Emily was in great spirits.

She charged up the stairs, glad to
get to her basket, after busy evening.
John lighted his pipe, and began to
mediate. Usually he smoked the last
pipe of the day to the accompaniment
of thoughts about Pat, but now he
found his mind turning to this ex-
traordinary delusion of Hugo's that he
had caught DR.. Twist of Healthward
Ho, burgling the house.
John had never met DR.. Twist, but
he knew that he was the proprietor
Of a f1ourishing health-cure establish

table citizen; and the idea that he had
come all the way from Healthward Ho

him what was coming.

Mr.. Molloy had always been an elo-
quent man-without natural turn for
eloquence you cannot hope to traffic
successfully in the baSer varieties of oil
stocks, but never had he touched the
sublime heights of oratory to which he
scared now. Even the first few words
would have been enough to melt most
people. Nevertheless, when he paused
for breath, he knew that he had failed
to grip his audience.
"Sigsdy- five-thirty- five" said Chimp
firmly. You deed me, or you wouldn't
have brought me into this. If you could
have worked the job by yourself, you'd
never have tode me word about it."

Mr. Molloy wandered to the window
and looked hopelessly out over the gar

This incoherent tale satisfied him that
his cousin if not delirious, was certainly
on the borderland. He remembered the
whole eartedness with which Hugo
had drowned his sorrows only a short
while back in this very room, and he
was satisfied that what the other needed
was rest.

He knocked out his pipe and turned
to the stairs. Hugo thought his man
ner abrupt.
Sergt. Maj. Flannery, that able and
conscientious man, walked briskly up
the main staircase of Healthward Ho.
Outside the door off the second land
ing he stopped and knocked.
A loud SneeZe sounded from within.
"Cub!" called a voice.
Chimp Twist, propped up with pillows,
was sitting in bed, swathed in a wooden
dressing gown. His face was flushed
and he regarded his visitor from under
swollen eyelids with a moroSeness that
would have wounded more sensitive
man. Sergt. Maj Flannery stood
feet in his boots: he had a round
shiny face at which it was agony for
a sick man to look, and Chimp was
aware that, when he spoke, it would
be in a rolling, barrack-square below
that would go through him like red
hot bullet through butter. One has to
be in rude health and at the top of
ones form to bear up against the
Sergt. Maj Flannerys of this world.
"Well?" he muttered thickly.
He broke off to sniff at a steaming
jug beside his bed. and the sergeant
major, gazing down at him with the
offensive superiority of a robust man
in the presence of an invalid, fingered
his waxed mustache. The action in
tensif1ed Chimps dislike. From the
first, he had been jealous of that
mustache. Until it had come into his
life he had always thought highly
of his own fungoid growth, but one
look at this rival exhibit had taken
all the heart out of him. The thing
was long and blond and bushy, and
it shot heavenward into two glorious
needle-point ends, a shining zareba
of hair quite beyond the scope of any
mere civilian. Non-army men may
grow mustaches and wax them and
brood over them and be fond and proud
of them, but to obtain a waxed mus
tache in the deepest sense of the words
you have to be a sergeant major.

 Dr. RitChie said after a visit to the man that the apathetic and Respondent state which caused YaDr. Norton to leave his wife and daugh- ter in East Baldwin. where he was once county physician, had appar- cntly returned to the man. After he revealed his identity here the mans family came to see him and his con- dltlon improved.
 For nine years, it was learned to- day, Dr. Norton was employed first as chauffeur for Ms. Arabella .Clough of West Orange, x. J.. and later when his health failed as d caretakor on the Clough farm near Brewster.

Stomach Disorders First Revealed bv
 Coated Tongue

Your tongue is nothing more than the upper end of your stom- ach and intestines. It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at a glance the condition of your digestive system-and physicians say that 90fo of all sickness starts with stomach and bowel trouble.
 A coated tongue is a danger sig nal of those digestive disorders which lead to so many kinds of serious illness. It tells why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, sour stomach, dizzy spells.
 Coating on the tongue is a sign that you need Tanlac-the medi- cine which has helped thousands who were physical wrecks from stomach and bowel troubles-who had tried everything" in vain and about given up hope.
 Tanlac contains no mineral drugs; it is made Of barks, herbs and roots. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Your money back if it doesn't help you.
