In this way they maintain the normal conl- position of the blood and body fluids 1f one kidney has to be removed for any reason, the remaining one gallantly enlarges and does the work of the two.
 You can see from this description that we should treat the kidneys with profound respect. They are patient and long suffering but if we permit our blood to get loaded with too much waste material or poIsons or any kind eventually they suffer and can not carry on.
 If it should happen that they suffer from overwork or acute Or chronic poisoning, and cannot perform their functions satisfactorily some of the material that the blood actually needs will escape and many of the waste products which should be filtered out cannot be filtered and are retained by the blood. This causes all sorts of Arrangements, not only to the kidneys themselves but to all of the other organs.
 The kidney cells can be injured by bacterial poisons and the bacteria. themselves, which get into the blood from infected spots anywhere in the body such as infected tonsils and teeth, nose sinuses and other portions of the body, and from the acute infec- tious diseases such as scarlet fever, pneumonia, diphtheria, etc.
 The kidneys can also be injured by poisons such as lead and arsenic. al- cohol and other drugs. There is no doubt but that they can be slowly but surely injured by having to over work on blood which is loaded with waste products from excess food.
 Os1er says that a large proportion of the arterio- sclerosis. Gardening and degeneration of the arteries is due to intemperance in eating. Tha blood vessels of the kidneys are af- fected in this condition. Therefore you can see that there are many forms of injuries of the kidneys which we can directly control.

KIDNEYS-No, II,

Yeserday I gave you something about the anatomy of the kidneys. Today I want to tell you something of their intimate structure.
 It would require the descriptive powers of Scott or a Dumas to do them justice, for they really are the most beautiful organs in the body. Long lanes of uniferous tQbules lined with sparkling epithelium cells are closely accompanied by a trellis work of blood vessels and nerves reaching over and under them. Suddenly the straight lanes are changed to many beautiful curves and finally, they end by dividing into two closed ends sur rounding and closely embracing a rich grove of tiny blood vessels.
 The kidneys are undoubtedly the most exQuisitely constructed organs in the body. Besides being so beauti- full, they are the most industrious or gans in the body. A combination O. beauty and integrity that is wonder full.
 The more one studies and knows or the kidneys the more respect one has for them. Nature has placed them very close to the main blood vessels of the body. and has given them a larger artery and vein in proportion to their size than any other organ, because she wants to form a short shunt to convey to them their work ing material the blood.
 All of the blood of the body has to pass through the kidney factories every few minutes. There is no or gan that works so necessarily as the kidneys do. The heart has little rest between beats and the secretory organs rest some until their secre- tions are needed. but the little kidney keeps on their job every minute. They are always busy.
 Their work consists of Altering all of the blood and taking out the waste products with which it is more or less loaded. The cells lining the tub ules show au uncanny intelligence. In one portion they permit the f1ltera- tion through them of the excess water and the waste products, ana m another portion the cells reabsorb any of the products of the blood wn1cn have passed through but are stfll needed by the blood.
 It is just as if some of the cells were sort of overseers that closely

CHAPTER III. Cairns Looks for Clues.

 There is one at the Emmons-, nearly two miles away"
 Just as he died" said Cairns in explanation, ''he gave vent ro an ejaculations. It sounded like 'barns'.'- '-
 The girl shook her head.
 T don't know what he could have meant she said.
 Did you mail those letters MT. Forsythe wrote that morn1ng?" he asked. And have you got the in coming mail?''
 They are all here.' said the girl. Cairns looked through them, segru- gating the request for the autograph and its answer Sn the self-addressed envelope.
 T should have liked to see the en- velope of this request for the auto graph" said Cairns.
 "But see the request comes from St. Louis. This self-addressed en- 've1ope is from a district in St. Louis that does not strike me as one likely to contain an enthusiast over orchids, or even a collector of autographs. It is very close to the negro quarter. I'll mail the autograph to this MT. Paxton in a fresh wrapper, since his own has been spoiled. and I'll keep the letter.
 Cairns was forced to admit that, if Forsythe had been murdered. the criminal had left no more trace than a ghost might have done.
 Unless the St. Louis clue turned out a real one. Forsythe had said that he had had searching inquiries made in that city without result. But all the threats, and the request for an auograph that arrived the same day as the final warning. came from the same city.

Actress Seeking
 Her Lost Parents

Kansas City Mo, Oct. 10.-In an attempt to unraveI the mystery which surrounds her birth and parentagA Mrs. Franklin H. Cobb, of Oak Park, III, and formerly of Kansas City. has appealed to several of her friends here to assist her. Sha is a, retired actress and the third wife of a former Kansas City artist.
 A sealed letter and an engraved ring are clues by which Mrs. Cobb hopes to find her parents. She is 20 years old.
 Only recently she instituted the search after receiving from a girl friend in Kansas this message:
 "A sealed letter was delivered to your foster natheR when you were adopted by her at the age of Is months. You were to have received that letter on your 18th birthday"
 The young woman believes that if she can locate her two sets of foster parents they will give her informa- tion relative to her real parentage.
 In letters written to her friends Mrs. Cobb stated she was adopted by James A. Payton and wife, of Paw nee Rock. Kan, when she was about wore a ring at that time on which was engraved:
 Pauline G. Lambert. 1901.'
 Payton was proprietor of string of hotels in Kansas. He died when the adopted girl was eight years old.t Mrs Payton married again, and her presen. whereaoouts are unknown.
 She was adopted for the second time by Mir. and Mrs. J. NJ. Wyatt After living with them for some time Mrs. Cobb left to take up a stage ca reer, taking the name Of Patricia Lam bert.''
 The wyatts moved from Kansas City four years ago.

CHAPTER W.
 

In St. Louis, Cairns found that he had not been mistaken about the ed- dress on the envelope containing For sythe'S autograph. For an orchid lover, for an autograph collector, Mr. Paxton surely seemed to have chosen @ queer neighborhood. It was not merely near the negro quarter, 1t was practically a part of it. There was saloon on one corner, a drug store on the other.
 In the middle of this street he found his number. On the lower floor a aaring, illiterate announce ment in the window gave forth that

An drew Cairns is given charge or the case and on the appointed day has a guard at F'orsythe's house. Cairns himself remains at Forsythe's side but the re- cIuse dies. The coroner attributes the death to natural causes, but Cairns is convinced it is murder. So he obtains permission from Miss Carroll, F'orsythe's sole heir, to investigate. He questions Miss Carroll, but she knows little of the dead mans business. He asks her: s'You never saw any of the threatening letters?" ''No, nor actually heard of them until quite recently. But l could see he was Vyorried.'

 Cairns had passed rapidly down the street. realizing that a visit such as he wanted to make could not be ac- complished with much hope of result in his present appearance. He re- turned to his hotel after making a few purchases, and two hours later, D long raincoat covering most of his attire took a taxfcab to a corner two blocks away from where Quando wove her web, and gave the driver orders to remain there.
 His raincoat he left inside the cab, and slouched along toward his desti- 5atiOn, dressed in a cheap, second hand slops that gave him an appear ance of being the possible possessor of limited means. His face accom- plished the rest.
 Quando was seated in a room that opened directly On the street.
 She was @ mammoth, a rounded mound of flesh. pyra miding from her ponderous hips to the yellow turban wound about her gray wool. From the multitudinous creases of her face keen eyes looked out, small but pierc- ing.
 Cairns produced a slim roll of crumped bills that Quando appraised swiftly. He peeled off a two-doIlar bill. and put it beside g. grinning skull that formed the center orn1- ment of the table.
