' ® | The park was still wearing its winter |garb yet there was that in the air it | which suggested an eary spring. The Rev. Mr. Durand expanded his mas- sive chest and drew in drafts of the fresh air. He realized then with - i the blood coursing through his veins that he was thankful to his big con- gregation for insisting on this much- ! needed rest. His eyes glanced ahead through the labyrinth of glistening trees and the winding path below. A few yards be- yound, in the middle of that wide path, lay a long envelope, and when the minister reached the spot he stopped and picked it up. There was no writing to indicate an owner and the Rev. Mr. Durand turned a search- ing glance about the immediate vleln-l ity. Perhaps some one would even | then be returning to look for the lost | property. \ But thg prrk was deserted save for the spar s and’ the little begging squirrels that sat up with forepaws aguinst thelr breasts in mute appeal. ‘The minister's hand went deep into his pocket and drew forth the desired peanuts; three days in Central park had taught him that New York squir- rels were not the untamed variety of the western woods. The Rev. Durand stooped to meet the demands of the little crea- tures that waylaid rich and poor, saint and sinner. When his pockets were emptied his mind returned jto the legal looking Get Your Coupons in the Great Voting Contest at the Hub.

Now what man could be so careless as to lose 80 precious a thing?" For a moment the minister's ves were wistful, “If the right girl had ever come into my life and had registered her name with mine—I think I would not let go the paper in a hurry.” He scanned the document for the names of the couple. “Letitia Larken-and Harold Dwyer.” The minister repeated the last name and a thoughtful llne drew between his eyes. He stopped still in the path and probed his memory. “Harold Dwyer? Where have I seen— Ah!"” He continued his walk,; but the puzzled frown only deepened.: “I married Harold Dwyer to—to— Rose Lange five—no four—years ago.” And during the remainder of his !wnlk back to the hotel the Rev. Mr. +Durand was lost in thought. There might easily be two Harold Dwyers and yet something told the minister that it was not so in this case. suddenly felt as if his trip to the e: his walk in the park, and in.fact his whole life had been a preparation for the finding of this marriage license. Argument whispered to him that Harold Dwyer may have lost his first wife, but wisdom told him that such was not the case. “In any event, I will take the li- cense to the girl,” he decided’ and wondered why he sought the girl rather than the map. Yet instinct told him that the man could not be trusted and that the girl was in need of warning. It was toward the late afternoon when the young minister made his way to the home of Letitia Larkin. Somehow he had had a presentiment that the girl would be living in a boarding house. Yes; she did live in one of those domiclles for the homeless in the big city. A slovenly but affable maid let the young minister into the front room with the information that Miss Larkin was engaged with the ladies’ guild, but that ske would bring her down from the top floor. in ' . b See QOur Windows [l They reflect the Superb Stock with || 8 e which our Store is filled. ‘ The Hub &Y l !

Mr. Du- rand hesitated for the fraction of a minute then went bravely on, “I mar! rled a Mr. Harold Dwyer four years ago. His wife was a dear friend of mine.” The minister watched the girl's face. It had grown a shade paler and a startled look had come into her eyes. She regained her composure almost immediately and laughed a pretty.l ringing laugh. “Why 1s it,” she asked with quite steady voice, “that one alw: jumps to conclusions? The world 18 certainly large enough to contain twq or even three Harold Dwyera." There was a sudden silence in th-' room while a glance fraught with fear and a newborh understanding pasaed between the minister and the girl. The minister was the first to speak and he strove to make his tone light. “Then you are the first to venture with your Mr. Dwyer into the land of mony sald the girl, imitating his tone, but underneath there was a vague feeling of disquiet. The room seemed suddenly to be peopled with strange and ugly shapes. The girl turned toward the window as if to escape some hidden pressure. “Here iy Mr. Dwyer now,” she said, but in a dull monotone. The Rev. Dr. Durand had caught a fleeting glimpse of the man who was then entering the house, and he took (up a position well in the center so that Dwyer might see him to best ad- vantage. The minister was consclous of heav- fly beating pulses when he heard the man's entrance and felt him glance into the front room. Then he heard a smothered exclamation and realized that Harold Dwyer had fled precipl- tately from the life of Letitia Larkin, girl realized everything in a flash of intuition. She smiled a half wistful little smile and because she was adorably feminine she did that which was expected of her and fainted into the minister's arms. When she opened her eyes he was gazing down at her with an expres. sfon that brought all the color back into Letitia's cheeks. “It was good of you to save me,” she sald demurely. “I couldn't do less,” the minister told her. “And I thank my good mem- ory for names,” he added. Letitia was slowly tearing the li- cense to bits, “You can get another one—some day,” the Rev. Durand said, half in earnest. Letitia blushed for she caught the serious meaning beneath the jest. And when she did get another marriage license the big minister accompanied her to take charge of it—and her. ONE OF NATURE'S FIRST LAWS Digestive Organs Must Ge Given Time to Do Their Work if Good Health Is Desired. A certain fundamental law of nature it it were written out would read: Thou sbalt not eat any manner of food until that which thou didst eat afore- time shall have been fully digested. And he that eateth before his peptic glands are ready shall pay the pen- alty. The law is mandatory. Although I do not find it written “in the tables of the law” as one af the tem com- taining it. The that the operation of digestion is not & continuous performance. What boots it when or how a law was given, as long as it contains the steam-roller truth? Many an unfortunate who bad ignorantly or thoughtlessly violated this law has been rolled out into a thin layer of uncomfortable indolence or groaning incapacity.
