Of course he didn't! ...Let. me eee It Oh,: that' can be easily mended." Without a .word - Helen took the broken case and replaced it on the mantel. . . Bobbie now wriggled down from his mother's lap, and the conversation .again turned to the cottage. ; Helen moved back, her face in the shadow. "Well, then, shall l see Bixby and close it up tomorrow?" asked Lawrence, when half an hour later they rose to go. "Or do you want to run down there first and look it over?" "We may as well take a look at it," temporized Warren. "Helen and I can go down tomorrow and let you know Thursday. "That's be soon- enough. Bobbie! Come, son, time 'to go "home." - Bobbie came running In from the di ' 1HVT1 H Fl IT'Tf H ir l 'Tit H L HH TTH WW JUT Li iifl rk wo There was a note in his voice that made Julia flush with anger. She turned sharply upon him. "Will you go away and leave us alone?" she asked hotly. "Or shall I call a policeman?" t The man's swarthy face creased into a smile. "Old stuff, kid!" he chided, "old stuff! What do you think I am? Besides it's not you I'm thinking about it's the little queen that's walking with you. If .you don't like, me, why you can step out." Panic-strteken, the girls walkfed rapidly down , the street. Julia was white and sick with a sudden dread. Her knees seemed weak, and in her palms she felt the clammy sweat of fear. Behind them she and Caryl could hear the footsteps of the man. "I'm a pretty good walker myself," they heard him announce onote, loudly. Ji'or two blocks he followed them while they, with the terror of hunted creatures, almost ran in their desire to - elude him.- . Reaching "Broadway," they plunged into the "flurrying human tide flowing there and did net slacken their pace until they were at Twentysecond street. Here they stopped and looked back timidly. The man was not to, be seen, but even so,! they did not feel safe and kept their rapid gate along the several blocks that lay between them and their new lodging. It was only when they were at last in the front room which they had engaged that they paused for breath. Even here they controlled voices and faces until the landlady, who had escorted them upstairs and remained to ohat with them for a minute, had taken her departure. "Oh!", gasped Julia, when the door had closed behind the woman, "it was awful!" She sank upon the bed and lay for a moment, pale and weak. "Caryl," she said slowly at last, pulling herself to a sitting pocture. "you expressed yourself as longing for an adventure. I hope you don't want any more of that kind." She tried to smile, then shuddered. "It was horrible!" she exclaimed. "It certainly waV agreed Caryl emphatically, sobered by the recent ex perience. "But," she added a few min-1 utes later, her eyes sparkling mis vheviously. "you shouldn't have been" frightened. Julia, for I was the one ' 1'nat he thought pretty!" And ' she lr.iig.hed as she uttered the jest. Dusk had fallen on the street outside of the lodging house window when Julia Marvin at last closed the top of the trunk over which she had been: . bending, and pronounced her own and j Caryl's belongings "all unpacked." "Well. .I'm glad that's done!" re-! niarkfd Caryl from where she sat on one of the two inhospitable cane-seatcd Ichair. that wore a part of the "fur-! nishingsj of their room The girl had ! l ecn seated thus for the past half j hour, watching her sister get thinas to i rights, yet she heaved a deeper sigh j tnan the worker, had emitted and repeated in a voice indicative of intense relief. "Yes, I'm glad that's done." The older girl was too dispirited to take umbrage at the selfish remark of her lazy sister. She was tired, not sleepy, but worn out, more in nerves than in body. She still brooded on her fright of the afternoon and shuddered afresh c.rery tim that she re-lived mentally the distressing experience. At Movies Tonight LYRIC.

