cere ee TIRED BACKS. The kidneys have a great work to @o in keeping the blood pure. When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness languor and distress. ing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these suffer- ings will be saved you. Mrs. S.A. Moore, proprietor of a res- taurant at Water- ville, Mo., says: “Be- fore using Doan’s Kidney Pills I suf- fered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost contin- uous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan’s Kid- ney Pills are wonderful.” For sale by all dealers. box. 50 cents a Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

New “Heat Veil. The fire department of Cologne, Ger- many, has adopted as a protection to the faces of the men a newly invented | “heat veil.” The veil is made after the principle of a safety lamp, with double windows. It is composed of fibers of cane, which, as is known, possess the peculiar property of retaining water for a considerable length of time. The veil is dampened before being fast- ened to the fireman’s ordinary brass helmet. Children and Forestry Massachusetts is trying to arouse her public school pupils to interst in forestry, and the state forester, F. W. Rane, has sent out to every school su- perintendent in the state a circular letter setting forth the desirability of further educating the children in car- ing for trees. He offers seedlings and seed of white pine, white ash, red spruce, beech, chestnut and acorn trees on payment of the actual ex- pense of digging and express charges. Brains are Built from certain kinds of FOOD Grape-Nuts “America has become a land of ner- vous emotionalists, largely owing to our sins against the dietetic health laws of nature. “Only outdoor exercise in a cold cli- mate would enable vigorous individ- uals of our species to digest the viands forced upon alimentary organs enfee- bled by sedentary occupations,” wrote Dr. Felix Oswald. Brain workers must have different food than laborers, because brain work uses up parts of the brain and nerve centers, while physical labor uses up other parts of the body. Grape-Nuts, a food for brain work- ers, prepared by scientific food makers, is a pure, natural food made from se- lected parts of field grains known to contain the natural. phosphate of pot- ash and other elements required by the system in rebuilding and repair- ing the brain and nerve centers. This food is skillfully cooked at the factory and is ready to be served instantly with cream. At all first-class grocers and made by the Postum Co., at Battle Creek, Mich.

In a moment or two more dinner was served. “You needn’t wait, William,” Charie- wood said, as they sat down to the ta- ble. ‘Just put the soup on and I'll ring when we're ready.” “So good of you to ask me,” Rath- bone:said. “I should have gone to the Oxford and Cambridge club, had a beefsteak, looked at the evening pa- pers, and then returned to my cham- bers to write letters. Rather a dismal proceeding on a night like this!” “Hadn’t you anyt.ng on to-night, then?” Charliewood asked, carelessly. “Not a,single thing,” Rathbone an- swered. “I've been cutting all my en- gagements during the last week or two, telling people 1 was, going out of town. I’ve got a special reason fe working very hard just now.” Charliewood started, and a gleam came into his eyes. “Good idea, that!” he said; “telling people you're going out of town when you want to be quiet for a week or two!” “It is,” Rathbone replied. “At most of the houses 1m in the habit of going to just now every one thinks I’m away. I’ve been living the life of a recluse so far as society goes.” Charliewood slightly lifted a glass of Pol Roger. “Here’s success to the work, my dear boy,” he said, jovially. ‘And I congratulate myself on the odd acci- dent which brought us together. And, of course, I don’t know you very well, Rathbone, and I am sure I should hate to be impertinent in any way; but still, as you know, I go about everywhere, and one can’t help hearing things. And, besides, I’m in a speciak position in regard toa certain matter, too. Here’s my best wish for your happi ness in the future, in another way!” He looked straight into the young man’s eyes as he said this, and as e did'so Rathbone, whose glass was lift- ed in response, began to color, until his whole face beca-ae crimson. “T haven’t offended you?” Charlie- wood said, quickly. “Oh—er—not a bit, of course,” Rath- bone returned, with manifest uneasi- ness. “But I didn’t know that any- thing had got about. I didn’t know that you knew—oh,- confound it!” he concluded, “I don’t want to talk about my own affairs; I—hang it all, Charlie- wood, tell me straight out what you mean.” “I repeat,” Charliewood answered, “that I haven’t known you very long, and therefore I am very chary of in any way infringing the natural reticence there should be between men Still, you know who I am; everybody knows all about me, and I should like you to believe that I am really a friend.” As he said this, though his face was full of frankness and kindliness, once more Charliewood felt that sick loath- ing of himself that he had experienced just before his guest arrived. There was a throbbing at his temples, his throat felt as if it were packed with wari flour; he hurriedly gulped down some champagne and went on. “Ev- erybody knows by this time,” he said in a quiet voice, “that—that—well, old chap, that there has peen a sort of set- to-partners and a change in certain quarters.” At that moment William appeared with the fish,;Charliewood having rung. for. him at the psychological mo- ment, knowing that the little inter- lude would give his guest time to col- lect his thoughts. When