Pat and Chet. an other friend of Larry's eloped. Jack Duncan a affairs had become so In volved that there were rumors of In vestigations on the charm of mis appropriation of funds. Byrd purchased back not only Larry's Intereat In the unsound real estate companies, but also Jack'a half Interest in the Build ers Supply company, making Larry entirely independent of him. Having placed her mother on the train lor Jacksonville. Byrd discovered India oi Larry, who waa supposed to be out of town, getting into a taxi together. Completely crashed. Byrd re turned home, gathered Larry's be lo rut ins together, and placed them In the vestibule. Beside them aha sat and waited. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) m m m CHAPTER XLVIII TT-YRD never knew Just how she F got through that night. For hours afterward, the break in Larry's rolce. the wound ed look in his eyes, the chug-chug of the taxi as It died away in the stillness. 8 till echoed and re-ech oed through her brain. Toward morning she get up from her own bed. where she had thrown herself In a conrnlsion of tears, and slowly undressed. She hardly recognised the red eyes and puffy face that looked back at her from the mirror. She bathed her eyes In cold wat er only to find them streaming again a second later and baring to hatha them all over again. She slipped into her pink crepe pajam as and sat on the edge of the bed. looking Hke a crumpled and very respondent little flower. Finally she grew callly and crawled into bed. She woke much later with the surprised feeling- that she must have slept. She seemed weighted down with a conviction that some thing terrible was going to hap pen. Then she remembered. It had happened. Her little world had smashed to smithereens! Well, she wouldn't think about it, now, or she would dissolve into tears again. But as she lay there, staring at the ceiling, her mind began to nibble first at one and then at another of the things that had happened last night. She just wouldn't permit her self to think about them now! But her thoughts darted away like naughty children that hare been warned not to look into a certain closet. Foolish! she said, shaking her self. There was the sound of a wind stirring in the boughs of the elm and the sudden darkening of the skies that often occurs with a roll of thunder. Then she heard the voices of the three little Blogg girls depart ing for school and the drag of a stick on the wooden pickets as they passed the fence that closed In the small New England cottage across the street. The smell of toast floated up to her. She surely couldn't be hungry, she thought In consternation. On top of a broken heart! She remembered that this was Friday, and she had accepted an Invitation to a luncheon bridge at a neighbor's house across the street. Byrd was glad to have an excuse not to go. for she disliked these big, formal partlee. "Well. I find that it's Just as easy to have a big aprty and have It over with," Mrs. Smith had told her. "It's just as much work to just have a few, and this way you get all your debts paid and don't hurt anybody's feelings." And some time she would have to show her house. Just as the oth ers did, but now she was relieved of that, at any rate. The little white house would no doubt be back on the market be fore the end of the month! Byrd shuddered. There was no reason to cry about that, she scolded herself. Larry would nev er have been able to keep up the payments on It anyway. Just then Mandy came bustling in with a breakfast tray. "Yo' Jes' stay in bed this morn ln and rest." she said, "now yo' mammy's gone, there ain't no rea son fo' yo' gettln' up." Byrd ate her breakfast. She dis covered she was very hungry. Her 'first impulse was to take the night train to Jacksonville and talk with her fatt- rk " thought of Henrietta stopped her, But she did go down ij -Polk. Her eyes bore erldence of sleep lessness and worry, and Mr. Polk eyed her anxiously as she came in to his office. "Worrying again!" he scolded. "By your face I d say you had more cares than the president of the United States. Then, without any preliminar ies. Byrd blurted out the awful truth. "Mr. Polk. Larry and I are not lir we're separated," she gulped. Tear gathered In her throat In a heary lumpj. She could get no fur ther. Tears slipped brer the edges of the deep, blue wells and trembl ed like transparent Jewels on her eyelashes. "I think perhaps you suspected things weren't going as smoothly as "she halted again. Mr. Polk nodded. "It's a darn shame, and I'm sor ry aa the dickens." he shook his head deplorlngly. "Tour father and mother will be completely broken up orer It." "I don't want them to know about It Just yet." said Byrd. "Perhaps later I'll run down and tell them." "What can I do to be of some help." he asked solicitously. Then a though came to him. "Why don't you take a position in the Dana just to keep your mind occupied until you know definitely what you want to do?" "That's Just what I was think ing." said Byrd, grarely, "but first I want to decide about the house. Could you sell It again without any trouble?" "Easy!" said Mr. Polk. "And you'll perhaps make a thousand or two on It. How about the fur nishings?" "I're decided to put the wed ding presents and my personal things Into storage and sell the other things with the house." "They're Just right for it, and I really think they'll help sell the house," said Mr. Polk, encourag ingly. "If not. since you're used then such a short time, you may be able to get the stores to take them back." Byrd was to racate the house in a week. "It'll almost break Mandy's heart to go," said Byrd. "I feel as If she'd been with us all her life. She's simply wonderful!" "Perhaps we can find a place for her," suggested Mr. Polk. "But anyway, let her stay on until the house is disposed of. Some body ought to be