EARTH's RICHEST RUBY MINES
Center Of Worlds Store of Precious
Stones Is Known to Be Located
In Upper Burma.

The worlds ruby center is Mogok, In
upper Burma, some 20 miles north of
Mandalay. Here are the great ruby
mines. one of Burma's most valuable
monopolies, says the London Weekly
Telegraph. Indeed, not only does this
country produce the finest of these
coveted gems, but they are recovered
in such quantities as to enable her to
dominate the market.
Few are aware that, weight for
weight, ruby is more valuable than a
diamond. 1t is estimated that one the
color of pigeons blood, weighing nve
carats, will sell for ten times the value
of a diamond of the same weight. Fur
thermore, the price increases with the
size Of the stone.
AS the "byon," or earth containing
the coveted gems, is taken from the
ground it is placed in great revolving
tub. Here it is screened and all loose
earth removed by water. The residue
is then tipped on the sorting table. A
white overseer carefully examines the
pile, selecting the true gems from tne
worthless debris. IL he's lucky he may
at one sorting find gems worth many
thousands of dollars, while on the 9TH
er hand the yield may be but a nun
bred dollars or two. The yearly out
put of rubies from these mines totals
about 100000.

There is a 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, mental depression, melancholia and
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source acid-Stomach.
So often you hear people say Il am
SO nervous l think I'll fly to pieces" !;
or ''It seems 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.
IF you are weak, nervous, unfit
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 a
big box of EATONIC-the wonderful
modern medicine that so quickly puts
an acid stomach to rights It is in
the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that you eat like a bit Of candy.

With great difficulty and in all trepi-

He stared at her, trying to under

Then he shifted with amused unbelief,
dropped his hands, and stood aside.
Daphne could hardly believe her

before the spell was broken. AS she
passed him-whether he suddenly
changed his mind or had only pretend
ed to acquiesce- he enveloped her in
his arms.
She almost swooned in the onset of
fear and the suffocation of his en-
brace. Then she fought him, striking,
scratching. writhing. He crowded
her against the nearest table and tried
to reach her lips across her left elbow.
Her outfnng right hand struck
against an inkwell, recognized it as a
weapon of a sort, and, clutching it,
swept it up and emptied it into his
face.
His satyric leer vanished in a black
splash. His hands went to his

She knew what she was escaping

acid. Brings instant relief from indi-
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-
lievable. Yet their letters of grati-
tude, many of which are received
daily, prove absolutely that EATONIC
does all and even more than we claim.
The medical profession, too, recog-
nizes the great value OF this wonder
full remedy. A learned Michigan doc
tor wrote recently: 81 have had such
wonderful success with EATONIC that
] want every one to know how quick
~ 1t will neutralize the acidity Of the
stomach (acid-stomach) and the stom-

CHAPTER xvI-continued.


It'll buy myself picture of you"
She told of her longing for a photo
graph of him, but did not tell him of
her need Of it as a talisman. He
laughed aloud at this incredible way
of spending money, till she began sud-
denly TO cry. He had no answer to
that argument except yes. Then she
began to laugh. They decided to stop
at photographers on the way to the
five-thirty train.
Daphne ran out and cashed Reben's
check at the grocer's much to the re-
lief of Reben's bookkeeper, whose
books had been held up by the missing
check.
Daphne asked for the privilege Of
taking her father to the train, and
Bayard was so busy figuring where to
put the cash he had on hand that he
consented to stop at home.
They went first to the gallery of q
photographer whose showcase had
displayed some strong and veracious
portraits of men. The photographers
prices staggered Daphne and she pro-
tested, but he answered dolefully:
I'D give thousand dollars for one
photograph Of my father"
That settled it.
After the sitting Daphne and her
father proceeded to the station. She
stopped at the gate because she had
neither a ticket for the train nor a
platform pass from the station master.
She watched him dwindling down
the long platform. He was mere
ananikin when he reached his place and
waved to her before he vanished
through the magic door of the train.
She waved to aim with her handker-
chief, and when, he was gone she bur-
led her eyes in it. Her partings with
her father had marked epochs in her
life. She wondered what destiny would
do to her between now and the next
one. She felt ferlorn, afraid for his
life on the train, afraid for her soul in
the periIs before it, and SO sorry for
him and for herself that she could not
help boo-hooing a little.
Destiny did not keep her waiting,
for while she was strangling her sobs

turned to meet his smile with another.

