"Bayard! Rnynrd I It's come!
We're rich! We're made! Eureka!
Uneeda ! Munitions! Wow! Listen 1
The other night while I was trailing
a Job In darkest New Jersey I ran
across a little clue, and a little man
who told me a little secret. The Germans
have been getting ready for this
war for years, piling up guns and ammunition
for Der Tug. The other
countries were cuught only hulf ready.
They have stopped the Germans on
the Marue, but they've been using
C cliolla of OlloL O Mofo 4K..A.

famine is near. Their only hope is to
buy supplies of us. They're going to i
dump enough contracts on tills coun- i
try to furnish about a million dollars
to every citizen. Their ugents are
pussy-footing round to distribute contracts
quietly.
"The Bethlehem Steel company lias
gathered in a big lot of them, and J
had a tip that the stock was going
to boom; so are a lot of other stocks, i
I'd sell niy right arm for a little cash.
But there's no niurket for detached
right arms, so I used mine to sign up
aw llttl^ contracts for placing con* t
tracts, and I've plucked them aud
brought thetn to you." He broke Into
dance and whirled Bayard off his feet
Bayard tried to be patient. "That's i
all very Interesting, Clay, but take
your delusions down .to Bellevue, <
where they'll put you in the right cell. ,
What can you or I do with ummuni- ,
tion contracts?"
"Accept 'em, you blamed ijit! Open (
up your old shut-up fuctory and get ,
bnsv."
I
"We have no machinery for ranking
ammunition." j
"Get It, then, or adapt your ma- |
chinery! They need millions of eaeh \
article, for there ure millions of men ,
in the field using up ..lint they've got ,
so fast that it'** only a matter of \
weeks before they'll be desperate."
Bayard began to see the scheme? ]
also the obstacles. "But It takes ,
money to make those tilings. Where j
wiU '* '> ?et the cash for the pay rolls (
and the raw materials?"
**rnim the bunks! The bunks arc
bursting open with Idle money; It's ,
rutting on tlietr minds I" ,
Bayani went aglow with the realisation
ot the opportunity, lie negan to
rremhle at the vision ot the sudden
avalanches or wealth pouring down
the oleak mountains of despair, fie
rnulo near the roar of the Niagaras
ot gold.
Iiaphne and Leila came rushing
from concealment. Clay's beatitude
was so complete that he forgot his resentments
and kissed them ooth.
Bayard was frantic to be at work.
He resolved to telephone the presl- (
lent of his company at once and lay
the matter tiefore him. Leila cannlly
advised Bayard to grasp the whip
iiand of the situation and keep It. She
began to dance about the room like
11 Miriam celebrating the passuge of
the Bed sea.
"The first thine we'll do." she said,
"will he to set my Jewelry out of the
pawnshop and the second will Im? to
huy some more. And, oh, the dresses I
and the hats I" !
This asserted a sobering effect on
Bayard. "No," he announced. "We've
gone through hades once because I
gambled away n?y reserves. This time
I'm going to get a big reserve before
I spend a cent. I'll never risk another
ordeal like the one we've been
through. No more fractures of the
Thirteenth for inel"
Leila laughed.
Bayard went to the telephone to
start the wheels of the factory In motion
by summoning the president to
council. He paused to ask: "He'll
want to know who the foreign agent
la you are dealing with? Or are there
several? Who shall I say?"
"Wetherell," said Clay.
The great Skoda gun that suddenly j
one day dropped a monster shell In
Dunkirk twenty miles off could hardly
have caused more stupefaction than 1
the name of Wetherell detonutlng In
that room.
Daphne snatched her hand from
Clay's. Bayard sprang up so sharply
that he almost threw Leila forward
on her face. Instinctively he caught
her by the arm and saved her from
fulling. But Instantly he flung her
arm from hlin In a gush of disgust.
Clay gaped at the tatdcau In bewilderment.
He had not dreamed that
any of the three had ever heard of
Wetherell. He could not Imagine the
bitterness the name Involved.
"Will some kind friend please tell
me what all the excitement Is about?"
This was not easy. Who wanted to
tell ('lay that Leila had Just been accused
of neglecting her husband and
her own duties for the society of this
very Wetherell? Leila herself was
the one that told him.
"Look here, By die,* Leila cooed

in<l billed, "don't you think you've

ignln. Isn't that enough without beg- pI
gurlng us all for spite? What else m
s It but cheap, nasty spite?" a
"It's a great deal more than spite,"
3ayard groaned. "Dd you think I'll
iccept favors from a man who has

"Well. I wouldn't!" Leila averred.
'And T . not going to starve. And ,
[*m net going to let you commit harithrl
on Wetherell's doorstep Just to
spite him. I tell you again, once for tu

"Well," Bayard sighed, "beggars

money."

Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tcch>
nlcal for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of Buynrd and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thousands
of dollars Daphne stole out unheeded
and weui up to her ?>wu room.
Mr. Chlvvlg was sitting by a window
In mournful Idleness. Mrs. Oilvvls
was stitching away at her embroidery.
She was cheerful?for her.
She told Daphne that she had found .
a market for ber needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.

rhysicians have learned from ex<
perience, during the epidemic of in
Hlicnza. that one nf t Iw nwwt im.
portant factors In the prevention of
flu and pneumonia is to keep the
liver active so that the digestive organs
may he in perfect working order
and the system thereby enabled
to throw off colds, check sore throats
and resist serious complications. For
this purpose they have found that
the new, nausealess calomel, called
f'alotabs, is far more effective even
than the old style calomel, which was
formerly the universal favorite, as
Calotabs do not weaken nor salivate
the patient, nor interfere with the
appetite and digestion.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat. doctors recommend one
t'alotab at hed time with a swallow
of water that's all. No salts, no
nausea, nor the slightest Interference
with your diet, pleasure, or
work. Next morning you wake up
feeling fine, your liver is active, and
your appetite is keen for a good
breakfast. For your protection Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed
packages, price thirty-five cents.
All druggists recommend and guarantee
Calotabs. Remember. your
money back if you are not glad you

In those days the United States of

iat they could pull themselves out
