CHAPTER II.

That evening had dinner with Mrs.
Sidney and her daughter IsObel. had
been in the house tMe1ty-four hours
and did not know there was daugh-
ter until slinner brought the three of
us together.
Mrs. Sidney was Spanish. She was
a lovely woman, gracious and charm
ing. but | thought there was great
deal of steel hidden In her disposition.
She did not seem to ask that life be
soft or to expect TO find it so. She
had a Roman dignity of self respect
which did not, / could be sure, permit
moaning. 1t would not have taxed any
ones perceptions to recognize In Mrs.
Sidney human being living an ex-
traordinary life. The fact was so APP
parent that II seemed part of her
personality.
It must be remembered that | had
come to Hartley house prepared for
abnormalities. There was first, the
man with the wonderful will to live
which had interested DR.. Browaell.
There was the alien beauty of the
house. the strange servant jed, the
haunted pool-insignifcant as 1t was,
to rational being-the lovely woman
who was so apparently tragic figure.
There was the fact of my being locked
in my room the first night. There
were the forbidding defences of the
place-walls, dogs and keepers. I may
be excused for taking fancIful view
Of my new surroundings.
Then there was Miss Sidney-Isobel.
She came into the dining room an I'M
expected IL not astonishing phenome-
non to me, who did not know that
there was daughter in the family.
Mrs. Sidney presented me.
How do you dot" said Miss Sidney,
and she seemed to fad 1t tiresome that
stranger had taken place at the
table.
Jed served us. and the dinner was
excellent. Although the ladies' had
only glass of sherry each, ! was Of
fered variety of liquors. Ny habit
is abstemious except upon rare occa-
sions, but ] was so embarrassed by
Miss Sidney's boredom that took two
glasses of champagne, and they made

the situation and believes that there h

Variety in Bark Of Dog.

To the student of such matters, the
bark of dog can express every shade
Of emotion from JOY to terror. There
Is the challenging bark of Watchdog
There Is the gayly trumpeting bark OF
the dog who sees his master after a
long absence or who Is about TO be
taken for a walk There is the har-
rowing bark Of the pup that meets a
tortoise in mid-path for the first time
and there Is the scared bark of the
same pup when the turtle Kisses at
him. To one who has. bothered to
make study of 1t, bark is as ex-
presslve Of any of several emotions as
IL human speech, and Is as easily
classified. Learned scientists, Lub-
book among them, have declared most
solemnly that the bark of dog Is an
effort at initiating human speech. They
have backed this statement by prov
Ing that wild dogs never bark. nor
do such few domestic dogs as have
been reared (by way Of experiment)
under conditions in which they have
never heard the human voice. No IN
tanned branch Of the dog family has
bark.

stepped his bounds. He was not kp'
parently contrite but he was cautious.
A week was without incident. Then
Miss Sidney went away to make visit
Her absence was a spiritual disaster,
Eestatic and morose youth! The beau.
ty of Hartley house became hollow
and dark melancholy, making sad
sounds. Vibrant life had gone from 1t.
Its perfume was lost.
| cannot now tell quite what 1t was
that made Hartley house, place so
comfortable and genial, at the same
time place so threatened. The threat
could not be ignored: 1t was there. The
story of the ghost at the haunted pool
could have nothing to do with 1t. The
threat had tangible aspects. Mrs. Sid
ney's worry, ulspoken but craven In
her resOlutely Roman face, was one
evidence. The extraordinary behavior
of Jed was another. The atmosphere
of the place was one of mystery.
During the pleasant, peaceful, odor-
Gus summer months, when our life was
one of undisturbed routine, never es-
capped the sense of dread. i hoped the
intangible would take shape; surely
something intangible that would be en-
bodied, hung over the house.
I may not be able to make this GER
tainty appear so wildly to you as 1t
did to me. 1t permeated; 1t was in the
atmosphere; 1t hung over the woods
It filled the house. II came with the
odors Of blossoms; 1t was expressed In

STOP HEADACHE
REMOVE CAUSE
Your Money Back While
You Wait at the Counter
If Aspironal Elixir Does
Not Relieve In Two Min
utes. Absolutely Safe.

You can save half an hour or more
OF headache pain by taking the new
Aspironal Elixir instead Of the slow
acting tablets that have to wait so
long to be digested and absorbed. AS
pironal being liquid acts almost in
stantly and is preferred by doctors
for the reason that it is not dangerous
to the heart.
The next time you have headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half dollar for bottle Of
Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls, in a little water.
With your watch in your hand count
off two minutes and call for your mon
ey back, as per manufacturers guar
an'9e, II you can't feel your headache
fading away within the time limit.
Doctors recommend and druggists
guarantee Aspironal because they
know Its acts SO much quicker, with.
out the slightest danger to the heart
and because 1t removes the cause of
bilious and sick headaches by its gen.
tie action on the liver. Aspironal cor
reefs biliousness and constipation
thereby preventing the return OF your
headache next day. All druggists in.
yite and expect you to try Aspironal, So
don't be bashful. Everybody is doing

coughs and neuralgia.-Ady.

DOCTORS THRILLING STRUGGLE
WITH DEATH IS VICTORIOUS
Fierce Battle With Grim Spectre Brings Health TO Dr.
Reese and Message of Hone to Millions of
Sufferers.

After DR.. H. V. Reese had suffer
cd for 10 years and had been told by
the greatest stomach specialist in the
country that there was no hope for
his recovery, he determined to spend
his remaining days in experimenting
upon himself in an endeavor to de-
velop remedy for sufferers from
stomach, liver and kidney trouble
such as himself. \
DR.. Reese's condition at this time
was SO critical that it was impossible
for him to retain food in the stomach
IT being necessary to wash that or
gan out two or three times day.
This in addition to the severe liver
and kidney trouble which generally
goes with stomach trouble.
After months OF heart-breaking
failures and with his condition grow=
ing worse DR.. Reese finally hit upon
the Formula which Is now known as
tho Reese Formula. R-11 that COM
pletely restored his health.

SUSPECT 1T
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful IN overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing influ-
ence OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview Of the sub
jeet, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble Is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease, Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large
