They wero silent. Presently Colllncc

passed throuRh the rich foyer, tho lat

flush under his tan deepened. "Don't

like you a whole lot. but I havo never
Ihought of marolng any one but Gerry.
I'd llko to marry Gerry. I'vo never mar
ried him yet. Not really."
They walked on for some tlmo In
silence. Colllngeford's thoughts had raced
away southwards and aiix's touowcu
them unerringly. "Don't mako one hor
rible mistake. Tercy," slu sold when she
was sure. "Don't Imagine that I could
'trer love the bearer of 111 tidings."
Colllngeford flushed, this time with
shame. "No, of course not," he stam
mered. "You see or can't you see?" sho went
erf, "that all this new life of mine I've
hung on to a single hook of faith. If
the hook breaks and sometimes It hcems
as If it must he wenrlng pretty thin

llngeford's shoulders drooped. For tho
flrst time In his life ho felt old. "You
are rlght-you aro always right." ho said
at last. "I shall go awuy somewhere
where it's easy to iwcat."

exclaimed Allx. "What an ugly thought."
"It's only Bodsky," said Colllngeford
remlnlscently. "Iiodsky says you can

Qood old Dod! I wonder where I shall

"Oh." said Allx, "If it's nodeky's, one
mustn't quarrel with It simply because

"But what?" said Colllngeford.
I was going to say, 'But what naked

I'm looking through the wrong end. I sco
things; clear but tiny. There's little Mrs.
Deathe, pronounced Doet, and she Isn't a
day older. But now I sco that she was
born as old as she'll ever be."
"Good," said Colllngeford.
"And with her Is JIis. Bcmmcr. She's
gone In for the little diamond veil
brooches. They ruin the effect of a sim
ply stunning hat, but, as always, she haa
rushed, at the newest, expensive fad. I
didn't know why before, but somehow I
can tell ou now. She Is tho shopping
Instinct Incorporated. To spend money Is
hcr only sensation. The lines of worry
arc In her face because she ha.3 bought
all and stitl craves to spend."
Allx paused. "Go on," said Colllngeford.
"There are only a few men In the room,
but almost all of these women have hus
bands. Tho husbands aro in two tenses
past and future. There must be a pres
ent, but It Is nebulous. I didn't know
before, but I know now thnt In time these
women will go back or forward to their
husbands. Some day they will get dizzy
and fall nnd tho shock will wake them
tip. I used to bo patronizing to divorce,
like all these, but divorce has taken on
a new fnco all of a sudden, r seo thnt it
is a great antidote to Iti own evil, Whllo
wo laugh and play with it, it is herding
us on to a sane adjustment. Wo nro

nro free and barren. By and by. we'll
come back tired and hungry nnd thirsty
and we'll sco that the pasture's tho thing
green and fresh and sustaining and tho
fence nothing."
"You sec, you understand, you are pro
phetic," said Colllngeford, smiling.
"But I do not tower like our Hodsky,"
said Allx, and then bit hcr tongue nt tho
Blip.
A shadow seemed to fall on them. The
room's high, delicate paneling and tho
painted oval of tho celling seemed to
hover over a suddenly darkened empti
ness. Tho hum nnd chatter of tho throng
become llttlo and far away. Colllnge
ford nnd Allx felt us though they sat
alone nnd yet "not alone. Colllngeford
nodded as though Allx had spoken.
"Yes," he said. "Bodsky has como back
to us. Don't i egret it. I don't know how
It Is with you, but I feel that wp two nro
alone with him nnd that It's worth while.
He's come on us llko n cloud.
"But I like clouds," ho continued,"
"big black clouds. If It were not for
them you couldn't sec tho lightning or
hear tho thunder. They mnkc lightning
nnd thunder tho arm nnd the volco of
tho gods. Bodsky wnsn't dlvlnoi lie
couldn't crento and he knew It nnd felt
It. But ho could echo tho roar and reflect
the light. I remember a duffer making
a careless remark about n womnn's trn-
win. uodsky looked him over and said:
'Some dav Vnll will nAn nnrl lift,,. ,n,,.t

will bring you on to your knees. Hut this
much I can toll you now, joung man. I
would rather havo been thb man who

