After a moment I hurried from

weekend at Dreamwold, she flung
out Of the arbor and raced up the
path to the house. For a moment
or two sat without moving. let
the still darkness bathe my hot
cheeks.
After a while I got up and
wearily climbed to the house. Me-
chanically made my preparations
for the night and crept into bed.
I tried to think Of Betty and the
possibility of making my friendship
useful to her. I struggled to puz-
xle over Carlotta and the probable
cost to her of Betty's need Of Tony.

sentful against life and its power
to hurt.
In the morning Hedwig brought
me q message from Virginia, ask
ing me to come to her room for my
good-by. This meant that Virginia
was still unwilling to break into
her mood Of grief over Bettys
tragedy and therefore defined hos
pitality toward Rosa's guests.
You don't feel that I owed it to
you to come downstairs and meet
the insufferable Cordova's more
insufferable dancing mem" asked
Virginia, in a tone demanding that
I answer as she wished.
II don't blamt you a Bit"
replied, trying to hide my annoy
ance at the selfishness which had
left the burden Of hospitality to
me who had as much reason to
grieve over Betty as Virginia could
claim.
Virginia sensed the note Of re-
serve in my voice, and catching
my hand in hers laid 1t against
my cheek with an impulslve ges-
tu that was very young and
sweet.
I'm a bruter' she cried, half
Ia uyhing, half resentful. But

But when he got out to the
driveway and the waiting cars,
Mr.. Parkinson innoCcntly blum

Mr.. Stone, his eyes narrowing ap-

"Oh, might l and be welcome"
asked Park, with such boyish
friendliness that Pat responded at
once with a cordial invitation.

car in which Carlotta had already

WHEN GERMS
JAZZ
BY Brice Belden, NJ. D.

TN a general way may say
that the poisons thrown off
Il by germs in the course OF
their growth either depress or ex-
hilarate us. These poisons are
known as toxins.
Some of our well.known pessl-
mists are persons who have been
poisoned in this way. A mans
view of life or religion may be
determined or at least Colored by
toxic influences. 1t used to be
said that man revealed himself
to his true character when
drunk; we don't know anything
about that, but we think the best
way to size man up would be
to catch him when detoxiCated,
that is, when most free from
toxins.
A dose of castor oil or calomel
may convert n gloomy philoso-
ther into noble huma manitarian.
No doubt many of the splendid
souls who give so largely 10 others
Of their fine spirits are persons
whose detoxicating mechanisms
are naturally very efficient; hence
their cheerfulness, courage, etc.
ENeTClSe anu lne uTlIlhlIlB VI
much water are great detoxicating
measures. Through exercise we
increase our oxygen intake
nightly, and this effects n more
rapid burning up of toxins.
Through the drinking Of much
water we dilute the toxins and
hasten their elimination.
The colon bacillus toxin, ema-
mating from the large intestine,
plays large part in causing
physical and mental depression,
fatigue, etc. 1t has been said
that the bacteria of these people
speak for them, and that II is
only their microbes talking when
they express cynical thoughts.
The exhilarating toxins which
are especially noteworthy, are
those of tuberculosis, paresis, and
tyrhoid in its earliest stages.
Now, a proper state of health
is one in which there is no germ
iazz. We don't envy the exhila-
rated persons, and we don't want
to be gloomy philosophers, even
IL celebrated.

there was an exhilaration about

Gated her and made life an ecstasy,

It needed but the thought that
she was about to lose him to make

face to face.
Upon the evening when Mary
learned all this she went into her
chamber very early and closed the
door. No one interrupted her
until Jane went in to robe her
for the night. and to retire. She
then found that Mary had robed
herself and was lying in bed with
her head covered, apparently
asleep. Jane quietly prepared to
retire, and lay down in her own
bed. The girls usually shared
one couch. but during Mary's ILL.,
temper she had forced Jane to
sleep alone.
After a short silence Jane
heard a sob from the other bed,
then another, and another.

asked.

gently put her arms about her
neck.

pered Mary, shyly confessing all
by her question.
"I do not know" responded
Jane, "but he will see you be-
fore he goes"
do you believe he will?"
"I know IT," and with this con-
ISOLATION Mary softly wept her
self to s,eep.
After this. for few days, Mary
was quiet enough. Her irritable
mood had vanished. but Jane
could see that she was on the

Mary Was Angry.
The real cause Of Brandon's
manner had never occurred to
Mary. Although she knew her
beauty and power, as she could not
help but know it-not as a mat
ter Of vanity. but as a matter of
fact-yet love had blinded her
where Brandon was concerned. and
that knowledge failed to give her
light as to his motives, however
brightly it might illumine the con.
duct Of other men toward whom
she was Indifferent.

Brandon in a Dilemma.
Poor Brandon sat down upon a
stone, and, as he longingly watched
her retiring form. wished in his
heart he were dead. This was the
first time he really knew how much
he loved the girl. and he saw that,
with him at least, 1t was a matter
OF bad to worse; and at that rate
would soon be-worst.
Now that he had unintentionally
offended her. and had permitted
her to go without an explanation,
she was dearer to him than ever,
and, as he sat there with his face
in his hands, he knew that If mat
ters went on as they were going, the
time would soon come when he
would throw caution to the dogs
and would try the impossible-to
win her for his own.
Caution and Judgment still sat
enthroned, and they told him now
