The secret of keeping young Is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels there's no need of having a sallow compleXion-dark rings under your eyes-pimples-a bilious look in your face-dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in active bowels and liver.

for Nanny to admire, he was sud denly dreadfully afraid that she would see him. Here he was, home at last, yet afraid to meet Nanny face to face. Presently. he heard her footsteps coming along the lit tie path. Danny took to his heels. Then began funny game of hide and seek.
 | Danny was trying to keep out of Nanny's sight and Nanny was doing her best to get a good view of him. You see, when she had seen him attack the stranger there was something strangely familiar about I him. He had looked strangely like her beloved Danny. She couldn't believe that it was Danny. for she was sure that something dreadful had happened to him long ago; but ehe must make sure.
 Now somehow a great sense of shame had taken possession of Dan ny. He was ashamed to face Nan ny after having been away so long.
 
 he wasn't hiding from her, you know; he was hiding from himself. If he hadn't had guilty feeling he wouldn't have hidden. But he did have a guilty feeling and 50 he tried to hide. Time after time he thought that he was safely hidden only to have to take to his heels again. Nanny was persistent. But then, Nanny always had been per sistent Danny couldn't remember the time when Nanny hadn't had her way. It was just like her to persist in trying to find him.
 Now Danny was at a d'sadvan- tage. Nanny knew all the little paths and just where they led to. Danny didn't know where any of them over in that particular part of the Green Meadows before. Nanny had moved there while Danny had been away, so Danny never knew just exactly where he was coming out when he started along a little path. Two or three times the path ended abruptly and there was nothing for Danny to do but force his way through the long grass until he could find another little path. ! At last Nanny gave up and went back home. To be quite truthful, she hadn't given up. She merely meant to make Danny think she had given up. She is a very clever small person, is Nanny Meadow Mouse. The surest way 10 finding any one is to make him try to find you" said Nanny. as she climbed up to her home in the bush. You know il was an old nest of Brownie the Thrasher which she had roofed | over. AS soon as she was out Of sight inside she turned around and sat where she could look out through the doorway without being seen. He'll come back" said she to herself. "I know it. He'll come back. and then m get a good look at him. It IS queer how much like
 Danny he looked, Yes, sir. 1t Is | queer. If I didn't know that Dan
 ny must be dead. should say that that was Danny But, of course. it wasn't, or he wouldn't have hidden
 from me"

 Dicky's young niece is very like him in her lightning like changes from anger to mirth.. As the name Paul" feli from my lips, all the wrath and grieving reproach faded swiftly fom her lovely face. and she laughed in so care-free fashion that there swiftly vanished in her mirth, my last doubt of the truth. fulness of her astounding statement tn she never had spoken to any man except Jack Leslie.
 It was as great a triumph as a girls voracity could have. Her aunt and uncle. Harriet and Edwin Braithwaite had warned me that she was interested in a mysterious young man named "Paul' whom they had never seen but whose let ters to her and her answers they had found, fervid epistles which caused her relatives much concern. but about which she would tell them nothing.

 She drew g deep breath when she was safely outside the shop, and in the spangied dusk of Nicholson boulevard. She loved 1t on . crisp winters day like this-w1th the shop windows aglow with light and color. and the crowds hurrying by under the yellow blobs of lamplight with the sound of wheels and newsboyf shrill cries and hurryipg feet like tho very hum Of life itself. in her ears.
 That night she showed Jack the bills. when they were together in their bedroom before dinner. Jack rushed home from the Mills every night in his overails and changed at home, so as not to waste q moment away from her. She watched him tonight, as he sat in a deep chair and pulled off his old shoes with broken-nailed, grease-stained hands.
 "What an old peach you arew she said to him suddenly. thinking that he was worth dozen Done gals and stephen Mayhews oh, easily a dozen. She went across the room and dropped kiss on the back of his neck,

 Angela, herself, cams to the door. She was all in shimmering, white silk. an~ three or four strands of big pearls were iooped around her neck. She looked like a child'a dream of . Snow Queen as she stood there, and Honey Lou waA struck. as she often was, with her pure cold beauty.
 You're going out, aren't you7" she asked. T just stopped in to tell you that I showed Jack my bills tonight and that everything's all right I knew you'd be glad to hear It."
 Angela smiled.
 T told you everything would be all right, didn't r." she asked.
 Honey Lou nodded. You did. and you sure know your groceries" she declared, and Angela drowned little as she always did when Honey Lou used a slang phrase. I'm awfully glad I made clean breast of 1t. Now the bills will all be paid, and I feel like free woman again. Everythlng's off my chest, thank goodness"
 Did you remember to tell Jack that we'd seen Donegal couple of times, too. while you were con fessing to him?" Angela asked gently. "Or did you have sense enough to keep that to yourself?"

One of the most common oues- tons that disturbs the Sminds of many people is whether the mar riage of first cousins Is desirable. There Is sort of superstition that the offspring of such a union are bound to be defective either men, tally or physically.
 First cousins who have married watch with the greatest of anxiety to find out whether the children who are apparently heaithful and intelligent will begin to deteriorate as they increase in age.
 Acccntuating Types The actual facts are that close relationship of persons who are married Is likely to accentuate dominant characteristics in the off, spring, whether good or evil. Any traits manifested by the children are a reflection of the traits of their ancestors. If certain de- fleets are prominent. these will be developed with results that are dis astrous. Every person carries in his body not only evident character istics, but innumerable latent fea- lures which he himself has inherit ed from ancestors, but which have no. become manifest.
 When two such concealed tenden- cles are brought together. as is more likely to occur in cousin marriages than in the mating between unrelat- ed persons these latent characteris- tics are more likely to become fully expressed in the children. Revealing Traits Among the characteristics which l sometimes remain dormant in sound stock are epilepsy. various in- sanities and types of body structure associated with such diseases as tu- berculosis.
 As long as these tendencies are | dominated by more normal tenden- cies, they may do no harm, but the marriage of cousins may bring them to light
 There are few families that do not possess some undesirable hereditary | traits. If cousins decide to marry, they should do 60 with the knowl- edge of extra dangers that they inn pose on their prospective children. If each of the parents is sound physically and mentally and if the ancestry is apparently equally sound there are no more likely to be de- fective children from marriage of cousins than from any other mar riage. Desirable traits will be mani l desirable.

When Cherry was snuggled
drowsily into her pillows, Faith tip
toed to her own room, utterly weary,
her heart so tired with emotion that
it felt incapable Of hope or sorrow
or pity or love.
She stood for a moment, before
beginning to undress, at the open
window, through which, fiuttered the
first chill breeze of autumn. AS she
stood inert, too tired to move, she
was suddenly aware of a Negroes
voice, lifted to the stars in happy,
carefree song:

window to watch the big body Of the
singer lurching down the street.

the words. How could a just God
ever divide His children into "sin-

"a saint. Cherry had shown the saint
