that there might be something in

that there might be something in Corrigan's notion after all.
 Pausing at the top of the steps be- fore retiring once more to his bed, he felt that the beady eyes of the blue monkey were watching him. Apparently 1t had decided to re- linquish all further effort 10 escape and crouched on the woodwork as far away from the metal staple as the length of chain would permit. It was undoubtedly magnificent creature. Its fur was long and of a silky texture, its paws were a jet black and it returned the assistants gaze Calmly-almost impudently. With an appreciable effort, Millett broke the spell which seemed to hold him, and turned to survey the coming up of the dawn.
 The air was chill. He turned up the collar of his jacket and, leaning on the rail, watched the bars of bright light appearing over the east ern horizon The rubber trees, ma ture and regularly planted, emerged from the gloom of the departing night like a phantom regiment. Far beyond the fringe of virgin jungle at i the foot of the slope, the padi-lands 1 lay wrapped in blIlowy mist. There was a tremulous whispering In the i air. From under the house shril- voiced cook threw out its challenge 10 the dawn. Gradually, as the luminous streaks In the heavens ex- tended, the misty pail stirred in the valleys, dispersing presently to re- veal an emerald carpet of growing padi-and through the trees to the westward he saw leaden sea, a ! cluster of native hutments raised high on long, ridicuously slender poles like antediluvian monsters paddling in the shadows.
 The third assistant stretched him self and smiled, It felt good 10 be astir when the world was awaking.
 And then he stopped stick-stiH/ his arms extended. The evil eyes of the blue monkey seemed 10 burn
 into the back Of his head like coals
 of fire,
 He shook himself defiantly cursed
 himself for an imaginative idiot, aud
 Strode resolutely into his avn room
 10 dress himself for the work of the
 day that had just dawned.

ksIIogg's Bran delights father
 by bringing health 10 children

Poor little kids--thcy needed braI badly. But they wouldn't eat ordi nary brans. They didn't like them Most folks don't. Then their father tried Kellogg's Bran, cooked and krumbled. What a differencel Il, tells the story in his letter;
 Dear sirsi
 l wish to express my appreciation of your krumbled bran. which l have used for my children this summer. We had . great deal of trouble with them through constipation. and bran had been the most satisfactory rem- edy but they could not be induced to take the old varieties because they disllked them SO. They enjoy the krumbled bran and consider 1t an essential ingredient of their porridge. No one whose children have not been troubled in this way can appreciate tho relief there Is In having their bowels move regularly"

Kelloggs Bran is guarap. teed to bring permanent relief, If eaten regularly, in the most chronic cases. If 1t fails, your grocer will TO. turn your money.
 Eat two tablespoonfuk daily--in chronic eases, with every meal. Eat 1t with milk or cream. The flavor is delicious. Sprinkle 1t on other cereals. Cook it with hot cereals Try it in the recipes on every package. It will bring you health. Begin eating 1t today. Made in Battle Creek. Sold by all grocers,

Why Mother Graham Sent Madge
 10 See the Baby

At Edith's message, little Mrs Durkes revived as might a dry plant after a rainfall. She cast quick, shamefaco4 glance ot mo and l heroically rcfrained from saying T told you SO" and substituted a gay. oh but I'm J"alous" which brought quick comprehendng glance from Ediyh.
 "Grandmothors first, you know" she Said. "But Ill promise you a Ellmpsc of the baby d uttIo later. You1l have 10 wait 10 Ste Leila, however. The nurse is adamant."
 She should be- l returned smu- Ing. "But l varH you not to keen me waiting too long for the sight Of the new little nie--erand-daughtcr."
 don't think absorbed little Mrs. purkee caught ,he slurred word niece" which ' SO nearly uttered, but Edith's quicker perceptions recognized the slip and from be- hind the hurrying little womau's sack she flashed mo a merry smiLe and a comradely wink such as l rarely had received from her.
 I returned the wink and the smile with daze1 uttle feeling that the Kirl who had thus saluted me could not be the melancholy being whom A few hours before I inadvertently had heard Leila reproach for her romantic feeling concerning my hus- band.
 I knew Of course that her relief and joy over her sister had sent her mental thermometer soaring, and that she probably would regret her exuberance of manner toward me when she brought her spirits down 10 earth again. But there was only one course for me, I must watch her cues and return them In exactly the same spirit as they were given.
 I returned to my mother-ln-Iaw's room. finding her sitting bolt upright in bed, her eyes bright with excite ment.
 "Well. suppose ayerything's over" she said. T heard Mrs. Durkee's voice in the han just now, and started 10 get out of bed. but I felt dizzy and crept back in. What's the news"
