A e’s C Adele Garrison's onfessional New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Dicky Rescues Madge from a Dire Predicament Fanny Powell had done work well, 1 realized that Diecky's violent ringing of the door- bell awakened our household. | ¥rom every room In the farm-| house came the sound of frantic pounding upon the doors as the occupants realized that they were locked in. Then came the 'NKh“‘lh‘ ed cries of Junlor, awakened by the ¢lamor. Katie's shrill, firghten- ed abjuring Jim to ‘“do gomethings,” and calling loudly, "Oh! Me Graham, my Meesis Grahan and my mother-in-law's ymperious demand to everybody to open her door at once. T strained my ears for Lilllan's soice above the clamor. If the shock of awakening to find herself & prisoner were not too much for her in her weakened condition, 1 knew that she would keep her head, and in some fashion come municate with Dicky, still banging at the front-doorbell. At first I could hear nothing from her room, #0 great was the din from the others, then as the shriekers paused for breath, I heard her window go up, and a musical but distant call of “Yo-ho-0-0o please come to this side of the housel” floated out. The ringing of the doorbell peased with a jerk, and in a few meconds I heard Dicky's excited woice under the window of his own yoom in which Katherine and 1 had persuaded Lilllan to sleep while we set the trap for Fanny Powell which met with such ig- nominfous failure. “What's Going On?" “That you, LiI? For the love of Mike, aleo Percy, what's going on there? Where's Madre?' His words were light, but there was that in his volce which told :vne that he was genninely alarmed, and woman-like T thrilled to the thought that his first query had been for me, “T don’t know," Lilllan returned quickly, “but you'd better lose no time finding out.

They're all locked downstairs." , “There's that veranda roof out- glde Madge's window,” Dick re- turned quickly. “If something | hasn’t happened to her,"—there waa real terror in his voice now— "he window will he open, and I her | an voice Letter from John Alden Prescott to Sydney Carlton Dear Syd: T had no idea when T loft you! and Sally Atherton to take Leglie | home that you going to do yonr usual vanishing act.

That he was oft on a run, I judged from the haste with which Lilian called after him. “Kasy, you f{diot. Don't rlsk breaking your neck. You'll need your head on your shoulders, or I'm mistaken.” “Did She Hurt You?" “I'll be ecareful,” Dicky threw over his shoulder, but the quick- ness with which he traverscd the distance between his side of the house and mine, and the rapidity with which he appeared upon the veranda roof outside my room, told | me that he had heeded no whit of Lillan's warning. He fairly dived through the window, looked wild- ly around the room, caught sight of me stretched out upon the bed, and with an execration leaped to my side and began to undo the gag pressing into my mouth. He did not peak until he had released me, then he caught me in his arms, at- tempted to raise me up, but put me back again as he saw by my wince of pain that my wrists were bound to the bed. He slashed the cords aside with his pocket knife, then lifted me into his arms. “Did she hurt you bestdes gag- ging you?” he demanded and my eyes must have told him of my wonderment at his use of the pro- noun, for he exploded in the un- reasoning wrath which s purely a masculine prerogative in crises, “Oh, 1 know who did this, all right,” he sald. “The job bears all the earmarks of a maniac like that specimen il brought in here. 1 told you, warned vyou, but you wouldn't llsten. TLook here,”—this anxiously,—"can you speak?” T made a sorry aitempt, but my brujsed throat muscles balked, and Dicky pwt my head tenderly against his shoulder. “Don’t try,” he =aid. ‘“Now I wounder what's to be done? 1 sup- pose this door is locked on the out- side, t00.”” 1 nodded my head and Dicky pondered for a second. “There {en't a thing in here that could be nsed for a sledge” he said, “and the doors are too thick. T couldn't break them with my noise, accompanied by Katle's shrill “Dot's da stoof. Jeem” came to our ears, “That's the answer,—one he man on the job. Jim will have us out of here fn a jiffy."

He falls to fntorm his three children, Con- stance, Willlam and Alice, about his plansa. H. Hedge, efficlency engineer, picked to put the order into effect, breaks the news to the over- whelmed heira-to-be. Having proved his right to remaln, they have dinner. Afterwards Hedge orders all the servants brought be- fore him. He produces the proxy slgned by the head of the house and requests close attention. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Raijsing his voice slightly, Hedge proceeded once more to read aloud that extraordinary instrument which began, “I, John W. Brooke,” after the fashion of a last will and testameant. He read slowly and clearly, pausing between phrases, in order that a full comprehension of his words might be obtained. When he reached the red seal, he looked up and folded the paper, “I am the Hedge referred to in this document,” he eaid. all understand {t?"

