Helen went about the house doing
the hundred and one little duties that
€ llI ary was accustomed to fulfil. She
ought about Mary as she worked,
id wondered again what had hap
pened to Joe. and why. Nora had sent
for her sister.
As Warren had said to Helen, it
must have been something of import
ance to have Joe injured as he was,
and to have Xora who was an unusu
ally practical and efficient Irish girl
send for her sister In a panic-stricken
way that meant something out of the
ordinary.
Helen had just finished making the
beds, when the telephone rang, and
she hastened to answer. Mary's trem
bling voice came to her over the tele
phone, and soon as Helen heard It she
knew that things were serious.
"How is everything?" she question
ed.
"Oh, ma'am." said Mary's voice,
"things Is pretty bad. I wonder if
you could come down to us. Mrs.
Curtis; Joe is pretty bad. and Nora
keeps crying. I told Nora I'd ask
you; but if you can't come, Mrs.
Curtis, don't you bother."
"Of course. I'll come, Mary," said
Helen reassuringly. "I'm all dressed
and I'll come right along. I can
take care of the baby for Nora any-
To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
Most people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. It's all bosh to say that this
is the. nature of the individual. It
Isn't Nature's way at all.
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers of assimilation are defec
tive. They absorb just enough of the
food they eat to maintain life and a
semblance of health and strength.
Stuffing won't help them. A dozen
meals a day won't make them gain a
single "stay-there" pound. All the fat
producing elements of their food just
stay there in the intestines until they
pas# .from the body as waste. What
such people need Is something that
will prepare these fatty food elements
so that their blood can absorb them
and deposit them all about the body—
something too, that will multiply
their red blood corpuscles and increase
their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition it Is well to
recommend eating a Sargol tablet with
every meal. Sargol is not, as some be
lieve a patented drug, but is simply a
careful combination of six of the most
effective and powerful assimilative and
flesh building elements known to
chemistry. It is absolutely harmless,
yet has been wonderfully effective and
a single tablet eaten with each meal
often, according to reports of users,
has the effect of Increasing the weight
of a thin man or woman from three
to five pounds a week. Sargol is sold
by G. A. Gorgas, and other good drug
gists everywhere on a positive guar
antee of weight increase or money

If tomatoes, cucumbers, strawber

agree with you and make your stomach
sour or burn, producing acid Indiges
tion. don't think you must give up eat
ing these good things and do no?,
either, make the mistake of swallowing
pepsin or soda pills after every meal.
Instead just make a practice of taking
a teaspoonful of pure bisurated mag
nesia in half a glass of hot water right
after eating. The hot water will force
a needed blood supply to your stomach
and the bisurated magnesia will in
stantly neutralize any excess of stom
ach acid and your digestion will be na
tural and painless. Bisurated mag
nesia is not a laxative and its continued
use, is entirely harmless as it never
weakens natural digestion. It can be
obtained at all well stocked drugstores
Be sure to get Bisurated Magnesia. Do
not use other forms of magnesia for
this purpose.—Advertisement,

