Irnpatiently, her chauffeur endeav-
ored TO hunt out the garage man OF inc
place, who resolutely refused to be as
turbed until morning. There was
nothing for It but that the beautiful
songstress must reconcile herself Tor
the remainder Of the night to the num-
BILE hospitality of the hotel.
Pleasant, at least, was the room TO
which Warren's wife led her, with
flowers Oh the spotless dresser and
windows open to welcome the coming
sunlight.
But 1t was not the morning sunlight
which awakened Lillian Lorimer, but
q series of birdlike. yearning notes
coming from beneath the window.
Quickly she sat up in the big bed,
listening with eager, discriminating
ears. The birdlike notes ran pleasant
ly together, like the theme OF q rip
pling brook, interpolated with the JOY
Gus calls of greeting birds.
Lillian Lorimer dressed hastily; the
frock she drew from her bag was white
and simple, and she did not walt TO
bind up the long braids Of hair. So,
In the parlor doorway, Rad saw her
as he sat at the plano, and though he
wondered a little at this girls early
appearance, he was not, as usual,
startled or embarrassed.
A girl with braids down her back
even such q very pretty glrl--was not
to be feared as a listener. She had
probably come to the school SO, at her
~entreating gesture, Rad played on.
Absorbed, he did not notice her hasty
exit or her return later with a for
eign and MISUNDERSTANDING man. 1t
was when at last his limitation OF the
Sounds Of the Wood" had sent out Its
last vibrant chord that No-sood
Rohlf received his great surprise.
"You are coming with US" the white
clad girl cried breathlessly. "You are
q genius-the wizard man I have been
seeking. You shall play for me your
phantasies, and I will sing them"
The foreign-looking man nodded.
"It Is So" he said earnestly; "you
must come"
SO No-good Rohlf went away. And
with the first news Of his great success
. there came to Zed Warren's hotel a
very grand piano.

NO-GoOD R0HLF
BY WHITE.

There were five Rohif boys In the
small house on the hill. Four stall
wart fellows. filling the soil, studying
for future labors, and ono Indifferent
lad who, as time passed, showed no
inclination for any work. His smbi-
tious old father and mother spoke
openly their encouragement. Rad
don't pear to have 1t in him." they
confessed. The heighborhood view was
even less charitable.
"No-good Rohlf" they named the
boy contemptuously.
Certain village maidens who secret
ly INDUCED In q shamed admiration OF
Rad Rchlf's dreamy eyes and courte-
Gus ways, turned from him sadly. In
their busy lives was no place for a no
good" however charming.
RAIDS oldest brother surprised the
community by taking his thrifty store
and starting for the city, to study med
icine. The second took up q promising
travelling position, while the other W
remained to work the farm. Rad had
long been left to his WI ways.
Through with the necessary studies
Of the village school, he idled his time
tramping the woods or fishing nbsently
in q nearby stream. Usually he car
ried with him a book Of poems. and
on his tramp through lonely places ne
might be heard humming some tune or
other, weirdly sweet.
Young girls eyed him wistfully, as
on certain Sundays "No-good' Rohlf
leaned his curly head against the cab
met frame of the old church organ.
But Rad was all unaware; satisfied In
his vaguely sweet dreamings, their
aloofness or their elder brothers dis
approval disturbed him not. 1t was
only when his brothers grew vehement
In their disgust over his uselessness
that RAIDS dark eyes were grieved and
brooding. At such times he would
| saunter down the hill to the village
hotel.
It was a quiet, neat frame building,

the quaint parlor, with Its ancient
square piano. The hotel keepers father
had kept the place before him, and
Rad was welcome to play the melodies
he caught by ear on Zed Warren's
mothers piano. One favor Zed asked
in return, that Rad would come when
sent for, to play for the young peo'
ple's entertainments.
It was usually in the early hours OF
the morning, before Warren's hotel
had opened for the business OF the
day, that Rad chose to pick out, unin-
terrupted, the songs that sang them
selves so sweetly through his brain.
Seated before the plano, with morn
ing glories nodding through the old
glass doors, Rad, in his mellow glory,
| was far removed from q sordid, critl-
cal world.
1t happened that on q dark night
at a late hour for the early-retiring
town, Lillian Lorimer, great prima
donna, was delayed there in her dis
abled car.

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.--If all the dia-
monds mined in history and existing
today as cut and polished gems were
gathered from the ends Of the earth,
they would form pile about as large
as wagon load Of coal dumped on
the sidewalk, says a Chicago statisti-
cal expert. The pile would contain
46,S55,474 csrnts and the gems
y,-'a !, 81 weigh 1O1s toas. If the pile
were in the form Of a cone. it woaa,.1,
have a base diamet.., Of eight feet
and height OF five feet. Reckoning
the diamonds at 1890 carat, (.
would have value Of si$, so8.a42,-

worth SIS, 5,5ss,o2a a gallon; or rs 1-s
bushels valued at ss1.57O,72e a bush
Ell All the worlds diamonds could
be be packed in an ordinary clothes
closet or d kitchen pantry.
|. This estimate is based. on an ap-
proclamation OF the total output of
rough diamonds in the worlds entire
history. india, it is estimated, has
produced. all told, 100000 car

For. B5 325 tons ayoifdupo,s
s Only about 90 percent of rough
diamonds are cut into gems and lose
about 60 percent of their weight in
being cut and polished Diamonds are
practically indestructible and the
first diamond ever mined may pos
sibly still be in existence. But the
estimate allows for the loss Of at

reductions and losses leave total of
cut and polished diamonds at 49,

The estimate Of $500 a carat Is
the minimum price at which diam
onds can be bought today. The popu-
lar demand for diamonds was never
SO great and they have become the

wealthy classes. They arp worth

| We are a nation of meat eat r,
and our blood is filed with uric
acid, says well-known authority
wEo warns us to be constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid
work; they get sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and thus the
waste is. retained in the blood and
poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and Ou have

you to seek relief during the night; /;
when you have severe headaches,
nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in
bad weather, get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoon in glass of water
before breakfast every morning and
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
endipg urinary and bladder dis
orders.
lad Salts is inexpensive and cam
not iniure; makes delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink and
can make a mistake by TAX
ing a little occasionally to keep the
kidneys clean and active.
