his employee. - It waa soon after dawn
and the lawn was wet .with dew, and
John D. waa in his bare feet.. That Is
a combination' which even In August is
calculated to send a chilly feeling shoot

He had srmply gone, to nature for a
restoration of health which science hat
denied him. It Is the Knelpp cure.

reports, has taken enough medicine to

good. - i t . - . . . -' ' , ' i ' ' ,
Now he stepped out boldly. Here and

since John D. was a bare-foot bey, but
he only said "Ouch" and want on. When
he finished he Waa puffing a little and
