When yon wake op with backache «nd dull misery lu the kidney region It may mean that you have been eat ing foods which create acids, says a ■well-known authority. Ah excess of «nch acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and *oggy. \yhen your kidneys get slug- ^sh and clog you must relieve them, .tike you relieve your bowels, remov ing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, ■dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weath er is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged*to seek relief two or tliree times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy sician at orite or get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys mai^ then act fine. This fan^ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combiiled with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stim ulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu tralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving ■ bladder weakness. Jad §alts Is inexpensive, cannot In jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of •soft water.

Jars dk Tobag At last a cheerful whistle In the lower regions drew him down a flight of stairs to what appeared to be an underground storeroom. Here a bulky, overalled ihdlvidual, looming large in the semi-darkness, stopped In his labor of pushing about some boxes and re garded Laurie with surprise. "Are you the watchman?” asked the latter, briskly. ‘T am thatjl.’ , "Were you here last night?” ^ “I was.” "Was anyone else here?" "Dlvll a wan.” I "Did you hear any noise during the night?” "DlylLxa bit.” "WCTe you asleep?” “I was,” admitted the watchman, simply. His voice was Hibernian, and rich with tolerant good humor. "I want to' make a trade with yon.” The newcomer held out his silk hat. "Will you give me your hat, or any old hat you’ve got around the place, for this?’* “I will,” said the watchman calmly. Though good-humored, he seemed a man of few words. “And who might you be?”, he added. “I came In last night with Mr. Shaw, and I spent the night here. When 1 woke up,” added Laurie dryly, “I found that my host had moved.” The watchman sadly shook his head. . "You’re a young lad,” he said, with friendly sympathy. "’Tis a pity you’ve got into these habits.” Laurie grinned at hliii. He had dis covered that-hls money, like his watch, was sa^e in his pockets. Taking out a bill, he showed it to his com^hlonr "Do you like the looks of that?” he Inquired. "I da” admitted the watchman warmly. "Tell meW you know about Shaw, and take It for your trouble.” “I will,” promptly agreed the other, "but *tl8 not much you’ll get for your money, for ’tls little enough I know 'The man you’re talkin’ about, I sup pose, Is the fat fella with eyes you could hang yer hat on, that had the back room on the ground floor.” "That’s the one.” "Then all I know Is, he moved in three days ago, and he moved out two hours ago. What he did between times I don't know, but he paid for the room for a month In advance, so nobody’s mournin’ his loss.” “Did he say why he was going, or where?” "Dlvll a word did he say. He was in a hurry, that lad. He had a gang of three men with him, and they had the place empty in ten minutes. I lent ’em a hand, an’ he gave me a dol lar, and that’s the last I saw of him." A sudden thought struck the watch man. “Where was you all the time?” he asked with Interest. "In the cellar.” The watchman nodded, understand- Ingly. "You're too young for that sort of thing, me boy. Now, I’m no teetotaler meself,” he went on argumentatively. "A glass once in a while Is all right. If a man knows whin to stop. But—” "How about that hat?” Interrupted the restive victim of this homily. “Have you got one handy?” * "I have.” The watchman disappeared Into a shadowy corner and returned with a battered derby. . “An’ a fine grand hat It Is!” he earnestly assured the newcomer, as* he banded It over. Laurie took the hat and put it on hl^ head, where, being too small for him, it perched at a rakish angle. He dropped the bank note Into his own silk hat, and handed them to his com- panlo6, who accepted them without visible emotion. Evidently, brief though Ills stay In the building had been, Herbert Ransome Shaw had ac customed Its watchman to surprises. Laurie’s last glimpse of the man as he hurried away showed him, with ex- tregfe efficiency and the swift simul taneous-use of two well-trained hands, putting the silk hat on his head and the bill In Ivls pocket. Laurie rushed through the early Blast side streets. He was not often abroad at this hour, and even in his anxiety It surprised him to discover how many were abroad so early in the morning. The streets seemed full of pretty girls, hastening to factories WNU Service he could, and must. |To remain in his isp ’could aa4 u 'thiej ’jptfoft glqom tb«t Ipr^ It igid again to thooghto-i||(^ Arji&a^ iB^' JUa dot^,..a strong fei^tatitiA. caaw to falm. to Bangs sl^.