Alexander tho Great. Krom a spoon to n
baby Is a long step up.
"That'll why we havo made a shrine for
mothers. Generally speaking, women nro
despicable. But a mother has passed
through crurlflxlon to transfiguration.'
I think It was nbout the longest speech
he ever made. To him that was ono of
the things to drop through tho mesh of
his sieve of life unnoticed.
"Bodsky was elemental. He was an cle
ment, lie could not produce, but ho could
make fertile tho lives of lesser men. I
was tho dufTcr that made tho careless
remark. That was tho first time ho over
spoko to me. I've sat nt his feet ever
since. I didn't know I wns doing It, but
I can sec It now. And tho result Is this:
Bodsky couldn't go home. But I can, nnd
I in going homo bofore I've seen the whole
world. Only-only 1 wish I could take you
with me."
"There, lhero." uald aiit ninve..!!.. ,..
hcr eyes were soft. "Wo must go 'now
or you will miss your ship."
CHAPTKtl XXII.
AS AMX and Colllngeford loft the din
. Ing room she said, "They weren't all
butterflies after all. I saw a man nnd a
womnn."
"Not really!" said Colllngeford. "Who?"
'Alan Wayne nnd Dora Tennel."
At Alan's namo Colllngeford's fnco lit
up with Interest. "Ten Percent Wayne.
eh? Yes, you're right. He'a a man. And
Dora Tennel, ex-Lady Brnemo. Yes, she's
a woman, too in a wnv."
"Has she a tnrnished reputation?"
Collingcfonl stopped short In his stride
and looked keenly nt Allx. "Mv dear
lady," lie said, "tluit N a question one
does not put to a man. However, It
doesn't embarrass me to answer It In
this case. She hns not. What on earth
put it Into your head?"
"I don't know," said Allx. "Oh, yes,
I do. t remember. Some one told 'mo
once that Alan surrounded himself with
tarnished reputations."
Kach followed tho train of his own
thoughts until they reached tho pier. Allx
did not get put of tho cnb. Sho leaned
from the window and snlil good-by. Col
llngeford held hcr hand and her eves
long, then he turned awny and hurried
Into the elevator.
When Allx got home sho sat down and
wrote a note to Alan Just a iinc to
tell him thnt sho was ready and wished
to see him. He came tho following after
noon. At first he was a llttlo awkward,
straining Just tho least too niuHi not to
betray his nervousness. But tho sight
of Allx put him nt hi ease. Once it
had been with a line art that she hud
pampered tho lll-nt-case. Into well-being
but as Alan crossed tho room nnd stood
before her he knew that art had been
banished and th.it a now Allx. simple
and secure In tho unassailable ntmos
phero that guards true women, held out
her hand to him from beyond some In
visible barrier. She had become a true
woman true In the sense of honor and
Bhe was tempered as steel, but soft with
tho softness of motherhood. About her
there was the peace of an inner shrine.
She drew him Into it unhesitatingly and
ho suddenly felt unclean Just as he had
felt unworthy on that other day when
no nau recoiled from Nances loving
arms around his neck.
"You're not looking very well, Alan,"
said Allx when ho was Bented.
"No, I'm not on tho top of tho wave
Just now," j-opllcd Alan. "Touch of river
fover. It's like memory-a hard thing to
shake."
"I'm not trying to shake mine," said
Allx calmly. "My memories have made
me."
"No wonder you don't quarrel with
them," said AInn in frank admiration.
"Life." said Allx. "is beginning to pay
dividends not much. Just a competence.
Knough to live on." She smiled faintly.
"It Is well," said Alan, "to be satisfied
wltli sanity it you can only keep snne.
You could nnd did. You decided to stick
to tho legitimate nnd you have your
steady and lasting reward. Tho other
pays In a lump. It's easy to lose a
whole nugget."

