CHAPTER xvi-Continued.

The name of Phyllis Bruce came to
him with almost shock. He had
been so occupied with his farm and
with Zen that he had thought but little
of her of late. AS he turned the mat
ter over in his mind now he felt that
he had used Phyllis rather shabbily.
Grant LIT a cigar and sat down to
smoke and think. The matter OF
Phyllis needed prompt settlement. II
afforded a means TO burn his bridges
behind him, and Grant felt that IL
would be just as well TO cut off all
possibility Of retreat. Fortunately the
situation was one that could be ex-
plained-to Phyllis.
He had told himself, back in those
days in the East, that it would not be
fair to marry Phyllis Bruce while mis-
heart was another's. He had be
lieved that then; now he knew the
real reason was that he had allowed
himself to hope, against all reason,
that Zen TranSley might yet be his.
He had harbored an unworthy desire,
and called it a virtue. WellEthe die
was cast. He had definitely given Zen
up. He would tell Phyllis everything.
That is, everything she needed
TO know.
1t would be best to settle it at once
the sooner the better. He went to
his desk and took out writing paper
He addressed a note TO Phyllis. pom
dered minute in a great hush in the
storm, and wrote:
81 am sure now. May 1 come? Den
nison."
This done he turned to the tele-
phone. hurrying as one who fears for
the duration of his good resolutions.
He gave the number of Linder's
rooms in town; it was likely Under
had remained in town, but it was q
question whether the telephone bell
would waken him. He had recollec-
tions of Under as a sound sleeper.
But even as this possibility entered
his mind he heard Linder's phlegmatic
voice in his ear.
"Oh, Under! I'm so glad l got you.
I've message l want delivered to Miss
Bruce. Under? Lin
der!"
There was no answer. Nothing but
a hollow empty sound on the wire, as
though it led merely into the universe
inSgeneral. He tried to call the oper-
ator, but without success. The wire
was down.
He turned from 1t with a sense of
acuta imnatience Was this an omen
of obstacles to bar him now from
Phyllis Bruce?
Suddenly came a quick knock. at the

The enormous trunks are hollow. AS

An expert climber goes up the tree
with a rope to which is attached the
precious bag; he hauls 1t up with care,
and empties the water into the hollow

suit of age or disease, and the sur

will without prospect of being inter
rupted. The road by which she en-
tered the cup was the road by which
any intruder must enter it. 1t was
also, as Zen was suddenly to discover,
the only road by which one could es-
cape.
1t was upon the afternoon when
Truth confronted Dennison Grant in
his furrow that Zen made that discov-
cry. Her self-imposed tasks COM

fruit stains from her hands, changed

her gift of silence.
AT a point where the road rose high
enough to command a view of the sur

a slow, half-guilty glance to the south

its slow shuttle back and forth across

Pit ponies are not the only creatures

They have been known TO gnaW cables,

food consists of scraps from the

fabricated parts of machinery in the

TONSILITIS

THE tonsils are little glands, nor.
= mally about the size of small hick-
DRY nuts. They lie in the mucous
membrane In the back of the mouth,
just above the base of the tongue
They have little canals, called crypts,
which secrete mucus to moisten the
lining membrane of the mouth.
When the tonsils are healthy. we
never know they are there. But il
they become infiamed and swollen,
they produce severe and painful con-
dition called tonsilitis.
This is one of the causes of what Is
popularity called "sore throat The
child may have chill, followed by
fever, sore throat. pain and difficult
ty in Swallowing. In mild simple
cases, the Inflammation disappears in
a few days. But it is liable to return,
especially in weak, undernourished
children.
If pus germs get into the little
crypts they produce deep inflamma-
ton which may result in an abscess.
This is called quincy" When this
happens. the tonsils become greatly
enlarged, sometimes filling up the
throat so that breathing is difficult
After few days of intense pain and
discomfort, this abscess may 'break,"
relieving the pain. The doctor, by
lancing the abscess, shortens the dis
ease and so prevents many hours Of
suffering
Instead of forming an abscess, the
infection may become chronic and the
tonsils may then become permanently
enlarged and interfere with breathing.
The constant absorption of poison
from the infected and infiamed ton

may reach the heart, causing some
form of heart disease, or may affo

Long continued Inflammation of the
tonsils, either in the acute form or
in the milder but chronic form, de-
stroys the structure of the tonsils and
converts the glands into masses of
scar tissue. They are then not only
of no use, but they are a real danger
The best thing to do is to get rid of
them. Their removal is simple mat
ter of little danger or discomfort to
the patient. If done by competent
physician.

