"Open air will never cure tuberculosis.
It will not do the patient any harm if
he does not catch cold. But it takes
more than open air. It is necessary to

: Miriam went back to her study and
stared frankly into, that study next
door. The man writing at his desk
looked up and bowed slightly. He had
not meant for her to hear.
"Mr. Jaston, wish to say to you
that friend of mine has gone to look
for Mr.. Charley Nixon. Have you his
address,"
my dear lady, allow me to assure
you that had had the least knowledge

ton spells intoxication. Before the
week was out the soul had drank itself
quite drunk with liquid tones and
sparkling eyebeams. For Jaston and
the plucky girl had become good
friends.
It was foolish of the poor soul to
make feast of such small matters,
but so it did. and made Sc merry withal
that it scarcely needed the significance

Jaston thrust the check carelessly into
his pocket and came over to the win

''What shall sing?" she queried, a
bit absently. Charley's return was
not wanting in significance for her.
'Why, that little thing about it be-

"But pomegranate seed are not made

Jaston looked up sharply at the
sound of this new voice. A tall, blond
young man blocked the space between
him and the girl. The voice persisted
with a sweep of masterful tenderness.

Ralph Sellew, of Marlboro, is the
champion wood sawyer of Connecticut.
With an ordinary buck saw and saw
horse he sawed II cords of wood in
five hours. He started in at nine
o'clock in the morning, after eating
two large beefsteaks and drinking
three cups of strong coffee. His son
sharpened fresh saw for him from
time to time, and he continued his task
without interruption. Sellew did not
seem greatly fatigued. He slept for

ner of roast beef and potatoes. He
ate half the roast and half a dozen
potatoes and finished a fresh apple
pie. Marlboro sports who won wagers
