All Other Remedies Failed The Test of Time Proves . the Value n PERU-NA J Under the date of March 6, 190?, Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 139 Riverside Ave., Little Rock, Arkansas, has this to say about her experience: “I was troubled for five years with a chronic disease. I tried everything I heard of, but nothing did me any good. Some doctors said my trouble was catarrh of the bowels, others consumption of the bowels. The medicine I took did no good. A friend advised me to try PE-RU-NA. I did. After taking two bottles I found it was help-> ing me and continued. Am now sound and well.” A letter from Mrs. Durbin, dated December 12, 1923, shows that, even after twenty-two years, she is in the best of health: “I still recommend PE-RU-NA to my friends who need a good medicina and everybody is pleased. I thank you many times for what PE-RU-NA has done for me.” There is nothing strange in this experience of Mrs. Durbin. It has been repeated thousands of times by sufferers from catarrh and catarrhal diseases. For sale everywhere in tablet or liquid form Send 4 cents postage to the PE.

\ The ] ; Vanishing \ Men \ \ J * t t BY,—, Richard Washburn ; ; Child ; I J (Copyright by E. P. Dutton A Co.) WNU Service. CHAPTER XlX—Continued e —ls—• “Now he goes running out along the walls searching for something. Look ! Here! He ran out along the base | of the wall searching.” “For what?" “For bits of wood —for anything that would burn —for fuel. He must have a funeral pyre. He has been crazed by fear again. But he finds nothing. Brena. There is no wood here, no paper, no grass. There’s nothing but sand and stone. Let him run about j till he drops. There is no mercy for him. Nothing that will burn. Nothing within a half a hundred miles. Like Hennepin, he too now screams and the scream conies back from the cliff with a terrible mockery.” “But he did find fuel, Peter," she said. “He must have found something." “Yes, he found something that would do—not very well, as we can see. He had hoped for better results than he got. Come.” On the way toward the gate of the I fortification walls Peter stopped and kicked at a blackened spot on the sand. He said laconically. "Their fire. : Where they ate their last supper together—the vanished men.” The sun had dropped below the | mountains above the mesa; Its needled fire had settled down into a hot layer of dull, sullen heat. But beyond the wall where their car stood the open desert, bare, cruel, with the j heat waves running like endless herds of sheep along the quivering horizon. I was a relief from that strange spell of the dried well, the ruins, the tine yellow-gray dust, and the silence. Brena filled her lungs as one does who has come from the Interior of a : mortuary. “Peter," she said. “Yes, dear.” “I want to tell you, Peter, that yon ' need not worry about me. I am all I right. It is necessary for me to know. And I’m going to know, Peter, wlthi out any weakening. We’ve come too far for that.” He took her hand. “I’m not willing to let this make a j scar on me, Peter," she said. “I’ve, paid in full before this. So show me. And then let's turn toward the earning of our ways.” “Our way,” he Insisted, correcting her. “Not ways. The earning of our way, together.” She shook her head a little as if some doubt had stirred within, but they were outside the wall now and Peter’s eyes were upon that which he had seen before. He dropped behind her and turned i her body so that she faced toward the bend in the southern end of the fortification wall. “There,” said he. “You did not see | it as we drove in.” Standing on the desert, like a ragged ; unkempt impropriety, was the ruin of a touring car. All that was left of its | top was hanging in wispy strips on the metal frame, Its paint and varnish had almost gone, the tires had i hardened and crumbled on the wheels, shreds of dry rotted leather dangled I from the cushions. Motionless, dead, silent as all else, the car, as if It I were a shabby outcast thrown out to j die, appeared disconsolate, ready to I send forth a wail of loneliness into ■ the emptiness. It had turned its back upon Pueblo Mescalero, as If It had wanted to go away but could not. “He came in that, Peter?” Brena asked. “Yes.” “But never took it away. Did he kill himself?” “No,” Peter answered. “A great abstract justice—a great equity from which there was no appeal—sat In । trial of him here. I tell you, Brena, i the thing Is of magnificent, awe-inspir-ing dignity. It’s a tremendous thing j —an unforgettable majesty of inexorable dealing out of sentences. The I place of his crime was the scene of hla trial, his conviction and sentence. I He died as Hennepiu had died—of thirst.” Brena started to speak. “No, not yet,” Peter said. “As Hennepin had suffered, so he suffered. More, perhaps, because in his car — Just as we have —he had a two-days' supply of water. Do you see that black thing out there on the desert? It Is a metal container for water. He was so crazed that he had tried to drag It along with him on a hopeless i journey through the sand. When he lost hope after many miles he dragged it back, tapping its contents to wet his cracking lips until the last drop j was gone.” “But the car?" she asked. “What happened to the car?" “The car was alb right.” replied Peter. “Come this way. Don’t go In front of it. Look behind It —the ' tracks It had made from the enclosure entrance. But here it stopped. Oh, I tell you. It Is a thing of stateliness —as If some great hand had come down.” Brena stared at him in open-eyed wonderment. “He was the instrument of justice —he himself.” Peter went on. “A man who would save his life, lost it. The madness of fear brought all that he had to sea more.” He paused. “Brena, I will tell you,” he said In a hushed, awed voice. “The man was mad. Irresponsible, without power to reason. He was in a panic of fear.

