 "Warrie, there's a house of some thing ahead. Cad, where's the rest of the outfit, and why haven't we our rifes?"
 With her heart beating as though it would burst In her breast Fay ad- vanccd and tucked her arm beneath her brothers.
 He had stood motionless since she first touched him, but his whole body tremblcd like a race horse, low harsh cry broke from him.
 "Fay! l thought I was in France! Fay--Fay, you're real aren't you? Where's Warrie? I was wNh him just now. What does it all mean?"
 "You'vc had dream, Wilbur; that's all" She laughed, but there was catch in her voice.
 "Why is the house so dark? Where is Laurel?"
 Her heart contracted at the men ton of that name, but she forced a note of impatience in her tone.
 Captain Warren is in the library talking to Aunt Clara, and L-Laure is reSting. For goodness sake don't

I must ask you to tell me the name of that man."
 Really, sergeant?" She raised her eyebrows. Since l very definitely refused the gentleman l should not care to mention his name. Captain Warren says that you saw it all. 1sn it wonderful to have my brother back from the dead like this even if he is so broken and ill. Even with the tragedy of my poor little cousins death still hanging over me, l can not help but reioice!"
 You have been blessed, Miss Tu- dor" Barry replied gravely.
 "Imagine him as l saw him at the library window that night, hungry and ragged and ill. And out in al that terrible storm last night witf nowhere to lay his head-why, ever poor Laurel couldn't stand it, beating in upon her near the windows, and had to change beds with her.
 "You-what?" Barry half rose from his chair.

 She led him to the side door and into the library.
 Captain Warren was seated at the desk, apparently writing, with his crutches carefully concealed, and Mrs. Tudor held book which shook in her hands, but she glanced us cas- ualy as they entered and remarked
 Be sure you get out of those wef things at once, Wilbur"
 Her eyes fell again to her book, and Fay guided her brother up to his room.
 Out upon the porch, whither he had followed them since, all unno- ticed, he had witnessed the scene at the case, Sergeant Barry caught the captains eye and beckoned. When the latter joined him he said
 "Go up to him. Explain that you arrived this evening during his walk, and act as if he knew all about your having been wounded Talk so that he has no time to think and get him to bed as quickly as you can. You've sent for the doctor of course?'
 How the devil do you know all this, sergeant" Captain Warren gazed at the detective in genuine astonishment.
 "Oh, I was there all the time in case you needed a hand. l saw the look upon your face when you heard Franks description of the half burned top of a pajama coat which could only have come from an army officers hospital, and, although ! don't think you guessed the truth, l meant to circle back and keep you in sight. But will you go up now and ask Miss Tudor to come down to me as soon as she has made her self warm and comfortable? l am sorry to disturb her after all that she has gone through, and at such an hour, but there is one question l must ask her before I leave tonight When Fay came to him, enveloped in dark cloak, he led her toward the breakfast room.
 There is a little porch our here where we make talk for a few min utes even if it is bit damp and" She interrupted him suddenly.
 "Oh, not there." She laughed ner- vousy. You eee, sergeant, man proposed to me there last night and IT don't want to be reminded of it'

KEEP URIC ACID
 OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and Take Salts.


 Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author ity. We are advised to dress warmly: keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat. but drink plenty Of good water.
 Rheumatism Is a direct result Of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acids which is absorbed into the blood, It is the function of the kidneys to filter thos acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skins are also means of freeing the blood Of this irnpurty. In damp, and chilly cold weather the skin pores arc closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through tho system, event ualy settling in tNe joints and mus cles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism, get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon, ful in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for q week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys tt normal action thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithit and is used with excellent results b! thousands of folks who are subject tt rheumatism.

intuition resulted in discovery OF
the theft; domains indomitable
courage resulted In the recovery of
the suit, and again woman's intui-
ton made possible the capture Of
the alleged thief.
The Jail delivery occurred at
1910 o'clock last night Reinars,
taking advantage Of the fact that
officer Mic Hettinger was alone in
the office and with the door OF
the cellroom closed. removed bolt
from his cell door and stepped in
to the corridor. 1t was a bold

after him, not even stopping to get
his revolver The chase did not
last long, however, for the Mexican
was recaptured 40 Twelfth street,
less than two blocks from the sta
ton. He was brought back and
locked up again. The bolt on the

Mexican without any kind of tool.

would require almost superhuman
strength.
