Telia why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.
Why Is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; gome days really Incapaci
tated by Illness.

Inc. what a gratifying chango would
' takfl place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy comploxions we should
gee crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does not
rid Itself each day of all tho waste
which It accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken Into the sys
tem nr.arly an ounce of waste material
niust be carried out, else It ferments
nd forms ptcrnaino-like poisons which
are absorbed Into tho blood.
Just as necessary as It Is to clean
the ashes from the furnaco each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot. so we must each morning clear
the Inside organs of the previous day's
accumulation of Indlgestiblo waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth
er sick or well, aro advised to drluk
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate In
It, as a harmless moans of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the Indigestible material,
waste, sour bilo and toxins; thus
Cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food Into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, blllojs attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and slccp
luos nights have become real cranks
about the morning Inside bath. A quar
ter pound of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or

CHAPTER XXVII Continued.
13
Towards morning there was an army
cf newBfaper men so worried and dis
tressed, and generally consumed with
tho mad passion of restraint, that
there was scarcely a fingernail left In
the profession, and frightened-eyed
copy boys hid behind doors. Sud
denly a dozen telegraph operators In
as many ofl'ces, Jumped from their
desks, as If they had been touched at
the same Instant by a powerful cur
rent from their Instruments, nnd shout
ed varying phrases, a composite of
which would be nearest expressed by:
"Let 'cr go!"
It had been eight o'clock In the eve
ning In New York when Gerald l"os
land had first given out his Informa
tion, and at that moment It was lam
In Berlin. At 3 a. m., Berlin time,
which was 10 p. tn. In New York, the
Ilaron von Slacliten who had been de
tained by an unusual strefs cf diplo
matic business strolled to his favorite
cafe. At 3:0.1 the Baron von Slach
ten became the most thought about
man In his city, but the metropolitan
press of Berlin is slightly fettered and
more or less curbed, and there are
certain formalities to be observed. It
Is probable, therefore, that the baron j
might have gone nbout his peaceful
way for two or three days, had not a
fool American, in the advertising
branch of one of the New York pa
pers. In r.n entire Ignorance of decent
formalities, walked straight out I'nter
den Linden, to Baron von Slachten's
favorite cafe, nnd, picking out the
baron rt a table 'with four bushy
faced friends made this cheerful re
mark, In the manner nnd custom of
(jurnalists In his native land:
"Well, baron, the International
Transportation company has con
fessed. Could you give me a few
words on the subject?'1
The baron, who had been about to
drink a stein of beer, set down his half
liter and rtarrd at the younj man
blankly. Ills face turned slowly yel
low, and he rose.
"I ass blelben." the baron ordered
the hpndy persons who were obout to
remove the cheerful advertising repre
sentative and Incarcerate him for
II 'e, find then the baron walked stol
idly out of the cafe, and rede home
and wrcte for an hour or ro, and ate
a heavy early breakfast, and returned
'o his study, and obligingly shot him-
kL-lf.
This was at seven a. m., Berlin time,
which was two a in. in New York;
and ow lng to the nervousness of an
old woman servant, the news reached
New York at three a. in., and the big
wheels bejan to go around.
Where was Edward K. Allison?
There was nothing the free and entire
ly uncurbed wanted to know so much
p.s that; but the f. and e. u was
doomed to disappointment in that one
desire of its heart. Even as he had
stumbled down the steps of tho Sar
gent house. AIli?on was aware of the
hideous thing he had done; aware, tco,
that Jim Sargent was as violent as
good-natured men are apt to be. This
thought, it must be Mid In Justice to
Aliison, came last end went away
first. It was from himself that he
tried to run away, when he shot his
runabiut up through the pnrk nnd
Into the north country, and. by devious
loads, to a place which had come to
him ns If by Inspiration; the Willow
club, which was only open In the sum
mertime, and employed a feeb'e old
caretaker In the winter. To thl3 haven
bleak and cold as his own numbed
soul. Allison drove In mechanical
firmness, nnd walked around to the
kltch'-n. where he found old Penbody
fmoklng a corncob pipe, and labori
ously mending a pair of breeches.
Allison went Into the ollice and
cloud the door after him. It was
damp and chill In there, but he did not
notice it. He sat down In the swivel
chair behind the flat top desk and
rested his chin In his hands, and
stared out of the window at the bleak
and dreary landscape. Just within his
range of vision was a lonely little
creek, phadowed by a mournful droop
ing willow which had given the club
Its name, and in the wintry breeze H
waved Its long tendrils against the
leaden gray sky. Allison fixed his eyes
on that oddly beckoning tree and
strove to think. Old 1'eabcdy came
potterin? In, and with many a clang
and clatter builded a fire In the capu
clous Dutch stove; with a longing
glance at Allison, for he was starved
with the hunger of talk, he went out
again
At dusk he once more opened the

