Arthur Gaylord, Superintendent c.
h. & T. r. r.:
Dear Gay: The bearer. Miss Helen
Holmes, wants work. Anything you
can do will be appreciated. r."
Though her resolution had been
taken, it. seemed to require all of
Helens courage to make the actual
start on the path she had chosen. She
reached the superintendent Office at
Beaman next day, after wandering all
over the yards to find 1t, almost fright
ened out of her undertaking.
Gaylord, the superintendent, met
her with a consideration that dis
PEELED her fears. In a few words he
spoke feelingly of her father, and after
asking what she would like to try,
gave her a note to the agent at Sig
nal station, assigning her for cleri-
cal work due to the cutoff construc-
ton, already under way there.
George Storm, the freight engineer,
had not seen Helen since the funeral
of her father-which he had lain off
to attend-nor had he heard OF her.
He was east-bound at Beaman one
morning, comparing orders with his
conductor, when he saw Helen in her
severely plain black about to board
the local passenger train which was
to take her to Signal to begin work.
The engineer FASTENED to her. She
met his utter astonishment-when she
had told him what she was doing and
why-without embarrassment or con-
fusion, only laughing a little at his
concern.
But when, questioning her further,
Storm learned of the cutoff opera
tons, now begun-not alone by the
Tidewater people, but as well by their
rivals-the Colorado & Coast line
his suspicious were aroused and he
disclosed them to Helen without re-
serve. THAT Colorado & Coast crowd
are running our people hot
race on the cutoff construction.
They know something about that
original survey-they must-or they
would never start in SO far"
Helen smiled incredulously. Il
think that could hardly be, Mr. Storm.
You know the men building now

yelled himself hoarse trying to warn
him off. But instead of stopping.
Storm fought his way back through
the smoke to the second car. The
trainmen FASTENED into the station
to the operator and gave the alarm.
The operator telephoned a message
instantly to Signal, the next station.
The agent had gone over to the
camp, and 1t was this message that
caught Helen at Signal, alone In the
office. She picked up the receiver as
the telephone bell rang, listened to
the excited operator and wrote his
hurried words down on a pad:
Runaway powder cars on fire. En-
gineer Storm on them. Ditch at first
spur"
She dropped her pencil as she fin
ished, breathless with shock. Then
pulling her wits together she cast
about for help. She was quite alone.

SAYS BODY IS A
POISON FACTORY
Urges everyone to drink glass oi
hot water before
breakfast

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are found and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in 1t to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin. so
