Prof. Wi!!ard H. Morse, M.D., and Fellow ol the London Society of Science, who has made a careful study of Munyon's PawPaw as a cure for Catarrh, says : "Munyon's Paw-Paw cures Catarrh through a physiological action which removes all foul and unhealthy mucus of a catarrhal character. It renovates the mucus surfaces, drives out the catarrhal poison wherever it finds lodgment, cleans house, as it were, and in so doing cures Catarrh or Gastritis, and restores healthful conditions."

Catarrh is a National Disease. It affects the Head, Throat, Kidneys, Stomach and Liver, through acute-or chronic inflammation of the membranes and tissues. In its train and because of its inroads on the systemfollows Consumption and other fatal diseases. A person who has good digestion and pure blood rarely has Catarrh or Rheumatism. Therefore, the remedy that will put the stomach and blood in condition will surely cure those diseases. There is not a

DONALD

DONALDSON.

Copyright, 1C0C5, by Charles W. Hooke (Continued.) "What is it all about? I don't know." He had a despondent and tormented air, and the eight of it carried me back a good many years to the day when 1 had first seen his father. It was impossible to shake my mind free of this memory. The scene of long ago in Bertram's eating house recurred with startling vividness. I was aware of a strange sensation that this was something for which I had been waiting a long expected occurrence. There came to me also an indescribable depression of spirit and a sense of chill. "Do you mean" I began. But he begged me hastily not to ask him anything. "This is a queer business. Uncle John," said he. "I think I'm on the point of getting myself into all kinds of a tangle, and I don't want to do it the very first day I'm home. Please let me think it over." "Speak when you are ready, Donald," said I. "It was always a habit of yours." We were interrupted by the advent of Dorothy, who had come down from the house in a pony phaeton. She wore a sober gray gown, but it had the dainty grace of all her raiment. Dorothy never takes any pains to dress either young or old. Her clothes are for Dor othy. They would not suit anybody else, and they have nothing to do with years. Donald surveyed her with affectionate admiration. "My incredible mother!" said he, drawing her close to him and looking down into ber face. Then I saw the tears come suddenly into his eyes. lie drew a quick, deep breath and stood sharply erect, so that he seemed to grow both in breadth and height, while she looked almost like a frightened child in the embrace of his arm. "Be careful!" she cried, with a gasp and a laugh. "You will break my bones!" "Did I hurt you, little mother?" said he. "Well, by the same token, nobody else ever shall." "To what do we owe the honor of this visit?" I asked Dorothy, and she replied that she had come to take my nephew, Carleton Archer, across to the town of Sol way, where our other factory was situated. Archer was an able, energetic and ambitious young man who had been brought into my service about two years before to be Donaldson's assistant and lighten his burdens. He lived at my house and was the leading spirit in all our recreations, lie was blessed with unfailing activity of mind and body. He could both work and play at the same time. Often he has come to me at midnight with business plans that he had thought out during the evening, an evening devoted to ceaseless gayety of the somewhat childish sort in which he found his chief delight and relaxation. He was an enthusiast for the gentler forms of athletics, such as women may indulge in, and as a result of his efforts there were tennis courts upon .our lawn and golf links on the south slope of the hill. After Dorothy and Carl had ridden away in the phaeton Donald remained with me until luncheon time, when be and his father and I walked up to the bouse together. The boy was not quite himself, rs any one could see and I Dr. PIERCES FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION o. i3 4 CURES BACKACHE NERVOUSNESS HEADACHE

By HOWARD FIELDING was consumed with curiosity to Enow what lay on his mind, but experience taught me to ignore the subject Donald spent the afternoon with bis mother, who returned from Solway, which was only a matter of five miles distant, in time for luncheon. In the evening he disappeared, and I found ""Be careful!" she cried. him about 0 o'clock sitting on the steps of the office. I don't know how 1 happened to go down there and should be inclined to include it among the mysteries of the affair. "Uncle John," said he when I sat down beside him. "jou told m that 1 could ask you whatever I pleased Will you tell me whether you are sur rounded by thoroughly trustworthy people in your business?" This was a rather startling question, and I answered it with another: "Do you know anything to the con trary?" "No," he replied. "If I did. I'd tell you, of course. I don't know anything, but 1 feel a lot! Is Mr. Buun a good man?" I replied that old Jim Bunn had been with me for thirty years and might be hanked upon so long as he lasted, which couldn't be very long, poor fellow, since his health was so bad. He then asked me a similar question in regard to every other person holding a position of any consequence in the company, even including his own father, though of course it was not a query in this case, but a nai.-e aud boyish expression of confidence. I answered soberly for them all that they were good men. and true and even entered into some explanation of my method of judging men. Donald seemed rather discouraged than cheered. "It must be something else," said he. "You have a feeling that all's not right here," said I. "Is that why you came home so suddenly?" "Yes, sir," he replied, and then, with hesitation: "Do you believe there's anything queer about me? I've always had an impression that you thought I wasn't quite quite right. There have been some stories about me." "Both your parents," said I, "possessed a power which I once thought myself competent to define and explain, but 1 have grown more modest." "Once possessed it?" he echoed, with what I might call joyful animation. "Then it's something a person can get rid of, outgrow? You don't always have to have it?" "I think you know more about the subject than I do," was my answer, "and if you don't now you will some day." "I'd like to have you tell me about my father and mother and the things that they did," said he, "but I mustn't ask you, because I tried to get it out of them long ago, and they didn't want me to know." I applauded this view, and so we spoke of other subjects as we walked home together. ' CHAPTER VI. MYSTERY OF THE EXPECTED ROBBER (CONTINUED). ABOUT 5 o'clock in the following afternoon Donald came to me as I sat alone in my workroom at the office. "Uncle John," said he, "I have decided to make a startling and terrible fool of myself once and for all and have it over with. If I do, you'll forgive me, won't you? I wish you'd give me permission to do any Idiotic thing that comes into my mind. It's better than getting drunk, as some fellows at college do, and running around with all kinds of people, but their parents forgive them." I told him that It would Indeed be a startling and terrible thing which could make him any less ray boy than he had always been. "Then it's all settled," said he, "and here goes!" He strode up to a safe thatwiya in.

