 Now I'll tell you why I've come back, Anna" said Curtin Foulkes. "Im dying. I've got just two months to live. It's something that can't be cured. You needn't be afraid of me any more. I've been a bad lot, but even a dog comes home to die, and I want to die here, Anna"
 She took him in and the next day gave up her position to take care of him. There was money enough for the boys first term at Grantwich, and at the end of the two months she hoped to be able to go back to the office
 The sick man grew neither better nor worse. The doctor confirmed his statement, but he extended the period of suffering to three months. Before the first month was ended there was no more money in the bank. Anna was confronted with the alternative of sacrificing her boys school career or sacrificing her husband. She sac ri6ced the boy.
 At least, she meant to. But Curtin Foulkes made a move which was even more dramatic tha1 his reappearance.
 Anna" he said, the evening before she was to write that letter to the head master of Grantwich, "I want to tell you something. They say the worst man has a streak of good in him. Do you remember that insuT- ance policy for a thousand dollars took out when we were married? I've kept it up-for you. I've borrowed to the limit on it, but there will still be seven hundred for you and Charlie. after-I'm gone"
 The butcher, the baker, She grocer, the physician, and, last of all, the undertaken looked forward, each and all, to the death of Curtin Foulkes, that they might get their money. And the future of Charlie Foulkes depend ed upon his fathers death likewise. If ever a man would be well out of the world Curtin would, blackguard that he had been.

How tOLive
 100 Years Is the Name of a New Book

Eugene Christian, P. S. D.. the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age your work and the time of the year. It teach es you how to select, how to combine and how to proportion your food at meals to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and per- feet elimination of waste In other words, it teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestina disorders by removing their causes, which is wrong eating
 If you have Indigestion, gas, fermentation, sour stomach or any such disorders after meal. this book tells you how to put the remedy your table at the next meal
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals except man live about eight times as long it takes them to get their growth If man should do this he would live nearly POO yeays but civilized man dies at the average age of 39 He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair and drops into his grave only a few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 9 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old 9 per cent die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race race die before they are twenty-five.
 Auother animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. Man breathes the same air. drinks the same water lives under the same sunshine but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over 900 people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and how to eat. How to Live 100 Years gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them chemically harmonious and perfectly digestible and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in veIlum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian 213 West 18th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life saving book by re- turn mail, and if it is not worth weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.

PINEDALE

We have been visited of late by candidates, (Dolores) who have been earnestly soliciting that each voter put an X in the little square opposite their name. This is very easy thing to do, it only takes two short strokes of the pen, and anyone ought to do that much for a friend. But they are all our friends and there are too blooming many for the offices. What terrible incon- venlence this is. Can't the state create a few more offices? :? So all can have a pssition! It would be so nice to get to finger the dough.

WHY HE CAME BACK
By H. M. EGRERT.

Anna Foulkes was thirty-nine, and her boy, Charlie, the apple of her eye was twelve. Her worthless husband had abandoned her seven years be fore. Annals friends and acquaint ances had congratulated her when six years of married life ended in her freedom. She would not get divorce but then she did not want to marry again.
 Curtin, having run through all her money, had departed. At first Anna dared only hope his decision not to return was true; then she dared to believe; finally conviction became cer' taintv. She left the neighborhood and took up her residence in a different city.
 Anna's folks had been gentle. The boy was to go to an expensive pre-, paratory school. For this she had toiled and scraped in the office where she was employed as a stenographer. The hard-earned money had been gath. cred together. In three months Char lie was to enter Grantwich.
 And then-Curtin came back.
 Anna found him leaning against the gate of her little cottage on the out skirts of the town. He was in rags, but sober. He was thin and wasted and deadly pale. Instinctively the woman shrank away from him as she saw and recognized her husband.
 "Curtin!" she whispered. Why have you come back?"
 'T'n tell you, Anna," he answered May I come in?"
 ''Yes, it's your right" she answered But"
 "Oh, you needn't be afraid that I'll do any harm to the boy" he answered. You needn't say"
 That is his right, Curtin" she an swered. She called Charlie from the
