THE West Mill was merely one of the several mills
inherited by Monte Crispen. How and why it was
blown up; the efforts made by Monte Crispen to
solve the mystery; the part the cryptogram played in
aiding him; his earnest desire to learn something of the lives
of his thpusands of employes; the imminent dangers he ran
these are a few of the points of interest which make Monte
Crispen the great newspaper serial of the year.

Rcsinol Soap is not only unusually

which it is impossible to imitate.
Tendency to pimples is lessened,
