Gt the Habit Drinking Hot Water * Before Breakfast Says we can't look or feel right with the system full of poisons. Millions of folks bathe Internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. "What's an inside bath?" you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per. form miracles if you coul4. believe these hot water enthusiasts. There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon-arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime. stone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It is in. tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines -of the previous day's waste, #our bile and indigestible material left over in the body which, if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious at tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, 'sleep lessness, impure blood and all sorts -of ailments. People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are Urged to ob tain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or store keeper. This will cost very little- bt Is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sani tation. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast ly more important to bathe on the in side than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities in to the blood, while the bowel poies do. --Adv. Mean.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidne$' trou ble, because we eat toQ much and all our food is rich.

She plans to clear her hudband's memory and asks the judge's 4id. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story of the murder of Algernon Etheridge by John Scoville in Dark Hollow, twelve years before. The judge and Mrs. Sco ville meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how, on the day of the nur der, she saw.the shadow of a man, whit tling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The judge engages her and her daughter Reuther to live with him in his mysterious home. Deborah and her law yer, Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded in it. Deborah and Reuther go to live with the judge. Deborah sees a ortrait of Oliver, the judge's son. with a black band painted across the eybs. That night site finds, in Oliver's' room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and a knife with a broken blade-point. Anon ymous letters and a talk with Miss Weeks increase her suspiclons and fears. She finds that -Oliver was in the ravine on the murder night. Black warns tier and shows her other anonymous letters hinting at Oliver's guilt. In the court roont the Judge is handed an anonymous note. The notv Is picked up and rondl utloud. A mob follows tihe judge to his home. Deborah tells him why suspicion has been aroused against Oliver. CHAPTER Xill-Continued. Once within the room, he became his courteous self once more. "Be Eeat ed," he begged, indicating a chair in the half gloom. As she took it. the room sprang into sudden light. He had Pulled the string which regulated the curtains over the glazed panes in the ceiling. Then as quickly all was gloom again; he had let the string es cape from his hand. "Half light is better," he muttered in vague apology. It was a weird beginning to an In terview whose object was as yet in comprehensible to her. One minute a blinding glimpse of the room whose details were so varied that many of them 6till remained unknown to her the next, everything swept again into shadow through which the tall form of the genius of the place loomed with melancholy suggestion! She was relieved when he spoke. "Mrs. Scoville (not Deborah now) have you any confidence in Oliver's word? Has there ever been anything in his conversation as you knew it in Detroit to make you hesitate to re ply?" the judge persisted, as she con tinued speechless. "No; nothing. I have every con fidence in his assertions. I should have yet, if it were not for this horror." "Forget it for a moment. Recall his effect upon you as a man, a prospec tive son-in-law--for you meant him to marry Reuther." "I trusted him. I would trust him in many ways yet." "Would you trust' him enough to be lieve that he would tell you the truth if you asked him point-blank whether his hands were clean of crime?" "Yea." The wvord came in a wvhls per; but there was no wavering in it. She had felt the conviction dart like an arrow through her mind that Oli ver might slay a man in. his hate might even conceal his guilt for year's -but that he could not lie about it when brought face to face with an ac cuser like herself. "Then I will let you read something he wrote at my retiuest these many years ago: An experience-the tale of one awful night, the horrors of which, locked within his mind and mine, have never been revealed to a third person. That you should share our secret now, is not only necessary, but fitting. It becomes the widow of John Scoville to know what sort of a man she per'sists in regarding inno cent. Wait for me." With a quick step) he ivound his way among the various encumbering pieces of furniture to his bedroom. Here he lingered so long that, without any conscious volition of her own she found, herself on her feet, but she had not had time to reseat herself when she beheld him approaching with the bundle of loose sheets clutched in1 his hand. "I want you'sit here and r'ead," said he, laying the manuscript down on a small table near the wall under a gas Jet wvhich he immediately lighted. "I altn going back to my own desk.

I was fifteen. It was my birthday and I had my own ideas of how I want ed to spend it. My hobby was model ling. Aly father had no sympathy with this hoLby. To him it was a waste of time better spent in study or such sports as would fit me for study. When on the day I mention I had a few hours of freedom, I de cided to begin the remodeling in clay of an exquisite statue which had great ly aroused my admiration. This statue stood in a forbidden place. It was one of the art treasures of the great house on the bluff com monly called Spencer's Folly. I had seen this maWble once, when dining there with father, and was so im pressed by its beauty that it haunted me night and day. The boy of fifteen would attempt the impossible. I pro cured my clay and then awaited my opportunity. It came, as I have said, on my birthday. There was no one living in the'house at this time. Mr. Spencer had gone \Vest for the winter. The servants had been dismissed, and the place closed. What to every other person in town would have seemed an insuperable ob stacle to this undertaking, was no ob stacle to ie. I knew how to get in.

