WHY THAT BAD BACK? Does spring find you miserable with an aching back? Do you feel lame, stiff, tired, nervous and depressed? Isn’t it time then, you found out why you are unable to enjoy these fine spring days? Likely your kidneys have weakened. Winter is hard on the kidneys. Colds and chills and a heavier diet with less exercise tax them heavily. It’s little wonder spring finds you with backache, rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness and bladder irregularities.

"PRETTY EYES.” Synopsis—Proud possessor of a printing press and equipment, the gift of Unclis Joseph to his nephew. Herbert ULngsworth Atwater, Jr., aged thirtSen, the fortunate youth, with hi? chum, Henry Rooter, about the sama age, begins the publication of a full-fledged newspaper, the North End Daily Oriole. Herbert’s sms ,1 cqusin, Florence Atwater, being barred from any kind of parti .Ipatlon in the enterprise, on account of her intense and natural feminine desire to “boss,” is frankly annoyed, and not at all backward in saying so. However, a poem she has written is accepted for insertion In the Oriole, on a Strictly commercial basis—cash in advance. The poem suffers somewhat from the inexperience of the youthful publishers in the “art preservative." Her not fdtog?lh? r tTnreasonable demand for tepublication of the masterpiece, with its bauty unmarred, is scorned, and the lyeak between Miss Atwater finA the publishers of the/OH ole widens. The Sunday following, Florence’s particular chum, Patty Fairchild, pays her a visiiL They are joined, despite Florence's openly expressed .disapproval, by Herbert and Henry. Florence will not play. Patty and the visitors indulge in a series of Innocent Sunday games. Among them is one called “Truth,” the. feature of which is a contract to'write a question and answer, both to be kept a profound secret. The agreement is duly carried out.

PART ll—Continued. —7— “I say you won't spesjk of Julia's engagement outside the family, will you, Florence?” “Papa!” she gasped, “Did Aunt Julia write she was engaged?” “Yes.” “To g-.'t married?” “It would seem so.” “’Io who?” “ 'To whom,’ Florence,” her mother suggested primly, “Mania !” the daughter cried. “Who’s Aunt Julia engaged to get married to? Noble Dill? “Good gracious, no!” Mrs. Atwater exclaimed. “What an absurd idea! It’s to a young man in the place She’s visiting—a stranger to all of us. Julia only met him a few weeks ago.” Here she forgot Florence, and turned again to her husband, wearing her former expression of experienced foreboding. “It’s just as I exactly’like Julia to 110 such’’■fl reckless thing!” “But we don’t know anything at all about the young man,” he remonstrated. “How do you even know he’s young?” Mrs. Atwater asked crisply, “All in the world she said about him was that he's a lawyer. He may he a widower, for all we know, or divorced, with sevep or eight children.” “Oh. no, Mollie!" “Why, he might!” she insisted. “ For all we know, he may be a widower for the third or fourth time, or divorced, with any number of children. If such a person proposed to Julia, yon know yourself she’d hate to be disappointing !” Her husband laughed. “I don't think she’d go so far as to actually accept such a person and write home to announce her wigageihent to the family. I suppose most of her swains here have been in the habit of proposing to her just as frequently as she was unable to prevent them from going

She’s never been ehgaged before." ‘.‘No,” Mrs. Atwater admitted, “Not to this extent. .She’s never announced it to the family before.” “Well, T»d hate to have Julia’s Job when she conies back!” Julia’s brother said ruefully. “What’s that?” “Breaking it to her ‘admirers.’" “Oh, she isn’t going to do that!” “She’ll have to, now,” he said. “She’ll either have to write the news to 'em, or else tell ’em, face to face, when she comes home.” “SIR* won’t do either." 1 "Why, how could she get out of It?” Hla wife amlled nitvinciv. “She

