ALMOST A YOUNG MAN AGAIN

When a man awakens in the morn ing with back so stiff he can hardly stoop over, with shooting twinges in sides and groins, dark and puffed pouches under eyes-when his move ments seem slowed up and he lacks vim and energy-instead of saying "Im getting old" he should be on guard against kidney trouble. E. R. Whitehurst, R. F. D. 1, Norfolk, Va, writes: "I had been suffering for more than a year, but since taking Foley Kidney Pills I feel almost a young man again"

what breathless but with an expression
of perfect composure.
"Can't you ever come home without
being telephOned for" demanded his
father.
"Yes, sir."' And Penrod added re-
proachfully, placing the blame upon
members of Mr.. Schofield's own class,
"Sam's mother and father kept me, or
I'd been home long ago. They would
keep on talllin, and l guess had to
be polite, didn't II"
His left arm was as free as his right |;
there was no dreadful bulk beneath
his jacket, and at Periods age the flu
ture is too far away to be worried
about. The difference between tempo
rary security and permanent security
is left for grown people. To Penrod,
security was security, and before his
dinner was half eaten his spirit had
become fairly serene.
Nevertheless, when he entered the
empty carriage-house of the stable, on
his return from school the next after
noon, his expression was not altogether
| without apprehension, and he stood ia
the doorway looking we'll about him
before he lifted a loosened plank In
| the flooring and took from beneath 1t
the grand old weapon of the Williams
family. Nor did his eye tighten with
any pleasurable excitement as he sat
himself down In shadowy corner and
began some sketchy experiments with
the mechanism. The allure of first
sight was gone. In Mr.. Williams bed
chamber, with Sam clamOring for pos
session, 1t had seemed to Penrod that
nothing in the world was so desirable
as to have that revolver In his own
hands-it was his dream come true
But, for reasons not definitely known
to him, the charm had departed; he
turned the cylinder gingerly, almost
with distaste; and slowly there stole
over him a feeling that there was

more definite and boys preserve them
selves from moment to moment, not Of
ten attempting to secure the future.
Consequently, the apprehensive Sam
and the unfortunate Penrod with the
monstrous implement bulking against
his ribs) walked out of the room and
down the stairs, their countenances in
dicating an interior condition of sol
emnity. And curious shade of be-
havior might have here interested a
criminolOgist. PenrOd endeavored to
keep as close to Sam as possible, like
a lonely person seeking company
while. on the other hand, Sam kept
moving away from Penrod, seeming to
desire an appearance of aloOfness.
"Go into the library, boys" said Mrs.
williams, as the three reached the foot
of the stairs. "I'n bring you your
cookies. Papa's in there"
Under her eye the two entered the
library, to find Mr.. Williams reading
his evening paper. He looked up pleas
antIy, but it seemed to Penrod that he
had an ominous and penetrating ex-
preston.
"What have you been up to, you
boys?" inquired this enemy.
Nothing" said Sam. different
things"
"What like?"
"Oh-just different things"
Mr.. Williams nodded; then his
glance rested casually upon Penrod.
"What's the matter with your arm
Penrod?"
Penrod became paler, and Sam with
drew from him almost cOnspicuOusly
| "Sir?"
81 said, What's the matter with your
arm?"
(which one?" Penrod quavered.
"Your left. You seem to be holding
It In an unnatural position. Have yor
hurt it?"
