CHAPTER 31C WHAT-THE REMOVAL OP THE BANDAGE DISCLOSED Allen Drake'a proposal to unp:n the bandage from Smith's bead apparently was- the proverbial1 last straw i-upon the man's already heavy burden of terror. ' ' As my father at Mr. Drake's request, moved to the bound man's side and put out his hand to the bondage. Smith lunged his bound figure-forward in attempt to use it in battering-ram fashion. But the government agent was quicker than be. and though weakened by his long illness, he bad the advantage of free hands and in" upright position. There fore it was but the work of an instant to press the frantic man back Jnto his chair and hold him there while my father's long, slen der hands worked deftly at the soiled bandage which Smith had worn ever since he had arrived at the Criggs . farm disguised a a farm laborer, "Now Mrs. Underwood. : " ' "' .: " -.' , "' , I j Lillian's band upon my arm urged me forward to a vantage point. where: I could distinctly see every,, movement of my father's band." fi And when the outer In- describably ! soiled bandage had been unpinned, and there ap peared heavy folds of the finest and most immaculate linen imag inable. Lillian and I looked at each; other significantly.

Commercial Ffaone 107 anticipated cleanliness and dalnti mea iindrn&lh that apparently filthy bandage, j and were nut dis appointed. . i My father began to unfold the inner bandages, and found them intricate and frequently fastened. Smith made no movement to hin der them, evidently yielding pass ively and stoically to the pressure Allen Drake was exert in s? againt iandag had been unfastened, re vealing no injury whatever to the head beneath.) Smith suddenly ducked hid head into his shoulders jas far as he could in a last futile effort to hide his face. "Nothing doing in the ostrich line, old dear," Allen Drake drawled, and with a single deft movement he (tilted the other man's head upward until his face was fully iliuminated by the light. "Now Mrs. Underwood," he said. "But after that?" : , j ! .Lillian drew me nearer, then bent over the man's face, examin ing minutely, comparing it with a written, paper which she held in her hand, and finally tracing with her forefinger the pecul'ar eye brows of Smith which I had no ticed when I had seen him in the restaurant near the reservoir, j Then they had been plucked in the silly fashion which women affected at that time, and the trace or the treatment still remained. But either the man had relied up on his bandage as a disguise or was unable to treat them as he had, for in one place above his fight eyebrow there was the l.e ginning, of a tiny tuft of snowy- white hair In bizarre contrast to the raven blackness of the re! of his brows. l "Ah!" Lillian drew a long breath as her finger rested upon it. "The tufted eyebrows of the ' family.' The name is one known to every student of Euro pean royal families. : "You see, Madge? Allen? Mr. Spencer? This clinches the thing!" she exclaimed.; ."You are She gave a name which startled me, prepared as I had been by her hints. In the face of absolute defeat the man Smith seemed to regain the stoical poise which, bad been badly shattered while he had been frantically trying to arert discov ery. -And there was something absolutely royal in the manner he opposed to Lillian's cry of tri umph. ; I "Yes, I am," he said slowly, "and If I were I in my own place, a woman like you would be whipped through the market place at my bare word." "But you do: not happen to be in your own place, fortunately for us,", Lillian replied lightly, and then .she turned to Allen Drake. "What ehall iwe do with him, Allen?" she asked In exactly the indifferent, contemptuous tone which she would have employed in speaking of a chicken thief. ; 'Tie him up for the night in some kennel where he can rum inate over his former exalted posi tion," .he replied. amd there was something about the colloquy which told me! that It had been rehearsed beforehand, and that It was purposely calculated to en rage and humiliate the bound man. "But after that?" "What do you think?" he countered. ; i " Lillian's eyes' were fixed upon Smith's etolid face. "There is but one safe thing." she said, "and that is to send him back to his own exalted place. They are waiting fondly for him over there." : i (To be continued) Winter Promises Hardships To Veterans of England LONDON, Nor. 15 Closing of the , British Empire Exhibition at Wembley shortly will result in ad ditional serious unemployment among former service men, accord ing to officials of the British Le gion, who are making extra ef forts to provide work for the men now employed in the exhibition grounds and buildings. . Pointing out that for the last three months unemployment fig ures, have been: heavier than for the corresponding period of last year, one official of the legion said there was every indication . that the coming winter would produce more distress among former ser vice men than any since thearmis tice, due to the completion . or abandonment of any municipal re lief schemes undertaken since the war.