the room, a small safe compared to those in the outer office, yet of a new style and very strong.

'In that safe," said he, "there are two packages of money. They are In brown paper, with rubber bands around them. One of them is not quite ' so thick as a pack of cards, and the other Is thicker than two packs. The larger one Is on top." "The larger one is on top?" I repeat ed. "How do you know that?" I know It uncle," be replied. "That's all 1 can say." "It is Important in such matters as this," said I. "to distinguish between the knowledge that can come from reading another person's mind and that which proceeds directly from the heart of nature. It is the latter class which is deepest down in this realm of mystery. Now. I know that there are two such packages as you describe In that safe, but if you know which of them is on top you must have got your Information direct, without the Interposition of another mind, for only one human being besides yourself ever knew, and he has forgotten. In fact I'm not sure that I could have told you the next instant after I had put them there. I don't believe that my mind took any cognizance of the relative position." "Let's have a look at them." said he eagerly. "If I should be wrong" He did not finish the sentence, but I could see that he felt the invariable joy of the true psychic in any suggestion or prospect of failure. Meanwhile I was opening the safe. It contained nothing except a few documents of mine and the money. We had intended to use it for some books of the Tunbridge branch, a little independent railroad which connects our town with the trunk line, but an unexpected and somewhat mysterious opposition had arisen among the executive officers of this insignificant corporation, and so the headquarters remained at the June tion. in the forthcoming annual meet ing this would all be rectified, as we controlled a majority of the stock. I swung open the outer doors and then unlocked the inner ones and my private drawer, in which lay the pack ages,, the larger of them on top. I rais ed them with my finger sufficiently for Donald to see and then dropped them back. He nodded many times in a slow and rather solemn fashion. "Does anybody else know they're there?" he asked. "Your father," said I, adding, with a smile: "But he didn't know how they lay or' even that they were in my private drawer. He had the combination of the safe, but I have all the keys of the drawers and of the inner doors." "The larger package," said Donald in a monotonous tone, as if he were repeating a lesson, "contains $32,000; the smaller contains $8,000. The bills are of many denominations. I don't know why." "The money came from several sources," said I. "It is to be used in payment for part of what is known as the Hackett interest Mr. Hackett was my partner, who died many years ago. He left a considerable part of his interest to an aunt, whose children have since inherited it. It is her oldest son whom we are going to buy out. Of course, we can pay him by check, but for certain reasons we wanted to have a good supply of legal tender on hand." "That's Mr. William Hackett, isn't it?" asked Donald. "I remember seeing him here last winter when I was at home. He's the man with ths red face, red whiskers, red hair everything red, even his necktie, as I recall him." "That's the man," said I. "Well, uncle," he returned, "I hope Mr. Hackett may get the money, if that's your intention, but there's another man after it." I perceived that we had got down to the root of the matter. "Another man?" I queried. "There is a pale, hard featured man, with prominent ears and a brutal look about the mouth," said the boy. "He has lips that are as stiff and hard as iron. His chin has a little peaked point with a queer dimple that looks like a shot hole. The left side of his mouth is lower than the right. He is coming here for this money. He is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and of medium weight, a trifle thin perhaps. I can't say how old he is, but his hair is grizzled, though I wouldn't wish to speak definitely about that, for I never saw him with his hat off." "You've seen him?" I exclaimed. Donald smiled at me, and, extending his hand, he tapped upon the drawer of the safe. I understood immediately that he had not seen the individual in the ordinary way of mortal vision. "You think that he is coming here for this mojjey?" said I. "Uncle, I know it," replied Donald. "I know that he intends to get this money and that he feels perfectly sure about it, and, the worst of it is, that I keep having the impression of his getting it unless something very unusual, something quite out of the ordinary, happens to prevent. I don't seem to "have any confidence in the strength of the safe or in our watchman, and I don't know whether it would do any good to take the money and put it somewhere else." "What do you want us to do?" I asked. "Set a special watch?" "The thing that would please me best," he replied, "would be' to have this matter a secret between you and me. Can't we do that. Uncle John? Don't tell my father or mother or anybody. Just let me wander down here every evening and sleep on that couch. Nobody need know, and if nothing happens you won't laugh at me." I answered that I could not allow him to take the risk, and I held to this opinion although he protested that there was no ground for alarm. "This man wouldn't make a luncheon for me, uncle," said he, squaring his broad shoulders. "I'd be positively ashamed to lay a hand upon him in violence. Besides. I'll bring down my