the man had once left the room, Rathbone, who had been biting his lips in perplexity and drumming upon the table with his fingers, bent toward his host... “I see you. know all about it,” he said; “and, upon my word, if you’d let me, I should like to talk things over with you from one point of view.” “My dear Rathbone,” Charliewood replied, “say nothing whatever to me unless you like, but understand that what you did say would be said in ab- solute confidence, and that, if the ex- perience of a man o.der in social life and accustomed to all its vagaries could help you, I would give it to you with all my heart.” “Now I call that very good of you, Charliewood,” the young man answer- ed. “I'll tell you straight out, what you probably already know, and I'll ask you for a hint as to what I ought to do. Miss Poole’—he mentioned the name with obvious reluctance—“has found that she made an—er—well, a sort of mistake in her affections. I have no doubt it’s all over London that she’s written to Sir William Gouldes- prough, telling him so.” “Throwing him over, in fact,” Char- liewood said. “If you like to put it so,” the other answered; “and, of course, that is just what it amounts to.” “Well, then?” Charliewood said. “I feel in a sort of way that I’ve done an awfully caddish thing,” Rath- bone went on. “Fortunately, I am not in Gouldesbrough’s set. 1 don’t know him at all. At the same time it’s aw- fully bad form to make love to a girl who's engaged to any one else. And that, unconsciously, is just what I seem to have been doing for a very long time. But, believe me,” he con- cluded, with a singular simplicity and slight ‘Alive or Dead?’ The Strange Disappearance of Gerald Rathbone. By GUY THORNE. i boyishness, - really couldn’t help it.” Charliewood laughed a little and then sighed to himself. “I quite understand,” he said, “these things do and will happen, and that it wasn’t your fault at all. But I do think it’s very wrong if a girl who finds that she has made a mistake doesn’t put it right before it becomes unavoidable.” “Do you reaily?” Rathbone cried. “Well, do you know, that’s just my point of view, and it relieves me to hear you say. so.” “And do you know,” Charliewood replied, “that I’m probably the most intimate friend William Gouldesbrough has in the world?” Rathbone started. “Good Lord!” he said. “Then what—then why—and you really mean that you can be friends with me?” “That's just what I do mean,” Char- liewood answered, “and now we've got to the point; I will tell you frankly that, though our meeting was a pure accident in the first place, I am awful- ly glad that we did meet and that you are here to-night. I have talked the whole matter over with poor, dear Sir William a good deal lately. He has done me the hanor to make me his confidant in the matter. Two or three days ago I mentioned that I knew you.” “What did he say.” Rathbone asked quickly. “T can’t tell you his words,” Charlie- wood answered, “but I can tell you their purport. And it was a wonder- ful revelation to me of the strength and beauty of my old friend’s charac- ter. He’s a fine fellow, Rathbone, and when you know him you'll say so, too.” “Know him?’ Rathbone said. “My dear Charliewood, surely you see that it’s impossible that I should meet a man to whom I have unconsciously done such a greht injury?” “Ah,” Charliewood answered, “you don’t know William. It is just the possibility which makes his character so fine. Practically what he said to me was this: ‘You know this young fellow, Eustace. Is he a decent sort of man? A gentleman in ideas as well as in position, clgan living, and all that?’ ‘As far as I know,’ I-answer- ed, ‘he’s “just so” in every way.’” Once more Rathbone colored up to the eyes. Charliewood went on. “Then William unburdened himself to me fully. ‘I only want Marjorie Poole to be happy,’ he said, ‘and when the proper time arrives I shall just write and tell her so. I was fond of her, deeply fond of her; what man would not be? I thought, if she cared for me, that she would be a worthy mistress of my house, and an ideal partner to share my fortune and the position I have won. But I am much older than she is. I am immersed, as you know, in grave scientific pursuits, and I quite realize that I could not give her what, as a young girl, she has the right to expect. I don’t say that I relinquish my claim upon her without a pang, but I have other in- terests in my life, and love could in any case only be a part of it. Do you know what I should like to do more than anything else, Eustace?’ ‘What?’ I said. ‘Why,’ he continued, ‘to meet this young Mr. Rathbone. To tell him all that I am telling you, perfectly frankly, to shake him by the hand, and, by Jove! to be the best man at his wedding, if he’d let me. Then I shall get back to my inventions with a quiet mind, knowing that the only girl who has ever touched me in the least degree is safe and happy!’” Rathbone, pushed back his chair and jumped up. “Why, heavens!” he cried, “what a noble fellow! There’s a man, if you like. I can quite see it all, Charlie- wood, and you’ve relieved my mind of a tremendous weight. I can see it all quite distinctly. One of the most dis- tinguished and charming men of the day sees a beautiful and intellectual girl, and thinks the time has come when he must marry. Of course, he can’t really know what love is, like a younger man, or a man who has not made his mark in the world. He can’t feel what I feel, for instance. And so he bows to the inevitable, and in the kindest and most chivalrous way want’s to make every one happy. Charliewood, it’s just like a story- book!” “J don’t read ’em myself much; the papers do for me. But, ’pon my