"This Is the office of Mr. Arnold,
detective?’’
"Tes,” bowed Robert Prince, tilling
the truth but conveying a wrong im
pression.
Only an hour ago he had been de
ploring with Arnold, his friend and a
man who creditably followed the de
tective line as a science, the fact that
Ids life had become practically vapid,
profitless, almost unendurable.
Robert Prince was world weary be
cause he had no motive In life. He
had Inherited money, but not a busi
ness. He really craved to be of some
practical use In the world, but did not
know how to begin. He had acted so
bored that Arnold had laughingly sug
gested that he Interest himself In some
detective case.
“When I get a case that will really
stir up your Ingenuity and Inability
uud get that Idle mind out of Its dull
beaten track,” said Arnold, "Pm go
ing to make you interested In It,” and
now a case that held his attention had
come to the front. Arnold was absent
from the office, but Robert allowed his
caller to think he was the famous
sleuth.
Ainu is ray name, sam tne young
girl, handing a dainty card to Robert
bearing a residence address and the
name, “Miss Fidelia Blaln.” "I wish
to engage your services, not in hunt
ing down a criminal, but in recovering
for me a large sum of money.”
It was a clear, simple and yet star
tling narrative, that* of the fair young
girl. She had been an art student, her
brother a traveling agent for a large
steel firm. A sister had recently died
leaving two small children. Their fa
ther was a dissolute scoundrel who
had broken his wife’s heart.
An uncle had left an estate to the
surviving brother and sister. They
had at once liquidated this and had
faithfully placed a third of the pro
ceeds In trust for the children.
This had Infuriated John Barr, ttje
brother-in-law. To quiet him, Fidelia
had given him a thousand dollars.
When he had squandered It In gam
bling he returned and had since been
continuously annoying them with ap
plications for small loans.
"I tolerated him,” now related Fi
delia, “until I had got through some
matters In court where I would be ap
pointed the guardian of the children.
Mr. Barr kept coming to the house un
der pretence of a right to see them.
Yesterday evening I locked up in my
desk nearly four thousand dollars in
cash and twenty thousand dollars In
unregistered bonds which I received
from our broker too late to take to the
bank. This morning they were gone.
Mr. Barr Is missing and near the desk
I picked up a glove with his name
written on the Inside lining.”
“Then he must be the thief?” ob
served Robert.
"He must be. For the sake of the
children I do not w&nt him arrested,
I ut I must get back- the money and
bonds.
"1 will take the case,” announced
Robert.
Robert was a trifle ashamed of him
self ns he realised that he was simply
eager to keep in the company of his
fascinating client as long as passible.
Remarkable goold fortune rewarded
bis elY'orts. Robert; finally came across
u man who knew Barr who had seen
him staggering home early that morn
ing. Where was his home, inquired
Robert. An hour inter he pushed open
the door of a room in a large office
building to find lying prone across a
bed—the very man he was after.
Harr seemed stupefied, drugged.
Robert tried to ttrouse him, but could
not do so.
I'm hours Robert witched by the
bedside of tlie mau.
t owards evening the patient wus in
u delirium. It seemed that Burr had
intended to tlee the city, but had got
to drinking. He met some associates
and bragged of netting a fortune.
They had drugged him and had taken
a satchel away from him.
"Stuffed with paper—ha! ha!" glout
ed the delirious Barr. “Hie money,
the bonds safe. The key—ah, the
key ! They are baffled—it am rich I”
"The key—tlie key!” was the mad
burden of tlie invalid. Itobert noticed
that lie lay on one sfcle, ids naked
shoulder revealed. He had observed
a plaster there at the first but hud left
it to wear off.
It Imd done this in part. One edge
was turned over. Something glittered.
Robert investigated. He detached
from under tlie plaster u small flat key
bearing a number and the initials:
• U. S. U. V.”
Within two hours Robert Prince
knew that key unlocked a box rented
by Barr m tlie Union Safety Deposit
vaults. Within four he had learned
that tlie bonds and money were con
tained within it and that ail Fidelia
bad to do was to prove her right to it.
Barr was sent to a country sani
tarium, hut died within the week und
a family scandal was avoided.
A week later Robert went into tlie
office of Arnold and confessed his bold
detective exploit.
"1 suppose I ought to pay you a fee,”
he said, “for putting me In a position
where 1 could be of service to the
sweetest—dearest—”
“Ah!” smiled the shrewd detective
readily—“then you have at last found
something worth living for? All right.
•Bless you. my children, bless yOp i' ”

CAN’T DO THE WORK.
It’s too much to try to work every
day against a constant, dull backache
or sudden darting pain in the small of
the back. Be rid of it. Try Doans
Kidney Pills. Your neighbors recom
mend them. Ask your neighbor.
Mrs. Minnie Bowen, O’Neill, says:
“I had backache and a heavy dull pain
in my kidneys that seemed to wear me
all out. I couldn’t get much rest at
night and it was all I could do to keep
at my work. There was a severe pain
in the back of my head and through
my shoulders. My kidneys were weak,
and caused annoyance, but Doan’s Kid
ney Pills relieved me completely.”
The above statement was given June
20th, 1916, and on June 14, 1920, Mrs.
Bowen added: “I still think Doan’s
Kidney Pills are a good kidney
remedy. It has been a long time
since I have had need of a kidney
remedy.”
