TOdGy's True
Story

In a way this is the story of
a supposed gold digger and
again it's the story of Pauline
Rolston, who was As and not
good looking, in contrast to her
husband, Daniel, who Wss so
and red-cheeked, tall, erect and
vigorous.
The Rolstons, had lived to-
gether, man and wife, for Is
years, ever since Daniel, then a
miner in the old Mexican mine,
had marrid Pauline, who waited
on tables at Joe's place on
Main Street.
Pauline was good looking at
2O-with a wealth of golden
hair, smiling blue eyes and lips
that needed no lipstick. Every
one said Dan was a lucky chap
to win her and he thought so
himself.
For the first 10 years they
lived near the mine in a little
frame house sadly in need of
repair. "You can't keep a good
man down." Dan kept saying,
depositing all he could save in
the Postal Bank instead Of in
the village saloon.
A High School Graduate
Pauline, who had been
through high school, read to
him in the evenings, opened
his mind to thousand and one
things he'd never dreamed Of,
and in the meantime denied
herself everything that even
smacked of luxury so that Dan
could put that much more
away.
Her only thought in life was
for her husband to get ahead.
When Dan was made assistant
superintendent of the mine she
continued to do her own wash
ing and all her housework.
And then after 10 years the
big chance came. Neither OF
them knew it was a chance
then-not such a big chance.
An old prospector came to Dan
with a story of a find in a re-
mote part of the hills. He was
broke and SICK, all he needed
was $1,000. He showed Dan
samples and Dan knew ore. He
went up and investigated, and
uybot bn saw led him to stake
the thousand for the claim
duly attested.
His Fatal Spree
The prospector went on a
spree with the cash and was
picked up dead the following
week and Dan used the last of
his savings to dig down into
the claim. Pay ore was close
to the surface; enough to pay
for bigger operations. He

THE OTHER WOMAN

shrugged. That's my wife"
he said, and went on with his
conversation.
mot a very devoted husband,
are you?" she said.
Listen" said Dan, It'd be to
you-you're the only woman I
ever loved I'D give my last
cent, too, if you take me
mean IT,"
Fiji laughed-"I've heard men
talk BEFORE" she said: "first
you'd have to get a divorce, then
you'd have to make a good fat
settlement on me, and then
well, we'd see what we'd see."
Dan ROIStOn's Decision
It'll do all of that" said Dan
Rolston-"I'll start the ball roll
ing tonight" He cached across
and laid a hot hand on Fifi'S
slender one. She didn't draw
her hand away.
Pauline knew what was COM
ing. Her face was lined deeper
than ever with the pain of what
Dan asked her. 1T was all a
mistake" said he. "I'll settle
an income on you-five thou
sand a year and you'll be happy
enough" Pauline was looking
at him. There was something
in her eyes that made him
stop. But she nodded and the
next morning was headed for
Reno.
The Rolston divorce excited
considerable comment and the
rumors connecting Fiji Della
mater with RolSton a good
many more. Fiji was starring
in a Broadway success and peo-
pie asked if she's give up her
crown of glory just for a lot of
money.
It seemed she would until the

The two stateS-increased
and decreased secretion, hyper
thyperthroidism and myxoe-
dema-present a remarkable
contrast in the effects of dis
ease on the body.
The general appearance Of
two such persons is striking.
The hyperthyroid individual
gives the appearance of being
abnormally wide awake-excited
or frightened. The eyes are
wide or staring or even bulging
in the extreme states. The mus

Sponses are rapid and eXcitable.
Patients Appear Sleepy
The myxoedema patients are ex-
actly reversed from this. You
would think they were always
half asleep. The eyes are half
shut, the face is slothful and
sluggish. Muscular movements
are slow and deliberate. Men
tally they take little interest in
anything.
Increased activity almost in
variably causes weight loss. The
myxoedema patient, on the con-
trary, has a general increase in
weight, the skin acquires pc
culiar thick condition, from
which the name, myxoedema is
derived.

