Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is richer in food values and lower in alcohol than any other beer. The reason is

simple. Pabst brews for food values, and intentionally decreases the percentage of alcohol. To secure the highest

percentage of food values in Pabst BlueRibbon The Beer of Quality Pabst perfected the 8-Day Malting Process which gives to Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer more

nutriment, more muscle-building properties than could be obtained by any other process, and the Pabst Brewing Process transmits these food values to the beer in liquid form, making

"If you were called on to stand In Fhilip Anson's boots during the next week or ten days, my good friend." he quietly retorted, "you would be afraid sixty times in every hour. Your job has nearly ended; mine has barely commenced. Now leave me." Nevertheless he quitted that chamber of death carrying with him nil that he needed and hurrying over the task while he could yet hear the dogcart rattling down the hill. He commenced with an Inventory of Philip's pockets. Ilis eyes sparkled at the sight of a well filled pocketbook. with a hundred pounds In notes stuffed therein, cards, a small collection of letters, and other odds and ends. Among Philip's books was Evelyn's hurried note of that morning, and on it a penciled memo

he least resembled Philip. "Ueing a

man or a fairs, Anson promntlv went

to the Morlands' solicitors. I was sure

of it. I wonder how Jiinmie arranged matters with Sharpe. I will know tomorrow at York." A checkbook In another pocket added to his joy. "The last rock out of my path!" he cried aloud. "That saves two days. The bait took. By Jove! I'm in luck's way!" There was now no need to write to Philip's bank for a fresh book, which was his first daring expedient.

Ue seated himself at a table and wrote Philip's signature several times to tetrt his hand. At last It was steady. Then he put a match to a lire all ready for lighting and burned Philip's hat, collar, shirt and underclothing; also the blood stained towel. When the mass of clothing was smoldering black and red he threw a fresh supply of coal on top of it. The loss of the hat did not trouble him. lie possessed one of the same shape and color. He was quietly smoking a cigar and practicing Philip's voice between tho puffs when Mason returned with the valet. The scene, carefully rehearsed by Grenier In all its details, passed off

rleman who does not expect to pay a

protracted visit an evening dress suit, a light overcoat, a tweed suit and a small supply of boots and linen. A tiny dressing case fitted into a special receptacle, and ou top of this reposed a folded document. Grenier opened it. Mason looked over his shoulder. It was headed: "Annual Report of the Mary Anson Home For Destitute Boys." Mason coarsely cursed both the home and its patron, but Grenier laughed pleasantly. "The very thing!" he cried. "Look here!" And he pointed to an indorsement by the secretary: "For signature if approved of." "I will sign and return it, with a

nice typewritten letter, tomorrow from York. Abingdon is one of the governors. Oh, I will bamboozle them rare-

"This blooming charitv will hel n von

"Nothing hotter. Let us co out fnr a

They went down the hill and ontorWl

the rough country road that wound nn

from Scarsdale to the clio. Throuch

the faint light of a summer's niirht

they saw a man approaching.

It was a policeman. "Absit omen," said Grenier softly.

What's thutr

"Latin for a cod. You comnlniTi

my want or nerve. Watch me now." He halted the policeman and mo

tioned him about the localitv, the direction of the roads, the villages on tho coast He explained pleasantly that he was a Londoner and an utter stranger In these parts. "You are staying at the Grange House. sirV" said the man In his turn. "Yes. Come here todar, in fact" "I saw you, sir. is the gentleman who drove you from Scarsdale staving there too? I met you on the road. "and he seemed to know me." Grenier silently anathematized fcis

.-itiuwues,s. policemen In rural Yorkshire were not as common as policemen in Oxford street. It was the same man whom he had encountered hours ago. "Oh, he is a doctor. Yes, he resides in the Grange House." "You won't End much room for a party there, sir," persisted the constable. "I don't remember the gentleman at all. What is his name?" "Dr. Williams. He is a genial sort of fellow-nods to anybody. Take a cigar. Sorry I can't ask you to go up and have a drink, but there is illness In the place." The policeman passed on. "Illness." he said, glancing at the gloomy outlines of the farm. "How many of 'em are in f place, and who's Ton dark lookin' chap. I wonder? My, but his face would stop a clock!"

CHAPTER XIX. EXT morning Mason trudged off to Scarsdale at an early hour. He ascertained that Green had nuirrpd ihn p,t

and Hounds inn in time to catch the first train. He returned to Grange House with the dogcart and drove Grenier to Scarsdale with his hitrirarre. nitin..

of Philip's portmanteau and his own together with a hatbox. He touched his cap to Grenier when the latter smiled affably on him from the luxury of a first class carriage, and he pocketed a tip with a grin. A porter was also feed lavishly, and the station master was urbanity itself as he explained the junctions and the time London would be reached

j Left to himself, Mason handed over the dogcart to the hostler at the ir.n, j paid for its hire and again walked to i the deserted farm. He surveyed every

men or me ground floor, carefully raking over the ashes in the grate, scrubbed the passages with a hard broom and water, packed somo few personal belongings in a small bag and set out again, after locking the door securely, for a long tramp over the moor. Nino miles of mountain road would bring him to another line of railway. Thence he would book to London and travel straight through, arriving at the capital late at night and not makin? th

slightest attempt to communicate with Grenier en route. There was little fear of comment or

inquiry caused by the disann.lir,n

of the inhabitant? of th r?,

House. He and "Dr." Williams were the only residents even slightly known to the distant village. Such stores as they needed they had iaid for. The house was hired for a month from an agent In the county town and the rent paid in advance. It was not clear who owned the place. The agent kept it on his books until some one should claim it. As the murderer walked and smoked his reflections were not quite cheerful now that he could cry "quits" with Philip Anson.

Ilis experiences of the previous night were not pleasant. Neither he not Grenier went to bed. They dozed uneasily in chairs until davlight, and then they admitted that they Lad committed Anson's body to the deep in s moment of unreasoning panic. He might be found, and even if he were not identified that confounded policeman might be moved to investigate Che proceedings of the curious visitors to Grange House. That was the weak part of their armor, but Grenier refuse! in ,i,r,n-

w " w the flaw.

"A naked man found in the sea and he may never be found has not necessarily been thrown from a balcony 300 feet above sea level. The notion Is grotesque. No constabulary brain could conceive it. And who Is he? Not Philip Anson. Philip Anson Is alive. Not Dr. Williams. Any Scarsdale man will say that. And vour best friend, Mason, would not take'him for you." But Mason was not satisfied. Better have buried the corpse on the lonely farm In the garden for choice. Then they would know where he was. The sea was too vague. Of pity for his victim ho had not a jot. Had Philip Anson pitied him or his wife or his two children? They, too. were dead in all probability. While in London he had made every sort of Inquiry, but always encountered a blank wall of negation. John and William Mason, even if they lived, did not know he was their father. They were

lost to him utterly. Curse Philip Anson. Let him be forgotten anyway. Y'et he contrived to think of him during the nine weary miles over the moor, during the long wait at the railway station and during the slow hours of the journey to London. On arriving at York. Grenier secured a palatial suit at the Station hotei, entering his name in the register as "Philip Anson."

He drove to the postofhee and asked j If there was any message for "Grenier." ' Yes. it read: Family still at Penzance. Persuaded friend that letter was or.ly Intended to create unpleasantness with uncle. lie took sama view and returned to town. Will say nothing. (To be Continued.)
