as beautiful as ever. She has such an
exquisite skin and piett hair, and those
I things do add to one's appearance, there s

What a change vears make! Do vou
ever go back to the time when Laura and
Elsie Whelen and their cous'n. Violet
Whelen were among the voungei tel, and
everv one was talking about their beaut v
and attractiveness' Pool Violet' What
a tragfcdv that all was Will vou ever
forget the pom in? lain file da v. of her
wedding' She was muiried at Holv
Trlnltv Church and Elsie was her maid of
honor and was dressed entlrcl.v in violet,
while the bildesmalds combined violet and
blue In their costumes Violet, who was
extremely artistic, w ante J to carr.v out
her name In hei wedding attendants'
frocks
Violet man led Malcolm Gieenough, of
Cleveland, and they were ideallv happv
until his sudden death some Ave months
after the wedding Violet returned to her
home and died several months aftcrwaid
through some complication that attended
I ' the birth of small Malcolm. Charlie, her
I. brother, came on to her funeral, con
tracted a cold and died within ten dajs of
pneumonia.
Mr. and Mis Whelen kept the little
Greenough boy and moved from their
home on Walnut above Twentieth street to
2135 Walnut, the house where the Wai-
t laces now live. But tragedy seemed to be
their lot, for within two years of their
rfjnovlng there both were stilcken with
different mortal sicknesses and, unable to
see each other, though In adjoining looms,
died within two or three days of each
other. And the sole survivor of that
charmlns famllj, small Malcolm CSieen-
ough, returned to his father's people In
Cleveland It was a most pathetic and
sorrowful thing.
Elsie Whelen, jou remember, married
Bob Goelet, of New YorkT and was later
divorced from him Several years ago she
Married Heniy Clews and when last heaid

Peggy was still a bit uncertain as to

I'll go, because I think that s an honest

Blue Jay straight in the face He laughed
again, while Bhe ran downstairs to the front

morning paper, newlv arrived, stared up
at her with big headlines:
"First National Bank robbed," she read
aloud "Bandit takes $50,000 of Liberty
Bond money belonging to the Government"
"Bandit that's what ou called me," gig
gled Blue Jay. "But what is money? I
never stole that."
'Money Is paper and silver and gold"
"Like this?" Blue Jay opened his claw
and there rolled out on the porch a large
gold piece,
'Wh.' yes. Where did ou get that?"
Peggy was much astonished
"In our hollow tree at Bandits Roost, and
I think I know where the bandit Is that

