Dan Failing stepped out Of the ele-

the crowd that ever surged up and
down Broad street. He was just one

chemical combination to be studied

because Of the exceeding spareness Of
his frame. As long as he remained
In the crowd, he wasn't important
enough to be studied. But soon he
turned OFF, through the park. and
straightway found himself alone.
The noise and hustle Of the crowd
never loud or startling, but SO contin-
u0us that the senses are scarcely
more aware Of them than Of the beat

utterly died almost at the very border
Of the park. The noise from the

in order to cover up the shortage he
had to be continually on the job.
John D. Martin. Smiths counsel,
read copy OF Smiths confession to
tile court in his plea for leniency. The
confession says:
II, Alex V. Smith OF Raleigh, Tenn.

came to the United States when Twas

"The strain Of my situation has, OF

possibly half dozen pairs Of SPUR

wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one of these SPUR
rels was perched on wide-spreading

slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with a

He could even hear the leaves whisk-

man can discern this. he can hear the

never heard a mountain lion. Except
on the railroad tracks between, he
had never really been away from

At once his thought went back to
the doctors words. They were still
repeating themselves over and over
In his ears, and the doctors face was
still before his eyes. It had been d
kind face; the lips had even curled In
a little smile Of encouragement. But
the doctor had been perfectly frank,

There was the situation: Dan Fail

began to wonder whether his mother
had been entirely wise In her effort to
keep him from the trough games" of
the boys Of his own age. He realized
now that he had been an underweight
all his life-that the frailty that had
thrust him to the edge Of the grave
had begun In his earliest boyhood. But
1t wasn't that he was born with ply
steal handicaps. He had weighed a

told his father that a sturdier little
chap was not to be found In any ma

Spread Of Bathing In Europe.

Bathing came to Europe as one Of
the good results Of the Crusades. The
Knights Of the Cross found baths In
general use among the Sarscens, and
seeing what good things they were,
ON returning from those wars took the
initiative for their introduction. In
this they were highly successful first
in England and from that to other
countries. SO popular did the bath be-
come that It became customary to have
one before ceremonies such as mar
riage or knighthood, and the people
have been ever since learning the value
Of keeping their skins clean.
