DAVIS was removed from office
toward the end of the Harding Ad-
ministration. His resignation was
termed by his hackers, among them
the leading engineering societies of
America, as summary ousting, and
violation Of the rules of the Civil
Service Commission. The Secretary
OF the Interior took the position that
what was needed in the administra-
tive chair of the service was a bust
ness man. The service is now divided
into two parts, the functions of
technical work and administration
being separate!
Davis was director from 1914 to
1928. He is declared to be one of the
most skilled technical men of the
country, and is a past president Of
the American Society of Civil En-.

One never grows too old to forget
the delights of eating. And yet old
people will sometimes play on these
memories and bring on dyspeptic
attacks even though the diet be
simple. Every family should be sup
piled with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. From childhood to old age
they daily overcome or prevent the
distresses due to indigestion. They
sweeten the stomach by giving 1t
the alakline effect as in health, they
absorb the gases. they lift off the
feeling of heaviness, they stop sour
risings or heartburn, they actually
assist in the, digestion of food, and
from all points of view are one of
the most invaluable aids to health
to be found. So, no matter what
YOU eat, if your stomach rebels,
always remember that a 60-cent
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will keep your stomach sweet and
thus aid to prevent much Of the
distress that comes late in life.

rooted entirely with large, handmade

mors first came, caused heavy casual

brought about q complete collapse of
many houses which might otherwise
have resisted the earthquake shocks.

Somehow the whole scene seemed un-
real. 1t was so exactly what one ex-
pected that II gave the effect Of being
beautifully staged.
The girl looked from one to the
other OF them with large wondering
eyes. Sir James spoke first.
Miss Finn" he said, this Is your
cousin, Mr.. julius p. Hersheimmer."
A faint flush fitted over the girls
face, as julius stepped forward and
took her hand.
How do, Cousin Jane?" he said
lightly.
But Tommy caught the tremor in
his voice.
Are you really Uncle Hiram's SOM"
she asked wonderingiy.
Her voice seemed vaguely familiar
to Tommy, but he thrust the impress
sion aside as impossible.
Sure thing"
A shadow passed over the girls face.
They've been telling me things
dreadful things-that my memory
went, and that there are years / shall
never know about-years lost out Of
my life. Il seems to me as though IL
were no time since we were being

Don't worry any. 1t isn't worth Il.
Now, see here, Jane, there's something
we want to know about. There was q
man aboard hat boat with some
| mighty important papers on him, and
| the big guns In this country have got
a notion that he passed on the goods to
you. Is that so?"
The girl hesitated, her glance shift
ing to the other two. Julius under
stood.
"Mr. Beresford Is commissioned by
| the British government to get those
| papers back. Sir James Peel Edger-

the mysterious, the elusive Jane Finn
How wildly improbable success had
seemed! And here in this house, her
memory almost m~iraculously restores,
lay the girl who held the future or
England in her hands. A half groan
broke from Tommy's lips. If only
Tuppence could have been az his side
to share in the triumphant conclusion
of their joint ventures! Then he put
the thought Of Tuppence resolutely
aside. His confidence In Sir James
was growing. There was a man who
would unerringly ferret out Tuppence's
whereabouts. In the meantime Jane

Sir James arrived punctually at

him warmly.
Immediately the first greetings were

eager questions. How had Sir James
managed to track the girl? Why had
he not let them know that he was still
working on the case? And SO on.
Sir James stroked his chin and
smiled. At last he said:
"Just SO, Just SO. Well. she's
found. And that's the great thing,
isn't It? Eth! Come now, that's the
great thing?"
"Sure 1t Is. But just how did you

"But where is sheT demanded
julius, his thoughts flying of on
another tack. II thought you'd be
sure to bring her alongY"
"That would hardly be possible"
said Sir James gravely.
"Why?"
Because the young lady was
knocked down In q street accident, and
has sustained slight injuries to the
head. She was taken to the lnfirmary,
and on recovering consciousness gave
her name as Jane Finn"
J "She's not seriously hurt?'
"Oh, a bruise and a cut or two. Her
state Is probably to be attributed to
the mental shock consequent on recov.

be drawn.
