= MACHINE-GROUND PAINT. Oceasionally one hears the “hand-| mixed” paint of the painter slightingly spoken of as “unscientific” and “not thoroughly. mixed.” The facts are all m the side of the painter and his hand- prepared paint. It is the most “scientific” paint there is, because it is made on the spot to suit the particular purpose for which it is to be used. It is as scientific as a good doctor’s prescription. If the painter did not mix it thus it would be as unscientific as a patent medi- cine. Moreover, the paint which a good painter turns out is made of genuine white lead and. pure linseed oil. If he does not mix it himself he is not sure what is in it, and conse- quently his client cannot be sure. As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply a mis- statement. White Lead as made by National Lead Company is thorough- ly incorporated with 7 or 8 per cent. of pure Linseed oil in the factory, mak- ing a paste. This paste need only be thinned with additional linseed oil to make it ready for the brush. The thorough incorporation of pig- ment and oil has already been accom- plished before the painter gets it. To know how to tell pure white lead is a great advantage to both painter ind honse-owner. National Lead.Com- pany will send a tester free to anyone interested.

LOST $300. Buying Medicine When Right Food Was Needed. Money spent for “tonics” and “brac- ers” to relieve indigestion, while the poor old stomach is loaded with pas- try and pork, is worse than losing a pocketbook containing the money. If the money only is lost it’s bad cnough, but with lost health from wrong eating, it is hard to make the money back. A Mich. young lady lost money on dr but is thankful she found a way to get back her health by proper food. She writ “I had been a victim of nervous dys- pepsia for six years and spent three hundred dollars for treatment in the attempt to get well. None of it did me any good. Finally 1 tried Grape-Nuts food, and the results were such that, if it cost a dollar a package, I would not be without it. My trouble had been caused by eating rich food such as pastry and pork. “The most wonderful thing that ever happened to me, I am sure, was the change in my condition after I began to eat Grape-Nuts. I began to improve at once and the first week gained four pounds. “{ feel that I cannot express my- self in terms that are worthy of the benefit Grape-Nuts has brought to me, and you are perfectly free to publish this letter if it will send some poor sufferer relief, such as has come to me.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