e He wanted to hide his crime at any J cost. He had fill d his gasoline tank 0 for the return journey. Look * Peter pointed to the hole In the back 0 of the car into which the gasoline Is J poured. The screw cap had gone. A f bent copper pipe still dangled out of J that hole, * “He wanted a hat-full of gasoline. J That was the fuel, Brena—the fuel to * burn the remains of Jim Hennepin." J He wet his lips. * “He used a siphon. This bent cop- ! per pipe taken from his tool chest—- * a spare length of oil feed pipe! And , with that he filled his hat and ran J back.” 0 Peter looked up into the sky. He J went on quietly. “And the siphon ran f on. He had forgotten it. It ran on * witli its little stream saturating the * sand until the tank was empty and the J heat of the day was evaporating the f last drops at the bottom. Parmalee had condemned himself to death! He had lost the fuel he had put in for the return Journey!" Brena pressed her lips tightly together and for many moments looked ' Into the great fanllke spread of the '■ sunset. Then suddenly she turned ' toward the car and took several steps. “No,” said Peter firmly. “You mustn’t." “I must know, Peter, beyond a ‘ shadow of a doubt.” 1 “He Is there—nothing for you to see. ■ dear. He must have had the delusion ' at last that he could drive the car. He's there—at the wheel —fallen forward. And so—” She looked up. “And so—to be sure—l took the watch—a gold one—this one. Is it ' his?” He held it out on the palm of his hand. “Yes, It Is —his. Peter.” lie looked down at it a moment; then tossed it Into the sand as one tosses asitle a poisonous fungus. “Peter.” “Yes.” “We mustn’t let this go with us when we go—following us away. We must leave them both —here.” She took his hand. “I am sure. For myself 1 can answer. I know the desert has served some great Will. The book Is closed.” • •••••• They slept upon one great square blanket spread on the open desert beneath the stars while the pale moon moved on its great silver arc across the heavens. The Pueblo Mescalero was far behind ; from it they had ridden for miles In awed silence. And when they had reached a stopping place upon a rise of ground, neither had dared an expression. Aching with ' weariness they had looked at each other mutely and flung* themselves down. Now the second morning, like the first, came over the desert's edge with a host of golden lances; again the air of the desert became a haze of luminous violet hanging above the red and yellow sands and waiting for that clang when the yellow glare was flung forward again over the plain. Brena awoke, sat up, unbraided her ■ hair and tossed it loose with her fingers. Something within her, that had been growing with the slow growth of stalwart long life, that had suffered no blight, that subconsciously she hud protected and nurtured for an unseen end. that had been made ready to withstand assaults by tragic winds, that had lived apart and immune from taint, was now free. As siie threw cut her arms toward the sun, so now tills thing within her for the first time came forth from Its depths to greet a dawn of Its own. It was not a thing asking for dramatic crises or for summits of joy; It only asked for the ultimate romance —that of the continuity of a full, strong, human life —the adventure of adventures into which the soul throws mind and body, thought uud flesh, nerve and will. And because she had found her mate in this ultimate romance, Brena bent over and kissed Peter’s lips. He smiled in his sleep, and slowly his body moved and his eyes opened. “Where are we going, Peter?” she asked. “Somewhere with you,” he said, sitting up. “Somewhere with you. 1 suppose we'll have to be married, dear one. But I feel that we were something more than that a long, long time ago.” He turned toward the east and the first flood of golden light illumined his face. “Do you know, Brena, that there Is something not weighed by science and the philosophies, not reckoned by governments nor laws nor customs. It Is something that Is ours—some newborn thing without material existence, some immortal spirit that we have created —you and I—long ago.” Brena moved her head up and down in silent assent. She sat with her hands clasped in her lap, her dark eyes moist, and a calm smile upon her sensitive, flexible lips. For now she knew that he too understood the way to the greatest of all the mysteries.

