Health is Worth Saving, and Some Decatur People Know How to Save It. Many Decatur people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is the statement of a Decatur citizen, who has reclaimed good health by the use of this remedy: Mrs. Lucy Edge, of 728 north Fifth street, Decatur, Ind., says: “I still think as much of Doan's Kidney Pills as I did when I gave a statement for publication some years ago endorsing this remedy. I suffered for years with kidney complaint and was annoyed with a constant soreness and pains across my loins, which became worse when I stooped or overexerted myself. During the night I did not get the rest I needed and my general health became affected so that I could hardly get about to attend to my* household duties. I noticed Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised in the newspapers and I began using them. They went to the seat of the trouble in a short time, and removed the aching and lameness and soreness which has not returned up to this time. I take pleasure in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, as I believe they make permanent cures.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

“It’s this way—her father, wno knew Randolph & Randolph through your father’s handling of the Seaboard's affairs, learned of my connection with the house, and gave her a letter, asking me to do what I could to help his daughter carry out her plans. She wants to get a position with «s, if possible, in some sort of capacity, secretary, confidential clerk, or, as she puts it, any sort of place that will justify her being in the office. She tells me she is good at shorthand, on the machine, or at correspondence, also that she has been a contributor to the magazines. If this can be arranged, she says she will on her own responsibility select the time and the stock, and Luri the last of the Sands fortune at the market. and, Jim, she is game. The blow seems to have turned this child Into a wonderfully nervy creature, and, old man. I am beginning to have a feeling that perhaps the cards may come so she will win the judge out You and I know where less than sixty thousand had been run up to millions more than once, and that, too, without the aid she will have, for I’ll surely do all I can to help her steer this last chance into spongy places.” Bob in his enthusiasm had completely lost sight of the fact that he was Indorsing a project that but a moment previous he had pronounced insane, and with a start I realized what this sudden transformation betokened. Inevitably, if the project he outlined were carried out, Bob and the beautiful southern girl would be thrown into close association with each other, and further acquaintance could only deepen the startling influence Beulah Sands had already won over my ordinarily sane and cool-headed comrade. As I looked at my friend, burning with an ardor as unaccustomed as it was impulsive, I felt a tug at my heart-strings at thought of the sudden cross-roadlng of his life's highway. But I. too. was filled with the

giamour or tnis prrs wondrous beauty, and her terrible predicament appealed to me almost as strongly as it had to Bob. So, although I knew it would be fatal to any chance of his weighing the matter by common tense, I burst out: "Bob, I don’t blame you for falling in with the girl's plans. If I were in your shoes I should, too.” Tears came to Bob’s eyes as he grabbed my hand and said: “Jim, how can I ever repay you for all the good things you have done for me—how can I!” It was no time to give way to emotional outbursts, and while Bob was getting his grip on himself, I went on: "Come along down to earth now, Bob; let us look at this thing squarely. You and I, with our position in the market, can do lots of things to help run that sixty thousand to higher figures, but six months is a short time and a million or two a world of money.” ’’She knows that,” he said, “and the time is much shorter and the road to go much longer than you figure,” he replied. “This girl is as high-ten-sioned as the E string on a Stradlvarius, and she declares she will have no charity tipi or unusual favors from us or anyone else. But let us not talk about that now, or we'U get discouraged. Let's do as she says

ana trust to uoa tor tne outcome. Are you willing. Jim, to take her into the office as a sort of confidential secretary? If you will, I’ll take charge of her account, and together we will do all that two men can for her and her father . CHAPTER 11. The following week saw Miss Sands, of Virginia, private secretary to the head of Randolph & Randolph, established In a littie office between mine and Bob’s. She had not been there a day before we knew she was a worker. She spent the hours going over reports and analyzing financial statements, showing a sagacity extraordinary in so young a person. She explained her knowledge of figures by the hand-work she had done for the judge, all of whose accounts she had kept Bob and I saw that she was bent on smothering her memory in that antidote for all ills of heart and soul —work. Her office life was simplicity itself. She spoke to no one except Bob, save in connection with such business matters of the firm s as I might send her by one of the clerks to attend to. To the others in the banking house she was just an unconventional young literary woman whose high social connections had gained her this opportunity of getting at the secrets of finance, from actual experience, for use tn forthcoming novels. It had got abroad that she was the writer of great distinction who, under a nom de plume, had recently made quite a dent in the world’s literary shell—a suggestion that I rightly guessed was one of Bob’s delicate ways of smoothing out her path. I had tried in every way to make things easy for her, but it was impossible for me to draw her out in talk, and finally I gave it up. Had it not been that every time I passed her office door I was compelled by the fascination which I had first felt, and which, instead of diminishing, had increased with her reticence, to look in at the auiet figure with the

