could not und .rstand 1t. Her mother

rance or dlsrespect. Mother" simply
didn't fit her; she was Jennie" with

W. always felt, and s. was referred

peevish, and judging by your tone one

Well Beauty is getting restless, and
that young reporter on the Star" Ted

he promptly assisted the Angel to the
seat beside him.
The picnic was gay enough except
that the Beauty and Ted Hammer did
not appear; and Jennie was undeni-
ably nervous, laughing Historically at
the Angels sallies. and watching Dan
closely.
Dan was having a good time; there
was no denying that when he dared
the Angel TO run him a race to a GER
tain crooked tree far around the bend
OF the pond. He outran her shame
lcssly and stood laughing hat in hand
as she staggered up. Selling a dead
branch, she bore down on him while
he doged off and around the tree, say
ing. Now, Angel, don't, really; you
just can't run, that is ALL" and, his

"All right fire away; but I'll tell you
now you will get no sympathy from
me. I'm not to blame for her run

you she would not have gone"
"Oh, yes, you are to blame, Angel"
She listened; had he said Angel?
1t didn't sound like it, but that was
surely what he had said. You sure

That sugar helps TO ward off fatigue
is the belief of many authorities. Con.

acts rapidly, its full effects being tels
about two hours after taking.
Countless experiments have demon.
strated beyond doubt that sugar mas
remarkable sustaining power when
eaten by those undergoing great Ia.
tigue.
Scientific experiments carried Oh.
with the aid of the ergograph-an in
strument for registering accurately
variations Of muscular power-show
that sugar gives an increase in phys
ical power ranging from to rs per
cent.
One of the first observers to draw
attention to this virtue of sugar was
u physician who lived in Newcastle,
England.
1t is not known, however, who In.
vented or discovered sugar. 1t has
been known since the dawn of mis-.
tory, but not in all countries.
The invention of the first process >
for refining sugar is ascribed to the
Arabs and u Venetian merchant is
said TO have purchased the secret
from them and introduced the process
into Sicily.
The over use of sugar, however, is
a great cause of i'll health, especially
among people who do not get enough

harmful when eaten in concentrated
forms SIIch aS caudies
One reason why sugar has a hlgL
food value is that it is readily utilized
for combustion, and il taken between
