Moral Effect of Diets.

An exclusively pork diet tends in.
fallibly to pessimism. Beef. If perse-
vered in for months. makes a man
strong. energetic and audacious. says
Pearson's Weekly. A mutton diet con-
tinued for any length of time tends to
melancholia. while veal eaters gradu-
ally lose energy and gayety. The free
use of eggs and milk tend to make
women healthy and vivacious. But
ter used in excess renders its users
phlegmatic and lazy. Apples are ex-
cellent for brain workers. and every
body who has much intellectual work
to do should eat them freely. Pota-
toes. on the contrary. render one dull.
invidious and lazy. when eaten con-
stantly and in excess. To preserve the
memory, even to an advanced age,
nothing is better than mustard.

CHAPTER XVIII.

In the week which followed Nelrs

uncle declined day by day until the
red-faced. genial innkeeper had be-
come little more than the shadow of
his former self
He missed his niece more than he
would admit even to himself And al
though it is true that his mind had be-
come tainted with suspicion of her
truth and honesty, he would have been
ready and willing to receive her back
and to forget the doubts which he
could not wholly stifie. But Nell was
sharpsighted enough to understand
this state of feeling. as revealed to hei
unconsciously by her uncle in his let
tiers. So she made excuses for re
naming in London. and George Claris
was left lonely.

with the detective Hemming, who, aft

had returned to the scene of his inves-

the impression that he was more
strongly convinced than ever that he
was on the right track as to the per-
