"Mr. Mallowe has told me that Mr. Lawton made several suggestions to him and to his associate, Mr. Rockamore and Mr. Carlls, .o go with him into the unfortunate speculations which ultimately caused his - ruin. They were far-seeing enough to refuse." "Just what were these speculations, Mr. Anderson?" "I can't tell ' you at this moment. You'll understand that we don't wish 1o make any statement until we can do so definitely, and we are still, a3 I said, quite at sea. We'll try to straighten everything out as Boon as possible, and give you and Miss Lawton a full report. In the meantime, why not consult Mr. Mallowe? He can give you more explicit information concerning the late Mr. Lawton's speculation and final insolvency than we shall be able to do for some time; or possibly, Mr. Rockamore, or even Mr. Carlis might enlighten you. All three seem to have been more conversant twith Mr. Lawton's affairs than we, his attorneys." The dignified old gentleman's voice held a note of pained resentment, with which Ramon Hamilton could not help but sympathize. "I will adopt your suggestion, Mr. Anderson, and call upon Mr. Mallowe at once. I can no more understand than you tan how it happens that Mr. Lawton should have confided to such an extent in his business associates, to the exclusion of you and Mr. Wallace to say nothing of his own daughter; but doubtless there were financial reasons which we'll learn. I will take up no more of your valuable time, but will try to see Mr. Mallowe immediately. If 1 learn any facts you're not now in possession of, I'll let you know at once." Mr. Mallowe, when approached over the telephone, welcomed most cordial

When the latter arrived, he was greeted with a warm, limp hand-clasp, and seated confidentially close to the president of the president of the Street Railways. "Mr. Anderson did well to suggest your coming to me. Mr. Hamilton," the magnate remarked unctuously. VI believe I am in a position to give you a more comprehensive idea of the circumstances which brought about my esteemed friend's unfortunate financial collapse at the time of his death than my colleagues, because I was closer to him in many ways, and I am confident that he regarded me as his best friend. However, I don't feel that I can, in honor, violate the confidence of the dead by giving any details just now even to you and Miss Lawton of matters which have not yet been fully substantiated by the attorneys. I know only from Mr. Lawton's own private' statements that he was interested, to the point one might almost say of mania, in a gigantic scheme from which we, his friends, tried in vain to dissuade him. He urged me especially to go in on it with him. but because of the very position I hold, it would have been impossible for me to consider it, even if my better judgment hadn't warned me against it." "Can't, you give me some idea of the nature of this scheme?" Ramon asked.. "I can't believe, any more easily than Miss Lawton can. that there could have been anything that was not thorougly open and above-board about her father's dealings. Surely, there can be no reason for this extraordinary secrecy, particularly as the. newspapers had given to the world at large the unauthorized statement, from a source unknown to Miss Lawton or myself, that Pennington Lawton died a bankrupt!"

Copyright, 1916, by the McClure THE MOUSE AND THE RING. Once upon -a time there lived a poor little orphan girl named Mina, and one day when she went to the pantry she found that all that was left were a few crusts of bread and some cheese. These she put into her pocket and, tying up her few possessions in a bundle, she started off to try to earn her living, not knowing where she would go. When she was a short way from the house she heard someone calling "Mina, Mina, take me with you." Mina turned around and saw running toward her a mouse. When the mouse came up to her it said: "Take me with you and you will not be sorry. If you leave me in the house I will starve,." "You will starve perhaps if you go with me," said Mina, "for I have only a few crusts in my pocket and a piece of cheese, but if you like you may hop into my pocket and come along." So the mouse hopped into Mina's pocket and they went off together toward the city. When it came time to eat her dinner Mina sat down on the roadside and took from her pocket the crust and cheese. The mouse hopped out and sat up beside her, waiting for his share. "I suppose I may as well give you part of my dinner," she said. "It can't last long anyway, and then we will both starve." "Take me with you and you shall not starve," said the mouse when Mina had finished eating. So Mina told the mouse to hop into her pocket again, and she walked on. She had not gone far when she saw a beautiful black horse standing beside a rock, and the rider on his knees looking intently at something which Mina thought was on the rock. But when she got up to them she found that the man was looking into a crack in the rock and seemed to be very much disturbed. "Are you in trouble, sir?" asked Mina; "you look very unhappy." "Oh! 1 am in great trouble," said the man. "I have dropped into this crack in the rock a ring which was given to me by a witch and which keeps off all trouble; now I know what will happen for I cannot reach it. I will give to anyone who will recover the ring a bag of gold, but who

Helen and Warren; Their Married Life By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married Life," "Author of "The Journal of a Neglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc. "