But now ho had nelth’ef thought nor eyes Mr t^em. His ai;gent needs .were first the as surance that Doris, was safe, and next the privf^ of his own fooms, a bath, and a change of clothing. * Obviously, be could not present himself to Doris Ui the sketchy ensemble he present ed now; or conld he? He decided that present state of suspense a moment -longer than he need do was nnthink able. In a surprisingly short time he was in the studio building, facing the man Sam had called Henry, a yawning night elevator man who regarded him and his questions with a pessimism partly due to the lack of sleep and fatigue. These combined Influences led him to making short work of get ting rid of this unkempt and unseason able caller. "No, sah,” he said. "Miss Mayo don receive no callers at dls yere hour. No, Sah, Sam don’ come on tell eight o’clock. No, sah, I caln’t take no messages to no ladles what ain’t out dey beds ylt. I got to pert^k dese yere folks, I has,” he ended austerely, The caller peeled ^ bill from his ever-ready roll, and the face of the building’s guardian angel changeif and softened. “P’haps I conld jes’ knock on Miss Mayo’s do’, ” he suggested after thought-filled Interval. “That’s all I want,” agreed Laurie. "Knock at her door and ask het Mr. Devon may call.at nine and take her out to breakfast. Tell her he has something very important to say to her.” - “Yaas, sah.” The guardian was all humility.*' He accepted the bill, and almost slmul taneously the elevator rose out of sight The Interval before Its return was surprisingly short, but too long for the nerves of the caller. Laurie, pacing the lower hall, filled it with apprehenslona.and visions which drove “the blood from his heart. He £ould have embraced -Henry ^when -the-fatter appeared, wearing” an expansively re assuring grin. “Miss Mayo she say, *Ya4s,’ he briefly reported. Under the force of the nervous re action he experienced, Laurie«fictual ly caught the man’s arm. “She's there?” he jerked 6ut “You’re sure of it?” , “Yaas, sah.” Henry spoke sooth Ingly, By this time he had made a’ diagnosis of the caller’s condition which agreed with that of the night- watchman Laurie had just inter viewed. . “She say, ‘Yaas,’ ” he repeated, done say what you tol’ me, and she say, ‘Tell de genman, Yaas,’ jes like dat.”. “All right.’’ Laurie jiodded and strode off. For the first time he was breathing naturally and freely. She was there. She was safe. »In a little more than an hour he Wotnd see her In the meantime his urgent needs were a bath and a change of clothing As soon as he was dressed he would go back to the studio building and keep watch In the corridors until she was ready. Then, after breakfast, he would personally conduct her to the security of Louise Ordway’s home. Louise need hot see her, If she did not feel up to it, but she would sure ly give her asylum after hearing Lau rie’s experiences of the night. That was his plan. It seemed good one. He did not admit even to himself that under the -air of sang froid he wore as a garment, every In stinct In him was crying out for the sound of Doris’ voice. Also, as he hurried along, he was conscious that a definite change was taking place In his attitude toward Herbert Ransome Shaw. Slowly, reluctantly, but fully, he had now accepted the fact that “Bertie” represented a force that must be reckoned with. He Inserted the latch-key Into the door of Ills' apartment with an Inward prayer that Bangs would not be vis ible, and for a moment he hoped It had been granted. But when he en tered their common dressing-room he found his chum there, in the last stages of his usual careful toilet. He greeted Laurie without surprise or comment, in the detached, absent man ner he had assumed of late, and Lau rie hurrfhd Into the bathroom and turned oh the hot water, glad of the excuse to escape even a tete-a-tete. That greeting of Ban^’ added the final notes to the tninor symphony life was playing for him this morning. As he lay back in the hot .water, relax ing his stiff, bruised body, the thought came that possibly he and Rodney were really approaching the final breaking point. Bangs was not or dinarily a patient chap. He was too impetuous .and - high-strung for that. But he had been wonderfully, patient with this friend of his heart. If it were true that the friendship was dy ing under the strain put uiJon it, and Laurie knew how possible this was, a\d how swift and intense were Bangs’ reactions, life henceforth, how ever full It might be, would lack an element that had been singularly vital and comforting. He tried to think of whalf future days would be without Bangs^ exuberant personality to fill them with work and colov be Rodney’# advioe and Jtelp in oatying Doris’ tangiei^''j,>fv, j **’ » ...

