Thus | have come to acquire large
amount of knowledge which may be ser

Remember that true beauty of form
may be cultivated. 1t is not merely an
accidental gift of nature. BY caring for
the body and keeping the right ideals in
view beauty may be developed in in
dividuals and in the race.
The truth of this is proved by the
ancient Greeks, who evidently cultivated

Some Of the suggestions for concealing
defects may sound obvious to the
thoughtess observer, but they are really
not unnecessary. It is always astonish-

After Regan's departure. before
Marions eyes. the Mayor took the
much disputed franchise and wrote
his veto boldly across the bottom,
then put it away in the safe. Marion
applauded him for this stand and he
left the office for the DAY
But the opposition was not through
with its franchise fight. There was
still one more card to play, that of
time. for unless the veto was pre-
sented by noon the next day the
franchise would go through by de-
fault. Regain felt the only way TO get
a corner on time was to kidnap the
Mayor. and that evening some of his
emissaries accomplished that feat,
Selling him and his chauffeur ON their
drive home and depositing them
firmly roped to chairs, in basement
drinking-room far from town.
As the night wore on the guards,
who had RECALLED themselves literally
with liquid refreshments, slumped
into drunken slumbers by morning,
giving the two captives more oppor-
tunity to struggle against their bonds.
Finally the chauffeur got his hands
free, whipped out a knife and cut the
Mayor loose. and then they made a
dash for the door. The guards

Back in the Mayors Office that
morning Marion waited for his COM
ing. She looked over the papers,
straightened up small matters, opened
the great safe door. and still waited,
Incoming alarmed at his delay as she
thought of the franchise. She knew
where it was in the safe, but its
small compartment was locked and
she had no key to it.
In the meantime Regain, though
sure of his franchise proposition, re-
membered the discriminating letter he
had once sent the Mayor, and eX-
pecting him to be in rather nasty
mood after this experience, concluded
that letter would be much safer in
the writer's possession. So he sent
his aid, Nolan. to the Mayors office
TO find the letter, If possible
Nolan got in, but while he was
searching through the desk Marion
heard him, came into the room, rec
ognized him, and in a flash had him
covered with a businesslike pistol
There was nothing for Nolan to do
but to rise to the occasion and obey
her when she ordered him into the
big safe and instructed him to open
a small compartment. He, too, re-
called the incident of the tool box
and remembered the young woman,
so he opened the lock for her, Then

For year things moved smoothly
in the Mayors office until the ques-
ton of the passing of a certain gas

cooperation in the matter. Regain
