The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. It is neutral , not too sweet
and has an agreeable , healthful quali
ty that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumutism is
ifroiu overloading the system with acid
'material ' , the result of imperfect diges
tion and assimilation.
As soon as improper food is ahandon-
ed and Grape-Nuts is taken regularly ,
digestion is made strong , the org.ins do
their work of building up good red
blood cells and of carrying awuy the
excess of disease-making material from
'the ' system.
The result is a certain and steady re
turn to normal health and mental ac
tivity. "There's a reason. " Read the

I will not weary the reader with or

marshaled our host and marched down t
foe Piazza. The news had spread b
aow , and in the dimly breaking moroin
light we saw the Square full of people-
nen , women and children. As we marcl
id in there was a cheer , not very heart
a cheer propitiatory , for they did nc
enow what we meant to do. The Colon ?
nade them a brief speech , promisin
reace , security , liberty , plenty and al
: he goods of heaven. In a few sten
vords he cautioned them against "treacli
ry , " and announced that any rebellioi
igainst the Provisional government wouli
aeet with swift punishment. Then h
tested his army in companies , to kee ]
eatch till all was quiet. And at last bj

"Now , Martin , come back to the Goldei

ilace. "
"Tes , " said I , 'and have a look for thi
loney. " For really hi the excitement i
eemed as if there was a danger of th (
jest important thing of all being for
otten.
The dawn was now far advanced , anc
s we left the Piazza , we could see th <
Jolden House at the other end of the
venue. All looked quiet , and the sen
ries were pacing to and fro. Drawing
earer , we saw two or three of the Presi
ent'a servants busied about their ordi-
ary tasks. One woman was already re

Leaving our horses to the care of the

lough a personal friend of the Presi-

Colonel.
"On what charge ? "
"Treachery , " he replied.
"That would hardly do , would it ? "
"Well , then , embezzlement of pul

We had a little talk about the Pr <
dent's destiny , and I tried to persui
the Colonel to milder measures. In fa
I was determined to prevent such a m

"Well , we'll consider it when we've s <

I followed b4m aiong the path , and
entered the little room where we had 1

there , each seated in an armchair. Tl
were not asleep , but looked a lit

sleepily :

"Ah , it's McGregor , " said Johnny wi
a bland smile , "and Martin. How are yo

"Gently I" said I ; "after all , he's a si (

The Colonel dropped the arm , ar
Johnny said sweetly :
"Quits , isn't it , Colonel ? "
The Colonel turned from him , and sa !
to his men sternly :
"Have you had any hand in this ? "
They protested vehemently that the
were as astonished as we vrere ; and
they were , unless they acted consummati
ly. They denied that anyone had entere
" '
the outer room or that any"'sound ha
proceeded from the inner. They had ker
vigilant watch , and must have seen an
intruder. Both the men inside were th
Colonel's personal servants , and he belie\
3d in their honesty , but what of thei
ngilance ? Carr heard him sternly ques
tioning them , and said :
"Those chaps aren't to blame , Colonc !
[ didn't come in that way. If you'll tak
i look behind the bed you'll see anothe
loor. They brought me in there. I wa
-ather queer and only half knew wha
vas up. "
We looked and saw a door where h
said. Pushing the bed aside , we openei
t , and found ourselves on the back stair
ase of the premises. Clearly the Presi
lent had noiselessly opened this door am
; ot out. But how had Carr got in with
ut noise ? The sentry came up , saying
"Every five minutes , sir , I looked an <
; aw him on the bed. He lay for the firs
lour in his clothes. The nest look , h <
viis undressed. It struck me he'd beer
> retty quick and quiet about it , but ]
bought no more. "
"Depend on it , the dressed man was the
) resident , the undressed man Carr
Vhen was that ? "
"About half-past two , sir ; just aftei
he doctor came. "
"The doctor ! " we cried.
"Tes , sir ; Dr. Anderson. "
"Tou never told me he had been here. '
"He never went into the President's
ate General Whittingham's room , sir ;
ut he came in here for five minutes , tc
et some water , and stood talking with us
ar a time. Half an hour after he came
i for some more. "
We began to see how it was don * . That
rretched little doctor was in the plot ,
omehow or other lie had communicated
'ith the President ; probably he knew of
de door. Then , I fancied , they must
ave worked something in this way. The
octor comes in to distract the sentries ,
hile his excellency moves the bed. Find-
ig that they took a look every five min-
tes , he told the President. Then he
'ent and got Johnny Carr ready. Re-
irning , he takes the President's place
Q the bed , and in that character under-
ses an inspection. The moment this is
per he leaps up and goes out. Between
lem they bring in Carr , put him into
ad , and slip out through the narrow
) ace of open door behind the bedstead.
7"hen all was done , the doctor had come
ick to see if any suspicion had been
roused.
"I have it now ! " cried the Colonel.
That doctor's done us both. He couldn't
t Whittingham out of the house with-
it leave , so he's taken him as Carr !
windled me into giving my leave. Ah ,
ok out if we meet , Mr. Doctor ! "
We rushed out of the house and found
tis conjecture was true. The man who
irported to be Carr had been carried
it , enveloped in blankets , just as we sat
> wn to breakfast ; the doctor had put
m into the carriage , followed himself ,
id driven rapidly away.
"Which way did they go ? "
"Toward the harbor , sir , " the sentry re-
ied.
The harbor could be reached in twenty
inutes' fast driving. Without a word

BLOATED WITH DROPSY.
T2ie Heart Was Badly -Affected When
the Patient Besnu Tlninsr
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell , of 415
West Fourth St. , Olympia , Wash. ,
says : "For over
three years I
suffered with a
dropsical condl-
. tlon without being -
, ing aware that
'it was due to
kidney trouble.
The early stages
were principally
backache and
bearing down
pain , but I went
along without worrying much until
dropsy set In. My feet and ankles
swelled up , my hands puffed and bfr-
came so tense I could hardly close
them. I had great difficulty in breathIng -
Ing , and my heart would flutter with
I the least exertion. I could not walk
I far without stopping again and again
to rest. Since using four boxes of !
' Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has1
gone down and the feelings of dis
tress have disappeared. "
