Perhaps the little white spirit
was teasing, just as its master
did. Perhaps it had whiSked
behind her and was on it's way
home. Holding the lamp lower
now, peering into every Granny,
fearful lest she pass Dee-dee.
she made her way back to the
hong. But the spirit of Dee
dee had not returned. How had
she failed to find him with so
bright a light, she wondered in
her bewilderment, as she came
into the room, seeing the body
of Dee-dee lying Shrunken and
still.
The doctor had been too late.
Down the worn stairs of the
hong they carried the coffin,
not half a mans load. For a
moment they halted in the hall.
Above them on the wall hung
the picture of the great sky
Scraper of the Oil Company.
Then they moved on to the
white mans cemetery, a tiny
unsheltered spot among the rice
fields.
When the news of the Dee
dee's death reached the general
manager. the father in him
transcribed the corporation
servant. Emotion broke through.
Nothing too good. That place in
Shanghai that Mrs. Durham
had wanted.
What do I want of it now?"
said Elsie. 81 never intend to
have any more children. China's
no place for children"
The company felt her un-
grateful. Here she was offered
the finest place to live the
company had to offer, and yet
she was dissatisfied. How many
company people envied her!
On the steamer going to
Shanghai, Burnham tried to
forget his gratitude to Stephen.
1t gave him a feeling of I'M
easiness because of what he
had told Creighton-the man
sent to fill his place.
Hang it all. how could he
know that Creighton would
take the joke he had told on
Chase so seriously, dwelling on
the fact that man with a
salary such as Chase must
have, should hoard coppers,
even cash! most of us, of
course, when the servants do
an errand for us, Just let them
have the change, but not
Chase" Burnham had said.
"Oh, tight is he. with his
money!"
"Oh, WE'LL" thought Burnham.
''it doesn't make any difference.
What difference could it make
with a man who stands in, as
Chase does, with the company?
Some men got all the luck. AS
to Chase being his friend-after
all, who wouldn't show a little
kindness when a baby was suf-
ferinp?"

CHAPTER %

The transfer of Burnham had
not slowed down the company's
business for even a day. The
matter was arranged by tele-
gram. The steamer that took
the Burnhams away had
brought the exchange man,
Creighton. That night there
was the sound of lacking and
pounding in the rooms below
Hester. Creighton was busy get
ing his part of the hong ready
for his family. They would come
in a week or two when the heat
was over.
wait until you see my kids"
he told Hester at tea-time.
Three of them. Twin boys and
a girl. I've taught those two
boys to fight. Husky kids all
three of 'em. I'd risk 'em in
any city in China. We've got a
flock of goats, too. We're a self
contained unit. Pity about the
BurnhamS, but I guess they
didn't know how to manage"
Creighton asked all of the
company's people to go with
him to meet his family. Hester
disliked to be caught in the wild
rush of coolies for baggage, and
made the excuse that someone
should be at the hong to well
come Mrs. Creighton.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY TENTREss

Paris (UP)-street and sport clothes will be tailored and simple for the winter and fall season.
 Two types of these costumes promise to be popular judging from tn ecollections of the Big Houses -the three-piece sport suit, con- sisting of skirt, jacket and full topcoat. and the two-piece street costume, which consists of 8 tailor ed dress and heavy jacket or coat. Heavy, full-length capes frequently replace the outer coat or jacket.
 Lucien Lelong shows an attrac- tive outfit in gray tweed. A simple skirt is worn with a blouse of cream colored jersey and a vest of gray astrakhan fur. A long, full cape accompanied the outfit. This is made with three large tucks which run horizontally across the whole cape, midway between the shoulder Glinea and the hem, and a gray astrakhan collar trims the neck. ,s+
 From Lanvin comes street ensemble in gray wool. The dress is fashioned with prominent, round ed shoulders, created by means of inverted tucks, and is trimmed with a row of black buttons running from the high neck to. the waist. The small turnover collar. cuffs and the belt are. stitched, and the dress is worn with fingertip- length! coat of plaid in tones of iightsand dark gray.

ciency that person has craving for odd things. During expectancy the prospective mother may have such odd cravings, and this has no particular significance, at least 1t Is usually harmless peculiarity. such odd this has no particular significance, at least it is usually a harmless peculiarity.
 The popular explanation for such aberrant taste is that the individ- ual lacks something, perhaps min- (calcium), and the queer craving is natures cry for the element which Is Hacking.
 l don't know whether there is any foundation for this popular fancy. We might arrive at a better understanding of the matter if we could study the health status and metabolism of, say, a hundred chill dren with pica, and a hundred pro- pective mothers with pronounced cravings for odd things.
 More than ever before I incline to the Delief that nutritional de- ficiency has much to do with aber- rant appetite. This because we know now that there is 6 lack of mineral elements, notably calcium and phosphorus, as well as @ lack of vitamins, in a great many diets which we formerly considered well balanced and entirely adequate in all respects.
 Clay eaters in certain districts in the south are anemic, weak, poor, no account. Presumably they be- come infected with hookworm from swallowing alrvae in the clay they eat. But the usual mode of entrance for hookworms is via toe itch, or dew itch, the larvae set ting up dermatitis of the feet, particularly between the toes, and penetrating the skin, entering the circulation, being carried through the veins to the lungs, thence work ing up into the throat, so that they are swallowed and finally lodge in the duodenum. Another plausible explanation for the anemia of clay eaters in pellagra, from the notori- ous vitamin deficiency (particularly CD of the corn meal, tea, 'lasses and salt pork fare of many poor people in the south. Failure of ap- petite from diminished or absent gastric secretion is a common fea- ture of pellagra.
 One harmless, indeed beneficial remedy I would suggest for any one with such perverted taste: Chew and swallow a handful of plain wheat every day.
 Eat Then Sleep
 Have always had my AS kinder garten children rest or nap before lunch, as I thought 1t bad for one to sleep immediately after eating. (Miss II. w. R.)
 Answer-Young persons should eat, then sleep. Feeble or elderly persons had better not sleep right after eating. A child digests best and grows most while asleep.
 Exercise for Asthma
 What exercise did You recom- end for asthmatic sufferers? O.. D. M.)
 Answer - Natural breathing ex- ercise. Send stamped envelope bearing your address, inclose a dime, and ask for booklet "The Art of Easy Breathing" which tells all about it.
 SnufR
 Is snuff injurious to a mans health? have been told 1t contains some opium, and that makes 1t so hard to break the habit of using snufY. (Mrs. A. H.)
 Answer - It is no more or less injurious than any other brand of snuff. which is only tobacco pow dered. and contains no opium Using snuff is no more harmful than smoking or chewing tobacco. Copyright 1885. John F. Dille Co