k&Tl'T I was flabbergasted when a woman
- tai kied the Job and began to make
love to me actually make love to me one
dav when Jam p hack was turned Gorrv ' po
I look ueh a fool n that Mr Smith" Well
an) how there won t be nnv more of that kind
nor anvhodv after mv monev now, I gucf s. '
he finished with a age wag ef his head as he
turned awav
To Miss Maggie that evening Mr Smith
said after recounting the earlier portion of
the conversation ' So )ou see )ou were right
aftir s'l I shall have to own It up Mr
Prank Blalsde'l had plenty to retire upon
but nothing to retire to But I in glad If
he s happv now "
And he Isn t the only one that that $40 000
loss has done a good turn to, ' nodded Miss
Maggie Melllcent has Just been here You
know she s home from school It s the Kaster
v leatloi anvwav but she isn t going back
It s too expensive '
MKs Maggie spoke with Ftudled ca'iialness,
hut there was an added color tn her cheeks
Mlis Maggie alwavs flushed a little when she
mentioned Melllcent s name to Mr Smith in
plte of hei indignant efforts not to do so
'Oh. Is that Hue1
v,cs Well the Pennocks had a dance last
night and Mellicent went She said he had
to laugh to see Mis Pennock's efforts to keep
carl aw a) fiom her the loss of the mone) is
known everv where now and has been greatlv
exaggerated I ve heaid She ald that even
Hlbbard Gavlord had the air of one trvlng
to let her down eas) Melllcent was lm
mensel) amued '
'Where was Donald Grav "'
Oh he wasnt there He doesn t move in
the Pennock crowd much But Mellicent
ees him, and and ever) thine s all right
there, now That's w h) Mellicent is so
happv '
You mean Has her mother given In'
Ys You see Jane was at the dance too
and she saw Carl, and she saw Hlbbard
Gavlord And she was furious She told
Melllcent this morning that she had her
opinion of fellows who would show so plainly
as Carl Pennock and Hlbbard Gavlord did
that it was the monev thev were after"
' I m afraid Mrs Jane has changed her
shoes again ' murmured Ml Smith his ee
merrv ' Has changed oh'" Miss Maggies puzzled
frown gave wav to a laugh 'Well ves, per
haps the shoe Is on the other foot again
But, an) wav, she doesn't love Carl or Hlb
bard nnv more and she docs love Donald
Gra) He Insn t let the loss of the money
make an) difference to him, vou see He's
been even more devoted, if an) thing She
told Melllcent this morning that he was a
verv estimable )oung man and she liked him
vcrv much Perhaps )ou sec now why
Melllcent Is happ) "
'Good' I'm glad to know It,' cried Mr
Smith hearlilv "I'm glad ' His face
changed surtdenl) His ocs grew somber
"I'm glad the loss of the mone) brought
them some happiness If the posscslon of it
didn't," he finished moodll), turning to go to
his own room At the hall door he paused
and looked back at Miss Maggie, standing
b) the table gazing after hltn with troubled
oes 'Did Melllcent sa) whether Tred was
there" ' he aked
'Yes Sh said he wasnt there He
didn't come home for this vacation at all
She said she didn t know wh). I suspect
Mellicent doesn t know an) thing about that
wretched affair of his"
'We'll hope not So the )oung gentleman
didn t show up at all?"
"No. nor Bessie Sho went home with
a Long Island girl Hat tie didn't go to the
Pennocks' el, her Hattie has has been very
different since this affair of Prcd s I think
it frightened hei terriblv it was so near a
tragedv , the bov threatened to kill himself
vou know, if his fatr.cr didn't help him out "
'But his fatliir did help him out' tlared
the man irritably
v.es. I know he did: and Im afraid he
found things iu a prettv bad mess when
he got there," sighed Miss Maggie It was
a bad mess all around"
'You ae exactly right'" ejaculated Mr
Smith "with sudden and peculiar emphasis
II is, indeed, a had mess all around, ' he
growled as he disappeared througli the door
Behind hi n Miss Maggie still stood motion
less looking after him with troubled e)es
As the spring da)s grew warmer, Mi-s
Maggie had occasion many times to look
after Mr Smith with troubled e)es She
could not understand him at all One dav
he would be the o'd delightful companion
genial, cheer), generous!) donating a box
of chocolates to the centertable bonbon dish
or a dozen hothouse roses to the mantel vase
The next, he would be nervous, abstracted
almost Irritable Yet she could see no possi
ble reason for the change
Sometimes she wondered fearfullv If Melli
cent could have an) thing to do with it Was
it possible that lie had cared for Melllcent,
and to see her now so happy with Donald
Gii was more than he could bear? It did
not seem credible There was his own state
ment that be had devoted himself to he
Foleh and onl) to help keep the undesirihle
lovers aw a) and give Donald Gra) a chance
Besides had he not said that he was nol
a marr)lng man an)w.a) ' To be sure, that
seemed a pit) a man so kind and thought
ful and so dellghtfull) companionable' But
then. It was nothing to her. of course onl)
she did hope he was not feeling unhapp)
over Melllcent '
Miss Maggie wished, too. that Mr Smith
would not bring flowers and candv so often
It worried her She felt as if he were spend
ing too much mone) and she had got the
impression in some aj that he did not lnvt
an) too much mnne to spend And there
were the expensive motor trips, loo she
feared Mr Smith was extravagant. et she
could not tell him so, of course He never
seemed to realize the value of a dollar an)
wa) and he verv obviously did not know
hpw to get the most out of it Look at his
foolish generosK) in regard lo the board he
paid her'
Miss Maggie wondered sometimes If it
might not be worn over money matters that
was making him so mrvous and irritable on
occasions now Plainl) he was very near
the end of his work there in Hlllerton He
was not getting so in in) letters on Blalsdell
matters from aw a) either
For a month, now he had done nothing
but a useless repetition of old vvork, and of
late, a good deal nf the time, he was not even
making that pretense of being busy For
da)s at a time he would not touch his records
That could mean but one thing, of course ,
his vvork was done Yet he seemed to be
making no move toward departure Not that
she wanted him to go She should miss
him very much when he went, of course. But
she did not like to feel that he was staying
simply because he had nowhere to go and
nothing to do. Miss Maggie did not believe
In able bodied men who had nowhere to go
and nothing to do and she wanted very
much to believe In Mr Smith.
She had been under the Impression that
he was getting the Blalsdell material together
for a book, and that he was Intending to
publish it .himself He had been ver) happy
and interertcd. Now he was unhappy and
uninterested. His book must be ready, but
he was making no move to publish It. To
Miss Maggie this could mean but one thing,
some financial reverses had made it Impossl
ble for him to carry out his plans, and had
left him stranded with no definite aim for
the future. .
She was so sorry! but there seemed to be
nothing that she could do She had tried to
help by Insisting that he pay less for his
board; but he had not only scouted that
Idea, but had bought her more chocolates
and flowers than ever for all the world as
if he had divined, her suspicions and wished
to disprove them.
That Mr. Smith was trying to keep some
thing from herTMlsa Maggie waa sure She
was the more sure, perhaps, because she
herself had something that (be vvao. trying

