CHAPTER III
We-Wee and Leoni.
W tober HEN day Renshaw was sending awoke, its the com- Oc

able. His nex s Incredulity. He
had slept—had actually slept for
hours! His third, the comp on of
memory, was a slow-growing, deep
rooted, and sardonic amusement at
his own expense.
What an ass he had been the
night before! In the light that was

He sat up, blinked aguln, and
yawned widely. His big room was
wonderfully cheerful, and part of
Its brightness, he now discovered,
was due to the coloring that still
lingered on some of tlie maple trees
whose branches almost touched his
windows. He got out of bed. turned
on ing a toilet coidjbath, anil made his morn
with an increasing sense
of acquiescence in the fact of living.
As he shaved, his lips almost
puckered into a smile at the new
expression of the face that con
fronted him in his mirror. At last
he hjul taken in the fact, so hard to
grasp the day before, that he hnd
cast from his shoulders the Atlas
like weight they hajl been
His future, for a year, was assured.
He was a being without responsibil
ity. Tn this environment, so iso
lated, yet so homelike nnd so peace
ful, he could accept hls cure. At
the end of thp year—for the first
time he told this to himself with en
tire conviction—he would be a well
man, nnd would know he was! And
what the deuce was the good of be
ing a well man if one didn’t know
he waS well?
He went down to breakfast with
a vigor in his step that, was not
wholly assumed. At the foot of the
staircase he paused, not quite cer
tain whether to turn into the living
room or go on to the dining room.
Breakfast might not be ready. He
had not remembered, the night be
fore, to ask at what Vmr It was
served. As he hesitaten, the com
placent personality of Jenks came
toward him from the rear of the
hall. Renshaw nodded.
“Good morning, Jenks. What’s
the breakfast hour here?”
“Breakfast’s on now, sir.”
Jenks followed Renshaw Into the
room, where a young footman the
latter had not seen before was ar
ranging chafing dishes on the side
board. This youth suspended Ills
labors, and in response to an eye
flash from Jenks hastened to draw
out a clinir for the newcomer.
’ "We follow the English plan, s!r\”
Jenks observed, with a steadfast
' eye on the movements of his sub
ordinate. “The members of the fam
ily come in when they like and helh
themselves from the hot dishes on
the sideboard. But If you don’t find
Just what you want, sir, James,
here, will fetch It from the kitchen ”
Renshaw nodded again. “Thanks,"
he said, nnd strolled over to the row
of silver dishes whose contents sim
mered above sp1t4t-1ahips. He lifted
the lid of each 1n turn, finding a
cereal In one, scrambled eggs and
bacon in another, and kidneys in a
third. He helped himself to eggs
and bacon and returned to the tnhle,
where James poured his coffee, lift
ed the cover of tlie muffin dish, and
set a plate of orange marmalade
within convenient reach.
Anything else, sir?
■ Nothing, thanks. I’ll help my
self.”
James faded away as unobtrusive
ly as a mist before (he snn. Hls
manner and service had been per
fect. But, notwithstanding Ren
shaw’s seeming absorption ln hls
breakfaRt, the secretary had been
conscious of one thing: not once,
while James remained in the room,
had the footman removed his eyes
from him. They were young eyes_
round nnd dear and l-utlier boyish
They were discreet eyes, which
dropped humbly before a superior
nnd which could not meet directly
the all-seeing gaze of Jenks. But
they were observant eyes, neverthe
less, nnd undoubtedly they had
taken in every detail of. the new
man’s dress, manner and general
appearance. l

from anywhere.
He drank the last of hls coffee.
His appetite had improved with hls
spirits, and he had eaten a surpris- I
ing amount of eggs and bacon.
Evidently the Camphells break- ,
fasted late. It was half after eight
when lie left the dining room, and
none of tlie family had yet ap
peared. He went out for a stroll
In the grounds. There were sug
gestions of a big estate here—wide,
unexplored spaces at the right and
left and in the rear. He followed
some of them—to (lower gardens
whose sweet alyssum and dying
chrysanthemums were their sole re
malnlng blooms, to vegetable-gar
dens near the rear of the house,
and, finally, to the discovery of a
secret walled garden far off at the
left, whose entrance was down a '
flight of stone steps.

It was a very tiny owner, almost
a baby. It could not have be£n

It wore a blue “bunny suit” of coat,
trousers, cap and leggings, and the
cap was drawn so far over its face
and ears that only a pair of wide
gray eyes, a dot of a nose, and a
button of a mouth were visible. As
Ranshaw stared, the mouth widened
into a smile that revealed two deep 1
dimples.
"Hello!” exclaimed Renshaw, In
“Do’ mor’ing!"
The conversation languished, and
the lady, unembarrassed bv the fact,
filled the pause by lifting her feet
and swinging on the gentleman’s
hand. Renshaw stiffened to mett ,
the strain, and then, after some heal- '
tathm, entering the spirit of tbe
game, exerteti hls strength and lift

yelped in ecstasy, and he put her

But UenshsVn appearance was

extended brought additional com
fort. The old man, always suscepti

as varying as a weather cock in his

“I hope I haven’t dragged you

that international trade must halve

races, for we find that Abraham
was riel,, not only iri cattle, but in
silver, gold, and gold aud silver
plate and ornaments (Gen. 13:2;
24 :22, 53). Among trading nation*
mentioned In Scripture, Egypt
bolds in very early times a promi

trade was carried on, not by her
own citizens, but by foreigners—
chiefly of the nomadic raeea.- The
internal trade of the Jews, us well
us the external, was much pro
moted, as was the case also In
Ek.vpt, by the festivals, which
brought large numbers of persons
to Jerusalem, and caused great
outlay In victims for sacrifice and
in incense (I Kings 8:«3). The
places of public market were, then,

Take Salts To Wash Kidneys If
Bark Pains Your or
Bladder Bothers
Flush your kidneys by drinking
a quart of w»ater each day, also
take salts occasionally, says a
noted authority, who tells us that
too much rich food forms acids
which almost paralyze the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, diz
ziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and ir
ritated, obliging you to seek re
lief during the night.
To help neutralize these Irritat
.
ing acids, to help cleanse the
kidneys and flush off the body's
urinous waste, get four ounces
of Jad Saits from any pharmacy
here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast
for a few days, and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutral
ize the acids in the system BO
they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can
not injure and makes a delightful
effervescent lithia-water drink. By
all means have your physician ex
amine your kidneys at least twice
a year.—Adv.
