By ROSE KAWSON
i.,1, a.f. .by Honu> Spragtu | j
The ice was in splendid condition,
and carefully avoiding the p»»opIe she
knew in the crowd about the boat land
ing Myra struck out with long, power
ful strokes for tip the river.
She was In no mood for company.
She wanted to be alone and think
things over. It is a serious thing when
ii girl gives I tack her first engagement
ring and informs the donor that she
never wants to see him again. That
experience had come to Myra that aft-,
ernoon. •
It had all been ridiculously foolish.
Tom had scoffed at her for having
joined the Browning club, declaring
Browning to be a prize puzzler and not
a poet. She had taken offense, and
they had had their first quarrel. Sh?
nF, WAS IiOOKINO RTUAIOnr AIIF.AD, AND
IN THE I>UKK HF. I'ASSED liEK.
had given back his ring and he had
gone off in dudgeon, leaving her with"
the afternoon oil her hands. They had
planned to skate to Riverdale, five
miles up the river; have supper there
and skate back by moonlight. Now it
was all spoiled and she must skate
i alone.
She was fond of the Ice, and the
swift motion and the bracing air soon
put her In i more pleasant frame of
mind. P •:ps she had been hasty In
giving hack the ring, but then It is not
every day tiiat one is elected the presi
dent of tin* literary club, and he might
at least liavc congratulated her upon
her victory over Nettie Doran.
She had i e-n *o engrossed with her
thou it that it was with surprise that
she found ■ he had entered the "cut,"
more than two miles from the landing.
Here the river ran between steep bluffs
for three-quarters of a mile, and she
1 shuddered a little as she glanced at the
cliffs on either side. She never hail
noticed it before, but now they seemed
so black and forbidding,
i She was still glancing tip as her skate
struck a bit of wood frozen Into the
ice, and with a cry she sank to the
' glassy surface. She struggled to her j
feet, but with another little moan she j
sank t i one knee; she had sprained her ,
left ankle.
Several times she essajVd to rise, but
each time her ankle hurt her more, and
finally she <!• • isted and crept on hands
and knees t > the bank. Perhaps some
of the other- w<>uH take it into their
heads !<• • ' ■up and they would give
her help, li' no one came she would
try li> creep hack after she had rested.
But after an hour she gave tip hope
of help coming. She was so numb she
could scarcely move. She began to cry
s.ftly. If lie could not get to the
j lower end of the cut, where she might
' attract atte dion of - >me one on shore,
; she might freeze to death.
With Infinite labor he crawled a few
f«"ef. but she had t > give up anil sit
j down auain. I'erhap; they might miss
her fit the landing and remember that
she had rone up the river. They would
Aend out a curdling party for her. It
I might be an hour <>r more before she
j could hope for help, but the idea
: brought In r some comfort, though it
, did ii'it check the flow of tears.
Then her quick ear caught the wel
come sound .if the ring of steel on the
hard ice and she tried to struggle to
i her feet.
Around the bend above Tom Hunyou
I came with powerful strokes. lie was
| looklnir straight ahead, and In the dusk
i he passed 1. r. Before she could gain
j the courage to call to him he stopped
| suddenly and turned. In a Hash he
was at her side, kneeling before her.
"What's the matter, dear?" he asked,
i "Are you hurt?"
"I've sprain. I 11 y . ikle," she sobbed,
"and I'm tir- I : - T cold and hungry,
and it hurts an awful lot. I'm so mis
erable"
"How !•• i.g have yon beea here?" lie
asked.
"II.iU! -." Ise |. tned. "It seems like
ilays, ;ind it' > '•! n-k an 1 lonesome."
**l*Oor little 'l'" ho - aid tenderly.
"I'll i>n 1: \. y u out nf it. I'll skate
down t > the finding and borrow a
sled."
S ■ gra 'ied : • >at In t MTor. "I»on't
leave mef e pleaded. "I think I
would go en. .•;•!**
It v 1 • e • ten minutes or
s"."' he nr ! ' • ' she kept a convul
t- ■ hod tij on h: - « oat. Presently an
Idea struck him.
"Can you s'and on your other foot?"
lie asked. "Will it bear your weight?"
For answer she put out her hands,
and he helped her to rise. She winced
as the lame fool struck the ice, but she
smiled bravely.
"I think I can," she said.
Tom dropped on one knee and start
ed to unfasten the skate on the injured
toot. The anl !<• was s.» swollen that
he h id to cut the strap through, but
present I - , hero >• and grasped her
hands.
"Now keep the fo >t up," he com
manded, "and let Die tow you."
It was a little awkward at first. They
skat* I together nicely, but now she
could not take a stroke, merely sliding
along up ui the single runner and lean
ing heavily against him for support.
I'nder his coaching she soon caught
the idea, and presently they were
swinging along i t a good pact*.
The injured foot ached with the mo
tion and weight of the hoi »t, but it was
comforting to feel Tom's strong hand
clasp and to lean against his shoulder
as they Sped along.
Somehow die had never realized
what .a strong man he was until she
felt herself being carried .along almost
wiuiont an e'l'orl. It was less than ten
minutes bel'i !e tla-\ came in sight of !
the town as tu -d the hist curve, j
"Looks kind of ;; 1, doesn't It?" he !
laughed as she t :ve a cry of delight.
"I thought 1 never should see it
again." she r• mfc -ed, "1 had almost
given up hope."
"I.ncky tiling I had togo to River
dale." he commented "I had given up
the idea, but Johns >n took me up in
his rig to look at a horse he wants to
sell me, find I too! my skates along."
"I'm glad i! v. is yon." she murmured.
"Are youv" he asked in surprise. 1
thought yoM would have had almost
any one else rescue you."
"I did feel that way for a moment,"
she confessed, "when 1 first saw it
was you. I wonder why yon turned
around."
"Somulhing seenn d to stop me," l.e
explained. "It was a funny sort of
feeling. 1 .just seined to see you be
hind me, and 1 had to turn around to
make certain. It seemed almost .as if
a great hand made me stop."
"I think it was fate," she said softly.
"Maybe I sorl of half saw you find
was not conscious of it until I had
passed yoti." he sii nested.
"I would rather believe it was fate,"
she persisted.
"So would 1." he said soberly. "Here's
the lauding."
The crowd had left th:* ice and had
gone home to supper. There were no
I shils around, so lie slipped off his
! skates and caught her up in his arms.
"It's only a couple of blocks," he
j said. "We'll get home more quickly
I this way."
i She did not make any comment until
he had crried her into the house and
' had bestowed her comfortably upon
1 the sofa. As ii • turned togo she spoke '
Ills mime softly, lie turned back.
"Will you be over after tea?" she
asked.
"Surely," he answered. "I shall want j
I to know how you are getting along."
"Will von brim; ihe ring," she wlm
1 pcred.
"I have it right here!" he cried out
eagerly.
for answer she stretched out her
hand, ami h ■ slipped i! on.
"This makes me think of the only
Browiiiug I know." lie laughed. 'Re

