Bradford wanted to ask her to go with him. Startled by a sound curiously like a suppressed snicker, Kingdon decided to climb higher. He reached up for a branch above him—and seized 4 small, warm slipper that gave his hand a little kiek. “Keep still,, can’t you? and let go my foot!” a whisper admonished him. He looked up and saw Elizabeth sit- ting high and dry on a horizontal branch, swinging her feet and peering toward the house, “S-sh!” she warned again, for her brother Jack and Brad- ford came into the garden. “Elizabeth!” Jack called. Then, “Con- found girls, anyhow! She was here five minutes ago, and her wraps are in the hall. She must be near.” On the strength of Elizabeth's chuckle Dr. John Kingdon climbed up and sat beside her. Her gray suit mede her almost Ingisible in the growing dark, but he knew by heart the blue of her eyes, the rich brownness of her halr and the coldness of her manner to him of late. “What are you doing here?” She tried to get hauteur into a whisper, and failed. “What you are—escaping Bradford, evi- dently. 1 wouldn’t go to the dance be- cause you were to be there.” “Thanks,” she replied, “neither would 1, because you were to be there.

Why doesn't he go?" whispered the girl, for the eternal Brad-: ford sauntered under their tree and light- ed his pipe. “Don’t walit for me, Jack, old man. I'll walt around a bit, and it she doesn’t show. up ¥11 come out alone “*“The confounded idlot!"” Kingdon whis- pered, and put out a protecting hani: when she seemed to sway a bit. She froze; instantly, and he dared not venture ex- cuse nor protest. 1 The darkness had Increased, and when the moon came salling up Bradford swore at his luck and departed, clicking the sate behind him. “Now, Dr. Kingdon, I think you can make your escape.” “But I don’t want to—now! May I not stay long enough to apologlze for intruding on your tree-solitude?” He spoke softly, with a delicate clipping of the r's. His fine, dark face bent toward her. “I have not meant to persecute you, but you did not answer my letter. I will never @rouble you again, but will you not be falr enough to tell me just what I have done? ‘' You could do an enemy that justice!” To his sur- prise she grasped his arm. ¥ “Father and mother!” s “You'll have to stay—I couldn’t explain to them—why I am here!” - Kingdon hardly breathed, :or she forgot to murmured. loosen the blessed hold on his sleove. Mr. Treynor walked in portly pomp- ousness beside his anxious little wife. “Elizabeth worries me so!” ghe com- plained, and they seated themselves on a rustic bench. “She's so difficult! I can’t lay it to college, and her trip to Europe, for was lively till just of late. Now she doesn’t enjoy soclety, and is getting Interested in the poor. And what do you suppose is her reason for refusing to have anything to do with that nice Dr. Kingdon and—" “Some fool notion,” her father grunted. e “And taking up with that Bradford?

W'u. he told Elizabeth that Dr. Kingdon said at the lub that Western girls hadn’t reserve fenough—that he disapproved of co-edu- Rcation because it made girls too free- 33 md~enyl with men, and a lot of stuff never meant it for her.” “No; I'm from New Hampshire, and she has lived there half her time dur- ing the last six years. I wonder where $¥she 1s now? Probably at Anne’s. She's safe enough. Jo, If you're gomg to iisleep, we might's well go in.

Listen to that, now!” Two men, laughing and yelling, drové past in a cart at a furious pace. “It's Sam Brown,” continued ‘Mrs. wish they didn’t live next ure to kill some one sooner He'll come back about mid- or later. night and chase the family outdoors. I think the public ought—" Her voice died away as she entered the house with her husband. - Then Kingdon turned and faced the still, proud girl beside him. She held her head high, her beautiful face full in the moonlight. “Is that toue—what your mother sald? Is that ‘why you treat me so? Will you be fair enough to tell me?” “Well, yes,” she admitted, “I don’t I PIP SR LT d NWornaup = - one gide, supporting the body by one arm, as shown in the plcture.

