"Is he alive?"
Yalerie Cosby breathed the ques- |
tion timidly, staggering back against
a slim birch as she spoke.
Evvy Mason stared up at her in- '
scrutably, still wearing that strange
look of triumph 1 had glimpsed on
her face when we came upon her
there at the river's brink with Shel- j
don's motionless figure gathered in '
her arms and held against her
breast.
"Anne, come lay your hand on his j
heart," said Evvy. in a voice that ,
had the hush of air before a storm.
These were the first words she had j
spoken to me since the day she ,
flung Meal's ring at him and hurled |
out at Jim and me her hatred and .
scorn. 3 , ~
Queerly enough, her words held j
the ring of possessiveness. It was j
as if she had said:
"This is my boy. I do not know
if he lives or not. I hardly care. |
lie is my boy. 1 know this. And j
it is enough."
Somehow I felt' as if I had heard 1
her say it as 1 started across the l
torn earth which separated us. Yal I
still hung crouched against the frail \
support of her white birch. Evvy
seemed not to know the other wont- j
an was there. She kept her eyes !
fixed on mine while ! and put !
my hand inside the silk of his pleat- '

TUESDAY EVENING,
Ed shirt and felt Sheldon's wayward
heart, without movement now and
yet still warm.
"I can't feel it beat." I whispered
as if in the presence .of deuth.
'Give me a mirror!"
Evvy flung out the command tone
lessly. And Yal staggered down to
us, as -she came fumbling to draw
a little vanity case of blue enamel
from u bag oY rich brocade.
"Take it. Anne. Hold it to his
lips." Evvy ordered.
I held the glass to Sheldon's lips
and brought it away clear—unmist
ed. Evvy bowed her head for a mo
ment.
"But I heard him speak." 1 said.
"Yes. you heard him speak. He
knew me. He told me—what I will
never forget." said Evvy.
She spoke to me. But now I knew
that she spoke through me to Yal.
"What did he tell you?" cried Yal.
"What did he tell you'.' We weren't
coming to see you. it was to spend
the day with Anne. She had asked
me to Dreamwood. You had asked
me. hadn't you. Anne? Tell her
so!"
"I had asked you," T said, repeat
ing her formula.
Evvy looked up at us with scorn
In her eyes. She ignored the words
Yal had cried out for me to repeat.
"Do you think it is too late.
Anne, to make up to Jim for—
everything*)" she asked strangely.
"Do you think —what he told me
now—is the last message he will
ever have for me?"
"We must get doctors!" 1 cried.

pillow she made of her tan camel's- |
' hair coat. And as we worked to '
j make the still form ' comfortable" j
j 1 noticed with amazement that j
■ Sheldon's stormy, insolen, face was j
strangely peaceful and .hat he |
smiled. Sheldon Blake, dashing at I
fifty miles an hour over a precipice J
to the death that had pounced on I
i him in a few brief minutes, wore
I a smile more peaceful than any I'd ,
ever seen him wear in dife.
When we had laid Sheldon on the
ground Evvy knelt by him for a
; moment. Then she rose and stood
' lacing Yal. Never have 1 seen a
\ greater contrast than those two
women offered.
Evvy stood slim and virginal in
i a dress of soft blue which matched
' her eyes. On her head was a tam-
I o'-shanter of the same blue. Though
i her face was pale it shone with a
! light I'd never seen on it before.
' Her figure was little, insignificant
| even, in its lithe boyishness. But
lie.r face had power. v Something
had happened in the minutes she
1 was alone with Sheldon Blake.
| Something had gone from his voice
j into her soul.
It had changed Evvy Mason. That
j I felt. But what the change was
1 could hot guess. Nor could I for |
one moment imagine what words
Sheldon Blake might speak to bet
in two or three brief minutes that
1 could make me suddenly feel awe
j and respect for this girl I had al- ;
ways disliked.
Val cowered away from the blue j
] ice of Evy's glance. Yal, the cool |
and in dolent; Yal. the perfectly |
! groomed und creamy, was crimson
now —-dishevelled, bruised and bat
i tered by the acc'dent which had ta
j ken Sheldon's life and yet left him
j unmarred and beautiful.
There was mud and dirt caked on
] Yal's cheek where an ugly gash
J still sent a red trickle through the
• plaster"of soil. One sleeve was
i torn from her suave black satin
1 dress and her hat had fillen from
her head, leaving her smooth black
hair in a gvpsyish tangle such as r
had never known it could suggest.
Her lips were a bluish purple. She
looked hideous, a caricature of the
perfectly coiffed, smooth mask I
had always seen her wear.
Booking at her like this, I sud
•denly visioned puffy white hands
fearlessly beating out the flames
that threatened Lacy Willoughby's
face. Then I saw that from her
torn sleeve the arm and hand
1 dangled helpless. But it was her
eyes that drew me, for they were
fixed on Evv Mason with sheer ter
ror widening their narrow inscruta
bility to pools of dark horror.
Yal said nothing. But I seemed
to hear her plead with Evy:

