SLEEP TO AVOID EXHAUSTION
Theory of Swiss PhysioIogist Seems to
Fit into the Common Sense
View of the Matter.

Most of us believe re sleep because
we sre exhausted But Doctor Clapa-
reds, Swiss psychologist, advanced a
new theory, which is to the effect that
wo sleep to avoid being exhausted.
The theory is that sleep, instead of
being the result Of fatigue, is an i'm
pulsive self-disinfection which the body
conducts in order to get rid of the
waste products before they have time
ia produce exhaustion.
Just as combustion OF fuel for the
production of heat and energy always
is attended by ashes and Stag, so the
slow combustion which produces heat
and energy in the body likewise is at
tended by waste.
Since the senses never voluntarily
come to rest or shut themselves off
from the outer world, point eventu-
ally would be reached when the or
ganism would perish as victim of
general nerve exhaustion. In order to
hinder this nature arranges betimes, /.

Marta scanned the faces OF the staff
for some sign of dissent only to find
ing for more victory, which reflected
the feeling of the coursing crowds In
the capital. Though Lanny wished to
stop the war, he was only a chip on
the crest of wave. Public opinion,
which had made him an idol, would
discard him as soon as he ceased to be
a hero in the likeness of it's desires
She saw him aloof as the others, in
preoccupation, bent over the map out
lining the plan Of attack that they
had worked out while awaiting their
chiefs return from the charge. He
was taking a paper from his pocket
and looking from one to another Of his
colleagues studiously; and she was
conscious of that determination in his
smile which she had first seen when
he rose from the wreck Of his plane.

"You are appointed actual chief Of
staff and field marshall" said the
vice-chief to Lanstron. "The premier
says that every honor the nation can
bestow is yours. The capital is mad.
The crowds are crying: On to the
Gray capital!' Tomorrow is to be a
public holiday and they are calling 1t
Lanstron Day. The thing was 80
sudden that the spectators who de-
pressed our securities in the worlds
markets have got their due-ruint
And we ought to get an indemnity
that will pay the cost of the war"
Seated at one side, Marta could
watch all that passed, herself unobA
served. She noted a touch of color
come to Lanstron's cheeks as he made
a little shrug of protest.
Then she saw their faces grow bust
nesslike and keen, as they gathered
around the table, with Lanstron at the
head. They were oblivious of her
presence, immured in a mans world
of war.
your orders were obeyed. We
have not passed single white post

CAS- the Grays never expected to take
the defensive, their fortresses are in
ferior. Every hour we wait means
more time for them to fortify, more
time to recover from their demorali.

Without him-what then? 1t seemed
that the fatality that had let him es-
cape miraculously from the aeroplane
accident, made him chief of staff, and
brought him victory, might well
choose to ring down the curtain of
destiny for him in the charge that
drove the last foot of the invader off
the soil of the Browns. A voice
was calling. She heard It haz-
lily, with sudden access of giddy
fear, before it became cheerful, clar-
ion cry that seemed to be repeating
a message that had already been spo-
ken without her understanding it.
Hes safe, safe, safe, Miss Galland,
He was not hit He is on his way
back and ought to be here very soon!''
She heard herself saying Thank
you!" But that was not for some time
The aide was already gone. He had
had his thanks in the effect of the
news, which made him think that a
chief of staff should not receive con-
gratulations for victory alone.
Lanny would return through the
garden. She remained leaning against
the wagon body, still faint from hap
piness, waiting for him. She was
drawing deeper and longer breaths
that were velvety with the glow of
sunshine. A flame, the flame that
Lanny had desired, of many gentle yet
passionate tongues, leaping hither and
thither in glad freedom, was in pos
session of her being. When his figure
appeared out of the darkness the
fame swept her to her feet and to-
ward him. Though he might reject
her he should know that she loved
him; this glad thing, after all the
shame she had endured, she could
confess triumphantly.
But she stopped short under the
whip of conscience. Where was her
courage? Where her sense of duty?
What right had she, who had played
such a horrible part, to think of self?
There were other sweethearts with
lovers alive who might be dead on the
morrow IL war continued. The flame
sank to live coal In her secret heart.
Another passion possessed her as she
seized Lanstron's hand in both her
own.
"Lanny, listen! Not the sound Of
shot-for the first time since the
war began! oh, the blessed silence!
It's peace. peace-isn't it to be
peace?" AS they assembled the steps
she was pouring out a flood of bro
ken, feverish sentences which per-
mitted of no interruption. you kept
on fighting today, but you won't to-
morrow, will you! 1t isn't who plead
its the women, more women than

you to stop now Can't you hear
them? Can't you see them?"
In the fervor of appeal before she
realized his purpose. they were on
the veranda and at the door of the
dining-room, where the Brown staff
was gathered around the table.

TEMPTATIONS GIRLS FACE.

