her family were well acquainted
with your uncle, Mr.. M'Faught.
Wont you come to the opera to-
night to be introduced to the
duchess? They beg me to say that

Could I? There was one thing /

no means certain of securing. Law

home to me with much emphasis.
My chief object at this time was to
try how far one fortune would favor
me with another.
How would Frida Fairholme be
affected by the news of my great
good luck? I had been asking my
self this momentous question ever

rooms to dress for dinner. Here
someone pushed past me just as
was letting myself in with my key;
man meanly dressed, one of the
poor waits, as l thought, who so
often infest street corners, ready
for any job.
The incident made no particular
impression on me at the time, but it
was brought home tot me as one
link in chain Of singular events
that were near at hand.

SPRING FEVER-WHAT Is IT?

Do you know that in spite of its prevalence, there is
description of "sprng fever in any of the standard
medical books?
Here is disease that is sweeping from Florida to Man
itoha and from coast to coast and the doctors say
"pOoh''!
Since the doctors asleep at the SWITCH it's up
the editor to tackle the problem
So here goes.
There two kinds of spring governmental and
physical.
Both protests of nature against ''civizatiOn.'
Each is the feeble voice Of what is left of natural
trying to cry out against the rammes of twentieth
fury life.
The mental spring fever is rebellion of the mind
against dull daily routine protest against pavements
and brick and MORTAR against the doing of allotted tasks
at desk or bench.
The first robin, the first pussy willow, the first ball
game is the call of the great outdoors The psychic
ton to the weeks of close superheated winter life affects
all ages The schoolboy sezes his marbles and tops his
sstser her skipping rope and roller skates. The grown
ups long for the opening ball game and a sunny after
in the park. The early change light clothes and
spring flower bonnets all evidence this mental revolution
This kind of spring fever is cured by changing the
daily habits Walking sunlight working in the yard
anything that will for hour each day break the mo-
notony Of hmdrum existence.
The physical spring fever is the protest of man, the
ANIMAL against his diet The latter part of the winter in
temperate and northern climates has marked steadily
growing increase in of the heavy foods and lack of
''fresh things What fruit has been eaten has been
Iargey preserved dried and nearly all food been
cooked The craving for green salads and fresh fruit
only an expression of physical necessity. Vegetable
acids and salts essential to perfect activity of the body
cells These elements found both in vegetables and
fruits Such foods must be in order to obtain full
benefit Cooking to change the chemical nature of
these complex organic salts and acids. The Of proper
proportion of such foods during the winter obvates this

Why not?"
He checked himself abruptly, and
with q sudden "h-sh," and came
out to invite us most cordially to
enter the box.
There was nothing to show that
any difference Of opinion had but

husband and wife were smiling

trace Of emotion about her as she
welcomed me, with marked anxiety
to be pleasant and make me feel at

Who had sent him in such round

Then suddenly Lawford touched

The director of the United States

$4,000 100000. The inference is that
nearly half the gold mineral has
gone into jewelry or the arts, or is
boarded or lost. We do know that
about two thirds of the annual pro-
duction of $400,000.000 now goes
into coin. AS the quantity increases
every year, it is apparent that in

money will increase from six to
