veritscn Tells Madge Why He
 Spurns His Son

May I talk to you about him ?"
 The words were cry, straight from the soul of Philip Veritzen, who was reported to have that pos session under perfect control, and never to exhibit it's workings to any human being. But l am familiar enough with suffering and heart break 10 detect their echoes, and never had heard them more clear ly than in the voice of the man op- posite me. It was the first time, moreover, In all our close assocla- ton of work that I had caught a glimpse of the real man behind the ity which Philip Veritzen presented to his world, and I thrilled to the Knowledge.
 My pulses were throbbing to some had come to me when I first saw Noel Veritzen's sensitive face etched with the lines which mental torment brings the hope that sometime l might be instrumental in effecting a reconciliation between the boy and est chlmera then, that hope, for Philip Veritzen was then to me a man wrapped In mystery and almost insufferable pride. But. since then we had shared that most barrier breaking Of all associations, com jtu 1S nnu1I help the knowledge that Philip Yer itzen liked me and enjoyed my com panionship to a degree somewhat disturbing. The fact that he had asked to tell me of the boy was a revelation in itself of his attitude toward me, for he was reputed to be exceedingly chary of his con- fidences, and Dicky has said that no one ever dared to mention Noel Veritzen's name to his father after tho college episode resulting in the boys expulsion.
 "Oh. If You Would!"
 It was with all of this knowledge and tremulous hope in my heart that involuntarily I put out my hands toward him across the table in an earnest little gesture.
 "Oh, if you would!" I breathed, and the tragic lines of his face melt cd into smile. He put his hand over mine for the merest fraction of an instant, taking it away again As mine stirred in a withdrawal as impulsive as my first gesture had, been. For suddenly I had realized that I was in public restaurant, and that casual observer might in- terpret our colloquy as love scene.
 T suppose you know the sordid story" he said, his lips twisting in wry distaste. Will you tell me what you do know. Just a second. When the waiter goes"
 The man took our order and when he had gone away again, l said quietly.
 q really know very little. My husband told me that your son had been" I hesitated.

more he thought it all over the more it puzzled him.
 He wished he had rushed after Heath as he went away, wished he had raised an alarm, even if he hadn't caught the man. The story was fishy,-that's what it was,- fishy. And there he had had chance to distinguish himself by catching and holding the elusive Perry Heath, and he had let the chance slip through his fingers. He should have grabbed the man, and called for help from the servants of the Anderson household. Those ser wants were so we'll trained that they would never come unless summon ed, but cry of alarm would have brought them to his aid. He ought to have held Heath prisoner, at least until he could have proved his story, or had Larry Inman called in to dis prove it!
 Altogether, Al Cunningham was pretty well disgusted with himself, and in his brain was a half formed resolution to say nothing of the matter to Anderson.
 This was a dangerous thing to do, for Heath had commanded him to repeat his version of the affair, and at heart, Cunningham was bit of a coward.
 He was afraid of Heath, who had seemed very stern and determined. On the whole, it would doubtless be better to tell Anderson the whole story. He would blame him, for not nabbing Heath, but that could not be helped now.
 He was still mulling over the mat ter, when Anderson arrived.
 Hello" he said, glad to see you Cunn,. Sorry to be a bit late, but I had to take a detour. And I'm hungry as hunter. Come on in the house with me. and we'll have a bit of supper together, while we talk. Though I've little to tell and I suppose you have less. The thing is getting on my nerves. It really begins to look desperate for the lit- tie girl. I heard"

Breakfast - Baked pears, ce- real, thin cream, crisp rye toast, soft cooked eggs. milk, coffee.
 Luncheon Stuffed tomatoes, graham bread, grapes. plain cake, milk. tea.
 Dinner Swiss steak, mashed potatoes, string beans, pineapple and cottage cheese salad, graham roly- poly, Parker house rolls, milk, coffee.
 Since the dinner dessert uses graham flour in it's composition, rolls made with white flour are suggested.
 There are innumerable ways of stuffing tomatoes for baking, but the following suggestion is par ticularly good. Ramekins, custard cups, or muffin rings are a help in baking tomatoes since they prevent falling apart during the cooking.
 Stuffed Tomatoes
 Four medium sized tomatoes 3-4 cup cooked macaroni, 1 tea spoon minced onion, tablespoons grated cheese, buttered crumbs.
 Wash and cut slice from the stem end of the tomatoes, scoop out seeds and sprinkle inside with salt. Invert on a plate and let stand on ice for l hour. The skins will slip off after baking. Strain the pulp to remove the seeds and combine with macaroni, onion and cheese. Fill tomatoes with this mixture and sprinkle with buttered crumbs. Place in a buttered bak- ing dish, add a few tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon butter and bake 30 minutes in moderate oven. Serve from baking dish.

