"I wonder if she told him It was not necessary to meet her" We laughed and dismissed the question as unanswerable but later in the day when everything was in readiness for Mary. including the large rose jars for which Lillian and l had shopped indefatigably, l had the conjecture brought forcibly to me by a summons to the telephone. The voice of Philip Vcritzep's sec retary spoke.
 Mrs. Graham 9" the soft voice murmured. "Will you please wait a second? Mir. Veritzen wishes to speak to you."
 Madge Is Offered VcritZen's Car
 I was niserably conscious that both Lillian and Katherine could see and hear me as in answer to Philip VeritzCn's resonant voice speaking my name, I murmured a perfunctory greeting, uttering his own in reply. I knew that l must refer to the roses, but was grateful that at first he gave me no chance 10 do so.
 This wire from your niece" he said, and I caught distinct amuse- ment in his tones, @states simply that she is arriving at five o'clock, and will see me as soon as possible after she arrives. Unfortunately ] am going out of town tonight for the rest of the week, and therefore must forego the pleasure of inter viewing her until next week. But to make amends for my seeming dis courtesy may I not put Otto and the car at your service from half after four until you have her safe at the apartment? l shall not need him at all during that time"
 "Oh, but that will be entirely" II began protestingly - stopped abruptly, as Lillian stepped forward and shook an admonitory forefinger at me, and substituted "too much" for the unnecessary" which l. had intended using.

 They're all like me, John," l said. If you give them a chance" "
 "Thcn I've missed a lot" he said, with another grin.
 We were standing there holding hands when the butler announced MT Symington.
 Come in. I want to introduce you" John said. Miss Dean, this is Mir. Symington, the man who is going to Darkest Africa with me. Harry, Miss Dean and Joan and you ard I are going to the theater to- night, Will you get us some seats?"
 The man, catching sight of our clasped hands, halted in amazement
 Do you mean that, Jack?" he gasped.
 "Of course" said John, and with another grin he dropped my hand and they walked away. he Iimping little more, perhaps, than ever be- fore, for he had forgotten to walk slowly and watch his step.

 Perhaps so." Heath spoke grave lX more so than the subject seemed to warrant. You ought to know"
 "Yes, I ought to know"

 It was just midnight when Myra softly opened her bedroom door and crept down the stairs.
 She felt her way in the dark, her sandalled feet making no sound on the rugs, and silently went on till she reached the studio.
 There, one small shaded lamp was glimmering, and Inman stepped from the shadows to greet her.

 But you did" he whispered ex- ultantly.
 That is quite evident" she smil ed again, relaxing in his embrace, leaning her lovely head back to look into his eyes.
 What did Perry say to you? Any hope?'
 We didn't get anywhere. ] broached the subject but after some aimless and futile talk he said we'd better sleep on it and take it up some other time"

 This was from Heath himself, who entered the studio and snapped on more lights as he spoke.

Veritzen Again Shows His
 GaIIantry to Madge

Has it occurred to you," Lillian asked, as I came back into the living room, that Mary may be here at any minute? This card from Yerit- zen says that she wired to him, say ing that she was coming today"
 Why do you suppose she wired him. and not Madge?" Katherine asked.
 You forget that she now con- siders herself a full-hedged profess sional woman under contract to a great dramatic producer" 1 said smiling, for I had had enough ex- perience in young-girl psychology to understand Mary's probable philoso- phy "She felt that it was her duty to notify her employer of her i'm pending arrival before she did any, thing else.

 Isn't that delicious?" Lillian asked. as we joined in her laughter. Cant you just see her trying to get all her message into ten words? What would you give, either of you, to be her age again, with the zest and ambition of sixteen? ?"
 "A million or two," I answered lightly, but Katherine shook her head.
 Not for me-" she said soberly. II shall be content if I get through one life creditably."
 Over her head, still men over the telegram, Lillian and I exchanged compassionate glances, for we both fathomed the reason for her de- pression, and knew that the shadow of her husbands harsh and somber philosophy, complicated by her struggled against caring too much for handsome, brilliant, adoring Hal

