PEG IN HEBE TODAY Hope Hunger, daughter of Loring Banger, ia missing and a reward of a hundred thousand dollars is offered by her wealthy father for her safe return. Assisting in the search for Hope are her father's two friends, Eustice Higby. attorney, and Jaurez Charley, adventurer. A command comes from Hope's abductors for Banger to deposit in a specified place a hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds. This is done according to instructions. At Dr. Bristow's sanitarium a friendship arises between Dr. George Kelsey, who is detained there, and Vera Copley, patient, who is registered as Nurse Anita Copley's sister. Alderman Higgins is making hie home at the hospital and Dr. Morton ia an assistant there. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY S HE was sane. He knew it. He could not be deceived. The idea that a person of her selfcontrol, her clear perception, was harboring a delusion was nonsense. ‘And if she said she was Hope Ranger, it was so. He believed her. He required no proof beyond her simple word. Doctor-like, though, he kept mentally buttressing his decision with arguments from the books, and it struck him that he had read only a day or two before a passage which seemed to have a direct application. He reached over to his book-shelf to take down the volume he wanted and as he did so, a folded, yellow piece of newspaper dropped out—that fragment of Sunday supplement. He had thrust it In there as a bookmark. Spreading It out on the table, he studied its array of portraits. There could no longer be any doubt. The hair was arranged differently, but the features, the contour, the expressions were the same as Verna Copley’s. CHAPTER XIV Throughout the night Kelsey sat in his chair. The thought of going to bed did not even occur t. him. On only one point could he think clearly, or come to a decision —he must see the girl without delay, at the earliest possible moment. He must warn her to be on her guard, to question every move or suggestion of those about her.

DRINK WATER WHEN KIDNEYS HURT VOD When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a wellknown authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather Is bad iou have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, chan aels often get sere, water ecalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or Three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ( ounces of JaJ Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Uthia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpesive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.