i I am only twenty, and have al
j ways been so happy and carefree |
| and had such jolly times with the j
girls—and the boys, too, —but most j
| always in parties or groups. * * * |
j We loved to go out for sailing trips |
I or bathing or boating in a crowd
i of young folks, and have always en- 1
| joyed ourselves. 1 have often been ]
known as "Smiles" for my constant ;
! laughter and merry ways, and when- !
ever we took, pictures 1 never dis- I
played a serious face—it would seem
unnatural, until about two weeks j
ago while talking to one of the old- ;
er girls at the office 1 was advised i
that my face was wrinkling—think j
of it at twenty! Because of laughing j
so much. * * * At first I laughed
at her, too. but she insisted it caused j
deep mouth lines, aad when 1 reach- ]
ed home and looked into the miror, J
without smiling, 1 found it to be (
true. 1 never took not.ee of it be
fore, but now whenever 1 am out
and enjoying myself I will uncon
sciously sec my shadow and think
of those horrible old lines, and it
makes me so miserable.
Since then I have studied other
toiks' faces in cars, etc., and. 1 no
tice mostly only older women and
older girls huve these marks. I'd die
J if 1 had to be so solemn and afraid
to laugh. Please advise me.
Go right on laughing!
Laughing is one of the most beau
tiful things in all the world. The
only fountuin of youth we've ever
j discovered springs from laughter. It
; tides us over the stiffest climbs and
the steepest tumbles, and it makes
up to us for disappointment and
failure.
In age most faces are traced with
lines and set with wrinkles. Those
age marks tell sad stories of dis
appointment. failure and heartache.
It is as if many of .the faces we
see in passing were ledgers of con
cerns that aren't "going"—and that
never would have been started if
their owners had known what they
know to-day.-

cheeks hollowed by care, eyes dis

While there is no great variety of fubrics this season, such as we
have is choice. It Is u matter of quality rather than quantity. Most of
the smart street suits are of iluvetyn or velour, the ttvo fabrics ' upon
which Parisian modistes have put their stamp of upprovul. These come
!n a wide runge of colors, from taupe through all the shades of brown,
including Havana, polished copper, mouse gray, bottle green and wine
color. Such a smart suit is pictured herewiUi in taupe velour. Its cut is
on severely straight lines, equally good either for the slender or the stout
figure, accentuating the former and maKing it appear even more svelte,
diminishing the latter, because of its plainness. A one-piece moleskin
collar and vest nre its only adornment, thus furnishing the one elegant
touch to an otherwise severely pluin garment. Note the upturned velvet
brimmed hut, with its perky little coque feather trimming. It Un style
well suited to a youthful face. Two-toned button shoes are ten per eont.
strong, according to all the Fifth Aenue shops. In- this caAe it is taupe
; kid tipiugKt and patent kid vamps. A perfect tout ensemble! j
they've looked. Figures bent by the
weight of cruelty and trouble they've
had to bear. Hands twisted and
warped by reaching for the things
which were denied them either by a
cruel fate or by merciless competi
tors in life's game. These
are the signs and tokens of hu
manity we see everywhere we go.
They're sad. aren't 'they'.' They
take the glory out of the day like
clouds drifting /icross the sun's sur
face.
Don't you find yourself losing
your faith in things when one de
jected, disappointed, defeated look
ing human after another shambles
past you? Don't you find yourself
wondering what chance you stand in
a world which appears to have used
others so ill? Doesn't your courage
ooze away at signs of failure and de
feat on every side?
But how about your feelings when
buoyant, happy, courageous people
drift across your vision?
You find yourself perking up and
swinging back your shoulders in im
itation of the courage you see. You
find yourself smiling back at life
with some of the cheer a brave,
smiling face radiates. Don't you?
Unless you're a bitter misan
thrope who hates to see joy, or a
jealous brute who envies all happi
ness not his own, you naturally re
spond to the positiveness of cheer
and courage.
A smile Is the otitward sign and
portent of a brave, gay, sweet spirit.
The lines laughter leaves are the
tracks of a smile.
A face which is wrinkling at
twenty because of smiling, and the
gay and merry spirit that inspires
the smiles, is a face that is adopting
lines of sweetness. No cold cream
or massage that smoothes out a
beautiful expression and leaves in
its stead a cold mask of immobility
is to be regarded as a kindly influ
ence.
The lines the laughter leaves are
the lines of courage and cheer and
gallant gayety in the face of life's
many tragedies. They are lines of
beauty. Leave, tbem In pride and the
happy assurance that such lines
mark the face that wins love.

II Thin and Nervous
Try Hiiro-Phosphate
While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals, it Is a
well-known fact that the lack of
phosphorous in the human system is
very largely responsible tor this con
dition. ■
It seems to be well established that,
this deficiency in phosphorous may
now be met by the use ol Bitro-
Phosphate, which can be obtained
from any good druggist in convenient
tablet form.
In many Instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change—
nerve tension disappears, vigor and I
strength replace weakness and lack
of energy and the whole body loses
Its ugly hollows and abrupt angles,
becoming enveloped in a glow of per- ,
feet health and beauty and the will
and strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION: —White Bitro-Phosphate j
is unsurpassed for the relief of
nervousness, general debility, etc..
those taking It who do not desire to ,
I put on flesh should use, extra car in
i avoiding fat-producing; foods.
