Indoor Life Makes Fat
Try Oil of Korein to Keep Weight Down, or to Reduce Super x

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh i1;vigorating air and exercise must take precaution to guard against over-stoutness, as fat acquired by in door life is unhealthy and ga danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to weaken the oxygen carrying power of the blood so that it is unable to pro- duce strong muscles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and un- healthy fat is the result.
 If you are 15 or 20 pounds above normal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are con- carrying this excess burden.

DUDE 0F SING SING
 MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Complains Of Illness and Disap-
 pears While Resting on Roadside

New York, July 25.-Three automo- an alumnus and another by an active member of the Mutual Welfare Lea gue-spent yesterday afternoon racing over the hills of Westchester County hunting for Ernest Le Ford, who escaped from his keepers at noon. Early this morning the cylin-
 ders of the autom obiles were still hot and Le Ford was still at liberty.
 Le Ford Is known as "the dude of Sing Sing" He has served parts of four terms ins prison but between sen-
 tences has found time to play society, and it's jewelry, for all it is worth. and to act as Mrs. Alfred G. Wander
 bilt's chauffeur. Despite his prison garb, there has always been an un- disguised air of jauntiness about him. True to his reputation as a Beau Brummel, when he left Sing Sing yes- terday to work with a score of fel- low prisoners on the highway near Mount Kisco, Le Ford wore natty tan
 shoes, silk hose and silk shirt be- I heath his rough convict's jumper. Some makeup for road work" another inmate called to him. "All have" Le Ford laughed back. Toward noon Le Ford fell ill-des- perately ill. He confided his misfor- tune to Officer Way, in charge of the road workers, who suggested that he sit on a stone at the roadside to re- 1 cuperate. Le Ford accepted the sug- l gestion gratefully.
 When, five minutes later, Way | glanced casually over his shoulder, he 1 saw that the stone was still visible, 1 but that Le Ford was not He had quietly slipped away into a world where persons don't poke fun at silk 1 shirts and nattv tan shoes.

possessed her. She felt no pains. How was
that possible after such horrible tortures? Had
she really suffered all that torment, and then
sunk into deep, dark abyss in which all con-
seriousness was snuffed out?
What had they done to her? She remem-
bered a sweetish somewhat repellent odor and
a voice which warned her, Breathe Deep
Then she had breathed deep-eyer deeper, be-
cause that relieved her suffering. How beauti
fully she had slept Yet there something
else She had had some other experience.
She tried to recall it. Yes, now she heard
again Karl's voice, the voice of her husband.
He had stood close beside her and smiled and
said Fine, little one; perfectly fne!" as he
had always said when she had done something
which greatly pleased him.
1t seemed to her as if in this dream she had
received something inexpressby precious. She
enjoyed the happiness which it gave her-a
happiness whose effects, like those of warm.
ouickening drink she could feel even to her
finger tips. She sought to recall what else had
happened to her in the dream, but it all slipped
away from her. She retained only the vague
impression of some wonderful happening,
quiet radiant feeling Of self-content.
Linda slowly opened her lids. But she had
to close them at once, for the whole room was
filed with a warm yellow light She blinked
her eyes, turned her head, and sought to look
around without moving too much, for OF that
she had an instructive dread.
Her mother-in-law, the Baroness, sat in an
easy chair beside her. Before her, on a small
table, stood basket, covered with white lace
yelling. The old lady had been overcome by
sleep. To Linda her face with the closed eye
lids, seemed much aged. In repose it looked
pale and haggard The hair, ordinarily care
fully arranged, hung in loose, wide strands
over the cheeks. The head was sunk on the
breast, nodding lightly to and fro.
The picture moved the young wife strangely.
Tears rose to her eyes. How many nights had
the old lady spent there For always when

there on the black iron gate Of the marble
chapel. The father gazed long at them,
stroked them with his hand so that the leaves
and the ribbons rustled. The heads of the
daughters were bent under their heavy crepe,
and tears wetted their checks.
But the mother sat by Linda's bedside. She
had not been even once to see the laurel

patience.
On Christmas Eve, when the thin peal of
the bells in the village church tower sounded
through the cold, still air, heralding peace
on earth which no longer existed, scurrying
steps and lights gave the second story of the
castle an unwonted air of animation. Lanterns
cleaned in the courtyard; a rider hurried
away on trot through the village street.

desperate combat--in bitter anguish.
LET me die! Have pity! Let me die!
Dearest take me with you Take me to you!"
So they heard Linda's voice echoing in agony
against the ancient walls. The two step
daughters, who we're both chldess, watched
with the father. They smiled at him, talked
of the little feet which would again toddle
through the corridors, of the little fists which
would gather buttercups for grandpapa. But
the longer the time ran on the weaker was the
hope that the battle which was being fought
in the darkened room would end in victory.
Next morning just as the window panes
were being Redeemed by the rising sun. the
door suddenly opened and the old Baroness ap-
peared in her black dress, with her white hair
dishevelled and her face glowing with excite
ment. She cried aloud: "a boy-a splendid
boy!" Then she threw herself on her hus-
bands neck and wept.
Linda had slept for many hours. Now she
had awakened; yet could not yet decide to open
her eyes, lest she should interrupt that won
derful sensation of physical wellbeing which