she would not be allowed on the grounds. The sun, though, tvas rising on a model June day, rare enough for any poet's praise. He knew that there was no chance of her appearing before 10 o’clock; and so after breakfast he went to the office and pretended to be deep In his research work, although his eyes were constantly seeking the clock. On the stroke of ten, he hurried out, but only to find her closely attended by the nurse who had been with her the day before. The same thing was true at eleven, and again at twelve. But when he made his next reconnoissance, his heart leaped. Hope, as he called her now to himself, was sitting alone on the stone bench where he had talked to her the day before. She was writing on her pad as usual, and the nurse had turned her attention to a more difficult patient. Kelsey sat down a foot or two away from her, and pretended to watch the men pulling down the wall. The girl went on scribbling, her face turned a little away from Kelsey; but as he seated himself she began talking low and fast. "Let me talk first,” she said. “I’ve got to make clear to you my plan, for getting away, while I have the chance. Dr. Bristol Is going to town this evening?” “Oh, yes,” he answered. "I heard him on the telephone this morning telling the chairman that he would be at the meeting without fail.” “Then we can manage it!” There was a thrill in her voice. “Listen." And while she scribbled, she unfolded to him a plan so simple and yet so supremely audacious that it ook his breath. Before she had half finished, he had caught her idea and was on fire with it. t He drew his cap down over his eyes, and clasping his hands behind his head, stretched his feet out lazily. The nurse came toward them, and Hope, with a swift movement, slipped her pencil beneath her on the bench. She looked nervously about and then as the woman stood before her, she glanced up with troubled appeal. “I’ve lost my pencil,” she said. “I was writing a beautiful story, but what can I do without a pencil?” Kelsey, as If he hadn’t noticed her before, took a pencil from his pocket and handed it to her. She thanked him and began to write again. “She’ll keep that up for hours," the nurse smiled at Kelsey. “Not a word out of her and never moving from the spot. Lucky for me. 'too. Her sister is on list and I’ve got charge of Verna, but my hands are full this afternoon with Miss Susy Doane. She’s seeing mashers peeping out from behind every bush, trying to ffcrt with her.” She was interrupted by a scream. The patient she had just left was backing away in (error from a passing ardener. “All right. Miss Susy,” called the nurse. “He won’t speak to you. I’ll j be right there and protect you.” She turned to the girl on the bench. "Now, you’ll stay here, dear, until I come for you, won’t you?" Then she I hurried away. "There’s only one thing that bothers me,” Hope resumed the discussion of their plan, "and that’s the question of time. They force us to go in at 6 o’clock, you know, and you may not be able to do your part so soon. If not, I must stay behind.” “I will never leave without you,” Kelsey declared firmly. They talked a moment or two longer, and then Kelsey, giving a start as if he had just awakened from a •everie, got up and walked back to the house. His sleepless night, the full realization of the dangers that threatened Hope, the feeling that he was about :o embark on the most momentous tdventure of his life had left him haggard and pale. Back in thf* office again, he worked steadily for a few minutes, and then dropped his pen and pressed his hand to his temples with an uncontrollable groan. “Something the matter. Doctor?” Bristow’s secretary, who was working across the room, looked up sympathetically. ' “A touch of my old enemy, neuralgia.” Kelsey answered. “I slept In a draft last night.” “Why don’t you lay off?' urged he secretary. “I'll explain to Dr. Bristow.” “No,” said Kelsey drearily; “I’ll stick. It’s rather important to get these notes off this afternoon. I had a pretty bad twinge just now. but it may pass away.” But again and again during the afternoon, he writhed in unmistakable rain. After the secretary left at 5 o’clock, he made hardly any pretense at writing, but sat with his head in his hands, twisting about in his chair as each fresh paroxysm seized him. At about ten minutes of six Bristow came in, wearing a cap and a mo tor coat over his evening clothes, ready to start for town, and he at once noticed the conditiop of his collaborator. “What’s wrong man?” he asked ouickly. "You look done up.” "One of my ghastly neuralgia attacks.” Kelsey tried to suppress another groan. “I’m afraid I haven’t be-in able to accomplish much this afternoon. The darned thing has bee growing worse all day, and although I’ve tried all my usual remedies, I don’t seem to get on top of it. I’m wondering if you will give me a shot of morphine—a good stiff one?” “Surely.” Bristow laid down his gloves, and passing into a lavatory just off the office, prepared his hypodermic. At last, the Doctor was back. Kelsey had already taken off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeve, and now he apathetically extended his left arm. But as Bristow bent over to apply the needle, Kelsey’s right shot up In a quick, wicked smash to the Doctor’s jaw. A good boxer in his college days, he had never driven to the button with a better aim. Bristow’s head snapped back, and lifted fairly off his feet, he went backward to land across a leather couch several feet away, where he lay dead to the world. Kelsey snatched the hypodermic from the floor, and jerking open the cuff 'of Bristow’s shirt, pushed it

oack and drove the needle into his arm. “There, I guess that will hold you for a while!” As he straightened up, the clock was on the stroke of six. This was the hour when tho nurses and attendants would be shepherding in the patients, and the veranda would be deserted. With one vindictive glance at the unconscious Bristow, Kelsey walked out of the office and locked the door behind him. There was no one about. Even the chauffeur was not in sight, having left the big, gray car in the Roadway, while he strolled arouncl to the side of the house to engage In badinage with one of the attendants. Kelsey’s eyes swept the lawn. Hope was nowhere to be seen. For one ter-i.-ble second be thought the game was up—and then he saw her. She was clinging to one of the porch pillars, obstinately resisting all the efforts of the nurse to disengage her. Kelsey took a step toward them and the nurse saw. him. “Do help me, Dr. Kelsey,” she begged. “I don’t know what’s got into her. She’s usually so amenable, but now she refuses to go in. I’ve sent for her sister; but maybe. If you’ll speak to her, she'll llsten.” Kelsey waved the woman to stand aside and laid his band on Hope’s ann. jL If yielding to a superior will, she let go of the pillar; and with the manner of soothing her, he led her along the veranda. “Now,” he said w r hen they reached the steps leading down to the drive; and, catching her hand, h* rushed her down and swu3fe her up into Bristow’s
