Enoch stared at the rest of the play
through moody eyes. When the cur
tain fell on the second act Zilla Paget
appeared on the stage alone to meet
uproarious applause mingled with
jeers and kissing. Wentworth gripped
the arm of his chair as he watched
her sweep the house with a triumphant
gaze. "A brand OF hate which has the
red of murder in it tore at his heart.
He rose, tossed his coat across his
arm, CROPPED beneath the chair for his
hat, then he slammed down the seat
and went out. On the stair he met
an usher.

Enoch descended without answering
him. He paused once to push his
arms into his coat, but he did not

In the last ten years the medical
staff of every army has been complete
ly reorganized and brought up to date.
The soldier comes in contact with the
medical staff even before he enlists,
and he is ever afterward in touch with
it as long as he is in service. It
watches over his health in every way,
sees that he gets proper exercise, but
not overworked, watches the food he
eats and the water he drinks, vacci-
mates him against typhoid and other
diseases, advises about his clothing
and even his shoes, prescribes rules
for the sanitation of his camps and
maintains the troops at the maximum
of physical efficiency.

Love One Another.

There is a beautiful legend of st. John
the beloved, which relates that when
he was a feeble old man, too weak to
walk to the assemblies of the church,
and addressing the people as he spread
abroad his hands, repeated again and
again these words: Love one an.
other"
J When asked why he said ever the
same thing, he replied. Because there
is nothing else; attain that and you
have enough"
Yes. love is enough. 1t is measure
less. 1t is creative of all things high
and holy.

DIR. Leonard Hill, the famous Lon.

cussion on vitamines the assertion
that those contained in wheat are not
destroyed by baking nor are those
that prevent scurvy killed by boiling.
He says all the evidence goes to show
that the vitamines in milk are unaf.

CHAPTER XXI.
Facina the Situation.

Facing the Situation.
Enoch had never been a drinking
man. The sight of drunkenness had
frequently aroused in him a species
of stomachic revolt; therefore. mere
physical repulsion had done much to
keep him from one form of debauch-
cry. During the days of utter DESC
lation that followed his sisters de-
parture he turned to whiskey as the
sufferer from insomnia seeks relief in
an opiate. 1t did not bring case, how
ever, either of body or mind. He went
about in a dull. half-sickened stupor,
hating himself and the world. One
night, in a lonely room Of the hotel
where he had taken refuge, he sat in
the darkness for hours thinking; then
like a flash he saw himself. 1t seemed
to him that for a second a shutter
somewhere, perhaps In some remote
lobe of his brain-had flashed open
and he saw not only his present o
dition, but his future. 1t was not a
pleasant phantom.
A half-empty bottle of whiskey stood
at his elbow. He stared at it for a
minute with a scowl, as if it were an
actual enemy. A feeling of nausea
crept over him. He lifted it, carried it
to the wash-bowl, and poured the
liquor down the drain-pipe. Then he
laid the empty bottle on a tray and
set it outside the door. He filled his
pipe with tobacco, pulled a chair to
the window, sat down, and stared at
the lights of the city. He fell into
one of his retrospective moods. He
began to trace backward every step
he had taken since the day he exacted
the forfeit of Merry's bond. He felt
like a vessel which had slipped it's
moorings and had been numerically
buffeted by n tempest after another.
Each one had done its work so ruth
lessly that he was a human derelict
left swamped and scuttled. The phrase
"a human derelict" stuck obstinately
in his brain; it described him wildly.
Already. he had had more than his
deserts. The vengeance of Zilla Paget
a the last straw. The woman's
image flashed before his Eyes; he
heard her satanic laugh and saw a
fleeing vision of his picturesque gold.
en-haired loyliness as he had slammed
the door and left his home.
Wentworth gritted his teeth savage
ly, then he looked at his watch. 1t
was close to midnight. He went
downstairs, paid his bill. ordered a
carriage. and drove to the Waverly
Place house. AS he stood fitting the
key noiselessly into the lock his heart
beat unanimously for a second OF
two. He opened the door stealthily
and passed through the vestibule. Ths
house was still and a lamp burned
dimly in the hall, as Jason always left
it until his master returned. He huns
his hat on the rack, stole upstairs tc
his W room, switched on the cleo
J tricity, and glanced about. He locked
