 First of all, will you explain how your -gloves and handbag found their way into Mir. Benson'e house? :? Their presence there has been prey ing most distressinly on the District Attorneys mind.'
 She turned a direct, frank gaze upon Markham.
 "I dined with MT, Benson at his invitation. Things between us were not pleasant, and when We started for home, my resentment of his at titude increased.
 At Times Square I ordered the chauffeur 10 stop-I preferred re- turning home alone. In my anger and my haste 10 get away, l must have dropped my gloves and bag. It was not until Mir. Benson had driven off that I realized my loss, and having no money, I walked home. since my things were found in MT, Benson's house. he must have taken them there himself"

really believes guilty He indicated Markham with 2 slight movement Of the head,
 The District Attorney here does not wholly agree with me. But then, 1T ye see. the legal mind is in credibly rigid and unreceptive once it has been invaded by a notion. 1 You will remember that, because you were with Mir, Alvin Benson on his last evening on earth, and for other reasons equally irrelevant and trivial, MT Markham actu'liy i thing to do with the gentleman's death"
 He gave Markham q smile of wag- gish reproach, and went on:
 Since you, Miss St. Clair, are the only person whom Captain Lea cock would shield so heroically. and since l, at least. am convinced Of your own innocence, will you not clear up for Us a few Of those points where your orbit crossed that of Mr. Benson? Such information cannot do the Captain or yourself any harm, and it very possibly will { help 10 lanish from Markham's s mind his lingering doubts as to the Captains innocence" Nance's manner had an assuag- | ing effect upon the woman; but could see that Markham was boil ing inwardly at Nance's anmad- versions on him, though he re- trained from any interruption.
 Miss st. Clair stared steadily at Vance for several minutes.
 "I don't know why I should trust you, or even believe you," she said evenly: but now that Captain Lea cock has confessed, T was-afraid he was going to, when he last spoke should not answer your questions. . Do you truly think he Is in nocnnt2"
 The question was like an involun- 'ary cry; her pent-up emotion had broken through her carapace Of calm.
 T truly io,' Vance avowed soberly. "Mr. Markham will tell you that before we left his office l pleaded with him 10 release Cap tain Leacock. T. was with the hope that your explanations would con- vince him Of the wisdom Of such course, that I urged him to come here"
 Something in his tone and man. ner seemed 10 inspire her confi- dcnce.
 What do you wish to ask mc?" she asked.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS TISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of lily.
 geia, the Health Magazine.

Tn the abdomen lies a large pulpy organ known as the spleen. which. according to popular tradition, has some association with emotions of anger. The. phrase to went ones spleen" had relationship to release Of wrath.
 Strangely enough the exact func- tions of this orgah in the human body have not yet been satisfactor- fly determined although much time and money have been spent in re- search.
 Not long ago certain investigators asserted that the spleen could be observed in contraction under cer- tain conditions. The theoretical ex- planation was offered that this con traction was due to a discharge of blood from the organ.
 Blood Cells Theory,
 For some time it has been thought that the organ was especially cdh- cerned with the chemistry of the blood and with the manufacture of new blood cells. Quite recently Brit ish investigators have developed some ingenious experiments which thrown new light on the functions of the organ.
 In animals 1t Is possible to insert a celluloid window into the body and to watch the function. of the organ directly. It is also possible to study it's relations under the N-ray, par ticularly when air or gas is injected into the abdomen. Again it is possi- ble to transplant the organ outside the abdominal cavity and thus to observe it's action under various con- ditions.
 The organ is tnsensitive. T. seems to be involved In the control of the blood volume. If an animal exercises severely the spleen shrinks due to the discharge of blood from it into the circulation. In exercise also it contracts and seems to act q a sort of fine adjustment toward controlling the amount of blood in circulation.
 Reservoir of Blood.
 II |. possible for the human body 10 supply blood to one organ at the expense of another. The British observers found that in the most active exercise Of which an animal is capable, the kidney may be de- prived of blood to the extent of be- ing actually injured.
 Obviously it is desirable to have a reservoir like the spleen 10 take care Of adjustments and prevent damage 10 an organ of the import ance of the kidney.
 In times Of great struggle the physiologists point out, it is desir- able that the animal should sur vive as the result of muscular strength, even though some damage 10 the kidney may result. The mus cles must have the last ounce of blood they can get, 1T order to save the animals life.
 In less severe occasions the spleen can provide the extra blood needed and save the draw that otherwise

