Often I was hardly able to straighten on account of the sharp, cutting pains across the small of my back and the least exer tion or any cold I contracted caused the kidney secretions to pass too frequently. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro cured at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store, cured me and at that time I publicly endorsed them.

The dispensers of poslam, a new skin discovery, ask that notice be giv en that no one is urged to purchase it without first obtaining an experi mental package. Those who have tried it will find that the fifty-cent box, on sale at W. H. Sudhoff s and all drug stores, is sufficient to cure the worst cases of eczema, where the surface affected is not too large. The itching ceases on first application. It will also cure acne, tetter, blotches scaly scalp, hives, barber's and every other form of itch, including itching feet.. Being flesh-colored and contain ing no grease, the presence of poslam on exposed surfaces, such as the face and hands, is not perceptible. Water and soap cannot he used in connection with it as these irritate and pro long skin troubles, sometimes even causing them. As to the experimental package of poslam. it can be had free of charge by mail of the Emergency Laborator ies, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street New York. It alone is sufficient to clear the complexion overnight and to rid the face of pimples in twenty-four hours. - MjlBT Eui: Gold Medal Floor Is the hue evenrthlaar. for

CHAPTER IL THE HAFRI80 STREET POI.ICK CO CRT. A. night In jail A rapid fire judge Th.4 young Utdy la not to portfire The psychology of jutU.ce H'hut't the matter cit JatonviUet I tell my atory to his honor. EH ERE was a greasy bench at one end of No. 12, where I sat myself down, feeling that 1 had come to the end of things in Chics go mighty quick. A measly gas jet above the door showed what a stinking hole I had got myself into. 1 could hear the gambling party across the way. laughing and talking, taking their lot rather easily. Pretty soon a man was put into the cell next mine. He kept groaning about his head. "My head," he would say. "oh, my head! My head, oh, my head!" until 1 thought my own head was going wrong. I wondered what had become of Hostetter. Apparently be had cleared out when be saw his chance friend getting Into trouble. Perhaps he thought I had been working with our smooth acquaintance all along. Then I thought what a fool I bad been to give my real name and borne to the desk sergeant Tomorrow the wise ones down in Jasonvllle would be calling Van Har rington bad names all over again and thinking bow clever they had been. Some bad smelling mess was shoved at me for supper, but I had no stomach for food, good or bad. Tbe Jail quieted down after a time, but I couldn't sleep. ' My mind was full of the past, of everything that had happened to me from the beginning. Only forty-eight hours before I had been tramping my way into the city as keen as a hungry steer for all tbe glory I saw there ahead of me andei the bank of smoke that was Chicago Boylike, I bad looked up at the big packing houses, the factories, the tab elevators that I passed and thought how one day I should be building my fortune out of them as others bad built theirs before me. And the end of that boyish dream was this bed in a Jail. The next morning they hustled us all Into court I was crowded into the pen along with some of the numerous Smiths and Joneses who hadn't been able to secure bail the night before. These were disposed of first in the way of routine business, together with a few drunks and disorderlies. There were also In the pen some sickly looking fellows who had been taken up for smoking opium in a Chinese cellar, a woman in whose bouse there had been a robbery and a well dressed man with a bandage over one eye. He must have been my neighbor of the bad head. The courtroom was pretty well Jammed with these prisoners, the police officers and a few loafers. The air smelled like a sewer, and the windows were foul with dirt The judge was a good looking, youngish man, with a curling black mustache, and he wore a diamond studded circlet around his necktie. Behind the Judge on the platform sat tbe young' woman whose purse I was accused of stealing and her father. She saw me when I was brought into the pen, but tried not to let me know It looking away all tbe time. When I arrived on the scene, the judge was administering an oath to a seedy looking man, who kissed eagerly the filthy Bible and began to mumble something in a hurry to the judge. "Yes, I know that pipe dream," his honor interrupted pleasantly. "Now, tell me the straight story of what yon have been doing since you were here last week." "You insnlt me. Judge," the prisoner replied haughtily. "I'm an educated man, a graduate of a great institution of learning. You know your Horace, judge?" "Not so well as the revised statutes of the state of Illinois," bis honor snapped back with what I thought was a lack of respect for learning. "Two months. Next!" "Why. judge r There was a titter in the courtroom as the graduate of a great university was led from the pen. His honor, wearing the same easy smile, was already listening to the next case. He flecked off a stray particle of soot that had lodged on tbe big pink in bis buttonhole as be remarked casually: "Is that so? Twenty-five dollars. It will be fifty the next time." The judge nodded blandly to the prisoner and turned to my neighbor of the night tbe man who had had so much trouble with his head. I was getting very uneasy. That smiling gentleman up there on tbe bench seemed to have his mind made up about most folks beforehand, and it didn't seem to be favorably inclined this morning. I was beginning to wonder bow many months be bad me dovn for already. It didn't add to my peace of mind to see him chatting genially with tbe old gentleman and his daughter as he listened to tbe poor criminals at tbe bar. His honor went on disposing of the last cases at a rapid rate, with a smile, a nod. a joke, and my time was coming nearer. Tbe sweat rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't keep my eyes off the young lady's face. Somehow I felt that she was my only hope of safety. Finally the judge leaned back in his chair and smelled at his pink, as If be had 'most finished his morning's work. The clerk called. "Edward V. Harrington. I jumped. "Well, Edward r the judge inquired pleasantly as I stood before him. "The first time we have had the pleasure. I believe?" I mumbled something, and the store detective began to tell his story. "Is that It doctor?" tile judge asked the old man. "Why. I suppose so. I don't know. He was caught in the act wasn't he?" Then as the old man sat aown he add

