For many years Gilbert Ramsey had
followed the teaching profession. Many
times his thoughts had wandered to h
outside, active world of business and
many times he had laid his plans to
embark upon the voyage which he be-
lieved would would bring him to wealth
and power.
Each time, however, his departure
was deferred. For fourteen years in
succession the little coliege in which he
held the chair of mathematics increased
his salary. The increase was small,
true, but it was enough TO enable him to
lay aside a little more each year., TO-
ward the day when he would enter the
business maelstrom and joust with his
fellows.
A little girl was born to him and
his wife, Martha. She filled their home
all his affection. In turn he was her
hero. To him she fastened when he
came from his classroom. Apparently
fcrgetful of her mother, her thoughts
were only of Daddy when he APP

she. He was 1.-THE one who read her
Bedtime Story" He was more her
big brother than her father,
II was a home of happiness for Ell
bert Ramsey. He thought only Of the
present and Of his family-of what he
was going to do for his little daughter
and his wife when he entered the busi-
ness arena.
But suddenly all was changed. Ebert
Ramsey fell i'll. For years he had stuck
too closely to his books. He had neg
lected to take exercise. He had failed
to get the portion or sunlight and air
which should have been his. His i'll
ness vas not apparent at first. but
nevertheless he was sick. He felt u
strangeness growing up between him-
self and the rest of the world. His
love for his family did not diminish, but
he lost the power OF expressing it.
He was irritable in the classroom-in-
creasingly so. He sharply reprimanded
without cause the son of he newly
elected president Of the college. The
father called upon Prof. Ramsey and
and after a bitter quarrel rendered his
resignation. 1t was accepted.
Ramsey regretted his action the
moment it was taken, but pride
prevented his admitting his error and
apologizing. He boosted to his wife
that now he was through with the col;
lege forever. and could do as he had
planned to do for many years.
That night Ramsey slept blu fitfully
and arose the next morning a nervous
wreck. A sense of depression shad-
owed him, He was unable to read, he
was unable to play with his little girl.
He vas unable to concentrate his
thoughts. So 1t continued. Day after
day he sat b%rooding, only occasionally
stirring from the house. On one brief
ramble which he took into the town he
met an old college mate and fellow pro-
lessor, who was amazed at the change
In Ramsey's appearance.
He gtDnned Ramsey Though the lat
ter would have passed him by.
Good heavens, old feilow, what's the
matter?" he asked.
Ramsey mumbled a reply and started
to walk on, but his fellow professor
grabbed him by the arm n swung
him about.
Let me see you tongue" was the
demand that Ramsey, puzzled but ODE
dent, obeyed.

nation. Take Pepsinol." v |
WHAT calculated Ramsey.
Take Pepsinol. Go right into the
drug store here and get a bottle OF Pep
sinol. Go home and take a dose. That
will fix you up, I'll be over to see you
tomorrow"
Ramsey, almost in a daze, obeyed. He
took the Pepsinol when he retired, ex-
awoke in the morning refreshed. Short
ly after he arose his bowels were gently
moved. He was once more able to con
centrate his thoughts. A duh headache
and pain in the eyes which he had hac
for many days disappeared.
After a hearty breakfast he played fol-
some time with his daughter, the frs
time in two weeks. He chatted cheer.

hearty greeting, much different from
that Of the day before.