TO CARRY PASSENGERS
OVEREATING A GLORIOUS THING
FOR DOCTORS AND UNDERTAKERS
By WILLIAM A. BRADY, M. D
TO IIAVn a good appetlto and bo a
competent "table-cleaner" Is the pop
ular sign of good health. Yet overeating
Is a grand thing for us doctors.
Ono who eats more than ho can metab
ollze or burn up Is likely to experience
ono or moro of the following effects: Con
stipation, autointoxication, biliousness,
stomach trouble, "gas," flatulency, that
tired feeling, drowsiness, luzlncss. grud-
ual development of obesity, liver com
plaint, Irritability and divorce. Nobody
loves a (at man: even his own wlfo Just
tolerates him.
Along toward 35 or 40 overeating be
Kins to gA In Its wdrk on tho body. Hy
this time ono's habits are becoming fixed,
ono's opinions nro becoming set. and it Is
hard to ehungo ones mind nuout. any
thing so vital as the dully blead. Ono
eats, say, one slice of bread more than
ono really needs each day, and on this
system gains about 20 pounds in weight
each year.
One feels mean and out of sorts a
few hour after the Indulgence, und
attributes the indisposition to hunger;
so one tackles u big dinner, and sure
enough one feels tine for an hour or two
after eating. Food in excess is some
what stimulating, or should we say nar
cotic, In effect) very much like alcohol or
tobacco In tho light smoker or the moder
ate drinker. Overindulgence temporarily
stimulates one out of hj lassitude and
stupidity
petite, I vomit occasionally, I suffer more
or less constant mild pnln and I have lost
about 13 pounds in weight. Friends tell
mo it is catarrhal dspepsla. Do you
agree?
Answer Yes. you navo nyspepsln all
right, and call It "catarrhal" If that
means anything to you. Hut we should
strongly suspect cancer of tho stomach
If you were In our clutches, and we
should urge an exploratory operation at
once. "Djspepsia" and "catarrh" nre
two names without significance unless
you know the causes at play In every
case.
Diet and Food Values
Kindly suggest some books suitable for
a lay reader upon the subject of diet and
food values.
Answer Kach of the following contains
valuable Information: "Food Vulues," by
Locke: "How to Live," by Fisher and
Flsk; "Dietetics," by Hall; "What Shall
I Eat?" by Gouraud-Ttebman and I'yle's
"Personal Hygiene."
The recent snowstorm brought happi
ness, a pleasant surprlso and oven con
gratulations to 12-year-old Mildred Henry,
of 407 South 21th street.
Mildred, or I.lttlr Miss Fortunate, as
sho is being culled by her friends today,
wns on hcr way to St. Tatrlck's parochial
school last Thursday morning when her
sharp pjcs spied an unusual-looking ob
ject lying In the clear, crisp, white snow
on Spruce street. It proved to bo a. hand
some solid gold cigaretto case.
Tho little girl, nltliough very much sur
prised, at once made up her mind to "re
turn the case to Its owner na soon as he
could be found. In fact, long, long ago,
both at school and at home, Mildred had
heard and knew Just what it meant lo bo
strictly honest. The Rveniko I.r.naEii
enlightened her whon sho read In It the
following advertisement:
CIGAIlETTn OASIJ-Lost. Tliurwlay, Ki-bru-ary
.'!, on Spruce t , between 20th ami 21st,
pom cigarette iac eneraieil "A. V. 1'."
I.lbcrul reuurri. 212,1 Spruce st.
The owner proved to bo nono other than
Augusto F. Pulldo, of 2123 Spruce street,
n former Chargo d'Affnlres at tho Ven
ezuelan legation In Washington.
Mildred, bearing her prized find, called
at tho Spruco street residence. Senor
1'olldo congratulated mademoiselle for
hcr honesty and received his valuable
cigaretto caso almost with open arms.
In fact, ho was overjoyed. So was hIip.
Now Mildred Is thinking of opening a
bank account. Her llrst deposit will bo
n crisp yellowback; as for the denomina
tion of the bill-well, It can't be spelled
even In four letters. Were alio a trllle
younger, she certainly would believe In
fairies!
Mildred's father Is Bernard Henrv. a
bailiff m tho United States Circuit Court
In the Federal Ilulldlng.