door. Allison had not moved. He
still snt with his chin In his hands,
looking out at that weirdly waving
wll'ow. Old Penbody thought that he
must be asleep, until ho tiptoed up at
the side. Allison's gray eyes, unblink
ing, were staring straight ahead, with
no expression In them. It was as If
they had turned to glass.
"Excuse me, Mr. Allison. Chicken
or steak? I got 'em both, one for sup
per and one for breakfast."
Allison turned slowly, part wny to
wards Pcubody; not entirely.
"Chicken or steak?" repeated Pea
bodv." "Eh? Yes. Oh, yes. Yea. The
chicken."
The tire had gone out. Peabody re
built It. He came In on hour later,
nnd studied the silent man at the desk
for a long minute, and then he decided
an Important question for himself. He
brought In Allison's dinner on a tray
and set It on a corner of the desk.
At eleven Peabody came In again, to
see If Allison were not ready to go to
bed; but Allison sent bltn away as
soon as he had fixed the fire. The tray
was untouched, nnd out there in the
dim moonlight, which peered now and
then through the shifting clouds, the
lonnnrmed willow beckoned and
beckoned.
Mo.ning came, cold and gray and
damp as the night had been Allison
had fallen nsleep towards the dawn,
sitting at his desk with bis heavy
head on his arms, and not even the
clatter of the building of the (Ire
roused him. At seven when Peabody
came, Allison rose up with a start
at the opening of the door, but before
he glunccd ot Peabody, he looked out
of the window at the willow
"Cood-mornlng," said Peabody, with
a cheerfulness which sounded oddly
in that dim. bare room. "I brought
you the paper, and some fresh eggs
There was a little touch of frost this
morning, but it went away about time
for Bun-up. How will you have your
eggs? Fried, I suppose, after the
steak. Seems like you don't have
much appetite." and he scrutinized the
untouched tray with mingled regret
and resentment. Since Allison paid
no attention to him. lie decided on
e? gs fried after the steak, and started
tor the door.
Allison had picked up tho paper me
chanically. It had lain with the top
part downwards, but his own picture
was in the center. He turned the pa
per over, so that he could see the
headlines.
"Peabody!" No longer the dead
tones of a man In a mental stupor, a
man who cannot think, but In the
sharp tones of a man who can feel.
"Yes. sir." Sharp and crisp, like
the snap of a whip. Allison
scared it out of him.
"Don't came In again until I
bad
call
you."
"Yes, sir." Grieved this time. Darn
It. wasn't he doing his best for the
;,mnn!
ho it had come; the time when his
will was not Gcd! A god should be
omnipotent, Impregnable, unassailable,
absolute. He was surprised at the
calmness with which he took this
blow. It was the very bigness of the
hurt which left It so little pa'nrul. A
mun with his leg shot off suffers not
one-tenth so much as a man who tears
his fingernail to the quirk. Moreover,
there was that other big horror which
had left him stupefied and numb He
had not known that in his ruthless
ness there was any place for remorse,
or for terror of himself at anything
he might choose to do. But there was
He entered Into no ravings now, no
wrlthlngs. no outcries. He realized
calmly and clearly all he bad done,
and all which had harpened to him In
retribution. He saw the downfall of
his stupendous scheme of worldwide
conquest. He saw hi fortune, to the
last penny, swept away, for he hud In
vested all that he could raise on his
securities and his business and his
prospects, In the preliminary exiwnses
of the International Transportation
company, bearing this portion of the
financial burden himself, as part of
the plan by which he meant to obtain
ultimate control and command of the
tremendous consolidation, and become
the king among kings, with the whole,
world In his Imperious grasp, a sway
larger than that of any potentate who
had ever snt upon a throne, larger
than the sway of all the monan hs of
earth put together, as large terrestri
ally as the sway of God hlmselT! All
these he saw crumbled away, fallen
down around him, a wreck so com
plete that no shred or splinter of It
was worth the picking up; saw him
as high as the great storage reservoir
where It has Us source, in the biis
east ot Geneva.