Transley home than the end of his
furrow He had handed back Transley's
wife from the edge of the abyss; he
had made UP his mind; that much was
settled.
The battle that ragged within him
now centered about Under and Phyllis
Bruce. When he had recovered from
the first shock of Phyllis revelation
and was able to think sanely he was
sure that her heart might still be his

was another case of a man being worth
his salt. But Under was not Transley.
He had spared Transley; could he be
less generous with LinderT And what
of Phyllis? Would she be happy with
Under?
Then Truth stood up before him in
the furrow, as he plowed its slow
length one haZy summer afternoon,
and called him'a hypocrite. He heard
the voice as clearly as the champing
of his horses on their bits. "Hypo-
critic - cried Truth to him. You make
a great virtue of your generosity to
Linder. Easy generosity that, while
you continue to love-Zen Transley!"
Down by the river spiral of smoke
wound upwards from the Transley
chimney, and even as Grant looked he
saw an automobile trailing dust about
the shoulder of his hill. 1t was Trans
ley returning to his home.
Transley's wife had fortified her
good resolutions behind an outburst of
activity.
But there were times when the crav-

re-survey her life and bask for mo-
ment in the luxury of oh imaginings,
became irresistible. On such occa-
sions she would follow the road that
skirted the cliffs of the river bank to
point where it turned ir the basin of

lay on the edge of the hills like a
cup from which side had broken and
fallen into the river which boiled in a
green foam hundred feet below. The
only access to this cup was by the
road, no longer frequented, which Zen
had chosen for her solitary rambles.
Once inside the quarry she was iso-
lated from the world; here her vision

PNEUMONIA DEATH RATE
CUT DOWN

DNEUMONIA is one of the common
= est and most fatal diseases. 1t is
: also the most important disease in the
so-called Respiratory Group" which,
so far, modern science has been I'M
able to prevent
While pneumonia is more prevalent
in the early spring and late fall, 1t
occurs practically all the year round,
, in rural districts, in small towns, and
large cities. 1t is particularly prev
alent in old age; in fact, some medi-
! cal authorities say that pneumonia is
the natural termination of the life of
the old person
Those diseases caused by polluted
water, such as cholera, typhoid fever
and dysentery, and those carried by
insects, such as yellow fever, typhus
fever and malaria, have been very
largely controlled. But the respira-
tory group, including pneumonia, bron-
chitis, influenza, and probably some
forms of meningitis, is, so far as our
beyond control.
| If a disease cannot be prevented,
the next best thing is to cure it as
quickly and completely as possible
But here again difficulties arise.
Many different forms of serums and
vaecines for the treatment of pneu-
monia have been proposed in the last
twenty years. None of them has given
satisfactory results. The New York
City Health department, however, has
announced the perfection of a. new
substance for the treatment of pneu-
monia which, it is hoped, will cut
the death rate from % to so per cent.
This substance was discovered by
DR.. Lloyd d. FELTON, of the department
of preventive medicine of Harvard
Medical school 1t is white, crystal
line powder which Doctor FELTON, ex-
tracted from ordinary horse serum
which has been used quite widely In
the past in the treatment of influenza.
1t has been used in the treatment of
100 pneumonia patients without the
slightest unfavorable effect 1t is APP
parently free from the substances In
other serums which sometimes cause
chilIs, fever and other bodily mani
festations.
The discovery of this substance is
the result of five years of research and
experimental work, inaugurated by
Doctor FELTON, with the support of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company
after the widespread influenza cpl
demic of 1915
1t is, of course, too early to make
any definite statements regarding the
value of this discovery, but the con-
ditions under which the substance has
been produced. the long period devoted
to experimental work, and~-the results
secured by the Boston and New York
City Health departments all lead to
the hope that it may prove an effec-
tive addition TO present methods of
treating pneumonia and to the reduc-
ton of the high mortality rate which
has always prevailed in this disease.
