KeepLOOkingYOung

Nobody wants to grow old looking
any faster than they can help; some
look old at forty while others don't
begin to show their age at seventy
Everybody knows that to keep young
looking you have first got to be blessed
with good health, and second to do as
little worrying as possible. Most of
the ills that the flesh is heir to are
caused by a disordered stomach, liver
or kidneys. These can be regulated
and kept in good condition by taking
SEVEN BARKS, natures great rem.
cdy OF roots and herbs.
Digestive troubles also spoil beauty,
rob you of sleep, make dark rings
around the eyes and ruins the COM
plexion. Let SEVEN BARKS digest
your food and tone up your stomach,
then you may eat what you like;
bright eyes will soon return, and you
will feel fit for your daily duties.
Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
If you keep these organs cleansed and
in proper working order, old age can
be deferred and life prolonged beyond
the average age. No better remedy
can be found than SEVEN BARKS to
keep the stomach, liver and kidneys in
good order, thus assuring you good
health.
Old-fashioned natures remedies are
the best, so don't fail to keep a bottle
of SEVEN BARKS on hand. Get it
at your druggists. Price, 90 cents. -

the Philadelphia Record. Not long
ago we read that Devonshire house,
the famous rendezvous of the wings
In London, had fallen before the
cinema. The Alhambra and the EN-
pire, famous music halls, are to go,
too. England and the continent ap-
pear to be as wild for the screen as
we are here. All doors are opening

Vatican sanctioned the picturing OF

Colonel Pennngton's discovery at

had stolen his thunder and turned the
bolt upon him, was the hardest blow
Seth Pennington could remember hav-

old and experienced a campaigner,
however, to permit a futile rage to
cloud his reason; he prided himself
upon being a foeman worthy of any

On Tuesday he returned to Sequola.
Sexton related TO him in detail the
events which had transplred since his
departure, but ELECTED nothing more
than q noncommittal grunt.
"There Is one more matter, sir, which
will doubtless be of interest to you"
Sexton continued apologetically. miss
Sumner called me on the telephone
yesterday and instructed me formally
to notify the board of directors of the
Laguna Grande company Of special
meeting of the board, TO be held here
at two o'clock this afternoon. In view
of the impossibility of communicating
with you while you were en- route, I
conformed T. her wishes. Our bylaws,
as you know, stipulate that no meet

And he did. He waited not for

proceeded to direct operations like
the born driver and leader OF men
that he was. With his late employ
er's gear he fastened to the old cast
ings and the boiler, lifted them with
the derrick on the wrecking car, and
swung them up and around onto the

high-handed closing Of q public thor

To Sections annoyance and secret
apprehension, Bryce Cardigan and
Buck Ogilvy promptly appeared on the
scene both very cheerful and lavish
with expert advice as to the best
method Of eNpedlting the job in hand.
To Bryce's surprise Jules Rondeau ap-
peared TO take secret enjoyment Of
this good.natured chatting OF the La
guna Grande manager Occasionally
he eyed Bryce curiously but without
anlmus, and presently he flashed the
latter a lightning wink, as II to say:
"What fool Sexton is to oppose

''He has the crossing blocked, and

order-well, II one wants a thing well

"All that doesn't explain your

CHAPTER XVII.

Events followed each other with re-
freshing rapldity. While the crew of
the big locomotive on the crossing
busted themselves getting up steam,
Sexton and Jules Rondeau tolled at
the loading of the discarded boiler and
heavy castings aboard two fiat cars.
BY utilizing the steel derrick on the
company's wrecking car this task was
completed by noon, and after luncheon
the mogul backed up the main line
past the switch into the Laguna
Grande yards; whereupon the switch
engine kicked the two Rat cars and the
wrecking car out OF the yard and down
to the crossing, where the Instructions
were promptly unloaded. The police
watched the operation with alert inter.
