 "Why Not the Farm?"
 Coming back into the living room of the little suite, found Lillian almost half through with her task of folding the articles we had in- spected and laying them back in the trunk. went at once to her aid. and we soon had everything in place, the trunk locked and the key restored to the oiled silk packet which Lillian had slowed away in her own valise. Then she dropped into the nearest chair, and notion ed me to draw another near her.
 I'm glad that jobs done" she said. wearily, Now I've got to con- sider the next one. Whatever am I to do with this girl?"
 I made her no answer. for I knew she expected none from me as yet, She was asking the question of her self, and after pause she began a tentative answer.
 "Of course I know what I ought to do," she said. "The only sensible procedure would be to take the girl 1 to Bellevue and turn over to the authorities all the data I have con- | carpino p,tt 1o ct fI hunch of mine won't let me do that, even If I didn't have scruples against putting the poor pretty thing up against the red tape of the law. There's something mighty ap- pealing about her, don't you think so ?"
 "Yes, I felt It." I answered, but Lillian noticed my answer only with nod and went on rapidly with her monologue. I knew that she was using me as dressmakers formerly availed themselves of wire models. i My attention was the form over which she was draping her mental arguments pro and con. The only service I could render her was to be a silent but eager auditor.
 Its lucky that I don't have to render any account of my dealings with her 10 any authority" She went on, while I mentally com mented that her position in the diplomatic secret service of the gov ernment gave her latitude of &C., ton which might be dangerous in the hands of many women. Tt en- ables me to take her anywhere l wish, but where, that's the question, I can't keep her in a place like this, the studio is impossible and the farm equally so." {
 At last saw my chance to help, and my desire to aid Lillian was bolstered by my own odd hunch, concerning the mysterious girl, as ] answered quietly
 ''Why not the farm.?"

ON HEALTH - MORE FOOD IN WINTER

Girls, wearing silk stockings and thin clothing on cold days, should act an extra dish of cereal, or a slice of butter and bread or a glass of rich, sweet milk, according to Mrs. Mann of Anytown.
 Cold weather demands that the body have more food for warmth. If food is not available then the body burns up it's own tissues.
 This burning to make up for a deficit in food is apt to be unmer- ciful in leaving sharp lines which are not always attractive.
 Many angles enter into the ques- ton of how much a person should

Alden Drake. formerly sailor. grown soft and habby through a life of Idle ease, ships aboard the clipper orontes as boy" under the command of
 Jake Stevens, whose enmity he incurs because of Q mutual love for--
 Marry Manning, daughter of the owner who is4 passenger on the orontes. At Cape Town, Stevens is superseded as captain of the Or ontes by Drake, whose lawyers have purchased tho vessel during its cruise. Drake and Mary are enjoy ing an evening. together in Cape Town, while the denoted Stevens Is making the rounds of the bar rooms. Drunk and furious, Stevens calls Drake away from Mary in order to fight with him. Stevens is whipped, and now Drake goes back to Mary. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 When Drake returned to Mary, she stood up with cry of dismay. He had been gone about twenty minutes.
 Now he came back to her smil- ing, bright eyed, but with, three inch strip of plaster down one cheek, and lumpy bruise as big as a purple passion fruit on the other temple. His hands, too. looked as if he had been breaking bricks with his fists for a wager. Her big blue eyes widened. .....
 Don't look like that, Mary!" he laughed, pressing her into her chair gently. I'm not hurt. Little acci- dent, that's all. Let's see, we were chatting about how we were to fur nish the boudoir--"
 "Do stop your jesting." she cried. we were talking of no such thing! I won't hear word until you have told me what has happened. Was it--?" Her eyes darkened, and she drowned as the truth, or possible truth, dawned upon her. He broke in, grinning:
 Tt was, Mary. Jake Stevens. They prevented him coming here to see you, so he tipped a waiter to bring me, then tried to jamb me under a rhododendron."
 Tt looks as if he succeeded" she retorted sharply. Let us go, now, before somebody else tries. You look horrible"
 A tiny chill fell over Drake. Mary wanted to go back to the ship, and her baffled escort led her to the car in silence.
 Tt has been a bully evening, any.

 Now I shall pay you back for what you just said about me! My magic charms will work magic now and I will magic you in three shakes of sheep's tail!" She spread the ten cent store magical charms upon the ground and said lot of magic words. Now" she cried as she picked up her charms and walked away.