ed csBTviahly; "At least that wjut

daughter' say, and she ought to know. It was her purse, and she got me down here this morning." "How about It miss?" the judge asked quickly, wheeling his chair the other way and smiling at the young lady. "Did you see the prisoner here take your purse?" "Why. of course" She was Just going to say "yes" when her eyes caught mine for a moment and she hesitated. "No, I didn't exactly see him. but" Her look swept haughtily over my head. "But he was very close to me and was stooping down Just as I felt a jerk at my belt And then the purse was gone. He must have taken itr "Stooping to beauty possibly,, the Judge suggested. "Stooping to pick up the lady's handkerchief, which 1 saw her drop." I ventured to pur in. feeling that in another moment 1 should find myself blown into prison with a joke. "Oh! So you were picking up the lady's handkerchief? Very polite, 1 am surer His honor glared at me for an instant for tbe first time. "And you thought you might as well take the purse too? For a keepsake, eh?" He bad wheeled around to face me. A sentence was on his lips. I could feel it coming and hadn't an Idea how to keep It back. I looked helplessly at the young woman. Just as his honor opened his mouth to speak she ex claimed: "Wait a moment! I am not sure be doesn't look bad. I thought judge,! you could tell whether he bad really taken my purse." she ended reproachfully. "Do you consider me a mind reader, miss?" tbe judge retorted, suspending that sentence In midair. "Let him say something! ' Let him ten his story," the young lady urged. "Perhaps be isn't guilty after all. 1 am sure he doesn't look it" "Why, Sarah r the old gentleman gasped Irs astonishment Ton said this morning at breakfast that you were sure be bad stolen it" Here the detective put in bis oar. "I know him and the one that was with him. They're old sneaks, your honor." "That's a tier I said, finding any tongue at last "Good!" the judge exclaimed appreciatively. "I am inclined to think so. too, Edward," he went on, adjusting his diamond circlet with one finger. "This young lady thinks yon have a story of your own. Have you?" "Yes, I have, and straight one," I answered, plucking up my courage. "Of course." he grunted sarcastically. "Well, let's have it but make it abort" It did sound rather lame when 1 came to tell what I had done with my self since 1 had entered tbe city. When Sarnh. I got to that part about the house where Ed and I had been disturbed by thieves, tbe old gentleman broke in "Bless ay soul! That must be tin Wordens bouse. The oUcer said there were two suspicious characters wbr ran sway op the boulevard. This fel low must be eae of them. Of course he took tbe puree! You know tn Wordens. don't you. Judge?" His honor merely nodded to tbe old gentlemsa. smiled at tbe young lad; and said to me: Go r-j. . vouzt maa Tell'ns whj IV Before that trip With tronkcr grip m

yen left Louie ia the first place." X got red all over again at this invitation and was taken with a sew panic -Who are yonr folks? What's the name of the place?" the Jdgo asked encouragtngty. "JasonvUle. lad," "What's tbe matter wK& JmwfDm.

Edwardr be asked more "Why do yea Mask for Itf "I had rather not tell with all folks around." I answered, looking at the young lady. His honor most have found something la my ease a little oat of hss ordinary experience, far he took me back Into his own room. He got me started on my story, and one thing led te another, nis manner changed all of a sudden. He no longer tried to be smart and be seemed to bare plenty of time. After that long night la tbe Jail I wanted to talk. So I told his honor jnst how It had been with me from the beginning. (Continued Sunday.)
