Cod Liver Oil With

A T for Chiseleal #else

Oil from the liver of the cod -fah ha
been used as .a preventative of disease
end a restorative for agos..
Per a long time it has been, the general
opii}ion, that the medicinal Value of Cod
Liver Oil was the greasy, oily part itself
t ,.cf by tasteofo. fkthe oil. the turpau►-
Prom the .first experts have been 1ry-
iug tp find means to make it more pala-
table, They used to "cut" it with
whiskey-- take it in Wine -flavor it with
lemon lgice--anytking to get away free)
that abominable fishy taste and smell,
Lots of people still take it in Bmul-
sion loam, winch is nothing more than
"churned" 011, --broken .up -but stillf
greasy, oily and a strainon the digestion.
Doctors used to think it was the oil
itself that built up the system -they
were slow to find out that the oil was .a
distinct drawback to the medicinal prins-
ciples contained in it,
Crude oil is quite indigestible, and
will, in tittle, put the strongest stomach
out of order. `
A way has now been discovered to do
away with the grease and the smell, and
yet retain all the medicinal properties
of, the liver. This is done by removing
thefresh oil from the new livers. file
liver pulp is then reduced to the form
of an extract like beef extract.
• Nyal's Cod Liver Compound is simply
this liver extract combined with an ex-
tract of malt and, healing wild cherry.
It also contains the true hypopphosphites:
This combination makes Nyal's Cod
Liver Compound a delicious tonic -
builds. up the system, and makes you
strong.
Take it when you feel yourself losing
your grip. ' It's a pleasure to take -
even the children like it.
Get a bottle to -day and ward off
disease. $1.00 for a large bottle. Your
druggist will cheerfully recommend it
because he knows all about it.

Neve a faint idea 'Of' what it -means
when I say-•-1ti the company and ser"
bine of Val B. MontagueI But he's
flood, sort, mind -You""
"Is he always like this?"
"More or les., yes. The degree of
absurdity varies, but he's never ordi-
nary. ' During the first six months we
,quarrelled. I daresay I was a bit en-
lick't, and I didn't like his hectoring;
theta I got to understand him; and for
ithe�last year and a half I've been his
right hand man. We had a row royal
this morning, and you see how little
he bears maIice,.
"He said you were a serpent he had
been hugging to his bosom, said Scar-
borough, laughing.
"Yes; that's his way. When he
abuses you in metaphor, you know
that you aro forgiven ,and you start
afresh on the old footing. It's his no-
tion of making an apology. Mona de la
Mar was the cause of our dust-up this
morning. She said she wasn't going
to perform to -night, that she wanted a
holiday, and had private business to
attend to. I didn't in the least knew
what her reason was; but Montague be-
gan to bluster, so I backed her up, and
said I wouldn't perform either. I'make
a point of standing up to him whenever
he starts in to play the bully. I fancy
that's 'partly why we're such good
friends."
"A bit inconsiderate of the lady,
wasn't' it?" said Scarborough,
"Oh, very," agreed Varney, "but the
point was that Montague couldn't be
allowed to bluster to a lady. We have
to treat him on a system, you see. We
allow him to wag a free tongue as a
'rule, but this was outside the limits,
See?"
"I see," said Scarborough, "that you
are an interesting crew, and I want to
hear more."
"Then lead the way to your restaur-
ant! And if you're in funds, let it be
fizz!"
"Fizz it shall be. Come along'_'
Over dinner Varney told his tale,
picking up the thread where he and
Scarborough had been pupils together
at an army crammer's near Henley.
Both had been working -with no great
earnestness, they admitted mutually
now -for the entrance exam. at Sand-
hurst; and now one was a telegraph
man and the other was a circus per-
former. There were things in this
which caller- for explanation, for nei-
ther knew wholly the reasons why the
other had given up his earlier ambi-
tion.
In Scarborough's case the explana-
tionl was easy and ordinary. He had
failed in the examination, and the un-
cle Who was paying for his education
refused to allow him to try again.
"I don't think he was really, sorry,"
said Scarborough. "He had the no-
tion that I had brains, if I cared to use
them; and he didn't think the army
was a useful field for their exercise.
He is a self-made man, you see, and
has a prejudice against what he calls
a butterfly life. That was before the
war. He's a bit more ready to admit
that a soldier may be a man now. He
wanted m^ to go into the city."
"You struck at that?"
"Yes."
"And then?"
"Well, then, as I didn't take what
.de offered, he told the to do the best
I could without him. The only thing
he stipulated for was that it should be
somethin5 in which I could earn a defi-
nite sal:f.y, and he promised to add
three sovereigns to every one ;that I

