 Thy Self,
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
 PREVENTING VOICE. SII;AIN


 Children should be encouraged to sing, As health measure singing is invaluable. A light heart-a heart that can sing to itself-that is the thing to carry you through life.
 Singing is an excellent method of exercising and strengthening the muscles and other throat structures. When we fully realize how many diseases seek their point of attack from throat infection. and how healthy mouth, throat and tonsils can save us from world of suffering, we can appreciate the health value of singing voice and strong, healthy larynx.
 For the child who is at all inclined to sing, use the greatest precautions to prevent any possible injury or strsining of the vocal structures in early years. When the little one be- gins to sing and trill. use your pow CTS of direction and help to prevent any strain. At the period when the voice is changing, singing and use of the voice, in anything but the simplest exercises, should be carefully dNolutu. SiHEln8 IS one Ot the very best forms of respiratory gymnastics and tends to develop full. well-form- ed chest.
 The adult person must be careful not to use the singing voice too soon after an attack, no matter how slight, of colds, catarrh or acute laryngitis. The laryngeal muscles are so much swollen and disturbed that, if persisted in, actual loss of the sing ing voice may result.
 Do not strain your voice by im- proper methods or undue muscular tension. The straining of your vocal structures in too forceful vocal izing may permanently injure and stiffen the throat and larynx action. Their adjustment is thereby slow and untimely; in other words, they become muscle-bound. Your health is thereby injured and your general resistance lowered.

enough, those were never the times in which dire necessity drove him to contemplate its sale. So surely as he came to consider that, so surely did the old superstition, begotten of and steadily nourishedl by his fancy, seize upon him to bid him hold his hand and suffer all but death before thus purchasing redemption.
 Therefore was it that, as he took his way now up Fleet Hill. he left that jewel out of his calculations in his assessment of his utterly made quate means.
 Westward through the mire of the Strand he moved, with his swinging soldierly stride. and so. by Charing Cross, at, last into Whitehall itself. Down this he passed toward the chequered embattled Cockpit Gate

Colonel Holes, soldier and adven- turer, comes to lodge with Martha Quinn, hostess of the Paul's Head in Paul's Yard. London. Mrs. Quinn, possessed of a discerning eye for a fine figure of man, assigns to the colonel's exclusive use a cosy parlor.
 The colonel informs Martha that he has business in town at Court. With an eye to the future, Mrs. Quinn iavishly entertains Holes and sees in him an ideal husband. Of humble birth. Martha longs to marry gentleman born.
 The colonel is in reduced circum- stances and Martha, seeing this, re- solves to impress upon his mind that she is wealthy woman willing to fall victim to his charms The colonel is mildly puzzled when Mrs. Quinn suggests to him that he take unto himself wife.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Now there I VOW you do yourself injustice"
 Faith, it's trick I've learnt from cthers.''
 You are. when all is said, very proper man."
 Aye. But proper for what?"
 She pursued her theme without pausing to answer his frivolous aues- ton. And there's many a woman of substance who needs man to care for her and guard her-such a man as yourself, Colonel; one who knows his world and commands a worthy place in it.
 "I command that, do |? On my soul you give me news of myself"
 If ye don't command it, it is that ye lack the means, perhaps. But the place is yours by right"
 By what right, good hostess?''
 By the right of your birth and breeding and military, rank, whicn is plain upon you. Sir, why will you be underwriting yourself? The means that would enable you to take your proper place would be pro- rided by the wife who would be glad 10 share it with you"
 He shook his head. and laughed again.
 Do you know of such a lady?"
 Because her courage failed her at this moment, Destiny pursued the forging Of that curious chain Of cir cumstances which 1t is my task to reveal to you link by link.
 s,.l- ..1.- t that I should not be sorcly put to it to find her. l , should not have far to seek"
 ''lt is fattering conviction. Alas. ma'am, I do not share it." He was sardonc. He made 1t clear that he refused to take the matter seriously that with him 1t never could be more than peg for jests. He rose, smiling a little erookedty. There fore I'll still pin my hopes 10 his grace of Albemarle. They may be desperate; but faith, they're none so desperate as hopes Of wedlock." HeI took up his sword as he spoke. passing the baldric over his head and settling it on his shoulder. Then he reached for his hat. Mrs. Quinn re- garding him the while in mingIing and hesitation.
 At last she reused herself, and sighed.
 We shall sec: NC shall see. Maybe we'll talk of it again" Il
 Not if you love mo, delectable he protested. turning 10 depart.
 Solicitude for his immediate com. fort conquered all other considera- tions in her.
 "You'li not go forth without an- other draught to to fortify you"
 She possessed herself again Of the empty tankard. He paused and smiled. Fl may need fortifying." he confessed. thinking of all the dis | appointment that had waited upon his every previous attempt 10 see the Duke. You think of everything" he praised her. You arc not Mrs. | Quinn Of the Paul's Head. you are benign Fortune pouring gifts from m inexhaustible cornucopia."
 La. sirl" she laughed, as she | hustled out. It would be wrong 10 l 'ay that she did not understand him; 'or she perfectly understood that he paid her some high and fiowery which was what she | most desired of him as an earnest of | better things 10 follow.
