WICKERSHAM OF REPORT.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Attorney-

casions.
"Of course / expect to resign on

Why Should a Chicken
Lay q Soft helled Egg?

Because, Willie, the chicken don't know how ITO create a hardsheled egg
unless if has some food with lime in it,
So chickenrasers often provide limestone gravel broken oyster shells or
some other form Of lime.
Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly
Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are sohtsheled.
Let's step from chickens to human beings.
Why is a child backward and why does a man or woman have nervous
potraton OF brainfag? There may be a variety of reasons but N thing is
certain.
If the food is deficient in Phosphae of Potash the gray matter in the nerve
centres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken
down by the activities of yesterday.
Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to
mite albumin and water to make gray matter
Grape-Nuts food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a die@hble form.
A chicken can't always select its own food but a thoughtful mn an select
suitable food for his children, wife and himself.

Tho Game Played In the Usual Way.
The road on which they advanced
into the mountains was well made
and well kept up. The canon through

Naturally 1t wound IN every direction.
following the devious course OF the
river, which 1t frequently crossed from
one side to the other on rude log
bridges. A brisk gallop Of half a mile
or so on a convenient stretch OF com
paratively level going put the two In
the lead far ahead Of the numbering
wagon and out of sight of those others
of the party who had elected to go q
horseback. There was perhaps a tactt
agreement among the latter not TO
break in upon this growing friendship.
or, more frankly. not to interfere In q
developing love affair.
The canon broadened here and
there at long intervals and ranch
houses were found in every clearing.
but these were few and far between
and for the most part Armstrong and
Enid Maitland rode practically alone
save for the passage of an occasional
lumber wagon.
"You can't think" began the man,
as they drew rein after a splendid
gallop and the somewhat tired horses
readily subsidized into a walk, how
hate to go back and leave you"
"And you can't think how loath lam
to have you return" the girl flashed
out at him with a sidelong glance from
her bright blue eyes and q witching
smile from her scarlet lips.

she could make no resistance. indeed
she scarcely knew what to expect un-
til he crushed her to him and kissed
her, almost roughly, full on the lips.
How dare you," cried the girl. her
face atlame, freeing herself at last.
and swinging her own horse almost to
the edge Of the road which here ran
on an excavation some fifty feet above
the river. ~

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard
to keep awake and do things in day

Nor had the physical In her educa-

aher ct least the mems sana and the

She had ridden to hounds many times
ON the anise-scented trail Of the West

Geisurely golf had engaged her atten-
Sion on the courts and green's OF the

dgether she reflected great credit upon
her pastors and masters spiritual and
temporal and her up-bringing In the
three departments Of life left little to
ne desired.
Upon her graduation she had been
at once received and acclaimed by the
Assembly Set" of Philadelphia. to
which indeed she belonged unques-
stoned by right of birth and position
and there was no other power under
heayen by which she could have eff
Gected entrance therein. at least
4hat Is what the outs thought
OF that most exclusive circle. The
old home Of the MaitIands over
looking Rittenhouse Square had
been the scene OF her debut. In
all the refined and decorous gaities Of
iPhiladelphia's ultra-fastidious society
sshe had participated. She had even
looked upon money standardized New
York in Its delirium OF extravaganza,
at least In so far as a sedate and we'll
born Philadelphia family could coun-
esenance such golden madness. During
chs year she had ranged like a con-
uuerer-pardon the masculine appella-
stou-between Palm Beach in the
asouth and Bar Harbor in the north.
philadelphia was proud of her, and
,ale was not unknown in those I'm
fortunate parts OF the United States
which lay without.
In all this she had remained q frank,
free, unspoiled young woman. Life
YVES full of zest for her, and she en-
Soyed 1t with the most un-P ennsylva-
snian enthusiasm. So
The second SUMMED after her ON
ting out found her In Colorado. Robert
Maitland was one of the big men Of
che west. He had departed from Phil
adelphia at an early age and had set
tied In Colorado while 1t was still in
the formative period. There he had
grown up with the state. The Phil

stand 1t or explain 1t. Bob Maitland
must have been. they argued, q rever-
sion to an ancient type. a throwback
to some robber baron long a~ntecedent
to William Penn. And the speculation
was true. The blood Of some lawless
ad%venturer of the past. discreetly for
got by the conservative section Of the
family, bubbled in his veins unchecked
by the repressive atmosphere Of his
home and immediate environment.
He had thoroughly identified him
self with his new surroundings and
had plunged into all the activities of
the west. During one period OF his
life he had actually served as sheriff
of one of the border counties. and 1t
was q rapid bad man" indeed, who
enjoyed any advantage yer him when
1t came to drawing his gun" His
skill and daring had been unques-
toned, he had made a name for him
self which still abides, especially in
the mountains where things yet re-
manned almost as primitive as they
had been from the beginning.
His fame had been accompanied by
fortune, too; the cattle upon a thou
sand hills were his, the treasures OF
mines of fabulous richness we're at
his command. He lived in Denver in
one OF the greatest Of the bonanza
palaces on the hills OF that city, con-
fronting the ~snow-capped mountain
range, For the rest he held stock in
all sorts of corporations, was a d.
rector In numerous oncerns and SO
on-the reader can supply the usual
catalogue, they are all alike. He had
married late in life and was the father
of two little girls and a boy, the old
est sixteen and the youngest ten.
Going east, which he did not love.
on an ~infrequent business trip, he
had renewed his acquaintance with
his brother and the one 1--WE lamb OF
his brothers flock, to-wit, the afore-
mentioned Enid. He had been struck,
as everybody was, by the splendid
personality Of the girl and had striven
earnestly to dlsabuse her mind Of the
prevalent idea that there was nothing
much worth while on the continent
beyond the Allegheny except scenery.
What you need, Enid, is a ride
acros the plains, a sight of real noun
talns, beside which these little foot
hills In Pennsylvania that people back
here make so much of wouldn't be
noticed. You want to get some of the
| spirited, glorious freedom Of the west
into your conservative straight-laced
little body"

marked his brother. Ends father.
freedom was the last thing a young
lady gently born and d~elicately
nurtured would have coveted"
"Your day is passed, Steve" re-
turned the younger Maitland with
shocking ~carelessness. Freedom is
what every woman desires now, espe-
cially when she is married. You are
not in love with anybody. are you,
Enid?"