 Reddy walked over and looked. It was a very tiny Crab. It didn't have any pinching claws and it's legs looked too weak for 1t to walk around. It was a teeny weeny Crab"
 Guess again." retortod Graywing. That Crab is fully grown
 Reddy's eyes opened very wide. "l hate to say that I don't believe you, said he, but you can see for your self that this Crab can't run around. It isn't big enough yet"
 That isn't 8 he retorted Gray wing. That Is Mrs. Crab, and 1t is quite true that she can't run around, nor swim around. She doesn't have to and she doesn't want to. You never saw her before. did you?"
 "No." replied Reddy. 'I never did.'
 Well you wouldn't see her now if it hadn't been that somebody opened an Oyster, and she fell out"
 You should have seen how promptly Reddy's sharp ears pricked up. What do you mean by fell out of an Oyster?'" asked he,
 T mean" replied Graywing. that this is Mrs. Oyster Crab, and she has lived nearly her whole life with in an Oyster shell, with an Oyster. She went in there when she was n baby, and she never left there after. That is why she hasn't any strength in her legs, nor any pinching claws. She hasn't any use for them. You think those Hermit Crabs are well protected in those shells they carry around with them, but those shells are nothing compared with Oyster shells"
 Does she live on the Oyster?" asked Reddy.
 No" replied GraywinG, "she lives with the Oyster. They arc the best of friends"
 Imagine" chuckled Reddy, "any one having an Oyster for a friend" Copyright. 1926, by T. w. Burgoss)

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
REMEMBER YOUR FTIQUET WHEN VISITING A PATIENT

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of Hygeia the Health Magazine In every community there are certain persons who may be de- pended on to greet the announce ment of sickness in the neighbor- hood with something less than the usual amount of depression. To them 1t means an opportunity 10 exhibit the grandest raiment that the wardrobe affords and to de- scend at once upon the home of the bed-riddcn individual.
 There they plant themselves sub stantially in the sick-room and proceed to entertain the patient, who is likely 10 derive far less amusement from the visit than is the visitor himself. In this instance the feminine pronoun may prob ably invariably be used, although every lodge or brotherhood has its visiting sick committee, with a few of this genus in the masculine gen. der, who may be relied on to ruin at least one-half day each week in the pleasant pastime that has been mentioned
 There are some sick people who are not disturbed by visitors, and who seem to enjoy i'll health. They are not, however, in the majority.
 Learn Etiquet
 Probably the reason why most inyalids prefer to be left alone, eX- cept for the visits of those with whom they are intimate, is the fact that few persons seem 10 have learned sick-room etiquet. For much the same reasons physicians are inclined to look with disiavor on too much visiting on their pa tients. and most hospitals nowa- days limit definitely the number of visitors that may call on any pa tient.
 In general, the sickness Of the patient is a subject that should be taboo in the sick-room. If the in valid himself wishes to talk about it, the visitor may listen patiently and with interest, but depart into some more amusing topic at an early opportunity.
 This does not mean that the visitor need initiate a dialect com edian or q short story teller. be- cause person whose tonsils have just been removed or who has 15 to 20 stitches in his abdominal wall cannot enjoy Q hearty laugh.
 Conversation should not be too extensive or too rapid. The mind of the sick person is dulled 10 some extent and occupied with his own troubles to a large extent. He finds

Expelled from college for theft" he finished bitterly. T don't won- der you hesitate"
 "Only because Of hurting you," said stoutly. An accusation like that should not be lodged but brought out Into the open especially when the innocence of the accused is beyond question In the minds of those who know him best"
 I looked at him steadily, and his eyes famed.
 "Then you know that I do not | believe him guilty" he said. You have discovered more than the boy himself has"
 Madge Calls Veritzen Stubborn
 That is because of your obstin- acy and his" I said boldly. MT. | Graham said that there was no ques- ton in the minds of those who knew the boy that he was chival- rously shielding someone, and that Jack Leslie took advantage of that fact to duplicate Noel in the thefts for which he was expelled from col lege."
 T could not soil your ears" MT. Veritzen said measuredly, with the epithets which properly belong to the name Of Jack Leslie. The boys were not friends, they had nothing in common, but they were rivals in schoolboy fashion for the favor of one of the girls in the college town, pretty and good enough little thing, I fancy, but with the men, tality of mole. Because of this rivalry. Noel felt that he must try to shield Leslie, even though one of the things which the dastard stole was an heirloom, valuable ring given Noel by his mother, whom he idolized. But l could not see any such Quixotism, and I hurried to the college and helped to get the evidence which caused Leslie's ex- pulsion. But though Leslie knew that Noel had refused to do any thing against him, he was so enrag- ed at me, that he deliberately ac- cused Noel of being his accomplice and presented such proofs that the faculty were compelled to eXpel Noel also, chiefly because the boy would neither affirm guilt or deny it. I am sure that the girl was in volved in some way, and that Les lie gave Noel his choice of silence against the accusations, or a drag ging in of the girls name"
 And believing your boy capable of such sacrifice, you shut him out of your life," I said, my voice heavy with scorn.
 Piano! piano! old dear," drawl- ing familiar voice behind me ad- yised. Your expostulation is dis tinctly audible four tables away. Hello, Veritzen! Take my advice and don't get her stirred up about any question of duty to man or beast. She's not quite sane when she's riding that hobby" Startled, I looked up to see Dicky standing beside the table.
