WHISPERING FOOTSTEPS
 BY CHARLES ALBERT HALLE
SYNOPSIS.

=
 7 Brixton Havens. young naughty and headstrong, is riding through the woods and nearly runs down MT. Morehard, @ new tenant o1 his mothers. Angry words pass between them, and young Ravens determines to put Morehard out of his house. So, in the evening" he goes to the Morehard place on Bluebrook. One reaching the gate, he sees a girl in the garden and his curiosity is aroused by her peculiar mechanical step and a little case that hangs from her shoulder. The girl sees him and walks toward him.
 Ravens left Morehard's place without carrying out his purpose. Next day he calls again and is invited into the house. Ina short time Ravens and Emma More hard are married. Then one day Havens meets a stranger. In the woods who so angered him that he hit the man across the face with his whip. Later that same day, he finds Morehard dying, shot down by an unknown per- son. All efforts to traCe the murderer are vain,
 Some time after Morehard'S death, Emma gives Havens paper which her father had given her and had told her would make her rich some day. He takes the paper and sees that pricked into its surface are tiny punctures which seem to have been made by the teeth of some metal instrument and the little perfora- tfonS are run into a figure.
 Emma then tells him of the pedograph that makes these per- forations. Ravens puzzles over the paper, the pedograph, More hard's other papers and dying words and finally hits upon wflat he conSidereS the solution. Fired with enthusiasm over the pros- pect, he sets out for Lizard Lake, Uvada. Near Sheridan City he picks up with Reedy Gibbs, a jackminer. At Rioville, in the Lion Palace he sees in a mirror the stranger whom he holds responsible for Morehard's death. He tries to find the man but fails. When he leaves Riovi1le Gibbs insists on accom- pany1ng him. Havens g1ares for a moment at the jack miner. 'We quit right here," he said. "You pick the road you want to go." Turning the head of the ponies to the right, he left the road and struck off across the rough country.''

THE ATOMIC ABDOMINAL
 WALL-NO. 2.

My article yesterday showed that even under certain forms of strenu- ous exercise there is the need Of special exercises for the abdominal muscles. If these coal miners need ed these special exercises how much more do you need them? Especial Iy do you need. them if you have borne children and have a relaxed ab- dominal wall from that, and especially do you need them if you are a man past 30 years.
 If you are a man, did you know that your waist measure should be smaller in proportion to your chest than a woman's? How many men do you see with a small waistline After full adult age. too many of US still continue to eat the same as we did when we were growing and needed the food for our growth and youthful activities. The result is that the excess food is stored away as fat tissues.
 So many disorders can arise from relaxed walls, because the abdominal walls have so much to do with holding the internal organs in place. that am going to give you some special exercises for these muscles with il- lustrations.
 All girls-prospective mothers should do exercises to keep the ab- dominal muscles firm and in good condition. A large part of the pain of childbi can be avoided by hav- ing good muscular power in the ab- dominal muscles.
 If you will do these exercises l give you, they will not only strength en your abdominal muscles and pre-

A DOGS JUDGMENT

IN Toby's eyes. so deep and brown.
see myself enshrined.
He cares not II my hat and gown
Be made IN country or in town,
I'm perfect 10 his mind
What though / gain unwished for pounds
And mourn the fact with sighsY
For worry Toby sees no grounds.
And should I grow by leaps and bounds
I'm perfect IN his eyes
To him. the flaws that humans trace.
Are graces wondrous fine.
And n he can but ind a place,
where turning. he may see my face.
The world is his and mine.
Gray hair and wrinkles pass him By.
With him time plays no part,
Youth is eternal 10 his eye.
Nor will that homage ever die
I'm perfect I'm his heart
You who are old and plain and worn.
To whom the world seems cold.
Go get a dog and be reborn.
He'll think you're like the rosy morn
Such solace is pure gold.

the nearest American shores. The
Grace & Ruby was taken in tow by
the cutter Tampa some distance off