It was like trying to stare the Sphinx out of counte nance, and Constance soon aban- doned the task, “I ghall join my sister,” she sald. “You ~= you are a boor.” “As you wish,”" he sald pleasant- ly, “although I should not have sked you to retire until eleven o'clock, as you are obviously seve eral years older than your sister. And T am not a boor; T am simply an officiency engineer. Good night.” Constance d4id not answer him. She walked from the library, her shoulders squared, her head erebt, her steps measured and deliberate. But when she had turned into the hall, beyond the sight of H. Hedge, she ran, In H.

It was such an aggressively cheerful morning, with sunlight now streaming through the broad windows, th't Alice, in buoyant response to the meod of the day, had utter]y forgotten the presence of this creature under the Brooke roef-tree, The tune died in a dismal little wail, She wheeled sharply and dis- appeared into the hall.

He nodded and smiled in perfect friendliness. There was not the least suggestion in his manner or voice that betrayed memory of having been described as a boor. “Good morning,” replied Con- stance crisply. She hesitated for an instant, then approached the desk and stood facing him, across the broad mahogany expanse. “Breakfast {8 ready said, ry good.

Constance led the way into the dining-room. Billy and Alice were at the table, the latter half.choked with laughter over something her brother had eaid. “Good morning,” nodded Billy cheerfully, glanecing up, “Good morning," said Alice, as though she were beholding the ef- ficlency man for the first time that day.

Billy, with an air of grave inquiry, steod up and gazed fixedly at the top of the ef- ficlency man's head.

HUGH & CUMMING Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service, Tood {s necespary to the body for three definite reasons: Tiret: Food eupplies all the en- ergy needed by the body for caivy- ing on the bodily activities. Second: Food supplies the ma- terials for the growth and repair of the body. Third: Food contains substances which regulate the organs and parts of the body so that each or- gan does {its share, Thig adeyuuie and proper functioning of the or- gans of the hody constitutes good health, The parts of the human bhody must be regulated so that life may g0 on smoothly and we may cnjoy good health, It is the food we cat that furnishes the materials that regulate the parts of the body. (f your body does not get sufficient food, or if you are aeting the wrong kind of food, the pericet regulation of tha body is interrupte ed, It this interruption be scrious or long continued sickness results. You must understand that all sickness does not follow mnder- nourishment or poor food, Tt is, however, equally important for you to know that if your body is un- dernourished, or {f you arc not eating the proper kind of food, that the natural resistance of your lLody to harmful basteria is lowered, Among the most important dis- coveries of modern years muet he listed those which have been made by sclentists with regard to the value of varlous kinds of foods. These sclentists have given to the world certain principles which are correct, but sclence can not formulate a diet that will meet the individual needs of individual men, Don't Trust Your Instinct as to Food You must know that yeu can not trust your instincts with regard to the amount of food you necd. or the kind of food you should caf. There {s more danger in Ameri. ca from over-eating than there s from under-eating. More men break down from over-eating after the age of 40 than break down from over-work, The foods the body needs to sup- ply heat and energy are the anie mal fats, the vegetable cils and such starchy foods as potatocs, bread, rice, beans and certuin other very Important substances known as vitamines, Brain work dees mnot call for more food than physical labor. The man who 1{s laboring hard physie cally or working out of doors nicis nourishing toods in gquantity in order to have the necessary sups ply of energy for his work. This is one of the reagons why baked beans and pea &0iD, salt pork and bacon have come to be the most common food for logger lumber-jacks, ice-cutters and othicrs engaged in heavy outdoor work. One meat course a day iy per- haps as much animal food as the average body should have. The effect of fish and cgga is practically the same as that of meat. Fish and eggs may be claszed as animal food. Meats leave wastes in the body that must be elimi. nated and thrown off. An excessive amount of meat taken into 'the body throws a heavy amount of work upon the eliminative organs. This excessive activity of the or- gans of the body does not maks for good health, Most peopls do not eat enough vegetables. If possible, at least three green vegetables should be eaten every day. Vegetahles fur- nish food elements which are es. sential to the body and in addition they furnish bulk which is impor- tant. Vitamines are food which are vital to life. Vitamines are sometimes destroyed by cook- ing. For this reason some raw food should form a part of the daily diet. East More Fruit and Iettuce Fruits, lettuce and celery are among such important raw foods that should be eaten. Fruit in par. ticular should form an important part of the diet. Fruits help to prevent constipa- tion. They help to preserve the teeth and they supply valuable mineral ssalts to the body, A well-balanced ration should include one meat dish a day, at least three vegetables, ' plenty of raw food, such as fruit, celery or lettuce, elements
