of himself" and no young gentleman
in the world was more loath than
George ANDERSON Minafer to look a
figure of fun. And while he stood
there, undeniably such figure, with
jamie and Mary Sharon threatening to
burst at any moment, if laughter were
longer denied them, Lucy sat looking
at him with her eyebrows delicately
lifted in casual, polite inquiry. Her
own complete composure was what
most CALLED him.
Nothing Of the slightest impOr-
lance" he managed to say II was
Just leaving. GoOd-afternoon ~ And
with long strides he reached the door
and fastened through the hail. but
before he closed the door he heard
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out
burst of Wild irrepressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in a tumultuOus
mood and almost ran down two ladies
who were engaged in absorbing con-
versatiOn at crossing. They were
his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Johnson;
jerk of the reins at the last instant
saved them by few inches; but their
conversation was so interesting that
they were unaware of their danger,
and did not notice the runabout nor
how plOco n oon,o To thap,
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagaclOus Pendennis saving
himself from going through partition
by swerve which splintered a shaft
of the runabout and almost threw the
driver to the floor George swore, and
then swOre again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now APP
preaching completion, but still in a
state of rawness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their con-
versatiOn and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight Of Eu-
gene;' and a vague revulsiOn, like
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent Of
so much thought about her companion
and of such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabel's glance,
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
stantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as in
some rigid trance, and staring straight
at them gave these signals Of greeting
no sign of recognition whatever. Upon
this, Isabel called to him, waving her
hand again.
"Georgie!" she called, laughing.
awake up, dear! George, hello!"
George turned away as If he had
neither seen nor heard, and stalked
into the house by the side door.

BACKING UP PROOF
The Kind That Middlebury People
Cannot Deny


Many an ernest Middlebury man or
woman has publicly endorsed Doans
Kidney Pills
Week after week, month after month
you've read their statements.
Would these Middlebury people rec
ommend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat their
statements after years had passed.
Local proof is good evidence,
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
The following Middlebury woman's
statement leaves no room for doubt.
1t must convince every kidney suf-
ferer who reads it.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
are weak, profit by the experience of
Mrs. o. A. Comstock, S. Main St. She
says: "My kidneys we're disordered and
1 had severe pains in my back. l had
other symptoms of kidney trouble and
knowing of other people who had been
cured by Doans Kidney Pills, I began
taking them. Three boxes brought a
bout such complete change 1 didn't
have to take them any longer"
LATER TESTIMONY
On September l6, 1916, Mrs. Com
stock said; a confirm all have said
in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, be-
cause they are good. l always recon-
mend them when l have a chance"

! or men which was born OF wide ex-
perience, fiattered him with close at
tention. II has been said that the
road to a mans heart is through his
stomach. Mrs. Thayer knew better;
she knew that the surest and quickest
way to gain a mans affection Is by
/ listening sympathetically while he
talks about himself
1t was not long before Kimbalis
spirits were revived, and he gained
courage and confidence in himself as
he talked to this beautiful woman,
who seemed more interested in his
affairs than in anything else in the
world. There came to his mind now
and then the thought OF how different
was her attitude from that Of Made
line, and the feeling that at last he
was understood brought repose to his
mind and nerves.
AS he relaxed under the influence
OF her personality. his mind Travelled
back TO that wholly delightful
luncheon at Servants, and he sug-
Gested that they wander out for some
amusement Although the show
was by that time half over, they de-
cided to go to Keith's for the last few
acts, and then try the Shoreham for
a bite after the performance.
He had feeling that perhaps he
was not quite loyal to Madeline, but
the adventure was so innocent and
yet so charming that he could not
resist.
As Kimball said good night at the
elevator which was to take Mrs.
Thayer to her room, their hands
fingered a moment together, his eyes
smiled into hers, and as he went
back to his leather chair to finish
his atter-supper cigar he had a feel
ing Of eXhiliration, Of soothed nerves,
OF completeness, which his associa-
tion with the vigorous girl from COL
orado had not given him.

Coming down 20 the lobby of the
hotel after having seen Madeline to
her floor, Kimball bought cigar and
seated himself in a comfortable lea:h-
er chair TO have il out with himself.
| There was no doubt about il, he was
unh Ippy, Madeline did not seem 10
understand him. and was at the same
time showing a decided preference for
Major Knowles. He felt that il vas
not his fault that he had seemed TO
desert her as the mininster had al
most pronounced them man and wife,
and ii seemed to him that one who
truly loved him would be more sym
pathetic, and would understan nd better
what he had tried to do.
While he was in this state OF mind
voice Of unusual sweetness began
to draw his attention. II sounded IN
some way familiar. but for the mo-
ment he could not place ii. Turning
his head to get view Of the speaker,
he discovered Madam Tere, in reality
Mrs. Thayer, talking with a friend.
When she saw him she came Ior-
ward with a cordial smile, extending
both hands In greeting, for they had
established most friendly relations
during their lunch al Servants a few
days before. Kimball. feeling a little
gulIty at his pleasure In meeting heT'
found a quiet corner where they were
soon in animated conversation.
Mrs. Thayer was woman or
beauty, OF charm, of sympathy, and
her wide knowledge gave her q great
advantage over the unsophisticated

a recluse with her father who had

rest till he had put them out Of the
way.
With the fullest determination TO
outwit and to Outright the Chihaman,
they made their way to the vine-clad
stone house on Connecticut avenue.
With every appearance OF friendli-
ness they entered the room in which
was seated the man whose death they
meant to accomplish.
Wu Tsang, dressed in Chinese cos
tune, with a gown Of yellow silk
wonderfully embroidered with red
flowers, sat in a chair OF carved
teakwood. Above his head sat two
carved dragons whose jeweled eyes
shone hypnotically with q light that
seemed to be full OF evil intent to-
ward those at whom they looked.
The air was close with a heavy,
sweet. oriental odor, so often almost
nauseating to an occidental
He looked at them coldly. inscruta-
bly, and in their minds arose the fear
that in some way he might be aware
OF their purpose. Inwardly they
cringed, but outwardly they main
tained an appearance Of cordiality.

tone that was a trifle loud, even for
his usually harsh and blatant voice.

"Yes," said Snyder. more quietly.
I'VE have the package which contains
the furmulas, and we are ready to
turn IL over to you"
Wu Tsang's face frightened at this,
and he reached forward his hand to
receive the package.
ITS at the hotel, where it is held
in the safe till we come for it," de-
clared Fuller, "and IL you will come
with US we will deliver it to you
there"
For a moment the expression OF
WI Tsang's face grew sinister, and
the thought again came to the two
crooks that he was enot willing to
trust them. But il was for a moment
only he hesitated. and without utter
ing a word he left the room to pre-
pared himself for the trip to the
hotel
1t was not without reason that they
feared WI Tsang. for when he re-
turned he was prepared to put them in
