SECRETS OF HEALTH

rather meditative reply. But

TELL THESE AT
DINNER

Mr.. Wormeley was one Of those
little men who always paid every
attention to his wife without ever
getting a cents worth of her re-
gard in return. He waited on her
hand and foot, and was always
buying her little presents Of any
thing he thought would please
her. But somehow his wife SEEM
ed to take no pleasure in his COM
pany, and was always out at
dances, much to her husbands
dismay.
mo wonder Edith won't look at
you at ALL" said a woman friend
to Mr.. Wormeley one day when
he was looking particularly fed
up. Its your own fault. You
act like a slave, always at her
beck and call and going on with
her as if you hardly dared call
your soul your own"
But don't women like that kind
of thing" inquired the sad little
Wormeley.

The young man was very free
with his opinions about other peo-
ple and things in general, but that
was about all he was free with.
He was going to the station, which
was about two miles away, and so
he got a man to carry his bag for
him.
When they reached the little
country station he put his hand
in his pocket and gave the man
a whole nickel.
Notwithstanding the forlorn
look on the mans face he still
continued to chat in an affable
manner to the man as he waited
for the train to come in.

At the Abbey.
Philip had taken UP his abode
with number Of young men who
managed a clubhouse for them
selves known as the Abbey.
They were exceptionally nice
fellows, young doctors, dentists,
lawyers, college youths cutting
their eye-teeth in the business
world. There was no hard and
fast set rules governing the club,
no definite requirements for mem
bership, yet fine spirit of good.
fellowship prevailed. Philip grew
thoroughly to enjoy his life at
the Abbey. There were great
round tables in the basement din
ing-room about which the talk
swept fast and with some bril-.
lance. There were pleasant ban
ter and ready laughter, too, in
the lounging room upstairs,
where card game was generally
in progress, or someone would be
knocking the balls about the bill
lard table. In a corner stood an
array of new magazines, and a
mechanical piano contributed. too
readily, a syncopated jangle to
the general hum and babble.
There was always someone with
whom to talk, always something
to read, always quiet and solitude
to be found in ones own room.
On Sundays Philip made a point
of dining with Lucy and Wilbur
at the Pleasanton Hotel. The
chef made a supreme effort on
this particular evening, and the
results Of his exertions were care
fully chronicled in type on a gilt,
embossed menu card. The guests
OF the hotel dressed formally on
this occasion, but Wilbur, Philip
and a few other men declined to
conform to the custom. They
said it was putting on a lot OF
unnecessary dog" and refused
to be parties to such futile osten-
tation. Lucy, on the other hand,
took great delight in wearing her
prettiest frocks. She loved the
brief lull in the murmur of voices,
the slight craning of necks, the
sibilant whispers which followed
her entrance into the dining room.
She was beautiful, there was no
denying the fact. and Philip was
proud of the mild sensation her
radiant loveliness infailibly created.

x much interested in the
~ new home they had be-

half after their marriage. and
which was now fast approaching
completion. Situated far out on
Washington street. 1t commanded
q fine view Of the Preside, the
bay, and the bumped purple shout
der of Tamalpais. Wilbur had
bought the lot for practically moth
ing at a foreclosure sale, and the
house was to be of clinkered brick,
with dark-stained redwood trim
n1ings and G. gabled roof. Philip
had no idea how he managed to
afford 80 pretentious a home. He
frequently found occasion to won
der where the money came from
that Wilbur spent so freely. He
knew it was not drawn out Of the
business. All profits, commissions
and so forth went back into the
firms exchequer to be used as
working capital. The partners
paid themselves three hundred dol
lars a month, bat there was never

bur did not overdraw his account
BY more than twice this sum. Once
q year he paid it all back in a lump.
His brother-in.l law had a score OF
irons in the fire about which Philip
knew little. Every proposition
that attracted Lansing contained a
big element of chance: the bigger
the gamble the keener his interest.
Some months after his marriage
he had tried to persuade Philip to
Join him in the purchase Of an as
paragus island in the Sacramento
river. The deal involved one hun
dred and seventy thousand dollars.
Philip refused; the figures fright
ened him. But Wilbur had gone
ahead, borrowed money from Cald-
er, borrowed money from the bank,
persuaded the manager of the
Pleasanton to lend him a couple
OF thousand, and, carrying a tre-
mendeus mortgage, he had bought
the island, to sell it triumphantly
in less than a month for nearly
twenty thousand dollars more than
he paid for it, Besides real estate,
he dabbled in stocks, financed a
cafe out on the beach, took shares

market a patented gas burner, a

Of his methods. "Some Of these
