CHAPTER XIV.

Francis Manners felt that he had
played his last card and shot his
last bolt. and that Diana definitely
wished to be rid OF him. He was
like a man who, having exhausted
himself with frenzied effort to save
has house from burning to the
ground. perceives that the building
resigns himself to it's loss, and
upon the instant turns Stole.
He had a certain sense of release
He had fought for the right He
had been beaten. He was sorry
that wrong had prevailed, but was
glad that the war was over. and
that the rehabilitation would soon
be effected. He had taken arms
against a sea OF troubles; since
he could not end them. let them end
him.
II was not without a synical
amusement that he remembered
the business he had undertaken.
He had promised Diana to furnish
her with the only grounds upon
which in the State OF New York

us give him the range. He should
not be made to conform closely TO

Philip himself drove Calligan to

For a moment Calligan was sorely

in the shaded light in her black

Philip laughed.

Calligan's honest eyes met his
squarely.
'Perhaps-for both" he said.
He got into the carriage, let the
window down at his set and look ed
out.

hated going. He hated the memory

Hay Fever
By Brice Relden. NJ. ID.

"AY fever is a periodic sffec-
ton occurring about the
time OF the hay harvest in
the late summer and early fall 1t
is a common disease and effects
both children and adults. Parox-
ysms of sneezing are characteristics.
The symptoms of hay fever be-
gin with those OF the common cold
in the head with blocked nasal pas
sages and sneezinR. There may also
be a cough and in some cases asth-
matte attacks occur.
The symptoms of the disease are
In some cases so distressing and
cause the patient so much misery
that he becomes depressed and mel
ancholy.
Pollen from the plant called rag
weed is the cause OF much hay
fever. The weed grows in vacant
lots and other neglected and uncul-
tivated areas particularly. 1t
flowers during the period between
August and October and for the
sake Of those prone to hay fever
should be cut down before the
Towering time whenever possible,
as this is the time when the pollen
is distributed.
II is now possible, by means OF a
simple skin test, to determine the
particular pollen to which the vic
tim OF hay fever has become sensi-
tized. and also to prevent the dis
ease in many cases by the injection
of an extract made from the pollen
found to be responsible for the at
tack.
The preventive treatment should
be started at least a month before
the expected onset OF the disease.
1t is customary to give an injec-
ton every three days until fifteen
doses have been administered.
The only drawback to this treat
ment is that it has to be repeated
every "ear, as the protection II
givea& SITS for only one season.

w spondent, what is called

lecturers tell us that in order to be
healthy even adults should drink at
least a pint OF milk. Yet our town
is full OF healthy folks who do not
drink milk at all For instance,
there is Mr.. s He lie the picture
OF health and strength and he
frankly admits that he has a real
grown-up mans dietary and he
leaves milk for babies. VIII you
express an opinion on this?"
You say that Mr.. S. is the LECTURE
OF health and strength. But is he
really healthy Are his .eeth sound
and in good condition. Is he
vigorous and energetic? Is his
digestion good? These conditions
cannot always be judged by APP
pearance. But granting that he
really is healthy, after a careful
examination by a physician. how
may we account for his health on
a non-milk diet?
often an adult believing he has
a non-milk diet forgets that he has
just a little milk on his cereal, and
just a little in his coffee, and a
little more in his cocoanut custard
pie, and some more in his chocolate
pudding and yet some more in the
ice cream, OF which he is so fond.
Granting, however. that he eats
nothing containing milk. he may
still be in good health. For. IL the
water which he drinks in his par
ticular neighborhood happens to
be hard" he will get a little limo
from 1t and this will supplement
what he really gets from a general
mixed diet. Lime keeps his teeth

Not even Fem knew that the
break with Manners was aImost as
tragic to her as 1t was to him
1t is probable that intellectually
she could not have offered one
single solitary excuse for what she
had done. And 1t Is probable that
in her heart her love for Fem was
neither an excuse nor . 1ustinca-
ton. She may be likened to an
average deecnt-minded human be-
ing who at last. under stress of
torture, consents to commit crime
Some characters, as the history of

THE OBSERVING
WOMAN

The Woman has discovered at
least one way for an elevator opera
tor to get an occasional puff at the
forbidden cigarette while on duty.
She works on the top floor of
twelve-story office building. When
she stepped into the elevator the
other day, the operator, after taking
a puff carefully tucked his lighted
cigarette in a small niche where the
elevator frame meets the floor, in
the hope that he would again reach
the twelfth floor before II went out.
She hopes IL didn't go out.
