Of course. the unhappy lawyer had been
trying to distract attention from that in
eliminating paper. which no doubt con-
talned an estimate OF the wealth he hoped
to gain nefariously.
Everybody agreed that his apparent good
qualities had been only blind with which
Martin Pidcoe had covered the blackness
Of his nature. So people were amazed that
Edna Wayland mourned for him instead of
offering up prayers OF rejoicing at her
escape from a lifetime Of misery. They
said II was ridiculous sentimental nom
sense for her to say that she still believed
in Martin.
Therefore II as most upsetting and con-
fusing when the sheriff OF the next county
shot a burglar in the act OF breaking into
a bank and the robber made deathbed
confession, clearing up the Three Pines
mystery. He said that Martin Pidcoe had
trailed him into the alley back OF the
Security bank and caught him breaking in
the window and in the struggle that fol-
lowed Pidcoe had ben pushed against the
live wire and the robber mad made his
escape.
There Is scorn in Edna Wayland's SOM
Der eyes nowadays when she walks down
Main street and sees the people who knew
Martin from childhood and yet thought
/ him capable OF turning thief.

Greediness and Good Looks

Many a beauty is ruined by overeating.
All of us take more food than We need,
and II there is the least faint of greediness
woe betide complexion and figure. IL you
would be beautiful restrain your appetite
Greatness means an overworked liver,
with a consequent yellowing complexion
and leathery skin. The surest road to
heaviness and lost suppleness Of youth is
TO habitually overeat,
No woman can hope to keep her good
figure who loves her food overmuch. II
she does not get fat, she will probably
ruin her digestion-and with it goes health
and freshness.
Overeating brings stomach trouble, which
Is the worst foe to beauty. Many a red
nose and watery eye can be laid to too
much food
Flabby muscles and sagging flesh are
the sviftest followers in the train OF
three heavy meals day.
Did you ever see keen, alert eve in
the heavy eater? Besides the dun look
there may be yellow eyebals,
AS beauty is not alone cOloring and form
but expression remember that greediness
soon gives an earthly look TO the face that
is a horrid tell-tale.
Don't be an unbalanced faddist who
thinks overeating the source Of every
known will. Ordinary moderation at each