THE YELLOW MASK By CHARLES N. HOOD w- - -a <© by Short Story Pub. Co.) THE cleverness of Lemuel C. Loomis was Ingenuity raised to a very high power, and if he had , i any local rival it was certainly ( j his ingenious helpmeet, Lucinda L. ( ■ Loomis, born Laurence. When they , were married the groom had reached , Ids fifty-second year and the bride had , bidden farewell to the frivolous thir- ’ ties. ( As nothing will develop a latent tale*” for labor-saving devices more thoroughly or impart a more intimate knowledge of one’s or . peculiar tra'ts ! than living alone, the couple entered upon their new experience unusually well equipped iu both these respects, and their house-hunting was rendered both easier and more difficult. Finally the choice narrowed down to two houses, at about the same price. Each was three squares from the church which they attended and four from the post office, and the interior arrangements of both were, in the main, satisfactory. Each, however, had one great defect. “Which shall It be, Lucinda?” “What do you think. Lemuel?” “I would much rather that you would say, my dear.” “And 1 should prefer that you should decide, darling.” “Well, then, without either of us deciding it,” said Mr. Loomis, diplomatically, “let us each write our opinion on a piece of paper, and exchange them.” “All right,” agreed Mrs. Loom is. Mr. Loonris unfolded his wife's opinion with much curiosity and read: “I have always said 1 would never live in a house which did not have a front hall.” Mrs. Loomis read on her husband's slip: “It lias always seemed to me that If I were building a house. I'd build a first-class bathroom, and with what money 1 had I<*Q build the best house * 1 could around It." Both laughed heartily and rose with one accord tu give the houses another inspection. “It would be pretty hard to build a hull on that Locust street house,” said Mr. Loomis. “But by bulldlug an addition on the west side of the Elm street house," replied Mrs. Loomis, “we could 'have a nice bathroom, without much cost, and build it when we can best afford to.” Mr. Loomis complimented his wife on th. mppy solution of the difficulty, and before night iiad secured a deed to the Elm street property. Then he figured a little and said : “1 don't think we ma afford to build the addition this year, and 1 dislike to , perforin my ablutions In a wushtub or-— *’ “Oh. I have thought that all out,” replied Mrs. Loomis, smiling, “and I have such a nice Idea. We will buy a handsome tub —Just such as we will want for our new bathroom—and sot it up back of the kitchen run ’e. There needn't be any plumbing, except the exhaust pipe, for it will be so close to the range that one can dip the hot water from that, and by turning the top of the rain-water pump in the sink around, cold water can be pumped directly into the tub. We can have a nice broad shelf on hinges to let down over the tub, and that will make a splendid kitchen table, and nobody need ever know that there is a tub there.” While this Ingenious arrangement would have been very Inconvenient for some families, it was perfectly suitable for the Loomis menage, free from even a kitchenmaid. Down behind the range proved an exceedingly cozy, warm spot in which to take a leisurely bath. Mr. Loomis was a member of the village board of trustees, which held its sessions on Saturday evenings, and it was his custom, on returning from these meetings, to enjoy a thorough, leisurely bath before retiring. Then he had the kitchen all to himself and could take his time. One particular Saturday night the village council had held such a pro- > tracted sitting that it was actually Sunday morning when Mr. Loomis stole into the kitchen, swung up the portalile table, and as silently and rapidly as possible filled the tub. A flood of moonlight came In through the win- ! dows, and he did not trouble to light the gas, but was soon soaking placidly in the warm and comfortable With. A heated discussion over The purI chase of a road roller had wearied Mr. : Loomis considerably, and while reviewing the arguments as he lay in the tub, he fell asleep. This he himself । denies, asserting that he heard the first touch of the burglar's hands on the window fastening. This latter statement there is no means of controverting, but it is positively known

Pelgian Doctor Tells Causes of Degeneracy

Doctor Ley, a Belgian physician, has submitted to the Royal Academy of Medicine the results of his researches on degeneracy, according to the corl respondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association in Belgium, i In studying a group of normal chili dren and a group of abnormal children ' he endeavored to determine what part environment and what part heredity j play in the physical and moral development of the individual. Each group comprised 150 children, 100 boys and iSO girls. The author studied the rela- | tive position of the subject with re--1 ! spect to the other offspring, his per- । sonal antecedents, his development from the standpoint of dentition, ability to walk, ability to speak; the I place and nature of the home, the kind ■ of food eaten, the occupation of the parents, their education, moral character, and so forth. For each of the points considered the author gives the respective percentage for the two groups. For instance, he found that among the fathers of