This imperative summons was answered by the doctor himself, hastily girdling a bathrobe. "Oh, come quick! Mr. Curtis has taken some kind of acid. Oh, no, don't wait to dress come as you are. He's in frightful pain." "Just a moment," turning back to re-appear with a sinister looking emergency case. By this time the elevator was down, the boy gaping wonderingly. "Take us up, quick!" ordered Helen, as they stepped into the car. "What kind of acid? How much did he take?" demanded the doctor. "A spoonful. He thought it was cough syrup. "It's something the maid had." The very door of their apartment, wide-flung as Helen had left it, had an alarming aspect. They ran in through the dark hall to the lighted bedroom. Warden was still on the bed, groaning loudly. "Oh, where does it hurt? How does it hurt?" begged Helen, hysterically, anguishing over him. A brief examination, and the doctor turned to Helen with a quiet, "Let me see the bottle." He held it up to the light, smelled the cork and poured a little into a spoon. "It's acid," moaned Warren. "Get a stomach pump. For heaven's sake, doctor, do something." "I hardly think a stomach pump will be necessary," replied the doctor as he mixed a white powder in half a glass of water. "There's Anna now. "Catching up the bottle, Helen ran to the door. Anna! Anna!" Looking strangely unfamiliar in her street clothes, Anna appeared in the hall. "Anna, whit's this?" tragically holding out the bottle. The girl's blank face lit up. "Why, that's what I clean the brass with." "Brass polish!" groaned Warren from the bedroom. "But this isn't the kind you always use," breathlessly. "No, ma'am. I told you last week 'twas all out, but you forgot to get any, so I had use vinegar and salt." "Vinegar and salt! Is that all this is?"

mouse in my pocket that will do anything I ask, and if you wish I will ask it to get your ring." "Oh, if you can do this for me," said the man, "the gold shall be yours, and you shall have a fine house to live in besides." ' So Mina told the mouse to hop .out of her pocket and run into the crack in the rock and in a minute it came out with the ring in its mouth. "Come with me to my castle," said the maft, "and the gold shall be yours, and I will give you a house which is not far from my castle; you shall never want for anything, for without this ring, my life would not have been worth living. I have had so many enemies." Mina went with the man to his castle, and he gave her the gold and then he showed her the house which was to be hers, but he told her the would have to get rid of the mouse, because it would eat all the corn and grain in his storehouses. When the mouse heard this it jumped out of Mina's pocket and ran up on the shoulder of the man who was just putting the ring on his finger, which so frightened him that he dropped the ring. Quick as a thought the mouse jumped to the ground and, taking the ring in his mouth, off he ran with it. Mina called to the mouse to bring back the ring, and the man offered more gold if the ring was returned; but the mouse did not come back. Suddenly an old witch appeared before them, and the man began to tremble. "You have lost the ring for good this time," said the witch. "You are lost and so am I. The Prince has come into his own again." As she finished speaking the sky became dark and a terrible noise was heard, which shook the very earth beneath Mina's feet, but in an instant it ceased and it was light again. "You have saved me," said someone beside her, and Mina turned to find a handsome youth bending low before her. "The witch and her wicked son are gone forever, and I have taken on my own form again. "I was doomed to remain a mouse until I should be carried by a maiden to the place where the son of the witch should drop the ring, and as you were the one to help me I will make you my wife if you will marry me, for this is my castle and I am a prince." Of course Mina could not refuse to marry the prince, for she needed a home very badly; but. besides that, the prince was so handsome and kindlooking she fell in love with him. So they were married that very day ! and lived happily in .the castle all the rest of their days, and the ring which had helped the prince to recover, Mina wore all her life. . Tomorrow's story "Little Maida's Mermaid." "Yes, ma'am. It's the dregs that make it so cloudy." Helen gasped. The doctor stood in the doorway, pulling at his mustache with an ill-concealed grin. There was a pause a most discomforting pause. Then the doctor furred back into the bedroom, closing the door. After an excited admonition to the bewildered Anna never again to leave anything in the medicine chest, Helen still stood in the hall fumbling with the bottle in her hand. The first thrill of relief that the mixture was harmless had been followed by a rush of complex emotions. It is a woman's instinct to shrink from admitting, even to herself, the humiliation of the man she loves. Rigidly Helen forced her mind from the picture of Warren groaning on the I bed after a dose of vinegar and salt. !

Nevertheless it was a good investment if it brought Somerdyke back to her. The appreciation of her extravagance in one line did not move her to economy in another, and she lunched as heartily as usual before going home. Seated at the little table in the window of her room, she scribbled on the cheap pad paper the first draft of her letter, then read it carefully, adding a comma her and correcting a word there. Again and again she tore up one effort and began another . Even after she had made on or two "clean copies" on her new paper, she destroyed these and wrote others. At last she accomplished something j which she felt did' her justice, and she rea-read it several times, nodding ap- j provingly as she did so, and whisper-! ing "Good!" more than once. j "Dear Mr Somerdyke," (the letter Try putting an apple in a cup of I water over night before eating.

As a distinguishing feature, note the tiny bubbles on each flake raised by the quick, intense heat of a new, patented process of manufacture. New Post Toasties are the first corn flakes with a self-developed flavour the full, true flavour of choice white Indian Corn unlike common "corn flakes" that depend largely on cream and sugar for their palatability. Try a handful dry this simple test will demonstrate the delicious new flavour. But the flakes are usually served with cream or rich milk.
