Disturbing Kiss
SOMETHING SERIOUS"


Not in bed yet. Miss Natalie?"
 The discreet Smithson gave a lit-
 tie cough. He was the soul of con-
 ventionality, and he thought 1t in appropriate that his masters niece
 should sit up to all hours in the library awaiting the return of said
 masters private secretary. Maurice Danby. The young lady blushed. Indeed, she looked remarkably uncomfort- able. Then her color ebbed away, and she flung furtive sort of glance about the room. "I-rve been asleep" she said. I'm all tired out" The butler crossed over to the windows, which were wide open to the night.
 "This isn't safe. Miss Natalie. if you'll excuse my saying so. There are lots of tramps and thieves about these days" He closed and bolted the windows with protesting chatter. Natalie glanced quickly toward the heavy curtains behind which Farrel Gait was hiding. How appalling it would be If Smithson were to discover the in- truder, She was literally on the qui vive to have the butler go. But Smithson evidently did not plan retirement until his masters niece had definitely departed to her own room for the night. You're losing your beauty sleep. if might say 90, miss." He coughed apologetically. T-I'm 70 worried about-Aboue uncle- sha began

'Mr. Ducane is getting better every hour of the day was the soothing answer. You've no call to take on now, Miss Natalie. if you'll excuse my saying so."
 Smithson held the library door open for her to withdraw.
 There was nothing for her but to take the hint, for Smithson was strong willed, and had known and loved the girl since she was bahy. As old and trusted family butler, hIs position in the household was a strong one.

 "Don't bolt the front door. please. Captain Danby is out, and will be returning soon"
 Very good, miss"
 Goodnight. Smithson."

 She went slowly up the stairs.
 What on earth was she to do? How best could Farrel Gait be smuggled out of the house?
 Would the butler find him? Did Smithson already suspect? Why had the old man looked so oddly at her
 But she couldn't so back to tho library now. She must trust to luck and Farrers common sense.

 Would he discover Farrel Gait! She sat up in bed, straining her ears for the sound of voices.

 Miss Johnson met her on her way to the breakfast room. "How's uncle? Passed good night I hone? inquired the young girl. Miss Johnson nodded. She admired and liked pretty Miss Natalie. | MT.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
And KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop
eating meat for a while if
your Bladder troubles you.

When you wake up with headache
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, SAYS a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment. channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable prysi-
clan at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then 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 clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to

ing. But they have regrets of the past
two games, that they aren't imparting
to every street corner acquaintance.
We've said our say. Now we're
making an addition of one more fan
to the waiting list. Results count
Just to recall to the minds of the
fans that Kansas conference coaches
aren't composed OF small school foot
ball players graduated-we're going to
comment on one coach, a man who
has coached two championship foot
pail teams in the last three years, and
was only prevented from taking the
third by an early season f1uke of de-
feat.
His name is Gwin Henry. He is the
College of Emporia mentor. Henry's
fame lies in a large measure on the
track, altho he made an env:abIe name
for himself in the south as football
player.
When Coach Henry was with the
New York A. G. in 1901, he literally
knocked 'em off, when athletic con-
tests on the track were called.
Henry holds the worlds record in
the 125-yard dash, having made it in
II 1-5; also the worlds record in the
12O-yard dash, with a time of II As.
Others have made the same time on
the latter distance, but never under.
He is national champion in the 100
yard dash, distance run more often
than any other. Henry stepped the
100 off in 9 As seconds in an A. C.
race in 1910. He holds another ma
tional record in the 220. The time was
, 4. made at New Orleans. The rec
ord in the 10O-yard dash was made
in 1906 by Bernie VOTERS of Columbia
university, also member of the New
York Americans.
On the indoor track Henry stepped
the 75-yard dash in 2-5.
We're mentioning the track accom-
plishments of this versatile gentleman.
because they are wonderful records.
| The College of Emporia should be
proud of a coach who can instil1 the
respect in his men that a holder of
! records like the above can produce.
