Women should not despair even if they are troubled with Severe pains in the side or back, and not able to attend to their household duties. The kidneys of course, are to blame nine times out of ten, but they can 'be promptly and permanently made healthy by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. H. M.

As a rule she was careful and mincing in her speech but anger opened the flood gates of her vocabulary, and words rushed forth bruised and decapitated. With ehilosophic self effacement Bindle -covered the few feet between him and the door and vanished. He was a philosopher and, like Socrates, he bowed to the whirlwind of his wife's wrath. Conscious of having done everything humanly possible to obtain work, he faced the world with unruffled calm. - Mrs. Bindle's careless words, how- ever, sank deeply into his mind. Steal! Well, he had no very strongly ground- ed objection, provided he were not caught at it. Steal! The Word seem- ed to open up new possibilities for him. The thing was, how should he begin? He might seize a leg .of mut-. ton from. a butcher's shop and run; but • nature had not intended' him for a runner. He might smash -a jeweller's window, pick a pocket, or snatch a handbag; but in all these adventures fleetness of foot seem- ed essential. Crime seemed obviously for the sprinter.. To become a burglar re- cptired e.eperieuce and tools and Bin- dle possessed neither. Besides, bur- gling involved more risks than he cared to take. Had he paused to think, Bindle would have seen that stealing was crime; but his uncurable love of ad- venture. blinded him to all else. "Funny thing," he mumbled as he walked down Fenton Street. "Fun- ny thing, a daughter of the Lord, wantin! me to steal. Wonder wot ole 'Earty 'ud say."

Bindle strolled along towards Welham Green in. the happiest frame - of -Mind. . The night was young, it was, bare- ly nine a clock, and. his whole being yearned for soine adventure. He was still preoccupied -with the sub- ject- of larceny.

Some one might be watching him Two minutes later he drew forth his find for examination. Attached to the ring was a metal tablet, upon which were engraved the words: "These keys are the property of Pro- fessor Sylvanus •Conti, 13 Audrey Mansions, Queen's Club, West Kens- ington,. W. Reward for their return, 2s. 6d." • ' • The keys were obviously those of the outer- door of a block of mans- ions and the door of a flat. I; they were returned the reward was two shillings and sixpense which would bring up the day's taings to • nine shillings and sixpense.

"Keys cut while You wait." it announced. Without 'a mo- ment's hesitation he slipped the two keys from the ring and held them out to the nroprietor -of the stall..

"Well, think of me as --a pretty girl an' say a bob, an' done," re- plied Bindle. • The manregaaded him With elabor- ate gravity for a few moments. " If yer turn yer face away I'll try," he replied, and proceeded to fashion the duplicates. Meanwhile Bindle deliberated. • . If he retained the keys there would be suspicion at the flats and perhaps locks would be changed.; if, on the other hand, the keys were returned immediately. the owner would trouble himself no furthet. At this jib -act -are -lie was not -very clear as to what he intended to . do. He was still undecided when the four keys were handed to him in return for a shilling. The mind of Joseph Bindle invar- iably responded best to the minis- trations' of beer, and when, half an hour later, he left the bar of the Pur- ple Gat, his plans were formed, and his mind made up, He Vaguely saw the hadd of Providence in this discov- ery of Professor Conti's keys, and he was determined that Providence should not be disappointed in him, Joseph Bindle.

With this he retired up a side street and proceeded to swathe his head and the greater part of his face, leav- ing only his eyes, nose, and mouth visible. - Drnwing his nap carefully over the bandages, he returned to the highway, first having improvised the remainder of the bandaging into an- infornial sling for his left a,nn.

He himself had been on the front seat of the 'motor -bus and had escaped with a broken head •and a badly -cut hand. • Professor Conti did not discover his loss until the porter handed him his keys, enquiring at the same time if the Professor had heard anything of the -terrible collision between the motor -bus and the fire -engine. The Professor had not. He mounted to his flat with heavy steps. He was tired and dispirited. In his bedroom he surveyed himself mournfully in the mirror as be undid the buckle of of his ready-made evening -tie, which he placed carefully in the green card - 'board box upon the dressing table.

Still brooding upon a ra her omin- ous future, the Professor wound his watch—a fine gold hunter that had been presented to him three years previously by "A few friends and ad- mirers" --and' placed et upon the small t,able by his bedside, together- with his money and other valuables.'then care- fully extinguishing his lialf smoked cigarettnI he got into bed.

From dream in Arhich he had just 'discomfit d his rival, "the 'English Mestheris ,'"iiy placing Under control an elephant, Professor Conti awaken- ed with a start. He intuitively knew that there was someone in the room. Lying perfectly still, he listened. SO- denly his ,blood froze with horror. A tiny disc' of light played round the room and finally rested upon the small table beside him. A moment later he heard a faint sound as of two substances coming into contact. In- stively be- knew it to be.caused by his watch -chain tinkling against his ash -- tree'. He, broke out into a cold sweat. Moist with fear he reviewed the situ- ation. A , burglar was in the room, taking his—thePrOfessor's—presentae tion watch and chain. The thought of 'losing these, his gretest treasures, a- wakened in his mind the realisation that he must act, and act speedily.

With one swift movement he sat up, switche,d on the electric light, and cocked his revolver. An articulate sound, half cry, half grumble, came front the corner by the chest of dea,wers.

The ludicrous ex ression in Bindle's eyes, the unnatural ,position iri which he crouched, his lhayinz caught 'a, burglar red handed—et was all so ridiculous. Then there came the triumphant sense of victbry. The Professor wac.4 calm and collected now, as if the dis- covery of a lburglar in his bedroorn were a thing of nightly 'occurrence. There seemed nothing strange in the situation. 1 ' , The things to, be done presented them- selves in obvirs and logical sequence. He wasconsci us of the dramatic pos- sibilities Of the situation.

He was awakened from his revere and the contemplation of 2, particular- ly hideous wall paper, by a sharp command to turn round. He did so, and found himself facing a ludicreus and curnislY unheroic figure. Over his nightshirt Professor Conti had drawn an overcoat with an astrican collar and cuffs. Beneath the coat came a broad hem of white nightshirt, then two tether thin legs, terminating in a pair of red woollen bedroom slippers. Bindle grinned appreciatively at the spectacle. He was more at his ease nOw that the revolver had been laid aside. "You're a, burglar, and you're caught The Professor showed his yellow teeth as he made this pronouncement. Bindle grinned. "You'll get five years for this," proceeded the Professor en- ,couragingly. •"I was just evonderin' to meself," re- sponded Bindle imperturbably. "The luck's wi' you, guy'nor," he added 1 philosophically. "Fancy you 'aviid 'andcuffs as well as a revolver! Sort o' Scotland Yard, this ?ere little 'ole.

Professor Conti was too intent upon an inspiration that had flashed upon him to listen to his visitor's remarks Suddenly he saw in this the hand of Providence, and at that moment Bindle - saw upon the .chest of drawers one of the Professor's cards bearing the in- h scription: c PROFFESSOR SYLVANUS CONTI ' t --t" It is my intention to write a note to the palice zwhich you will yourself de- liver, and wait until yOu- are arrest- eded.
