third story he ascended by a ladder to
the flat roof. • He knew exactly what
he had come to investigate. From one
of the windows of the fourth floor at
the Paradox he had. noticed the clothes
line which stretched across the Wynd-
ham roof from one corner to another.
He went straight to one of the posts
which supported the rope. He made
a careful study of this, then walked
to the .other upright support and ex-
amined the knots which held the line
fast here.
"I'm some good little guesser," he
murmered to himself -as he turned
back to the ladder and descended to
the floor below.
He moved quietly along the corridor
to the 'lire escape and stepped out
upon it. Then, very quickly and ex-
pertly, he coiled a rope which be took
from a paper parcel that had been
under his arm. At one end of the
coil was a loop. He swung this light-

feel the weight of it. The rope snak-

The Fount of Youth.
The fount of youth discovered by
our modern Ponce de Leona' does not
resemble at all closely the image in
the mind of .the early Spanish navi-
gator. Instead of being a pure stream
of water ,gushing from the bowels of
the earth, they have found it to be
white streams, filled with all the
nutrients needed to give you to every
tissue of the body. They come from
the udder of the humble dairy cow.
The discovery of modern scientists
does not bring the presto changes that
the Spaniard hoped to find in the foun-
tain he searched for, but they do know
that the regular use of the Maid from
the udder of the healthy dairy cow
is a real elixir of youthfulness. Not
only does its constant use keep the

that our magazine, TRUE ROMANCES, has .been barred
by the custom or post -office officials.
Magazines are barred from Canada because of corn -

adverse critics of our publications rarely read them. From
the title and .general appearance they sometimes class them
with publications which depend entirely upon their sale
through lascivious appeal. As a reader of this publication
-you know that the magazines we publish are not of that
character.
We would be greatly pleased, therefore, if you would in-
dicate your friendly feeling toward TRUE ROMANCES and.
your confidence in it by petitioning the Commissioner of
Customs, Ottawa, Canada, that such "reinstatement be made.
At the foot of this announcement is a brief form of
petition provided for your convenience. Will you not sign
it to -day and mail it to E. J. Blackley, 130 Richmond St.
West, Toronto, who will present it together with the large
number of similar petitions to the Commissioner of Customs
as soon as they are all in.
