practically a duologue between her pu-
tative father and the third member Of
the little party.
This last was one whom Lanyard
was sure he knew, though he could
see no more than the back of M. lie
Comte Remy de M%orbihan.
And he wondered with a thrill of
amusement if it were possible that
Roddy was on the trail of that tre-
mendous buck. If so, it would be a
chase worth following-a diversion
rendered the more exquisite to Lam
yard by the spice of novelty, since for
once he would figure as a dispassion'
ate %bystander.
The name of Comte Remy de Nor
bihan, although ~unrecorded in the AL
manach de Gotha, was n to conjure
with in the Paris of his day and gen.
Grafton. He claimed the distinction
of being at once the ugliest. II Of
the wealthiest and the most-liked nan
in France.
AS to his looks, good or bad, they
were said to prove infallibly fatal with
women, while not a few men, perhaps
for that reason, did their possessor the
honor to initiate them. The revues

A creature of proverbial good ma

But there were some ugly whispers

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that q
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing in
f%1uence ia soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. II will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get a bottle so as to start
treatment today. You will soon see q
marked improvement. Z.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. X, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

turned formally.
In his heart he was bordering sew
eral most excruciating methods Of
numbering the man. What did he
mean? How much did he know? II
he knew anything. he must les Ill,
for assuredly he could not be ignorant
Of Roddy's business or that every

Wolf or that Roddy was listening with

Decidedly something must be done
to silence this animal, De Morbihan.
should it turn out he really did know
somethingi
1t was only after profound refiec-
ton over his liqueur-while Roddy de-
voured his Daily Mail and washed II
down with a third bottle of Bass-that
Lanyard summoned the maitre d'hotel
and asked for a room.
1t would never do to fix the doubts
of the detective by going elsewhere
that night. But. fortunately, Lanyard
knew that warren which was Troyon's
as nc one else knew it; Roddy would
find it hard to detain him should
events seem to advise an early de
parture.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Brink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely TO live, but to
live well, eat well. digest we'll, work
well, sleep well. look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the slnices OF the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well. should. each 7 )rning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully in~vigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives n a splendid APP
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions Of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in.
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LDS BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physiC into a
sick child.

Look back at, your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is %well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup Of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it neve fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

"Ah. you Americana" De Morbihan
sighed. "You fill us with envy-you
have the souls of poets and the wealth
of p%rinces!"
But we must come to Paris to find
beautiful things for our womenfolk!"
Take care, though. lest you go too
far, NJ. Bannon."
How so-too far?"
You might attract the attention of
the Lone Wolf. They say he's IN the
prowl once more"
The American laughed a trace con-
temptuously. Lanyard's fingers tight
ened on his knife and fork; otherwise
he made no sign. A sidelong glance
into a mirror at his elbow showed
Roddy still absorbed in the Daily Mail.
The girl bent forward with a look
of eager interest.
THE Lone Wolf? Who is that?"
You don't know him in America,
mademoiselle?"

and humorous accents, lis the sobri-

The girl breathed an incredulous ex-
clamation.

exclaimed. Have they picked up the

affirmed.
By now the conversation had caught
the interest of several lettering wait
ers, who were listening open-mouth
ed; and even Roddy seemed a BIZ
startled, and for nee forgot to make
business with his newspaper, but his
wondering stare was exclusively fol
De Morbihan.
Lanyard put down knife and fork
swallowed a final mouthful of Hau
Brion, and lighted a cigarette with thu
hand of a man who knew not thu
meaning of nerves.
"Garcon!" he called quietly, and or
dered coffee and cigars, with a liqueu
to follow.

snapped, pressing a handkerchief to
his lips-"unfit to live!" he amended
venomously.
Lanyard murmured a conventional
expression of sympathy. Through it
all he was conscious of the regard Of
the girl. Her soft, brown eyes met
his candidly, with a look cool in its
composure, straightforward in it's in
quiry, neither bold nor ~mock-demure.
And if they were the first to fall, it
was with an effect of curiosity stated,
without trace of discontinue. And
somehow the adventurer felt himself
measured. classified, filed away.
Between amusement and pique he
continued to stare, while the elderly
American recovered his breath and
De Morbihan jabbered on with unfail-
ing vivacity; and he thought that this
closer scrutiny discovered in her face
contours suggesting maturity OF
thought beyond her apparent years

sum of his own-and with this the
suggestion of an elusive, provoking
quality of wistful languor, a hint OF