in our bank, and the fourth was a man
who has since become one of Chicago's
greatest capital! -and who had always
professed his sincere friendship for me.
It was a trying ordeal and one calculat
ed to make each of my visitors show
the real i-tuff that was in him. As
events prov ed, this did not take long.
"The little money lender grabbed me
first. With a strange little wink he
forced me one side and said ill a half
whisper, 'Do you know how much I
have in your bank':'
"I said, 'Yes, about $150,000.*
" 'Well, I will give you SO,OOO if you
i will give me the cash right away.*
"•I won't <1 ■ that,' said I. 'Your
money is all right, hut you will have to
wait a week for it until we get In
■ hap" again.'
" •What,' he fairly gasped, 'do you de
cline SI;.IHH)V i hat is a good deal of
money in a city that has gone to de
struction.'
"I answered no, that I would not,
and told him in plain English what I
thought of Irm. I said: 'I am not knave
enough to take your bribe and give you
an unfair advantage over the other de
: positors, and lam not fool enough to
do it, because I know as soon as you
discover the bank paid its claims with
in a week you would sue me for tho
j s('i,(j!Hi. <;< t out of here right away.' "
"That was the last of him. lie took
his inotiej when the week was out and
kept clear of the bank after that. Then
the school treasurer came to me with a
i straightforward -lory of how his bonds-
I men were anxious to know how he
! stood. When I told him that his money
was safe and that lie would not lose a
j cent he bur t into tears, saying the
I new s was too good to be true. Hie out

hastily. "1 don't care about the lire. We
are all in the same fix. liut 1 want to
know how you stand personally. Have
you plenty of ready cash? You cannot

"With that the man threw open his
coat, ill veil down into his pocket and
dragged out a roil of bills as big as his
hands colli ' grasp. Then he straight
ened them out and divided them Into
equal piles, retaining one himself and
handing nie the oilier. lie was dread

not accept the money and that I
thought I could manage without It.

