White Men Return From That Coun-
try With Pallor.
The missionary was so pale that
his friend exclaimed:
"Have you had a spell of sickness.
Jake?"
,VNo. I have been to India," the
oMier 'answered.
"India? That sunny, sizzling
place? How Is it you are not brown,
then?"
"It is plain to be seen that you
don't know what you're talking about,"
said the missionary. "WhltB people
that go to India don't como back
brown. They come back paler than
ghosts. India fades white people out.
I thought everybody Knew that."
"I didn't know it. Jake. What is
the philosophy of It?"
"The philosophy Is that the Indian
sun is so deadly that we whites have
to keep out of it. In the sun, ln In
dia, the thermometer will register 100
degrees. Well, with the thermometer
at 100 can you Imagine a white man
bustling about In the glare? He is ly
ing on a dim piaz/.a with an iced
drink beside him and a fan stirring
the air above his head.
"Yes," said the missionary, "white
men in India avoid the sun as young
girls at home avoid mice. White
men return from India as pale as you
see me. 'Tho Indian pallor,' we
call It."
No-Tip Restaurants.
Owing to the success of the "no-tlp"
restaurant In Piccadilly, London, other
restaurants are about to enforce the

And What They Mean.
When Old Mother Nature gives you
"Vhack" remember "there's a rea-
son," so try and say "thank you,"
then set about finding what you have
done to demand the rebuke, and try
and get back into line, for thai s the
happy place after all.
CurlouB how many highly organized
people fall to api.:oJate and heed the
first little, gentle "whacks" of the
good old Dame, but go right along
with the habit whatever it may be,
that causes her disapproval. Whiskey,
Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other unnat-
ural treatment of the body, until seri-
ous illness sets iu or some chronic
disease.
Some people seem to get on very
well with those things for a while,
and Mother Nature apparently cares
but little what they do.
Perhaps she has no particular plans
for them and thinks It little use to
waste time in their training.
There are people, however, who
seem to be selected by Nature to "do
things." The old Mother expects them
to carry out some department of her
great work. A portion of these select-
ed ones oft and again seek to stimu-
late and then deaden the tool (the
body) by some one or more of the
drugs—Whiskey, Tobacco, CofTee,
Tea, Morphine, etc.
You know all of these throw down
the same class of alkaloids In Cheml
cal analysis. They stimulate and then
depress. They take from man or worn
an the power to do his or her best
work.
After these people have drugged
for a time, they get a hint, or mild
whack" to remind them that they
have work to do, a mission to perform,
and should be about the business, but
are loafing along the wayside and be-
come unfitted for the fame and for-
tune that waits for them if they but
stick to the course and keep the body
clear of obstructions so it can carry
out the behests of the mind.
Sickness is a call to "come up high-
These hints come ln various
forms. It may be stomach trouble or
bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys or general
nervous prostration. You may depend
upon it when a "whack" comes it's a
warning to quit some abuse and do
the right and fair thing with the body.
Perhaps it is coffee drinking that
offends. That Is one of the greatest
causes of human disorder among
Americans.
Now. then, if Mother Nature Is gen-
tle with you and only gives light, little
whacks" at first to attract attention,
don't abuse her consideration, or she
will soon hit you harder, sure.
And you may be sure she will hit
you very, very hard if you insist on
following the way yott have been go-
ing.
It seems hard work to give up
habit, and we try all sorts of plans to
charge our 111 feelings to some other
cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when ill will attri-
bute the trouble to bad food, malaria,
overwork and what not, but they keep
on being sick and gradually getting
worse until they are Anally forced to
Quit entirely, even the "only one cup
day." Then they begin to get bet-
ter. and unless they have gone long
enough to set up some fixed organic
disease, they generally get entirely
eli.
It is easy to quit coffee at once and
for all. by having well made Postum.
with Its rich, deep seal brown color
hich comes to the beautiful golden
brown when good cream is added, and
the crisp snap of good, mild Java is
there if the Postum has been boiled
long enough to Lring it out.
It pays to be well and happy for
good old Mother Nature then sends
us her blessings of many and various
kinds and helps us to gain fame aud
fortune.
Strip off the handicaps, leave out
the deadening habits, heed Mother
Nature's hints, quit being a loser nnd
become a winner. She will help you
sure if you cut out the things that
keep you back.

one.

