LEARNING USES
OF MAGNESIA
From the beginning of expectancy
until baby is weaned, Phillips’ Milk
of Magnesia performs the greatest
service for many women.
It relieves nausea, heartburn,
“morning sickness,” inclination to
vomit; helps digestion. Its mild.lax¬
ative action assures regular bowel
movement.
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia is bet¬
ter than lime water for neutralizing
cow’s milk for infant feeding. '
All drugstores have Phillips’ Milk
of Magnesia in generous 25c and 50c
bottles. Always insist on the genuine,
endorsed by physicians for 50 years.
His Lucky Day
When a bandit ordered Earl Walk¬
er, Detroit filling station attendant,
to put up his hands Walker did not
comply at once and the holdup man
tired at him. Walker, feeling a jar.
on his chest, thought lie was done
for. Putting ills hand to the spot, tie
found the bullet stuck In his vest.'
Watching Walker stand unhurt and
pull the bullet apparently out of his
vest pocket was too much for the
bandit, who made his getaway with¬
out further ceremony. It is sup¬
posed the cartridge in the holdup's
gun was defective and the bullet
lacked force.

SELLING ASPIRIN
IN THE WORLD FOR
No Suppression There
We asked the prominent westerner
if it were true that the California
papers suppressed all news of local
sCiSmological disturbances.
“Not when i lived there they
didn’t,” he answered emphatically,
“Why,” whenever there was an earth¬
quake in Los Angeles all the San

To “Point-Up” Appetite
Just Stimulate Bowels
Whenever the end of the day finds
you out-of-sorts; food doesn’t tempt
you and won’t digest; breath is bad;
tongue coated, just chew a candy
tablet before bedtime. Tomorrow
you’ll be a new person !
A candy Cascaret clears up a
.
bilious, gassy, headachy condition
every time. Puts appetite on edge.
Helps digestion. Activates bowels.
Cascarets are made from eas
cara, which authorities say actually
strengthens bowel muscles. So take
these delightful tablets as often as
you please; or give them freely to
children. All drug stores sell Cas
carets for 'a dime, and no dollar
preparation could do better work.

Society is largely based on appear¬

CHAPTER X—Continued
—19—
He was off, and soon Sir George
could see the lights on the little
bridge; to the island. Glad to see
them, too, in spite of the fact that he
Would have to' face .Roberta. Mae
Beth's hostile eyes across, the. dinning
table. What did the girl want any¬
how? He had done his best for her
father and for her, arid if she thought
he'd told about her friend of the other
night, she was mistaken, though she
might have to hear some ugly tales
about that lad soon, if ills recognition
this afternoon should prove that Jack
Navarro was mixed tip in the attempt
on th* payroll. If it was true, it was
plain why Navarro never came to the
house. He had probably given the
girl some highly romantic reason.
What drove a girl like Roberta to a
aly fellow like that sleek-haired lad,
when there were men like Ray and
Dunham about? It did not occur to
him, Roberta being a girl, that It was
the aame thing that had brought him
here to MaeBeth's island; that had
made him risk hts akin today—ad¬
venture, and the desire for things
Bew and strange.
After .dinner lie would go down to
Sreeu Bend and see Alice or Nell,
and rest his tired brain. Nice girls,
not nearly so disturbing as Roberta.
He reached the bridge, clattered
across it and up to the terrace.
Roberta and Ray were already there.
They had passed him when the po¬
liceman halted him, they told him,
without his observing them. 1 Lady
Sandison came running down the ter¬
race steps and grasped him. It was
the first time Aggy had hugged him
Mnce he was seven, but she bad lost
nothing by want of practice.
“Oh, my laddie! Did they touch
you?”
“Not a touch," Sir George said In
what be thought was a truly Ameri¬
can mapiier. “Now hands off, I must
report to the chief.”
MacBeth sat in his library, tele¬
phone near at hand. He was drawing
*u a- piece of paper and trying to
dook businesslike, but the band that
fetid the pencil shook a little, as he
aaw Sir George In the doorway. Just
by so little had this shining young
head missed death on this wonderful
day in this peaceful countryside and
It was he, Robert MacBeth, who had
»«t him, on his dangerous way—to
wave a few miserable thousands.
But that was not' the way Sir
George looked at ,lt.
“Well, we -pulled it off, sir. .Chicago
wasn’t ‘in it,’ as you say over here.
I've had a great day,” lie concluded,
and then hesitated as he saw the ex¬
pression on Robert MaeBeth’s face.
“I—I did hope you’d be pleased.”
“I’m just terribly pleased, but I’m
d glad 4’s over. Aggy was in
euch a s.tew.”
“Oh, you’ve got to make allowance
for Aggy,” her stepson said. “She
thinks that without her supervision
end superintendence, the Sandisons
would have perished. Maybe she’s
right, at that,” he added, remember¬
ing the ..debt of gratitude the family
really owed Aggy. “But she has an
awfully aggravating way of acting as
though she were still my nurse.”
Robert MacBeth laughed.
“But leaving Aggy out of It en¬
tirely, sir, as we must. I'll ask you to
think of this’ and diseusfc it after din¬
ner. ••Why'did the-beggars attack the
bank-today and why’did they come up
the^towpath? Was it because the bunk
robbers in New York got word throngh
that I was there after the money? Or,
and this I think the more likely, was
it because there was a leak somewhere
'
—here?” ' '
Roberta called cheerfully:. “Sir
George, Aunt Aggy sbys_ riot fo dress,
but come as you are' 'None' 0 ? us ape,
dressing tonight."
“Oh, blast!” ejaculated Sir George
ss he sprang to his feet, “that means
I must get some of the soli from my
face and hands.” He disappeared.
* *.«■* • • •
In the cheap Philadelphia restau¬
rant only two men met at their cus¬
tomary table.' The waitress asked the
older min, who -had come in first:
“Where's your friends?”
“Ah—” the Sound was like a smoth¬
ered oath, “that is what I should like
to know myself.”
Jack entered' and approached the
table. The older man nodded and let
fcirn slip into his chair and give an
order before he spoke.
“Well?"
Jack ghrugged his shoulders. “Well
•—is it my fault if Paul bungled it?
Check up on toe! Everything I got
was straight. They had the money in
the country bank and he did take it to
the works. The New York car was a
decoy, as I told you. The man who
Slipped up is Paul."
“They have Paul.”
“What! Will be squeal?”
The older man was silent. Then
he looked up and asked, “The girl?
Does she suspect you?”
Jack shook his head. "I told her
enough about him to keep her from
believing anything he says about me.”
Th« older man looked at him grimly.