How soon can we leave this place?” “I dessay we,could sneak out, now; I ’ates ter ’ave a row ’ith a pal, so I ’opes yer don’t bear no malice?” “Oh, that’s all right; we are all three in it, and we must stick togeth- er. I shall go to Leeds to-night and settle with those two women.” “Please yerself, but my motter is, ‘Let well alone,’ an’ I’d let that crowd jolly well alone, I can tell yer; but come hon, an’ I’l see yer safe inter ther station.” Hammond made a_ hurried scrutiny of the road from the upper window, and seeing nothing that looked like danger they left the arch and made their way back to London, where Win- ton booked on for Leeds. With the leather case safely stowed away in his pocket, Hammond waited with his confederate until the train started. And so for the second time that day Hammond witnessed the departure of the Leeds train, and then himself re- turned to Brighton, where Percy Twist was anxiously awaiting his arrival. “Lor’, wot a hexitin’ day I ’ave ’ad, ter be shooar;~’air breff hescapes, weddin’ ‘parties, an’ rough-an’-tumble fights. Ho, it ’as amoosed me.” “Tell me all about it.” And Hammond _ thereupon gave Twist a vivid and highly ornamental agcount of the day’s happenings. “And you say that he is married to this Judith Ballara, Joe Brawn’s daughter?” “That’s about ther ticket; leastwise, if ’e ain’t a widower by now; ’e fetched ’er a horful whack. Ho, I was amoosed.” “And you got the diamond?” “Rather; you bet on Bill Jack.” “Then I think we have had enough of Winton; he’s far too dangerous for us. ‘We must end it.” “Well, ’ow?” “He has gone to Leeds after this Miss Brent, and expects us to follow.” “Not ’arf, ’e doesn’t. Ho, it does make me larf; but what are yer goin’ ter do?” “I think it would be a pity to disap- point him if he expects somebody;:- so the*best man to meet him will be Joe Brawn. I don’t know his address, but a wire to Griffin will put him on the track and rid us of him, and we'll clear out to-morrow early.” “My, what a ‘ead you’ve got; it do amoose me.” Twist sat down and wrote out a tel- egram; “Jasper Garlick left Leeds this afternoon.” “T will send this to the telegraph office at once.” He left the room and returned in a few minutes, and somewhat startled Hammond by locking the door. “Now, having attended to business and put what I think will prove a spoke in Winton’s wheel, I think we might refresh ourselves with a look at the ‘Empire’s Dream.’” “Right-ho! I’m hanxious ter ’ave a look at ther lump o’ liquid light again meself. Lor’, wot a treat it'll be when we ’andles ther brass!” He produced the leather case and laid it upon the.table. Twist took it up and passed his hand lovingly across it onee or twice, and then, as they both bent over the table, he touched the spring. The lid flew up, and then they both started back with a simultaneous cry of amazement and rage. The case was empty! London for CHAPTER XVI. ~ The glorious spring day had drawn to its close; the sun had set in the west in the fiery brilliancy of a gor- geous slow, and the oncoming shad- ows flickered murkily among the trees’ now laden with snowwhite blossoms. The French windows of the pretty room were partly open, and before a small table still encumbered with tea- things Kate Dauncey and Mary Brent sat enjoying the beauties of the newly-opened treasures of the garden. “How good it is to sit here in peace and quietness! It is only those who have passed through much trouble and sorrow that can fully appreciate the priceless possession of a calm mind.” “That is true, Mary, and I hope now that all your troubles are at an end. It has been a sad time, dear, but a few months of happiness, and we quickly forget past sorrows.” “And you really think we are safe here? It would be terrible if—if he found us here before Godfrey came.” “I think we are quite safe, dear. We have Judith BaHara’s word that Win- ton would not trouble us again, and I know we can trust her. The only danger is from that terrible man Ham- mond. I am wondering’ whether it was Only an accident that led him to the station when we were leaving London.” The Empire's Dream Amazing Adventures of a Gang of Thieves ‘ Who Stole a World-Famous Dia- mond of Fabulous Wealth. “You think that perhaps he was sent to follow us?” “I don’t know, only it seems such a offence by restoring the jewel?

Ah! believe me, Kate, and help me; the police are on my track, and I have been identified with the Jasper Gar- lick of years ago. I was safe when they only. knew me as Winton; but this affair of the ‘Empire’s Dream’ has undone me.” “Then why not seek to palliate your behalf with her father, if you made such an act of restoration.” “I—I cannot do it.” “You will not, you mean; you will keep your ill-gotten bauble and ask to escape, she will have the protection of her | knowing that I speak the truth when I father and—and Godfrey.

Oh, yes, they will come, I am sure of that, and I cannot manage to get away without their help. You will hide me, Kate, until I can get a message to them?” “And then where will you go to?” “Anywhere away from here—Not- tingham, I think; I have a good hid- ing place there.

I have always loved you, little Kate, even in the days when I treated you so badly; but there is some evil streak in my constitution that smothers all my better instincts, some grinning elf that sits upon my shoulder and snarls at good intentions, and—and—you did love me once, Kate.” “Yes, I did love you once. “And—you will help me now?” “What do you want me to do?” “Hide me here to-night—anywhere; this room will do; lend me a little “Ah!

Happy days and joyous hours were blotted out by torture- laden remembrances, and there was no thought of the possibility of a brighter future to cheer the coldness of her heart. The memory of Montagu Winton, and‘all that he had once been to her, rose up in her mind, and the days that she had counted happy were drear and dismal indeed when through the vista of long years. that past time the man’s fascinations had laid a spell upon her; and even “And did Hammond tell you where to find me?” (To Be Continued.)

He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excru- ciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost un- bearable.
