Paying the Price in Blood The Allies are making their first heavy drive ' along the Somme. Thousands of men have been butchered by the Entente Powers and by the Central Powers. For every mile gained, a correspondingly large number of brave British soldiers have laid down their lives. The decision is still far off, and we can expect thousands more to be buried in French soil. Crown Prince Rupprecht in an interview with William Bayard Hale, formerly a resident of Richmond, says: "Amply and in full coin have they paid, for every foot of ground we sold them. They can have all they want at the same price." Four years ago a statement of this kind

would have been considered brutal and fiendish, but today we look upon it as the weighed ex

pression of a military leader. The Germans are selling every foot of ground they won in France for as many British lives as their generals want

to pay for it. Rather a commercial way of look

ing at it, but as both powers are really fighting for commercial supremacy anyway, the express

ion is in accord with the spirit of the war.

One cannot read the dispatches detailing the frightful mortuary lists without hoping that the conflict will soon end, and that men will devote their time to the peaceful pursuit of industry,

commerce and agriculture. Rockefeller and Pennies John D. Rockefeller went to church last Sun

day. He filled his pockets with pennies and distributed them to the members of the' Sunday

school. If-John D. were a profligate, he would have filled his pockets with hundred dollar bills and distributed them among the children. But John D. believes in thrift, so he distributed pennies. It makes little difference whether he gave pennies or dollars, for the money would make no dent in his pocketbook anyway.

"Blood?" lie repeated, thickly, as If scarcely understanding. Then a realisation of the situation dawned upon him, and he demanded, hoarsely: "Who are you? What are you doing here? "My name is Blaine, and I am here to arrest the murderer of Pennington Lawton," the detective replied, his dominant tones ringing through the room. "BlaineHenry Blaine!" Rockamore stepped back a pace or two, and a sneer curled his thin lips, although

his face had suddenly paled. "I've heard of you, of course the International meddler! What sort of sensation are you trying to work up now, my man, by such a ridiculous assertion? Pennington Lawton murdered! Why, all the world knows that he died of heart disease!" "All the world seldom knows the truth, but it shall, in this instance," returned Blaine trenchantly. "Pennington Lowton was murdered poisoned by a draught of prussic acid." "You're mad!" Rockamore retorted, insolently. He tossed the incriminating little vial carelessly on the blotter of the writing desk, and when he turned again to the detective his face, with its high, thin, hooked nose and closedrawn brows, was vulture-like in its malevolent intensity. "You don't deserve serious consideration! If you make public such a ridiculous statement, you'll only be laughed at for your pains." "I shall prove it. The murderer's midnight visit, his secret conference with his victim, did not proceed unwitnessed. His motive Is known, but his act was futile. It came too late." "This is all very interesting, no doubt, or would be if it could be credited. However. I cannot understand why you have elected to take me into your confidence." Rockamore was livid, but he controlled himself sufficiently to speak with a simulation of contemptuous boredom. "I came here to see Miss Lawton, in response to an urgent call from her; I don't know by what authority you are here, but I do know that I do not propose to be further annoyed by you!" "I am afraid that you will find yourself very seriously annoyed before this affair comes to an end, Mr. Rock

amore." said Blaine. "Miss Lawton's

butler summoned you this afternoon by my instructions, and with gratifying promptness you came and did Just what I expected you would do betrayed yourself Irretrievably In your haste to recover the evidence which now will hang you!" The other man laughed harshly, a discordant, jarring laugh which Jangled on the tense air. "Your accusation is too absurd to be

resented. I know that Miss Lawton could not have been a party to this melodramatic hoax!" Blaine walked to the desk before replying, and taking up the crimsontinged vial, weighed it in his hand.

"You did not find the poison bottle which you yourself thrust in that chair the night Pennington Lawton died, Mr. Rockamore, because his daughter discovered It and communicated with me," he said. "She anticipated you by less than twenty-four hours. We have known from the beginning of your nocturnal visit to this room; every word of your conversation was overheard. It's no use trying to bluff it; we've got a clear case against you." "You and your 'clear case" be d d!" the other man cried, his tones shaking with anger. "You're trying to bluff me, my man, but it won't work! I don't know what the devil you mean about a midnight visit to Lawton; the last I saw of him was at a directors' meeting the afternoon before his death." "Then why has that chair the chair

in which he died exerted 6uch a peculiar, sinister Influence over you? Why is it that every time you have entered this room since, you have been unable to keep away from it? Why, this very hour, when you thought yourself unobserved, did you walk straight to this chair and place your hand deliberately upon the place where the poison bottle was concealed? Why did you recoil? Why did that cry rise from your lips when you saw what it contained?" "I touched the chair Inadvertently, while I waited for Miss Lawton's appearance, and my hand coming accidentally in contact with a hard substance, mere idle curiosity impelled me to draw it out. Naturally, I was startled for the moment, when I saw what

it was." The man's voice deepened hoarsely, and he gave vent to another sneering, vicious laugh. As Its echo died In the room, Blaine could have sworn that he heard a quick gasp from behind the curtains of the windowseat, but it did not reach the ears of Rockamore. The latter continued, his voice breaking suddenly, with a rage at last uncontrolled: "I could not, of course, know that that bottle of red ink wa3 a cheap, theatrical trick of a mountebank, a creature who is the laughing-stock of the press and public, in his idiotic attempts to draw sensational notoriety upon himself. But I do not know that this effort has failed! You have dared

to plant this outrageous, puerile trap to attempt to ensnare me! You have dared to strike blin'ily, in your mad

thirst for publicity, at a man infinitely beyond your reach. Your insolence ceases to be amusing! If you try to push this ridiculous accusation, I shall

ruin you, Henry Blaine! To Be Continued.

