The question q shaped in Kate

took bore in as II there were soma

The man had been too tall for
Sing 10y. It wasn't Sing Loy's voice
either.
When she reached her room, Kate
hastened TO the window, hoping that
she might catch sight of the two.
She leaned far out. The street was
quite deserted.
For possibly 90 minutes she paced
the floor trying to arrive at some
conclusion. She believed Alice was
concealing something. Finally she
made decision and then retired.
Kate Ward slept peacefully that
night-slept as IL great burden had
been lifted from her mind.
She rose in the morning refreshed.
The sun was shining brightly. The
air was soft. Kate felt almost happy
as she stepped out on the street. If
the cloud which shadowed her love
for Dan could just be lifted II it

to live out her days true to her
dream Of the one great love for every

up the stone steps into the corridor

Nature exacts a penalty; but she also
has wisely provided relief, especially
for the ailments of the human system

of ailments, Nature endowed certain
herbs. seeds, banks and leaves with
laxative properties. Early settlers, de-
pendent entirely upon Nature, used the
extracts from these plants to relieve
and correct constipated conditions.