A Matter of Conscience.
Gall stood at the ra.l of the White

waves wltb troubled oyes.
"Penny for your thoughts." The Im
possibly handsome Dick Rodley had
strolled up, In his blue jacket and
white trousers and other nautical em
bellishments. "The news In the paper," she told
him. "It's so big.'
Dick looked down at her critically.
She was so new a Gall to him that he
was puzzled, and worded, too, for he
felt, rather than saw, that some
trouble possessed this dearest of bis
friends.
"Yes, It Is big news," he admitted;
"big enough and start'lng enough to

he shook his bead at her. "But you
mustn't worry about 1 CaiL You're
not responsible."
Gail turned her eyes from him and
looked out over the white-edged naves
again.
"It is a tremendous responsibility,"
she mused, whereupon Dick, as be'
came him, violently broke the thread
of thought by taking her arm and
drawing her away from the rail, and
walking gayly with her up to the for

sat, around the big table and amid a
tangle of Sunday papers, Jim Sar

Gerald Fosland, all four deep In the
discussion of the one possible topic
of conversation.
"Allison's explosion again," objected
Dick as Gall and he Joined the group,
and caught the gerer.l tenor of the
thought. "I suppos Ibe only wny to

And she's responsible for the whole
thing."
Arly and Gerald looked up quickly.
"I neither said nor Intimated any
thing of the sort," Gall reprimanded
Dick, for the bene! of the Foslands.
and she sat down by Arly, whereupon
Dick, observing thut he was much of
fended, ratted Gall on the shoulder,
and disappeared In search of Ted.
"I'd tike to hand a vote of thanks to

TOOK SPLINTER FROM HEART
Extraordinary Operation That French
Surgeons Are Reported to Have

An operation unique In thjs annals
of surgery, the extraction of a frag

was described reeentl" al the Hurls

Arniatngaud of Bordeaux.
The patient, a young Parisian ser

who was present at the session, was
wounded at St. Ilubort. in the Ar
gunne. on October I. A splinter one

