~ while she waited for him and she
began to feel that she had put herself
In a wrong light. When Duane ar
rived and the maid showed him Into
the living room Daphne tried to re-
deem herself by a buslnesslike direct
ness.
Mr.. Duane, you must think 1t very
peculiar of me to drag you up here

"YOu say that before you hear what
I'm going to ask you. Pm going to
ask you to do me a tremendous ia

That will be doing me a tremen-
dOus favor" he said.
Then she amazed him with her re-
quest: you offered yesterday-of
course l know you didn't mean it-but
you offered to get me a job with a
theatrical manager"
Duane's hospitable smile hardened
into a grimace of anxiety. He num-
bled. "Oh, yes"

"Tll make him."
"HOw a l ever repay your"
Her hand went out to him and he
took II and squeezed 1t, and 1t
squeezed back gratefully. But he did
not let go. Duane seemed to be ex-
cited suddenly.
Daphne drew her hand back, but his
came with it, and he followed close
upon. There was a look in his eyes
that made her uneasy. His voice was
uncertain as he said:
"You can repay me easily enough,

%anxiously, not quite daring to wrench.
her hand free.
"By-by being-by being kind to
me-"
kind? HOw?"
He did not answer with words. but
he lifted her hand with both of his
to his lips. 1t was an act of old
tangled %gallantry that could hardly
be resented. But, manlike, having
made a formal surrender, he tried to
take command. One hand held hers.
the other swept round her shoulders
and pressed her against him, without
roughness yet with strength. His lips
moved now, not toward her hand, but
toward the sacredness of her mouth.

Impress Left BY Romans.

The old Romans and still older
Celts have left their traces thickly
strewn In the place-names of the coun-
try through which the victorious al
lied armies advanced during the latter
part of the war. Valenciennes was
named after the Roman emperor, VAL
.entinian, Just as Orleans was named
after Emperor Aurelian. The mark of
the Celt is seen In the dun, or fortress,
of the ever-famous Verdun, and,
though now contracted out Of exist
ence, in the towering old city of Laon,
the stronghold of the MerovIngians.
The River Mouse, perhaps the river
most connected with war, has the most

to take a trip In his plane. The motor
star accepted. He vas somewhat new
at flying then, and also dubious. But a
director of flying is supposed to fly.
"Want to do a few stunts?" asked
the officer. when De Palma was safely
strapped In. "A nice question !" COM
mented De Palma. afterward. "There
was only one answer-we did them! !"
Service Was Brief.
De Palma's service In aviation a
brief, as he enlisted a couple of months
before the war ended. But 1t lasted
long enough to give him a w~ell-rOunded
experience In flying, both In the stunts

SUCCESS OF RURAL ROUTES
Important Factors Which Must Be

There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner In the field Of rural mo,
tor transportation. These four fac
tors are: U) The volume Of farm
products produced along tie contem-
plated route; t2) the Soltf me Of mis-

compel tion from other carriers which
would be encountered; az the charac-
ter of The highways over which the
trucks must run. It may safely be
said that the features mentioned
above will ultimately determine the
success or failure Of any rural route.

Blood Pressure
WHAT IT is.

BY blood pressure is meant the
pressure exertcd by the blood on the
walls OF the vessels in which II is
flowing.
The contraction of the heart supplies
the energy which pumps the blood into
the arteries, in which the pressure is
maintained by the elasticity of the
vessel walls.
An estimation OF the blood pressure
takes only a few minutes and affords
most valuable Information along va
rious lines
a blood pressure determination is a
routine procedure in the first cxami-
nation of every patient. In every ex-
animation Of the circulatory apparatus
IT plays "A part In cases of kidney

mated by occasionally measuring the

The posture of the body has some
