document-the last will of Simon
Newell.
Mary Halloran stared at 1t In terror,
This message from the dead-she did
not want to read those letters that
danced before her eyes. She was
still standing with the will In her
hand when Tom came in.
What is it. dear?" he asked, see
ing her distress.
Mary Halloran put the paper be-
hind her.
"Tom," she said, you know Mr..
Newell meant to leave all his prop
erty to me, and how John Ames got
1t. The will was never found. But

Tom stared at her. and slowly un-

he let her take her time about moving
after breaking off the engagement.
For that was what he did, within a
month after Newelps death. Why
should he marry penniIess girl when
the rich Miss Sarah Smith looked with
favor upon him. and would comfort
ably swell the Ames fortunes?
Five years later Mary married Tom
Halloran, man a little below her sta
tion in life. They we're very happy.
After some years the first of their
three children was born.
Ames and Mary never spoke ex-
cept when 1t was unavoidable. Con-
scious that he had acted wretchedly,
Ames schemed to drive Halloran out
of the village. Honest Tom Halloran
knew that he and Mary had been
engaged, but not the cold-blooded way
In which Ames had Tilted the woman
who was now his wife.
Mary had sent back the furniture,
all except the old cabinet which Mr.
Newell had had made for her. Take
care Of that. my dear" he had said
tits made of tropical wood, and some
day 1t will be worth its weight in gold
to you"
When Tom had gone into the kitch-
en- to smoke his pipe Mary sat darn
ing busily, and her thoughts wandered
back over all those years that had
passed How happy she and Tom
had beenl And how thankful she
was that she had discovered Ames'
nature before she married himl She
did not care about the field, but
Ames' persecution of Tom had
aroused her fighting spirit. If she
could repay Ames in kindl
Suddenly she perceived tiny edge
of white against the fiat top of the
cabinet. 1t looked like paper pairing.
She rose to brush it aside, and to her
amazement discovered that it was part
OF a sheet, apparently wedged into
the wood in some strange fashion.
A moments examination showed
her that there was a secret drawer
in the cabinet And the paper-as
she pulled it through the orifice in
the wood she could see that there was
writing on it. She fumbled about un-

children are putting on weight ane

mother is apt to be fairly busy.
1T isn't that care so much about
the old field" said Tom. Were do
ing well enough, and the fact is, that
mortgage was a nuisance. Now with
out 1t we can have more money tc
put into the dairy. But It wasn't
exactly neighborly of Mr. Ames, see
| ing how long he's known you
The acquaintance dated bach
twenty-five years and more, to the
time when Mary Newell was the
adopted daughter of old Simon Newell
John Ames' half-brother. but nearly
forty years his senior Simon Newell
was the squire of the town, and II
was understood that all his posses.
sions were to go to Mary. He wanted
to see her married to John Amesi
who, at the age of twenty, was al
ready gifted with that shrewd, cal
culating nature miscalled hardheaded
ness in country places.
Johns wooing had been conducted
with consummate skill. Mary was
completely deceived by his protesta
tions, so much so that when JohI
asked her to marry him she though
herself the happiest girl alive. On
kmonth before the date set for tn
wedding the old squire had stroke.
He lay for week unconscious, but
before he died, he opened his eye
and seemed to recognize those abou
him. He looked at Mary. He trie
Ito speak, but could not. A momen
later he closed his eyes and passe
out of life.
When the will was sought 1t coul
not be found. Reluctantly, Mary
friends came to the conclusion tha

SUNSHINE IN THE STOMACH
Happiness Lies In Eating Abova
Ground Products, It ls Said by
Those of a Certain School.

Some people say that to be happy
one should eat only sun kissed foods.
By sun kissed, they mean all fruits
and vegetables that grow above ground.
The more these things are dependent
upon the rays Of the sun for perfection
the better effect they will have upon
the individual who consumes them,
the Detroit Free Press states.
Every man and woman in daily life
is sure to need the brightness of the
sun in the stomach as we'll as the
heart and home, declare the advocates
of the sun kissed fare, and there is no
better way of getting it than through
nourishing food
In the sun-kissed diet there Is very
little meat, though poultry is used
frequently and eggs are favored -
poultry because 1t is at it's best when
the fowls have been reared in the sun
shine and open air. Beef and lamb
are considered more or less depress-
ing
Potatoes are carefully Stunned, de
spite their great food value. They ar
grown in the dark earth and never Sc
the sun. They are apt to make on,
dull. Instead of potatoes. rice is usef
freely, boiled in croquettes or in pud
dings. Rice is full of nourishment-
witness the Japanese nation Its grea
merit is attributed to the fact that
is grown in a sunny climate and d.
pends entirely upon the kisses of tn
sun.
The farther from the ground vego
table grows the greater the good oh
tanned from eating it.
Fruits are used at all meals,
much as one can get, particularly
oranges, for all through they are o.
the brilliance of MONDAY sun.
ANY fruit that grows exclusively il
sunny climate is preferable to &
northern grown fruit, as the South is
closer to the sun, and the blossoms
then the fruit, are kissed with NOR,
strength and warmth by the sun.
Olives are in tremendous favor. as
there is nothing more ardently kissed
Olive oil is used for all cooking in
stead of butter and lard. thereby i'm
parting to meat as we'll as other foods
the necessary sun qualities.
It is easy to be sun food faddist,
but 1t is said to be well worth while.