to keep from Mr Smith and she thought
she tecognlzed the s)mptoms

CHAPTER XXII

The Boj of Galilee
There was a Boj walked once In Galilee
A child whose grace and sweetness were
from God
The steep and rugged paths he dail) trod
And walked trje )ellow sands along the sea
And ever) little child is lnpper now
Because of him, the Bov of Galilee
There was a Toller once In Galilee,
patient Worker at a lowlv trade
Around his feet the little children pla)ed,
And tossed the curl) shavings up with glee
Now everv sordid task is glorified
Because of Him who tolled in Galilee
The waves still lap the shores of Galilee,
And laborers plod from dawn till day Is
done
He piles no more his task till setting sun,
No longer treads the sands along the sea:
But in the worlds great heart he lives

General Health of City Reported
Low Compared With Other
Cities
The first Illness survey ever made In this
cltv has Just been completed, showing health
conditions here to be nmonR the .worst In
the eountry
HcRlstered nurses canvassed 12,lp'9 per
toiis. Klve hundred and fourteen !ases of
lP'ies were discovered or at a rate of 42 8
per 1000 These figures compare unfavorable
with survevs made elsewhere Conditions
In re are twice as had as In Rochester. N T.,
and almost five times as bad a3 thoso In
Itoston
The recent influt of HCRroes from the
5-outh tin, been a great factor in Increasing
thn iltvs mortalltj ii well as morbidity,
Ir Charl Scott Miller, chief of the Bureau
of Vital Statistics, declares Doctor Miller
conducted the lllnes suivey.
Doctor Miller deplores the failure of many
plivslclans to report Illness from tuberculosis
until the cases have become desperate His
leport has been submitted to the Philadelphia
tuherculnsls committer
The report states that all mortality sta-
tltlcs from the vear 1910 ere reclassified,
showing a greater number of deaths from
tub.ritilosls than published reports would In-
dlcate It continues
The pioportlon of negroes to whites who
were affected with pulmonary conditions Is
surprislnglv hlg.i Colds bronchitis, grip,
etc run In some cases more than EO per
cent higher in the negro than In the white.
Many are classed under the heading 'colds,
w nlcli should properly he classed under the
heading tuberculosis On the other hand,
bronchitis and asthma are frequent diagnoses
imong this clas3 of persons to cloak' real
Hibeiculosls
In some instances our enumeiators found
that persons attending to tuberculosis dls
pensirles came across whole families suf
fering from the sn called bronchitis Gen
eial diseases of course, take predominance
Iu eontrastlrg the total causes of disability
t hronlc rheumatism Minds high in the popu
Ibtlon between the age period of thirty-five
to flft-four vears Diseases of the resplra
torv svstem take second place for all age
giotips while diseases of the nervous system
and special organs take third p'ace."
I nde r the auspices of the Philadelphia
lommittee a movement recently was
launched among negroes for the purpose of
cl reklng the spread of tuberculosis and
therchv improving the general health of the
cltv
I! N Whaley, secretary for the committee,
said
Doctor Millers report clearly shows our
duts The checking of tuberculosis means
an Improved community health and a lower
ing In numbers of men of arms-bearing age
who nt various training camps are being
phvsicallv disqualified fiom m lltary service
The iimj needs health) men It is our duty
to sec that it gets them "
