There is much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t is because OF
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-all of which
are sure signs of acid stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
ity. mentaldepression ,melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same e-acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say 81 am
go nervous l think I'll fly to pieces;'
or "Itseems never get good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
II you are weak, nervous, unft-if
you are not up to your old time form
If you lack your accustomed enthu-
: siasm, energy and pep-make this test
and see if it isn't acid-stomach that is
holding you back = robbing you OF
your health, strength and vigor. Get
q big box of EATONIC-the wonder
full modern medicine that SO quickly
puts an acid stomach to rights. 1t is
in the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like q bit OF candy.

gestion, heartburn, sour belching, food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure, sweet and
comfortable.
Dentists warn us against the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats through the enamel
of the teeth, causing them to decay.
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization of
the stomach!
Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
SO remarkable as to be almost unbe-
ievable. Yet their letters of gratitude,
many of which are received daily,
prove absolutely that EATONIC does
all and even more than we claim. The
medical profession, too, recognizes the
great value of this wonderful remedy.
A learned Michigan doctor wrote re-
Gently: Il have had such wonderful
success with EATONIC that / want
every one to know how quickly it will
neutralize the acidity of the the stom-
ach (acid-stomach) and the stomach
will soon be sweet and normal again,

THE END.
The Hottest CITY.

The city Of Hyderabad, on the great
Sind desert of India, has the reputa.
ton of being the hottest place in the
world. having shade temperature Of
127 degrees during the summer
months! Even the natives find it hot
and that is saying something.
In order to cool their houses as much
as possible, the people make use Of
curious ventilators very much like
those on shipboard, setting" them so
as to convey breeze to the dwellers
in the hot rooms below. Every resi-
Dental building has several Of these
queer airshafts leading down to the
principal living rooms. and especially
to the bedrooms. Even so, it Is prac-
tically impossible, during the terrible
heat Of summer, to get to sleep until
two or three o'clock in the morning,
and then one only gets a couple Of
hours rest, as the rays of the Indian
sun are specially strong early In the
morning, and soon raise the tempera-
ture again to an unbearable extent.

CHAPTER XxV-Contjnued

'That makes no difference" Daphne
stormed, already converted to the
shop religion. customers must not
find the door shut. Run open It at
once. Suppose Mrs. Romilly dropped
in. We'd lose her-unless this no.
toriety drives her away" A little
blush of shame flickered in Daphne's
pale cheeks a moment and went out
She sighed: II suppose Mr.. Duane
has stopped that check, too-if he ever
sent it. Oh, dear!"
Then a nurse knocked; brought in
a card growing in large little aza-
lea tree. Daphne scanned it. "Mr.
Thomas Varick Duane!' She peered
closer at the pencilings and read
aloud: ~ just learned. I'm heart
broken. Isn't there anything l can
dor"
Daphne felt as if outraged society
had forgiven her.
isn't he darling?" she mur1nured.
Mrs. Chivvis begrudged stingy,
swell, of course" She had the Door
folks conscientious scruples against
wasting praise on the rich. you'll
want to see him, l presume"
But Daphne had had enough of evil
appearance. "See him here? Never!"
She glared at poor Mrs. Chivvis with
a reprOof that was excruciating to ac-
cept, and ordered her to 60 down and
meet Mr.. Duane and incidentally learn
about the check. Business is bust
ness" she said.
Mrs. Chivvis descended in all the
confusion OF Puritan wife meeting
a Cavalier beau. She came back later
to say that Mr.. Duane was really very
nice, and spoke beautifully and had
sent the check and would send an
other if Daphne wished it, and would
make old Mrs. Romilly 60 on with the
order. and would she like some spe-
cial fruits or soups or something? He
was really very nice.
Daphne eyed her with ironic horror
and said, you've been flirting with
him and me so helpless here!"
''Daph !-nee!! Kip!!!" Mrs. Chiv-
Wis screamed. The only counter-thrust
she could think of was, "And what
does Mr.. Wimbu-n say?"
This sobered Daphne. Why had
Clay sent no word? Everybody else
in town had seen the papers. Clay
read the papers. Surely he was not
capable Of such mOnStrOus piQue.
When your worst enemy gets badly
hurt you've just got to fOrgive-if
you're human.