hasn’t set a time for coming home, has she? Don’t you know enough of Julia’s ways to know she’ll never in the world stand up to the music? She writes that all the family can be told, because she knows the news will leak out here and there, in confidence, little by little? so by the time she gets home they’ll all have been through their first spasms, and after that she hopes they’ll just send her some forgiving flowers and greet her with manly handclasps—and get ready to usher at the wedding!” “Well,” said Mr. Atwater, "I’m afraid you’re right. It does seem rather like Julia to stay away till the first of the worst is over. I’m really sorry for some of her love-lorners. I suppose Jt will get whispered and they'll hear It; and there are tone of the poor things that might takq it pretty hard.” “ ‘Take it pretty hard!’ ” she echoed loudly. “There's one of ’em, at least, who will just merely lose his reason 1” “Which one?” “Noble Dill.” At this, the slender form of Florence underwent a spasmodic seizure, in her chair, as the fit was. short, and also noiseless, It passed without being noticed. “Yes,” said Mr. Atwater, thoughtfully. “I suppose he will.” “He certainly will!” Mrs. Atwater declared. “Noble’s mother told me last week that he’d gotten so he was just as liable to drop a fountainpen in his coffee as a lump of sugar; and when any one speaks to him he either doesn't know it, or else jumps. When he says anything, himself, she says they can scarcely ever make out what he’s talking about. He was trying enough before Julia went away; but since she’s been gone Mrs. Dill says he’s like nothing in her experience. She says he doesn’t inherit it; Mr. Dill wasnjt anything like this ■about her.” Mr. Atwater smiled faintly. “Mrs. Dill wasn't anything like Julia.” “No,” said his wife. “She was quite a sensible girl. I’d hate to be in her place, now, though, when she' tells Noble about this!” “How can Mrs. Dill tell him. since she doesn’t know it herself?” “Well —perhaps she ought to know it. so that she could tell him. Somebody ought to tell him, and it ought to be done with tlje, greatest tact., : Jj ought to be broken to him with the most delicate care and sympathy, or the consequences—” X “Nobody could foretell the conse r quences,” her husband interrupted—“no matter how tactfully it’s broken to Noble.” “No,” she said. “I suppose that’s true. I think he’s likely to lose his reason unless it is done very tactfully, though.” “Do you think we really ought to tell Mrs. Dill. Mollie? I mean, seriously: Do you?” For some moments she considered his question; then aswered, “Nd. It’s possible we’d be following a Christian course in doing it; but still we’re rather bound not to speak of it outside the family, and when it does get outside the family I think we’d better not be the ones responsible—especially since it might easily be traced to us. I think it’s usually better to keep out of things when there’s any doubt.” “Yes,” he said, meditating. “I never knew any harm to come off people’s sticking to their own affairs.” But as he and Ills wife became si- : lent for a time, musing in the firelight, their (laughter’s special eonvicj tlons were far from coinciding with I theirs, although she. likewise, was si- ; lent—a strangeness in her which they I should have observed. But so far I were they from a true comprehension of her. they were unaware that she had more than a casual, young-cou-sinly interest in Julia. Atwater’s en-’ gagenient and in those possible consequences to Noble Dill, which they had s' “tched with some intentional ! exaggeration, and decidedly without the sl.- ggering seriousness attributed ■ to then predictions by their daughter, i They < r ' not even notice her expression v % en Mr. Atwater snapped on , the Ih’t, in order to read, and she i went ev’etly out of the library and up ‘ to her own room. On f'e floor, near her bed, where I Patty ''airchild had left her coat and hat, Florence made her second discovery. Two small, folded slips of paper !• there, dropjied by Miss Fairchild when she put on her coatMn the darkening room. They were the replies t<> Patty’s whispered questions, in the game on the steps—the pledged Truth, written by Henry Rooter and Herbert Atwater on their sacred words and horors. The infatuated pair had either overestimated Patty’s caution, or else each had thought she would so prize his little missive that she would treasure It In a tender safety, perhaps pinned upon her blouse (at the first opportunity) over the heart. It Is pos lively safe to say that neither of the tv o veracities would ever have been sei upon paper had Herbert and Henry any foreshadowing that Patty might be careless; and the partners wpuld 1 ave been seized with the utmost horror could they have conceived the poss'billty of their trustful messages ever falling into the hands of the relentless creature who now, without ar instant’s honorable hesitation, unfolded and read tflem. "Yes if I got to tell the truth,. I know ,1 have got pretty eyes,” Herbert had written. "I am glad you think so. too, Patty, because you/ eyes are too. Herbert Illlngsworth Atwale”, Jr.” And Mr. Henry Rooter had likewise,

ruinea a coincidental mun ner. “Well, Patty, my eyes are pretty, but suppose I would like to trade with yours because you have beautiful eyes, also, sure as my name ts Henry Rooter.’’ Florence stood close to the pinkshaded electric droplight over her small white dressing table, reading again and agjiin these pathetically honest little confidences. Her eyelids were to an unprecedented retirement, so yemarkably she stared, while her moqth seemed to prepare itself for the attempted reception of a bulk beyond its total capacity. And these plastic tokens, so immoderate as to be ordinarily the consequence of nothing short of poignant horror, were overlaid by others, subtler and more gleaming, which wrought the true significance of the coptortion —a joy that was dumfoundlng. Her thoughts, were first of Fortune’s kindness in selecting her for a favor so dovetailing into the precise need of her life, then of Henry and Herbert, each at this hour probably brushing his hair in preparation for the Sunday evening meal, and both touchingly unconscious of the calamity now befalling them; but what eventually engrossed her mind was the thought of Wallie Torbin. Master Torbin. approaching fourteen, was in all the town the boy most dreaded by his fellow-boys, and by girls of his including many of both sexes whosnew him pnly by sight—and hearing. He had /Oj fiEl But What Eventually Engrossed Het Mind Was the Thought of Wallie Torbin. . no physical endowment or attainment worth mention; but boys, who could , him with one hand,” became sy cophants in his presence; the terror he inspired was moral. He had a special overdevelopment of a faculty exercised clumsy enough by most human being, especially in their youth; in other words, -he "had genius—not, however, genius having to do with anything generally recognized as art or science. True, if he had been a violinist prodigy or mathematical prodigy, he would have had some respect from his fellqws—about equal to that he might have received if he were gifted with some* pleasant deformity, such as six toes on a foot —but he would never have enjoyed such deadly prestige as had actually come to be his. In brief, then, Wallie Torbin had a genius for mockery. Almost from his babyhood he had been a child of one purpose: to increase by ghastly burlesque the sufferings of unfortunate friends. If one of them wept, Wallie incessantly pursued him, in horrid mimicry; if one were chastised, he could not appear out-of-doors for days except to encounter Wallie and a complete rehearsal of the recent agony. “Quit, papa ; pah-puh, quee-yet! I’ll never do it again, pah-puh! Oh, lemme alone, pah-puh!” ■ — * ! "I may have a slight surprise for you.” ; (TO Blj; y CONTINUED.) DELVING INTO MOTHER EARTH Man Has Gone Far Underground in Search of Riches That She Has Concealed. For centuries man has been engaged In burrowing his way deeper and into th% crust of old Mother Earth, in order to extract the minerals which she hides beneath her surface. A century ago 1,000 feet was thought to be a stupendous depth for any shaft; for inxthose days there were no engines capable of pumping from greater depths, and no system of ventilation had been devised which would make it possible to work in galleries at a greater distance from the surface. Coal pits oyer 3,000 feet deep are now fairly common in England, while Belgium has two which exceed 4,000 feet in depth. But coal is not alone in having deep pits. There, is In Australia a silver mine whofie bottom is 3,500 feet below the surface, while a gold mine at Bendigo, in Australia, has been sunk to 4,300 feet. A famous gold-mining company is sinking a shaft which, when complete, wIU measure than 7.000 feet. Armenian Music. The melodies and composition of Armenian music are unique, although In recent years Russian.