Then came, the flurry of .goodnights,' in "which no one seemed to notice Helen's icy aloofness. As they turned back into the now quiet apartment, there was the distinct sound of running water. "Hello, what's that? demanded Warren. "Who let the water on?" , " Helen darted to the bathroom with chilly misgivings. Throwing open the door she fell back with a cry. 'The place was filled with steam, and, the floor flooded from the qver-brimming tub. ' V .V.-vVi'' V With an oath, Warren rushed In and turned off the hot water. Tufts of gray fur floated In the tub, and Pussy Purr-Mew crouched .terrified oh the window 'sill. ; Bobbie had evidently tried to give her a bath! ; "Get the .soiled, towels from the clothes hamper quick!" cried Helen,

There was something in her patient voice that touched the facile heart of the other girl, and she left off gazing at her own reflection to cross the room and throw her arms about her sister's waist."Well, never mind!" she crooned, trying ineffectually to make waltz with her. "The old mirror doesn't make any difference "anyhow, and I've been horrid to let you do all the work of unpacking. I'm sorry, Judy, dear, honestly I am. I know I'm a nuisance to you, but I'm going to be good and try my best to help you. I think our room is all right, and when .we get a few pictures on the wall why, it .will look really palatial.". Julia smiled and kissed her. "You're Copyright, 1916, by the McClure As Gretchen got farther down the road she met a pig. To this she said the same rhyme, and in a moment the pig was trotting along behind the cow. A little farther she met two ducks, and these also joined the procession. Away down the road went Gretchen, and after her followed the string of animals. As she passed through the village she met an old woman hobbling along to catch a boy who was running from her. A big whip was in her hand and she was scolding loudly. "I will add the old ladv to mv collection," laughed Gretchen, "as that v. ill save the boy a whipping and make my line even more ludicrous." So she said the verse, and the next moment; tne angry dame was noDDUng along behind the animals. ' A few paces farthur she " passed a donkey laden with cabbages. The owner was beating the beast, so? Gretchen made both the donkey audi the man fall in line. By now the sun was pretty high, so the girl walked over to where she knew the sad Prince would soon appear. But just before she got to the spot she was obliged to pass by the In the Treatment of Tuberculosis remember that first aid to relief is found in abundance of fresh air day 1 and night freedom Irom over-exertion, and pure food.

Then as she noted how tired her sister looked, she exclaimed, "No, we won't! You lie right down here and rest while I gallop out to the corner and buy our supper at the delicatessen shop. We can make coffee over our alcohol lamp, and we'll have a real spread here a sort of house-warming shan't we?" But Julia hesitated. "I don't like you to go out alone," she demurred. "When I remember that man who spoke to us I'm almost afraid to go out myself." "Pooh!" scoffed Caryl. "I guess I'll have to. find my way around town alone sooner or later, won't I?

Open flew the door and out came the sexton, and behind him the preacher with a big book in his hands. The sexton started after the girl with his long legs jumping over every pebble, and back of him came the preacher, mopping his hot brow and fanning with the book. This was just what Gretchen wanted to complete her procession. Without turning around, she said the magic verse and In a second the sexton was ambling along behind the old woman, while the preacher came along last. Gretchen turned down a lane and met a calf, and in another moment a humpy calf was added to the line.

"But you do not need any reward of money my father can give.

Gretchen threw the pole in the river, the spell of magic was broken and the people and animals that had formed the line returned home.

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh -creams." or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. There is a preparation known to reliable druggists almost everywhere which seemingly embodies th- missing elements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This modern treatment is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of fleshbuilders. Sargol. alms through regenerative, re-constructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where ' ey are carried to the starved, broken-down cells and tissues of your body. You can readily picture what result this amazing transformation should produce as with increased weight the cheeks fill out, hollows about neck, shoulders and. bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh is added to the body. Sargol is absolutely harmless,' inexpensive, efficient. Clem Thistlethwaite's four stores and other leading druggists of this vicinity have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found in every package. NOTE Sahgol is, recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results In cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported care should be taken about using It unless a gain of weight is desired.

Paton stopped him with-another question. "By the way," he said, "do you mind letting me know exactly what you did yesterday. Sir Godfrey?" "What do you mean?" asked Brooke, and Mr. Paton observed that, there was a nervous catch in the great man's voice and a swift look of fear and apprehension in the dog-like blue eyes. "I mean," he answered quietly, "that it would assist me if you would give a rough idea of what you did, where you went, and so forth." "Certainly, certainly," answered Brooke with an effort, controlling the feeling of momentary alarm which had come to him at the unexpected question, and with an assumption of studied thought.
