His protestations I knew were not those of an ordinary tempestuously romantic man.

I began to compare him as a man with Philip Veritzen, weighing them both with | the scales of my knowledge and my intuition. It was a process which I hardly knew I was using, but it had the result of checking for a little the fascinated interest in Philip Verit- zen which had been increasingly mine ever since my entrance into his employ. The famous theatrical magnate had all the better of the comparison | ‘where quickness of perception, keen- | ness of artistic intuition, scholarly | i | very lofty mood ind | conference until | managed attainments and fascinating person- ality were concerned. But when I ut upon the scales Hugh Grant- land's dashing bravery, his wide knowledge of almost every land un- der the sun, his zest for adventure, but above all his royal heart and his high principles, they far out- weighed the attractions of the other man.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Modical Association and of Hygeia tho Health Magazine Most of the troubles of the early months when a child is to be born are the result of the absorption by the body of the mother of certain by-products of the developing child. Assoclated with this absorption of poisons s an upset stomach, produc- ing a morning nausea sometimes so severe as to produce definite illness. Headache often 1s a symptom, es- pecially if there is nausea without the relief afforded by ejection of the | mucus in the stomach. The nausea may come on in waves and make the patient feel dizzy, especially when there is no food in the stomach. Causes of Nausea Under such conditions, women fre- quently lose their interest in food and develop unusual food cravings. | Sometimes certain odors will excite the most se e nausea and the woman will develop an antipathy to the odor of tobacco, of fish, of per- | fumes, or other substances for which she has previously had no disgus Sometinies associated with thi there is an unusually large amount | of saltva which tends naturally to | emphasize the disturbance. In many | instances the mother will fecl better |if she will eat a few crackers or | some dry toast before getting up in | the morning. | Her loss of appetite should not be | permitted to interfere with the de- velopment of the child or her own body. It is normal for her to gain some weight during the carly months | of the process. It Is necessary for her to have definite amounts of specific food | | substances in order to protect her | own body and to assure the growth | of the child. The old saying, “For | { every child a tooth,” arose from the experiences associated with im- | proper nutrition during the process | of the child's development. | Glands Grow Among other early symptoms are an increase in the size of the breast, due to the development of glands 8o that the mother may nurse the baby.

Elwell is an artist. He has a son, Jim, aged 5. Late that night twin girls are born to the woman, who dies without revealing her identity. Her attire had indicated she was & person of refinement and wealth. The story then moves forward to June, 1916, and the readerMs in- troduced to Jim Elwell, now 22, and his father's partner, and to the twin girls, who have been adopted by the Elwells. They are now 17, and one of them has been named Margaret and nicknamed Rusty; the other, lizabeth, is called Betty. To Jim the girls are pals, although they are growing to beautiful womanhood. The three g0 out on a hunting expedition in the woods one afternoon and Rusty, venturing ahead of them, | slirs up a rattlesnake. Jim hears then the Just kid | wild scream of the girl. NOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER V Like a flash Jim Elwell tore in through the weeds and undergrowth, past Detty, who stood fright-strick- ¢n. He reached the other girl just in time to catch the swaying form in his arms. Picking her up as if | she were no heavier than a baby, he turned and rushed back to the clearing near the first pond. Betty was already there. Jim lajd the| limp on the ground, fiat on | ter back. “Help t me to get her shoes an’ tockings off quick!” he cried. ‘She's been bit on the leg, prob'ly He tore off the low shoe from the right foot. Then catching the stock- ing above the knee he jerked it free from its fastenings and pulled it off. second later had the other stocking | off. “Here it is his keen e tiny puncturs 0 ight leg. mme that your head till T put a tourniquet on.

Rusty lay 1s still a mouse in Jim's ar and he stopped once to look in he face, thinking she had fainted. But her eyes were open. She said never a word. that kept careful not to get any of that green slime in it.” The girl was trembling like a leaf | but she did as she was told. She grabbed the hat from his head and started for the pend while Elwell, doubling the scarf, slipped it under | the leg just below the knee and tied n a loose double knot. Then pick ing up a short stick close at hand he thrust it through the knot and | wound the fourniquet tight. At that moment Betty rushed back with the hat and Jim doused a | handful or two in Rusty's face. A moment later she opened her eyes. “Don't be scared, little pal,” Jim told her, with a catch in his throat. “You've been stung on the leg but | we'll have you all hunky-dory in just | a few minutes.” He told her to turn over on her stomach. “Grit your teeth, old bucko, and show what a dead game sport you are. The girl did as she was told with- out a word, Then Jim dug into his pants pocket and drew out his knife, | He opencd the big blade, which was sharp as a razor. and wiped it clean | on his handkerchief.

The doctor gave the snake bite his undivided attention for some fifteen minutes, trowning when he saw the bits of gunpowder embedded in the girl's flesh. “Hm-m, huve to watch | that.”” But he turned to Jim with a smile. “You did just the right thing, Jim" To Rusty he said, “How you feel now? Does it hurt pretty bad ?” It did, Rusty informed him. “Well, 1t Jim had waited to get you here first you'd have had a mighty sore leg by this time and been awful slck at the tummy!” Rusty was able to laugh, in spite of the pain in her leg, and to Kiss Jim. That evening in the Elwell home after the excitement had died down and Rusty was resting on the sofa, Jim turned to Betty with a little grin. “Well, kiddo,”" he sald, “we didn't shoot any farmer’s calf today but— we shot a calf just the same, didn't we?” Betty glggled and nodded he: head.