Oner the heart was laid open the

from the forceps several llms iietore
It could be extracted, but the boast
ed to laugh outright However, ft
would keep. -
"Tbe destruction of Mr. Allison was
a feat of wnlch any gentleman's con
science might approve," commented
Gerald Fosland, who had spent some
time lu definitely settling with himsell
the ethics of that question. "The
company he proposed to form wa a
menace to the liberty of the world and
the progress of civilization,"
"The destruction didn't go far
enough," snapped Jim Sargent "Clork,
Vance, Haverman, Grandln, Babbitt
Taylor, Chlsholm; these fellows won't
be touched, and they built up their
monopolies by the same method Alli
son proposed; trickery, force and
plain theft!"
"Harsh language, Uncle Jim Sar
gent, to use toward your respectable
fellow-vestrymen," chided Arly, her
block eyes dancing.
"Clark and Chlsholm?" and Jim Sar
gent's brows knotted. "They're not
my fellow-vestrymen. Either they go
or I do!"
"I would like you to remain," qui
etly stated Rev. Smith Boyd. "I hope
to achieve several Important altera
tions In the ethics of Market Square
church." He was grave this morning
He had unknowingly been ripening
for some time on many questions; and
the revelations In this morning's pa
pers had brought him to the point of
decision. "I wish to drive the money
changers out of the temple," he added,
and glanced at Gall with a smile In
which there was acknowledgment
"A remarkably lucrative enterprise,
eh Gall?." laughed her Uncle Jim, re
membering her criticism on the occa
sion of ber first and only vestry meet
ing, when she had called their atten
tion to tbe satire of the stained-glass
window.
"You will have still the scribes and
Pharisees, doctor; 'those who stand
praying In the public places, so thov
may be seen of all men," and Gall
smiled across at him, within her eyes
the mischievous twinkle which had
been absent for many days.
"I hope to be able to remove the
public place," replied tho rector with
a gravity which told of something vi
tal beneath the apparent repartee.
Mrs. Boyd, strolling paBt with Aunt
Grace Sargent, paused to look at him
fondly. "I shall set myself, with such
strength as I may have, against the
building of the proposed cathedral."
"Don't be foolish, Boyd " protested
Sargent, who had always felt a father
ly responsibility for the young rector
"It's a big ambition and a worthy am
bition, to build that cathedral, and be
cause you're offended with certain
things the papers have said, about
Clark and Chlsholm In connection with
the church, la no reason you should
cut off your nose to spite your face."
"It Is not the publication of these
things which has determined me," re
turned the recor thoughtfully. "It has
merely hastened my decision. To be
gin with, I acknowledge now that It
was only a vague, artistic dream of
mine that such a cathedral, by Its
very magnificence, would promote wor
ship. That might have been the case
when cathedrals were the only mag
nificent buildings erected, and when
every rich and glittering thing was de
voted to religion. A gotden candle
stick then became connected entirely
with the service of the Almighty.
Now, however, magnificence has no
such signification. The splendor of a
cathedral must enter into competition
with the splendor ot a statohouse. a
museum or a hotel."
"You shouldn't switch that way,
Boyd," remonstrated Sargent, show
lng his keen disappointment. "When
you began to agitate for tho cathedral
you brought a lot of our members In
who hadn't attended services In years
You stirred them up. You got them
Interested. They'll drop right off."
"I hope not." returned the rector,
earnestly. "1 hope to reach them with
a higher ambition, a higher pride, a
higher vanity. If you like to put It that
way I wish them to take Joy in es
tablishing the most magnificent condi
tions for the poor which have ever
been built! We have no right to the
money which Is to be paid us for the
Vcdder court property. We have no
right to spend it In pomp. It belongs
to the poor from whom we have taken
It. and to the city which has made us
rich by enhancing tbe value of our
ground. 1 propose to build permanent
and sanitary tenements, to house as
many poor people as possible, and con
duct them without a penny of profit
above the cost ot repairs and main
tenance." Gail bent npon him beaming eyes,
and the delicate flush, which had be
gun to return to her cheeks, deepened.
Was this the sort of tenements he hud
proposed to re-erect In Vedder court?
Perhaps she bad been hasty! Rev
Smith Boyd In turning slowly from
one to the other of the little group, by
way of establishing mental communi
cation with them, rested for a mo
ment In the beaming eyes of Call, and
Bmlled at her In affectionate recognl
'Ion. then swept his glance on to his
mother, where It lingered.
"You- are perfectly correct." stated
Gerald Fosland, who, though sitting
stiffly upright, had managed neverthe
less to dispose one elbow where It
continued to bent all the time. Al
though complications were feared,
everything went woll, and the ser
geant could be considered cured a
month after. Members of the acad
emy were able to see for themselves
that the heart was now acting nor
mally, and that a cure had been es
tablished beyond all doubt.