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Maonzine

i Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine The virtues of the lemon have been somewhat obscurcd of recent years by the unusual advertising ac- corded to the merits of the grape fruit and the orange.
 The tributes to the latter mem bers of the citrus family are well merited because of their delightful flavor, sweetness and richness in vitamins.
 | Oranges contain considerable amounts of y1tamins A, B and c. They are alkaline in their reaction in the body. and therefore, have certain tendency to overcome un- usual acidity.
 From the nutritive standpoint the orange is a most desirable fruit. Children studied in the University of Chicago were given from twenty to twenty-three ounces of orange juice daily.
 Their gains in weight when this substance was added to the diet were greater than could be account- ed for by the calories of food taken as orange juice in addition to the usual diet.
 Bone Builders
 It was found that the amount of calcium retained in the body was greater when oranges formed part of the food than when they were absent. Besides, more than three times as much phosphorous was re- tained in the body when orange juice was added to the diet than when 1t was absent. It will be re- membered that calcium or lime, and phospherous, are bone building sub stances.
 The lemon has had to overcome the disadvantage of sour and sometimes acrid flavor which does not appeal to as many persons as does that of the orange. It has had to contend also with the ridicule associated with its name ever since it occurred 10 some inspired come dian to connect it with the gesture of disdain.
 Nevertheless, the lemon has a great deal in its flavor. Both the juice and the peel of the lemon con tain vitamins. Both vitamins A and B have been found by several e. perts in considerable amounts in the rind of the fresh lemon.
 No External cBnefit
 It thus presents more than ade- Quate reason for it's eXistance by its virtues as Q constituent Of one of the most popular and healthful Of summer drinks and as garnish and q flavor on the table.
 The astute manufacturers of cos metics have also not overlooked natural interest in this fruit. All sorts of preparations are offered for the Identification of the skin and | the hair, with the claim that they have special qualifications because of their content of lemon juice.
 Unfortunately, there is not the slightest good evidence that lemon | juice is of any value in the beauti- fication of the human form, except taken internally to promote the gen. eral nutrition of the system.

ALASKA s0URDOUGH
 s0URED ON THE SOVIET

SEATTLE March27- Soviet rule is rapidly stamping out the last vestige of initiative in Siberia. declared Dan Ashton, Alaskan sour dough. who arrived here today af- Ter four years spent in the Siberian mines. The last seventeen months he has been a government engineer.
 Tn Siberia the working class is crying for the good old cays when Nicholas ruled. he declared.
 Ashton took out $50,000 from the gold placer fields of the upper Aldan river, 1000 miles from Vlad- isvostok, but he was allowed to take with him only $100 when he sailed from Russian soil.
 T still have bank account in Fladisyostok, and the promise of the government that I can draw S106 d month as fong as tine ao- count lasts. but that is only a So- viet promise,o he added.
 Ashton arrived in the Aldan field six months before the government

learned about it. He said the soil is similar to that along the Yukon river, with pay dirt about twenty five feet deep. An average of two pounds of gold was taken by work ing shovel and rocker. Then the Soviet government stepped in and every man was made to exchange his gold for paper money.
 "The government took charge, hired men at s2 per day and pick eted them to collect the profits of the miners" said Ashton. Life in the gold fields was worse than anything I ever saw in twenty years in Alaska Murders were daily occurrences. Men lived like animals.
 What am I going to do? Why. I'm taking the next boat home to Alaska.

 William c. Grady, who knows the Gassiar probably as well as anyone said when discussing the probability of the truth of the rumor, "I don't know this man Yeats, but I have heard of him. He is supposed to be an Atlin man, and has been coming over for several years looking for this creek and I suppose that at last he has found it. anyway, 1 hope he has. Tn the district where the sup posed creek is supposedly located, there are a thousand creeks and they all look good. Not a one of them but is worth a mans time prospect I don't doubt the truth of the story at all and more than that, I fully expect to see a good many creeks found right in that section where a good prpspeetor can rock out 120 ounces in season, and this year as soon as we get things going good on Gold Pan I'm going to step out and find one for myself''

Rich Discovery That Did Not Get Into
 Press Reports

There is a persistent rumor in se- attle to the effect that a miner named Yeats made a rich discovery in the Cassiar last summer. Accord ing to the story, Yeats found a creek, described as being located about one hundred and fifty miles northeast of Telegraph Creek. Work ing alone he took out 12O ounces of dust and landed in Seattle with that amount.
 He was very seeretive about the location and extent of his find as he said that he had not yet staked the same. but would attend to this matter as soon as he returned in the spring with his partner.
 The gold was deposited with a se- attle hotel man and when MT. Yeats

local engagement will provide the
proof of its truthfulness.
Buster has taken a successful play
and picturized it on an elaborate
scale, retaining the novel plot and
adding scores of laugh provoking sit
uations which were impossible to
bring out on the stage.
In his new vest-buster the comed-
ian of the petrifed face displays
marked originality and swings free
of the ancient comic gag situations
on which some performers still de-
pend. The fun is fast, hilarious and
distinctive. The combination of plot
and star holds one without let-up,
while the backgrounds are some of
the most elaborate ever used in
comedy.
