action was due to pure sullen spite
boyish, in a way, because she had
been late with dinner.
Yet it seemed to typify everything
all the years of crushed romance and
sentiment, and the lack of them in
her brothers nature. She turned
without a word and went back to the
kitchen. And later in the afternoon
alone in the house, she sat upstairs
in her own room that looked across
the river, watching Cary's red chin

little money, and there was about

sat in a draft and caught cold" the
chances are that nothing Of the kind
took place. What probably happened
is this: You remained too long in a
stuffy, ill-ventilated room and then
put yourself in a current Of moving
air. The body was not equal to the
sudden stress and strain, because in
discretions had already weakened its
vitality and resistance. A cold was
the result.
Colds are caused by germs, but you
have to keep your body up to top
notch efficiency in order TO avoid this
common winter ailment.
0ver-indulgence and lack of care
are prime factors in the catching Of
colds.
Good habits ward off colds nd other
winter ailments.
Cold germs like to hide in decayed
teeth. The tonsils and tie crannics
of the nose are other favorite lolfing
places. When everything is ripe for
an attack the germs get irto the sye-
TEN and cause sickness.
Sometimes we catch colds from get
ting in close contact with those who
are sick with colds. Other times We
catch them from ourselves.

temperature from warm to cold, IL a
factor in inviting colds.
But offices and homes must not be
overheated, If we are to escape colds

with the belief back in her heart that
he would never stay behind. that he
would follow her. And instead, they
had both lived on there, with her
words between them. She had cared
for mother and father. Then Luke
had needed her. There was nothing
else to do but stay on looking at the
valley day after day and doing her
duty.
And now, at last, the barrier had
fallen for Cary. He had sold out, and
was going away. She saw Luke and
the hired men coming slowly down
from the hill pastures where they had
been stacking cornstalks, and realiz.
ed she was delaying dinner. When
they came up the house she was in
the kitchen, and Luke, after one
glance at the half set table, grumbled.
She heard him go outdoors again, but
paid no attention until she went to
the door to call him, fifteen min.
utes later. He had been cutting out
some dead canes from the bushes
along the side wall and pulling up
dried flower stems. But all Dorcas
saw was an emptied tub tossed over
the paling fence and scattered earth
with some day lilies on the ground.
"Why-Luke-" she faltered. What
are you doing to my lillies?"
Il needed the tub" said Luke CURLY.