"Jealous?" Dearwyn dropped her
flowers to clap her hands softly.
Tata, I have guessed his distemper
rightly. Let no one say that I am not
a witch for cleverness!"
A while they nestled together with-
out speaking, the little maid's cheek
retting lovingly on her friend's dark
hair.
It was a page thrusting aside the
arias that broke the spell. Opening
his mouth to make a flourishing an-
nouncement, the words were checked
on his tongue by four white hands mo-
tioning stern commands for silence.
"It Is the King's Marshal," he
framed with protesting lips. But even
that failed to gain him admittance.
As she tripped after him down tho
corridor, a little frown was forming
between Randalin's brows. "I think
it is not well-mannered of the fellow
to say 'the King's Marshal' as though
my lord were Canute's thane," sho
was reflecting, "and I shall put an
end to it. Whatever others say, onri

that he hurt her, and his voice was as
passionate as his caress. "No," he
told her over and over. "Would I
have offered you my love had I be-
lieved that? No! No!"
Satisfied, she made no more resist-
ance, but clung to him with her arms
as she had clung to him with her
heart since the first hour he came
Into her life. Only, when at last ho
released her, she took the ring from
her finger and thrust it into his hand
with a little gesture of distaste. "I

and came slowly toward her, she could
see that in its gravity his face was
as soldier-like as his clothes.
"Randalln!" he cried Joyously, and
made a step toward her, then stopped
to laugh in gay wonder. "Now lo
poet would call you 'a weaver of
peace' as you stand there, for you
look rather like an elf of battle. What
Is It, my raven?"
Her lips smiled back at him, but
a mist was over her eyes. "It is your
King that I am angry with, lord. He
is not worthy that a man like you
should serve him."
Moving toward her again, he held
himself a little straighten "I serve
not the King, dear heart," he said
gently, "but the State of England, in
whose service the highest is none
too good to bend."
She yielded him her hands, but not
her point "That does not change the
fact that it is his overbearingness
which makes your path as though you
trod on nettles, for certainly I know it
is so, though you will not say It!"
Neither would he admit It now,
but laughed lightly as he drew her to
him. "Now may he not give me
thorns who gives me also the sweet-
est rose in his kingdom? I tell you he
is the klngliest king ever I had to
deal with, and the chief I would soon-
est trust England to. Be no Danish
rebel, shield-maiden, or as the King's
officer I will mulct your lips for every
word of treason."
She showed no rebellion against
his authority, at all events; and her
hands remained in his clasp until of
his own accord he opened his fingers
with an exclamation.
"Do you wear bracelets for rings,
my fair, or what? WHAT!" From the
monstrous bauble in his palm, be
raised his eyes to hers, and if she had
seen their look she might have an-
swered differently. But her gaze was
still on the ring; and as she felt him
start, that impish dimple peeped out
of her cheek.
"Is it not a handsome thing?" she
said. "It looks to be a ring to belong
to a giant."
"Is It—Rothgar's?"
The dimple deepened a? she heard
;ie tone. She was obliged to droop
er lashes very low to hide the mis-
chief in her eyes. "It Is not his now,"
she murmured. "It has been given to
to keep me In mind of some-
thing." But after that her amusement

gently to give him eye for eye. "Ran-
dalin, ir I comply with you in this mat-
ter, will you answer me a question?
Answer with such care as though
your life—nay, as though my life de-
pended on it?' '
"Willingly; more than one," she
consented; but forgot to wait for it
as a memory, wakened by his words,
stirred in her. "Now is the time for
me to remember that there is one
thing I have not been altogether truth-
ful about, through forgetting—about
the Danes we have seen. I recall now
that last winter Teboen often saw one
when she was gathering herbs in the
wood. She spoke with him of the
magic things she brews to make Elf-
giva sleep, and he gave her herbs
which she thought so useful that she
has been fretful because she has not
seen him since—'
Unconsciously, the young soldier's
hands tightened on her shoulders un-
til she winced. "You know with cer-
tainty that she has never seen him
since?" he demanded—"that Danes
had naught to do with the last token
Elfgiva sent through the scullion?
You can swear to it?"
"Certainly, if they speak the truth,
I know it," she answered, wondering-
ly. "How should Danes—why, Sebert,
what ails you?"
For he had let go her shoulders as
abruptly as ho had seized them, and
walked away to the window that look-
ed out upon the rain-washed garden.
After a moment's hesitation, she stole
after him. "Sebert, my love, what is
it? Trouble is in your mind, there is
little use to deny it."
Even while his lips admitted a trou-
ble, his manner put it aside. "You
are right that it concerns the King,
my elf. Sometimes the work he as-
signs me is neither easy nor pleasant
to accomplish. Yet without any
blame to him, most warlike maiden,

But she would not be prevented
from saying stern things to her royal

Bradford, Tenn., Nov. 21.— (Spe-
cial.)—Scientific research shows Kid-
ney Trouble to be the father of so
many diseases that news of a dis-
covery of a sure cure for It cannot
fail to be welcomed all over the coun-
try. And according to Mr. J. A. Davis
of this place just such a cure is found
in Dodd's Kidney Pills, ivfr. Davis
says;
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is
elalmed for them. They have done
mc more good than anything I have
ever taken. I had Kidney Trouble
very bad, and after taking a few boxes
of Dodd's Kidney Pills I am com-
pletely cured. I cannot praise them
too much."
