Lee Chow produced a thick manila envelope and laid 1t down upon the tree trunk.
 Put pieces on this" he directed, and did so, fitting the torn edges together My pulses accelerated as l saw that my name and address were written on the card in the fashion made so familiar to me by Huge Grantland's faithful adherence 10 his self-imposed schedule of mailing cards to me.
 Something else was on the card, also - word followed by the ini- tials N. r., which ha dbeen so slashed across by an ink dipped pen that l could discern but a few let ters of it It was pitifully clear what had happened. Hugh Grantland Cad written his usual postal card to me, giving me his next change of ad- dress. Then for some reason he had decided not to send 1t and had torn 1t up, after destroying, as he thought, the address he had put down upon the card.
 With fingers that trembled I took up the fragments of card which contained the ink-crossed name and scanned it closely. There had come to me suddenly and insistently the conviction that If I could decipher that name l would hold in my hands some clew, however faint. 10 the fate of Hugh Grantland, whose wild, weird letter to me, as we'll as his mysterious disappearance. point ed to his being involved in some tragedy.
 May I have these, Lee Chow" I asked.
 He bowed low.
 T bring them for you" he said. Maybe you know something from them after while about big boss man. You look, find out, then you tell Lee Chow"
 T surely will tell you everything l can find out, Lee Chow" I said earnestly. "Is there anything more you wish to tell me-"
 "Lee Chow Wait Now"
 "No more." he replied. Lee Chow wait now for you; good bye"
 He stepped back and made low obeisance and clutching the envel- ope with its precious fragments in my hands I hurried back to the Durkee house, bent upon getting hold of a powerful reading glass which l knew Alfred owned, in the hope that I might decipher the name of the town which Hugh Grantland had written.
 First making sure that Mother Graham still slept, I made my way to the library where l knew the glass was kept. As I opened the door l saw Alfred himself seated at the table, his head in his hands, his whole attitude expressive of the deepest despondency. a

IF RHEUMATIC
 EAT NO SWEETS
says Glass of Salts Helps. 10 Over
 come Rheumatism Acid.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid ex- posture, and above all, drink plenty Of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind.
 Rheumatism is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fermentation. It is the function Of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do dou. be work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this waste and acids, which keeps ac. cumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling In the joints and muscles, causing stiffness soreness and pain, called rheuma tim.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism ;et from any pharmacy about fouI ounces of lad Salts: put a table ipoonful in glass of water anc lrtnk before breakfast each morning for week. This Is helpful to neu tralize acidity, remove waste matter also to stimulate the kidneys. thu often rid blood of rheumatic poison
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and t made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthia and is used with excellent results bS thousands of folks who are subjec, 10 rheumatism.

So frightened was Mrs. Mann of Anytown when one of her young sters cut hand with pairing knife, that she decided to read all she could find about stopping the flow of blood.
 Blood from arteries is a bright red, and 1t comes in spurts. she learned. No effort should be spared to check the flow quickly.
 If the wound is on the arm or leg this can usually be done with an application of bandage be- tween the wound and the heart.

It 1t had not been for the nice old magical hobby horse, the Rag gedys would probably have been captured by the two mean old witches, for Hazel Hagg and Heezy the witch had changed themselves from Hippity Kinks back into witches again and had followed the Raggedys to the home of the nice little old lady
 But, the two witches had hardly started to tiptoe up on the front porch of the little old lady's house when the hobby horse spied them and it only took him two or three lifts of his wooden heels to send the witches bowling away through the bushes.
 Then the Raggedys and the little i'd lady and kind NIT. Fixus were eft in peace to drink the sodas the title old lady fixed for them.
 Hazel Hagg has bothered me yer since she heard that I had the ice magical soda water fountain" he little old lady told Raggedy Ann, Isn't it funny how there are some )lks in the world who think they ave right to take things away om other people?'
 Indeed it is strange" Raggedy m replied, But those who take Iings which do not belong to them re sure sooner or later to get into 'ouble and if they begin when they re small and take things, then hen they grow up, they get worse ld worse until finally the police rn have 10 come and take them jl lock them up in prison!

 This was quite true. The Witches lding the doors locked had taken

 Despite the vaunted impassive- ness of all Chinese, there was a distinctly mournful cadence in Lee Chow's voice as he uttered the wopds, and I never see big boss man again." which betrayed how deep and sincere was his affection for Hugh Grantland whom he had served so long and so faithfully.
 Infinitely saddened by his story, which had served to deepen my own conviction that Hugh Grant land was indeed lost to lie, l could find no words to answer the faith ful Chinese servant, who stood mo. tionless before me, evidently waiting for some comment or query from me upon the disclosures he had made.

 A small amount of carbolic acid should be placed in the water, one teaspoon 10 the pint, or add two or three teaspoons of table salt.
 When the flesh Is torn the parts should be replaced as nearly as pos sible before the edges are brought together.

 Leslie and he, however, are not friends as you and l arS, and upon friendship marriage rests upon more solid ground than upon love.
 wonder if you ever realize how near to hate is love. I thought I loved Harry Ellington. I guess l did. am sure that this won't hurt you now because I got all over lov- ing him and hated him most ef- Actively long before he left me, and l never in all that time was friends with him. We had nothing in con- mon that made for friendship. One asks for so much more from a friend than one asks from ones lover. One must be so much more to be a friend than one must be to me a lover. For one is never blinded by any emotional xpheavals.
 You and I, my dear, thank God, are friends. If we hadn't been ] could never have written you this letter.
 Some time in the future, perhaps, Jack and Leslie may be friends, all though I am afraid they never will be. Leslie has all the qualities of a friend, but Jack has none of them.
 I think Sally Atherton sees this. know that she acknowledges his fascination, and between you and me, I think she fights against t, be- ing a decent woman and fond Of Leslie.
 You see, it is an awful mixup - the whole thing. I wish it had come to a head before MT. Hamilton died. Then Leslie would have only had herself and her own happiness to think of. The worst of it all is my dear, that John Alden Pres colt Is not d bad man as men gt He is just tcmperamentai and sell ish. l don't think he would knoc Leslie down. l don't think that h would go out of his way to be UT kind to her in any way. In fact in things which he does which seem t Leslie unkindcst are only thing that are thoughtless on his part and he would be much surprised he were told that she had beo hurt by them.
 You see, he never recognizes q fact that she has a right 10 be hur he only insists that what he do hurts her because she is unreaso ably sensitive.
