He must have danced all night, for Dicky had said that the night club where he worked did not dismiss the last of its patrons until daylight, and no stress Of my imagination could picture a walk through q park as the relaxation which Jack Leslie would take at this hour A drive in an open car. yes-but a walk never, Yet the only other eXplana tion which came to me was so far fetched and fantastic that l scored my imagination savagely for running wild.

 COMMON COLDS BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia the Health Magazine
 The physician who treats patient with one Of the acute infectious dis cases, or even the common cold stands most in fear of q secondary infection of the ear, which, if not relieved promptly, may result in mastoiditis.
 For instance, pr. Anna B. Lefier Of California, reported to the spe- cialisLs attending the annual meet ing of the American Academy Of Ophtholomology and Otolaryngology that 45 of 345 patients with scarlet fever seen during 1895 developed a secondary infection of the ear.
 These patients were treated by a prompt cutting of the ear drum to release the infected matter held under pressure within.
 Don't Wait.
 As q result all but three recovered promptly and not one had to have mastoid operation. Unfortunately, persons are inclined 10 wait too long with ear infection before having the car drum opened.
 The pus then burrows it's way into the bony tissues behind the ear where it causes mastoid infection. The physician diagnosis the con- dition on the basis Of a bulging in- famed ear drum, high fever, and frequent redness, swelling and pain on pressure behind the ear.
 The latter symptoms are not, how ever, always present AS pr. A. M. Alden pointed out at the most re- cent meeting of specialists in dis eases of the ear, an infant may have a severe mastoid infection capable of producing profound general symptoms and even death without any external signs.
 The records of cases studied In the St. Louis Children's hospital showed that early operation, even in the absence of bulging and red ness behind the ear, brought about the saving of lives.
 Close to the Brain
 An infection in the ear is serious because of the secondary symptoms. The delicate tissues Of the brain lie very close to those of the ear. and pus. causing a brain abscess or in cecting any of the large blood ves- sells about the brain. is likely to produce fatal result,
 In this condition, as in most other diseases affecting mankind, early diagnosis and prompt treatment make a vast difference in the dura- ton of illness and the final recovery.

Afadgc Witnesses Jack Leslie's
 Dramatic Appearance

So cruel q thing is prejudice that when 1 saw Mrs. Baker, the curi- osity-ridden lodger from the fourth floor, fall almost at Mary Harrison's s feet in an apparent swoon, l stood motionless for few seconds trying 10 decide whether her unconscious uese was genuine or feigned in order to scrape an acquaintance with Mary.
 Mary, however, had not been so iilatory. As the woman fell. she rushed forward, kneeled down. gent ly turned the womans face upward and looked at it intently. Then she stood up swiftly and took off her coat, with the patent intention of putting it under the woman's head. l knew then that Mrs. Bakers fall had resulted in q swoon, not simple dizziness, and 1 hurried toward Mary with quick rcmorse in my heart.
 Someone was before me, however, young man, who, dressed accord ing to the last word of the mems wear advice column, and swinging q tick, emerged from the path op- posite mine. Seeing the fainting woman, he broke into q run, drop ping his stick with a chatter on the concrete walk as he did so. It was 2 pleasing picture of strong young manhood rushing 10 the air ot wom- n in distress. but even as my hand was raised to put aside the bushes which separated me from the group l recognized the rcscuing knight, and stepped back, noiselessly, with a swift mental warning to wait be- fore I emerged and confronted him,
 For it was Jack Leslie who stood there, Jack Leslie, the cabaret dancer. whom Dicky once had dubbed the 'capcring cockroach," and whose admiring giances at Mary and evident determination to meet her, I had been able to thwart when Diclly young niece first came to p-,

