CHAPTER TX.

In spite of the weight of apprehen-
sion that pressed upon the Silent City,
Polly's soul insisted on singing with
gladness. She found opportunity, even
in the midst Of her busy hours, to live
over and over the adventures of that
evening In the Robertson house. When
she remembered how Robert had held
her in his arms, her happiness made
her almost faint.
She allowed Jerry's gingham blouse
to fall neglected In her lap, as in imag-
ination she dwelt on every incident Of
her visit. She recalled the thrilling
tenderness in Roberts words, and her
face grew soft in delightful revery.
A sound at the door brought her
thoughts back and she glanced up,
startled. Unnoticed, the blouse
dropped to the floor us Evelyn Robert
son came In. Embarrassed and In ST.
Rlence, Pollyop arose and offered her
a chair.
"You amt feeling well, l bet" she
burst out. wiping the dust from the
rope seat Of the rocker with her skirt.
"You look white like the moon does
before rain. Go on, an sit DOWN.
Sinking back, Evelyn looked stead
lily up at her. Then she caught at the
hand resting on her shoulder.
"Pollyop, I've come to you because
you're the only friend have" she ex-
claimed, tears misting her eyes.
I'm awful glad you come to me-"
Polly breathed softly. "You want me
to run to Oscar again7 I can't stand
the sight of that duffer, but I'll 60 just
the same. Have you got letterY
Wiping her eyes, Evelyn shook her
head.
"No, but Oscar wants to see you,"
she replied. She paused and studied
the girl. Polly" she continued,

for your people? There's way, Pol
lyop, that you can"
Impulsively Polly could not wait.
"Do you mean help Daddy Hopkins

says he'll free me if-lf-youll marry

For an instant Polly's head whirled
as if 1t had been suddenly struck and
over her came weight almost unbear-
able. Then slowly she shook her curly
head.
Il couldn't do that. ma'am," she
choked. II just couldn't"

Evelyn sharply. You must. l can

"An' Oscar'll be goin' away some

had 1t on the tip of her tongue to add
the name Of Robert Percival, but of
course she did not.

"Never, never!"
The blue eyes looked into the brown
eyes seriously.
"Oh, yes, you can," insisted Miss
Robertson. Oscars not the worst In
the world, and he'll have a lot OF
money VIXEN he leaves Ithaca. He
loves you, Pollyop, and he'd make life
easy and pleasant for you"

while Polly Hopkins gazed at her
hands locked together In her lap.

through the open doorway her eyes
were fixed upon a fleecy cloud, high
up in the deep blue sky. "But that
don't make no difference" she contin-
ued. "If linked up with Oscar, would

stay in the Silent City?'

Fiercely he drew her head against
him; and the silence that followed was

Oscar did not stand in her way, how
quickly she would give this man the
happiness he craved and drink deep OF

"When, my love?" breathed Marcus
thickly, caressing her. "When, dear?'
Gravely she lifted her head and
looked into his eyes for few seconds
"When you buy the Bennett farm,

"And get rid Of the squatters too

"And get rid Of the squatters too

softly and whispered, "My sweet
heart!"
A moment later she moved to re-
lease herself and with another kiss he
let her go. Then he smiled whimsl
cally.

Judgment of Christ.

The judgment of Christ. the Son Of
Man, is the revelation Of things as
they are. His judgment does not
change the judged; 1t simply shows
them. 1t is not, as far as we can con-
ceive, conclusion drawn from the
balancing of conflicting elements or a
verdict upon general issue. The
Judgment Of God is the perfect mani
festation of truth. The punishment of
God is the necessary action of the
awakened conscience. The Judgment
is pronounced by the sinner himself

cal profession, the number of deaths
from infectious diseases has been re-
duced tremendously in the LAST TWO
decades. Tuberculosis is being com
batted more successfully each year,
and typhoid fever is rapidly becoming
a rare disease. The actual figures
which measure the decrease in deaths
from these two diseases are taken
from the United States mortality sta
tistics and show the number OF deaths
per 100000 population was reduced as
follows:
Typhoid fever, from Lhirty-five IN
1900 to nine in 1919.
tuberculosis, from POP in 1900 to
125 in 1919.
So individually your chances of es-

diseases are constantly increasing.

to buy you a longer life. There is in

must be applied to be effective. Your
life could probably be heightened
somewhat by a yearly health survey

IT is a matter of great encourage
ment that the annual number of
deaths has decreased in the last forty
years from almost twenty per 1000 po-

per cent This reduction is still CON
tinuing, and with it your chances of

most certain, it is wise to build as if

How mortality figures are obtained.
registered, classified and analyzed is
an interesting story that we we will
tell some day in a special article.
From the mortality statistics ac-
cumulated in this country we are in a
position to estimate the AVERAGE
duration of the life for any large group
OF individuals, all the members of
which have already reached a certain
age, for example:
If you are O Is a old you
should live to be sos years of age.
If you are now 25 years old you
should live to be 63.8 years of e
If you are now 35 years old you
should live to be 66.7 years of age.
If you are now As years old you
should live to be 69.5 years of age.
If you are now IS years old you
should live to be 72.5 years of aga.
II o are now So years old you
should live to be $50 years of age
If you are now rs years old YOU
should live to be S1.2 years of age.
Unless you are engaged in q haz-
ardous occupation your chances of liv-
ing longer than the average sges
shown above are becoming better ev-

resulting directly from our modern
