There is no doubt that the use OF the
Jaws in vigorous m~astication Is the
source of stimulation toward their de-
velopment and the source of the pres

"The Jaws will not develop without
the blood supply, which is, in turn, de-
pendent on the stimulation of exercise.

ever beheld was a boy of perhaps hf-
teen whose lower jaw was of the size

of mind which was the reverse of en-

advanced to Iris but a moment since
now failed him, and his one master

he had lost her.
1t had all happened so suddenly that
the shock left him gasping. Probably

been in love with him she could not

While this passed through his brain,
he had been walking rapidly, and after
a few moments, coming upon Wash

one OF the benches near the center,

Two Meetings.

WV
Next morning Pedro awoke with a
sense of strangeness upon him, and
instinctively stretched out his hand
to touch Mr.. Jones, who always slept
beside him. But the bear was missing.
Instead of a rough, warm coat that
heaved sleepily beneath his hand, he
touched n coverlet soft as silk. At
this. his sense of u%neasiness increased,
and with an effort he opened his eyes
and sat up. All, yes! He remembered
now. Mr.. Jones was gone. Gone with
the sanction Of his master, gone per-
haps never to return! One by one
the events of the preceding evening
came back to his mind. His hesitancy,
Hills arguing with him, the details
of their compact, and his final agree
ment to the extraordinary proposal.
All, yes! and Hills writing of the two
letters, one of which gave him, Pedro,
possession OF the apartment In which
he now found himself. The other to a
friend of Hills to be delivered on the
morrow-that was today-today.
Slowly he let his gaze travel about
the comfortable little bedroom In
which he lay. Its furnishings we're

and suddenly sat very erect, examin-

For another little space Hill was
silent, turning over the sheets in his

Pedro. Could the boy be telling the
truth? Had he actually drawn these
things? They we're remarkable. Surely
such a one as had done them would
be famous, for work like this was not
to be hid easily. Indeed, 1t was amaz'
ingly good. II was the work OF a born
craftsman. But Pedro's face showed
no signs OF uneasiness. On the con
trary, his eyes were alight as he ex'
planned who the people were.

Pedro, suddenly self-conscious, a deep
