The Man Who Knows Whether the Remedy You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains is SAFE is Your Doctor. Ask Him Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's to Unknown Preparations Well-Bein- g take any BEFORE you you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he in comparison thinks about it with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most "pain" remedies were advised against by phvsicians ns being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Bemembcr this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at anu drug store simply by never asking for it by the name "aspirin" alone, but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy. ed Bayer Aspirin Alio Building A scholar Is as much a man as one who builds a fortune. self-mad- e VEGETABLE CORRECTIVE DID TRICK were fcrttinij on each (her's nrrvrt. liUrslm.il lUKRiihnrt was ic.illy the caiiw made them tin-iih frrqurnt tV;id-achr- a, Hut btlnxn i that is all chanprd mw. ! thrv diarovrmL like miliums o( tuht in, that i lutuie woviilrd tl ct- - . jv?'

'Well, we ain't exactly got him, but he's 'ere's a list o' the petrol-pump- s used.'" - He let out a bitter laugh. "E's a nasty mind," said Rush.

"Anyways, young Arthur ain't here," and, with that he let in his clutch. I ran for the Rolls like a madman and, pfinting Incoherence to Helena, started the engine and backed the car onto the road. An Instant later we were flying in pursuit of Bugle and Rush. After a frantic ten minutes I knew that my qnarry was lost "John, If they come out tomorrow, I bet we follow them home." M'We'?" said L "You're not coming out again." "I certainly am," said Helena. "For one thing, I simply love It, and you're not going to say after this that you can do It alone?" To my horrid disappointment, we' kept a fruitless vigil the next two nights. So two days and two nights went by, and I had no news of Geoffrey, and, to Judge from the wires which he sent he had none for me. Our third patrol was over, and my lady and I were riding back from Plumage as the dawn was peering over the eastern woods, Helena turned to me. "Will you come and dine this evening? I'm not going to dress." "I'd love to, Helena." "Then you ride up by yourself at a quarter to eight and tell Axel to bring up the roan and be at the edge of the forest at half-panine. I hesitated. Then "I wish." I said, "you'd give It a miss tonight" "It Isn't every day that I fall foul of people like Pharaoh and crowd. The time's out of Joint my dear John; and If I'm to help reduce It, I've got to step out of my beat And here we are. Don't look. I'm going to get off." As she gave me the reins, I had the maddest Impulse to throw myself off my horse and take her Into my arms. As I pulled myself together "You're trembling, John. Are yon cold?" "No." said I. "I'm dreaming. Yon know how dogs shake and quiver when they're dreaming some curious dream." "What are yon dreaming?" asked Helena. "That you and I have ridden np through the forest to the castle to which you belong; that the dawn's coming tip, like the frost on a glass of cold water to wake a workaday world; that you're standing there with Sabre, locking at me and smiling." Her smile deepened into a laugh. "Am I unreal?" "Oh. no. You're wonderfully real. But all the rest is fantastic the hour, the setting, our having the world to ourselves. And you've lne it all, Helena. You've made the riiaglr, created he When you go, It's g..n; to go, too. . . . ifg terribiy hard to explain."