I began my wqrk then" I began to realize a' little thi iAatute of the task I had undertaken And to ask myself whether if I stayed all night I. could finish It to my mind. It was during one of these moments of hesitation that I heard the first growl of distant thunder. But the thunder. growled again and my head rose, this time in real alarm A man-two men were enitering by Lhe great front door. I hoard a loud lapgh, and the tipsy exclamation of a voice I knew: "There! shut the door, can't you, before it's blown from its hinges? You'll find -verything jolly I.ere. Wine, lights, solitude in which to finish our game and a roaring good opportunity to sleep afterwards." . The answer I failed to catch. I was simply paralyzed by terror. As the door of the room opened to admit them, I succeeded in shutting that of the closet into which I had flung my self-or almost- so. I did not dare to latch it, for they were already in the room and might hear me. "This is the spot for us," came in Spencer's most jovial tones. "Big! table, whisky handy, cards right here in my pocket. Wait,- till I strike a light!" ' A gas jet shot up, then two, then all that the room contained. "How's that? What's a flash more or less now!" I heard no answer, only the slap of the cards as they were flung onto the table; then the clatter of a key as it turned in some distant lock. The bottles were brought forward and they sat down one on each side of the dusty mahogany table. The man facing .me was Spencer, the other sat with his back my way. "We'll play till the hands point to three," announced Spencer, taking out his watch and laying It down where both could see it. "Do you agree to that?-unless I win and your funds go a-begging before that hour." "I agree." The tone was harsh; It was almost smothered. The'tuan was staring at the watch; there was a strange set look to his figure; a paus. ing as of thought-of sinister thought, I should now say: then I never stopped to characterize it; it was fol lowed too quickly by a loud laugh and a sudden grab at the cards "You'll win! I feel it in my bones," came in encouraging tones from the rich man. "If you do"-here the storm lulled and his voice sank to an en couraging whisper-"you can buy the old tavern up the road. It's going for a song; and then we'll be neighbors and can play-play-" . . . The bills had all gone one way. They fell within Spencer's grasp. Sud denly hard upon a rattling peal which seemed to unite heaven and earth I heard shouted out: "Half-past two! The game stops at three." "Damn your greedy eyes!" cahie back in a growl. Then alh was still, fearfully still, both in the atmosphere outside and in that within, during which I caught sight of the stranger's hand moving slowly around to his back and returning as slowly forward, all under cover of the table-top and a stack of half-empty bottles. "I can buy the (Ilaymore tavern, can I? Well, I'm going to." rang out into the air as the speaker leaped to his feet. "TIake that, you cheat! And that! And that!" And the shots rang out---one, two, three! Spencer was dead in his Folly. had seen him rise, throw up his hands and then fall in a heal) among the cards and glasses. Then the man who stood there alone turned slightly and I saw his face. I have seen it many times since; I have seen it at Claymnore tav' era, ie put the weapon back in his pocket and began gatherinig up the money. WVhen every bill was in his plockets lie reachedl out his hand for the watch. Then I saw him smile, lie smiled as lhe shut the case, he smiled as he plunged it in after the bills. Next moment I woke to a realiza tion of myself and all the danger of my own position. I had the instinct to make a leap for the window over my head and clutch at its narrow sill in a wild attempt at escape. But the effort ended precipitately. H~e was coming towardl me-a strain lag, panting figure-half carrying, half dragging, the dead man who flopped aside from hi.s arms. My senses blurred and I knowv nothing till on a sudden they clearedl again, andl I woke to the blessed realization that the door1 had been pushed against my slen. decr figure, hidilng it comletely fr'om his sight, anid that this door' wats now closedi again andl this time tightly, and I was safe-safe! The relief sent the perspiration in a reek from every pore; but the icy revulsion came (quickly. As I drew uIp knees to get a better purchase on the sill, heaven's -torch was suddenly lit up, the closet became a lilt of dazzling wvhiteness amid wvhich I saw the blot of that dead .body, with heed propped against the wall and eyes Remtembe'r, I was but fifteeni.

Then darkness settled again and I was left alone with Mur der-all the innocence of my youth He Had Not Seen Me and Was Going, gone, and my soul a very charnel house.
