PAGE EIGHT The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Thursday Morning, May 9, 1929 1 J CHAPTER XXV DAPHNE thought, "I won't run after any man not even Ralph! If he wants to go to art balls with other girls, and l-llo to me, let him! What do I care?" And with her door locked, and her head under the covers, she had a good cry, and felt bet ter. Her eyes were only a little red the next morning, and long before Hiss Yardley came to remind her It was lunch time she had thought of a thousand excuses for him, and stopped worrying. Miss Yardley was a much bet ter listener than Flora. Daphne told her the whole story over their strawberry Ice cream sodas and lettuce sandwiches, and when Miss Yardley sighed and said, "Aren't you the lucky thing having two wonderful friends like Mr. Mc Kevitt and Mr. Winters!" she felt popular and beloved, and, oh, so sorry for poor Miss Yardley. who hadn't any men friends at all. The more she thought' about it the more she wanted Allan Win ters and- nice Cora Yardley who had such pretty clothes and pretty manners, and wasn't so awfully homely once you got used to her stick-out teeth and near-sighted eyes behind the dark-rimmed glasses, to like each other. "Mr. Winters?" Daphne's voice was a little breathless when she finally summoned courage to call Allan. "This is Daphne." "Yes?" He seemed so cold and business-like over the telephone that she hardly knew how to go on. "I'm sorry that Ralph isn't In." he was saying, "I'll have him call you later." "But It was you I wanted to talk to! I thought ... we had such a wonderful day Sunday . perhaps we could . . perhaps you'd like to ... to come to a friend's apartment with me, and have dinner. It would be rather fan, cooking and everything. She's an awfully nice girl ... I but I thought that maybe you " "I'm afraid I'm too busy too, Daphne. We're doing some extra work here in the office. Thanks just the same. It was nice of you to think of me," He was cordial enough, and she knew there was extra work going on In Ralph's office, there was no real reason for being hurt at his refusal. But she was hurt. She had counted on him so much, had been so sure of his friendship. With Ralph it was different. Ralph was popular, and rushed Ralph was a man of affairs. You couldn't expect too much of Ralph. Even if he did love you, he had other friends, other inter ests. But Allan . . . "good old Al." as Ralph called him ... It did hurt hideously, when he failed . . . She tried once more, the follow ing Thursday, and once again when he came into Greely's office on business a few days later. But after seeing him, and talking with him there was no mistaking it He had changed, he didn't want her friendship. He was embar rassed and restless, anxious to get away. "Well It was nice to see you again, Miss Haines," (Miss Haines! . . . after he'd called her Daphne all day in Bolinas) . . . "Sorry Mr. Greely isn't In. I'll have to be getting back to the office . . . Goodbye!" She watched his slight, shock headed figure slip through the door, waited to hear the outer door close. Then she went an grily back to her work. After that her manner with Miss Yardley was more diffident. She told her Allan Winters had changed or something since CHOOSE UNPOLLUTED WA TER FOR BA THING Be Sure that Your Swimming Place is Safe, Urges Dr. Copeland, for Contaminated Water May Cause Skin Infection or Dread Typhoid By ROYAL S.

