Some female troubles may through
neglect reach stage when an opera
ton is necessary. But most Of the
commoner ailments are not the sur
gical ones; they are not caused by
serious displacements, tumors, or
growths, although the symptoms
may appear the same.
When disturb ing ailments first ap-

ent distress and prevent more seri-
ous troubles. Many letters have been

262 pieces of Maryland marble, and

The ceremonies attending the place

Salt and Dampness.

Salt is what is called "hygrosco-
pic" that Is, 1t eagerly absorbs mois-
ture. In fact, both air and salt are
absorbents Of moisture and 1t Is a
contest between them as to which
gets It. Results depend on atmos.
pheric conditions. Ordinary atmos.
phere always contains a proportion
of moisture, and warm air Is apt to
be more humid than cold, as 1t ab.
serbs and. holds water yapor more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture, that under such
conditions 1t draws It from the air.
When the air becomes dry, the mois-
ture Is given up by the salt which In
turn becomes dry as It returns the
moisture to the air.

one Of the sharpest and ugliest Of the
descending preciplces, crashing down
through the saplings and underbrush
and striking the trunks of score Of
trees on Its way, the heavy car had
fallen like boulder. And Peter saw
that 1t was Allx's car, and with great
cry he sprang over the bank and, slip
ping and stumbling, followed Its mad
course down almost to the dry creek
bed In the canyon, and fell on his
knees beside the huddled figure that,
erect and strong, in Its striped blue
gingham, had been Alix only few
short minutes ago.
She had been flung clear of the car.
and although every bone in her body
was broken. by some miracle the face,
except for deep cut where the brown
hair met the tanned forehead, was un.
touched. And as he caught her In his
arms and bent over her with the bit
terness of death stopping his own
heart, soft, thick braid loosened and
fell like the touch Of her hand upon
his own, and II seemed to him that in
the tranquil face and In the very look
of the closed and fast -shadowing eye
lids he caught glimpse Of Alix's old
smile.
Peter forgot everything else In the
world. He held her close to him and
put his face against her face, and per-
haps she had never so truly been his
own as in this moment Of their part
ang, when the quiet autumn woodland,
shot with long shafts from the sinking
sun, rang with his bitter cry:
"No, Alix-not dead! My wife
my wifei"
There were other men and women
gathering fast now. and the whole lit.
tie valley was beginning to ring with
the tragedy. After while some sym.
pathetic man touched Peter on the
arm to say that Mrs. Lloyd had
tainted, and that II he would please

Peter reused himself, and with help
from half dozen hands on all sides
he carried Alix up to the road and
aaid her upon a motor robe that some
kindly spectator had spread in the
deep dust. F
Presently he was conscious that
small, slight woman with dlsorderly
fair hair and with her face streaked
with dust and tears was standing be-
side him, and looking down at her,
he saw that 1t was Cherry.
"Yes, Cherry7" he said, moistening

They said good-by to her at the

who had loved her, and Peter and
two or three men alone followed her
down along the winding road that led
to the old cemetery. Cherry was
hanging over the bedside Of her hus-
band. who still mlraculously fingered
through hours Of pain, but as Peter,
responsive to a touch on his arm,
crossed the church porch to blindly
enter the waiting motor car, he saw,

his felt hat held In his hands, Kow,
claiming his right to stand beside the
grave Of the mistress he had loved

blue, the clear shadows on brown
grass under the oaks, all these were
familiar. But Peter still looked dazed-
ly at his black cuff and at the turned
earth next to the doctors headstone,
telling himself again that this was for
Alix. How often he had seen her sit

and sweet, as she talked lovingly,
