REVELATIONS ‘What Happened When ~“Madge and Dicky Came Home to the Old House. ““What do you suppose old Lil meant when she said she had . solved the mystery of Mr. Gordon's interest in you?” Dicky asked the question with an elaborate air of nonchalance that did not deceive me. We were comfort- rbly seated in a train which was bearing us swiftly toward Marvin. Dicky had not made the slightest reference to the subject of Mr. Gordan since the night before when we had left Lillian and Harry at the restaur- ant after Lillian had declared that she thought she had discovered the reason for Robert Gordon's interest in me, but that she would not tell even me about it until she was very sure she was right. Both Dicky and her hus- band had laughed uproariously at her — e BIG EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE SAYS AUTHORITY Take a tablespoonful of Salts .to flush Kidneys if Back hurts. Omit all meat from diet if you feel Rhematic or Bladder bothers. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kkidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elim- Inative tissues clog and the result is xidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine s cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, xet from your pharmacist about four vunces of Jad Salts; take. a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- mous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate slogged kidneys; to hnéutralize the woids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending blad- ler disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- % jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water beverage; and belongs in svery home, because nobody can make R mistake by having a good kidrey Qushing any time. OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON declaration, but Lillian had presented ! an unmoved front to their ridicule. “Whenever you meet Gordon,” she ! had seized the opportunity to whisper to me in the confusion of departure, “Watch everything he says and does carefully, and tell me all about it| later. This is important, Madge, more impartant than you know.” Her manner had bewildered me, but I had said nothing.of it to Dicky. Indeed, I felt a curious, unexplained reluctance to speak to Dicky of anyr thing concerning Robert Gordon. This feeling-made my Teply to Dicky short, almost curt, t‘I haven't the said. self.” Dicky turned and quizzically. “What's the big idea?” he asked. “Tired of hearing about the mysteri- ous Mr. Gordon?" “Deadly tired!” I returned.

But| tired of the man himself I felt I could | never be. He exercised the most curious fascination for' me. I longed to see him again, yet in the same in- stant I dreaded the interview. I had! a half-guilty feeling concerning the man’s attraction for me, and yet I knew that if Dicky could realize the nature of my real feeling toward the man he would have no cause for jealousy. I had no more time for introspec- tion, however. Dicky was in high spirits, and he talked of everything and of nothing, jumping from one, subject to another with such rapidity | that it kept my brain busy following | him. It was only after we had left the train, and were seated in the taxi Tolling homeward, that Dicky fell silent. “Wonder what particular grievance mother’s going to hand us when we get there?”” he said at last, and I knew his thoughts were busy, as were mine, with his mother's eccentric behavior. She had checked out from the hotel where we had left her during our so- journ in the mountains, and had gone to the Marvin house, where Katie re- ported her to(be in a towering rage for some unknown reason. I waited a moment befare swering. “It doesn't really matter, dear?” I asked softly at last. Dicky turned, looked at me a moment, and then regardless of the driver, slipped his arm around me and drew me close to him. “You bully sweetheart!” he whis- pered, and then aloud. “No, you're | right, it doesri’t really matter, but it's mighty provoking just the same. But here we are. Jim looks quite the farmer, doesn’t he?” The taxi had rolled into the drive- way upon which the dining room en- trance opened. Jim, who had been | clearing up the garden for the winter, dropped his rake and came hurrying toward us. But from the door burst a flying vision in crisp blue gingham, which reached the taxi gefore Jim did, tore open the door, and held out her hands to me, laughing and sob- bing in a breath.

Katie gave it: “I not know mooch,” she answered. “But ever since old voman’s—I mean your moder”’—she flushed as she, looked at Dicky, ‘‘coom home, she talk, talk all time to herself.

What did it all mean? | WILSON IS BLAMED - N GERMAN PRESS Editors Believe He Should Have! * Accepted Single Ship Offer Berlin, Feb. 6, via L.ondon, Feb. 7, 10:30 a. m.—The afternoon newspa- pers devote columns to news from America, which, with the exception of the weather, excludes almost every thing else from their pages. Editor- ially the papers lay particular stress on President Wilson's move to induce Switzerland and other neutrals to fol- low his lead. The comments are tem- perate in general, although President Wilson personally is more sharply at- tacked than before and his peace ef- forts are ridiculed as utterly incon- sistent with what is termed his ate tempts to foment more trouble in Eu- rope. By a curious coinciden, almost every raper takes occasion to reiterate the allegation that the président’'s every act has been induced by his insistence that Americans shall be allowed to travel unendangered on Entente ships.

Here and there almost sarcasm makes its ap- pearance as the editors ask why President Wilson could not accept the German offer to.allow one American ship weekly to go to England. The papers are frankly encouraged cver the prospect that Switzerland and other neutrals will not fall in line be- hind President Wilson and it is point- ed out that the difference between their position and that of the Ruro- pean neutrals makes it improbable that he president will have any suc- cess in securing followers. In this respect the papers emphasize showing the inclination of the gov- ernment to ameliorate the lot of neu- { trals as far as possible as, for exam- ple, the alteration of the blockade area so that Holland might have an outlet and the furnishing of coal to Denmark. Papers like the Vossische Zeitung | ! and the Lokal Anzeiger, which hereto- fore have handled the American sit uation most temperately, show a ten dency to adopt the tone once taken by the Pan-German press. At the same time the Tages Zeitung and Journal of ! a similar coloring are milder than ever before in the expression of their views. They have abandoned defending Am- ; | erica and are devoting themselves to assuring thir readers that the German | decision is a final step toward ultimate | | and speedy victory. 200 BLOWN UP # Women Victims in Majority in sion of Dynamite Reported.