but dumb"
 Honey Lou lifted it to her nos trils. T. certainly smclled like orangeade. Or fruit punch. Drink it." said the gay voice be- side her. It'll pep up your appe- | tite."
 She drank it. She drank 1t all.
 They went into the dining room.
 The table was aglow with candle light in the middle of big shadovy room. 1 Honey Lou had never seen a table | like it. Down the center of it was row of pale-green glass bowls. { They stood on a long narrow mir TOT, and the flowers in them were reflected in the glass. And many garden by the water blows" she murmurcd softly to Jack WaIlack, as he held her chair for her.
 She knew that 1t was a line of poetry from something she knew but she couldn't remember what. Her head was going around and dluullu dlIb clit GttIIltl 'O Htr lll' room and the people in it through q golden veil. Her eyes, as she turned them 10 Jack Wallack, were large and luminous in her flushed face.
 I'm as dizzy as an electric fan" anything in that fruit punch we had?"
 That wasn't fruit punch. That was cocktail and a mighty strong one. thought you never drank" Honey Lou shook her head. T never do." She answered weakly. T never do," She picked up het soup spoon. It felt very heavy in her hand.
 After a long time, Jack spoke to her again:
 You know, Honey Lou. one req son why I'm so strong for you is that you are so decent" he said, and his eyes were serious as he looked at her. Because you don't drink"
 Don't believe anything he says to you. Miss IIuntley," piped up Mrs. Clemens from the other side of the table. Jack pulls an awfully strong line of bunk, But it doesn't mean anything"
 shut up, Suzanne" the sleepy looking man. who sat beside her, said. Talk to me and leave Romeo and Juliet alone"
 Jokes flew back and forth across the table, and easy laughter.
 Suzanne Clemens got up, while the soup plates were being taken away, and went into q Charleston trance on the polished floor be- tween the dining room and the liv- ing room.
 The sleepy-looking man sang All Gods chillun gotta shoes" in q sleepy grooming voice.
 Tim Donegal gave an imitation of ventriloquist.
 Honey Lou sat back and watched it all with eyes that were sparkling and wistful. All this seemed very far away from her desk and her job down at the Wallack mills Very far away from the flat and mother and Alaragct.
 She could hardly believe that she was here in this great house, among Jack Wallack's s frlcnds-a stranger in a strange land
 She looked up at him. and saw that he was looking at her.
 T wish We were out of this" he was saying, so low that no one but she could hear him. T wish we were alone somewhere. Don't you?"
 Her eyes half closed drowsily as she nodded her head at him.
 After the meal was over she and Tim Donegal started the radio in the sunroom while the other four played cards before the fire.
 Honey Lou did not know how 10 play bridge. She had never so much as touched q playing card in her life.
 "Old Jack thought he was going to have you all to his lonesome" Donegal told her with q chuckle, when they were settled in big wicker chairs and the music was all around them, but Angel jock eyed him into the card game-and

old Jack likes cards about the way l like work"
 Honey Lou smiled at him lazily [ Her head was still swimming. She l closed her eyes. When she opened l them again, Angela was in the sunroom. She was holding another tray of little glasses in her hands Have one?" she asked Honey { Lou.
 | Honey Lou shook her head NO, | thanks. they go 10 my head, I'm afraid" she said. I'm not used to them"
 Angela shrugged her shoulders.
 There are mild. They wouldn't hurt a baby" she said. Take one"
 Honey Lou didn't know how to get out of it. So she took one of the litle glasses and drained it. Presently the room began to rock like a ship in a storm. The radio music began to beat in Honey ! Eou's ear like the sound of great drum.
 She felt sick and hot. She tried to get out of her chair, to go to a window and open if. But she sank back, too sick and faint and dizzy 10 move.
 Then. above the singing in her cars, she heard Angela Aliens voice. It was close at hand.
 Are you sick? Do you want to lin Cb al. Il | Honey Lou tried to say "Yes"
 But she couldn't. She felt as if she were slipping down-down- into windy darkness. After an eternity she heard another voice, a low, deep, mans voice Jack Wal lacks.
 What's happened to her, Angel ?" 1t asked.
 Then complete silence closed down over Honey Lou. She had, as Suzanne Clemens said, passed goriousIy out of the picture"
 And so she did not hear Angela s soft answer.
 "Please take her home, Jack" she | said, looking at him with her gentle dove-colored eyes. Shes had too much to drink. She must have had seven or eight cocktails, your hard 1 boiled little friend. I lost count of them after a while"
 "She didn't know what they'd do to her. She thought they were fruit punch, poor little kid" Jack an- swercd.
 But Angela shook her head with it's halo of pale gold hair. T told her they were cocktails" |" she said clearly.
 Jack looked at her narrowly. Her eyes were wide and tnnocent-and he had never known Angela to tell lie. And so he believed her.