With the beginning of the bath ing season I hope everybody will give heed to the importance of se lecting safe places for swimming. It is a dangerous thing to jump Into an unknown and unexplored pool. There may be treacherous depths, snags of trees, or sub merged rocks. Unless counsel can be taken of somebody familiar with this proposed bathing pool. It should be carefully explored be fore any dives are taken Into the water. Bat far more dangerous thjn the things I have Just mentioned, are the possibilities of the pres ence of germs In the water. To get them Into your system may bring severe illness and even death. I air glad that many state and municipalities have passed Uwi prohibiting the reckless contam ination of the water supplies. The other day I saw a man almost frothing from anger because he was not permitted to establish a hazardous industry on the bank flC LIVINGSTON Sunday anyway, he wouldn't do at all. "Isn't that Just my luck?" Miss Yardley lamented good naturedly. "That's the way with the men. You can't count on them." she was five. It knocked her jr ith In everything . . . and everybody. September passed, the leaves fell. There was the feeling of Au tumn In the air, of sadness, and lonliness. Ralph came so seldom. "It Isn't that I don't want to see you often, honey girl . . . kiss me? You do love me a little don't you? You better! If I ever get out of this mess I'm in I'll make it up-to you honest I will!" he promised, holding her close, kiss ing her lowered eyelids. And Daphne thrilling to his words forgave him for the broken engagements, the empty evenings. Forgave him for everything, for everything he did, and everything he failed to do . . . she didn't care, she'd wait ... he wouldn't be rushed and worried forever. "I wish I knew more about business." she thought, helplessly. "It's all over my head all the stocks and things Ralph is fussing about, and Mr. Greeley complain ing ... he oughtn't to talk to Ralph the way he does Ralph knows what he's doing!" Her loyalty was torn two ways . . . why couldn't they get along? But apparently they couldn't any more. Each day brought bitterness and bickering. Ralph was in and out of the office, flushed and an gry, arguing with the old man And Mr. Greeley, grayer and gruf fer than ever, snarled and cursed. and pounded the desk "That damn fpol here again? My Lord, am I to wet nurse him forever? Well tell him to come in, damn it, come in!" If was a fight about money, of course. Men were always fighting about money in the world." she told Ralph after one of the stormy sessions. "It makes all the un happiness there Is. My father loved money bo much that he let Mother kill herself with overwork, to save it, and now my stepmother is spending it, and he's killing himself with worry . . . ah, Ralph, it Isn't worth it. If Mr. Greely won't let you have more capital Just do without It what does It matter? It can't be worth all the fights" "Pull some of that argument on Greely." he said moodily. "Make him see that he's going to drive me to drink or suicide or worse if he don't loosen up . . . it's so damned unfair to think my own father would put me in this position make me dependent up on Geeely for what's rightfully mine Mine! Well, I won't stand It much longer. I'll hire the best attorneys In this town I'll " "But John Greely is supposed to be the best there is " "Yeh and the rrookedest! . . . Another thing, he's getting child ish, Dahpne. I've got chances to make real money now I'd be a millionaire in four months If I didn't have him on my neck. He'd see it if he were clearer mentally he's getting senile " "Senile! Why Ralph he isn't he's the keenest, quickest person I ever knew! He has a memory like a card Index you're wrong if you think " She stopped suddenly, frozen with terror. Old Mr. Greeley had opened the door of his private of fice. He stood there, towering above them, looking at least tea feet high. "If you have business to discuss you will discuss it with me, not my secretary, McKevitt!" His voice was ominously quiet. He motioned Ralph to enter, with formal politeness. The door closed behind them. their swimming in waters filled to these observations by reason of an article I saw in the newspaper. It was an interview with the Director of Health Educa York City's Department of Health. He was bemoaning the fact that the harbor waters about New York are badly polluted. "Each year, with the advent of bathing," he said, "come new cases of eye and ear afflic troubles, and worst of all new ty- cases. Since 1922 and un to the almost 500 cases of typhoid in this city were traced to bathing beaches, beach es proscribed by the Department, in which bath ers ignored our warning." It is too bad that so little attention is given by many persons to the dangers of contaminated only are they willing to bathe in but travelers into the country freauentlv drink from springs and streams with- anything about the purity of the again from the newspaper article "And of the 3,448 other typhoid not traceable, there is little doubt of a noble stream, the waters of which were used for drinking pur poses by a nearby city. It was a wise law that prevented such an action. Bathing and swimming are de sirable from the standpoint of health. But I beg of you not to g- into the water unless yon know it is free from contamination. Answers to Health Queries O. N. Q. What can be done for varicose veins? A.

Don't come to me,' be said, 'I'm no pawnbroker. Go to the bank and do things right!' And I don't know whether I ought to tell you this or not Miss Yardley paused, and looked doubtfully at Daphne. "Well . . since you began, I think you ought to finish," Daph ne murmured, torn between con science and curiosity as to what went on behind that closed door, Miss Yardley took another look around the law library, to make sure no one was lurking behind a bookcase. "Maybe, I shouldn't have told you anything . . . but on account of you and. Mr. Mc Kevitt being such friends. . . It gave me such a shock. I nevgr saw Mr. ureeiy so mad . . . be lieve me I left without waiting to say excuse me " "But what did Mr. Greely say, Miss Yardley?" Miss Yardley fidgeted on her common-sense heels, looked down at her nicely polished finger nails. and then back at the flushed and trembling Daphne. "I couldn't re peat his exact words, but McKev itt's business must be in terrible shape. Evidently he has been buying on a margin you know taking a chance on stock going up, and counting on Greely to back him, and he's awfully mad, and he won't. . . . And he said, when Mr. McKevitt said he knew what he. was. doing, that San Quentin was full of others that thought the same way " "Oh that doesn't mean any thing!" Daphne almost laughed In her relief. "You know how Mr. Greely always talks he ex aggerates everything " "Just the same things must be pretty bad." "Because Mr. Greely blew up! Cora Yardley, you know what a POLLY AND HER PALS PUBLIC?

