My heart began hammering again with a recurrence of the terror I'd felt down in the ravine when the wrecked car crashed toward the river. What had Evvy Mason done - .' Where was Yal? There is a little balcony overhang ing the Mason Towers side of Dreu mtyold. It runs along under the windows of the blue room and the two rooms beyond. In one dash 1 was at the big French windows which give on this balcony, tiling them wide and ran out. But Yal was nowhere to be seen. Half desperately my eyes travelled down to the dark, densely-wooded slope that leads to the river bank. Then a sound within the room attracted me. I turned and stepped in through the window. There was Yal lean ing heavily against the door of the big closet on the side of the room between the windows and door and just opposite tlie bed. "Yal!"

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPIf LITTLE TALKS BY BEA TRICE FAIRFAX ; | Did you ever meet a single soul | who wouldn't ruther look at a j pretty pink rosebud than at a j withered old rose? And how | many people do you know who nc j tually prefer a dirty and ragged I small boy whose face was washed ; some time within the week to a | pretty baby, rosy and clean '.'" Or ! maybe you've met folks who prefer 1 gazing on a broken-down cab horse i sleek, chestnut coat of a splendidly ! groomed thoroughbred—'that's ab i surd, isn't it. All right. We agree. And agree | ing, we share the premises of our argument. Now. then, don't you know plenty of folks who just naturally get an ' attack of envy whenever they see a handsome man or a pretty girl? i "He can't be any account," says Clarence scornfully, of Edgar i "He's too darn good-looking to ! amount to shucks. Well, of course, the well-favored human does get a little headstart over the homely one because of our aforesaid love of beauty and lie may lean a little heavily on the idea that handsome does as' hand some is. But an idea is a weak sister on which to do a lot of leun ing. You have to bolster it up with] a whole lot of good faith and per- ■ formance if you count on it to | support you. So, if Miss Beauty and Afr. Hand- | some are that and nothing more, j where .does it get them? And if] they get nowhere in this world of j ours, what possible reason is] there for envying them? But if the good-looking human j has a soul to match and a brain worthy of its setting, what jaun- j diced creatures we must be to have j malice and hate in our hearts for | a being who brings real contribu- j tions to life. The other day I saw beauty—Just! as beauty, and nothing more —just- ify itself. I was lunching frugally | (and unwisely) at a little white- j tiled restaurant where the Danish | buttercake is a thing to dream; about. Next eat a pretty, rosy-1 faced girl, with marvellous big. brown eyes and a madonna brow, over which hair drooped softly from I' a center parting. We faced the big glass show win- . dow, in which were temptingly ar- j rayed pastries and buns and j breads and cakes of the sort to i make a fatmau shoot on sight any doctor who says: "Eliminate starch from your diet." And to that window full of cinna mon cakes and blueberry tarts came two ragged looking citizens who stood gazing from pricelist to window and back again with faces telling all too well that even a quar ters' worth of lunch was beyond ( them. Unshaven, ragged and bitter of mouth and eye, they stood there —inflammable material for the red flames of anarchy to set ablaze. Suddenly one of them looked into the restaurant. His face was working with hate and resentment. | You could just see his mind ques-i tioning the whole scheme of things and his feelings lashing the fortu- | nates who had the price of the j meal he craved. And then, his eyes faltered across: the face, of the pretty girl. They turned away. Returned. Eingercd. THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE .Nothing; I.lke Plain Rltro-Phonpliiite to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh nml to Increnne Strength. Vigor and Nerve Force Judging from the countless prep arations and treatment* which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands o! men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. thinness and weakness nre often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is con tained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will sup ply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as hitro-phospliate. which Is inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of sat isfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos phate should produce a welcome transformation In the. uppeurance; the increase In weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with It a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly al ways accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

What their eyes . held was sheer love of loveliness. booking at these men, ragged, theoretically down and out. It seemed to me that there was some thing of imperishable good in their souls, and that life hadn't defeated .them yet. Perhaps only a dreamer icould feel so, but I think there is often a great practicality in dreams. And when two hungry, rugged men, bitter and sore because they can't afford a meal, stand rapt and spellbound before a beautiful being who doesn't know they are on earth and who hasn't any more personal relationship to them than a rose or a statue would have, I feel that they haven't forgot how to dream * • Some of the fineness of fibre that is part of our human heritage is still theirs. fee how the thing works out.