soul, since you put it in that way, so it is.” Mr. Charliewood quite forgot to add what sort of story-book. Even the most popular novels of to-day don’t always have the traditional happy ending. “Sit down, old fellow,” Charliewood said, with great kindness. “You mustn’t miss this chicken; it is a rather special dish, and I’m going to ring for William.” “Oh, hang chicken!” Rathbone an- swered, his face glowing. “Never abuse your dinner,” replied Charliewood, sagely. “Only people who are not able to dine do that. You never know when you may dine again.” As he said this the wicked exhilara- tion at having successfully played with sure and dexterous fingers‘ upon this young and impressionable nature flowed over the older man, An evil ' joy in his own powers came to him, a devilish satisfaction in his knowl- edge of the horrid future. For a mo- ment the tenant who had lately taken up his abode within Mr. Eustace Charliewood was looking out of his host’s eyes. Rathbone laughed carelessly. Then after the waiter had once more en- tered and left the room, he bent over the table and began to speak more earnestly, “I suspect,” he said, “that I owe you a great deal in this matter, Charlie- wood—more than you would care to confess. Now, tell me—don’t I” Charliewood waved his hand. “Oh, we won't go into that part of the question,” he said. “But there’s just one thing I would like to say. Your feeling in the matter has been quite splendid, Rathbone: I admire you for the way you have felt and spoken, since you have been telling me about your engagement, from first to last. Such a lot of men would have congratulated themselves upon winning the girl away from the other fellow without a thought of what the other fellow would feel. Now, look here, I do think you owe William this much reparation——” “Anything in the world I can do—” Rathbone was beginning. “Well, there’s one thing you can do,” Charliewood answered; “you can satisfy him that you’re the sort of man to whom he would care to sur- render Miss Poole. He is willing and anxious to make friends with you. In fact, I know he is most anxious to meet you. I admit that it may be an awkward meeting for you, but I think that you owe it to him, considering the way in which he regards the whole affair.” “Of course I will meet him,” de clared Rathbone. “I shall be proud to meet a man like that—any time you like.” “Well, I don’t want to press things, Rathbone, but, personally, I should say there was no time like the pres- ent. We are sure to find Gouldes- brough in to-night after dinner. Sup- pose we walk up to Regent’s Park and call on him? I know you will be re- ceived in the kindest way—in a way you never suspected before we talked the matter over.” A “We'll do it,” Rathbone answered, “and I shall leave his house to-night feeling a great burden has been re- moved from me.” Charliewood made no reply to this last remark, but merely pushed the champagne bottle over to his guest. * * * * * An hour afterward the two men, both wearing astrachan coats which had brought them so curiously togeth- er turned up about their ears, were walking briskly toward Oxford street. The fog was very heavy and few peo- ple were about, though Charliewood said he knew exactly how to find the way. ° “You needn’t worry,” he said; “we'll go up Portland Place, and I can find Sir William’s house without the least trouble. In fact, I think it would be a mistake to take a hansom on a night like this. The roads are horri- bly greasy. You can’t see the lights of any vehicle a few yards ahead, and we're just as likely to be run into as not. Of course, if you’d rather ride ” “Not a bit,” Rathbone answered; “exercise will do me good, and I shall feel calmer and more prepared for the interview. I’m not a sybarite like you are, and after a dinner like the one you’ve given me I should not be near- ly in such good form unless I did have a walk.” “Right oh!” Charliewood replied; “then come along. We will walk fast to keep warm.” They went on, neither talking much because of the thick fog that stung the nostrils and the eyes and poured down the throat when the“mouth was opened. (To Be Continued.) Apple Tree Planted at Night. An apple tree planted: seventy-six years ago on a lot now owned by H. W. Charles of Spiceland, Ind., meas- ures 112 inches in circumference two feet from the ground. Five feet from the ground the circumference is 110 inches. The distance between the ex- treme tips of the boughs is sixty-three feet. The tree is of the Vandevere variety, and tradition says it was planted at midnight, there being a belief that ap- ple trees planted during the night sea- son would be prolific bearers. There is no record of its productiveness for the first fifty years of its growth, but for the last twenty-five years it has yielded annually heavy crops of fine apples... Last autumn ten of the | apples ranged in a row, each touching its neighbor, measured just one yard. No Cause for Alarm. The honeymoon had bumped the bumps. “You know, John,” said the young wife, “that I used to be your type- writer?” “Um—yes,” grunted John. “Well,” she continued, “I wish you would discharge the girl you have now and hire a man in her place.” “Huh,” rejoined hubby. “I hope you don’t think I would make a fool of myself twice in the same way.” Something to Regret. “Are you happier now that you own your own home?” asked the solicitous friend. “Of course,” answered Mr. Meekton, “there is a proud satisfaction in hav- ing my own place. But occasionally I can’t help longing for the time when my wife kicked to the landlord for re- pairs instead of coming to me.” About the only time the majority of us act natural is when we are asleep.
