AmyI Pearls,

Who will deny that sturdy physique is a valuable asset? Had 1t sot been for deep chest. a powerful pair of lungs, heart without a flaw and an underlying vitality such as is possessed by but small minority In shese degenerate times, l must cer- sainiy have succumbed. For, as I learned later had inhaled enough carbon monoxide gas to have killed fhe average man of my age, twice over. The stove on which the caul- dron of peanuts steamed was char coal furnace. and the tiny space within that back room was impregnatcd with ahe heavy poisoned fumes to a dis lance of four feet and more above the loor

If am to be. neye what have been told of my con- aition when discovered, I was very far sn the way to dissolution. I was, in aact. moribund. and in the eyes of those who carried me from the cellar 10 an upper room l was already dead. 1t is perhaps needless to add that no steps were taken to revive me. Even Aad l been regarded as still livIne doubt that l should have received any other treatment.

 With dawning consciousness came acute discomfort. My head and back ached nigh unbearably, and my ankle, swollen to twice its normal size, shot pains 10 my thigh. My tongue seemed 100 large for my mouth and my throat was raw. Later. memory started a train of questions and surmises. A half light admitted through the open window gave unsatisfactory answer as so time and place. It might be dawn, midday or evening. l might still be in 4he same building into the basement oS which had plunged after the so- called Peter Johnson, or I might be miles away. Yet of one fact I was assured It was no longer night. Day had come again and eight hours at Beast must have passed since l stood killing time on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant In which was to have met Yup Sing.
 And, as my mind cleared. there rushed in upon me a recollection of Evelyns apprehension and of my promise to reassure her not later than eleven o'clock. Suffering as was. physically, ! know my mental distress At thought of how she must have waited with growing solicitude hour after hour for that expected ringing of ahe telephone bell; how. indeed, she xust, even now be distraught, not by uncertainty, but by the conviction that some ill-some serious ill-had hefal- lsp me, was more poignant.

A Slump in Crystal Consolidated

 The week of my convalescence was not eventful. Evelyn and Mrs. Lan- caster called daily. and the reports from O'Hara came each morning with unvarying regularity and equally un. varying lack of import.

"Oh, Warren it isn't the place."

Helen smiled and shook her head.
Now. as inter of fact, would you
be quite as happy" he persisted, eff

mo, | suppose not, but l never like
to think that ones happiness is de-
pendent upon ones stomach-and par
ticularly tonight"
"All right then, we won't think it.
But incidentally, we'll order an endive
salad, some roquefort cheese and
cordial"
"Oh, Warren and it's been such an
expensive dinner already. Please don't
order anything more!"
Nonsense, | guess We can afford a
little dinner on an occasion like this.
Here, waiter! Let us have a portion of
endive salad and some roquefort
cheese. You needn't dress the salad,
bring the oil and vinegar and I'll mix
it here. Now, kitten, what kind of
cordial do you want?"
ooh, dear. you know how little l
know about cordials."

have pousse cafe! Sounds like a real
kittens drink, doesn't it? You'll have
to purr over that. And it's a pretty
thing to look at, too-all different col
ors!"
Helen leaned suddenly toward him
with shining eyes. "Oh, Warren | am
so happy, so wonderfully happy. Do
you suppose it will last?'
OF course it will last. Don't be sill
ly! Here comes the salad.
The waiter placed before them some
fresh, crisp endive and a plate of ro-
quefort cheese.
Nov, waiter, bring a small bowl to
mix the dressing in, and some paprika
and little pulverized sugar.
Helen watched him mix the dress
ing, with all the old alteration shining
from her eyes. She glanced around at
the other men in the fashionable din
ing place. How insignificant and unin-
teresting they looked compared to
Warren.
There was no one like him. The set
of his shoulders, the poise of his head,
gave hi malways the air of man of
large affairs, of strength and power.
There, now, as he made a paste of
part of the roquefort cheese and mix
ed it in the dressing. l think that'u be
just about right. There's nothing like
a little roquefort cheese with a salad
like this. Now try that" handing her
plate of the endive, we'll covered
with dressing.
"Oh, Warren it's delicious
Warren ate his salad with evident
relish. He always ate rapidly and
with an unmistakable enjoyment of
the food.
To Helen who minced delicately ov-
er everything, this rapid eating in
anyone else would have been distaste-
full. But with Warren, it seemed only
part of his strenuous masculinity.
1t would have seemed absurd for
him to have minced over things as she
did.
THE BEST TIME.
And now as he pushed back his
empty salad plate, he drew out CT
gar case and selected a cigar with crit
ical care. He always smoked while she
fingered over her salad. And to Helen
this was always the happiest part of
the meal. The careless grace with
which he lit and held his cigar ALWAYS
thrilled her, and somehow she ALWAYS
