Red Hill was hemmed In by the
breathing silences of scattered woods,
open fields nnd the far reaches of
misty space, as though it were In hid
ing from the railroads, mills and high
ways of an age of hurry. Upon ita
long, level crest It bore but three cen
ters of life and a symbol—Maple
house, the Firs and Elm house, half
hidden from the road by their distinc
tive trees but as alive as the warm
oyeß of a relied woman; and the
church.
The church was but a symbol—a
mere shell. Within, it presented the
appearanco of a lumber room In dis
use, a playground for rats and a ha
ven for dust But without all waa aa
It had ever been, for the old church
was still beloved. Its fresh, white
walls and green shutters and the aspir
ing steeple, towering into the blue,
denied neglect and robbed abandon
ment of Its sting.
In the shadow of its walls lay an old
graveyard whose overgrown soil bad
long been undisturbed. Along the
single road which cut the crest of the
hill from north to south were ruins
of houses that once had sheltered the
scattered congregation. But the ruins
were hard to find, for they, too, were
overgrown by juniper, clematis and a
crowding thicket of mountain ash.
On these evidences of death and en
croachment the old church seemed to
turn its back as if by right of its fresh
walls and unbroken steeple it were
still linked to life. Through its small
paned windows it seemed to gaze con
tentedly across tl:o road at three
houses, widely separated, that half
faced it in a diminishing perspective.
The three houses looked toward the
sunrise; the church toward its de
cline.
On a day in early spring Alan Wayne
was summoned to Hed Hill. Snow still
hung in the crevices of East Moun
tain. On the bill the ashes, after the
total eclipse of winter, were meekly
donning pale greeu. The elms of Elm
house, too. were but faintly outlined In
verdure. Farther down the road the
maples stretched out bare, black limbs.
Only the firs, in a phalanx, scoffed at
the general spring cleaning and looked
old and sullen in consequence.
The colts, driven by Alan Wayne,
flashed over the brim of Red Hill on to
the level top. Coachman Jop's Jaw
was hanging in awe and so had bung
since Mr. Alan had taken the reins.
For the first time in (heir five years
of equal life the colts had felt the
cut of a whip, not in anger hut as a
reproof for breaking. Coachman .Toe
had braced himself for the bolt, his
hands itching to snatch the reins. But
there had been no bolting, only a sud
den settling down to business.
For the first time in their lives the
colts were being pushed, steadily,
evenly, almost—but never quite—to
the breaking point. Twice in the long
drive Joe gathered up his jaw and
turned his head, preparing spoken
tribute to a master hand. But there
was no speaking to Sir. Alan's face. At
that moment Joe was a part of the
seat to Mr. Alan. and. being a coach
man of long standing in the family, be
knew it.
"Couldn't of got here quicker if he'd
let 'em bolt." said he. in subsequent
description to the stable hand and the
cook. He snatched up a pall of water
and poured It steadily on the ground.
"Jest like that. He knew what was
In the colts the minute be laid hands
on 'em, and when he pulls 'em up at
the barn door there wasn't ft drop left
In their buckets, was there, Arthur?"
"Nary a drop," said Arthur, stable
hand.
"And his face." continued the coach
man. "Most times Mr. Alan has no
eyes to speak .of. but today and that
time Miss Nance struck him with the
hatpin—'member, cook ?—bis eyes
spread like a fire and eat up his face.
This is a black day for the Hill. Some
thin's going to happen. You mark
me."
In troth Mr. Alan Wayne had been
summoned in no equivocal terms and,
for all his haste, it was with nervous
step he approached the house.
Maple house sheltered a mixed
brood. J. Y. Wayne, seconded by Mrs.
J. Y., was the head of the famiiv
j medicine, but a physician's prescrip
tion; 60 years in use. Because of its
gentle laxative effect Father John's
i Medicine drives the impurities out of
the system and enables each organ to
! do its work.
It is in the getting-well stage, after
a cold or the grip, that the greatest
! danger lies. At this time, in order to
regain the strength you have lost you
i need a wholesome pure food medicine
j such as Father John's Medicine, the
I nourishing elements of which are
| easily taken up by the system. When
you ask for Father John's Medicine
be sure you get what you cal for.
Their daughter. Nance Sterling, and
her babies represented the direct line,
but the orphans. Alan Wayne and
Clematis McAlpln, were on an equal
footing as children of the house. Alan
was the only child of J. Y.'s dead
brother. Clemntls was also of Wayne
blood, but so intricately removed that
her exact relation to tLe rest of the
tribe was never figured out twice to
the same conclusion. Old Captain
Wayne, retired from the regular army,
was an uncle Ui a dinerent degree to
every generation of Wayne. He was
the only man on Red Hill who dared
call for a whisky and soda when he
wanted it.
When Alan reached the house Mrs.
J. Y. was In her garden across the
road, surveying winter's ruin, and
Nance with her children had borne
the captain off to the farm to see that
oft-repeated wonder and always wel
come forerunner of plenty, the quit*
new calf.
Clematis McAlphi, shy and long
limbed, Just at the awkward age when
woman misses being either boy or girl,
had disappeared. Where, nobody knew.
She might be bird's-nesting in the
swamp or crying over the "Idylls of
the King" in the barn loft. Certainly
she was not In the house. J. Y. Wayne
had seen to that. Stern and rugged of
face, he sat In the library alone and
waited for Alan. He heard a distant
screen door open nud slam. Steps
echoed through the louely house,
Alan came and stood before him.
