Thank goodness, that is no longer my task," she remarked as she tipped the cog nac bottle over my tea and handed the cup to me. "It is of a great fatigue to work upon a matter that one does not at all understand," I answered her as I sipped at that tea of a very disagree able taste because of the cognac. "Did they give you the two sets of speculations to compare?" she ask ed of me, with not much of interest apparent in her manner, though her hand shook as she poured for her self a very small cup of-tea, which was then filled complete with cog nac. "Helas," I answered, with a sigh, "And it is impossible for me to add more figures to each other than my fingers will allow. 1 cannot even use my toes." "Then he didn't get them ready for the conference this afternoon?" she demanded, with a great illumination of Joy in her face. "Oh, indeed. I handed them back completed to his excellency in a short space of time. Is not one mule like to another exactly? And why should a paper make them differ ent?" I questioned, with deceit of stupidity.

S £wt/S^Coms,Callouses3listers,Abrasions,etc. A novel way to quickly soothe and comfort sore, tired, tender, aching feet that burn, smart, itch, chafe, swell and perspire. Told by Corporal Jim Sulli van in an interesting interview accorded an American writer recently returned from Europe. Officers of the llrltlsli Itoyal Army Medical Corps also explain why the ■uiuo method Is so successful at the Front. Many readers who suffer from pain ful foot afflictions will be interested to learn how medical officers of the English Army deal with and promptly atop the various form of foot misery Inseparable from hard military serv ice. New recruits are often too lame and footsore to walk after their iirst long "hike", and even the toughest and hardiest of the old campalgnerc frequently succumb to "trench feet and the crippling rheumatic or other tortures so common In the wet, damp trenches. This article explains how they put their feet in fine condition and kept thein that way. Any reader can of course, adopt tho same meas ure since the foot troubles which af llict soldiers in the trenches are usu ally far more serious than any which civilians ever suffer and soldiers' op portunities for proper rest and med ical treatment are, naturally, few and far between. Corporal Jim Sullivan, probably the best known and most popular of KnrlisU Army trainers, idol of the xunsiißu AH. \z n zr British sporting world in his box in* days, recently said to the writer: '"The flrst requisite of a boxer or soldier is a good, sound pair of feet.

When asked to tell about their experiences with foot troubles at the Front, Sergt. Turner replied: "In my opinion sal trated water offers the quickest, safest and most convenient way to get rid of them. Every one with trouble some feet should know about it.

You know you are really a very beautiful creature, and I think I'll kiss you just once, purely for the pleasure of it." And I thereupon re ceived a kiss upon my lips from the curled llower which was the mouth of that beautiful Madam Whitworth. "Is it that the stupid Gouverneur Faulkner must very soon sign that paper that sends the many strong mules to carry food to the soldiers of France fighting in the trenches?" I asked of her as I made her comfor table in the hollow of my arm. "If he doesn't sign them in a very few days the deal is all off," she an swered me. "Jeff has got his capital to put up from some northern men who are —are restless and—and sus picious. It must go through and im mediatlcy." "Then it must be accomplished im mediately," I answered her with de cision. "The agent of the French govern ment will be here on Tuesday, and "Foot troubles? There's no excuse for them.

Beter still. It never came back and a couple of thick callouses on the bottom of my feet had also disappeared for good. Corporal Wilburn then Joined In the conversation, saying: "I took the trouble to have a sample of the sal trates compound analyzed and I found that it is practically a reproduction of many essential constituent ele ments found in the waters of such well-known medicated bathing springs as Vichy les Bains, Carlsbad and Aix les Bains. It even contains ingredi ents which release a certain amount of free oxygen in the water, thus giv ing many of the refreshing benefits of an oxygen bath. In this way it also resembles the natural sua waters to a marked extent and certainly the therapeutic effects nppear to be quite similar in many cases that have come under by personal observation. Why, do you know, one of the men In our company was laid up in bed for two weeks with "trench feet" and a com plication of other foot troubles be sides, yet ihe soothing and antiseptic effects of saltrated water were the only form of treatment used and now he has as sound and healthy pair of feet as any one could possibly want." > "Such painful afflictions as corns, i callous#*, et(w -eta. are. jiUec Mk all of these preliminary papers must be signed before he can close the matter up finally. I hope that the conference over those specifications this afternoon will be the last. Are you sure you discovered no flaw ovr which the old general or the big stupid governor can haggle?" "It is for Franco we plot." "I discovered not a flaw," I an swered her, with, great positiveneas. "Do you say that it is soon that those representatives of my government come to make a last signing of the papers about the excellent mules to be sent from the great state of Har peth to France who is at a war of death? I had not heard of the near ness of the visit at the 'capitol." "They don't know it—that is. Gov ernor Faulkner does, but has told only me. He sees things my way, but simply indications of injured tissues, to which the feet are peculiarly sus ceptible. Being the farthest points from the heart to which the blood must be the feet are subject to many aches, pains, corny growths, etc., resulting directly from defective circulation in the extremities, great strain in supporting weight of the body, and constant shoe pressure on sensitive.

The remarkably effective saltrated baths referred to In the above au thoritative article are prepared by dissolving ordinary Rodell bath sal trates in plain hot water. Any drug gest can supply a half pound or so of the standard Rodell bath saltrates compound at slight cost, and about a heaping tablespoonful is the quan tity usually employed to prepare a very strong foot bath.

