Auto-intoxication can be best
Ascribed to our own neglect or
carelessness. When the organs fail
in the discharge of their duties,
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fill ones own body.
Sleepiness after meals, flushing
of the face, extreme lassitude, bill
iousness, dizziness, sick headache,
acidity of the stomach, heartburn,
offensive breath, anemia, loss of
weight and muscular power, de-
crease of vitality or lowering of
resistance to infectious diseases,
disturbance of the eye, dyspepsia,
indigestion, gastritis, many forms
of catarrh, asthma, ear affections
and allied ailments result from
auto-intoxication orself-poisoning.
Take castor oil, or procure at
the drug store, a pleasant vege-
table laxative, called DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, composed of
May-apple, aloes and jalap.

Clay had saved nothing against the
rainy season. He had found his salary
too small for his courtship requisites
now that his salary was halved his
courtship had to be reduced to the
minimum Of expense.
Bayard and Leila had more money
to spend, and. they made ambitious
voyages. But Daphne and Clay must
swelter with the other stay-at-hOme
millions. Clay denied himself even the
two weeks vacation allotted to him.

man!
When the car reached her building
she was resolved to see Duane no
more. She could not tell him so. After
all, he had been everything that was

But when she was in her room she
tore his card to pieces-after she had
looked at it. She stared at her image
in the mirror. She hated what she saw

CHAPTER XIV.

Then the Chivvises came back from
their vacation Unexpectedly early. They
had found the hotels expensive and
Mr.. Chivvis was afraid that his job
would be snatched from him If he
were not there to hold it down.
Clay called on Daphne that evening
and the Chivvises retreated to their
own room. But as they could be over.
heard it was evident that they could
Overhear, and the lovers found nc
chance to say any of atfe%things that
frightened their; souls.
One evening Daphne said to Clay in
as low voice as he could hear: "Mrs
Chivvis is growing uneasy, honey

she didn't seem convinced. Perhaps
you would let me wear that beautiful
engagement ring again. I was q fool
to give it back to you: May have it

Clay blenched in misery. "rI'm
afraid 7 You see, I hadn't paid
much on it; and last week had an in.
sulting letter from the jeweler. He
threatened to sue me and notify my
firm, and I-well, had to send ii
back"
He was so downcast that. she an
swered with mock cheer: ooh, that's
all right, honey; it doesn't matter
After all, it's only ring. And we
have each other"
"But we haven't each other. This
way of living is driving me crazy. I'll
be all right as soon as these hard
times are over and can make some
commissions. But it's so dismal to
wait. Couldn't we get married and
live on my salary?"
81 could If you could"
He caught her in his arms SO VIC
lently that she squealed.
The next day Clay telephoned to her
his firm had just offered him the
choice of accepting half his salary OF
turning in his resignation. It was
really impossible for two to live on
half of what was hardly enough for
one.
Daphne cried a long while in her
room. She got out her list of ways to
earn fifty thousand dollars again and
cried over that.
There is much foolish and futile pro-
test against the nowadays woman who
goes into business outside her home.
But the fact is that it is her business
that began 1t. Her business left the
home first and she is merely following
it to the places where new conditions
and inventions have centralized and
mechanical it.
New conditions have taken her
dlstaff and her washtub and her cook
cry and gossip into the wooden mills
and steam laundries and restaurants
and telephone exchanges. She has had
to go thither to do her necessary work.
Even the entertainers, the singers,
dancers, tellers of stories, who used
to stir the seragliOs and the castle
halls have been gathered into opera
houses and theaters and into vaude-
vile and moving picture palaces.
Daphne, having no gifts for spin
ming, cooking, or laundry, tried the
theater. Her Old-fashiOned lover pro-

Leila Had Decided That 1t Was Better
for Her Health to Stay at Newport
Till the Cooler Weather Came and
Her Summer Wardrobe Had Been
Worn Out.
Leila off to Newport, where they
boarded humbly, IL extensively.
While they were gone, at their sug-
gestion, Daphne moved down into
their apartment. 1t was large and
beautiful, and, as Clay said, it was
mot infested with Chivvises."
Now and then Clay quarreled with
Daphne because of her obstinate de-
termination to have a trade Of her
own. Then they made up. And quar-
relied anew-lovers' Quarrels, summer
storms that break the sultry tension
Of the air and make peace endurable.
Bayard came back alone Leila
had decided that it was better for
her health to stay at Newport till
the cooler weather came and her
summer wardrobe had been worn out.
So Bayard joined the army Of
town-tied husbands, the summer wild
overs. He went back once week
on furlough to spend Newport Sab
bath with his wife. He became one
of the Friday-night-to-Mo nday-morn-
ing excursionists. There was leisure
enough in his Office.
He insisted on Daphne's keeping
her room in his apartment, and Of
evenings he affixed himself to her
and Clay and made their company a
crowd. But they welcomed him as q
chaperon of q sort. Also, he paid his
way with liberality, except for Occa-
sional spasms of retrenchment, when
he economical atrociously. He pre-
dicted that good times would never
come again. The whole world had
gone to pot and would never come
out.
Suddenly he changed his tune; sud-
denly the whisper went about that
hard times were ending.
In his bachelor days, when Bayard
was growing in commercial stature
like a young giant, he had regarded
his business with all the warmth Of
a poet. His Office building was his
Acropolis and his Office the peculiar
temple of his muse; and her name
was Profit. He thrilled like a poet
to the epic inspiration of big sale,
