How exploding 125 million food
cells makes Puffed Wheat and
Puffed Rice as nourishing as
hot cooked cereals.
AVE you tasted this utterly different kind of
cereal ... Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice ... the
crispest, crunchiest cereal on the market t oday?
Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are different because
they're made differently. Choice full -flavored grains of
wheat and rice are sealed in huge bronze guns. Then
revolved in fiery ovens. This expands the natural mois-
ture in the millions of tiny food cells. Then the guns
are fired. Causing 125 million explosions in every grain.
Every tiny food cell is blasted open. The grains are
made as completely digestible as though they had been
cooked for hours. Hence Puffed Wheat and Puffed
Rice are virtually as nourishing as hot cooked cereals.
These grains "shot from guns" become 8 times
normal size. They have all the buttery crispness of
fresh toast. They taste like sweet new nut -meats.
Never before was rich grain nourishment made so
delectably good to eat. Order Puffed Wheat and
Puffed Rice from your grocer today. The Quaker Oats
Company.

QUAKER PUFFED WHEAT AND PUFFED RICE

(Continued from last week.)
The words were fairly wrung from
Haight, who had slumped in his chair.
Nevilles swung afboati and faced
him
"You know Faulkner, then," he ask -
$3
Haight made no reply. His strain-
ed gaze sought Trollivor's. '
"Mr. Nevilles," the lawyer's voice
was suave, "we know Faulkner, yes.
He las Mr. Haight's trusted employee
until just 'before the latter's retire-
ment from business six menths ago.
He was discharged for petty misap-
propriation of funds; obviously he
concocted this fabrication of lies
through motive off vengeance."
Nevilles looked up slowly.
"Gentlemen," he said quietly, "sup-
posing we lay our cardis on the table.
Yon men have used Webster's money
to feather your awn nests and you
know it. Wait," as his hearers start-
.. ed up, "just a minute. Supposing
Webster were to jump in on you now
and demand an accounting of your
stewardship? What would happen?
Remember, he's a bad actor. -I know
him. He'll give you about as much
•t chance to make good) your disere-
particles as you'd give a `rattler to
strike twice.
"However, that's your funeral. I'm
not particularly interested in 'w'hat
Webster does to you. I am. interest-
ed only in what he desires todo to

me.""And what have you to propose?"
The question came from Haight.

"That's Bunning," 'he said, as he
hung up the receiver. "He just
'phoned Nevilles's message."

ered that Nevad'a oil shares are

"Just this. I've got Webster put
away. It's as much to your inter-
ests as mine that he stays put away.
That right?"
He smiled as he received no an-
swer, and continued.
"I'm going to the police, tell them
just how I came to kill that rat,
Swarts, and give myself up. I want
you, Mr. Trollivor, to secure a quick
trial for me and act as my counsel.
I'll 'bring in witnesses from the north.
Webster will not appear against me."
"And," asked Trollivor, "then what."
"I 'pass out," answered Nevilles,
"and Webster with me."
He rose and strode to the door.
"I am going downstairs now to
send a telegram. You gentlemen talk
it 'aver while Pm gone. I'll be back
in ten minutes."
The door closed 'behind him.
Trollivor drew the 'phone toward
him and called the downstairs tele-
graph office.
"That you, Bunning?" he spoke
softly. "Well, listen. There's p big
miner on his way down to send a
wire. d want you to repeat his mes-
sage to me."
He hung up the receiver and turn-
ed to Haight.
'Well, what do you make of him?"
'Haight shivered. "He's got it on
us, Trollivor," he groaned. "We'll
have to admit it."
"Bah!" scoffed the lawyer. "You
leave this man Nevilles to me."
"But," cried the older man wildly,
"he intends to make away with Web-
ster. You heard whati he said: I
draw the line at murder, Trollivor."
"Don't get excited," sneered the
lawyer. "We're not going to allow
him to murder Webster. Why,
Haight, he's the very man to play the
part of the real Webster. Can't you
see that?"
Haight started. Gradually the col-
or came back to his face.
"Trollivor," he murmured admiring-
ly, "you're a genius. It's the very
thing."
"If," spoke Trollivor softly, "this
fellow has Webster hidden away, it
will be easy for him• to secure the
Patter's credentials and all 'pro'ofs. of
his identity. Webster has been miss-
ing for ten years or more. Who will
ever guess that this man Nevilles is
an impostor?"
He laughed exultingly.
"And," he resumed, "I'll tell you
jiisrt how we'll get Nevilles in the
end. We'll suddenly discover that he
is an impostor and has the rightful
'heir 'hidden away. Well liberate Web-
ster and have Nevilles arrested on
two charges --murder and false im-
personation."
"And," added Haight, rubbing his
hands together, "any shortage' in the
Parnley Moneys will naturally he laid
to his door."
"Exactly. But in order that this
may be, he nm,st be given the same
latitude as though he were the real
heir."
"But supposing," the other protest-
ed fearfully, "he should take,it inti
;his head to play fast and loose with
the irar'ritley mullions?"
"W'e'll have a close 'watch kept on
him," 'Said Trollivor. "No fear of
him getting 'away ,with anything lilfe
that:'

