The "Te Deum" is a famous Latin
hymn of praise and supplication-so
called from its first words-used In
the ritual of the Roman Catholic and
Anglican churches.
Its date and authorship are uncer-
tain, but it is commonly supposed to
be the joint production of St Ambrose
and st. Augustine, ON the occasion of
the baptism of the latter, about 800
A. D. On this occasion 1t is frequently
called the "Ambrosian Hymn"
1t has also been ascribed to Atha-
nasids, bishop of Alexandria, to
Nicetius, and to Hilary of Poitiers.-

Gases Preuenf Colds

Scientists have come upon the fact
that men and women who work In fac
tories where there are irritating gases
rarely if ever suffer from colds. This
is due TO the gases acting as an ir-

the nasal passages moist so that the
germs do not lodge. For this reason

fall for it every time"
Kenneth Marlin sighed and shook
his head sadly, detection marking
every line Of his fine face. His had
been life of sacrifice; first for his
mother and his aged grandfather, then
for his two sisters. His mother and
grandfather had long since passed to
their reward, and both sisters were
married to prosperous husbands. but
the impulse to keep himself always in
the background still sat so strongly
upon him that he was ready to aban-
don his quest for happiness, because,
forsooth, the girl ne loved had smiled
sweetly at another.
1t was no idle rumor-he had seen
1t with his own eyes and so far as he
was concerned, what Peggy wanted
Peggy must have. If she cared more
for Rich Barlow than she did for him.
not only would he stand aside, he
would also lasso Barlow and keep him
tied hand and foot until ne asked
Peggy to be his wife, whether he
wanted to or not.
1t was just as he was planning this
leading of the lamb to the slaughter
that his old friend, Bige Woodford,
found him and delivered himself of
this instructive lecture on Stone-age
methods
Il tell you, Bige," Kenneth went on
as soon as he could wedge in a word,
I just can't do 1t. Peggy's different.
She's so little and helpless. 1t would
seem like striking baby to adopt tao

"All right then. suffer! You deserve

And that is exactly what Marlin pro-

sat there endeavoring to make up his
mind to try out Bige WoodforSs plan.

anything as he wanted Peggy Nor
