A startled. frightened look came
into Chatty's wide green-gray eyes.
What makes you think they w-e

Agnes made an impatient little
movement with her shoulders. BE

she explained. THE person who
took the diary took the keys to get
at the diary for nothing else
in the world"
"Wait till the rest Of the folks
get down to the office. Maybe some
body knows something about it,"
Chatty advised her cody.
Then she swung around on her
chair and faced her. When did you
miss the book. Agne5?" she asked.
And when did you get 1t back?"
But Agnes could not answer eth
er Of those questions.
II don't write in the diary every
day." she said. in a puzzled sort Of
way. And I've been busy lately
with those lost keys and one thing
and another-and so I didn't real

Chatty shook her head, looking
at the black covers and the few
pages that were left in the book.

tell you something about II when
she comes down." she said, COM
fortingly. although she knew that
no one but herself could really tell
her anything about the book-her-
self and. Dave Jordan.
She was thinking about him when
the door from the hall opened and
he walked into the office.
He was carrying his hat and a
roll Of dark leather that Chatty
knew was her handbag.
His eyes we're on Chatty's face as
he came walking across the wide
office TO her and Agnes.
Whats the matter?" he asked
his eyes going from Chatty's face
to Agnes drawn. white one. Some
thing wrong, Agnes?"
The girl nodded. Il kept a diary

Il kept 1t hidden under the paper
In my bottom drawer" her voice
broke and she put her face down
into her hands. The remnants OF
the diary fell TO the floor.
Dave stopped and picked them UP.
He turned and looked down at
Chatty. and his boyish, high-colored
face looked tired all at once.

and laid ii down on the desk be-
fore her. Il found it in my a this
morning. . Some of the things
that were in 1t had fallen out and

Chatty knew that he was telling
her that he had put Agnes torn

her desk. and her heart seemed TO
turn to stone in her breast.
Hes found me out" she told
herself unhappily. "He knows / took
that diary out Of Agnes desk. he
knows I'm a sneak and q liar 49,.
And all at once she hated her
self. She hated herself. not for be-
ing a sneak and a liar" but be-

And no n knows ! know you took
the book. See?"
Chatty did see.
And she saw something else. She
saw that his whole attitude-his
whole feeling for her-had changed
since the night before. when he had
held her close to him IN his hard
young arms. He was angry with
her. Angry and disgusted-and puz-

and misty with tears.

Chatty never knew how she kept
herself from going to pieces at the
sight OF the little black book that
she had left in Dave Jordan's road
ster the night before.
Her brain felt Is IL It were a

Of course. he had come upon Agnes

Charlotte Chatterton. nicknamed

Dave Jordan. a young bond sales

Billie Langenau. in charge Of the

Chatty repeats what Billie said, she
adds a lie OF her own to it-and
says that Billie told her that Dave
and Agnes were in love with each
other. Agnes threatens to tell MI.
Van that Billie has been gossiping
about her. and Chatty determines to
stop her II she can.
Finally she steals Agnes desk keys
and goes through her desk. trying TO
find a note she has seen Dave hand
to her. The note is innocent enough.
but Chatty finds Agnes diary while
she is hunting for it-and in the
diary Is the whole story of Agnes

the pages at home that night and
sends them to Mrs. Van. Agnes does
not discover the theft at once.
Billie and her sister. Sara. come

We have been having intensely
hot weather for several days. Know
ing my own discomfort, I am inn
PEELED to talk to you a little about
your special hot weather habits.
You may scott at this and say,
How absurd" But We do practice
habits I'm summer that we never
think Of in other seasons.
You would not think Of deliber-
ately sitting in a draft In the winter
time. Neither would you expose
yourself to the danger OF frostbite
or its equivalent.
Yet in summer when you are
overheated. you sit before IN cleo
trio fan or In a direct breeze. OF
course, it Is the most tempting
thing to do. But 1t is a dangerous
thing. too.
The food you take. too. should be
given special consideration in sum-
mer. 1t Is unwise to eat the heavy,
rich foods which heat the blood.
Such foods make the entire system
work hard, unduly hard for q hot
day.
Dainty. tempting meals, consist
ing Of jellied or hot soups. as you
prefer, plenty Of fruit, vegetables.
salads and the lighter desserts, are
called for on these hot days. Eat
meat only ono q day and then
sparingly.
Beverages are necessary and per-
fectly proper to take, but they
should be taken when the body is
not o%verheated. Between meals Is
the time for cold drinks.
DO not expose the body to the d.
rect rays Of the sun for too long
periods. If you must be out-of-
doors give your head and body ade-
quate protection. i need hardly re-
mind you that the clothing and
headgear should be light in weight.
Frequent baths add to the COM
fort. But do not jump into a tub
Of cold water when the body Is over
heated. Wait a half hour or SO to
cool off, then battle and change to
fresh clothing.
Until you become accustomed 20
the extreme heat you should exer-
else in moderation. You can grad
ually do more &C the body becomes
used to the change in temperature
Exercise temperance and common
sense. This is the season when
caution Is demanded.