His brain 1 clearer
TKENTON, N. J.. Feb. 5. "nilly" Sun
day had nothing but sharp crltlcis. i for
Trenton's church peoplo In his sermon
last night.
The evangelist said that although the
collections yesterday were for a Tren
ton charity, the amount needed for tho
general expenses of the campaign, $23,000,
was still short C00. There is only one
causo for this, "Billy" said, and that Is
the small donations at the Sunday morn
ing services, composed almost entirely of
church people.
"The H00 the church peoplo give Sunday
mornings does not amount to a hill of
beans," he said. "I have never left a
town with the current expenses unpaid
and I am too old to begin now. Besides,
you folkB have too much civic pride to
have Trenton set such an example, and
I want the contributions of this Sunday
to wipe out the deticit.
"If I should stay In Trenton 60.000
years," he said, " would never again
ask you church people to be converted.
i, navo I'rsacnea lo you ror nvo weCKS
and there Is nothing more for me to say."
Three hundred answered his call for
trail-hitters.
"Mr. nnd Mrs Smith arrived by aero
plane at tho Hellcvue-Stratford landing
station today."
One may bo ablo to road this an
nouncement, not ns a forecast, but as
a fact, before many months. It plans,
under way to establish on tho Bellevuo
the only roof-landing stage for aeroplanes
In America, aro carried to their con
clusion. When thoy nrc, visitors from
the sky and thoso on tho suporlor
eminence on higher building will look
down upon nn Immcnso plane, flat as a
billiard tablo and running tho depth of
the hotel, from Broad street back to
Bellevuo Court, and nearly the cntlro
width of tho houc.
The Idea of putting the landing sta
tions on tho roof of tho Bcllovuo Is to
provide a landing placo in Philadelphia
for aeroplanes of tho Now York-Phlladol-phla-Baltlmore-Washmgton
line, a trans
portation lino that will be placed at the
scrvico of the public as soon as equip
ment is sulllclently perfected to mako tho
plan practicable.
EUHOPHAN LINES.
Ill several Continental cities before the
war there were regular lines of airships
running over given routes at regular In
tervals. Tho most notable of the lines
was that which carried tho passengers
In great Zeppelins, from Berlin to Dres
den. Tho service was well patronized,
and passengers came to look upon the
rldo as exhilarating as well as Bafe.
Such a line, but making uso of heavier-than-alr
machines, is the aim of the pro
motors who would convert tho roof of the
Bellevue Into the landing place for Phila
delphia-bound aeroplanes. Tho only ques
tion In the way of actually getting the
work under way Is that of tho mechanical
possibility of landing safely within the
area of the station. Skilled aviators, by
circling, ure able to come down almost
precisely at tho place they mean to strike
nnd to bring their machines to a stop
just where they wish.
MIGHT BE "TALL" DROP.
Tho landing surface, as It Is planned
for tho root of the Bellevue, would pro
vide a 300 - foot run for starting and
alighting, and a margin of 90 feet on
each side of the aeroplano as it comes
down. For tho experienced pilot, Buch a
landing should not bo too dlmcult, ex
perts say; but tho penalty for miscal
culation, or accident, would be a "tall"
drop Into Broad or V f 'nut streets, 17
stories below. Just how Much this would
appeal to passengers, In the present stato
of aeronautics, cannot be foretold.
Should It bo found, however, that tho
percentage of landings within such an
area Is 100, there is little doubt but that
adventurous souls would need llttlo per
suasion to attempt the trip.
SCHEME OF LANDINC-.
Tho financial side of the Bellevuo land
ing stago has not been worked out In de
tail, but the understanding Is that the or
ganization of an aeroplano line with a
Philadelphia destination would be fol
lowed very soon hy the construction of
the platform. Tho platform would bisect
the roof of the house from Broad street,
passing between tho northwest nnd south
west towers.
A small platform for passengers, con
nected by the runways with the hotel
elevator service, would parallel the great
landing stage.