CHAPTER XVII.

In the course of a few wretched
days Clay picked up some of the facts
about Daphne's presence in Wether-
ellis fatal car. He was more furious
mt her than ever and more incapable
Of hating her.
He saw Bayard often, but Bayard
knew little and said less. One after
noon he invited Clay to ride with him
to the hospital, whence Leila was to
graduate. He warned Clay not to be-
tray how shocked he would be at Lei
las appearance, which, he said, was
wonderful improvement on what it
had been.
She was, indeed, a mere shell, and
Clay was not entirely successful with
his compliments.
Leila sighed: much obliged for
your good intentions. I'm q mere
sack of bones, but I'm going to get
well. The doctors say that If I take
care of myself every minute and go
to lot Of specialists and go to Bar
HarbOr in the hot weather and to
Palm Beach in the cold and spend
about a million dollars I'll be myself
some day. That's not much. but it's
all I've got to work for. Poor Bydie
He didn't know he was endowing a
hospital when he married me-"
'What do I care, honey" Bayard
cried. with perfect chivalry. 1.-THE
money is rolling in and I'd rather
spend it on you than on anybody else. y
"The moneys rolling out just as
fast as it rolls in" Leila sighed. ''The
Lord seems to provide a new expense
for every streak Of luck. And that's
my middle name-Expense."
She had actually learned one lesson.
That was hopeful sign.
Clay sought Daphne in her odious
Ito him) place of business. She asked
him what she could sell him. He said
he would wait till the shop closed.
She raised her eyebrows impudently
and gave him chair in a corner. He
sat there feeling as out Of place as a
strange man in harem.
Eventually the last garrulous Gus.
toner talked herself dumb; the last
sewing woman went. Mrs. Chivvis
pulled down the curtains in the show
window and at the door and babe good
night.
Then Daphne locked the door
dropped YEARLY into q chair, and
sighed, swell, ClayT
II want to know why you don't give
up Tom Duane"
She shrugged her excellent shout.

so long you might have, though.
Where've you been, Clay? But wait
you can tell me ON the way over to
the new shop"
When she led him into her new en-
porium the graceful fabrics displayed
were all red rags to him. He was a
bull in crimson shop.
Daphne made Clay sit down and
asked him If it were not all perfectly
lovely. He waited until Mrs. Chivvis
went on to the workroom. He had a
glimpse of number Of girls and
wome on sewing bent. They were
laughing and chattering.
He answered, "It's perfectly loath-
sOme."
Instead Of resenting this insult
Daphne laughed till she fell against
the counter. The worst Of 1t was that
her eyes were 80 tender.
"Where did you get all the capital
for all this stock?" Clay demanded,
with sudden suspicion.
"Oh, part of it we bought on credit
and part Of it on borrowed money"
Borrowed from whom?"
"FrOm Mr.. Duane"
This was too much Of too much
Clay stormed: "I'll get him!"
"Oh, no. you won't!"
ooh, yes, I will ~
II won't have you assaulting the
best friend I've got in the world"
He groaned aloud at this, not no.

She ran on. She had not talked to

chatterbox.

wished. He took out a little book

have you owing him money"
"You won't have!" Daphne Knocked
'You won't have? Since when die
you become senior partner here?"
"Senior partner!" Clay rallied. "Tn
no partner in this business! I hate
this business. 1t makes me sick tt
see you in it."
'Then step out on the walk" sale
Daphne. "You're soaring away Gus
toners and using up the time of the
firm. The boudoir is no place for you
anyway"
A young woman with a bridal eye
walked in and Daphne left Clay tt
blunder out sheepishly. He did no
see that she cast sleeps eyes after
him. He was a most bewilderet
young man. He had made a pile o.
money and still he was not happy!

