CHAPTER XVI.
The Greed Of Gail.

Who was that tall, severely correct
gentleman waiting at the station. with
a bunch OF violets in his hand, and the
light In his countenance which was
never on sea or land? II was Gerald
Fosland, and he astonished all be-
holders by his extraordinary conduct.
As the beautiful Arly stepped through
the gates. he advanced with an en-.
tirely unrepressed smile. springing
from the balls OF his feet with a buoy
ancy too active to be quite in good
form. He took Arly's hand in his. but
he did not bend over II with his Gus
tomary courteous gallantry. Instead.
he drew her slightly towards him,
with firm and deliberate movement,
and, bending his head sidewise under
the brim of her hat, kissed her;
kissed her on the lips!
Immediately thereafter he gave a
dignihed welcome to Gail, and with
Arly's arm clutched tightly in his own,
he then disappeared. AS they walked
rapidly away, Arly looked up at him
in bewilderment; then she suddenly
hugged herself closer to him with
jerk. AS they went out through the
carriage entrance, she skipped.
It was good to see Allison, big,
strong, forceful, typical OF the city and
its mighty deeds. His eye had lighted
with something more than pleasure as
Gail stepped out through the gates of
the station; something so infinitely
more than pleasure that her eyes
dropped and her hand trembled as
she felt that same old warm thrill Of
his clasp. He wa1 so overwhelming in
his physical dominance. He took i'm

by while she greeted her uncle and

Gail had laughed as she recognized
that attitude. Allison was really a
big man, one born to command, TO
sway things, TO move and shift and re-
arrange great forces; and that. Of
course, was his manner In everything.
She flushed each time she looked in
his direction; for he never removed
his gaze from her; bold, confident, su.
preme. When a man like that is kind
and gentle and considerate, when he
is tender and thoughtful and full of
devotion, he is big man indeed!
Rev. Smith Boyd was at the steps OF
the Sargent house to greet her, and
her heart leaped as she recognized
another Of the dear familiar faces.

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind of
food to At the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and / think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
'The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond OF Grape-Nuts ana mas
been much improved in health since
using 1t.
we are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishmeni The
children showed It. SO ! urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.

The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia.
1t declares that alcohol is the hand
maiden of the disease which pro-
duces ten per cent of the deaths in
the United States. This is no ex-
aggeration. We have known for
a long time that indulgence in al
coholic liquors lowers the individ-
ual vitality, and that the man who
drinks is peculiarly susceptible to
pneumonia. The United States
Public Health Services is con-
sentative body. 1t does not en-
gage in alarmist propaganda. In
following out the line of-its official
duties it has brought forcefully to
the general public a fact which
will bear endless repetition. The
liberal and continuous user of al
coholiG drinks will do we'll to heed
this warning, particularly at this
season of the year when the grue
some death toll from pneumonia
is being doubled.

Health in this neck of the woods

the soil.
Winter has winged its way, and
gentle spring-time sits on the
throne. The sun has crossed
the Equator on his northern jour
ney, and has so warmed mother
Earth until she shows signs CT

up in every nook and corner. The
trees of the forest protrude their
buds. The grass shines forth as
green carpet. Ere long we'll
be standing in land of flowers,
such as Ponce deLeon witnessed
on that Easter morn long ago.
The touring birds of the South

almost split their little threats.

today they repose in the city of
the dead. So again, we are made
to realize the fact, that at least
some hearts are even now melting
into tears. 1t matters not where
we go-let it be to Poplar, Salem
or elsewhere, we see the vacant
seat of some mother, or if it is
filled, it's by new made orphan
