And I can assure you that Mr. Noel Veritzen, if not one of the | family is most anxious to be counted | in that relationship.” Dicky's choler 1is mever proof | against his sense of the ridiculous. T heard a distinct chuckie over the | telephone. | “My word!” he ejaculated. “That will be a cropper for the old skate!

Tn- stead of the angry rejoinder which I expected, Dicky laughed aloud. “Let me tell you something, old dear,” he said, and something in his tone brought back the memory of the night when he had returned from the interview with the red- bearded man and his companion, and had been so filled with sup- | pressed merriment, apparently at some joke upon me which he did not intend to share. “You can ex- tend all the invitations you please to Miss Lincoln’s uncle and aunt”— T wondered if T fmagined his hesita- tion before the last three werds— “and be very sure of that pleasant old. sinecure know as eating vour cake and having i, too.

In the flat below the Jeromes lives Ted Sloan, who wants Sally to marry him and keep on working. | But the only man who interests her is John Nye, whose real estate of- lall from Mr. Nye hires Millle as his secretary and becomes blindly in- fatuated with her. Millle flirts with the notion of marrying him, but really prefers Davidson, a bond salesman whom she met in a for- mer job. Beau passes some bad checks, and “horrows” some money from the bank where he works. Sally gets the money to make good his theft from Mr. Peevey, who is retiring from business because of 1l health. Beau and his bride, Mabel, spent all their earnings for such luxuries as second-hand cars and tur coats, return home to live. They pay almost no board, and Sally is trantic. Then Millle has an appendicltis operation, and John Nye peys for her room and nurse at the hospital. While ghe is there Sally does her work in s office, and he offers her a permanent position, She re- fuses it, and goes into the res- taurant business with her aunt, Emily Jerome, who has turned her country home The business does not thrive Sally spends most of her time at ¢o all the work of cooking, serving, et Mrs. Jerome decides to bring Farmer Brown's Boy Decides By Thornton W.

Then she turned Gpon Sally. “You might have told your sister that Mr. Nye was here!” she said severely. “You knew he was here to see her and not you, Sally!

Vell, 50 here you are!” Millie's gay voice came from the outer room and her blond head shot around the door. “What are you all doing in Lere? Hello, Johnny, going to stay for supper?” She came swaying into the room, all slenderness and curves, all per- fume and color, all warmth and radiance and lure. She walked straight up to John Nye, and stood just as close to him as she could, looking straight up into his eyes. It was a trick that she had learned from watching Greta Garbo on the screen, and Sally had segn her practice it in her own room lozens of times. But John Nye was utterly ferent to it and to her. His cyes were quite cold as down at her. No, I can’t stay tonight, “I'm sorry.” He went, Millie followed him as far as the brown car, and stood there talking indif- dark Millie,” ! to him for a minute or two. But he started thé motor running as if he were in a hurry to be off, and after a bit Sally saw him raise his hat and wave.

She usually rested all day Sunday. Tt was Ted Sloan who put the brilliant ides into Sally’s head. Sally had been telling him how poor business was in the House by the Side of the Road, and he him- self had scen how few people came there that Sunday night. “Your place lacks pep!” said Ted, who knew some of the rules of sell- ing, picked up in his own husiness of sclling automobiles. “Now, you take this place down the road, the Lark, as they call it—" “Don’t talk to me about readhouse!” groaned Sally. have a thousand dollars to that They spend m and I haven't a thousand pennies!

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Asociation and of Hy- gela, the Health Magazine A report of the British Ministry of Health just made avallable points out that disease of the heart caused more deaths last year than did eith- er cancer or tuberculosis, and that some forty per cent of deaths from heart disease are ascribed to pre- | vious infectfon with rheumatism. The bacteriologists who have been investigating this disease are convinced that it is caused by a form of streptococcic bacterial or- ganism of the same general na- ture as that which causes scarlet fever and erysipelas. The fact has rot, however, been proved com- pletely. Evidence as to the relationship between rheumatism and heredity, environment, bad housing,'damp- ness and chronic sore throaL has been ecarefully studied with the result that it has been found that the disease is - rather rare among the well-to-do and much more common in the poor and destitute classes. Part of the reason as- signed for this is accredited to the fact that most eof the children of the well-to-do have had their ton- sils removed before reaching high school age. The earliest signs of rheumatism in children are pallor, loss of welght, a slight dally rise in tem- perature and fatigue out of all pro- portion to the work that is being done. The description is, of course, much like that given of the child who Is susceptible to tuberculosis. It is important, however, to find out whether or not the child is going | to be rheumatic as soon as possible, since control is much easier in the onset than when the disease is well established. Children are sometimes said to jsuffer with growing pains in the hamstring muscles behind the knee; sometimes they complain unduly of stiff neck. Either of these conditions may be consid- ered as possibly suggestive of be- ginning rheumatism. Tf such a | ehila found to have enlarged or infected tonsils, they should be | removed as soon as possible. The secondary complications, such as heart disease, St. Vitus' dance, stiff joints and similar complaints are far more serious |than the rheumatism itself. The (rheumatic child is benefited fur- thermore not only by the prophy- lactic removal of the tonsils and adenoids, but also by rest in bed, country alr, sunshine and good medical care.

Those who have Yellow Cab Is Systematically Clean YELLOW CAB is as clean as a whistle. It is absolutely sanitary. It is clean by intention—systematically clean. This is just a8 much of an obligation as good equip- ment and reliable drivers. It is thoroughly washed with soap and water every 24 hours. It is fumigat- ed with an antiseptic which does the work but leaves no odor or stain. If we were to use the term “surgical cleanliness,” we wouldn’t be very far behind the truth. These facts mean a lot to the cab-riding public. Keeping your passengers free, from contamination is with us just as much an obligation as keeping them safe from accident. The washers we employ are not just washers. They are expert washers— they understand their business. But to “make assurance doubly sure” each car is inspected by an expert after it has been washed and fumigated. We know of no other cab company which takes more extraordinary pre- cautions to protect its patrons. We know of no other cab company which will spend money, in this way. So, it is just as well for you gwe a little analytical thought to cab-riding, ick your cab with care. Hail Them Anywhere Yellow Co. Phone 231 Pay What the Meter Reads
