my theory is, Howard?"
"What?" demanded her husband.
Il believe you were hypnotized into
making that confession I've read of
such things before You know the

built of concrete and is expected to be

have the longest truss span of any
bridge in the world-1.80O feet, or 80
feet more than that Of the great Firth

There is, with some forms of stoEl-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo, to ex-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.

years, and up to nine years ago had

"The first symptoms of my break
down were distressing nervousness,
and loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted tc
actual prostration. Then came stom-

aches.

Howard looked at her in mingled
amazement and admiration. That she
should have dared to confront a man
as proud and obstinate as his father
astounded him.
What did he say?" he asked eag-

II asked him to come publicly to

assistance. He refused, saying he
could not be placed in a position of
condoning such crime and that your
behavior and your marriage had made
him wash his hands of you forever
Tears filled Howard's eyes and his
mouth quiyered.
