My stomach was so bad I did not retain any food for three or four weeks and I was troubled with gas and sourness. I doctored with my two favorite doctors and a Chiropractto who said my nerves were so badly deranged that was on the verge of hysteria. My heart was bad and circulation so bad that my limbs were almost paralyzed. One day I sent for a copy of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, which I read and decided to make a trial of Dr. Pierce's medicines. At that time I was enly able to stay up a few minutes at a time. After taking two bottles I was able to be on my feet all day. I am now able to cat anything without discomfort and never have the dryness in my mouth in the morning nor any bowel trouble.

VI 10 During the following days Dave had a keener eye than usual for evidences of "Industrial development." He found them on every hand. Old properties, long considered unsalable, were changMoney moved easily; ing owners. tradesmen wages were stiffening; were In demand. There was material for many good stories In his Investigations. He began writing features on the city's prosperity and prospects. The rival paper did the same and there was soon started between them a competition of optimism. The great word beefine "boost." The virus was now In the veins of the community, pulsing through every street and byway of the little city. Dave marveled, and wondered how he had failed to rend these signs until Conward had laid their portent bare before him. But as yet It was only his news sense that responded ; his delight In the strange and the sensational. He was not yet Inoculated with the poison of easy wealth. Ills nights were busy with his Investigations, but on Sunday, as usual, he went out to the Duncans'. Mrs. Duncan explained that Edith had gone to visit a girl friend in the country; would be gone nway for some time. Dave felt a foolish annoyance that she should have left town. She might at least have called him up. Why should she call him up? Of course not? Still, the town was very empty. He drove with Mrs. Duncan In the afternoon, and at night took a long walk by the river. lie had a vague but oppressive sense of loneliness. He had not realized what part of his life these Sunday afternoons with Edith had come to be. A few days later Conward strolled He In, with the Inevitable cigarette. smoked In silence until Dave completed a story. "Good stuff you're giving us," he commented, when the article was finished. "Remember what I told you the other day? It's Just like putting i match to tinder. Now we're off." Conward smoked n few minutes in silence, but Dave could not fall to see the excitement under his calm exterior. He had, as he said, decided to "sit" in In the biggest game ever played. The Intoxication of sudden wealth had already fired his blood. He slipped a bill to Dave. "For your services in that little transaction," he explained. Elden held the bill In his fingers gingerly, as though It might carry Infection, as in very truth it did. He realized that he stood at a turning-poin- t that everything the future held for him might rest on his present decision. There remained In him not a little of the fine, steru honor of the ranchman of the open range; an honor curious, sometimes terrible.

He was turning the matter over In his mind and wondering what the end would be, when a knock came at the door. "Come," he said, switching on the light. . . . "Oh, It's you, Bert! I'm honored. Sit down." Roberta Morrison threw her coat over a chair and sank into another. Without speaking, she extended her shapely feet to the fire, but when its soothing warmth had comforted her limbs she looked up and said: "Adam sure put It over ou us, didn't he?" "Still nursing that grievance over your sex?" laughed Dave. "I thought you would outgrow It." "I don't blame him." continued the girl, ignoring his interruption. "I am just getting back from forty-seveteas. Gabble, gabble, gabble. I don't blame him. We deserve it." "Then you have had nothing to eat?" "Almost.

"Who, me?" Then she laughed. "It would be mean to put over anything like that on a man, and a girl wouldn't have me." "Well, then, why don't you buy some real estate?" he continued, jocularly. "Every man should have some dissipationsomething to make him forget his other troubles." "A little late in the meal for that word, isn't it? But the fact is. have Invested."

"Invest that hundred." Dave looked at Conward sharply. Was he trifling? No, his eyes were frnnk and serious. "You mean It?" "Of course.

I've arranged for the necessary credits, but there will be some expenses for cables, etc., and you can put your hundred Into that. If we pull it off and we will pull it off we start up In business as Conward & Elden, or Elden & Conward, whichever sounds better. Boy, there's a fortune In It."

Allow, say, sixty thousand for grease and there Is still nine hundred thousnnd, and that doesn'tcount resale commissions. Dave, It's good for a cool million." Dave was doing rapid thinking. Suddenly he faced Conward and their eyes met. "Conward," he said, "you don't need my little hundred to put this over. Why do you let me In on It?" Conward smiled and breathed easily. There had been a moment of tension. "Oh, that's simple," he answered. "I figure we'll travel well in double harness. I'm a good mixer I know people and I've got Ideas. And you're sound and honorable and people trust you." "Thanks," said Dave, dryly. 'That's right," Conward continued. "We'll be a combination hard to beat." Dave had never felt sure of Conward, and now he felt less sure than ever. But the iust of easy money was beginning to stir within him. The bill In his hands represetted more than three weeks' wages. Conward was making moneymaking money fast, and surely here was an opportunity such as conies once In a lifetime. "I'll go you." he said to Conward, at last. "I'll risk this hundred, and a little more, if necessary." "Good." said Conward, springing to his feet and taking Dave's hand in a warm grasp. "Now we're away. But you better play safe.
