butterflies after all. saw a man and a
woman"
Not really" said Collingeford. "who?"
Alan Wayne and Dora Tennel"
At Alan's name Collingeford's face lit
up with interest. Ten Percent Wayne
eh? Yes, you're right He's man. And
Dora Tenncl, eX-Lady Braeme. Yes, she's
a woman. too-in way"
Has she tarnished reputation"
Collingeford stopped short in his stride
and looked keeny at Alix. MY dear
lady, he said that Is n question one
does not put to man. However, it
doesn't embarrass me to answer IL in
this case. She has not. What on earth
put 1t into your head?'
Il don't know" said AliX. "Oh. YES.
do. | remember. Some one told me
once that Alan surrounded himself with
tarnished regulations"
Each followed the train OF his own
thoughts until they reached the pier, Ally
did not get out OF the cab. She leaned
from the window and said good-by Col
linEeford held her hand and her eyes
long, then he turned away and hurried
into the elevator.
When AliX got home she sat down and
wrote note to Alan-iust line to
tell him that she was ready and wished
noon.
At first he was a little awkward
straining just the least too much not to
betray his nervousness. But the sight
of AliX put him at his ease Once it
had been with a fine art that she had
pampered the ill-at-ease into well-being
but as Alan crossed the room and stood
before her he knew that art had been
ban!shed and that new AlX, simple
and secure in the unassailable atmos-
phere that guards true women held out
her hand to him from beyond some in
visible barrier. She had become a true
woman-true in the sense of honor-and
she was tempered as steel. but soft with
the softness of motherhood. About her
there was the peace of an inner shrine.
She drew him into It unhesitatingly and
he suddenly felt unclean just as he had
felt unworthy on that other day when
he had recoiled from Nance's loving
arms around his neck.
You're not looking very well, Alan"
said Alix when he was seated.
mo. I'm not on the top of the wave
just now" replied Alan. Touch of river
fever. It's like memory-a hard thing to
shake"
I'm not trying to shake mine" said
Alix calmly. "My memories have made
me-"
mo wonder you don't quarrel with
them" said Alan in frank admiration.
Life" said AliX, ''is beginning TO pay
dividends-not much just competence.
Enough to live on" She smiled family

"Since August, 1914, the press OF the

OVEREATING A GLORIOUS THING
FOR DOCTORS AND UNDERWRITERS
By WILLIAM A. BRADY, M. D.

ITO HAVE a good appetite and be a
i competent "table-cleaner" is the pop
ular sign of good health. Yet overeating
is a grand thing for us doctors,
One who eats more than he can metab-
olize or burn up is likely TO experience
one or more OF the following effects: Con-
stipation. administration, billousness,
stomach trouble, gas" fiatulency, that
tired feeling, drowsiness, laziness, grad
ual development OF obesity, liver COM
plant, irritability and divorce. Nobody
loves fat man; even his own wife just
tolerates him.
Along toward IS or 40 overeating be-
gins TO get in its work on the body. BY
this time ones habits are becoming tiXed
ones opinions are becoming set, and II Is
hard TO change ones mind about any
thing so vital as the daily bread. one
eats, say, one slice of bread more than
one really needs each day. and on this
system gains about 20 pounds in weight
each year.
One feels mean and out OF sorts a
Few hours after the indulgence, and
attributes the indisposition to hunger;
so one tackles a big dinner. and sure
enough one feels fine for an hour or two
after eating. Food in excess is some-
