Cancer from Sunlight
 Imaginary-Dr. Brady
By WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

A month ago, in a moment of ungovernable fury, gave vent to my feeling about the way the game was going by throwing my hat on the green. Immediately my oppon- ent, exulting over the way the game was going, jumped up and down on my hat, and it has never recover ed the intangible snap and smart ness it had when I plunked down 98 cents or something like that for it just before the War.
 The other day I received volum- inous report of the opinions of more or less eminent authorities (theyre always authorities if their notions please us) upon the dangers of go- ing without a lid. Many of the auth critics have long since turned up their toes, so we'll let 'em lie.
 A Brooklyn eye specialist bald ly-I mean boldly arrests; Tt has been definitely proven that thou sands of people have been need lessly subjected to attacks of sim usitis and other respiratory d. seases, by the unwarranted exposure of an uncovered head
 Of course, nobody can prove that any illness of any kind ever occurs from that so-called exposure or from any exposure to cold or damp ness in any weather.
 Bear in mind, children, that I'm not an authority about anything. But I do not believe hatlesseneSs in any weather has a thing to do with sinus trouble or other respiratory disease, no matter whether you have heavy covering of hair or no hair at all
 On the other hand some of the authorities (dead or alive) quoted as warning people about barring the head when the weather is indictment, soft pedal that aspect of the ques- ton and bear down hard on the alleged dangers of absorbing too much ultraviolet light from the strong sunlight of midsummer.
 I believe I'd wear some sort of sunshade, helmet or head cover, hair or no hair, if were exposed to extremely strong sunlight, say on the desert or in the tropics, but seldom is such protection necessary in any part of the United States or Canada-protection against sun- stroke.
 Cancer from sunlight? Injury to spinal cord? Meningitis? Damage to eyesight? These imaginary effects of midsummer sunshine are fine subjects for Sunday supplement ar ticles. In any circumstance would not give them a thought-I'd wear a hat or go without, whichever

If SO, you lose the contract, because when East gets in with club he will lead back small diamond, which declarer wins with the nine spot. Then when West gets in with the ace of hearts, the third diamond will come back and East will de- feat the contract.
 If declarer refuses to win the first diamond, East will return a diamond at trick two, declarer wins with the jack and leads a club. East wins and returns an- other diamond which South wins with the ace. Now when the ace Of hearts is knockout out. West will have no diamond to return.
 Refusal to win the first diamond is the hold-up play. It is one of

 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Immunity
 Six years ago my son was given a shot" by a health doctor and the doctor told me it immunized the boy against humps for life. School nurse here says no such immunizing "Shot" is known. (Mrs. c. L)
 Answer-No such immunization is known. Perhaps you misunderstood what the doctor told you. If he is or was a representative of the health department, you might ob- tain the information by writing the health department of the city where you then lived. Only effective im- munizing treatment generally adyis- able is CD immunizing against diptheria, which every child should receive before the age of three years; @ immunizng against typ hold, partyphoid etc. and (3) im- munizing against smallpox, by vac- cination.

Mark Proves He Car,
Defend Himself

A little group of habitants was
forming at the head of the wharf,
where they had been mending fish,
ing-nets or summing themselves upon
the balks. Within a minute, just as
Mark and Nat had reached the ho-
tel, half-circle had been formed
about them, and the mutterings
were becoming curses.
Monsieur Hector Macintosh, the
landlord, thickset, burly man of
fifty, was standing in his shirtsleeves
at the hotel entrance. Using a tooth
pick vigorously, he failed to recog-
nize Marks salutation.
"You. do not seem to remember
me. Monsieur tMackintosh?" asked
Mark, deceptive softness in his
voice.
mo, ! do not remember you, who
ever you are, and my hotel is full"
growled the landlord.
The curses had become shouts.
The hah-circle was beginning to
close in. Things looked ugly for the
strangers.
What's that they're saying?"
asked Nat Page.
They're calling us spies and de-
tectives from Quebec. They think
we've come to investigate their
gear before they start for the seal
ing-grounds." Mark answered.

Broussac Becomes

"No, Monsieur Mark Darrell has
leased three thousand arpents of my
lands, and the mill, with which, as
you know, Monsieur Broussac tried,
to make some money for me. Mon
sieur Broussac leased these lands
with my approval, before I became
of age, because-you know, you
know that otherwise all my hus-
bands seigniory would have gone
to the Government for taxes.
"But since then, Monsieur Brous-
sac has made a fortunate specula-

will of course release me from the
agreement.

CHAPTER ii

The sun was streaming brightly
into the room when they were awak-
ened by the boy, carrying q tray
with eggs and toast, coffee and
preserves of wild Strawberries. He
set it down on the table, favored
them with a sour grin and with
drew.
They stared about them, with diff
ficulty taking in, for the moment, the
circumstances of their arrival.
breakfast in bed! Can you beat
that?" asked Nat. "Gosh, I'm as
hungry as a bear, Mark"
They ate and drank, changed the
clothes in which they had slept for
their old ones, now dry, looked at
each other and laughed.
Everything I had in the world
was in that old valise," said Nat.
"Guess we'll make quite a sensa-
ton in the local dry-goods store,
buying out their stock. Let's take
look-see outside"
Nobody was stirring outside the
house, and the shades of Madeleine
Kinross' room were down. In front
of them were more roughly ter
raced steps, leading up to the eie-
walton of the ridge.
At the top, Nat looked about him
and whistled. Slowly he moved
around the compass, taking in the
whole view. And Mark, who had
never seen it from that point be-
fore, looked about in equal admira-
ton. But mixed with this was a
passionate determination not to be
ousted by Broussac, whatever rea-
son he might have to allege for his
communication.
They were standing at the COM
mencement of sort of natural rock
bridge, about wide enough for two
carts to pass each other. On either
side the land fell away so sharply
as to convey the impression of tre-
mendous height.
Behind them was the all-but-
island on which stood the lighthouse
and the other buildings, with the
blue St. Lawrence beyond, and the
dim outlines of the south shore, hazy
in the far distance. In front of them,
struggling down to the little har-
Dor, was St. Victor, a mere line
of wood shacks.
Beyond the little wharf Mark
could see the mill, the long f1ume
and the dam, and, higher up, the
cleft of the st. Victor river, and the
banks, still snow-covered, with the
great trees towering over all.
Among the schooners was a trim
motor-yacht, anchored to the head
of the wharf.
"Some place." said Nat.
"You bet"
'How about having it out with
Madame Kinross?"
'I've an idea," said Mark, 'that
Broussac's aboard that yacht. I
guess my wire upset him more than
his letter did me-"
eff he is, we ought to know soon.
] guess the news of our arrival has
already spread to the village"
Lets go down and see. We hold
the winning hand, so let's play it."
Women appeared instantaneously
at the doors of the shacks. They
stared at the two; one clutched a
child as it was about to run toward
the strangers, dragged it to her, and
thrust it, screaming, inside the
cabin. A boy thumbed nose and
screeched invective.

St. Victor Changes
Its Attitude

"I'm satisfied" said Mark. Un-
consciously he had turned his ewes
upon Madeleine's face. The con-
sternation and anger that he saw
there seemed unaccountable for by
the situation. Broussac, of course,
had been responsible for her change
of mind-but what game was the
shrewd lawyer playing, and what
better offer had he had than the
customary stumpage fee that Mark
had agreed to in the contract?
The attitude of St. Victor had
completely changed. Monsieur Hec-
tor Macintosh the landlord of
the hotel, had suddenly remem-
bered Mark, and his hotel was not
full after all in fact, it was
empty. He was all suavity when
