The Red Bar on the Waters.


A day later Miss Ordway packed an
expensive bag of real alligator and
made ready for a departure.

A yearning sense of loss and loneli-

hand at parting. lending to his clasp
al unwonted tightness, and to his
voice a sense of huskiness. She was
home and the things thereof, this
woman who was an orchid among the
pines, and with her going went some
thing he had scarcely realized. yet
which he would sorely miss.

for Hampden-and the subtle implica-
ton pushed the advantage.
His face was flushed and he sat
straight on his horse, his khaki-and-
blue-fiannel clad figure making a not
ungraceful picture against the back
ground of vivid green. He whipped at
his laced boots. wet from the ferns.

He suddenly leaned over and laid
his rough hand over hers on the POM

Her heart was pounding and the
sparkle was dancing in her eyes.
Millions? Why, that must cover
a great deal Of landl Millions of
trees?"
"Yes-billions," promised Hampden
rashly. He rose in his saddle and
looked through a natural opening in
the forest down over the dropping
ridges.

far as you can see, to that other
ridge and over beyond it and down
into the other valley--is mine. I'm a
rich man, Miss ordway, an got it

He tapped his forehead significantly
and smiled.
Truly do admire you," lied Poppy
with the naivete of sixteen. Brains

selves "
Sand-y, looking at her swiftly, saw
the excitement in her eyes. and took
fire instantly.
Alone? Why--let's see. Are you
afraid to come out to the forked stick
by the road?"
In the darkness Miss Ordway
laughed-a little. low ripple of mirth,
soft and subtle.
"A tryst!" she said, in that small.
intimate whisper that suggested inf
mite mystery. Are we out of earshot
here?"
Yes" said Sandry. lowering his
voice to hers.
DO you happen to know where Fra
ger got all the holdings of the Dill
lingworth? How he got them?"
why, no." said Sandry wonderingly.
Il suppose he bought them. as any
company would do"
yes. So far so good. You know
that all this land was government land
that there are still claims lying far
back in the mountains open to filing.
But all this fine timber close in-all
that has chance of being got at-has
been taken-and have you noticed that
all of it, or nearly all, belongs to Ell

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, IIv-
er, and bowel poisons be-
fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sieken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks. sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
sch, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This Is vastly
more important. because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. drink before
breakfast each day, glass Of hot wa
ter with teaspoonful OF limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract. before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system OF these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying.
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast. act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.-Ady.