"Nevada oil shares!" laughed
Haight: • "If the poor simpleton but
knew that we—"'
"What he doesn't know won't hurt
him," grunted Trollivor. "Hush, here
he comes."
The door
strode in.
"Well, gentlemen," he asked, seat-
ing himself on a corner of the table,
"what's it to be?"
Trollivor answered.
"Mr. Nevilles," he said, "you must
admit that you have gotten yourself
in a very tight box. You base, by
your own admission, killed a man, and
forcibly kidnapped the principal wit-
ness to the crime."
"I don't believe I'd call it by that
name, if I were you," said the pros-
pector ominously. "However, I'll ad-
mit the rest of what you say is true
enough. I am in one deuce of a fix
and I know it."
He eased himself from the table in-
to a chair. •
"As you gentlemen are also, if you
would confess it," he added.
"Supposing," insinuated the lawyer,
"that such were the case—not that
we admit anything, remember—and
supposing for certain reasons we pre-
ferred Mr. Webster to remain lost—
for a time—could you, may I ask, be
prdvailed upon to impersonate him in
return for our promise of immunity
from the law?"
"Impersonate 'him!" Nevilles sprang
to his feet. . "No, by God;" he cried,
bringing his fist down on the table.
"I need protection from the law, but
I'd sooner impersonate a skunk."
Trollivor and Haight exchanged
glances.
"I.think if I were you I would con-
sider our proposition a little further
before rejecting it, Nevilles," advised
the lawyer. "For two months you
might live the life of a .prince. You
would be given absolutely unrestrict-
ed control of the Parnley money; it
being understood, of course, that your;
personal expenditure be not too ex-
travagant. Shag Villa, the palatial
home on the Parnley estate, would be
at your disposal. Not many men in
your position would refuse the offer
we are now making you."
"And," sneered Nevilles, "at the
end of my two months' probation, per-
haps before, you find out where I've
got the real Webster hidden, liberate
him, have me arrested and lay all
your mistakes on to me. Nothing do-
ing. When I pass out, Webster pass-
es with rue."
Trollivor smiled. There was al-
most a look of admiration in his eyes
opened, and Nevilles