Tell, oh, tell me, grizzled face,
Does your heart and head keep pace?
All, the thin old lips reply,
Youth may pass and strength may die;
But of love 1 can't foretoken,
Ask some older sage than I.
If young girls could map out their
future, guide their destiny into which
ever channel most appealed to them,
few, if any, would go astray. Each
would meet good, honest young man
and after the regulation sweet and
tender courtship, would wed and set
tie down to an honored domestic life
blessed by loyal husband and loving.
merry children.
In their innocence and ignorance of
the world they are apt to look upon
each young man who approaches them
with apparent admiration as the
heart mate intended. Their lives are
purified or marred by the men with
whom they are brought into contact.
If they are girls who cannot be shell
tered at home by careful parents, but
must make their own way in the world
y
beauty in addition to youth, more often
than not they are subject to grave
perils and temptation that other
women never know. 1t usually begins
by some rich ne'er-do-well singing a
girl out, as she goes to and from her
work, by persistent effort succeeding
in breaking down the barriers of her
maidenly modesty by inveigling her
into Irritation. The girl Is fiattered,
hope rises with her to accompany. him
to nearby fine restaurant for lunch
con.
This type of scoundrel is sure to
bind the girl to the utmost secrecy
whispering that no one must know of
their little romance, and growing at
tachment
If the girl ignorantly refuses to keep
the affair secret, withstanding the
temptation of dining and auto rides,
the rascal has no intention of wasting
time with her, but finds an excuse to
fall out with her, letting her go her
way, turning his attention to some
other pretty maiden who is as foolish
as she Is fair and not proof against
temptation in fine setting. The first
girl goes her way, leads an honest
life and is rewarded by her good an
gel soon or late. s
The girl who is fattered by the man
with the polite manner, smooth ways,
beguiling smile and proficiency in love-
making and lured to cafes, joy rides
and clandestine meetings, keeping her
own counsel, has made her own bed,
which she will find inexpressibly hard.
There will be few, if any, to pity
her. At an early age girls should be
made to understand the difference be-
tween right and wrong, what to fear
and what to encourage, and above all
else that true lover never, never
comes in the guise of tempter. Sc
cret love affairs are harmful.

heard some other self answering
their polite questions; while fear,
a new kind of fear, was taking hold of
her real self; fear inexplicable, in
sidiously growing Lanstron was still
in the officers minds after his strange
appearance and stranger departure.
They began to talk Of him, and Marta
listened
'He said something about being a
free man now!"
YES, he looked as eager as a ter
rier after rats"
"He knows what ne is doing. He
sees so far ahead of what we are
thinking that it's useless to guess his
object. Well understand when it's
done"
How little side he has! So per-
fectly simple. He hardly seems to
realize the immensely of his success.
In fact, none Of us realizes it; it's too
enormous, overwhelming, student"
And no nerves."
Of course, they guessed nothing of
Marta's part in his success. The very
things they were saying about him
built up a figure of the type whose
character she had keenly resented a
few minutes before.
But, Miss Galland. you seem to
know him far better than we. This is
not news to you," remarked the bril-
gade commander.

The Last Shot.

The Last Shot.
Miss Galland!"
Blinking as she came out of the
darkness into the bright light, with
a lock Of her dew-sprinkled dark hair
free and brushing her flushed cheek.
Marta saw the division chiefs OF the
Browns, after their start when Ian
stron spoke her name. all stand at
the salute, looking at her rather than
at him. The reality in the flesh OF
the woman who had been a comrade
in service, sacrificing her sensibilities
for their cause, appealed to them as
a true likeness of their conceptions of
her. In their eyes she might read the
finest thing that can pass from mans
to woman's or from mans to mans.
These were the strong men Of her peo-
pie who had driven the burglar from
her house with the sword of justice.
Their tribute had the steadfast loyalty
of soldiers who were craving to do
anything in the world that she might
ask, whether to go on their knees to
her or to kill dragons for her.
IL may come in?" she asked.
"Who If not you is entitled to the
privilege of the staff council?" ex-
claimed the vice-chief.

him do all the honors. Each muir.
INJURED words of welcome on his own
account.
1--WE are here, thanks to you!"
"And, thanks to you, our flag will
float over the Gray range!"
She must be tired, was their next
thought. Four or five of them hurried
to place a chair for her, the vice-chief
winning over his rivals, more through
the exercise of the rights of rank than
by any superior alacrity.

S POLITENESS AN ASSET IN
WOOlNG WOMEN?

Kiss me as If you entered gay
My heart at some MONDAY;
A bud that dares not disallow
The claim, so all is rendered up.
Those who mix and mingle with
many men have fair way OF
Judging the part which politeness
plays in wooing women. The polite
spoken man may have less apparent
advantages than the man who was
born with a golden spoon in his
mouth, having hard time to edge his
way into the society of young women.
But when once he obtains an intro
duction which he has desired for some
time he makes his way clear, for he
is pretty well trained for conflict and
victory.
He is the kind of man who wants
his young hostess to know that he
likes to drop in, without any formal
ity. to her house and enjoy nice
little chat without fuss or putting her
out in the least Her little brothers
and sisters may rush pell nell into
the room where they are sitting, their
noises deafening and embarrassing
her. Politely, he comes to the res
cue by declaring with laugh that
carries convictions: "Let the dear
children have fun and frolics! Moth
ing suits me better. 1t carries me
back to my own mischievous child
hood. Ifeel like romping with them"
From that evening his polite tact
has won him place in that home as
favorite second to no other conner.
