She was just 10 when his eyes first
rested upon her delicate, nower.like
beauty and the impression she made
upon him had grown stronger with
each succeeding day. He had made
no open confession of his love for the
girl. indeed there were times when
he fought against It;
He had reached his thirty.iifth year
without experiencing the effects Of a
really strong affection for one of the
opposite sex, and the fascination this
young girl exercised over him seemed
strange and unacCountable. One
thing was certain. Now that his sis.
tcr's sharp eyes had penetrated his
secret, there would be no rest for him
until a decision was reached one way
or the other. That she did not ap.
prove of his choice made no differ
ence. Miss Leslie Delmar had reigued
as mistress of her bachelor brother s
house so long that she had almost
come to look upon her position as per
manent, but this was case in which
he had quietly resolved to brook no in.
reference.
During his journey TO the office he
wondered restlessly how he should
lead up to the point which interested
him, the winning of the girl with
whom he felt his future happiness
rested. Never had legal problem, no
matter how tangled presented such
difficulties to his mind as the unrav-
cling of this dubious love knot. And
when he came face to face with the
subject of his thoughts the difficulty
seemed greater than ever. She had
never looked pretticr than on that par.
ticular morning and the accents of her
sweet low voice found a responsive
echo In his heart.
Somehow her Inconsistencies OF
the emotion she excited In him made
her seem all the more unapproach-
able. Like many another man before
him. John Delmar realized that the
time was close at hand when he must
decide his fate by single question,
and the thought daunted him. All
through that forenoon he transacted
business like a man in dream. His
eyes strayed continually to the slim,
neatly clad figure of the girl bending
over her machine. II was almost a
relief when Il o'clock arrived and
Irene went to luncheon, leaving him

plation OF Tommy, the office boy.

"Who are you?" asked the man.
Adam wavered a moment before he

nothing else.

years of life.
Begin by eating very little apple
in the morning, and increase the
amount gradually until by and by 1T

particularly adapted on account of this

general purifying qualities.
H. L. B., Mixing Foods.-Should one

same meal. pork and apples for ex-
ample?
Ans.-Apples digest in an hour, pork
in four or flve hours. The two foods are
first mixed by the movement of the
stomach. Now the apples must be re-
tanned longer than If they were there
alone, and thus spoil the meal, more
or less; or, the pork must pass out
with the apples (if the apple is much
the larger portion) hours too soon for
proper digestion. OF course the first
change in proteid food (meat, nuts,
fish, beans. cereal gluten, etc. is CO.
agulation by the hydrochloric acid OF
the gastric juice, in the stomach; but
the natural process differs somewhat
from the action of fruit acids on al
bumen. No two acids act exactly
alike, and digestion is an extremely
delicate process. We know that an
invalids digestion would be upset by
apples and beans together, and the
healthy person would waste vitality In
disposing of such mixture. Of
course some mixtures are especially
bad, as everyone of weak digestion
knows, but some are less objection
able. The time of milk, eggs (un'
cooked) and toast in the stomach is
! about the same and their chemical re-
lations are harmonious, though no two
foods digest exactly alike and it has
been shown that the character OF the
secretions is determined by the we
culiarities of each food. The break
ing up of the coarse casein curdS Of
cows milk by toast is beneficial. AL
nuts, all fruits, all cereals, most veget
ables, are harmonious in their classes
but meat and milk, fruit and veget
ables, meats and fruits are particular
ly inharmonious.

Moonshiners Were Children.

A party of revenue officers who re-
turned from the notorious York settle,
ment in the dark corner" Of South
Carolina, reported they had found
three children, none more than ten
years old, making brandy with a still
they had constructed themselves.
This is one of the most out-of-the
way sections in the country, and
when the officers made the raid they
found little apparent effort to hide
the stills. The children evidently had
seen the work going on all their lives
and had been brought up to look on
it as an honorable means of making
4 livelihood.
The still used by the children con

Veteran Trainers Story Of "criprie''
That Made Show Of the Rest
of His Field.

A group of horsemen were talking
shop in the lobby of the Raleigh Inc
conversation turned to events OF long
ago, and Theodore F. Coles Of Char
lottesville, Va, trainer of thorough
breds, whose first experience with the
runner dates back to the days short
ly following the war, told this one:
There was horse called Toana--
you remember him, probably, for lie
started in races at Gloucester. He was
a fast horse, and could beat pretty
nearly anybody's animal for six fut.
longs. Long-continued racing had US
effect on the horse, and in his latter
days his legs gave way. Repeated APP
plications of the firing iron helped to
keep him going, but his legs always
were under suspicion and required the
most careful attention. One day they
brought him down from Gutenberg
and entered him in race. The horse
opened in the betting at long odds,
| but was backed off the states before
| the bugle called 'em to the post. Joe
| Bergen, who afterward was killed in
a race, had the mount. Joe didn't
know anything about the underpinning
| of his mount until he got to the post,
when he saw Starter Pettingill look
ing down at Toana's front legs. On
| one of them he wore bandage
through which the iodine had soaked
and out of the top Of the bandage
oozed vaseline.
Joe, said Pettingill, that horse
is ready to break down. When droI

to get killed.
Joe suggested that Toana was car
rying a lot of money, but Pettingil
was obdurate, and when he sent the
horses away Bergen did as he was tolc
and pulled up. He let Toana gallon

and then, finding that Toana was go

sad, reunions, these enthusiastic pa
rades through the great city, these
glorious awakenings Of memories OF
deeds we'll done in the past. That was
what ate into his soul and blotted out
the light in his face. He had been
coward-coward! In those days, when
the uniform before him had been a
bright red, and the gun, leaning
against the foot of the bed, had
sparkled and shone, he had failed to
answer the bugle call of his country.
The sounds in the street below grew
louder, and the sun streamed into the
room, sending sudden riot to Adams
heart. The veins in his temples
throbted like ceaseless threshing ma
chimes, separating all the chaff of his
long life of failure and cowardice
from this strange, burning prayer that
sprang up within him, that he might
once, only once, go forth in the uni
form of the country he loved, to march
behind the flag he had failed to pro-
tect, to be an American soldier!
He found himself taking off his coat
with shaking hands, and, almost be-
fore he realized it, he was hurrying
into the uniform. He busted the moth
eaten fez and put it on his head. The
worn tassel fell over his ear, and he
tossed it back with new, free fling
of his head. The mantle Of Dan
seemed truly to have fallen upon him,
bringing with it the spirit of 81.
A man leading two little boys by the
hand pointed him out to the children
"There goes one of those grizzly old
fighters, boys. I tell you, they did
great work." The words reached
Adam and sent a CLEAN to his eyes.
With one great throb Of his heart
Adam stepped into the street and
sw-ng into line. The man next to him
glazed in his direction, and his face
whitened.

passed away with the lapse of time.
Then the majority of the people of
the United States had the graves of
fathers, sons or brothers who had
given their lives to the union to mark
for honor and tender recollection.
The memories of the great struggle
for the union and freedom were en-.

dead.
The lapse of years has wrought an
inevitable change. Even to the older
part of the community who retain
the memory of the civil war and it's
heroes the freshness of the recollec.
