 T will, Chief" T he man in the gray suit raised a hand in Q ges- ture of farewell and turned toward the door.
 Gale Henderson, walking up the street slowly. watched the ball of flame that was the late afternoon sun slip behind the tree tops. It was a gorgeous sun. In 20 minutes I-perhaps less--the sky would be a riot of color.
 Sad that anything so beautiful as sunset should last such short time--or was it?"
 Gale thought, "The good things and bad things are so mixed up" It did seem true. For everything that caused happiness and made the world brighter must there al- ways be something equally sad Gale had good news tonight. She should have been happy. We'll she was. Of course she was happy, knowir Phil would be home the next day! The lawyer had told her so less than an hour earlier. The | Ad WySl niAO No5 DO and who had so little experience had done great things for Phil. He had worked hard-with impressive results.
 1 For one thing, he had discovered that the gun the policeman had taken from Phirs pocket, the one Phil was accused of firing had been bought less than six weeks before by Ed Vogel's friend, Stroude. He had also talked to a woman who had watched the street fight from nearby window. The woman said (and she was willing to give her testimony in court) that she had seen the gun in Stroude's hand just as someone struck him. The discharge, she was sure, was accidental and the revolver had not been aimed.
 And so Phil was coming home. Ed Vogel, still in the hospital, was growing stronger every day. Vogel was able to see company now, but his friend, Stroude had not paid him 8 visit. From all reports, Stroude has been missing from his haunts ever since Phil's law yer first began making inquiries. Phil was coming home and the young lawyer responsible was the one whom Steve Meyers had found and persuaded to take the case. Steve had done it, really and Steve was in his grave.
 
 Pain clutched at Gales heart, as it always did when she thought of Steve. The wound was fresh yet, open. Even now there were times when she caught herself thinking, T must tell Steve this," or "Id better ask Stevei--only to feel anew the stab of her loss.
 Gale. thought of what Josie had said about Steve that noon. Josie, in the cafeteria, had relayed ex- citing news. She had it, she ex- plained, direct from her friend in the business office. Josie had sworn solemnly to keep the secret but-well, of course Gale wouldn't tell.
 Josie's eyes grew round as she made her revelations. There's a man here,' she said, r." from Wash ington. From the government! He's going through all the files and making reports. Yes, of course Thatcher knows about it. but there isn't anything he can do. It's the government that sent the man here.

A Plea to Educated Fools

A Plea to Educated Fools Recently a woman of good ,edu-
 cation to judge by her letter, wrote to "pick a bone" with me. She said her health was excellent and 1 her family enjoyed fine health too,
 but her, motive for writing was to
 defend from my ridicule .sspeople who believe ini"autointo toxication"
 or "autotoxicosisp as the charala-
 tans now call it. Then the good
 woman went on to say that some twenty years ago she had entered upon the first year of the medi- cal course and she distinctly re-
 members that one of the freshman instructors always advised students to watch their "elimination" and keep their bowels open. so she
 felt it Is regrettable that I should deride the doctrine.
 For that matter, if we were to take them unawaress, a consider | own day would betray more or less | keeping the system clean." In- deed, in the first two or three year of practice I. myself followed the S00tOA anu 6eANC % S0AA0S VI NfAAN- | mel and saline cathartic to- almost
 every patient at the beginning, no

 idea that thorough cleaning out" woulud do good anyway. But after considerable experimentation became convinced thaht most pa- l tients got along as we'll or better without the preliminary physicking
 and I believe few physicians now follow the old custom.
 Then, too, have always had q
 penchant for trying things on the

 narrow escapes from, grave consc-
 quences, such as hashish poison | ing and cocain addiction. Thus, when l found that patients were as well off without physick I be- dependned on laxatives so much

took the production managers
arm and guided him diplomati-
cally off the set.
Later, as Julie and Mrs Arnold
concocted the flimsy camouflage
behind a screen, Julie suddenly
heard a familiar name:
Pennington. Isn't he some
kind of an artist or something's"
What about him? Let's see
the paper"
Divorce
Evidently two extra girls were
reading a newspaper as they
waited for the next scene.
HIN. These society danes
marry and divorce just as fast as
the movie gals, don't they?"
Julie twisted away from Mrs
Arnold, to listen far more in
tently.
"Sharlene standring. huh?
Didn't a millionaire give her the

Yeah. Kent Damerell. Read
this. He's back in town-and

"All you people on the set"
beloved the assistant director
through his megaphone.
"That'll dol" Julie said hastily
to Mrs. Arnold and rushed
around the screen to pick up the
scattered newspaper which the
girls had discarded as they saun-
tered to their places in the
cabaret.
There 1t WaS-pictures and
everything: Mrs. Stuart Pen
nington (nee Sharlene Stand
ring) has established residence
in Reno. :"
In the next hour of strenuous
work, Julie did not have time to
SAVIOR the delicious morsel of
news as she would have liked.
But her heart was singing, IF
Stuart is free-Oh. then! Oh,
then!"
About 8 o'clock a messenger
came out on the set. Mr..
Steinberg wants Miss De Wore
in his office as soon as she's
through working"
Mr.. Steinberg, the head of the
studio! Julie gasped and then
glanced guiltily down at her
form-fitting costume. Was he
going to order her to wear more?
Or maybe fire her!

He changed his mind. I'll go

her. Let's go where We can

Look at me. Sharlene!" She
turned her lovely, flushed face
to him. Are you happy?"
She shrugged and dropped the
lids over the tell-tale warmth of
her brown eyes. "Of counsel"
He seized her left hand and
doubled it to look at the we'd
ding ring. DO you love Pen

"Yes!" defiantly. Hes my

abruptly. His face became eager,
alive. The look he always wore

selves before him in a race.
He turned on her again.

for her. and jumped on the run