"I think; we !could 'premie.e as

The prospector at down, frowning-
ly considering.
"And if I still' refuse to 'accerpt your
proposition?" he asked, "rWhat then."
"Need you asst?" said thee lawyer
softly.
iNevilles flung himself out of his
chair.
"Look here," he cried bitterly, "0I
eatine to you, Mr. Trallivor, hoping
for help and quick action in clearing
m'y name from a stigma I had no
part in the making; and what I have
told you in strict confidence you are
ready to. use against me."
He stood erect and squared his
shoulders.
"All right; 'phone for an officer.
I'm ready."
"Just 'a minute," ' urged Trollivor.
"Supposing, beside giving you protec-
tion from the law we were willi ug to
pay you a ,substantial price for your
services---�—"
"Sufficient, say, to promote the
mine you mentioned a short time ago,
interrupted Haight blandly.
Nevilles caught his breath hard.
"You mean that?" he asked, his
voice eager.
"Yes, providing the price is not •pro-
hi'bititve," said Trollivor. "How
much?"
"Eighty thousand dollars," shot
Nevilles. "That's exactly the amount
to work my Little Rainbow, and which
I hoped to realize through worthless
oil shares."
"It's a big price," frowned Haight.
"It is," agreed the lawyer, "still,
Nevilles, we are willing to pay it."
Nevilles faced him. His cheeks
were flushed. There was the fire of
recklessness in his eyes.
"Here's my proposition," he said
crisply. "Take it or leave it. I'll
play the part of David Webster, pro-
viding I'm allowed to play it my own
way. What I mean is just this. I'm
to be given an absolutely free hand
with his money and in his affairs.
Wait," as 'Trollivor raised a hand in
protest, "I don't .intend to spend one
cunt of his money toward my person-
al gain. The eighty thousand prom-
ised me is all I ask. But it must be
understood that as David Webster
my money and property are my own
to do with as I wish."
"That's all very good," smiled Trol-
livor, "but supposing you should de-
cide to draw his money from the
bank and decamp for other fields?"
"You'll have to take that chance,"
returned Nevilles. "You k n o w,
though, there's no danger in that re-
gard."
"No," cried the lawyer, "with the
cordon of watchers with which we
would surround you, 3 scarcely think
that 'contingency need be considered."
"Then," asked Nevilles, "what is it
to be?"
'Trollivor glanced at Haight. The
latter nodded.
"We accept your proposition, Nev-
illes," said Trollivor. "With the un-
derstanding, of course, that we con-
iTriue 'to act as your agents."
"Certainly."
":Monthly salary to each—shall we
say one thousand?"
"Make it two thousand," said
Nevilles. "I can afford to be mag-
nanimous."
Haight rubbed his hands gleefully.
"And any investment we see fit to
make will receive your O.K. withait
question?" he asked, his beady eyes
on Nevilles.
The prospector grinned.
"You'll find me quite as easy and
gullible as that fool Webster himself
would be," he assured him.
Trollivor leaned over the table.
"Briefly then, the proposition is
this," he said. "You, Nevilles, are to
impersonate David Webster, and con-
duct yourself as befitting a young
spendthrift who through providence
or good luck has stumbled into a
fortune. You are to have an abso-
lutely free hand. Mr. Haight and
myself will remain your business ag-
ents. Our books will be open to you
at all times—indeed we insist that
you make it a point to look them over
every month and append your 0 K. to
any transaction 'having to do with
your money which we may see fit to
make."
The prospector stirred in his seat,
and as the fingers unlocked from his
knee the hands 'which fell to his sides
slowly clenched. There -vas nothing
of significance in the action to the
two watching, but the steely Light in
his eyes belied the smile on his lips
as he said:
"Let me get this thing straight.

