There was nothing remarkable, it seems to me, about her being able, quite easily, to deceive all of us, with the single, glaring exception of John. , When John curne home from on the fourth of July, he was fuceil with the apparent fact that Dunny, In the course of a few hours, had changed essentially.That was wtiat hud hot tiered him so; what had made him jerk his head, and blink his eyes, and complain of a touch of sun. John had never recognized, much less admitted to himself, that there wus the slightest similarity between the two girls. Consequently, In spite of a change, Danny must be Danny; she looked like Danny, she talked like Danny, and we all said thnt she was Danny. John believed. He at once set the fact of Danny's change against the fact of Gabys murder and there he stuck fust; too loyal to go further; too dismayed to retreat. He did not believe that DanHe had ny had killed Gabrlelle. known Danny too well to harbor such a belief, lie was forced to believe that she knew who had done it. Consequently. her accusation of Sam could be nothing but a wicked accusation Only Danny could not be wicked. The mystery was a torture which Dannys presence intensified unbearably; so he avoided her; and, unalde to blame her for anything, blamed himself and hated himself for his sus pieions and for his falling loyalty. I'll venture, though it ran he only a venture, that the realization of his Interest in Miss MacDonald, and his inability to he rid of It, was another cause for Johns befuddlemenL That interest, of course, has all dls appeared for the present Though he despised himself for It, John might have been untrue to a changed, living Danny; might.

The bookkeeper, you know, complained one evening as he pushed away his untasted plate of mutton stew : Gee, I wish I had an appetite for once. Oh, go on, George! his wife said What do you want an Impatiently. appetite for? It would only give you more dyspepsia. IGL What this Doctor did for Humanity As a young man the late Dr. R. V. Pierce, practiced medicine in Pennsylvania and was known far and near for his great success in alleviating disease. Finally he moved to Buffalo, N. Y, and put up in readv-to-us- e form, his GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY, the well known tonic for the blood. This strength builder is made from a formula which Dr. Pierce found most effective when in private practice. It aids digestion, acts as a tonic and enriches the blood clears away pimples and annoying eruptions and tends to keep the complexion fresh and clear. All druggists. Tabl'd s nr liquid.

Nothing compares with it as a gentle but certain laxative, and it goes further than this. It regulates the stomach and bowels and gives tone and strength to these orcans so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. There are many Imitations of California Fig Syrup, so look for the name California on the carton to be sure you get the genuine. W, N. U Salt Lake City, No. 1 |
