Appetite Not a Necessity.

DR.. John R. Murlin of New York, as
sistant professor of physiology at the
Cornell university medical college, in
an article in the October number of
the Journal of the Outdoor Life, COM
pares the food we eat to the fuel used
in furnishing steam and power for an
engine. In selecting our food he says
that We should eat enough to furnish
energy for the days work, but that
much more than this is not needed.
He holds that the appetite is not ne
cessity for good digestion There is
no fallacy of nutrition" he says,
greater than that which supposes
that food cannot be digested and
utilized without appetite" Most of the
food we eat, fully four-f1fths, goes to
supply energy for our everyday tasks,
while less than one-fifth goes to sup
ply building material.

that lay in her presence. And so, with
every step outside the door threat,

She was gone! The disappoint-

great. In fury of revolt against the
scheme of things, l heard that she
had started home to Richmond-but
that she might still be caught at the
I station.
To see her had by that time become
an obsession. l picked up my hat,
threw open the door, and, obvious of
the shock to the office force of my
presence, followed so Immediately
by my exit, l dashed out to the ele-
vator AS I went down in one cage
l caught a glimpse of Johnson and
two other men going up in the next.
l hardly gave them thought. There
was no hanson in sight, and jumped
on a passing car. Let come what
might, arrest, prison, disgrace, was
going to see Alison.
l saw her. l flung into the station,
saw that it was empty-empty, for
she was not there. Then l hurried
back to the gates. She was there, a
familiar figure in blue, the very gown
in which I always thought of her. the
one she had worn when, Heaven help
mel had kissed her, at the Carter
farm And she was not alone. Bend
ing over her, talking earnestly, with
all his boyish heart in his face, was

They did not see me, and I was
glad of it. After all, it had been

my heel and made my way blindly
out of the station. Before 1 lost them
I turned once and looked toward
them, standing apart from the crowd,
absorbed in each other. They were
the only two people on earth that
cared about, and left them there to-
/ gether. Then l went back miserably
to the office and awaited arrest.

Lawrence Blakeley, lawyer, goes to
Pittsburg with the forged notes in the
Bronson case to get the deposition of
John Gilmore, millionaire. lady re-
quests Blakeley to buy her a Pullman
ticket. He gives her lower II and re-
tains lower 10. He finds a drunken man
in lower 10 and retires in lower
3. He awakens in lower and
finds his clothes and bag missing. The
man in lower 10 is found murdered. Cir
cumstantial evidence points to both
Blakeley and the man who stole his
clothes. The train is wrecked and Blake
ley is rescued from a burning car by a
girl in blue. His arm is broken. The girl
proves to be Alison West, his partner
sweetheart. Blakeley returns home and
finds he is under surveillance. Moving
pictures of the train taken just before
the wreck reveal to Blakeley a man leap
ing from the train with his stolen grip.
Investigation proves that the mans name
is Sullivan. Mrs. Conway, the woman for
whom Blakeley bought a Pullman ticket,
tries to make a bargain with him for the
forged notes, not knowing that they are
missing, Blakeley and an amateur de-
tective investigate the home of Sullivan's
sister. From a servant Blakeley learns
that Alison West had been there on a
visit and Sullivan had been attentive to
her. Sullivan is the husband of a daugh-
ter of the murdered man.
