CORTHELL'S
HEALTH CURE.

Corthel strobe along briskly. The
clear morning air. the bright sunlight
and the fertile fields bordering on the
road were all a source of delight TO
him.
Not in years had he enjoyed a meal
as much as he had the homely break
fast provided at the little country no.
tel where he had put up the night be-
fore and where he had left the trunk
that held his city clothes. Now in a
well worn suit he was tramping along
the dusty road with much the same
feeling as that enjoyed by a boy who
plays hockey from school for the first
time.
In years Corthell had not felt justi-
fed in taking a vacation. Finally
through combination of circum-
stances he had been able to get to-
gether some capital, and by unremit-
ting effort this had been doubled and
trebled into the fortune that made him
prominent in the money market.
Then came the breakdown. The IA
nous specialist in nervous diseases
insisted upon vacation. Its either
a few weeks vacation or years in an
insane asylum" he said bluntly. "You
know best which you want. Make
your own choice"
In the end Corthell had capitulated
and had suggested Newport as the
place for vacation. The specialist
regarded him with disgust.
Il think l should have saved time By
sending you to the asylum first" he
said. He was paid So for a consulta
ton and could afford to say what he
pleased. "You get an old suit and {
comfortable pair Of shoes and take {
walking tour. Don't go to any place
where you are liable to meet friends
/ know Just the route 1 will send you
a road map
He bowed Corthell out Three days
later the broker was set down in {
tiny hamlet in the northern part o
the state, and this was the first day O
his trip.
He had stopped to watch some mel
haying, when one of them came to
ward him.
Looking for a jobY' he demanded.
Corthell laughed. II don't know tina

'I'll give a dollar and a half a da.

credit