as I wish, spend all the money I wish

Dodd's Kidney 'Pills not only relieve

most distress, they put the Kidneys in
good working order and all the impur-

the 'blood. The result is that new

Pills sure up their condition, "I feel
like a new man." New energy is new
life. You can't have it with ailek
Kidneys.
Whatyou have intimated, I infer you
know nobody in this city?"
"Scarcely anybody,'1 Nevilles an-
swered, "two or three people in all.
I had no confederates in the abduc-
tion of—the real Webster, save one
man, a doctor, whom I trust implicit-
ly."
He bowed half in mockery to the
lawyer and, picking up his Stetson, in-
dicated by a gesture to Haight that
he was ready to leave.
"Then this doctor is the only man
in the city who would recognize you
if he met you?" Trolliver asked.
"No," answered Nevilles. "there's
one other man here who would doubt-
less recognize me. He's' from the
North, came down here on, some spe-
cial mission of his own, but he may
have gone back before now."
"His name?"
"Daniel Walters."
Nevilles was looking away and did
not note the egeet of the name on
Trollivor. The high coloring had re-
ceded from the man's face, leaving it
white and haggard.
"Trollivor," chided Haight, "you're
drinking too hard; your nerves are all
shot to pieces. 'Better take your car
and go for a spin in the fresh air.
I'lil see you after lunch. Come along,
Mr. Webster."
Left alone, Trollivor sat slumped
in his chair, eyes staring into vac-
ancy. Then, with a shudder, ha pull-
ed himself erect and reaching for the
'phone called a number.
"That you, Harper?" he asked
guardedly. "Listen, then. Go gat:, the
Claridon and locate a man by the
name of David Webster. You're not
to lose sight of him. He's holding
another man prisoner somewhere.
Find out where. That's all, as far as
you are' concerned. Now, 1 want you
to send Dixon out on a still hunt for
another party', Daniel Walters. Search
the hotels and rooming houses. I want
this mean found, understand? All
right, then. Report as soon as yo.i
learn anything.''
He hung up the receiver and mop-
ped his brow with his handkerchief.
Then, opening the drawer in his table,
his trembling hand brought out the
flask of brandy.
"Hold on there," interrupted . Trol-
livor, "that stipulation is made with
certain reservations, my friend. What
if you should take a notion to spend
the entire -fortune?"
"I think we should name a limit?"
suggested Haight, quickly.
Nevilles shook his head
"Nothing doing. I'm willing to be
reasonable, but I'm not actor enough
to play the part of the real Webster
if I'm to be restricted in any way;
that would be perilous for you as
well as for me, wouldn't it?"
They were forced to admit that it
would.
"Well, then, you'll have to take one
on trust, as I am taking you. If I
start playing fast and loose with—
mly new fortune ---you can always" dis-
cover that after all I am an impos-
tor, can't you?"
Trollivor 'glanced questioningly at
Haight. The latter gave a sign of
assent.
"All right," be agreed, "you may
consider the matter settled, Nevilles."
"You had best put up at the Clari-
don for the) tinne being, Nevilles,'
suggested Haight as they arose. `4In
a few days you can take up your
quarters in Shag Villa. The old serv-
ants are stilt there, and I shall have
everything put ship-shape to -day. Now
well 'go over to the bank, and I'll

CHAPTER III
YESTERDAY
Ih a room at Harport's finest ho-
tel, Nevilles, now David Webster,
stood, hands deep in packets, gazing
frowningly through the window at
the dusky twilight weaving betwixt
the newly blossomed lights of God
and the harsh, red lights of the city.
That 'he had done a bold, audaciou
thing in accepting the proposition of
Haieht and Trollivor he well knew;
harried quarry of the hounds of the
law, he had, perhaps, in taking the
runway, which promised immunity,
but entered a labyrinth of greater,
more insidious dangers.
Iie was remembering the lines same
poet had penned in a flash of genius:
"To -clay we fear the Morrow: who
can
He shuddersays at the fear of Yester-
day."
']t was plain to be seen that the
autoor of those immortal lines had
never been in his position. For him
it was the yesterday that held its
dangers mere than the to -morrow
The to -morrow he could face with a
zest for its dangers and adventures.
Itut the yesterday—?
He turned from the window and
ink into a chair. Twenty-four
hours behird him—a page that could
he lifted and scanned at any moment
by Fate, whose han,i had woven ;he
intricate maze into which he had en-
tered, were events which had led to
the strange position in which he found
hin-,self to -night. And those ovents
had happened in this wise.

WAS RUN DOWN
AND VERY WEAK
Too Little Blood the Trouble.
Mrs. Jas. A. Haughn, Bridgewater,
N. S., writes:—"I was badly run
down and very weak. So much so I
could scarcely do my housework. My
nerves were affected; my digestion
poor; I had continual headaches and
could not get a restful night's sleep.
Different remedies failed to be of
benefit and I was growing discour-
aged. One day, however, I saw an
advertisement of a case similar to
mine which had been relieved by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills so I decided to
try them. A few weeks' use of the
Pills fully restored nay health and
now my household duties are a plea-
sure instead of a torture.'!
Mrs. 'H'aughn's whole trouble was
that she had too little blood. Dr.
Williams' Pinsk Pills ere of aid to
her because they renewed and puri-
fied her blood and that good blood
promoted good health, for where
good blood abounds disease cannot
exist.