Alan waa a man. Without being tall
he looked tall. His shoulders were not
broad till you noticed the sllmness of
his hips. His neck looked too thin
till you saw the strong set of his small
head. In a word: he bad the perfect
proportion that looUs frail and is
strong. A* he stood before his uncle
his eyes grew dull. They were slightly
bloodshot in the corners and with
their dullness the clear-cut lines of his
face seemed to take on a perceptible
blur.
J. Y. began to speak. He spoke for
a long quarter of an hour and then
summed np all be bad said in a few
"I've Tried to Win You."
words. "I've been no uncle to you.
Alan; I've been a father. I've tried
to win you. but you were not to be

CHAPTER 18
A single drop of blood with its
red and white corpuscles, contain
ing potassium, sodium, phos
phorus, calcium. niangncsium,
.sulphur, iron. etc.. Is sufficient to
confound all tlie wisdom of the
world.
We have seen the minerals that are
present in the internal secretions of
i the body.
It is evident that these minerals are
not present through the operation of
any blind accident. It is just as evi
dent that a profound intelligence has
regulated their presence and propor
tions. In the clearly disclosed evi
dences of the intelligence we behold
the workmanship of God.
Water forms about three-fourths of
the weight of the adult body and is
the medium in which the chemical
changes of the body are carried on.
We could transfer an iron tank
filled with pure sulphuric acid from
San Francisco to New York and back
again and the acid would not affect
the tank in any manner. But if we
Introduced water into that tank the
acid would immediately become ac
tive and destroy the tank.
In the case of the plant water is
so necessary that without it no plant
life can exist. Plants that have but
a single cell, which are not actually
immersed in water, are generally to
be found in more or less moist situa
tions where they continually obtain
supplies of water from dew or rain.
In times of drought they are seri
ously injured. The young cell which
is enclosed with a cell membrane
speedily shows a tendency to accumu
late water in Its interior. Gradually
drops of water appear, until ultimate
ly a vacuole, which is always full of
liquid is formed.
In the plant which consists of a
number of cells such a vacuole is
found In every adult cell as long as it
is living. In other words, healthy
protoplasm must always be in direct
contact with water. It is only while
saturated with water that the active
life of protoplasm can exist.
With very rare exceptions, if a cell
is once completely dried, even at a
low temperature, its life ia gone and
restoraton of water fails to enable it
to recover.
The life of a plant is intimately
connected with the renewal of the
water which ita cellß contain. Fresh
liquid must be constantly taken In and
that which Is already there must, to
a certain extent, be removed. The
plant demands, in fact, a kind of
circulation of water, and this becomes
the more imperative as the growth of
the plant increases.
-It has been proved that protoplasm,
which, as we have seen, is the active
substance found in every living cell
of plant or animal, draws its nutri
ment eventually from the water which
comes to it.
It has also been established that
protoplasm must return to this water
such waste products as it gives off.
It must obtain its oxygen, for In
stance, from water, for this element
can only pass into the interior of a
cell through the liquid which enters
that cell. Thus we see that water,
too, is wonderful medium through
which to convey the forces of life.
It is not difficult to believe, there
fore. that the body of a man weigh
ing 160 pounds, made up of more than
100 pounds of water, contains all that
water as the result of a fixed aw.
Of -the solid matter to be found In
the human body about one-fifth Is
made up of the minerals—iron, cal
cium, phosphorus, patassium, mag
nesium, manganese, sodium, sulphur,
silicon, fluorine, iodine, and chlorine.
Chlorides and phosphates with
carbonates and sulphates form the
chief of these mineral salts, as far as
weight is concerned, but some of the
salts which appear in mere traces,
such as fluorine and iodine, have es
sential functions to perform, and
without them there is much evidence
to support the assertion that human
life could not exist.
One of humanity's most con
spicuous sins of omission or neglect
has been its failure reverently to con-
I sider the majesty, the dignity, and
jthe complexity of the human body.
I which, considered apart from the hu-
I man soul, Is the most majestic work
lof creation. Let us for an instunt
examine a little detail of that majestic
' creation.
If we put. a trace of blood under the
microscope an astonishing picture is
witnessed. Hundreds of little cor
puscles are seen swimming about,
i Most of them are red, but a consider
able number are white.
A single drop of blood contains so
many millions of corpuscles, far more
than all the visible stars in the sky,
that less than a hundredth part of a
drop, the merest trace must be used
on the field under the objective in
order that we may see anything at all.
The red and white corpuscles alone
are sufficient to confound all the wis
dom of the world, but they are not
the only things discovered in that
fragment of a drop of blood.
In addition to them we find the
salts that we have seen, such as iron,
calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potas
sium, magnesium, sulphur, chlorine,
and many other compounds which we
shall not consider here.
?h ese substances are always found
when pure and normal blood is ex
amined, so that it is evident that they
must get into the blood through some
definite channel and in obedience to
some well-defined law. It has been
established on manv ocasions by
scientific investigators that the rod
and white corpuscles have certain
well-defined work to do. It is also
evident that anything which interferes
with their work or keeps them out
of the blood is an enemy of life.
To make that marvellously com
plex solution which we have seen lit
to call blood, Nature obtains her
building materials from food. Let us
emphasize this fact over and over
again. We can never attach to it too
great an importance. The character
of the blood depends upon the char
acter of the food supplied to the di
gestive organs. What kind of blood
is supplied to the nearly 400,000 chil
dren under ten years of age who die
every year in the United States. We
shall soon know.