And with those j wicked words, which involved the i honor of the great Gouverneur j Faulkner, she pressed her body close | to mine and her lips upon my mouth. I CHAPTER IX. Brothers by Bloodshed For that caress of that wicked woman 1 had not sufficient endur ance, and I pushed her from me with roughness and sprang to my feet. "It is not true, Madame Whit worth, that—" 1 was exclaiming when I caught myself In the midst of my own betrayal just as I was about to be shown into a plot which it was of much value to know. And as my words ceased I stood and trembled before her wickedness. "Do you know, Mr. Robert Car ruthers 1 do not entirely understand you," she said, with a great and beautiful calmness as she lighted a cigaret and looked at me trembling before her. "You are a very bold young cavalier, but you have the shrinking nature of—shall I say—a French—girl!" As she spoke those words, which began in sarcasm but ended in a queer, uncertain tone of suspicion, as if she had blundered on a reason to soothe her Vanity for the recoil of my lips from hers, an ugly gleam shot from under her lowered lashes. | "I am the son of the house of Car ruthers as well as of Grez and Bye, beautiful madam, and 1 caiyiot en dure that you put upon my very good uncle, the General Carruthers, an unfriendliness to France!" 1 exclaim ed with a quickness of my brain that I had not before discovered. "On points of honor I have that sen sitiveness that you say to be—be of a woman." "Oh, my darling boy! I didn't mean to hurt you about that absurb old feud of—" And as she spoke the beautiful Madam Patricia rose and come upon me with outstretched arms for another abhorred embrace, which it was to my good fortune to have interrupted. But I had a fear of that suspicion I had seen flashed into her mind even though lulled by my fine assumption of the attitude of a man of honor. "Lovely and beautiful madam," I made a beginning to say, when — "Oh, yes, Air. Carruthers is here, for 1 have an appointment to call for him," an interruption came in the voice of my Buzz in remonstrance with the black maid of Madam Whit worth in the hall of her house. "Come in, Buzz, dear," called that beautiful Madam Whitworth as in one small Instant shtf changed both her position with arms on my shoulder and her countance of anger and anxiety. She was a very wise and beautiful and much experienced woman, was that Madam Whitworth, but she.had given to me, unlessoned as I was in the art of politics, the fact that I most wanted, that the two papers containing the specifica tions concerning the mules had been mistranslated by her. "Put a shawl around you, Madam Pat, and come out here to the street a minute to see what is going to happen to the Prince of Carruthers," said my rescuer as he inserted his head into the room for one little minute and beckoned us to follow him.

OFFICE 10 North Market Square All's Well That r Ends Well a The Story of the Wealthy Was Not in By JANE McLEAN She was perhaps the most splen did specimen of selfishness im aginable. All her pocket money, down to the past penny, was ex pended on herself. She was not cruel, nor did she have a particu larly bad disposition perhaps it never occurred to her that she might Kain anything through being willing to share once in a while; at any rate she pursued an even path, and her attitude toward others never var ied. One evening her father, who al lowed her a modest bank account, was looking carelessly ovef her chock book. The stubs were all very much the same, and he smiled to himself, a little grimly. Wasn't it about time Elizabeth was beginning to learn that life is not all pleasure and the selfish gratification of each and every desire? They were waiting to go in for dinner, and he looked up and remarked quietly: "What do you spend your money on?" Elizabeth looked up and smiled. "There's only one thing to spend money on, dad—clothes." "Don't you ever do anything for others?" Elizabeth stared uncomprehend lngly. "You don't mean that I ought to give money to charities and things like that, do you, dad? That would be terribly stupid." "No, not that exactly. But don't you know that there is a certain something about doing things for others just once in a while that makes life all the more worth liv ing?" "Perhaps you feel that way, dad. But you don't know how many of the girls have given things and lots of times have found out after ward that the cause was unworthy." Her father did not reply to this. He knew that Elizabeth was all right underneath and that her surface thoughtlessness was due to youth. If she were to be brought to her senses something other than his trying to explain would have to do It. "Oh! Mary," carolled the girl lightly as the maid went by the door, "was that the mail? Is there anything for me?" The girl turned. She liked Miss Elizabeth, and she handed her a square white envelope addressed tn a scrawling handwriting to Miss Elizabeth Lawson. Elizabeth wrinkled up her smooth white forehead and then tore the envelope open quickly. Her father watched her over the top of the newspaper and her expression Inter ested him immensely. "Well, what is it?" he inquired, finally. "Must be something seri ous to make you so downcast." Daily Dot Puzzle I —I '? * >4 I * 15 "7B ' * / ."9 I • 5 2o lO , 6 • V 2i # • \ . .*2 }?

The girl hesitated, then without a word she handed the letter to her father. It was very short and to the point, and very, very simple. It told Its little story very complete ly. "Dear Child—The flowers were so sweet they brightened up my whole day, and 1 had them close beside me where I could peer at them. Since my knees have become so crippled I don't get out very much, and all the spring I have been able to see has been from my bedroom window. I wonder if sometime you could find a moment to run in and see me and let me tell yon just what your thoughtfulness meant to me. The card was just signed Betty, but I knew it was you.

Elizabeth turned away. She re membered how she had promised to run in and see Mrs. Mayhew, but something had always intervened— some giddy, foolish pleasure that she might easily have denied herself. She turiVd' back Impulsively. "I know what you mean now, dad," she said Impulsively almost In coherently, In a hurry to say what she left. "And I'm going to be dif ferent.