the payroll’s lost to us, you must get
the cash through the girl.”
*•**»*•
Roberta was feeling a little lonely.
Here where she used to be first, with
her father and those within the house,
Sir George seemed to have taken first
place away from her. Even the
servants watched for him, tried to
anticipate his wishes, and as for her
aunt and father, why, quite evidently
as Aunt Aggy had said, they both
looked to him for amusement and ex¬
citement. That this was partly her
own fault Roberta knew vaguely* but
resolutely siie insisted to herself that
she had been justified, even now when
tlie demands of her newest friend
made her feel reluctant and a little
fearful.
Jack was growing impatient and in¬
sistent. Would she agree or would
she not? And how had it come about
that Jack held such importance in
her life?
She was utterly weary of this island
and this life she told herself, and yet
at that moment how bright and
sparkling the island looked. How
lovely the countryside round about!
And where, she thought, would she
get two people like her aunt and her
father under one roof, ready and will¬
ing to do anything for each other and
for her? Yes, now that it came to
screwing up her courage to take the
step that would sever her, maybe for¬
ever, from them, with all their faults
and errors In their treatment of her,
Roberta hesitated. What would it be
like to be quite alone in the world
with Jack?
“Roberta?” called her aunt’s voice
from the hall. “Where are you?”
“Here,” Roberta answered with a
start. “Come to my room, Auntie.”
She heard her aunt's quick, decided
footsteps, then the door opened and
she came In.
“Your father’s bent on having his
young engineers out for the week-end.
He wants to talk over his plans with
them and have them know Sir George
better. He said you would know just
what to do, and where to send the
invitations. He wants yon Browne,
and a man called Arlent, another called
McAvoy, two cousins of the same
name, Tom and Terry Haugton and an
older man, McBurney. He said you
were to ask Roger Dunham, too, and
Jist for the afternoon and to stay to
supper, He’d like you to ask a few
iassies to make it pleasant for the
men.” Then she hesitated. “Roberta,
(t would please your father something
awful if you would put yourself out a
bit for these young men. lie takes
pride in his daughter, you know.” She
looked at the girl a little wistfully.
“He sets a great store by you, my lass.”
Roberta turned abruptly away.
Somehow she could not face her aunt,
but she said pleasantly enough, “Why,
of course, Aunt Aggy, I’ll do what I
can. But after tea on Sunday,” she
hesitated and then went on, “I have
an engagement, and you'll have to
manage the rest by yourself.”
“You couldn't break it, I suppose?
It may be fanciful of me,'but I have
a kind of feeling that he—Rob I mean
—will be disappointed if you are not
there. You see the young men will be
going Sunday night.”
“Oh!” exclaimed Roberta. "They
generally stay until Monday morning."
“This time they are all going Sunday
night and on Monday there’s a jaunt
to the construction works, with Sir
George driving your father. It’ll he
your father’s first try at going out
in a car.”
Roberta faced about and looked at
her aunt. “Do you—Does Sir George
think there is any danger—for Father?”
“Well,” admitted her aunt, “they
say not. I can see, however, that
having diddled the robbers so cleverly,
it’ll maybe make those black-hearted
rogues that are left so angry that
Gauls and Romans First to Find Value of Soap
Very early in Biblical history it was
found that the ashes from fires, which
were then always of wood, were useful
in removing grease from the hands.
Ashes were thus the earliest form of
soap, and they remained so for a
long time.
The first of the more civilized peo¬
ples to discover how to make real soap
were the Romans. They learned the
secret from the Gauls, who used a
preparation made from wood ashes
and goat’s tallow for washing their
hair and beards, thus making them a
fiery red—a color they considered be¬
coming. The Romans developed the
new discovery considerably, but it was
many years before improved methods
of soap making were introduced.
In some parts of the world soap
making is even now carried out in
touch the same way as in Roman
times.
An old cask with holes bored in one
end is filled with alternate layers of
straw, lime and wood ashes. The
cask is then placed on a raised, slant¬
ing grooved board, and from time to
time water is poured on the contents,
until there emerges a brownish liquid,
which is collected in an iron pot and
boiled over a fire with the fat and