that Mr. Loomis did not enter the kitchen later than a quarter past twelve o’clock, that the intruder’s presence was not observed much before two, and that it had never before 'aken Mr. Loomis an hour and threequarters to bathe. However, when he did hear the fumbling at the fastening, his first impulse was to leap ITom the tub and repulse the invader. His second thought was merely to flee. What he did, in the excitement of the moment, was to reach upward, grasp the swing shelf and pull it down just as he heard the kitchen window gently raised. Either the water had cooled a great many degrees since he entered it, or else Mr. Loomis was very much frightened (he leaned toward the former theory), or the two reasons combined to cause such a shiver that it was with difficulty that he prevented an alarming swashing in the bath. Peering cautiously over the rim of the tub. lie shivered more violently than before. A man was crawling through the window. The moon had now nearly gone down, but the solid black silhouette indicated a rogue of monstrous size. The suspense was horrible. Before tiie intruder dropped quietly to the floor he shot a tiny searching ray of light into every corner, and the head of Mr. Loomis slid out of sight as a startled turtle slips off a log. In an agony of apprehension the householder heard the burglar tiptoe across to the pantry and back. Waiting ns long as he could restrain Ids curiosity and alarm, he again peered cautiously between the table-shelf and the tub rim. The burglar was sitting in the middle of the room, with his back toward Mr. Loomis. By the faint light of the tiny lantern he could not see what the man was doing, and wriggled a little higher up. Ass he moved his feet there was a slight disturbance in the water, and Mr. Loomis realized only too well what It meant. Pending the permanent location of the bathtub, he had, with his accustomed ingenuity, utilized a large- cork as an exhaust plug, and this, loosened by his foot, had bobbed to the surface. The water was running out rapidly. When it was nearly all out the exhaust would make a hideous, gurgling wail, startling the burglar. Mr. Loomis would be discovered. and in his helplessness probably murdered. He fumbled wildly for the cork, but It eluded every clutch, and he dared not make a noise. He tried to check the flow of the water by inserting his toes in the orifice, but this only slightly delayed the end. Nothing could stop the water —his moments were numbered. Disewvery being inevitable. It was better to be prepared for defense, he thought, before the alarm from the exhaust pipe came. As quietly as possible he pushed the shelf upward on its welloiled hinges. Fortunately, It made no noise. He rose slowly on his benumbed limbs and stood upright tn the tub. The water was getting lower | and lower and he had but a moment to decide upon a plan of action. He could now see the burglar, who . was engaged In devouring a lemon pie. a sort which Mrs. Loomis made especially well, and of which Mr. Loomis was particularly fond, and which had been Intended for their Sunday dinner. It was as yellow as gold, and topped with a beautiful, thick, frothy meringue. If the blood of Mr. Loomis had not been so chilled, । it would have boiled at the sight of the rough-looking robber wrecking this masterpiece of pastry, and feeding with a knife at that. Tiie time for action had come. Mr. Loomis felt around for a weapon, but could find none. He was in despair. The last wave of the retiring water floated tiie big bath sponge against his ankles. He reached dow n and grasped it. As he straightened up with it poised in his hand, he was dismayed to hear a light step on tiie back stairs—Mrs. Loomis was descending to see why he had not come to bed. It was a fearful crisis. At that very moment the bathtub exhaust emitted a ghastly, gurgling groan, followed by a sucking, swirling shriek. The very worst had come, and Mr. Loomis, steadied by a realization of the critical situation, raised the saturated sponge with careful aim. and let ft fly. With a soggy swash it struck the burglar squarely in the back of the neck, forcing the villainous face violently into the center of the lemon pie, to the very bottom of the dish. When the burglar’s countenance was withdrawn it wore a mask of yellow fringed with frothy white, from which two beady eyes protruded with a horrible stare. They fell upon the open doorway of the back stairs, where a plump matron in snowy white just then sat forcibly down upon tiie bottom step, still clinging to a smoking lamp, whose shattered chimney fell upon the floor. Then, as they turned in the direction from which the cold, paralyzing missile had come, and beheld the stark form of Mr. Loomis, their owner gave utterance to a cry very like that just emitted by the bathtub, and disappeared through the open window. The clock struck two.

normal children alcoholism was in evidence in 12 per cent, whereas among the fathers of abnormal children alcoholism was a factor in 50 per cent. Infantile convulsions affected 3 per cent of the normal and 75 per cent of the abnormal subjects. Cleanliness of the home was found to be of high order in 137 of the 150 normal cases but only in 54 of the abnormal cases. The homes were very deficient in this respect in two normal and in 31 abnormal cases. In reality, the influences of heredity and environment are combined and interwoven. The statistics of the author show plainly the simultaneous influence of the two factors and the impossibility of advancing an exclusive theory.