shotgun if you'd feel any safer."

We discussed the matter for a few minutes, with the result that I tele phoned to New York for a detective whom I have occasionally consulted. He Is at the head of one of the best private bureaus and prides himself upon a personal acquaintance with every criminal of consequence In the country. " , That evening after dinner Donald and I went out for a walk, and In a secluded place which had been designated in advance we met Mr. Graves Reedy, the detective. When the case , was unfolded to this astute and experienced man, he confessed that he not ed in it some slight flavor of the unusual. "I ain't exactly accustomed to having descriptions come in this way, said he, "but I'll tell you one thing right oft the griddle I know the man. I ain't seen him in some time and thought he was out of business. It was said that he'd gone to Australia, and then I was told that he was dead. But, dead or alive, David Creel, alias Williams, alias Carney, is the man." "You recognize him?" said I. He spread out his hands as one who dismisses a matter that is all settled. "Perfect" said he. "There's only one Scotch Davy that's his nickname. He's a safe blower, and a good one. He must be sixty years old by this time." "He didn't look it," said Donald. "He's a well preserved man," rejoined the detective, "or was the last time I saw him. He's always lived right; never dissipated or had any bad habits. He was a good man in his way and kind to his family. Did you notice how he was dressed?" "A sort of dark sack suit, as I remember," replied Donald. "Kind of a reddish brown?" "Yes, with a faint red stripe." "You mean what they call an invisible check," said the detective "stripes up and down and cross ways?" "Precisely." Reedy rubbed his head. "That's the suit he was wearing nine years ago when I saw him last," said he. "Can't have it yet Be worn out before this time. By gee! It begins to look as if he was dead." He laughed softly and then became serious. "My advice to you, Mr. Harrington." said he. "is just this: Leave the whole business to me. If there's anything in this, we'll nip the man right here. If there isn't anything in it. you don't want a word said. Am I right?" I assented, but ventured to inquire what steps he intended to take. "I'll hang around." said he. "If Scotch Davy is going to do this job, he's been in town to look the ground over. If he was going to do it tonight, he'd come gently walking in from one of the neighboring towns about 10 o'clock or so and lav around behind a fence till it was time to operate. That's his way on a job like this. I know him. I'll bet a hat that I can go lay down in a place where Davy will fall over me if he's our man. I know him as well as that." "Where would it be?" 1 inquired with interest, for I like these men of fine instinctive perception who can foresee the acts of their natural enemies. "There's a path coiues-up across lots from the railroad station," he replied. "It splits in a field, and one half of it runs up to your office, as you call it while the other goes to Elm street just at the junction with jour private way. Davy will loaf along that path because that's where nobody ever goes at night." It struck me as a distinct probability. I asked whether Reedy thought that there was any chance of Mr. Creel's "operating" immediately, and he replied that he saw no reason for delay. "If he knows the stuff's there." said he, "tonight's as good as any other. I advise you to sit up pretty late, so that if any message conies from me you won't have to stop to dress. Maybe I'll get him on his first round. With a fellow like that there's no use of waiting till he actually breaks in. Considering his record, we can send him up anyhow, whether he does anything or not. The judge'll know that Scotch Davy wasn't out here for the scenery. So you can't tell when you may hear from me." Donald suggested that we might get into the office secretly and wait there without a light It would be handier than going to the house. This was pronounced too risky by Reedy. We might frighten Mr. Creel away. It would be easy, however, to get into the main factory building and wait la a certain little room in the end nearest the office. We might stay there as late as would be possible without exciting alarm at the house and then go home. This plan was adopted, and we effected an entrance into the factory building without the knowledge or my watchman, a detail upon which Reedy insisted. While this project was in process of execution the detective secured a private word with me. "This ain't any trance," said he. referring to Donald's disclosure. "If it was, I'd say, 'Nothing doing!' I don't believe in that sort of thing. But your young friend's got some kind of a dead straight tip. He knows what he's talking about He don't know as much as he pretends to. Take that business about the suit of clothes as an example. He merely followed my lead. But what he does know for certain is that somebody's after that money, and he i... t.n tltof thnv dnn't (rot Y ttii 1 5 IU ilia fet: ouic hju . imij ait. And that description is no dream.