DORA AND THE DWARF

Little Dora had a hard time. Her mother was dead, her sister, who was selfish and lazy, made her do all the work and sleep in the garret. The father went away so early In the morning that- he knew nothing about what went on at home, so poor Dora had to keep her sorrows to herself. "I am going to a party tonight, Dora," said the sister one cold evening. "You set the bread to rise for breakfast, bring the water and fill the wood box, then milk and keep up the lire." ..

Then Sadie, for that was the girl's name, put on her best clothes and went out banging the door behind her, leaving Dora alone to do the work. She brought the wood, milked the cow, swept the room clean and then started to the spring for water. When she reached it she saw a dwarf struggling to get his cloak from a thorn bush, on which it had blown. Dora gently undid the garment and gave it to the dwarf. "I will mend it for you," she said kindly. "All right," replied the dwarf. "Hang it on the chair by the fire and I will come for it at midnight." With the coat on her arm and the bucket of water on her head, Dora went home and finished the rest of her tasks. Then seated by the fire, she sewed up the torn coat so neatly that the rip hardly showed at all. It grew late. The wind blew, and the sounds of people passing the road were stilled. Hanging the coat on a chair, Dora threw more wood on the ire, then curled up on a cot for a nap. But before she got to 6leep she heard the creak of an opening door. Pretending she was snoring, she lay still, looking out of her half-closed eyes. In came the dwarf. He saw the neatly mended coat and the girl watching him from the cot. Puting the coat on, he walked over to the window and stood looking out Into

the night, then he began to sing: "Under the white stone down at the

spring Lies a treasure golden of a ruby ring.

Wear it if your heart be true;

It will good luck bring. If your heart be wicked You will feel the sting. Kissing his band to Dora, the dwarf opened the door and disappeared in the woods. Early the next morning Dora ran down to the spring and lifted the stone. There on a bed of softest moss lay a beautiful ring of gold, in which sparkled a great ruby as big as a pigeon's egg. She put it on her hand and went home to get breakfast Strange to say, now everything seemed easy. It was as if a dozen fairy hands aided her In her work. The

fire burned brightly, the eggs seemed to whip themselves, the cakes were fine and everything went an beautifully. When the sister saw the ruby she wanted to take it, but Dora for once refused. But she told Sadie how she got it. "That's easy," laughed the older girl. "I can turn up a stone as well as you." So off she ran to the spring, where she saw the dwarf drinking. "Get out of my way, you lazy little fellow," she said. "I am In a hurry." So she pushed the dwarf, who fell

tumbling to the ground. Without taking any notice of him, she kicked over the stone and instead of a ring being there, a big, ugly toad leaped up at her. Frightened, she ran screaming, while the dwarf broke out Into a laugh. Sh9 stumbled and fell, then lay still crying with pain. Presently Dora, missing her. sister, came to search and found her 111 with a deep cut in her leg. Dora gently helped Sadie home, put her on the cot, brought her a cup of hot milk and bathed the wounded leg. This kindness made the older girl ashamed of her long months of mean conduct. The leg got well and Sadie was a different girl. Dora found that the ring brought her every kind of good fortune. Her father became a foreman in a big company that worked for the King and soon bought a handsome home. Their fruits, flocks and crop3 prospered, some nobles found

THIN FOLKS WHO WOULD BE FAT

Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or More "I'd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up a few pounds and stay that way," declares every excessively thin man or woman. Such a result is not Impossible, despite past failures. Most thin people are victims of malnutrition, a con dition which prevents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are, when the powers of nutrition are nor

mal. Instead of getting into the blood, much of the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. To correct this condition and to produce a healthy, normal, amount of fat, the nutritive processes muct be artifically supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can probably best be accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol Is a careful combination of six splendid assimilative agents. Taken with meals they mix with the food to turn the sugars and starches of what you have eaten into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and its rapid effect has been in many cases reported remarkable. Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infrequent. Yet its action is perfectly natural and absolutely harmless. Sargol It sold by Clem Thlstlethwaite's 4 stores and other druggists everywhere , and every package contains a guaran

tee of weight Increase or money back

NOTE: Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while ex

cellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired. 1 dr. -

A Distinctive Reason What is the chief reason for the superiority of Royal Baking Powder? There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York

Long before SENRECO was offered to you we submitted it to hundreds of dentists, requesting that they put it to every test. Told them that we believed Senreco to be an unusually good dentifrice, especially as to its cleansing qualities and its remedial action on sore, soft, bleeding gums; in the treatment of Pyorrhea,etc. Submitted the formula and asked them their optnton. They tested Senreco from every angle; some going even so far as to make a chemical analysis

With practically one accord said: "Senreco appeals to me more than any dentifrice I have ever seen." " cannot say too muck for Senreco. It's one of the best I have used." "I can recommend Senreco as the beet." "Makes the teeth gluten and it free from injurious ingredients, including pumice and grit." "I am indeed glad to get a tooth paste that does the work." "Congratulate yoa on formulating a dentifrice that give one a new idea of mouth cleanliness, etc." Whcse quotations are from the dentists' reports.