on feet fiedged with Mercurial wings.
His feet were beautiful on the rug of
the presidents Office.
Bayard felt 50 kindly to all the
world that he hurried to the hospital

She spoke instead: II don't ask you
to give up your stenographer."
ooh, it's like that, eh? Well, then,
why won't you let me lend you money
instead Of Tom Duane"
Her answer astounded him with it's
feminine logic: II can borrow Of Mr..
Duane because I don't love him and
never did and he knows it. I can't
borrow Of you because"
He leaped at the Implication: "Be.
cause you love me?"
Because I used to-"
"Don't you any more?" he groaned.
"How can I tell? It's been months
and months since l saw the Clay
Wimburn that came out to Cleveland
and lured me on to New York. The
only Clay Wimburn I've seen for
some time has been a horribly pros
porous, domineering snob who is too
proud to be seen with a working
woman. He wants to marry q lady.
I never was one and don't want to
be one. I'm a business woman and
love it."
"And you wouldn't give up your
shop for meY
Certainly not"
He looked at her with baffled emo
tons. She was so delectable and so
obstinate, SO right-hearted and so
wrOng-headed. It was intolerable that
she should keep a shop. He spoke
after long delay:
"May I come and see you once in
a while?"
IF you want to-"
"Where you living now?'
"Still at the Chivvises'."
you ought to take better care of
yourself than that. Surely you can
afford a better home"
II suppose so, but it would be
lonely anywhere else. It has been
safe there-since you quit calling or

But you're making so much
money"
"Not SO very much-yet, but it's
all my own and made every cent OF

it grow"
"You miser."

to scatter good news like flowers over
Leila's couch. She was in that humor
when anybody else's good fortune was
an added grief to her.
I'm no use to you now" she walled.
Il never was much. But at least I
dressed and kept looking fit. And you
said l was pretty. But now Oh,
Bayard. Bayard! You used to call me
beautiful. and tried to be beautiful
for you. But now To be ugly and
useless bOth-it's too much!"
Wise pathfinders say that when you
are wandering in strange country you
should turn every now and then and
look back at the way you came. 1t
wears different aspect entirely from
its look as you approached, and you
will need to know how it will look
when you return.
From childhood on, Leila had been
warned against extravagance-as Bay
ard had, as have we all. But only
now that she was looking backward
could she realize the wisdom, the in
tolerable truth of the adage, "Waste
not, want not"
Meanwhile Daphne was having so
different history that she felt
ashamed. 1t seemed unfair to her to
get well quickly and with no blemish
except a scar or two that would not
show, while Leila hung between death
and deformity.
But seeing Bayard alone and hear
ing Leila fret, she felt confirmed in
her belief that she had done the whole
some thing when she Joined the labor
ing classes. There were discourage.
ments without cease. yet Daphne was
learning what a remedy for how many
troubles there is in work. It seemed
to be almost panacea. 1t was exciting,
fatiguing, alarming, but it was objec-
tive. She was on her way at last to
that fifty thousand a year she had
dreamed Of. She was uncertain yet Of
earning a thousand year, but she
was on the road.
Clay Wimburn, seeking chances in
the West, did not see the New York
papers or any ether record of Daph-
mes accident. When he got back to
New York, his pockets full of con-
tracts, Bayard, equally successful,
greeted him enthusiastically. Then he
learned of the accident and the fact
that Daphne was ''in trade" He was
indignant at the news and wanted to
see her at once.
Bayard gave him the address, and
Clay wasted no time asking further
questions. He made haste to the SUBJ
way. Tuning; left the train at the
Grand Central station and climbed up
to a taxicab.
Then he found Daphne.
She led him into little shop empty
of everything but the debris Of re-
moval.
''Where are weY said Clay.
This was my shop"
whats the matter? Busted al
ready" Clay asked, with a not unflat-
tering cheerfulness.
"Not in the least" Daphne ex-
planned. "We've expanded so fast we
had to move. We sublet and moved
across the street.
"YOu remember Mrs. Chivvis, don't
you? Mrs. Chivvis, you haven't for
