allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as
got out in the world began to use
1t and grew very fond of it. For some
years noticed no bad effects from its
use, but in time it began to AFFECT ma
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitched, my mem
tai processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew SO bad at last

A teacher in one of Brooklyn's pub

cleanliness must be observed among
the boys of her class that some OF

their parents what 1t means to mani

not even suggested itself to me, but
Barbara loving him as she did and
determined to save him, had thought
of 1t at once and had not hesitated to
take 1t, monstrous as it was in its
cruelty.
That Dan could accept so high a
price OF her astonished me, but
knew that she dominated him in the
AFFAIRS OF their everyday life. and
could understand that, sick as he was
with despair and remorse, he would
yield to her fierce persuasion. with
out at first realizing just what she
was offering for his honor.
