REAb THIS FIRST:

Out of a job. and asked to leave her
boarding house because Of the wide
publicity she received as the result of
an attempted prison break, Iona
Alderman is almost desperate because
she cannot, Ocate Jim Claridge, the
only friend she has left. Just before
Iona sped to the penitentiary to see
her dying father serving a life term
for murder. she and Jim had fallen in
love. AT the warden's house during her
visit to the prison, two escaping con-
victs force her into the warden's car
and make a safe getaway until Iona
crashes. Only slightly hurt. she finds
her father has died in the meantime.
After taking his body home. she re-
turns to the city. Finally Jim calls her
and asks her to marry him. To escape
further publicity. they decide to elope.
Iona is recognized when they go for
the marriage license and Jim slugs a
when he attempts to
take their picture. They are married at
a parsonage in small town. Driving |
on. they stop overnight at a tourist |
home in another quiet town along the
highway.

He reached for her, suddenly.

It was hard to realize that they
were not going back to the CITY.
AS they drove back to Lewistown
and Jim left their rented car in the
care Of a greasy garage mechanic,
Iona caught herself specializing.

He shrugged. There's always

established vitamin. BY "we1l es-
tablished" I mean that there is no
doubt of it's existence and of its ac-
ton.
1t is widely distributed in nature.
The exact requirements of the
amount that should be taken daily
are not definitely determined yet,
but. it would appear that a we'll
balanced dietary would supply ade-
quate amounts for both the male and
the female. But in spite of it's wide
distribution in food products, it is
suggested that many women do not
receive an ample quantity of this
factor to safeguard their pregnan-
cies and reproductive life.
A full list of the foods in which
vitamin E is present is as follows:
wheat germ oil, wheat germ, butter,
eggs, lettuce, legumes, meat, milk,
leafy vegetables, molasses, peanuts,
palm oil, rice oil, cottonseed oil, corn
(whole), oats (whole), wheat
(whole) rice (whole), barley, peas,
spinach, watercress and beans.

PLANE |SFORCED
DOWNNEARC CITY
No One Hurt In Accident
Near Elrod Lumber Com
pany ctn Releigh Road

A four-place Waco cabin plane
was forced down here this afternoon
in a field near the ElrOd Lumber
Company on the Raleigh road, and
nosed over, due to soft ground,
damaging its propeller.
Dave S. Brusch, of Reading Pa,
was plotting the plane, and his little
daughter, Doris and Carl PETER
were passengers in the craft.
Low fuel was the cause of the
landing.
The plane was enroute from Read
ing, Pa, to Miami, Fla, and had a
cruising speed Of $50 miles per hour.
The propeller was being straight
ened at a local garage preparatory
to the resumption of flight.
Pilot Brusch said his fuel was
low, and he had been searching for
a landing field for quite a while
before he sighted the open space
near the lumber company. The
plane had practically come to a
standstill before nosing up.

1t must have been vitamin E that
made Sarah Jane feel so much bet
ter because vitamin E is found in
leafy vegetables, lettuce, legumes,
corn, oats, barley, spinach, water
cress, dandelion greens, etc. That
is the very sort of thing that the old
ladies would get when they got
themselves a mess of green's in the
spring.
Chemistry of Love
Vitamin e has something to do
with nutrition and reproduction,
fertility and the activity of the thy
roid and the pituitary glands, all
of which have something to do with
the chemistry of love.
The vitamins, it may be necessary
to repeat for the reader who has not
followed the articles this week close
ly, are those factors contained in
well-balanced diet which regulate
a number of the functions of the
body. They are not exactly foods
and have no direct connection with
the chemistry of nutrition except as
control factors. Not much was
known about them until few dec
AIDES ago when it was found that
when certain functions of the body
went wrong, these could be restored
to normal by adding to the diet
foods in which certain definite vita
minis were known to be present.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

A TAP AT the door of their
room in the tourists home awak-
ened Jim and Iona the morning
after their wedding night. Sitting
up in bed Iona saw the sun stream
ing through the windows that had
been eerie with moonlight in last
nights darkness.
Eyes" she called out, laughing
at Jim's tousled head and sleepy
eyes.
"The morning paper thought
you'd like to see it," came in the
friendly voice of the woman of the
house.
THANK you," Iona murmured,
and turned to the clock. Imagine
waking people up to give them the
morning paper. Then her eyes wild
ened as she saw the time. Ten
o'clock! She laughed again, and
punched Jim to make him wake.
"Sleepyhead" she tainted. "Why
didn't you tell me it was ten
o'clock? Come on, we've got to get
back to town and go house hunt
ing"
Slipping out of bed she caught
up her negligee and went barefoot
to the door, tossing back her brown
curls like child. The paper was
propped against the door, and she
brought it inside expectantly. Per-
haps in the For Rent" ads she
might find her future address.

stretched and yawned, she opened

surprised exclamation forced itself
