 Twelve years before the story opens, Rosalie. the beautiful daughter of the American multi-millionaire, Reuben Van derpoel made a supposedly brilliant mar .riage with Sir Nigel Anstruthers and went with him to live at the ancestral estate at Stornham Court in England. Sir Nigel, who had wasted his fortune in a career of riotous dissipation, mulcts his wife of all the money her father gives her, and adds insult to injury by mal- treating her and leaving her with her son in the neglected castle and rundown grounds of the estate, while he returns to his old vicious life on the Continent.

 And he is right. He is a rare specimen. He is one of the luckiest fel- lows alive.
 But how many other friends have stopped you during the past year to describe the accidents some minor and some merely painful, others more serious that be- fell them? They will scarcely be numbered on the fingers of two hands.
 Yet accident IS a comparatively rare oc- currence. Nothing at all to compare with the ire quency of illness or d in ary illness, you know, that brings a man down with a cold, or a fever, or indigestion, etc.
 You think it almost inevitable that you will be sick at home at least ONCE during a whole year. You EXPECT it.
 Are you provided with protection that will give you a steady in come when you DO fall i'll or suffer accident? Will your bills be paid, as usual? Or will debts pile up to worry your. wife and keep you from rapid recovery?

Appointment Saturday of a receiv-
ership for the East Coast Fisheries
Co. points a moral, and perhaps sew
eral of them in an unexpected direc-
tion. This company sold its product
direct to a subsidiary, the East
Coast Fisheries Products Co., who.
in turn, disposed of 1t to retailers
in"several Atlantic Coast cities not
tied up with the wholesale Fish
Dealers Association. Sales were
made on cash and carry basis. The
selling company received four to
hve cents per pound. A year ago di-
rectors of'the company said the buy
ers were charging consumers forty
to forty five cents per pound for
these fish. Officers and directors
alike took such time as they
could to visit the retailers personally
and argued with them the necessity
of reducing their profits in order to
create an increased market. Their
efforts were fruitless. As in many
other lines, these retailers believed
that the public would continue to
pay exorbitant prices for necessities
The result of this attitude of the
retailers is the appointment of re-
ceiver 1dst week.