there to look af ter it. Now about this position " "My prirate secretary's learing a week from next Monday for a month's racation, and suppose you substitute for her." Byrd was pleased with the sug gestion and accepted on the spot. "Will you arrange to hare a talk wnn Larry! - asaea uyra. m a voice that couldn't help trembling whenever Larry's name was men tioned. "I'd rather you tell him about selling back the realty stocks and buying Jack's share or the Builders' Supply and the house." So that was agreed on. too. "Hare you heard from the new lyweds?" asked Mr. Polk, as Byrd was tearing. Byrd shook her head. "Don't worry about them," he laughed. "I was sworn to secrecy, but I think I can tell you now. They came to me for my blessings! I wired your father for his con sent, saying that I approred. That's how they were able to get a license." Three days later around noon. Maady came running upstairs in great excitement. "Shut yo' face. Mis' Browning," she exclaimed, breathlessly and completely at a loss for words. "For Pete's saks, what's hap pened. Mandy?" asked Byrd. But Byrd had to wait until Man dy got her second wind. "Miss Pat and Mr. Everson done come back," she finally blurted out. Now Byrd heard them in the hall4 downstairs, halooing like a pair o( wild Indians.- Byrd hurried down and fell Into their anna. "We're back, darlin.' " eried Pat. in high excitement. "Glad to see us? How did moms take the fatality? Heard from dad yet? When's Larry coming back?" "Sounds like a machine gun. grinned Chet. "How do I look after four days of married life." continued Pat, without taking- a breath. "Befort marriage" here she looked sweetly innocent, "after marriaga " she looked haggard and worn "Moms couldn't get over the Idea that you must have lied about your age," said Byrd. "Where there's a will, there's a loophole." said Chet, smartly. "Ain't he bright?" smiled Pat fondly. Pat grabbed Chefs arm. cling ing with a cloyingly sweet, kitten ish expression. "This is the way we looked when we had our pictures taken at Niagra Falls." she giggled. Eye ing Byrd's incredulous look. "Honest, on your tintype! I mean on ours!" "Now listen." said Chet. "let's talk orer our plans with Byrd." "Let's hare lunch first," said Byrd. "you both sound light headed from lack of food. Put your kiddie kar Into the garage and lunch'Il be ready." Chet went out through the kit chen door. "Pat, I'm so glad you choa-i Chet for your first husband." said Byrd smiling at them across the table. "I think you're both craty as bats, but I think you're both going to be happy." " 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous! You should care for me!" Pat sang in her high, squeaky. soprano and ran around the table to kiss Chefs ear. "What a pair you are!" said Byrd. her eyes suddenly filling with tears. "Now what's the matter, 'what lit'?" asked Pat, struck by Byrd's sudden change of expression. Berfore Byrd could control her self she had laid her head right down in the dessert plate and cried. Then piecemeal, they got the whole story of that awful night of Larry's departure. During the telling. Pat had got ten out of her chair and stood leaning orer the table In wide eyed astonishment. Now suddenly she sat down with a thump, as If there were no chair under her. After the shock of the news. they talked and talked. Pat suggested a hundred plans, all of which either Byrd or Che; repudiated. Pat repeated her 'original sug gestion that she and Chet buy the house in order to make a home for Byrd. "That's what she did for me." she repeated, stubbornly. "You're not going to worry about a home. Our kitchen sink is going to be your kitchen sink and our broom closet is going to be your broom closet." Byrd had to laugh at this com ical young bride. "When I peel potatoes. Ruth, or Naomi. I forget who said it. there shall you be also peellag potatoes" continued Pat. grandiloquently. "No." said Byrd. practically. 'you're going to hare to do your own housework. Snooks." Chefs mother expected Pat and Chet for dinner, and they insisted that Byrd go with them. But Byrd declined. "I're got to get used to being alone." she said ruefully. Before his marriage. Chet had lired with his parents on old Prospect street, in an old brick house that they bad occupied erer since their marriage, and Chet and Pat were going to stay there uattl they found an apartment. Byrd scoffed at the Idea that they come orer and stay with her nights. She had dinner alone. After dinner she went around the house making out lists of art icles she intended to send to the storage company. She slipped into her pajamas early and sat looking out into the diamond-pointed hearens. Then she got up and turned down the corers of her bed. She tried not to look at the empty bed across the room. With tight lips that kept moring under her little white teeth, she tried to keep dry-eyed. Everything about the room seemed to reproach her. That oth er debt, with Its smooth pongee cover, stretched straight and un wrinkled. No, she decided, she couldn't sleep in that room again. She stepped into her bedroom slippers and went across the hall ito the guest room.

This has gone too far, they say, and in many cases is resulting in permanent injury. One famous doctor says: "Starring leads to anemia, which may become so persistent that the tissues are no longer able to form blood in the proper way, even when sufficient food is subsequently supplied to them, and a state of actual starva tion throughout life may result."

This is not true. Any food that is nourishing , is fattening and nature should be allowed to store a, certain amount. of fat in the tissues as a reserve supply of energy when it Is needed. Don't undereat; it is dangerous. Eat enough of a great variety of foods and enjoy them. Remember that noth ing adds so much enjoyment to other foods as sugar.
