stimulants.
Sleep eight hours daily, exercise

"A mans most critical hour in the
day is the thirty minutes before and
after meals. He should absolutely
stop work a half hour before each
meal and not resume work until a
half hour after each meal.
Each person should be alone for
a half hour each day, not necessarily

81 couldn't go to sleep. I would lie
there looking at the ceiling. Bu'
gradually I became used to it, and 4
sleep as well as any man-with my
eyes open.
For IS years it didn't bother me.
I did my work as usual, and / was
healthy and slept at least eight hours
every night. Two years ago / began
to have headaches, which extended
from the top of my forehead to my
eyelids.
Il thought l had rheumatism of the
eyes, and when l couldn't stand the
pain any longer l decided to come to
the hospital"
The physicians who are studying
Anderson's unusual ailment say that 1t
is not rheumatism. Their explanation
Is that the neglected irritation has
caused the eyelids to grow fast to the
eyeballs.
The junction is now so intimate
that IL an effort to cut the eyelids free
would at the same time pucture the
cornea or delicate outer covering or
the eye and cause hopeless blind
ness.
Despite this opinion of the doctors,
Anderson still believes that rheuma-
tism is the cause of his trouble, and
that he can be cured
If his contention is right the case of
Anderson presents a striking parallel
to that of Wilkie Collins, the English
novelist. Collins, afflicted with rheu-
matism of the eyes, lay on his face
shielding his eyes with his arm, and
dictated one of his greatest novels,
''The Moonstone."
The disease left Collins after a pc.
riod of eight months. and for the re-
mainder of his active career as q
writer his eyes were normal.

Harlon, as he hurried along the
halls, wondered what his wife wanted
He wasn't the sort of husband whose
presence is frequently demanded.
Then he opened the door of the
boudoir and saw her sitting there
alone by the fire.
"You-you sent for me-"
She turned and looked towards the
voice, then rose up and stood there,
resting her hand on the chairback.
Her gown of velvet hung in great,
golden folds around her, and the fire.
light outlined the splendor of her hair
and throat and form. She was a strik-
ingly beautiful woman-the sort of
woman who wisely chooses to marry a
man both moral and dense She stood
there now, measuring him and measur-
Ing herself, and then, at last, she
spoke
IF sent for you because 1 wanted to
know how much courage and how
much greatness of character you

Harlon, being masculine, naturally
was as completely sure of the pos
session of every desirable attribute as
he was unaware that his ears stood
out and his legs were bowed.
Anything you want, Ada me said,
"you know you can have"
AS he spoke he could hear that his
words did not sound quite mp to the

that as a general rule none could be

Mrs. Harlon leveled her big, glorious
eyes upon him and smiled.

Mrs. Harlon held the pistol In her
hand and examined its mechanism
with an absent-minded frown. The
loads lay in a glass of water on the
table beside her; presently she picked
them up in her fingers, dried them on
her handkerchief replaced them in
the empty chambers of the revolver,
and. crossing the room, laid 1t on the
chimney-piece.
Then she sank her hands deep in
the wide pockets OF her empire dress
ing-gown, compressed her lips for an
instant, sighed heavily, and rang the
bell. To the responding servant she
said briefly:
Il want to speak to your master;
and then she turned towards the win
dow and waited while the man went
through the many corridors that lay
between the private suite Of his mas
ter and mistress and the billiard room,
where all the men of the party were
making a jolly end to rainy day.
A telegram had just come for
Hughes, summoning him to town by
the midnight express. Chamberlain,
who had arrived late and had to share
his friends apartment, was so over
joyed at the prospect Of whole bed
to himself that he offered to drive
him across country to the train. He
regretted the offer directly he had
made it, but Hughes had exhibited so
much pleasure in his acceptance that
it seemed impossible to withdraw.
While they were discussing the matter
the man came in with Mrs. Harlon's
message. There wasn't a fellow pres
ent who would not have been less sur
prised if their hostess had sent for
himself-Mrs. Harlon being that kind
of woman" Harlon flushed with a
mixture of Importance and pleasure
and quilted the room at once. After
he was gone all the men but Hughes
laughed Hughes didn't laugh because
he was scribbling an order to send to
the stables.
Then Chamberlain became sober
all of a sudden. Il don't believe I'll
