 The Change of Life is the most criti- cal period of 8 Woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain.

shoulders.
 He got fierce blow or two, but held the pass until the four ladies of his party and Is1dora had reached shelter with Loveland.
 The women safe, Tony tore off his coat and began beating down the fiery snakes which crawled up the door frame tnward the ceiling. Loveland meanwhile, having refuged the four ladies with Isfdofa, hurried back to stand by Tony Kidd. Three minutes later two big men in blue sent the door crashing oh its hinges into the restaurant, and by the time the fire en- zines swept changing and snorting into the street the flames were stified and Alexander had found few candles to light up the smoky darkness.
 The whole drama in one act had played itself out from beginning to end in less than ten minutes, but it had come close to tragedy, as none realized more fully than the two whom it had very strangely brought togeth- er-Lord Loveland and Tony Kidd.
 No one was killed or seriously in jured, fortunately for Alexander the Greats popularity. Many hands and faces were cut with window glass, two or three women had bruises or sprained wrists, and the Italian bride and groom were objects for compas- sion.
 Loveland and Tony Kidd had saved the situation. Nobody else seemed to have accomplished anything deserving praise, but when calm followed storm De Rocheverte. Milton. his friend Ma son and the two Hungarians v1ed with one another in volubly explaining each act and failure to act. They had wanted to make way out for the ladies: that was why they had tried to get to the door, but they had been caught and overwhelmed in the crowd They all talked fast and eagerly. all most convincingly, but the ladies, pale and shattered, listened without an swering. And when they thanked Tony Kidd for saving them from be- ing burned a1ive'' they were careful neither to contradict nor assent when he assured them that it was tour brave pretender who did everything As for L4oveland, he was no longer to be seen. Tony looked in vain for his comrade in battle.
 Funny thing" Val thought as he looked at his burned left hand and his singed coat-''funny thing! I suppose behaved fairly decently because I had to do 1t and there was no other way. But I've fancied myself lot more before this for a grand slam at bridge or a right and left shot at a couple of birds.'
 There was no need to prove his cour- age further by reappearing in the res taurant If he went back it would look as if he were bidding for compliments from his late tormentors. and heaven knew that he wanted nothing of the sort. He wanted only to be let alone. Dick was binding up his injured hand when the sound of a voice behind his back made him turn quickly.
 s'See hcre,'' said Tony Kidd, sI've been looking for you. because I want to tell you something. Whatever else you may or may not be, you're a man anyhow"
 As he delivered himself of this speech Tony's pleasant. clever face lost the quizzical expression it was wont to wear and looked very attrac- tive in its earnestness.
 Thank you,'' answered Loveland sather stifly. Then, melting as his

 elf I've made things any worse for you I'm sorry" went on Tony. 'fIt's all been in the way Of business, you know"
 hI1lton's words to the young journal ist had cleared the mystery of the crowd who had glanced up from their newspapers to stare at the English waiter and gone back to their news papers again Tony's yelled al1usfon brought no surprise to Loveland, there fore, and he answered without heat. ''It doesn't matter" he said quietly in tired voice, which made good na- tured Tony vince.

 q must look like convict g return ed LoveIand, and, considering every thing, it struck Tony Kidd as odd that the Englishman should make that par ticular remark about himself.
 You've been having mighty hard time of it since-er-since I saw you last" the journalist observed.
 @It has been an experience" said Loveland.
 sI'd like to show my appreciation of the way you've acted tonight" said Tony. ''Is there anything can do for you?'
 'HThank you very much, but I think there's nothing you can do,'' Loveland 1 answered.
 Tony knew of one thing that he could do and had already decided to do far as possible by graphic descrip- ton of the fire at AIexander's in to- morrow mornings Light. But. after all, that would not accomplish much if any material good. A wave of sym pathy would only send more curiosity seekers to Alexander's, and Tony's keen eyes had seen through Love lands mask of indifference how he ] writhed under his punishment.
 Say, you can't stay on here," the American explained impulsively- "It's dogs life, and whatever you are, whatever you've been, you're too much of gentleman by breeding and edu- cation toSstamd uu.h have to quit. and perhaps could think of some way out if you''-

 ''This isn't the right place for him, Alexander. and you know it, retorted Tony.
 'It's the place he's engaged to stay in until he leaves the country, Alex ander persisted. 'tAnd l mean to hold him to his word or know the reason why. If Gordon leaves me without a weeks notice IIl make him sorry for 1 himself.''
 "He saved your place tonight and Lord knows how many lives, said Tony.

Mr.. Stetson said that capitalization

Mr.. Stetson asserted that over

to impair service.
Asked whether there was tendency
toward railroad monopoly. Mr.. Stetson
said there was no general tendency in
that direction. 1t was impossible to

Mr.. Stetson asserted that in the is

Rather than to have further federal
control he would prefer that railroads
operating in a state should terminate
in the state, and then connect with
the lines Of another state, thereby
avoiding federal interference.
