IS GREAT FOE OF FATIGUE
Excellent Properties Of Sugar Should

If we all understand the proper
duty and function of sugar, we should
probably be a healthier nation. The
trouble with sugar is that most of US
eat it In such a way and at such a
time that 1t spells our appetite for
more substantial food.
But sugar, In spite Of all the harm
that 1t does when eaten In excess,
should be recognized rs one Of the
greatest helps In counteracting IA
tigue. Sweet and milk chocolate are
supplied literally to the soldiers-as
much for the sugar as for the choco-

are given to them. And some women,

"Of course; glad enough to have
you," answered Freeman.
Gloria received the proposition Ian
guidly, but consented to be taken
along. When they arrived at the
courthouse they entered Judge Free
mans room. He donned his judicial
robe and they followed him to the
bench, where chairs were placed for
them on either side of him. Every
body In the courtroom rose as the
Judge entered and then sat down with
him to the banquet Of justice. Gloria
sat at his left, and frequently he
leaned toward her, explaining a case
or answering a question.
She became at once another Gloria,

Now the chief had attacked the only

had given the credit for the battle
to Doctor Royce. The young chief
was ia danger Of unconsciously de-

He lowered his eyes before her, and
then spoke suddenly: ut is too cold
for you. I'll get your furs."
He tried to lead her inside. She re-
fused. There seemed nothing for him
to do but leave her there and go for
her wraps.
She stared at the crowd, then on sud-
den impulse ran down the steps TO a
policeman standing on the walk. Tim
idly she tapped him on the arm. 1.-The
man who just went by SC hurriedly-
he was poorly dressed, had a SLOUGH
hat and a beard, did you see which
way he went?" she asked.
The policeman pointed to the right
and Gloria started Immediately to run
that way. The streets were i'll lit and
poor, but she hurried on with hardly
a glance at her surroundings. To lose
the real murderer now was unthink-
able to her; to have had him there in
the very arms of the law, the man
whom she had seen actually do her
lover to death, only to have him es-
cape again, drove her into a frenzy.
She ran on, peering into dark door
ways and alleys. Judge Freeman,
whom she had watched all evening
mete out punishment to far lesser
crimes, had actually made no effort to
catch this demon for her. What was
the mystery of it all? Why were they
all in league to thwart her and to re-
fuse vengeance on Dicks slayer?
Her brain was whirling, her search
ing eyes ached and burned as they
peered vainly ahead for the dread fig
ure of the tramp. So absorbed vas
Gloria in her pursuit that she gave
no thought to the dangers she was
exposing herself to, and the dangers
were many. 1t was a bad district, a
very hotbed of crime and poverty.
The hour was midnight and she was
alone-a young and beautiful woman
carrying money and jewels, as well
as her own priceless girlhood, but the
impetus of her search carried her on
without a thought for her own safety.
Doctor Royce and her father had
returned with her wraps to the court
house steps only to find her gone, and
wild with anxiety, they started reck-
lessly in pursuit, each taking a differ
ent direction. BY misfortune neither
Of them was right.
Meanwhile Gloria FASTENED on. She
actually caught a glimpse Of the tramp
ahead of her; he was lettering in a
doorway gnawing a crust Of bread
hungrily, and she redoubled her speed,
but he started on and turned the cor
ner Of a street while she was in the
middle of a block and when she got
there he was nowhere In sight.
Suddenly she realized she was tired
and weak, that she could actually go
no farther, and that she must rest. AS
she slackened her pace she was
alarmed at seeing a rough-loOking
man cross the street toward her; he
reeled as he came IN, so that she was
further aroused to danger at thinking
him under the influence Of liquor.
She did not know that this was of
the numerous lodges Of the pickpocket
and that she would have been safer
with an actually intoxicated man. She
looked up and down the street as far
as she could see. but there were no
policemen in sight, and, hearing steps

One evening while the two old men

He found Gloria in a deeper lethargy
than usual. He c~udgelled his brains
to think up something to interest her,
but without success until the Judge

Pushkin's daughter

Eventually Pus h kin s
