PAGE NINE

Copyright, 1916. by, the McClur A Morm was blowing on the mountains and the great rain clouds drifted over the 'forests. Before the blasts two girls were hurrying homeward with their flocks of goats. The older one, whose name was Rita, ran ahead, paying but little attention to the animals, but the smaller one, Oretchen, stayed back in spite of the tempest and saw that even the tiniest went safely down the path. But when the two girls got back to their widowed mother's 'cottage they found that a lame goat was missing. "I will go and hunt for it," said Gretchen. "You are - very foolish," laughed Rita. "Better stay home out of the storm and let that old sheep alone." But Gretchen did not listen. Out Into the rain she ' went, . far up the mountain, till at last she heard the cry of a goat in a cleft in- a rock. The animal had fallen down into a deep cavern and was unable to get out, so it lay there bleating sadly. Down the great boulder the girl slipped and slid till at last she was by the side of the poor goat. Then she took it in her arms, and 1 pushing back the bushes at once side, tried to get out of the rain. - What was her surprise o find that she was'ln a narrow passage. Following this she found herself in a great cave which was all of carved white rock. About on all sides were beautiful statutes of stone, and from the center hung a bright light that shed a pink glow over the lovely spot. In the center of the cave was a great chair of red velvet and on this sat a troll. . "Ob, oh! so you are the kind little girl who goes out in storms to find , her lost, lame goat?" said the troll, In a pleasaqt voice. "I could not leave poor Bub to die,' said Gretchen. "He is my pet, and I would take any risk to help him.""I have watched you two sisters on . the mountain with your herds for some time," continued the troll. "But I fear Rita is selfish." Gretchen knew this was true, but not wishing to speak unkindly of her sister, kept silent. "Sit down," said the troll, clapping his hands loudly. At the sound there came trooping In six little gnomes, all dressed in red and bearing in their hands golden dishes full of cakes and nice things of all kinds. They brought out a table of silver, put the dishes on it, then stood back against the wall. Out from somewhere in the roof there floated the sound of low, sweet muBlc, then the singing as if of a hundred birds. Gretchen was almost speechless with surprise and delight. "This is my mountain home, which I have spent my lire in preparing," said the troll. "You are the first human to enter, and bad it not been for your kindness of heart, you would not have come. I am glad you did, for my days are few on earth, and before I go I wish to carry out ray godmother's wish," lie touched a bell, and as soon as the chime sounded a little green goblin floated in with a tray on which was an ebony box all inlaid with golden filigree work. "This is a magic box," explained the troll, placing it on the table before Gretchen. "My grandmother lived for a while among the people of your world, and was fond of some of them, but many she disliked. She told me ' that if any human being ever visited me t was to offer them this, and if ' they were of the right kind it would open and give them a treasure which they would know how to use." Gretchen took up the box and saw written on it Jn letters of pearl the following verse: v - "I find heart Is aod and kind Ik not fear what you shall find. Open wide this magic lid: Treasure for you here is hid. If you are unkind and cold You will never find the gold. Only pain and fright you'll see If you bo unworthy be." "Now, Gretchen," said the troll, "I want you to open the box. I do not think you will be disappointed if you do." But the girl hesitated. She was not vain, and she did not Imagine that because she was trying to be kind to everyone this was anything unusual. But she thought it best to try. The troll would not ask her to do a thing which "would harm her. So she opened the box with trembling hands. THE TROLL'S TREASURE Part II. The light flashing down Into the box showed the astonished girl that it was full of jewels. Rings and lockets of pearl, bracelets of rubies and dia monds in chains sparkled and gleamed till her eyes were dazzled. "Those are all yours," said the troll, smiling at Gretchen's surprise. "My mother was fond of jewels when a girl, and wanted some one who lived on the earth above-to have them. She also left me a bag of gold money to give to the one who was found wor thy to wear her gems, for if you had HOT TEA BREAKS A COLO TRY THIS Get a small package of Hamburg Brest Tea, or as the German folk call it. "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of ; the tea, put a cup of boiling water on : it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacupful at any time. It is the most effective way tp break up a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, re- ' lleving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore harmless. Adv.

