It was not yet two o'clock In ’The afternoon, and darkness would not | f;iT until five, even unwisely assuming that it would be safe to approach | the place as soon as darkness came.

In that case—in that ease— T.ie young main sprang to his feet. Be would waste no more tiijje In specWatlon. He would know, and at once, Who was in that house with Doris. He swung back to the garage with depnnlnation in his manner, and en- ‘ the place so unexpectedly that pfirhe, who had fancied him a mile »way, started at the sight of him. Then, with a contented smile, he Rilled his nerves and kept his eyes ■.o' 6 ttle v *shor held before him. “See here,” said the latter.

Left alone, Laurie removed his coat ! and cap, searched the garage suecevjfully for grease, 611, waste and i siio/lilacklng, and then, establishing | himself In front of a broken mirror In j Burke's alleged office, removed hts collar and effected u startling transformation in the appearance of his : head, face, hands, and shirt. Beginning In his college days, and | continuing throughout his more reI cent theatrical experiences, the art of i make-up had Increasingly Interested i him. The people lu his pluys owed | something to his developing skill, and I even one of the leudlug ladies had 1 humbly taken suggestions from him. i But never In any stage dressing- | room hud young Mr. Devon secured a i more extraordinary change than the one ho produced now, with the simple aids at hand. When Burke returned he found his garage in charge of an unwashed, unkempt, unprepossessing young ruflian whom lie stared at for a full minute before he accepted him as the man he had left there. The ragged trousers, the spotted “reefer” buttoned high around the neck, the dirty cap pulled over the eyes, and ttie wholly disreputable broken shoes Burke bad brought with him completed the transformation of an immaculate young gentleman Into a blear-eyed follower of the open ronri. ~i 'TO HU CftVriMED) ’ GENEVA NEWS Dr. W.

Today ailments that took weeks to cure can now be ended in a few days. If you have varicose veins or bunches yon can start today to bring them back to normal size, and if you are wise you will do so. Just get an original bottle of Moone's Kmerald Oil at any dispens lug pharmacist and apply it night and morning to the enlarged veins. It is very powerful and penetrating, and only a little Is required. After a few days’ treatment, the veins will begin to grow smaller agd by regular use will sooii reduce to normal. Moone’s Emerald Oil is also a marvelous healing agent. One application for instance stops the itching ot eczema, and a few applications causes the eruptions to dry up. scale off and completely disappear. It is equally as effective in barber's itch, salt rheum, redness and inflammatory skin trouble. People who want to reduce varicose veins, or get rid of eczema, ulcers, or piles in a few days should not hesitate to get a bottle at once. It is so powerful that a small bottle lasts a long time.