"Do you know," be observed, "I
should like very much to become a
member of your vestry."
"I'm glad you are Interested," re
turned the rector, and producing a
pencil he drew a white advertising
space towards him. "This is the plan
of tenement I have In mind," nnd for
the next half hour the five of them
discussed tenement plans with great
enthusiasm.
At the expiration of thnt time, Ted
and Luclle and Dick ord Marlon came
romping up, with the deliberate In
tention of creating a disturbance; and
Gall and Rev. Smith Boyd, being
thrown accidentally to the edge of that
whirlpool, walked away for a rest.
"They tell me you're going abroad."
observed the rector, looking down at
her sadly, as they paused at ber fa
vorite rail space.
"Yes." she answered, quietly. "Fath
er and mother are coming up next
week." and she glanced up at the rec
tor from under her curving lashes.
There was a short space of silence.
It was almost as if these two were
weary.
"We shall miss you very much," he
told her. In all sincerity. They were
both looking out over the blue waves;
ho. tall, broad-shouldered, agile of
limb;, she, straight, lithe, graceful.
Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Sargent passed
them admiringly, but went on by with
a trace of sadne&j.
"I'm sorry to leave," Cell replied. "I
shall be very anxious to know how
you are coming on with your new
plan. I'm proud of you for It."
"Thank you." ho returned.
They were talking mechanically. In
them was an Inexpressible sadness.
They had come so near, and yot they
were so far tpart. Moreover, they
knew that there was no chance of
change. It was a matter, of conscience
which came between them, and It was
a divergence which would widen with
the years. And yet they loved. They
mutually knew It. and It was because
of that love that they must slay
apart
CHAPTER XXIX.
A Vestry Meeting.
There was a strained atmosphere In
the vestry meeting from the first
Every member present felt the tension
from the moment old Joseph Q. Clark
walked In with Chlsholm. They did
not even nod to Rev. Smith Boyd, but
took their seats solidly in their cuv
totnary places at the table, Clark,
shielding his eyes, as was his wont
against the light which streamed on
him from the red robe of tbe Good
Shepherd. Tbe repression was ap
parent, too, In Rev. Smith Boyd, who
rose to address bis vestrymen as soon
as the lute-comers arrived.
"Gentlemen," said he, "I wish to
speak to you as the treasury commit
tee, rather than as vestrymen, for -Jt
Is In tbe former capacity which you
always attend. I am advised thut we
have been paid for Vedder court "
Chlsholm. to whom he directed a
gaze of Inquiry, nodded his head.
"It's In the Majestic." he staled. "I
hove plans for Its Investment which
I wish to lay before the committee "
"I shall lay my own before them at
the same time," went on the rector.
"I wish, however, to preface these
plans by tbe statement that 1 have,'
so far as I am concerned, relinquished
all thought of building the .new
cathedral."
Nicholas Van Ploon. who had been
much troubled of late, brightened and
nodded his round bead emphatically.
"That's what I say." he declared.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is crlrel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remombor the ''dose" mother Insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated thorn, how you fought
against taking thorn.
With our children lt'a different
Mothers who cling to tbe old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. Tho children's revolt is well-founded.
Their tendor little "lr.sldes" are
Injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only dell
clous "California Byrup of Figs." Iti
action Is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take It; that it never falls to
cloan the liver and bowels and sweet
en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor
row. Ask at the store for a EO-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

A countryman was driving his curt

the horses were unahlo to draw tho
cart out of It Tho countryman at
once began to call upon Hercules to
help him out of his difficult!.
"Put your shoulder to the wheel,"
said Hercules. "Whip up your horses
and help them, tor that Is the only
way to obtain the aid thnt you want."
They are helped who help them
selves. From the Fables of Aesop, the
Slave.