Newspaper Syndicate, New York, not been the light kind you would not have gotten this treasure, but instead seen the box full of ugly things. "The storm is over," continued the troll, rising. "I will show you the path out by an easy way." So, leading the goat and holding in her apron the gold and jewels, Gretchen followed the troll down a long flight of stone steps which led to a . level path, then down to the field above her home. ' iPh.KM.a Ih, 1rlni trail fVlA lrl

iuauftius ... j r- -i " raced to the cottage and spread her treasure in ner motner s lap. . in excited tones she told the whole story, while Rita listened with envious ears. Gretchen put Bubo in the warm shed, ate her supper, then sat up with her mother talking about, the good things she would buy for the home and to make the family comfortable. "You are foolish, Gretchen," sneered Rita. "Why don't you spend yoar wealth on yourself? I mean to visit the troll and try to get tome jewew, too. but I WH wear the0 t0 Dan8 a" not throw money away on euch things as cottages in the mountain." So Rita started out and soon found the same cleft in the rock down which her sister had gone. Then she slipped and slid down into the passage leading into the cavern. Running along the passage she soon found herself within the cave, and there on the same chair sat the troll. "So "you are the fellow who gives away Jewels and gold?" spoke Rita, haughtily. - "I can't say I give them away, laughed the troll, who knew who Rita was. "I have charge of a magic box left by my mother. Your sister tried her fate. Bhe was found worthy and got her reward. Do you wish to try?" "Of course," returned Rita. "What do vou think t came poking about in lhl3 cave for but that ? Hurry up. Where is the box?" "Wait a bit," said the troll, sadly, "remember it may hold evil as. well as good. To the good it brings reward, but to Ihe selfish it will send misfortune. Think well before you open this box" The troll clapped his hands loudly and agalruihe sreea goblin .floated in with the little black box covered wltn golden filigree work. Then there arose on the air the sound of a sad wail, as If some one was moaning. Rita stepped forward to the silver table on which the box lay and jerked ud the lid hastily. But there was no gold within. Out of it leaped a lot of ugly frogs. They iuuDed on the table and the girl with a scream fled, for she was afraid of frogs. Of course they would not hurt her, but she did not know this and kept on running. Out of the cave she sprang and began climbing up by the steep rock down which she had slip ped, and after her tumbled the rrogs They croked and pumped and began to follow her up the rock. The briars cut her hands and the sharp points tore her dress, but she was so fright ened that she soon got to the top. But after her came the frogs. Away like the wind she ran home, dirty and bleeding. As soon as the frogs saw the cottage they turned and went back to the cave, but Kita new on till she fell exhausted on' the floor of the kitchen, where her mother and Gretchen sat talking. , Gretchen helped her sister to bed, brought her a cup of tea and sat by while she drank it. Rita was most ill at first, but she rapidly recovered and in a short whjle began to think over her own life. She saw how selfish she had been, how kind Gretchen was. and she felt ashamed of her acts." "Never mind the past," said Gretch en as they talked matters over. "It will be all right in the future. I have enough wealth to do for us all. We will live happily here together?' So Rita was cured of her mean ways and Gretchen with her treasure fixed up the little mountain home beautiful ly, so that they lived there in peace and happiness for the , rest of their days. -Vv.'-v, Tomorrow's story "Charlies's Choc olate Tree."

SALTS IF BACKACHY AND KIDNEYS HURT Stop Eating Meat for a While If Your Bladder Is Troubling You. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When y6ur kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have headache, sjck headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and wiien the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are j obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good reliable physician at once or get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jad Salts ; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to cle and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salt's is a life saver for regular meat eaters, tl is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. Adv.

To Peel Off Blotchy Rough or Chxpped Skin I To remove roughness, chaps, freck les, blotches or an complexion difficul ty, the best thing to do is to remove the skin itself. This is easily, painlessly and inexpensively done by the application of ordinary mercoUxed wax procurable at any drug store In the original one-ounce, package. The wax absorbs the defective outer skin, a little each day, gradually bringing the second layer of skin to the surface. The pores are unclogged and the face breathes in the life-giving oxygen. The new skin is beautifully soft and spotless, bearing the healthy glow of youth.. Just apply the wax as you would cold cream, only not rubbing it in. In the morning wash it off with warm water. It's the most effective complexion treatment known. To remove wrinkles it is a good plan to bathe the face once a day for a while in a harmless solution made by dissolving an ounce of powdered eaxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. There is nothing that will so surely erase the hatefnl lines. Adv. Palladium Want Ads. Pay. wholesome, health roll your own A