Outwardly .he showed no signs oT'the. anxiety that racked him, but presftit- ed to Sam, when that appreciative youth stopped his elevator at the ground floor, the Sartorial perfecflon which Sam always vastly admired and sometimes dreamed of imitating. But for such perfection Sam had no eyes today. At this early hour-«-lt was not much more than half-past eight—he had brought down only two passengers, and no one but Laurie was.waiting for the upward journey. When the Doris Was Not There, but Her Win dow Waa and Hanging From Its Center Was Something Bright That Caught His Eye and Instantaneous Recognition. two tenants of the building had walked far enough toward '’its front entrance to be ‘out of earshot, Sam grasped Laurie’s arm and almost dragged him into the car. As he did so, he hissed four words: “She gone. Mist’ Devon I” “Gone! Where? When?” Laurie had not expected this. He realized now that he should have done so. His failure to take In the possi bility of her going was part of his in fernal optimism, of his inability even now to take her situation at its face value. Sam was answering his ques tions : . 4 “’Bout eight, jes’ after Henry went and I come on. An aut’mobile stop In front de do', an’ dat man wld de eyes he come In. I try stop him fum takln’ de car, but he push me on one side an’ order me up, like he was Wilson hlsself. So I took him to de top Ho'. But when we got dere an’ he wefJt to Miss Mayo’s do’, I jes’ kep’ de car right dere an’ watch him.” “Good boy. What happened?” “He knock an’ nullin’ happen.

He "was doing hls sihall part now to help her, If, • a'§ he evidently suspected. ■ there was sonisthihj’ sinister in her departure. Enferlng the fapdllar studio, f>anrie looked around It with a pang. Uniike the quarters of- Shaw, it remained an- /;hanged. The room, facing ^north .as It did, looked,a little cold In the early light, but It was still stampedi'tvlth the lnTt)re8s of. Its former occupant. The flowers he had given -rtter only yes-, terday hung, their heads In mod est welebine, .and half a dozen ej'e-fla^es revealed half’ a dozen lipfhely little ' details that were .full ‘of i%assurance. Here, open and face down on .the rSadlng^-taMe, was a book she might have dropped that minute. There was the long mirror before-whieh-she-brushed Jter wouder- ful hair and, yes, the sliver-backed brushes with which she brushed It. On the writing-table were a pencil and a torn sheet of paper, as If s^e had just dashed off a hurried note. In short, everything In the room suggested that the owner, whose pres ence still hung about it, might return at any Instant. And yet, there In the window, where he had hglf Jokingly told her to place It, hung the brilliant symbol, of danger which he himself had selected. He walked over and took It from the latch. In doing this, he discov ered that only half the scarf hung there, and that one end was jagged, as If roughly and hastily cut off. He put the scarf into hls pocket. As he did so, hls pulses leaped. Pinned to its folds was a bit of paper, so small and soft that even the Inquisi tive eye of Sam, following his every motion, failed to detect It. Laurie turned to the black boy. “We’d better get out of here,” he suggested, tr.vlng to speak carelessly and leading the way as he spoke. “Miss Mayo may be back at iany mo ment.” Sam’s eyes bulged till they rivaled Shaw’s. “You don’ t’lnk she gone?” he stam mered. • “Why should we think she has gone?” -Laurie tried to grin at him “Perhaps she’s ‘merely taking an au tomobile ride, or an early train for a day in the country. Certainly nothing here looks as if she had gone awa.v for good. People usually pack, don’t they?” ♦». Sam dropped hls eyes. Hls face, human till now, took on Its familiar, sphinxlike look. He followed/‘Mist’ Devon” Into-the elevator In silence, and started the car on Its downward journey.