Professor Alexander llai£, an Kng
lish dietary expert, lias written from
(iOiidon to the nanlical fraternity of
New York warning Americans against
(he popular belief that the average
man eats too much. lie says that the
Increasing number of deaths from heart
failure is largely due to underfeeding.
The notion that science is a more
unerring guide than is nature is con
stantly gaining ground. In the good
old days men drank when they were
thirsty arid ate of whatever they wished
until their hunger was satisfied. Now
science condemns such foolishness as
primitive. It prescribes one glass of
water one hour before meals anil one
glass one hour after meals no more,
no less. If you happen not to be thirsty
at those times, no matter, drink that
amount anyway. If perchance you are
thirsty and would like two glasses you
must not yield; it is only nature that
prompts you, and nature is an unsafe
guide. Or, you may be "abnormally"
thirsty at meals; nevertheless do not
drink then.
As to our amount of food, we are
directed to consume so many grains
of the proteids, so many grams of the
carbohydrates and so many grams of
fat, while we hear learned discourses
upon large calories and the supreme
importance of exactly maintaining our
nitrogen balance—whatever that may
mean.
I have purposely not mentioned the
precise numbers of grams of the differ
ent food elements, for the simple rea
son that our eminent authorities havo
j not yet agreed upon this Important
| point. All give different figures.
Scientists, however, following the
I lead of Iltissell 11. Chittenden, Ph. I>.,
LL.Sc. I)., have pretty well agreed
that the average man eats twice more
than lie needs. If half his customary
amount of food does not satisfy him
It ought to, they say, and it will even
tually, provided he keeps on suppress
ing his natural and therefore unsclen
i title Instincts.
i But just; here lies a danger. It Is
' true that one can accustom himself to
! a much smaller quantity of food than
| that to which he has been habituated
, and that eventually he will desire that
' smaller quantity and no more, but
I when he attains to this condition his
j digestive power will have been re
duced bv one-half. As a result ho will
lose from ten to thirty pounds in
I weight; that Is to say, his muscles and
! organs will decrease by so much in
bulk and strength. Now, if the heart
1 decreases can •! Icrably in strength
j there w ill always be danger of its col
. lapse, particularly if it be subjected to
i any extra strain, as when oue runs for
i a car or rapidly up a flight of steps,
j Excitement alone may be fatal to a
! weak heart.
Rigorous dieting to reduce weight is
always dangerous; A better plan is to
work oft' the superfluous flesh by ex
ercise.
Lack of sleep has a depressing effect
on the heart, for during sleep cerebral
circulation diminishes, when the blood
i can devote itself to the rest of the
I body.
i Mating before going to bed, particu
larly if one is up late, i» a good prac
: tlee, it being most favorable to thor
ough body repair that the blood at
night be rich in nourishment.
Accustoming the digestive organs to
a small amount of food results in a de
, cline of appetite, whereas our object
should be to increase appetite and
thereby str.-n; then our digestive pow
, ers by Judicious exercise In the open
! j air or in a well ventilated room.
I If the doctrine that a small appetite
, Is preferaM" to a large appetite bo
true and this is what "economy in
nutrition" tea -lies then open air ex
ereive. ' i manifestly increases ap
petite, niiisi lie injurious to health. Or
why should we exercise to increase ap
petite if we may eat only so much?
The notion is -wholly absurd. The
first sign of illness in a man or an ani
mal is loss of appetite. And usually
! appetite is a measure of health.
To build up the heart and muscular
system generally we must vigorously
exercise the muscles,
j It Is not enough that one should stuff
I himself; It is all important that he
j should desire every morsel he eats,
1 and this he will do only If he under
| goes general physical and mental ex
j orclse. Food that Is ingested, and even
| digested, will be absorbed only by
those organs that need it—that have
been exercised This fact explains
why many persons that are good "feed
ers" are yet Inadequately nourished.
If they are brain workers and take no
physical exercise their brains absorb
what nourishment they need; the rest
is excreted.
Magnificent as are the results of
brain work we must bear In mind that
there could l>e no result without the
co-operation of the body, and that tho
body in Its turn depends primarily on
the integrity of its heart, lungs and
stomach. O. Elliot Flint In New York