SIN awfully sorry" she said, and
her voice broke.
Sorry was dangerous word for
her at that moment, and her sobs were
beginning again, when he made a Wig
orous effort to talk them down.
The crowds in the station were too
well preoccupied with their own err
rands to notice girl crying, and to
the gateman farewell tears were no
luxury.
Duane tried the best he could to help
her. He was saying: "And now 1 sup
pose I've got to miss my train and my
golf and all that while take you home
in a taxi. You're far too pretty to be
running around loose in mob like
this"
She shook her head "You mustn't
miss your train, Mr.. Duane, or your
golf. I'm used to going about alone,
and I've got to get useder to it. I'm
going home in the subway. Good-by
and thank you"
She put out her hand formally, and
he took it. 1t was like q soft, sun
warmed flower in his palm, and he
clung to it. It's warmth seemed to
reach through his blood to his heart
and to make it ache.
81 must go. You can't put me of
again!" he said. 81 will take you
home!" He turned to call a redcap
standing in solemn patience beside two
travelling bags and bristling golf bag.

room and bring me the check"
'No," said Daphne, hastily. Il

She walked away so rapidly that he
could not follow her without unseemly
haste. She heard him call, sharply
"Porter, never mind the parcel room.

clothes lost freshness.
But the violence of Gerst's resent
ment would be detail. The horror
was the mere thought of his touch.
She rose quickly and tried to reach
the fire escape. That was the solu-
tion-to join the crowd.
But Gerst filed the aisle. She sided
past two tables into the next aisle. He
laughed and sided across to the same
aisle. She tried to hasten by. He put
his arms out and snickered:

CHAPTER XVII.

| Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvis
of her financial plight, nor of her ia.
theirs, nor her brothers. She had
simply let the days of payment GO
past one by one. She saw a chillier
glitter in Mrs. Chivvis' eye and there
was constant restraint upon the con-
versation for many days.
Mr.. Chivvis was at home most of the
time now, sitting about in his old
clothes to save the others. He and his
wife naturally talked Of Daphne,
Sometimes she overheard their under
tones. Each seemed to urge the other
to the attack. Finally, one evening
Mrs. Chivvis made so bold as to call
on Daphne in her room, and to say,
after much improvising:
81 dislike to speak Of it, Miss Kip,
but-well -er-you see-the fact is
| if you The grocer is sending round
in the morning for his last weeks bill,
and-if it's not announcement"
Daphne felt sick with shame, but
she had to confess, 81 can't tell you
how sorry am, but haven't any,"
Really? That's too bad !" Mrs.
Chivvis said. She was hardly sorrier
1 for herself than for Daphne. She tried
to brighten them both with hope. ''But
you expect-no doubt you expect soon
| to-"
sTve been looking for for some
work to do, but there doesn't seem to
be any,"
"Oh, I seer said Mrs. Chivvis, con-
| frmed in her suspicious and reduced
| to silence. Daphne went on, after
swallowing several cobblestones:
'But, of course. I've no right to be
eating your food and staying on here
as a guest. And suppose I'd better
give up my room, so that you can
take in somebody who can pay"
Mrs. Chivvis was close, but she was
not up to an eviction, and she gasped.
"Oh, really IL hardly think
| shouldn't like"
Her hard voice cracked like an
icicle swapping off the caves in a
spring sun; and before either of them
quite understood it the hard eyes OF
both thawed; tears streamed, and
they were in each others arms.
Daphne was the better weeper of
the two. Poor Mrs. Chivvis could not
be really lavish even with tears; but
she did very well, for her.
Immediately they felt years better

would no more have crossed the sill
than he would have broken into the

Wis, not Clodius.
The surprised eyes Of Daphne threw
him into confusion, but he said: Eve

really want to work and aren't too

firm accepted her.

She entered the Office of the company

all sorts of people who gave their
street numbers.
The letters she wrote were not an
swered at all. She lost her postage as
she had lost her car fares. 1t seemed
as If the end of the world, or at least
the breakup of its civilization, had ar
rived without warning and without
refuge.

while it laSted-Whlch was not long,
for Gerst came back Unexpectedly
early,
His eye met Daphne's. He started
toward her, and then, seeing that she
glanced away, went on to his desk.
He stood there manifestly irresolute a
moment. He glanced at Daphne again,
at the fire escapes, at the empty room.
Then he went to the first of the tables
and with labored carelessness inspect
ed the work Of the absentee. He drift
ed along the aisle toward Daphne,
throwing her now and then an inter-
rogative smile that filed her with a
fierce anxiety.
She knew his reputation. She had
seen his vulgar scuff1es with some of
the girls, had heard his odious words.
She was convinced that he was about
to pay her the horrible compliment Of
his attention.
Her heart began to flutter with fear
and wrath. She felt that if he spoke
to her she would scream; if he put his
hand on her shoulder or her chair she
would kill him, with pair of scissors
or the knife with which she scraped
off blots. No, she must not kill
him. But she would have to strike
him on the mouth.
But that meant instant dismissal at
the very least. He might smash his
fist into her face or her breast or
knock her to the floor with the back
of his hand. She had seen too much
of life recently to cherish longer the
pretty myth that the poor are good to
the poor. She had seen how shabby