Naved at the end of a year:- •
V . "Not a bad arrangement, either!"
exclaimed Varney.
"No, a very good onefor me. The
dear old man is by way of being reli-
gious, but he contrives to preach the
gospel of Mammon too, and in a way
that makes converts. He'd be hon-
estly surprised,though, if anyone
pointed that out to him- Now how
about you, "
"`Wait a bPhil?it,"" said Varney. "What
made you choose the cable service?"
"For one thing the exam. was easy;
for another, I'm rather keen• on elec-
tricity and electrical machines; for a
third, it seemed a good way of seeing
a little bit of the world. Curiously
enough the service is rather crowded
withmen Who origineliy intended to
be --.;something else. Somebody has
dubbed us 'the legion of the ploughed';
but on the whole, I think we're rather
good sorts. I'm quite satisfied with
my Iife and with my colleagues."
The other man's explanation of his.
position ,was equally simple. Scarbor-
ough was what he was because he had
failed in an examination. Varney ha.t
never sat for the examination, because
the misfortune or crime of others had
thrown him suddenly on his own re-
sources, and, had changed his destiny
from that of spending an allowance to
that.. of earning a living. These two
Causes between them account for many'
a curious choice of profession.
"You remember the smash?" he.
asked.
"Yes," said. Scarborough. "Carring-
ton and Varney; stockbrokers -every-
body knew about it; but I never under.
stood it."
"Few did, and I think the poor old
goveiytor "least of all. He had trueted
Carrington in everything, and Carring-
ton used'him as a tool. The man was
a thorough paced blackguard."
"So •I understand. Why wasn't he
brought to book?"
"Too clever. Slipped through the
lawyers' fingers on a technicality, and
left hispartner as the scapegoat.. The'
poor old governor's only crime was
over -trust in a scoundrel -=even the
prosecuting counsel accused him of,
'nothing more heinous than an easy-
going incompetency -but the disgrace
killed him: When things had got as.
straight as they ever would get, I
went out to. ranch in Brazil; found that
the family luck stuck to me in that it.
yoked me to another scoundrel, the
man I was ranching with; cut him.
after a month; fell in with Val B.
Montague at. Rio; joined him; and be-
cause I found that he was honest, stuck
to him. I had been with him a year
when the news of the governor's death
reached me; but I didg't go back.
There was nothing to go back for, and
-well, that's about all."
"What became of Carrington?"
For, a moment Varney • did not an-
swer. Then ho said slowly:
"Till to -day I knew nothing about
him. • To -day two things •have hap-
pened that Crake me suspect the.. he

Scarborough drew in his breath
quickly, and looked hard at the crumbs'.
be was making. He remembered that
when Mr. 1'age played chess he always
made the moves with hie left band.
The last joint of the middle finger of
the right hand was missing, and Elsa
had once explained that her father
bad lost it from: the bite pf a horse
when he was a boy.
"And the other thing?" be ask
huskily.
"The other thing is that Mona de
Mar refused to perform to -night," said
Varney.
• "Why, how does she come into it?"
When he had heard his friend's ex-
planation of Iia reasons fpr thinking
that Mona de la Mar did come ,into
the story, Scarborough rose suddenly
and said;
"Can you get a bicycle and ride back
with me to -night? I'd like to talk
things over with you,"
"Then stay and talk here -or bette
still -let me show you over .o
schooner. It's a funny place,"-
"No," said Scarborougb' "I must get
back. I want to be within reach of the
Chinelas if I'm needed Will you
come,?"
"Yes,"' said Varney.
He hired a bicycle in the town, and
rode back . with Scar'barough. They
had their talk out, and by that time
it was late, and Phil Varney stayed the
night at the cable station. Next morn-
ing, while they were at breakfast, a
note was brought to Scarborough. He
opened it and read: '
"Father is dead. I think he has been
murdered. Corrie to me, Elsa."
That was all, Scarborough thought
again of the cablegram. Was this the •
danger which the coming of the circus
had brought? And the danger might.
not be over yet, though one victim had
fallen. • Elsa herself might be in peril.
He got his bicycle, and started at
once for the Chinelas. As he rode off,
a sudden thought struck him, and he
called out to Varney:
"Find out what Mona de la. Mar was.
doing last night, and what the busi-
ness was which made her refuse to
perform in the circus."
CHAPTER VI.
Waiting for the Doctor
When Scarborough jumped off his
bicycle at the door of the Chinelas,
Elsa was standing on the steps waiting
for him. He went to her, and took
her hands in his. It was characteristic
of the pair that he neither offered, nor
did she expect, condolences.
"Father is lying upstairs," she said"
"I have sent for a doctor."
"`Then he 'is not dead!" said Scar-
borough. "I thought-"
"He is dead.",
She spoke quietly. The blow had
been a cruel one, but. it had not un-
nerved her. If there.wet work to do,
she would do it, and the tears woul;
come afterwards. Scarborough, watch-
ing her face, saw no signs 'that the
tears had come yet; but he noticed a
line of hardness about her mouth that
had not been there yesterday.
"Why have you sent for a doctor?"
he asked.
"Because I want to know what was
the cause of death. I think that my
father has been murdered."
He made her put on her hat and
walk with him down the road, away
from the house where her sorrow lay.
Presently' he pointed to a fern -covered
bank, and when they were sitting side
by side, he took her hand in' his again,
and said gently; "Tell me about it."
For -a little while she said.nothing..
