1 She heard some one coming and starting up, she saw cousin Agnes | housekeeper. Mrs. Vain, usually so ! calm, so completely in control of her self, advanced under a nervous ten sion which visibly shook her slight body. Her words confessed she had l been listening.
 What was he saying to you of Mrs. Oliver Cullen?" she besought, her hands trembling on Ethels l shoulder. What was he telling to you? Oh, you must tell me; he said Mrs. Cullen"
 Nothing about her now!" Ethel cried. T mean. he was talking about her long ago. But-but," sud- denly she collapsed in the house. keepers arms. Pm going away; home to Wyoming, Mrs. Vain. You must help me off. And if Mir. Lou trelle calls for me or telephones, cannot speak to him! can't see him! Perhaps I can write. I must never meet him again.
 CHAPTER XVI.
 Early that afternoon,- Lucas de- pendaAle operative reported that he had Allowed Ethel Carew to the Union station where she purchased a ticket and boarded train for Sheri- dan, Wyoming. She had been un- attended and plainly under the stress of strong emotion.
 What Ethel had told Barney was brief and simple in its final state ment.
 Dear Barney:
 T have found that I must leave at once for my home Some time

 Where you are and how you arc and what you are doing remain witt me the most important things in m! | life; so you must let me know al about yourself. My address will bt Sheridan, Wyoming.
 ETHEL" It was several days later that Mrs Vain. the housekeeper. phoned a re. quest for him to call.
 T speak to you, sir" Mrs. Wair said breathlessly, after she had sunk into the seat upon my own respon- sibility, sir, entirely. So I must ask you, before l say another word, tc give me your word as gentleman that you will make no use of what shall tell-unless I allow you"
 Barney felt his pulses pounding again. What is it?" he demanded
 You will meet me, sir-when you're sure you're not followed?"
 "Where?"
 "At the corner of Tenth and Wa bash.
 Barney went immediately down. town He had to wait on the corner only a few minutes before Mrs. Vain drove up in taxi and invited him in.
 St. Luke's hospital" she said to the driver; and when the door was closed, she vouchsafed to Barney. She's had another operation; it was performed the day before yesterday. She rallied at first but sank later"
 Still the housekeeper gave no inti- nation of who "she" was; and Bar ney was aware that direct inquiry would be vain
 Barney did not know her; when the nurse, who had been beside the bed, moved away, and Mrs. Vain held back and Barney advanced alone, he was not conscious of ever having seen the woman who lay on her side with her profile plain against the pillow. Yet fluttering of awe of more than awe-came over hlm as he halted beside the bed.
 Her face. as she lay turned toward him, was beautiful, though illness and intense suffering she had surely endured. Her skin was clear and lovely even in it's deathly pallor; her

 Who was his father then?" he demanded of his granddaughter, half shaking her. Do you know? Then tell me. l don't know, of course: pa ternity's not like maternity; but his mother Do you know who she was? Agnes here!" Suddenly he dropped Ethel and gestured horribly with both hands. Your father and your fathers friend--Agnes!
 "Oh! Oh! God!" Ethel cried.
 Her grandfather said not another word; he stood for only a moment more. looking at her: then. satisfied, he pulled on his hat and stalked to the door.
 In the whirl of her emotions, she was endeavoring to fasten thought upon Barney only as cousin Agnes son, but against her will, and revolt ing her. thought sof her father would come in.t
 Oh, last night he had taken her as a lover, Agnes son and-her fathers? She was here in Agnes house-Agnes who might have been might have been-

THE HORRORS 0F
 INDIGESTION
Relieved By ''FruIt-a-tlves"

Even now the indomitable soul of her-that essence of her spirit which persisted through conscious ness long was gone-was keeping up the fight, Barney felt. And he wanted her to win; oh, how he wanted her to win.
 It seemed to him he had never wished so for another's life: and why? Because, for the first time, he was beside someone who belonged to him by blood? Because she was his mother?

Robinson, treasurer of the Jewett City savings bank, thought he would go and take his family for a fine chicken supper. Long after dark he went out to his garage, didn't stop to turn on the lights, step ped in and backed out his machine. His family came out and after all were comfortably seated MT. Robinson drove down Main street to G. Curtis Hulrs house to take him along. While stopped there Frank Wilcox came out from the other side of the road, his head light threw a broad beam around as he II,aue the turn. When Mfr Robinson's car was brought into the bright reflection Mir. Wilcox made cut something huddled up on the running board of the other machine. He stopped, and asked MT.

more than half century, there was
ten times as much drunkenness on the
average New Year before prohibition
went into effect as there was on Jan.
I, 1922, and in most places hundred
times as much. But while there was
much greater amount of drunken
ness, there was no following sickness,
except of course the inevitable hang
over, let alone death. But the results
of the last New Years spree are pos
tive proof that the stock of genuine
; liquor is down to the dregs, and all
kinds of poisonous coneoctions are
being made to satisfy desperate or
foolish drinkers. There is no use
arguing and bootleg
gers, and chemists, can't supply the
demand that was filled by the legiti-
mate business of distilleries, brewer
les and saloons. And poisonous hq-
uor, steadily killing off the fools that
drink it, will kill itself. That old
gag, Prohibition won't prohibit" is
the last wall of dying abomination.