TUESDAY EVENING,
way, and I want to hear about
everything."
Helen put on her hat hurriedly
after Mary had rung off and hurried
downstairs and into the subway.
Nora had a neat little flat in the
Bronx, and Helen was going up the
long winding stairs twenty minutes
after Mary had rung her up. She
knocked at the door of the flat,
which was opened a second later by
Mary.
"Oh, Mrs. Curtis." said the girl
■with trembling lips, "I am that glad
to see you. Come right in."
Nora at Joe's Side.
Helen followed Mary in. The
wails of a small baby filled the air
with stifled sobs. Nora was hud
dled in a little heap by the side of
the bed where Joe was lying. She
looked up as Helen entered and
smiled faintly. Helen crossed over
to her and laid her cool hand on the
girl's cheek.
"Come, Nora," she said firmly,
when she saw that Joe lay with his
eyes closed. "You're not helping Joe
: any by sitting here. Have you had
any breakfast?"
Nora shook her head, but she re
laxed a little and allowed Helen to
lead her Into the kitchen where Slary
had made coffee, and an appetizing
smell of hot toast filled the air.
Mary had the t>aby in her arms and
was hushing it to sleep. Nora dropped
Into the chair by the table and looked
up at Helen wanly.
"I want you to drink this cup of
coffee," said Helen firmly, "and then
. I want you to tell me all about it."
I She spoke with an air of authority that
| convinced Nora, somehow. Anyway
the girl began to break up the toast
and a few minutes ater was sipping
the hot liquid.
| "Joe was cut," she sobbed out fin
ally, pushing back the cup, and then
the tears came and Nora cried and
cried and Helen sat with the girl's
tumbled head against her shoulder
and tried to soothe her. As soon as
j she was more calm, she began to tell
i Helen the story lucidly.
| "It happened early this morning,"
i she explained, drawing a long breath.
"Joe went up on tho roof to get some
( clothes I had forgotten. There was a
; cute little kid from the floor upstairs
up there hanging up some things on
: the line. She's only about fourteen.
Joe said something to her and she
laughed. Joe was just coming down
j the stairs when he heard her cry, and
i he dropped the clothes and climbed
[ back."
Nora was speaking quickly now, lost
in the excitement of her story. "There
• was a big man up there with his arms
around the kid. and Joe said that was
j all he remembered. He just grabbed
j for him. and it would have been all
; right but the man had a knife."
j Helen was listening, absorbed in the
I tale. It sounded like a story out of a
' book, she could hardly believe that
; such a thing had happened to plain,
honest Joe, little Nora's husband.
"Go on, Nora," she prompted.
"It was the knife." Nora said. "The
j man cut him three times, and once in
| the eye. Oh, Mrs. Curtis when I saw
the blood, I couldn't even see Joe; it
was terrible." And Nora's eyes filled
j with tears again.
"Did they get the man?" said
Helen,
Helen Reassures.
"Yes, ma'am; they got him right
outside. He went down the skylight of
j the house next door, but they got him.
nd Joe had to be sewed up, and the
I doctors gave him something to make
i him sleep."
; "But of course, you're proud of Joe,
i Nora," Helen said, "and you're glad he
saved the little girl, aren't you? You
ought to think about that. Why. it
j makes him a regular hero."
I Mary had hushed little Michael, who
I had fallen finally into an uneasy sleep,
and the little flat was once more quiet.
I "Did the doctor say Joe would be
| all-right?" Helen questioned,
j "Oh. yes," said Nora, eagerly; "but
his eye was nearly pat he has a
long cut just above It."
: "I know, Nora's It's just horrible,
but now that you know he's all right,
I you don t have to worry any more.
You ought to buckle up so that when
ho is himself again you'll be able to
make him laugh and be happy."
And ha ain't going to lose anything
from his job," put in Mary, eagerly.
* The run was here this morning, and
said so.
"That's right," Nora agreed, with
shining eyes; "it might have been a
lot worse."
"Of course It might; that's the way
to look at It," Helen said, smiling.
' Now, why don't you tidy up the place
and get the baby to bed, and then
Mary can stay with you till Joe is feel
ing better."
Nora smiled her thanks, her blue
eyes once more the wide Irish eyes
that were so attractive. As they went
into the next room again a low knock
came at the door and a minute later a
fat woman pushed her head through
the opening and whispered a question
"Come In, Mrs. McCarthy,' said
Nora. "How's Nellie? This is the
mother of the little girl, Mrs. Curtis,"
Nora explained to Helen and Helen
smiled sweetly on the woman who be
gan a eulogy on Joe's bravery. Nora
was the hostess again, and she hustled
back into the kltohen to make some
strong tea for all hands around.
Helen settled tack Into her chair
with a feeling of well being. Things
were going all right now, and she must
hurry home in a few minutes and get
lunch for Warren. He would bo anx
ious to hear all about it.

Gen. Pershing Compliments 1
Men of His Expedition
By Associated Press
Field Headquarters American Puni
tive Expedition, Aug. 21, by radio to
Columbus, N. M., Aug. 22.—Warlike
efficiency radiated from the ranks of
the troops of his command who
passed in review to-day before Gen
eral J. J. Pershing, leader of the ex
pedition.
"The finest body of men I ever had
the pleasure of commanding," de
clared the General after the last
wagon rumbled past, "and fit for any i
action."
Perfectly drilled and equipped, the
5,000 men made an impressive spec
tacle. A picturesque touch was the
appearance on the scene of three aero
planes, which came through the
morning mist and skimmed Just above
the moving columns.
ACQUIT STRIKE LEADERS
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 22.—The syndi
cate leaders responsible for the recent
strike that tied up the transportation,
light and water supplies of Mexico
City have been acquitted of the charge
of rebellion by the special courtmar
tial trying their cases, according to
newspapers arriving from Mexico to
day. However, the men were not set
at liberty, as they will be tried in the
civil courts for offenses connected
with the strike, such as fomenting dis
order and committing acts of violence.