Advice to LOvelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax

peach of girl, and I took her
away from two or three other
admirers. We live in the same
city and not more than two
blocks apart. AS I have to
pass her house quite frequently,
I used to see a lot of her. But,
Miss Fairfax, I couldn't show
her those attentions like giving
her flowers, candy, taking her
out, which all girls love to have
Showered on them. The reason
is, that I've had to have a lot
of dental work done and the
price of it has been so high
that can't spend an extra
nickel. I'm embarrassed about
telling her this, and she thinks
I'm a tightward and will hardly
speak to me now. I've had a
lot Of meals at her house and
have gone out in her dads
car, so I owe her a good deal
in the way of treats. I am
paying the dentist so much out
of my pay envelope every week,
and I'm losing my girl. Tell
me something, the way you
do the rest of the young peo-
pie.
DESPERATE BILL
First thing, Desperate Bill,
ask your dentist to have q
heart. Tell him his demands
for a weekly settlement are
losing you your girl, and say
that you'd like to keep a bit
more out of your pay envelope
now and then and have your
bill spread over a longer period.
Tell the girl all about it, and,
if you find it hard to explain,
write her and tell her why
you've seemed to be a tight
wad.
Invite her to a good show
and take her to supper after
ward. Do this at least once
or twice, even if the dentist has
to wait a week or so longer.

Which Shall She Choose?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I took quite a liking to a
young man whom I met last
summer; he was here for about
eight months, then had to leave
for his home town on account
of losing his position. He told
me he cared for me and I liked
him better than any man I'd
ever gone with. He asked me
to promise that I wouldn't go
out with any other men after
he left here, and he said he
wouldn't go with any girls. ]
kept my promise for three
months, then got tired of going
out with girls all the time. I
wrote to him and he sends me
gorgeous gifts. Later I met
another young man who has
asked me to keep STEADY COM
pany'' with him. He is very
Intelligent and has a business
of his own, although he is not
handsome as my other friend.
Shall I drop the first friend
and stop corresponding or drop
the gentleman who has his own
business. UNDECIDED.
Without realizing it, it seems
to me, you are putting the ques-
ton to yourself, shall I keep
on with a poor young man I'm
really fond of, or throw him
over for one whose prospects
are better? Why do either?
Why regard every young man
you meet as a finality? Don't
be in such a hurry to sign up
for life-wait till you can de-
eide which one you care more
about. In the meantime, you
might meet a third young man
whom you may like better than
either.

A gland like the thyroid may
60 wrong one Of three ways.
It may produce too much secre-
ton, it may produce too little
or it may produce a different
secretion than in health.
Usually when the gland is
secreting too much secretion
it is enlarged. And when it Is
inactive it is smaller than nor
NAL. But this is not always so.
Sometimes there is found un.
mistakable evidence Of eXces-
sive thyroid activity when the
gland itself is not found en-
larged either to sight or feel
ing. On the contrary, very
large colloid golfers may be
very inactive in producing thy
roid secretion and a state Of
decreased function present.
Its Technical Names
The disease in which there is
increased secretion is called by
various names - eXophthalmic
goiter, hyperthyroidism and
Graves disease, after one Of its
early DISORDERS, Robert Graves,
of Dublin. The state of de-
creased thyroid activity is
called myxoedama if it comes

Acknowledging Messages Of
Sympathy

Sympathy
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I always look at your column
with so much interest, and you
answer all questions so kindly,
that I have taken courage to
ask you to tell me the correct
answer to this:
A friend of mine lost her
mother some time ago. Three
ladies sent their cards through
the mail to her. She sent
them letters in return, very
formal. Should she have an
Swered and if so, should she
not have written a friendly
letter. not in the third per
son? A FRIEND.
Thank you for your kind
words. And welcome to the
column. now and whenever IN
the future you will let me chat
with you about any question
that is in your mind.
Since their way of telling her
their sympathy was formal, I
suppose that she thought that
formal acknowledgment was
adequate. Many people now
use the formal, engraved &C
acknowledgement cards for thank
ing for expressions Of sympathy,

clear-he'd called it after his
wife-and the money came
rolling in in a golden flood.
Pauline wept with the sud-
denness and the happiness of
it. At last Dan had arrived.
He was a rich man-they could
travel noW-they could do all
the things she had dreamed
they might do if they only had
money.
Stranger phenomena have
come to pass. From the day
that Dan realized he was on
the road to millions, he became
a different man. He looked at
Pauline with different eyes.
There were lines in her face he
hadn't noticed before, and her
hands were callous in places
where she'd toiled so he could
save And her figure wasn't
the slender one that had made
her look like a sapling 10 years
before.
Enter Miss Fiji
They came to New York and
put up at a swanky hotel, and
Dan started to live, but he had
no place for Pauline in his
scheme of things, and that's
where Fiji Delamater enters the
story.
Fiji was all that Pauline was
not, young and slim and allur-
ing and sparkling, and she won
Dan so completely that what
ever she said was law.
Of course she knew about
Pauline, and Pauline knew
about her. It happened when