aowncasr eyes, working away at ner desk as though her life depended on never missing a second, I should not have known she was in the building. My wife, at my suggestion, had tried to induce her to visit us; in fact, after I let her Into just enough of Beulah Sands' story so that she could see things on a true slant she had decided to try to bring her to our house to live. But though the girl was sweetly gentle in her appreciation of Kate’s thoughtful attentions, in her simple way she made us both feel that our efforts would be for naught, that her position must be the same as that of any other clerk in the office. We both finally left her to herself. Bob explained to me, some three weeks after she came to the cffice, that she received no visitors at her home, a hotel on a quiet uptown street, and that even he had never had permission to call upon her there. But from the day she came to occupy her desk in our office, Btffi was a changed man, whether for better or for worse neither Kate nor I could decide. His old bounding elasticity war gone, and with ft his rollicking laugh He was now a man where before hi had been a boy, a man with a burden. Even if I had not heard Beulah Sands' story, I should have guessed that Bob was staggering under a strange load While before, from the close of the stock exchange until its opening the next morning, he was. as Kata was

.Ona or putting u, always ready te fill | in for anything from chaperon to I nurse always open for any lark we planned from a Bohemian dinner to ’ the opera, now weeks went by without our seeing him at our house. In the office it used to be a saying that outside gong-strikes. Bob Brownley did not know he was In the stock business, i Formerly every clerk knew when Bob came or went, for it was with a rush, a shout, a laugh, and a bang of doors; and on the floor of the stock exchange no man played so many pranks, or filled his orders with so much jolly good-nature and hilarious boisterousness. But from the day the Virginian girl crossed his path, Bob Brownley was a man who was thinking, think- , ing, thinking all the time. It was only with an effort that he would keep his eyes on whomever he was talking with long enough to take in what was said, and if the saying occupied much time it would he apparent to the talker that Bob was off in the clouds. All his friends and associates remarked the change, but I alone, except perhaps Kate, had any idea of the cause I knew that two million dollars and the coming New Year were hurdling like kangaroos over Bob’s mental rails and ditches, though I did not know it from anything he told me, for after that talk on the upper deck of the Tribesman he had shut up like a clam. He did not exactly shun me, but showed me in many ways that he had entered into a new world, in which he desired to be alone. That Beulah Sands' plight had roused into intense activity all the latent romance of my friend’s nature, did not surprise me. I foresaw from the first that Bob would fall head over heels in love with thip beautiful, sorrowladen girl, and it was soon obvious that the longdelayed shaft had planted its point in the innermost depths of his being. His was more than love; a fervid idolatry now had possession of his soul, mind and body. Yet its outward manifestations were the opposite of what one would have looked for in this gay and optimistic southerner. It was rather priest-like worship, a calm imperturbability that nothing seemed to distract or upset, at least in the presence of the goddess who was its object. Every morning he would pass through my office headed straight for the little room she occupied as if it were his one objective point of the day, but onee he heard his own “Good morning, Miss Sands,” he seemed to round to, and while in her presence was the Bob Brownley of old. He would be in and out all day on any and every pretext, always entering with an undisguised eagerness, leaving with a slow, dreamy reluctance. That he never saw her outside the office, I am sure, for she said good-night to him when he or she left for the day, with the same don’t-come-with-me dignity that she exhibited to all the rest of us. I had not attempted to say a word to Bob about his feeling for Beulah Sands, nor had he ever brought up the subject to me. On the contrary, he studiously avoids (To be continued.) o WAS IN POOR HEALTH FOR YEARS. Ira W. Kelley, of Mansfield, Pa., writes: ”1 was in poor health for two years, suffering from kidney and bladder trouble, and spent considerable money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked benefit, but was cured by Foley’s Kidney Cure, and I desire to add my testimony that it may be the cause of restoring the health of others.” Refuse substitutes.