 He dartcd forward and struck down tough looking fellow just as he was putting the boots to Stevens as he lay prostratc. Drake had It, tie time to look around. Sticks seemed as thick as rushes in a bas- ket. But he saw where the heart of the fight was. The rest was simply gang sympathy.
 Come on," he said to the valiant miner. Let's finish those three huskies. and the rest will run! AL together."
 Together they charged across Jake's body, their sticks going like fails. One man went down, only to rise up and trip Drake headlong. Sticks whacked down upon him as he lay defenseless.. His arms felt as If they were broken in a dozen places; his head rang as if ham, mered with iron. With that vital impulse which drives man on even after conscious volition fails he stumbled to his feet, guarding his head with one arm, and stab- ping fiercely at a blur before him with his short-gripped club. Vague ly he knew somebody fought be- side him: knew the blur before him thinned. Something stirred under his feet, and he fought to keep his balance.
 "orontes! Orontes!"
 That cry sounded strange. It was near, yet seemed far off. Drake fought doggedly. There was that stirring under his feet. He knew he was to be ripped again. He could not see the man who still fought be- side him. Something red and sway ing rose from the ground, and an other stick failed, but at his foes now.
 "Orontes, orontes!" the cry was close. The blur of foes began to vanish like mist.
 Aye, Orontes! Give 'em he'll! babbled the red swaying figure and Jake Stevens rallied tor another on- slaught. Drake saved his breath fol fighting. His miner friend tottered and gasped. But through the crowd stormed the tram driver and con. ductor, with controller and switch bar; and with them marched Mary Manning, splendid daughter of old Neptune, smacking faces right and left and turning murderous scowls to foolish grins.

 Hes my first mate," explained Drake. I'm Captain Drake, of the ship Orontes, lying in Table Bay. We're all right, thanks. If we could get an automobile I'd be glad"
 "Ill send one along sir" said the officer, and went off with his men. Drake glanced at Mary. She was all soft womanliness now, examining hurts, her eyes big and dark.
 I'm afraid neither Mir. Stevens nor I could be called respectable now" said Drake with grimace. The friendly miner grinned as Mary 1 finished cleaning cut on his chin. "I don't care what you are or what you look like. think you are both splendid" she cried. You, too," she added. Swift as a swallow she seemed to dart forward, and dabbled a kiss right. between the miners eyes as the car drove up. She was blushing furiously as she ran 1 into the auto.

"Why Not the Farm?" Says Madge
 to Lillian's Dilemma.

"There isn't distinguishing mark of any kind anywhere on the clothes in this trunk" l assured Lillian. 'Nor is there in the suitcase," she said, I've been through 1t. What else do you notice about this job ?"
 I hesitated only for an instant at Lillian's question, for l was very sure she was anticipating my an swer, that she had deduced what had from the collection of clothing in the trunk and suitcase of her mysterious protege.
 1.-Two things" answered. 'There's not a single article there that's ever been used, everything is fresh from the shops and think they were all selected by a man."
 "Of course" she rejoined. He's consulted some fool budget in a womans magazine about the articles which should comprise a feminine wardrobe, and then gone to some store which hasn't its own mark on its goods, and told some saleswoman a cock and bull story about a daugh- ter going to school or something like that. Cant you see the girl un- loading that silk dress and those hats on him? They'd probably, been In the store since Eve began to sit up and take notice"
 "All of that" l agreed. smiling at her vehemence. But - his lack of sartorial taste didn't hamper the rest of his job."
 Clothes Suggest Clue
 Not that you can notice" she answered dryly. There's absolutely nothing to go on in the rest of the clothing -- all articles made by the million. But there's something that whispers to me tKat this dress and hat may be the undipped tendon for our unknown Achilles. If you don't mind transferring them from this trunk to mine in the other room you'll find the key in my purse, l II Hut lll6 Ollltl NIllSS ptCh III this trunk and lock 1t again. Not that l think the girl ever saw it or that she knows anything about it, but there's no use taking any chances"
 She handed me the blue silk gown and the blue velvet hat, and taking her trunk key from her purse, I went into the adjoining room where Marion lay asleep, Unfastening Lil- Hans trunk, I opened 1t, and de- posted within it the articles through which my friend hoped to secure clue to the waif's identity.

 A heavy automobile takes more gas than light one. So a large, heavy person naturally requires more food than small person.
 Also person sitting still does not require the amount of food of one who is on the go all the time. It takes energy to move about, and the only way to produce energy in the body is through food taken into the system.
 Children eat less food than their elders, but all children need more food in nxoportion to their size than their fathers and mothers.

He then went to Illinois where he
got into trouble and served some
time in the reform school. Two weeks
ago he took the ]. j. Tofting car
