IsYour Body Poisoned?
Well kidneys keep the blood free of
uric acid, a deadly poison that is constantly
forming inside the body.
Sluggish kidneys allow the uric acid to
accumulate, causing rheumatic attacks,
headache, dizziness, gravel, urinary
troubles, weak eyes, dropsy, and heart
disease.

MNSFERJF UNO
By WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.
"Square as a die and honest as a
Quaker." was the reputation that Jarvis
Mercer had won in Lindgrove
after sixty days' business establishment
in the real estate and mortgage
line.
"And good as gold." was the ardent
and sincero addendum of his office
secretary, Nellie Ward, but she said it
to herself, as she glanced timidly at
her employer, and blushed self consciously.
'ler true womanly heart was full of
gratitude towards the shy, reticent
man who had started her in business
life. She needed work sadly when she
applied for a position a grado better
than clerking in the village dry goods
store. Nellie had an aged aunt to support,
ar.d when Mr. Mercer offered her
nearly double her former salary she
felt as though rare opulence had become
her portion.
Mr. Mercer had shown her unusual
indulgence. He had been patient in
teaching her how to operate the typewriter
He had set her easy and
pleasant tasks. From the first he bad
placed entire confidence in her. and
th's pleased her greatly. In fact, at
the end of the first month she attended
to bank and other business when
he was absent.
Her employer arose and came over
to where she was busy at her desk.
She felt her pulses quicken and was
angry at herself for the emotion.
"I am going away for two weeks.
Miss Ward," he said in his quiet, gentle
way.
Her tell-tale heart informed her that
rhe would miss him. She dropped her
glance from those kindly eyes of his.
"You will find all necessary memoranda
here." he continued, placing a
package before Nellie.
She noticed that the bank book was
included, containing some checks of a
large amount. Adding to this the
large cash balances usually carried,
and the fact that she had authority to

of the Men.
sign chocks during the absence of her
employer, a sudden wave of emotion
overcame Nellie.
'Oh, sir." she spoke impetuously,
"how creatlv vou trust mo?"
"And how greatly you appreciate it,
.Miss Ward," he returned with a quick
smile. "You have developed into a
splendid little business woman. 1
don't know how 1 could get along?
that is. you have been so useful and
willing."
ile turned away shyly, like a great
schoolboy making a blunder. The inutual
embarassment, his tacit recognition
of her harmonious position only
seemed to increase her growing regard.
"lly the way," he went on, after a
moment or two of consultation of
seine papers, "here is something particular.
It is a power of attorney au
thorizing you to act for me in the matter
of a real estate transfer. I have
had a very good offer for the upland
forty acres."
Neiiie knew the tract well. It was
on< of two pieces of property left to
him by his uncle's estate when he
came to Lindgrove. There was the
lowland forty acres near by. a worthless
stretch of swamp property.
"These people." and Mr. Mercer extended
a card, "will be in. they say. in
s day or two and pay two thousand
dollars cash for a deed. You will execute
it. please, and take the money."
"Marvin & Sharp. Brokers." was the
legend the bit of pasteboard bore.
"And now good-by. Miss Ward,"
continued Mr. Mercer, clasping her
hand and holding it "I leave everything
in your charge, knowing you
will attend to the business better than
I possibly could It will be your turn
for a two weeks' vacation when 1 return."
"Why, Mr. Mercer, I have scarcely
been here two months."
"And need a little recreation, like
all of us." brightly reminded Jarvls.
Then his expressive face dropped
solemnly. He stared at his little heeler
in surprise. A tear drop had fallen
upon his hand. His clasp tightened,
his breath came quickly. Then In
turned away and abiuptly left the
room.
"I'love him." N'ellio told herself. "It
is folly, for he cculd never think of a
simple, untutored girl like mo, but-*-;
love him!"
Who would not! she challenged, as
i i J
#
she thought of tho kindly deeds he
had done secretly Bince coming to
Lindgrove. He was not a rich roan,
far from it. but hie simple charities
were many, and one concrete deed ot
goodness, where ho had Baved a poor
widow from foreclosure, had complete ,
ly won Nellie's heart.
it was two mornings later when
Nellie entered tho front office of the
suite unobserved. The boy who
upeueu up wits ousy in anomer room
and had not noticed her, nor had two
men seated in the outer apartment.
She was about to apprize them of her
presence when a remark attracted her
attention sharply.
"It's a raw deal. Sharp!" spoko ono
of the men.
"That's the kind that pays, isn't it.
Marvin?" and Nellie instantly knew
that the speakers were the expected
clients of her employer.
"Yes, but if it's found out?about
that letter, you know."
"It won't be. If it is, we've made
our turn, haven't we? See here, look
at the rationale of the thing: this wayback
sleepy Mercer has a tract with
uncovered riches under it. \Yo discover
it. So does the Vulcan Steel
company. They write him offering him
ten thousand dollars for the land. 1
intercept that letter and it never
reaches its destination. We canic personally
and get an option on the property.
The Tidewater Iron works pays
us richly for it. That's our business?
making a commission. See here." and
there was a rustling of paper. "There's
a sample of some of the prime stufT
under that forty acres."
In a flash Nellie comprehended the
plot in motion. What should she do?
mercer was nve nuiiuroa iniics away.
She had only surmise to go on. The
office boy coming in announced her to
the visitors. They stated their business.
Nellie had her orders. Oh. for
time, for advice! Then, self-reliant little
business woman that she was. she
prepared the deed the men asked for.
executed it and received tko two-thousand.
Messrs. Marvin & Sharp
marched off jubilantly to record the
deed. Nellie nearly collapsed when
she tried to realize the bold, defiant
thing she had done.
The men had left what looked like
a lump of clay behind them. It was
the specimen they had talked about.
From one of the professors up at the
college Nellie learned that it contained
a rare substance known as cresolite.
employed in blasting furnaces
to fuse metal.
Then Nellie waited, expecting an explosion
every day. Having secured
their deed the schemers were taking
their leisure. One day Mr. Mercer aje
i peared.
"l'.y the way. Miss Ward." he spoke,
after a warm, friendly greeting. "I no
1 tice in the weekly paper a transfer of
. the swamp tract."
j "Yes, sir." replied Nellie, her breath
I coming quick, "1 sold it to those clients.
Marvin & Sharp."
"ltut they wero to have the upland
acres."
"They think they have got them,"
explained Nellie. "They are swindlers.
for they intercepted a letter of
fering you a large amount. Oh. Mr.
Mercer! I have tried to protevt you. I
hope I have not done wrong." and.
i 11 U l l 111 ^ till 19 It'iirs, .M'llH' IOIU till.
"You are going to blame mo!" she
sobbed, as she looked up to find his
eyes fixed upon her.
"I am lost in admiration!" cried Jarvis
Mercer. "I need a guardiin. as
you have proved. Miss Ward?Nellie,
could it bo possible that you would accept
such a responsibility?permanently?"
"1 love you so?I love you so!" was
all Nellie could whisper, sheltered in
those stronp, protecting arms.

would envy the home of one resident

neighbors; neither owns his home nor
pays rent.
Out on tlie extroino end of one of
the longest piers in the Hudson rivr

wrought of corrugated iron, and resembling
more nearly a bomb-proof
shelter than a peaceable dwelling.
This strange little apartment, nevertheless,
is fitted with all the comforts
and luxuries that combine to
make a bachelor's existence suft'erable.
Rich paper sheaths the walls,
heavy carpets lie underfoot, a piano

slightest whim.
