 A faint sound like distant moaning came to their ears aud the captain flashed his light about till h" found the switch in the wall and the hall bla zed with brilliance.
 While he paused to issue orders Mike and Trevor lcapnd up the stair oasc and then paused for moment as though turned to stone, for at the foot of tho second flight Of stairs leading upward there lay the body of woman.

 There was an interval while the police surgeon examined the woman. administered restorative to her and saw that she was made easier with cushions from the sitting room. To Mikes mute inquiry he replied with slow but decisive shake Of his head.

ON HEADS UP, EVERYBODY

It was the custom Of Mir. Mann Of Anytown to walk along with his eyes fastened upon the street, his head and neck bent in meditation.
 One day he accidentally came upon his physical director.
 What do you think the sky is for?" asked the r. n.
 Don't he silly" said Mr. Mann ''1'm not. You think it's a place for the stars to live in and rain to come from. Well, 1t IS. But you'd be better off if eou took 10 sky gazing once in a while. So would ether reo- ple.

Letter from John Alden Prescott
 Leslie Prescott.

Letter from John Alden Prescott to
 Leslie Prescott.
 Well, dear, we got Syd over 10 his apartments yesterday, and last night I read him what that man told you about the coral god he sent you.
 Syd told me that the Chinaman tried to tell him a long story when he bought it, explaining something of which he could not make head or tail. He told me 10 tell you that hs hoped that he had not started you on the sill hunt for some impossible ideal masculine member of human ity. and told him, dear, that you had already found an impossible masculine member Of humanity. At that he said he guessed everything was all right.
 [ was somewhat disappointed. dear heart, over your letter. missed something from it. I wonder if if was because I am a little sensitive these days. that l am always looking for what is behind your words. Someway I felt some Of the sincere spontaneity of you, some Of the real ness of you, was not in that letter. Darling. haveI lost something by telling you that story? If ] have, ] shall wish liaH never told it.
 You see am selfish. dear. ! want 10 keep your love now I know you're smiling that dear. intriguing. iHscrUtable smile Of yours. tha. smile into which read all my moods. Just nov I am reading into 1t: Jack. you want 10 eat your cake {, and have f tool"

Some man told me the other day that a husband should never bc frank with his wife; if he wanted to live happily he should never tell her the truth. IT by telling you inc truth, dear, haven't gained moro of your trust than I had before. If indeed 1 have lost some Of if, l shall never be happy again.
 You have made me very happy, Leslie-T don't know why put that in the past tense. You are making me very happy. It's only I. myself my own soul qusstioaings. my own unworthiness-that makes me un- happy.
 I'm sitting here al table in the room where Syd is lying. and I'm wondering just what he would say if he could read this letter. For of course you have learned before this. Leslie dear.e that Sydney Carton is a much stronger man than I. I can't conceive of him writing a letter to anyone like this one I am writing to yon. and probably you can't con- ceive of him doing a thing that would. in time. make such letter necessary 10 his peace Of wind.
 I'm never going 10 mention sll this again. Leslie. I'm going to try and put it away in that place that y0u have called "my fcrgettery." I'm coming home to you within week. and Immediately you and are going to set sail for that beau .ifBi beFinning-again.

The Belview Synod Y. p. s. held
business meeting at the parsonage
last Monday evening. The Society
adopted a constitution, made applica-
ton to affiliate with the Walther
League, elected delegates to attend
the July convention, and dispatched
such other business as came before
the society. Miss Stella Sampson and
Miss Aagot Omtvedt were elected de-
legates to represent the society at the

18th to 18th. Three other members
Of the society have already decided
to go to this rousing convention, and
we hope that others will join these
five to help swell the attendance that

Make Work Easier

Redwood Falls People Are Pleased to
Learn How 1t Has Been Done.
It's pretty hard to attend to duties
With a constantly aching back;
With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Pills have made work easier.
So thousands have gratefully testi-
fed.
They're for bad backs.
They're for weak kidneys.
Redwood Falls people gratefully re-
commend Doan's. Ask your neigh
Dor!
Mrs. J. Krieger, Washington and
Chestnut Sts., Redwood Falls, says:
"Overwork broke down my kidneys
and gave me backache. 1t was an
effort to bend my back because of the
cutting pains which started in the
small of it. Bearing down pains
across my kidneys made me tired and
worn out. Friends advised the use of
Doan's Pills and one box of this fine
remedy gave me relief. / was rid of
the steady pain in nay back and felt
better all over"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Pills-the same that Mrs.
Krieger had. Foster Milburn Co.,