tJilder glanced anxiously at his
j watch, lie had only seven minutes In
which to catch Ills train. The night
was dark, and he could scarcely walk
live blocks In a driving rain, wait for a
car and make connections.
.Inst then a carriage drove up to the
curb and an elderly man of about his
build alighted. Tho chairs were all oc
cupied; it would be fully fifteen min
ute-- before the newcomer could get
a shave. In that time he could get to
the station and the carriage would
j have time to return.
it was worth the chance. lie flashed
across the sidewalk, called an order
to the driver and Jumped in. As the
door slammed the horses started up and
they were off at a brisk pace before
(ailder realized that there was a second
occupant in the carriage.
"It did not take you very long,"
laughed a musical voice.
<Mlder sank into tire seat with a
groan. "1 don't know who you think
I am," he said apologetically, "but I'm
a robber. Don't be afraid. I'm not a
regular robber, but one through force
of circumstances. I have to catch the
("cIS train, and the only way I could
do It was to borrow a carriage without
permission."
"My uncle did not give you permis
sion to use tin? carriage?" demanded
the voice. Gilder knew that a girl with
a voice like that must necessarily be
pret t j\
"I didn't ask him," he calmly.
"You see, it would have wasted pre
cious time. I figured that I could get
to the station and the carriage could
get back before lie was shaved. A
dollar would have fixed the driver. I
suppose now you will have me ar
rested."
"For trespass, perhaps," she laughed.
"On your own confession you did not
mean to steal the brougham."

"When one gets as old as uncle one

laughed.
"He doesn't appreciate his privileges,"

know what 1 look like?"

a sort of Intuition."
"I thought that was a feminine gift,"
she laughed.
"Not entirely," he Insisted. The car
riage rattled past an electric light, and
lie peered into her corner. "You know
I am right," lie added triumphantly.
"What can I say?" she laughed help
lessly. ••You are a most embarrassing
nerson."
•• I >o«i*t say anything," he pleaded.
"If you did you would probably tell
me to get out."
"In all this rain?" she questioned,
with a little shudder. "I shall let you
goon to the station in common char
ity."
"The gods are good," he murmured,
j "1 am only sorry it Is such a short ride
to the station. I'll be there in a min

I and gave a cry.
"Wlfht Is the matter?" she asked.
"The man's driving downtown," he

"IMd you Just tell him to drive to the

"< if course,"' he said. "There Is *mly
one station."
"You forget the Northern," she re
mind si. "Pncle was taking me theno.
I live in Union terrace. John supposed
th-t vou meant the Northern."
"It served me right," he admitted,
glancing at his watch. "I suppose the
only thing to do Is to drive back to the
barber shop and ask his forgiveness.'
"He might be getting worried," she
suggested.
He lifted the speaking tube and blew
through When he had given the
order foe the change of direction he
turned to the girl again.
"It's going to be mighty awkward
explaining." he said. "Is your uncle in

"Very," she said impressively. "I
don't know whether he will cane you

across the sidewalk. The men in the
shop crowded curiously to the door.

thought it was an elopement." Gilder
went back to the carriage.
"Your uncle thinks we have eloped,"
he Raid. "Shall we follow him to the

"I think you had better take me to

lie it silent as they sped along to
the little suburban station, his forget

the situation. The Northern was only
a lifty mile line, cutting some of the

CUTTING DOWN
DEATH RATE
State Health Commissioner Samuel
<r. Dixon continues to cut down the
death rate lroin diphtheria through
the agency of anti-toxin which the
State department of health is distri
buting free of charge throughout Penn
sylvania in all cases where the pati
ents are too poor to pay for the serum.
.For instance the report of the anti
toxin division for the week ending
July 1(1 gives the remarkably low death
rate of three per cent, for all cases
treated with State anti-toxin. There
were no deal lis at all where instruc
tions of the commissioner as to the
liberal use of anti-toxin within twen
ty-four hours after onset were follow
ed out.
Statistics show that the death rate
in diphtheria is forty-two per cent,
where anti-toxin is not used; hence
the splendid achievement of the new
department of health in saving prec
ious lives by its free distribution of
anti -toxin.
Protecting Animals.
A number of Lock Haven dealers in
horse and cattle feed have been arrest
ed for the alleged violation of the law
governing the sale of feed stuffs in not
having labels showing their ingredi
ents. It would appear that the new
ood law requires not only that hu
man stomach but the stomachs of an
imals shall be protected against in
jurious foods.
