The infantry is now interesting itself
especially in patrols. All the men
who have not had this experience are
ea1er to try their hand and some OF
them have asked to be assigned to thls

thar the men are learning more OF the
science of war by their short stay In
the trenches than is possible to gain
a months OF training in other ways
The artillery. in addition to the
{ actual firing, is acquiring most valuable
experience in observation work and To-

at targets nearer the lines.

NINTH EPISODE
The Shadow Of Scandal

Pitiful fate played on Gloria. She
had ordered her wedding gown while
she was dangerously Ill. But now her
bridegroom would not appear. The
newspapers said that he was drowned
in the lower bay. She believed she had
seen him throttled to death on River
side drive, and her mourning was en-
uttered with doubt.
At such an incongruous moment the
httle bridal gown came home from the
tlressmaker's to torture her with Its
beauty and Its futile intent. Gloria was
in her bedroom, looking out Of her
window at the fateful monument be-
low, living over again the scene Of the
murder.
With the pathetic droop Of her head,
and her arms hanging ut her sides, and
the long lines of her gown sweeping
about her inert, almost lifeless form,
she stood like a Tanagra figure of
grief. Poor little soul, she was just
entering the real world Of womanhood
when the grim arms Of tragedy Unfold
ed heri 1t was her first great sorrow,
Her old nurse came toward her.
Gloria moved. gave q little moan of
horror, and ran to put her head on the
nurses breast, sobbing out her pent-up
agony.

But Stafford continued ~inexorably +:

II you want to protect Freneau's, you

Gloria was convinced, at least for
the moment. She nodded her head In
obedience, kissed her fathers cheek,
patted him absent-mindedly, and left
him. But NICE alone again she burned
with resentment at the plan to shield
the murderer Of her lover. She re
spected her fathers dread of publicity
and she shared his hatred Of publicity

mand for justice. She realized, how
ever, that she would have no help now
In her hunt for the murderer. But

Meanwhile Lois, In her own passion
ate way, was suffering also, but her
suffering was tinged with a certain
amount of horrible satisfaction. Death,
instead of Gloria, had taken Freneau
from her. Gloria could not claim one

NEW DISEASE is ANNOUNCED
From the Strain Of Working Too Hard
Comes angina Of Effort"
a Pain. f,

The rush Of modern life has pro-
duced q new disease, greatly increasing
in extent and especially prevalent
among doctors, teachers, clergymen,
lawyers and other men of affairs, OBJ
serves the Philadelphia Bulletin.
DR.. Oliver s. Haines, who announced
the new ailment, calls 1t angina of
effort" In plain English that means
a sudden shooting pain under your
breastbone because you're working too
hard.
If, at the age of so, you find your
self unable to walk a city block with
out a pain, you probably have "angina
of effort 1t comes from having lived
too hard and sometimes from an IAN.
t~agonistic attitude toward the prob
lens of life."
No happy-go-lucky aver gets It.
Those who have been obsessed by love
of power, love Of struggle, or who
harbor exaggerated ideas Of their
rights and privileges usually do.
Everybody who gets "angina Of effort"
dies a sudden death, usually ascribed
to gastritis, according to DR.. Haines.
Deadly, corked up venom, brought
on by mental conflict with the prevail
ing ideas, becomes a toxin, he says,
which gives rise to a pain that radi-
ates into every part of the body. Neu-
ralgia, rheumatism and similar aches
may be symptoms Of 1t.
You can best be cured by slowing
down, DR.. Haines thinks, and by modi.
flying the war spirit which. he says,
you carry into every day life. If you
don't slow down. you're doomed

In her chair to glance earelessly over
the paper.
Almost Immediately her eyes lighted
on the headlines announcing her sons
death, with a hint Of suicide. The
shock of the news almost killed the
mother; for she was old and Dick was
her only child and she knew only the
good side of him. The evil that he
wrought in the world was mercifully
kept from her.
The maid, hearing her moan, ran
out Of the house and summoned the
doctor who vas caring for her. He saw
that her disease was the incurable one
that mothers are often prey to, the
loss Of their children. There was nc
remedy for this In the doctors books
and the only help he could give was

Thus 1t was that Gloria was de

chief enemies were those who loved

they could to thwart her. When she
