 "I began to realize for the first time." Jim Elwell continued. that I had acted the part of 8 selfish. thoughtless cad in marrying you the
 way I did. Betty, and asking you to keep it secret. It wasn't fair to you, even if you hadn't come into a for 1 tune, for neither of you girls had ever gone around with any fellows except Dick Garfield and me-and I had no right to tie you up the way did. Dick did the honorable thing. Dick naturally would, ,
 "The upshot of the matter was that I told Mollie and Prof the l whole truth-that is, all except which girl it was I had married. 1 That they didn't know until just few minutes ago when Betty told them.
 I've talked the thing over and | decided it was only right and fair to give you your chance, Betty you know, a chance to get free. ! Knowing you pretty well, we felt reasonably sure that you wouldn't take the chance if it was offered to you in the ordinary way-that is, to | give you a divorce"
 He paused a moment while he | patted Betty's arm. So We decided I to let you go on believing me bug | house for a while-six months at | least. You were to have your fling to go to Europe and mix with | other men and if you found one l the right one-then I would have made it easy for you to get your 1 freedom And that's why Mollie wrote to you to tell you to go ahead with your European trip and forget about me. But
 "But-I fooled you, didn't I, Mister Fixit? Now you've got to go to Europe with your little wife and If she catches you flirting with any pretty nurses-war nurses, l mean we'll it won't be very healthy for you"
 Jim leaned back and smiled con- tentedly. blissfully aware of the fact that during a certain period of his living death" his actions had really given his mother cause for great anxiety and would have wor- ried his wife considerably if she had known more about them.
 Just the same, Jiln,' Martha Dal- ton spoke reprovingly, T think it was a mean trick to play on the girls. If you had seen these girls to- night when they were waiting for you to get home-honestly thought they would be nervous wrecks, both of them.

geia, the Health Magazine
 In 1927 a London physician Rich ard Bright, described a disease Of the kidneys that is now known as Erlght's disease, also as chronic in terstitial nephritis, which means q long continued inflammation of the tissues of the kidneys. These organs are charged pri- nlarily with separating waste sub. stances from the blood. When they become diseased they permit some of the material from the blood to leak through and a physi- clan, by simple laboratory tests, is able to detect the presence of such leakage
 Tonsils and Teeth
 It has been found that in many instances these inflammations come from infections of the blood Tn other parts of the body, par ticularly from the tonsils or teeth.
 In some diseases, particularly scarlet fever, there seems to be special tendency toward involve ment of the kidneys so that it is customary in scarlet fever to give a simple diet and to place as little burden upon the kidneys as pos sible.
 The approach of this disease is lnsidious. There are such symp- toms as paleness. swelling. nausea, headache or more serious mani festations.
 Most persons dig their graves with their teeth. Mos, Americans eat too much, especially too much meat, The waste products of such diets impose a heavy strain.
 After Forty
 regular physical examination should be made Of every person once each year after the age of 40, at which time his blood pres sure and other laboratory tests should be taken.
 If the symptoms are seen early. prompt attention to tho diet and habits of life will arrest the dis case. At the same time search is made for any spots of infection in the body which may bc sending germs through the blood to the kidneys, and as these are found they should be removed or con trollod.

 And without another word, he walked off the porch and down the street toward Grove Lane, where the widowed Mrs. Parkins lived. Five minutes later Andy Jerrold drove up before the house in one of his secondhand cars. Robbie never knew what kind of car Andy would come in. He sell dom arrived in the same one twice. The reason was that Andy made | his living by selling used" cars. 1 He had a flourishing business in a big white garage. halfway between Locust street school and the Ran som house.
 Andy was the kind of young man who is usually shown in collar ads and clothing ads. and nowhere else. He was very tall and dark and handsome and not too young. Twenty-nine, to be exact. His hair was brown and his skin
 was tanned to ,. lighter shade of the same color. His eyes were dark gray. an1 they lighted up when he smiled, and his teeth ! flashed.
 Andy was the kind of man that men and children and dogs like the kind that all women fall for = and the kind that falls for only one woman. For him that One Woman was Robbie Ransom. His gray eyes were on her as he came up the front walk between the> hedges of four o'clocks that Aunt Gertrude had planted. He was singing the song called ! Barcelona" as he came--the part that goes:
 ''She loves me, I know, For told her so.'
 That was the way things were with Andy Jerrold and Robbie. He was always telling her that she loved him and that the thing she ought to do wse marry him and settle down with him to be happy. He couldn't see things in any other way.
 And Robbie couldn't see them his way. That was the hitch.
 She liked Andy, and she thought he was a looking thing. But that was all.
 Yet she was not above flirting with him-leading him on-and then pulling him up with jerk. Almost any girl will treat 8 man i that way. if he's too much in love with her, and shows it.
 Tonight she looked up at him through the purple dusk with wide and soft-smiling eyes.
 Hello, you great tall tree!" she
 greeted him. Did you come to take me out dancing or do you want to sit on the top step with
 me and listen to my troubles? I'm going to ask you to do me tre-
 mendous favor."
