DOWN the village street rode the Lady Godiva.
on a snow-white horse. with no other cover
ing save her flowing hair. Her hard-hearted
husband, to whom she appealed for mercy
toward the villagers had commanded the act to
test her sincerity. If she made the ride he would
lower the tax rate. A wonderful story, proving
woman's devotion to an ideal. What shame
to have to break the news to the suffragists that
Leofric, Earl of the Mercians, Lady Godiva's
husband. was fine. merciful old gentleman, and
that the whole story is legend. Moreover, the
part about Peeping Tom, the only vilager who
looked, and who was struck blind for his act, was
added to the legend hundred years later.

WHY Is man and woman, half

dent, worried; some days head
achy, dull and unstrung; some
days really incapacitated by ill
ness.
If we all would practice the
drinking Of phosphated hot water
before breakfast, what a crafty
ing change would take place. In
stead Of thousands Of half-sick,
anaemic-looking souls with pasty,
muddy compilations we should see
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The
reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day OF all
the waste it accumulates under
our present mode Of living. For
every ounce of food and drink
taken into the system nearly an
ounce Of waste material must be
carried out, else it ferments and
forms ptomaine-like poisons in
the bowels which are absorbed
into the blood.

FOURTH EPISODE
The Earthquake.

Since the luminous hands and eyes
had appeared in the corner Of Leon
tines room for the second time, Sc
bastian had ceased to persecute her.
Ostensibly they lived amicably to-
gether, yet Sebastians heart was for
ever filed with gnawing jealousy of
the dead Jerry, who still, as he well
knew, possessed the soul of the woman
who was his wife in name alone.
He had expected that the deadlock
Of this difficult situation would be
broken long before. But the phenome-
non of the burning eyes, which Sebas-
tian attributed to the supernatural,
had shocked and stunned him. Then
he had been terrified by the sudden
appearance Of One Lamp Louie, alias
Louis Lamb, his confederate in crime.
Another thing that had frightened
him was the appearance Of the mystic
rlous stranger, Ravengar. Sebastian

felt instinctively that Ravengar's en-
trance into his life BODIED evil for him.
Finally, there was Louies strange
disappearance. Sebastian knew that the
fellow had not persisted in the fire.
It was nearly four months after
Louie's disappearance when Sebastian,
passing behind his wife's chair as Lee
ontine sat reading the newspaper,
found himself staring into a photo
graphic reproduction Of Louie's face.
Underneath the photograph was title

Whites Village, Western Canada, who
had been made millionaire in a day
by the discovery of gold on claim
which he had staked out on noun

siderable part of the mOuntainside, I'M

drained, doubtless, from a mother lode
Of incalculable richness somewhere In

Sebastian stared at the photograph
in silence.

Sebastian noted the movement.

well that's he, and staked him to

He left her abruptly, and, returning
to his own room, began to pace to and
fro restlessly, planning for the future.
He would end Louie's reputation. He
would tcrrify the little man, If not into
sharing his wealth, at any rate into
promise never to see him again.
With the fear of Lamb gone, he could
concentrate his mind upon the win
