uniformed hallboy and Il man who
sat at the telephone switchboard. In

this afternoon"
I'll admit, Rem, that she has rea-
son to believe that In Washington
certain diplomats have contracted the
habit Of watching you from the cor

I'm sorry" Rennison muttered.
A slowly ascending elevator took
them to the sixth floor OF the build

they passed along the little hall. A

bell.

visitors waited in silence. StorroW

heard the soft click of the latch. Rem
nison dropped we'll back of his COM
panion and kept close to the wall.
The door was opened only a few
inches.

feminine voice. II thought you were
going to tho Guilford affair. Come
The sound Of the voice Indicated the
speaker was leaving the door.
Come. Rem" storrow said over his
small, dimly lighted hall.
AS Rennison followed he saw the

closed by Storrow. A light now fash

her. Hating in the doorway. he said
Miriam, / have taken the liberty OF

Warburton, permit me to introduce to
you Capt. Rennison."
Not until his name was spoken did
the Army officer, still in the entrance

through the doorway now, he saw
her, standing beside a table which
she was touching with her finger
tips. Some of the color left Een<
nison's face as he admitted to him
self that rarely had he seen . woman
so beautiful.
1t was plain that she had not ex-
pected the visit of a stranger. She
wore a pink silken kimono, which.
parting little above the ankles, re-
coat and pair of bare feet thrust
into dainty pink slippers trimmed
with white fur.
Slightly above medium height, she
now stood erect Her wide, lustrous
dark eyes were alight with surprise
and growing resentment as she fast
ened their gaze on the Army officer.
Her exquisitely nodded face was
strangely pale, the pallor being en-

which. drawn back from her fore
head. fell in a long. thick braid be-
hind her.
Rennison noted darkening shadows

under her flashing eyes, then bis gaze
fell to her lips and chin. AS he re-
flected on the description given by
Johnson OF the chin and lips OF the
woman who had introduced herself
as the wife of Enderbrook. he saw
that the lips of Miriam Warburton
were full "and somewhat poutish."
Earlier in the day they might have
been red, but now they appeared to
be almost white. He noted, too, q
dimple in her chin.
AS Rennison bowed gravely, Miss
Warburton. who appeared to be about
twenty-six years of age. drew closer
over her full bosom the flmy kimono
that she wore, and. by the action,
brought into fuller relief tho charm :
ing lines OF figure that had excited
admiration in many European draw
ing rooms as we'll as on the stage.
For several moments. as Rennison
continued to regard his hostess, she
returned his gaze. Slowly the sur
prise and resentment left her eyes.
He saw a little convulsive moyen ent
of the hand that held the kimono at
her throat, then her lips parted and
she smiled.
There now flashed into the mind OF
the young Army officer the knowl-
edge that the nature of the woman
was about to be subordinated to the
art of the actress.

as he picked up the cane. but he made
no comment. When he and Rennison

EDUCATION AND TAXATION

Before the State Board of Educa-
ton attempts to solve the tax prob
lem, by having the assessments made
by school districts, instead OF by
counties, 1t may be we'll for it to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
public that it is managing the edu-
cational system efficiently. There
was too great a percentage of fall
ures at the June examinations for the
people to accept without proof a
claim that our grammar and high
schools are being efficiently conduct
ed.
However, there is admittedly an
urgent need for reforms in our sys-
tenn Of taxation, and suggestions
from any source will be welcomed,
though it is quite apparent that any
attempt at changes that will jeopar-
die the sinecure jobs of e~ighty-four
members of county tax boards, and
half as many clerks, will be strong
ly opposed; and there will be even
stronger opposition made against any
attempt to change the basis of ap-
%portioning the State school moneys.

Gov. siIzer on the Stnmn

Governor Silzer's splendid work
for State highway reform and his ac-
ton last September in forcing the
Public Service Railway Company to
end its strike and u service
were surely accomplishments that
were worth while and that prove the
people made a good Investment when
they elected George Sebastian Sill
ger governor last year.
But to that good record of perfor-
mances Silzer has added a new stunt
in the way of legerdemain and nom
performance. He has gone about the
State and delivered fourteen speech
es without saying anything.
If the Republican leaders had not
been so vulnerable and were not
themselves walking on eggs they
could have had a pile of fun with
the lequacious but non-committal
governor, whose candidacy for the
Democratic vice presidential nomi-
nation next year has suddenly caus-
ed him to drop specific programs
and deal exclusively in ge~neralities.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
Muscle Building

We are able to control the volun-
tary muscles, like the biceps, the
large muscle of the front upper arm
or that in the lower leg or calf. The
muscles of the shoulders, back and
neck, as we'll as certain ones of the
face and jaw, are also under our
control to a great extent.
Involuntary muscles control the
action of the heart, stomach and dia-
phragm. over these we have no con-
troll or direct action. We can only
supply them with blood and nerve
force through proper hygienic living
and the right kinds of food.
In building up muscle tissue you
have to consider two principal &C
lions. First, supplying the energy
through proper food; and, second, in
the proper exercising or use of mus
cles, to produce a healthy growth of
tissue. Without a proper amount of
use, your muscles will become flabby
and almost useless.
The carbohydrates (starch and
sugar. form a substance in the body
called glucose. This is used up by
the contracting muscles. The fat
foods are also muscle producers.
In exercising and stimulating
your muscles for growth and
strength, you must use caution.
Never severely tire or strain your
muscles to the limit. When you feel
the pull at the bullying part of a
muscle you know it is growing-so
to speak.
The muscle-fber, nerve-fiber, and
nerve-cell form a connecting link.
Should a nerve be injured or crushed
between the muscle and the spinal
n%erye-cell from which its hbers come,
or II the nerve-cells are destroyed by
disease, the muscle will become a
useless mass of connective tissue.
