LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CAR
TON.

After you read this letter, old man
you will probably take the Santa f.
Limited, come back and put bulle,
through me. And / am not sure
that would blame you.
You see, | have Inadvertently got
ten you so mixed up in my affairs
that now it is impossible to separate
you from them without running my
self, and self preservation is the
first law of nature, my boy, even if
hat preservation is done at the eX,
pense CT your friends.
wroe you the other day that
tn bought Leslie was beginning to
tn nix you were the father of little
Jack. l have now come to the con-
clusion that she feels sure of it.
She not only is sure Of that, but
she is obsessed with the idea that
putting the baby in front Of our door
when she was too i'll to know any
thing about it was something you
and had planned, and l helped you
carry it out because Of our long
friendship.
Say Sgd, that old fellow who said:
ooh what tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
certa My told the world something.
/ don't know why Leslie is not
jealous of Paula Perier. She has
certainly heard what the people are
saying about me in the affair, for
everyone in town has been filling her
up with gossip.
This seems to have no effect upon
her whatsoever. No one can shake

WHEN YOU HUNGER

Do feel irritable and aggressive when you need food
Most people do especially temperamens AS
they satisfy the cravings of the stomach they relax and
feel at peace with the world.
All this is inherited from ancient times when in
the animal state not far removed from it. Nature made
animals and primitive aggressive and wrathfu when
they needed food they'd be melted to go into the
jungle and kill
Hunger appeased, they relaxed became drowsy-naure
again asserting her cunning by making them want to lie
down and doze giving the stomach unrestricted blood supply
to aid digestion and rebuild the exhausted cells of the body
We no longer have out and kill animal life with bow
and spear handtohand combat. We simply go
to restaurant open the lunch pail get what
want If the service is slow and appetite ferocious
sonay revert to jungle type and feel like going out and
matchmaking the chef and waiter to rush meal.
Obviously there's longer any physical other
sy for rtabty and aggresveness accompanying hunger
These unpleasant sensations are superfuous But nature
hasn't quite kept up with rapid advancement Jungle
days gone, but she hasn't eliminated jungle emotions
In many other Ways, civilized man has "outgrown" his
physical body We've become civilized fast Natures evo
ton is slower haven't shaken off jungle emotions and
jungle physique Our bodies and emotions like driving
stagecoach in age of airpanes.
That's what the hghbrows when they claim the
machinery and systems of civilization have developed faster
than mans ability to handle them.

Paul Perier, as the mother of
little Jack, does not seem to enter
INTO her scheme at all-at least she
says nothing to me about her.
l wish while you are out there you
would tell Paula for me that she has

doesn't seem to be happy herself and

unexpectedly in the nursery. When
she saw me she nervously tried to
conceal what suspected was tele-
gram / didn't think much about it
at the time although we had some
words over something else. (Somc
way we disagree greatly over most
things, lately.)
After she left the room, however,
l found part of that message on the
floor and it read, "If you are in trou-

ton. held last evening, an annual
dividend of five percent was declar-
ed. In addition to showing nice

amounting to several hundred dol
lars, have been paid out Of the pro-
fits Of the company for the nine

tors was rendered to the directors at
the meeting last night, and Chas. D.
Cooley, secretary of the association,
was elected to fill the vacancy for
