WY Nuxated Iron by Helping to Sup
ply the Iron Deficiency In the Blood
often Increases the Strength and En-
duFanee Of Weak, Nervous, RuA-
Down Folks I'm Two Weeks time.
The men Of blood and iron whose In
| 1omitabIe force and tireless energy
helped win the war owe much to the
| strength obtained by eating coarse
foods and leading a rigorous outdoor
| life, is the opinion Of DR.. George H.
geon, Monmouth Memorial Hospital OF
New Jersey.
DR.. Baker believes that these same
conditions on a lesser scale have been
OF tremendous help to the health OF
men and women in civil life. In COM
menting upon this, he says: Just as
lack Of proper foods for its soldiers
saps the strength of nation, so does
want Of sufficient iron in the blood OF
men and women reduce their power
and make them an easy prey to the
thousands of disease germs constant
ly around us and always ready to at
tack the constitutions of the weak
and rundown. 1t Is not the quantity
Of food you eat which makes you
strong, but II is the amount which is
assimileted and taken up by the blood.
Iron is absolutely necessary to
change food into living tissue, muscle
and brain. Refined foods and modern
methods OF cooking have robbed US Of
I'D we should receive and there Is no
Ioubt in my mind that the coarse foods
of wartime, with their greater per
centage of strengthening iron, have
materially aided in building up n
stronger race OF people. But unless
this iron is obtained from our food it
must be supplied in some form that is
easily assimilated IL we want to pos
,ess power, energy, and endurance. For
supplying this deficiency and increas-
ing the red blood cOrpuscleS, / know
of nothing more effective than organic
Iron. From a careful
examination Of the formula and my
own tests of Nuxated Iron, 1 feel con-
vinced that il is a preparation which
any physician can take himself or pre-
scribe for his patients with the utmost
confidence OF obtaining highly bcne-
icial and satisfactory results. The
fact that Nuxated Iron is today being
used by over three million people an
1ualIy as q tonic, strength and blood
builder, is in itself an evidence Of
public confidence and !
am convinced that II others would

AS Madeline recognized the hand
holding the chart, she uttered a faint
cry of Joy and sank to the floor in
a swoon. Frank KimbaII, the chart
still grasped in his left hand, swung
the right with such force, under Wu's
chin as to send him spinning into a
rar corner. kimball had thrown off
his Mandarin coat, revealing his Gus
tomary uniform. As he turned he
caught sight Of a file of siIk-clad
ngures silently entering from a door
hitherto unseen.
This he had barely noticed when
ne was attacked from behind by
Snyder and Fuller. They had the ad-
vantage Of being fresh. and thew had
come so close before he had noticed
them that he couldn't strike a swing

best of him.

other was pinning his arms in back of

down so rapidly that Henderson had
the intolerable dying, sinking SEN
sation of ones worst Nightmares.
Madeline, just lifting languid lashes
from checks into which faint color
had come, saw the plane. To her
dazed consciousness, sick and faint
ing with the buffeting of fate where
shock succeeded to shock, and fear
to fear, the fact that the ship was
sinking had not penetrated. The
plane and her air-man lover-his
nearness where he had seemed so
hopelessly fairfield all the horizon.
With the same i1hmediateness of
action as when she had jumped from
the yacht into the sea on finding
herself trapped by WI Tsang, but
with nothing in her heart but the
Joy of the homing bird, she climbed
over the rail and jumped for the
hydroplane that pitched uneasily
below. Kimball caught her in his
arms.
Instantly, however, he motioned to
Henderson that the latter must care
for Madeline. While the sailor was
solving the not very easy problem. of
slowing himself away where there
was no cubic foot of space appar-
emily unoccupied, KimbaIl was climb
ing as rapidly as he could up the IN
seen airy staircase that all aviators
know. WI Tsang's yacht was lost
among the shipping that thronged
the watery ways that day. But
somewhere among the craft-each
boat no more innocent looking or I'M
distinguished than the one that had
launched the deadly bolt-was the
one presided over by that sinister in
telligence that had baffled them at
every turn. So because of his
precious freight Kimball had no
taste for further adventure with the
Oriental, but made for those safe
clean reaches of the upper air where
thus far apparently WI Tsang had
no control.
So they rose into peace and safe
ty, ignoring the sharp suspense Of
the crew of the ship during the
moment when it was not certain
whether the ship was to sink be-
fore aid could reach it and know
ing nothing of the later moment of
assurance when it was plain that
the safety bulkheads held and that
the ship would float.
Another thing they were igno-
rant of was that the constant sput-
ter of the wireless which they could
see for a long time was to ward
off the sleuths of the press. 1t was
not advisable to have a story go
out of an attack on a ship bearing
the Chief Executive until Naval In
teIligence could investigate the

any wave Of villainy. Now there's
got to be a solution Of this some
how, AND I'M GOING TO FIND
IT. Pm going to find out what
Tsang's motive is. He's the moving,
power; Pm convinced Of it. The
others merely do his bidding. Wen
follow German tactics in this one
thing. Wen pick them off, one by
one; separate the plotters.
Your own instinct taught you
how to begin It the first moment YOU
had alone with Mrs. Thayer after
you learned what she was. Snyder
and Fuller would fall to the ground
like two playing-cards propped to-
gether before the first pun Of wind
If WI Tsang did not have some pow
er over them I'M GOING TO FIND
OUT THE MYSTERY OF WI
TSANG. And then I'm going to beat
him!"
Madeline, looking up at him with
soft eyes Of alteration, said:
81 know you will"
Then the nurse came in, scolded
some more, and made her go to bed.
Kimball went out to see that the
men were properly placed about the
house; one of Major Pullman's plain
clothes men and himself were to
share the first half Of the watch,
Knowles and Henderson within call
on the first floor. The first part OF
the night passed quietly enough.
Kimball, pacing to and fro, saw the
light in Madeline's window 90 out
and sent up thought that was much
like a prayer. Toward one o'clock
he was beginning to be sleepy. Sud
denly looking out into the shadows
around the house he started. Some
motion struck him as being out OF
the normal He rubbed his eyes
'Tmpossible!" he said softly to
himself. He looked again. He felt
as if his eyes were starting out Of
his head with the strain.
"It's true! By God, it's true!"

There was a long pause. Then d
half stifed voice-Mrs. Thayer's-
"You don't understand-how can
a girl like you understand? I'm
not strong like you. I'm weak. It's
weak people that commit crimes, not
strong ones. Weak people have to
be false. I'm-afraid"-
The voice died out in a sort Of a
shudder. Then Kimbal heard a
series of hurried movements.
ooh, / must go! If he should
come and find me here-this way! /
must go. Now. No. don't dare
wait. No, Miss Connor. / don't
know what I'll do. I don't want to

murmur There was q pause and
then Madeline, his own Madeline,
came to the door, flushed evidences
Of tears. in her soft eyes, very tired.

''No-no, Frank, can't talk about
that poor woman. She's pitiful. But
she may harm me just the same
like a wounded snake with some poi
son left-but don't let's talk about
her. 1 know I'm going to be safe
here and rest and sleep. And, oh,
you are back again, and L was so

81 won't DEAR" he said, gently
drawing her to him. Her head fell
on his shoulder like that Of tired
child. Lis heart rose in a great ten
derness and he vowed to himself that
he would protect her. He WOULD.
There was only a moment before
the kindly nurse they had engaged
to care for Madeline came in with a
peremptory demand that she 90 to
bed. But before they said good
night he said, looking steadily down
into her eyes:
Sweetheart, in all this wild adven-
ture somehow we've allowed our
selves to be the sport Of circum-
stances, tossed here and there on
