IF BACK HURTS USE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead or Bladder botE1ers you Meat forms uric acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion ally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver. acid stomach, sleeplesgneSS and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with hthia, and Is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless: inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious complications.
 A known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- Ifeve in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

CHAPTER VIII.
Romance Comes.

Sometimes, Mcthodsts, or Prcsbytc-
rians, or hcrctiCs-whutevcr we may
be--we are irrcsistibly impclcd 20 the
conclusion that things were simply
bound to happen! However slight the
cause-still that cause was prcdestined
from the beginning Of time. A girl
may by the Shcercst accident step
from the street car block ahead of
her destlnntion-an irritating accident
But as she walks that block she may
meet an Old-timc friend, and stranger
And that strnngcr-ah, YOU can never
convince the girl that her stepping
from the car too soon was not ordered
when the foundations Of the world
were laid.
After all, it was very simple Across
the street from the parsonage lived Il
girl named Matte MoOrc-a common,

Mr. Allan laughed heartily. "Wcll
your burglar was in that closet after
the money, no doubt. and he didn't
hear you coming, and got locked ill.,"
In few minutes they heard foot
steps around the house ana knew the
officers had arrived. Mr.. Allan let
them into the house, four of them, and
led them out to the hall. There could
be no doubt whatever that the burglar
was In the dungeon. He had been
busy with his knife, and the lock was
nearly removed. If the officers had
been two minutes later, the dungeon
would have been empty. The girls were
sent upstairs Mt once, with the Allan
boy rs gunrd-as guard, without re-
gard for the fact that he was probably
more frightened than any one of them.
The chief officer raped briskly on
the dungeon door. Then he clicked his
revolver.
There are enough of us to over
power three of YOU" he said curtly.
And VIC hive men outside the house,
too. If YOU put your firearms on the
floor, and hold both hands over your
head, you'll be well treated If your
hands are not UP, we fire on sight. Get
your rcvolvcrs ready, boys"
Then the officer opened the door.
Evidently the burglar was wise enough
to appreciate the futility Of fighting
against odds. His hands were above
his head, and in less than Il second he
was securely manuclcd
The chief officer had been cying him
closely SAY! he exclaimed. "Arent
you LimbcrLimb Grant?" The burglar
grinned, but did not answer. "By

But the children loudly objected to
this. If Prue and Fairy went, they
would go! SO down the stairs they
trooped, timorous trembling crowd
Prudence went Mt once to the telc-
phone, and called up the residence of
the Allans, their neighbors across tho
street. After seemingly ncvcr-cnding
wait the kind-hcnrtcd ncighbor left
his bed to answer the insistcnt tele-
phone. Faltcringly Prudence explained
their prcdicament and asked him to
come and search the house He prom.

his son to help.

and wait. IT'S quiet there, and away

then, they hurried, and found real
comfort in it's smallness and secure

fully at every step.
Every breath Of wind against the
windows drew startled cries from the
younger girls, and both Fairy and Pru.
dcncc were white with anxiety when
they heard the loud voices OF the Al.
lans outside the kitchen door. Pru.
dence began crying nervously the mo.
ment the two angels Of mercy mp.
peared before her, and Fairy told their
tale Of woe.
"Well, there now," Mr.. Allan said
with rough sympathy, 'you just got
scared that's all. Everything's sus,
picious when folks get scared. I told
my wife the other day T bet you girls
would get good fright sometime, left
here alone. Come on, Jim, and we'll

Call the girls down here" he ordered,
and when they appeared, gazing ut tho
burglar with mingled admiration, pity
ana fear, he congratulated them with
considerable excitement.
"Its Limber-Limb Grant" he ex,
planned "Therc's reward Of five
hundred dollars for him. You'll get
the money, as sure as you're born"
Then he turned again to the burglar.
"Say, Grant, what's fellow like you
doing on such fifth-rate Job as this?
A Methodist parsonage is not Just In
your line, is it2"
Limber-Limb laughed sheepishly.
"Well," he explained good-naturedly,
"Chicago got too hot for me. I had
to get out in Il hurry, and I couldn't
get my hands on any money. l had
fine lot Of jewels, but was so pushed
! couldn't use them. l came here and
loafed around town for a while, be-
cause folks said Mount Mark was so
fast asleep it did not even wake up
| long enough to read the daily papers.

and knew the old man had gone off to
get more religion. This afternoon at

Cngo get Off the train, and knew what
that meant. But l needed some cash,
and so / wasn't above Il little job of

I'm partial to the ladies, every time"
| Mr.. Starr on Thursday morning had
taken the early enstbound train to
| Burlington. He attended the cvangc-
llstic services at the tabernacle in the
afternoon and evening and then went
to bed ut the hotel. He slept late the
next morning. When he finally ap-
pcarcd the clerk came at once from
behind the desk to speak to him. Two
or three other guests, who had been
lounging about drew near.
! 'Wc'vc Just been reading about your
girls, sir" said the clerk respectfully
"Its Il pretty ncrvy little bunch! You
must he proud Of thcm!"
"My girlsw y calculated Mr.. Starr.
"Havcn't you seen the morning pa
per? You're Mr.. Starr the Methodist
minister at Mount Mark, aren't your

my girls? Is anything wrong? Give
me the paper"
II Five minutes later Mr.. Starr and his
suitcase were in q taNicab speeding
toward Union station. and within eigh
minutes he was en- route for Mount
Mark-white in the face, shaky in the
knees, but tremendously proud In
spirit.
Arriving Mt Mount Mark he was in

members. mixed up with Prcsbytcrians,
Baptists and Il few unclassified outsid-

attraction.
She was telling the "whole story"
for perhaps the fifteenth time that
morning, but she broke off when her
father hurried in and flung her arms
about him. "Oh, papa" she cried,
they mustn't praise me. had no
idea there was burglar in the house
eStly can't see that much credit is
due me-"
But Mount Mark did not take it so
calmly. And as for the Methodist
church-wcll, the Presbyterian people
used to say there was ''no living With
those Mcthodists, since the girls caught
burglar In the parsonage" or cours"
1T was important, from the Methodist
point of Wow. Pictures Of the par
Sonagc and the church were in all the
papers for miles around, and at their
very next meeting the trustees decided
to Srt the piano the Sunday school had
been needing for the last hundred
years.
When the five hundred dollars ar.
rived from Chicago, Prudence felt that
! personally she had no real right TO the
money. "Wc must divide it," she in
sisted, "for / didn't earn it Il bit more
than any of the others. But it is
perfectly glorious to have five hundred
dollars, isn't it? Did You ever have
five hundred dollars before? Just take
1T, father, and use it for whatever we
need. It's family money"
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them ear
nestly, they decided to divide it.

dollars for the four younger ones" he
said, "and that will leave you as
much"