HARDIN PUT BACK ON HIS FEET TWICE Was Relieved of Both Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble by Tan lac,* States Los Angeles Man. “For the second time Tanlac has put me on my feet, and you may know by that what I think of it,” said William T. Hardin, 1409 Garden St., Los Angeles, Calif. “Three years ago, I had rheumatism in my shoulders and neck so bad I could hardly work. I tried medicine after medicine only to get worse, but finally I got hold of Tanlac, and I haven’t had a trace of rheumatism since. “Then last summer my stomach got order, I lost my appetite and what little I did eat made me feel bloated, all stuffed up and miserable. I always felt weak, tired and worn out, and was so nervous I couldn’t sleep. “Well, Tanlac did a good job for me before, so I just got some more of It. and now it has again fixed me up, and I’m feeling strong and energetic like I used to. I’ll tell the world Tanlac’s the medicine for me.” Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. Not So Very Olds Then.

EXAMPLE OF HIGH FINANCE Many Who Go Into the Game Come Out of It Feeling Like This Country Boy. Representative Rosenbloom said at a dinner in Wheeling: “The average man had better leave high finance alone. When the average man goes up against high finance he generally feels like the farm boy. “A city boy had a half-dollar and a circus had just come to town; but the cheapest circus • .ticket cost 75 cents, and this put the city boy in a hole. “But he was a financier in embryo, and so he went right off to a pawnbroker’s and pawned his half-dollar for 40 cents. “Afterward he waylaid a country boy, displayed his pawn ticket, and offered to sell it for 35 cents. A halfdollar for 35 cents ! Os course the country boy snapped up that bargain. “The city boy with his 75 cents Then hurried off to the circus. The country boy. after he had worked out this deal of his in high finance to the hitter end. sought a retired place and kicked himself.” Weapons Laid Aside. “Nobody tries to stop card playing in Crimson Gulch.” “It’s valuable for its social influence,” replied Cactus Joe. “I thought friendship ceased in a poker game?” “On the contrary, a poker game is the only occasion on which some of the boys really suspend hostilities.” The man who gets on tbp doesn’t always wait for the elevator.

RATHER PUT MAMMA IN BAD Her Offspring Had Chosen Decidedly Unpropitious Moment for "Fixin’ Billy’s Tees." My fussy guest was getting ready to make her departure. She was in a hurry, but took time to comment on life in general and mine in particular. “Children are all right, I suppose, but so meddlesome. They snatch this and that and spoil everything.” “Not mine,” I interrupted indignantly, “My children have a proper respect for others’ property. They never touch anything that doesn’t belong to them.” “Where’s my dental floss?” panted my gue'st. “It was here a moment ago.” A frantic search ensued, ending in the kitchen. On the floor were yards and yards of dental floss, and at the end of the floss was my youngest child, her puppy held between her knees. >“Fixin’ Billy’s tees, mummy!” —-Chicago Tribune.

Golden Pennies. Sir Ilobert Horne’s forecast of a return of the gold sovereign to common circulation may recall that the first regular gold piece struck in England was—a penny! This became part of the currency in 1257. and weighed about 45 grains, being the equivalent of 20 of the contemporary silver pennies. Its prototype was the benant, a gold piece belonging to Byzantium, which had been current for centuries, but the English' penny was a far better executed coin than its original. It appeared bttt once in our coinage and only two or three examples have survived. No one in England will be‘ sorry for the disappearance of the paper currency of war times. —Montreal Family Herald.