He only lets It fly when he has a reason for It, and he thinks It's going to get him something " "All right then, he's trying to bully Ralph Into doing things his way but that's no sign he's right and A Ralph's wrong!" Daphne re torted. "Hare It your own way. I'm sorry I said anything. I'm sure it's nothing to me!" Miss Yardley got the last word after alL After that there was a coolness between the two girls. Miss Yard ley went out to lunch with Mr. McMurtrle's secretary instead of Daphne, and Daphne was left alone. Not that she eared . . . much . . . she had lots else to do. There were two gorgeous, al ways to be remembered days. when Ralph met her at the Pal ace, and took her to lunch. Fun to wait for him in the Palm Court, with her little brown pumps toeing straight out before her, ("Never sit with your legs crossed, no lady does," her step mother had taught her), and her gloved hands folded politely in her lap. Fun to watch the deb utantes, and the luncheon groups, and the business men, well groomed, and prosperous looking Waiting for Ralph ... the best looking one of all! Gardenias for her at the flower stand. "Or would you rather have roses, or one of those or chids? Too bad they haven't any prune blossoms!" Ralph teasing her, buying everything for her, thinking of everything. Surely he wouldn't be in such good spir its, and spending so much money if Miss Yardley were right! The yellow car was often at the Hinckle door in the evening now, and Mrs. Spellman and Mrs. Hal- llday, the light-housekeeping la dies, from upstairs had something to talk about again. There were rides Into the country, and din ners down town, and two shows, and a swim In the big tank near (Continued no page ten) A45AIN - MACDOU6AUJ WILL BE IN 2SHORTUV TOOTS1.

You expect, no doubt, that something remarkable may happen. To tell you the truth, something may happen but pro bably at the expense of your sha dow, to be perfectly plain. It happened one day that Mij, Flor, Hanld, Yam and Knarf the fire little shadow-children with the turned-about names were watching the little real-children making a mixture of all the med icines in the medicine chest. "We'll give it to the cat," said Frank, who was Knarf's master. So they mixed together the cough medicine with a Spring tonic, a hair oil, a liniment for sprains, a nose spray and two sugar-coated pills. Now you would Imagine that this would be enough, for the mix ture looked thick and black. But no, It didn't quite fill the saucer. So May, Yam's mistress, took out a big bottle marked: FLEET FEET. "What does that do?" inquired the others. May read the direc tions on the label. "It makes slow feet move fast," she said. Just then Dinah fetched In the cat and set the aaucer before her. Mistress Pussy took one sniff of this mixture and fled. As this wasn't at all what was expected of her, the real-children set"" after her, at once. No sooner were they gone than the shadow-children ran over to the mixture. Being quite small, they had to climb upon the edge to see. As It chanced Yam slipped on a drop of the hairoil and with a splash landed right in the mid dle of the strange medicine. Just at this moment, the real children returned with their hats and coats on.

The more they pulled, the longer she stretched until she was as long as the steeple of a church. To make matters even worse, a cloud at that moment passed over the sun. As shadows do not have to stay with their masters and mis tresses when there is no sun, they all ran off Yam first and fastest of all. The others couldn't catch up with her no matter how hard they tried. She was swifter than the wind. In a few minutes she was miles away from them. Then she disappeared over the hori zon.

They are of the deadly nightshade species, and she per sistently regarded them as poison ous. It's curious that tomatoes like celery, stem from poisonous plants, but they happen to be among the most important vege tables in the diet. Indeed, toma toes today are fed to small chil dren because they are as indispen sable to their health and growth as orange juice. Tomatoes are particularly rich in Vitamin C and although there isn't very ex act knowledge available on this particular element, authorities are agreed that we can't get on with- ! out it. To get the perfect flavor of to- 1 matoes and their maximum food ! value, go out in the garden, pick j out a perfectly ripe one and eat I it on the spot, without adding salt I or pepper. Tomatoes, like corn," j begin to lose flavor after picking. ana so the sooner tney are con sumed the better. Unfortunately, most of us can't enjoy tomatoes in their more perfect state. But the next best thing is to eat them raw, as much as possible. Buy only the best ones with smooth, shiny, red skins, not so hard as to be immature, hut no so soft that they have begun to de cay. Firm ones are right, and easy enough to obtain in season. Always remove skins of tomatoes whether they are to be served raw or cooked. They are pleas anter to eat that way, and more digestable. Gently drop the to mato Tn a pan of boiling water for one minute. Lift out and the skin can be pulled off easily.