they’re like to get into any mischief
they can. At least that’s what I think
Sir George is anxious about. For the
lad's anxious, no matter what they say
before me, and he was awful partic¬
ular that I should tell you.”
Roberta’s heart contracted with
fear and anger combined. Though
Aunt Aggy gave her the message in
alt innocence, Roberta was sure Sir
George’s intention that she should be
told was not so innocent. He was
somehow, without any justification as
far as she could see, except his fear
of what Jack might say against him,
determined to throw some sort of slur
or suspicion on Jack, if lie possibly
could, rrobabiy wanted to influence
Dad against him, and so prevent his
believing anything Jack said.
Then quite suddenly she thought of
her father's danger. It was a new sen¬
sation for Roberta to be afraid for
anyone, yet she could not dismiss her
fears lightly this time. There had
been danger to Sir George, the other
day, though she laughed at the idea.
She could not bear to think or her
father being in any danger whan she—
“Oh, Aunt Aggy, can’t we persuade
Dad not to go?”
Aunt Aggy’s sharp blue eyes soft¬
ened. Tills girl did have some feeling,
after all. She did care about her
father. “Well, I don't know, my dear.
I don’t really think Rob will do any¬
thing for me just now, but,” and she
eyed the girl eagerly and shrewdly,
“there’s no telling what he might not
do for you, or if not he, there's Sir
Gaordie."
“Sir George will do nothing for me."
"Well, I’d Dot be quite as positive
of that as you are. You forget, my
dear, that you always approach him
with a lifted poker, as you might say.
Now, if you were to drop the poker
and, remembering that he’s a poor
young man and that you're a rich
young woman to whom he cannot
exactly be as up and coming aa some
others—why there’s no telling.”
“Aunt Aggy," said Roberta, amused
In spite of herself and a little exas¬
perated, “are you trying to tell me
that I don't know how to Interpret Sir
George’s manner to me? If you are
you may save yourself the pains. He's
not only looked things, but he’s said
things.”
“Did he so?” her aunt questioned,
her eyes screwing up with mirth.
“Well, that’s hopeful. There’s never
a lad would go to the trouble of in¬
sulting a good looking lass, unless he
wanted to attract her attention." She
rose briskly. “I must be off to my
ordering. Thank you, my dear.”
It was not until her aunt's footsteps
were far distant down the stairs that
Roberta moved. Then she put her
modern head down on her desk and
cried in a good old-fashioned way.
Lady Sandison passed her stepson
coming in with the evening papers.
“I say, Aggy, when you've time
there’s no end of a treat in store for
you. You should read the different
accounts of our little excitement In
these odd American papers, especially
the country ones. I mean to dip some
of them and send them to Havilant
and Uncle Charles.”
But in the library he foggot to read
or clip, for on turning over the pages
of one of the papers his eye caught
a name he knew. He stared, unable
to believe Ids eyes. There It was,
however, under marriage licenses :
“Roberta Jean MacBeth, Ma/cBeth’s

Was it just one of Nicaragua Jack’s'
tricks, or did Roberta know and con¬
sent? He had been unable to trace
any connection between Nicaragua

The fire Is then allowed to go out

“Oriental” Rug.
Indistinguishable from rugs made in
Persia, oriental floor coverings have
been made in Germany for more than
75 years. Early in the 1850’s a party
of Germans was sent to Persia to
master the details of the art. They
returned to Cottbus, near Berlin, and
the product of the hands and looms
found their way principally to Amer¬
ica. Only in 1913 was machinery in¬
troduced, when it was found that th#
work could be done not only faster
but better than by hand. Most of
those sent to America are sold as
“Smyrna” rugs. They are, however,
it is claimed, much finer in appearanc#
than those really made in Smyrna.