Stiffen agaln and ralse the body: A half hour a day should be given to these exercises, always combining them with deep breathing, for In oxygenating the system thoroughly you are literally burning up the carbon, or in other words, the fat. Our thin subject has a harder time filling up hollows and rounding out angles, for at the bottom of the thin woman's woes les the greatest robber of beauty—worry. Eliminate worry, laugh at it, and you are on the high road to health and beauty. The thin woman needs nine hours of good, refreshing sleep in a well véntilated room. She needs exercise, plenty of it, but of course without the rubber suit, to make her blood circulate like being called underbred. It's not true—and you wouldn’'t like it your- selt.” “It was a careless statement. exag- gerated by Bradford, and made when I'had met only a few girls of the Molly Racer type. You know perfectly well that it pever applied to you, in my mind or anybody’s. -I saw at a glance that you were thoroughbred—that you added to the older culture of the East the frank courage and honesty of the West, that you had the poise to be a law unto yourself—and unto me. Oh, I shall finish now, for I shall never speak to you agaln till you say you wish _me to. You're a girl I could adore and be proud of, East or West. I would bear anything for one willing word of love from you. You know me, my pedigree, education and behavior—the best of their kind. I haven't much money, though I shall have; but I have pride —as much as you.” He paused. Elizabeth looked straight at him. “I was unfair—and I am sorry. 1 waht you to—" A furious rattle of ‘wheels, a sound of cursing and yelling, and Sam Brown's cart careened dan- gerously as the terrified horse crashed into the fence just beneath. Kingdon started to leap down, then caught the girl's face to his breast and covered her ears with his hands to spare her the sight and sound of the drunken brnu‘baln: dragged to death.

She must strength- en and broaden her chest, and Increase her measurements. For this purpose the following prescription by an eminent physiclan has been found most success- ful: Liquid extract of galega (goatsrue), 10 grams; lacto phosphate of lime, 10 grams; tiacture of fennel, 10 grams: simple syrup, 400 grams. The dose is two _soupspoonfuls with water before eachi™meal and the drinking of malt 18 also advised during meal The exercise for strengthening the back and chest can be accomplished without the ald of another personm, if the patlent les on the bed and steadles her feet against the footboard. This exercise consists In lylng flat on the face, then ralsing the body backward as far as possible. The hands are placed on the chest; elbows out. When the body is raised as much as possible, the hands and arms ere extended at the sides and the body slowly lowered. Many women are knock-kneed, a defect more deplored and. thought about at the seaside resort than just in winter. But this Is the time to begin to correct this ugly line. Get a pile of heavy books and place them on the floor. Stand behind<hem about a foot away. Place the right faot against the pile and push over toward the left as far as possible. Reverse the exercise, and push with the left foot toward the right. This exercise will bring Into play the muscles of the calf of the leg, which is developed at the same time, although stair climbing or even the motlon of mounting imaginary stairs, while the body reposes in- a chair, will have the same tendency. A great deal of tension should be dut into the muscles when going through these movements. Women with perfectly molded arms aré rarely seen. Usually they are either too thin from elbow to wrist, or, too fat from wrist to shoulder. Arms both thin and fat'may be very much improved by proper massage. This is accomplished by gfasping one arm at the wrist with the hand of the other arm and working up toward the shoulder with a wring- ing, twisting movement. Massage is also resorted to in filing out those pepper and salt box hollows in the neck, which every woman abhors, and though it Is slow it is beneficl and successful. Bodily health and sym- metry are dependable upon diet and exercise, and every woman can attaln it it she seeks it In natural remedies and persists in her quest untll it s won. (Copyright, 1906, by T.

A crowd gathered, and King- den whispered: “Stay here—I'll be back in a moment and get you down.” He slipped down Into the alley and out into the crowd. In about twenty minutes—ages to the girl—he again scrambled dp besids her. “I did what there was to do—told them the life had gone out. He never knew what struck him—It's under- taker's work now. This has been mis- erable enough for you. Let me help you down, and to the house.” As she did not speak he looked at her. She laughed and held out her hand. “Will you speak to me—now . that I ask you to? You are—the nicest man —1I know.” She took his hand and climbed down, he after her. “Wait,” he commanded, swinging down befoge her. “I shall lift you down,” She was just in easy reach of his arms. “And—another thing—I want you to—Ikiss me!” His masterfulness took her breath. by should 17" she laughed at last. “It's improper—reason enough for a ‘Western gir he teased. “Impertinent, and won't stand,” she decided. ‘“Another reason!” “Well, Elizabeth—do it—because you ‘want to!™ He held out his arms. and she could not find it in her heart to deny him.