 "Who?" asked Little Petite.
 "Your father Peter Rabbit" re- piled his mother. He is somewhere up here in the Old Pasture, but I don't know just where"
 What is he doing up here?" de- manded Little Pete. Doesn't he live with you down in the dear Old Briar patch? I've kept away from the dear old Briar- Patch because I knew if belonged to you folks. Have you left it?'
 "Not eHactly.' replied his mother, leatating little 'I'm up here just on q visit, a sort of visit. You didn't say whethcF you had seen your father or uot.
 No, I haven't seen him" replied Little Pete. "What is more I don't want 10 sec him up here in the old Pasture. We've come up here 10 live and we don't want 10 be crowded. If I see him I shall tell him so.'

I knew very well that, in Dichy' parlance, there was not the stightest use of my high hating Mary con- corning the mystery which sur rounded Eleanor Lincoln, which she evidently was planning to discuss with me. The keen eyes ot Dicky young niece, sharpeucd by her jealousy. had shared my opportgni- ties Tor observation of the mistress q. The Larches, and the eager, knowing query which she just had yoieed told me that she had neglect ed no angle Of those opportunities.
 There was but one thing 10 do, and that was 10 discuss the bizarre affair with her with proper grown lp" solemnity. Indeed l was not sorry to avail myself of her fresh, keen young viewpoint upon the mys- tcry which was so intriguing me.
 "Yes, my dear young cat" said, smiling, and purposely emphasizing the noun. T not only heard the Lin- coin dame when your uncle pro- posed sketching her with the wolf hound. but I saw her and observed how the proposal affected her. I don't mind telling you that the young woman. actions are occupying d good share Of my thoughts just now. I'm all at sea. I wish you'd tell me what you think of it all"
 She flushed al my gibe, but an- sTered il promptly.

 Such q happy reunion as there the Old Pasture. Mrs. Peter RaD- bit had, you know, met a stranger, and the stranger proved to be one of her own children, who when he was little had been called Little Pete. Now he was as big as his father, Peter Rabbit, and quite as fine-looking as Peter ever had been. Little Mrs. Peters heart was filled with pride as she looked at him. It had been long. long time since hn left the dear old Briar- pitch to go out into the Great World, and his mother had heard nothing from him in all this time. But that Is nothing against him, for this is the way Of rabbits.
 "Is your home up here in the Old Pasture?" inquired Mrs. Peter.
 Ut hasn't been, but it is going to be from now on" replied Little Pete "I have just come up from the Green Forest
 Then you haven't been around in the old Pasture q great deal" said little Mrs. Peter. "I take if you haven't met your grandfather, old Jed Thumper, who thinks that the Old Pasture belongs 10 him.

Well Equipped For Position

As a prelude to thorough reorganization Of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, President Coolidge has
named Eugene Meyer as head Of this important
bureau Mr.. Meyer is cmnently qualified to direct
the activities of this board during most crucial
period of its existence. There has been much COM
plant in the past about the operation of the Fed
era Farm Loan Board. 1t is evidently President
Coolidge's intention to reorganze thoroughly this
bureau Of the government in the hope that it might
function smoothly in behalf of farm aid Most
Of the trouble has arisen because of the difference
of-opinion regarding the handling of the farm loan
business. Several members of the board have
resigned as a result of frequent clashes ad-
mnistrative problems.
Eugene Meyer is not stranger to the northwest
AS member Of the War Finance Corporation, he
into intimate contact with the many problems
of the northwest. He has wide acquaintance
among North Dakota bankers, and made Il very
favorable impression upon the financial men of the
state during the war. His past experience should
fit him to meet the many and pcrplexing problems
of the Farm Loan Board.
Mr. Meyer was formerly Los Angeles banker
entering the government service in 1917. The APP
pcntmcnt cannot be regarded political one,
as President Wilson, Democrat, selected him to
head the War Finance Corporation Mr.. Meyer
engaged also in many ether activities having
to do chiefly with the financial aspects of the World
War Mr.. Meyer has a splendid opportunity con-
fronting him, and he will doubtless receive the
hearty cooperation of the agricultural sections He
has the confidence of the banking institutions of
the nation. The appointment seems most opportune.