 Honey Lou Huntley Is private secretary of old Grumpy" WaIack, head of the Wallack Fabric Mills.
 Grumpy" hired Honey Lou not only because she is quick and clever, but because she is pleasant to have around, so he says. Everyone at the place likes Honey Lou. from Ann Ludlow, the office vamp, to Joe Meadows, the shipping clerk. But Honey Lou is half afraid of Joe Meadows without exactly knowing why.
 Young Jack Wallack comes to work in his fathers mills, to learn the business from the ground floor up" He fals in love with Honey Lou as soon as he sees her, and she with him. But when he asks her to meet him on street-corner, Honey Lou flatly refuses to do it. And when he drives her home one night and kisses her, Honey Lou slaps his face and gets out of inc car. Later he apologies and they become good friends.
 Later, when he meets Honey Lou's gentle well-hred mother and her half-sister, Margaret Moody, he realized that she has been reared as carefully as any of the girls of his own world outside the mills. One night Honey Lou meets one of his friends, Angela Allen, who lives next door 10 the Walack family. Shs feels sure that Angela, whose nick name is Angel" is in love with Jack, and she is surprised when she asks her to dinner at her house, to celebrate Jacks birthday.
 Mrs. Huntley, Honey Lou's moth- CT, makes a quaint, gauzy dress for her to wear to the party. Honey Lou looks like q Dresden shepherdess in it. But when she arrives at the AL len house and sees that Angela has on a plain dress and that there are only half dozen guests, she real izes she is overdressed and queer looking. ''I look like a bareback rider in a circus" she says bitterly to Jack WallaCk, and hangs back at the door of the living room. Then Angela comes and puts a protecting arm around Honey Lou, and leads her firmly and gently into the room- full of people.

ROOFS IGNITED
FROM CHIMNEYS
IN four CASES

The high wind which has prevailed
since Saturday night has created an
additional hazard as the result OF
chimney blazes, and with three calls
on Monday following one on Sunday,
the Augusta firemen had a total OF
four similar fires with the roof shing-
les becoming ignited in each instance
from the burning out chimneys. Chief
Engineer Small issued a warning
Monday that chimney fires should be
given immediate attention as the
roofs are again bare and dry after
having been blanketed with snow
during the winter months.
An alarm from Box % at Mt. Yer
non avenue and Mill street was
sounded at 2.25 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon for a bad chimney blaze at
the house numbering 4S Mill street.
The roof caught fire from the wind
driven sparks and it was necessary
to use several chemicals to extin-
gush the blaze.
While responding to the Mill street
call the combination chemical, No. 1,
was in a rear-end collision with No. 2
at the corner of Bond and Water
streets. Driver Moody of No. 2,
which was preceding, cut the beacon
to make the turn off Water street
and Immediately struck PAD going
and his truck was considerably slow
ed up in the rutted street. No. 1
truck operated by Driver Currier.
close behind, struck the rear standing
board of the head truck with the
front bumper of the combination
truck. The damage was negligible
and both pieces of apparatus ccntin-
ued On at once to the scene of the
call.
At 1880 Monday morning the ap-
paratus from the Hartford station
was called to 90 Grove street for q
chimney fire, and while there a sim"
liar call came from Wade street,
just across the way. In both cases
the, roof shingles were ignited from
the blazing chimneys, but the fires
were eXtinguished by the use of
chemicals with the damage being con-
fined to small patches of charred
shingles.