Nov. 22. (Ily The Associated Press.) -The American Federation of Labor con vention divided-time through sev en busy hours today between ed ucation, legislation and adjust ment of controversies with affili ated and non-affiliated organiza tions. More than twenty distinct questions, 'many of saem of rou tine nature, were disposed of by the convention. Resolutions asktnst the conven tion to condemn theilabor policy of the Coal River Colleries com pany owned by members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers, were re;erred by unani mous vote to the executive coun cil of the federation with direc tion for further negotiations with officers of the company for a set tlement with the United Mine Workers of America. Adoption of this recommendation of the com mittee of boycott without debate In the morning session disposed of, one of the most threatening questions on the convention program- Recommendations of the committee on education for a thorough study of Junior "high schools, the platoon system for the lower grades, ! intelligence tests and methods 3 of vocational training in public institutions, were a part of the report approv ed by the convention. A resolution condemning meth ods in certain trade schools, in cluding the part time schools of the YMCA was amended by the committee to exempt the latter organization from Its scope. Endorsement of the Howell Barkley bill to create new ma chinery for the adjudication of labor disputes involving railway employes and the abolition of the United States railroad labor board was unanimously voted by the con vention in approving a partial re port from the committee on the executive council's report. "During the past year the la bor board has continued to in crease irritation and discord in human relations on the railroads,' the report said. "Extension of the adtivities of the workers' educa tion bureau and closer cooperation with the educational agencies of the American legion were also recommended in the report of the committee on education. A per capita tax of one-half cent per annum for each member affili ated with the federation of the activities of the workers educa tion bureau was voted." I fjnly Four Grades of Prunes Recommended (Continued from paf 1) A radical change in the grades of dried prunes and an intelligent effort to find a by-product outlet for the smaller sizes , were recom mended by the horticultural com mittee of the Polk County Agri cultural Conference in its report Wednesday at the close of the 2 day conference says the Polk County Observer. The report came as one of a series made' by committees -considering various problems fallowing a day and a half of investigation and deliber ation, i The committee report set forth that at the present time prunes were bought in 11 grades with a downward scale of prices, while even a greater divergence in price exists in the retail sales of graded prunes, with as high as 10 to 15 cents a pound between the smaller grades and the larger. - This dif ferential reacts In favor of tne middleman and against the produc er and consumer, the committee pointed out. . i Grades of extra (large, large. Heart and Kidney Diseases Caused By Torpid Liver Blood i carries body poisons through the system to vital organs To clear our systems of poison toxins that taint the blood and break down health, we must keep the liver regulated. Medical sci ence now knows that the liver is our most important organ because it destroys tbe body poisons that cause diseases of the heart, kid neys, blood vessels, create high blood pressure and premature old age. i - ; ! " 1 ; When ' the liver becomes ! tor pid, these poisons, instead" of be ing destroyed, are carried through the system by the blood. ; Then Nature gives quick warnings. You have sudden sick headaches, dizzy spells and nausea. If your stom ach is acid from sour bile and your skin becomes sallow' or blotchy, you may know poisons are in your blood. ; i .The liver cannot be regulated by drugs, but there is a safe Na ture substance which will act di- Vectly on the liver. The discovery Is purified ox gall. Get from. your druggist a pack age of DIoxol. Each tablet con tains ten drops of purified ox gall In 24 hours the poison 'tox ins will be removed. Your liver will be regulated. Blood purifica tion will begin. Sallow skin will clear. Yon will feel so much bet ter you will know you have found the cauRH of your ill health. DI oxol tablets are harmless, taste less and cost less than two cents each. These genuine ox gall tablets are prepared only under the name ''Dioxol." If any tablet Is offered you under another name, refuse lt. -Accept only Dioxol in the orig laal, genuine- package. Adv. medium and small prunes were suggested, with the' recommenda tion that these be fixed by law and the sta'i horticultural commission be authorized to designate a cer tain proportion of each year's crop for the various grades, rather than to establish them upon a definite weight basis as at present. The need of a by-produce meth od to utilize small prunes was brought out in the recommenda tion that steps should be taken for research work to discover some means to divert such prunes from the regular dried fruit market. The report brought out the fact that Polk county's . prune acreage has developed from 67 acres in 1889 to 11,039 in 1924. BACK YARD , HORTICULTURE (Continued from pige 1) the leaves are off the tree. Fall planting is preferable since the dirt has ail winter to settle about the roots of the fall planted tree and it is ready to start growing with tne first warm weather of spring.

These are plants that were plant ed iii the nursery as tips and have been grown a year there. Dahlias and gladiolus, are planted , in ; the spring after dan ger of frost 13 over, usually in April.

Neither was it known here whether any one aboard the City of Montgomery was injured. LOAI 1 TO FRANCE NW COMPLETED NEW YORK, Nov. 22.
