 THE SIMPLE LIFE

Since Charles Wagner wrote his little book on The Simple Life = many interpretations, good, bad and humorous, have been made in regard to it's teachings.
 Long before his day, men were living the simple life but there was very little said or written concerning it.
 Living the so-call"d simple life is q wonderful thing for health and longevity. It pays good health divi- dends.
 The first thing to start one on the road 10 the simple life is thorough health examination to ascertain your actual physical standing. Beware or that little ailmcnt which causes a twitch or twingc in your back or at your heart strings" Nature is giving you a warning signal. Ii you don't give it any attention the damaging drains on your vitality and bodily resistance will gradually become worse. Too much eating at irregular periods neg locting bad teeth, harboring diseased tonsils or burning the candle at both ends, are bad practices against the simpo-lifo program,
 Theodore Roosevelt was busy man. morr so than the majority of people but he always found time in his life for some relaxation and help ful exercise every day, Minor defects in your eycsight hearing, lungs. heart CT the digestive system may be detect ed and brought out by exercise.
 The simple life calls for q decrease in your meat allowance after 40. Before that age cut down in meat is all the better for your muscles and digestion, A right proportion of the bulky green vegetables is of great as- sistancc fin keeping the joints from stitfcnns, helping to cut down your waistlino and k"ping the weight where it belongs, Sleep your full allotted time Of eight hours.
 Work as hard as you desire and get fatiguod in the natural course of doing it, but don't eat when you are tired Rest q while and then eat moderate portion slowly.

The Time Drew Near For
 Departure

Harriet Braithwaite drew d breath at Lillian's nonsense, but looked at me steadily.
 T ought 10 warn you" she said that though Edwin and both drive occasionally. we are very Erdiocre pilots. ana We know next to nothing about the mechanism of a machin" if il should brcal; down."
 "A breakdown for any cause but tir" trouble is most improbable with that fool-proof car of mine" I answered chcerily, and l suppose Edwin can help put on spare if fl should b" necessary. which I am sire it wont-my tires are in good condition"
 Oh yes, he can do that" Har- riet answered. and | am so glad you have decided to go. It isn't cold, and at the very worst it would be better to draw the machine to one side of the road and wait ultil day light than 10 stay here and run the risk of having watch set upon us"
 The terror which was upon her was evident. and I marvclcd anew at the change which the children of her dead sister had made in her stately, self-containcd existence. There was but one necessity before her now, and that tho one of getting them safely out Of reach of their fathers family.
 Harriet Hears the Plans
 That is what l think" l agreed heartily. But I am sure no con- tingency like that will confront us. We shall be sound asleep in some village inn on the north side long before midnight"
 Let us hope so." she answered. When do we start?"
 As soon as wc hear that evening train pull out" I answered. and then l told her of Iillian's p'an to take the daughter and the three children across the road to New York on the train in an effort to mislcad the detective who alreaoy hnd appeared at the farm. It was liarriet's first knowledge of the man, and her face paled as she lis- tened.
 "Rnt suppose he isn't foole1," she quavered.
 Well, we'll have done all that's humanly possible" Lillian said short lE and I knew that her dislike or my sister-in-aw was being augmented by her objections to the plan so careful ly thought out. And even if he never gets on the train at al, he'u have a fine chance trailing you ont that wood road at the back of the farm on a night like this"
 katie's knock al the door. und hcr announcement Of dinner sent Harriet scurrying to the library where sho had left the children, and Lillian waited only until Katie had gone on down the hall 10 relieve her mind.

"That woman has her worrying clothes on. and she's going 10 be as irritating as an att tack Of chickcn-poN all the way in !

most as interruptions. The girls a prude, and I never learned the way to handle prudes Faith, it's an education in itself.'
 "Is it ." said Buckingham. "I must undertake it, then"
 And undertake it he did with all the zest of one who loved learning and thc study of unusual subjects.
 Daily now he was 10 loo seen in q box at the theater in Loncoln's III Fields. and daily he sent her, in token Of his respectful homage, gifts Of flowers and comfts. He would have added jewels, but that wiser Ether. edge restrained him.
 Nc brnsquea pas l'afairc," was the younger mans advice. "Yon'll scare her by precipitancy,and so spoil all. Such a conquest as this requires in- finite patience"
 His grace suffered himself to be advised. and set q restraint upon his ardour. using the greatest circuD1- spoction in the visits which he paid her almost daily after the performs ance. He confined the expressions Of admiration to her histrionic art, and, if he touched upon her personal beauty and grace, 1t was ever in as- sociatlon with her playing, so that it's consideration seemed justified by the part that he told her he was con- ceiving for her. ....-.
 Thus sBbtly did he seek 10 lull her caution and intoxicate her senses with the sweet poison Of flattery, whilst discussing with her the play he was to write-which, in his own phrase.w as 10 immortalize himself and her, thereby cternally uniting them. There was in this more than suggestion of q spiritual bond, q marriage Of their respective arts to give life to his dramatic conception, so aloof from materail and personal considerations that she was deceived into swallowing at least half the bait. Nor was fl vague. His grace did not negect to furnish it with q certain form. His theme, he told her, was the immortal story Of Laura and her Petrarch set in the warm glitter Of an old Italian frame. Nor was that all he told her. He whipped his wits to some purpose. and sEctcbed for her the outline Of a first act Of tenderness and power
 Al the end Of a week he announced that this first act was already written.
 q have labored day and night" he told her: driven rclcntlcssly by the inspiration you have furnished me. So great is this that l must regard tho thing as more yours than mine. or I shall do if when you have set upon it the seal Of your approval 2" Abruptly he asked her, as if it were a condition prcmeditated: :'When will You hear me read il ?''
 Were it not better that your grace should first complete the work ?" she asked him.
 Hc was taken aJack. almost horror stricken. 10 judge by his expression.
 ''Compictc if. he cried: without knowing whether II takes the shape that you dcsirs'
 'Iiut it is not what desire. your grace ."
 What else. then? It it not some thing that I am doing specially for you. moved to it by yourself? And shall l complete it tormented the while by doubts to whether you will consider # worthy Of your talents when fl is done? Would you let a dressmaker complete your gown with out ever a fitting to see how fl be- comes you? And Is a play. then, less important than a garment?
