The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Satnrday Morning, Jtfay 18, 1929
CHAPTER XXXIX i
f T was a hard day, the hardest
Daphne had erer experienced.
She took shorthand at speed
that almost paralyzed her fin
gers. Typed telegrams with little
beads of sweat on her upper lip,
and Mr. Greely bawling from his
office door, "Isn't that wire ready
yet? Send it in when it's ready!'
In the midst of it. Miss Yardley
whose desk was in the outer of
fice came in to announce a lady
to sea Daphne.
. MA lady?" Daphne hesitated.
"Why I don't know who it could
be, and I can't come now. If I
leare this Mr. Greely will be fur
ious. Will you tell her to leare the
message?"
"All right," Miss Yardly
agreed. "She wouldn't give her
name though. She's middle-aged
and blowsy looking."
Miss Viola. Daphne decided
though why Viola fhould call on
her in the office . . .
"Those letters reatiy yet?" Mr.
Greely bellowed, and Miss Yard
ley fled.
Before the day was over,
Daphne had completely fty-gotten
the visitor. The woman canVfc once
again in the afternoon, butBar
ney the office boy told her severe
ly, that Mr. Greely's secretary
could not be disturbed. She left a
note with him, but in ihe excite
ment no one remembered it until
the next day.
"He's worse than I've ever seen
him," Miss Yardley told Daphne.
It's probably Just one of his
tantrums. This trouble with Mc-
see him when he gets rheumatic.
Kevitt maybe. But you ought to
lie's awfully funny. He thinks he
is going to die you know, and he
works hard enough to kill any
other man, getting his affairs in
order and he goes to church the
Greelys are awfully high church
you know of course Greeley isn't
except when he's sick but his sis
ter Is. A girl I know goes to St.
John's where his sister goes, and
she says it's a scream to see him
come clumping up the aisle when
he has one of these fits on, right
up to a front pew, and he does it
for about three Sundays running,
and then when he's well' again, he
, never goes back until the next at
tack. He always tears up his will,
too, and makes a new one. I'll
bet McKevitt is left out of this
one."
Daphne was glad when she
could get away from the talka
tive Miss Yardly. All these illu
sions to McKevitt and trouble
frightened her. She had come to
love the old man, too, and it hurt
that he should be laughed at, even
in so friendly a way.
Five o'clock came, and six, and
she was still- at her desk, though
everyone had gone but Greeley.
Just as she was covering her
typewriter Allan Winters came in,
unannounced. Daphne mumbled
some sort of greeting and he re
turned it as unintelligibly. They
had been shy with each other, al
most hostile, since the day at the
old man's cottage. She hardly
glanced at him as he slouched
through the room, hands in his
pockets, and disappeared in Gree
ley's private office, "For such a
shy looking young man he .has
his nerve," she thought, a little
resentfully. "Nobody else would
hurst in on Mr. Greeley like that.
I hope he throws him out, that's
what I hope!"
He came dashing back a mo
ment later, "Miss Haines, will you
come? I think he's had a stroke
he's all slumped down in his
chair"
"Oh!" Daphne Tried, and with
one leap She war; nrido the office.
SIMPLE PRIMARY ILLS
OFTEN LEAD TO GRIEF
t Right's Disease One of the Ailments, Says Dr.
Dr. Copeland, Which Are Usually Secondary to
a Disturbance Elsewhere in the Body.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
Former Commissioner of Health, Jfew York City.
United States Senator from New York.
0 the layman there is no more disturbing experience than to fear
the presence ef Bright' disease. This ailment used to be so
fatal that everybody came to dread it.
The fact is that this disease is less serious than the things that
T
m-amiw. disease is the result of excessive meat eating.
DR COPELAND. n0 informed person believes that today. At
least nine times out of ten it comes from an infection or poison.
You may recall that many times children who have had scarlet
fever may have kidnsy trouble following it. Indeed, any one of the
infectious or contagious diseases may generate body poisons which
will cause an inflammation or ue'
ki-Jney.
Most of us tail to have Just the
respect we should have for acute
tonsilitis. I regard it as a disease
which should be included among the
Inf otlons. It is likely to run almost
e3 definite a coure as scarlet fever
or ivphoid fever.
Of course. I do not mean it has
tfc symptoms of these diseases, but
whit 5 have in mind is the fact that
It runs a very definite course. What

shouting, swearing and banging
on the table, and now he was so
pitifully old and helpless. Daphne
held his listless head against her
shoulder, stroking his thick gray
hair, staring into his face, stern
and hawk-like still, for some sign
of consciousness.
"Oh, why doesn't the doctor
come? Isn't there something that
we conld be doing, Allan? Allan
ring him again. Call another
doctor "
The doctor came at last, a pom
pous, slow moving little man who
refused to be hurried.
"A heart attack," he said com
fortably, as if heart attacks and
old Mr. Greeley collapsed in his
chair were nothing in the least to
worry about.
When they were ready to take
the old man home they told Daph
ne she need not wait, but some
how or other she was in the taxi
helping to support him when they
started. He was conscious, now
and gave her a prodigious wink
when the cab stopped in front of
the big, old-fashioned house. "Ter
rible inconvenience . . .Sister
Anne!" he mumbled twinkling un
der the bushy brows. And with
another parting grin for Allan he
let them lead him upstairs.
"A heart attack, doctor?" asked
Sister Anne. "Dear, dear, now he
will be laid up again, and such a
patient, and the Diocesan conven

it's a shame!"
"Thai's life,' he answered cold
ly, and the glimpse that she had
of his face, hard and aynical in
the failing light, chilled her.

"Oh, no I'll call a taxi. Wait

She wanted to insist on the
street car, but she was too tired.
She didn't have he energy to ar
gue. She let him put her into
the cab, and leaned back in her
corner, her eyes closed, the long
black lashes shadowing her pale
cheeks. A teaf rolled down her
face, and another and another.
The physical comfort of the cush
ioned cab after the long, hard
day was suddenly too much for
her. t
She broke down and cried.

cause it. By this I mean that it just happens to
be the kidneys that are made to bear the brunt
of an attack that might as well have been
directed against some other part of the body.
You see, Bright'! disease is not what the
doctors call a "primary disease. It is always
secondary to a disturbance somewhere else in
the body.
There are two types of B right's disease, the
acute and the chronic The chronic form may
exist a long time before it is suspected.
This ailment is named after Dr. Bright, who
first described it It is really an inflammation
of the kidney or of the important parts of the
kidney.
There is an old-fashioned idea that Bright's

Sickness at the stomach and rom

be followed by uremia.
This is the word used to describe
the severe headaches, great restless

accompany the uremic attack. There
may be ' temporary blindness, dizzi
ness and even loss of consciousness.
I have not told you about this
disease to frighten you. I have done
it with a view to making you realize
how important it is not to neglect
influenza, the infectious diseases,
tonsilitis and any other acute ail

be of little consequence, but if it is
neglected there may be serious kid

led them down what appeared to
be another stairway. This turned
out to be a dark chute and to
their consternation they all land
ed in the middle of a large room,
right under a sign marked "Next
Week." That's how they knew
they were in the middle of next
week..
It was an oddly shaped room. It
was divided into seven little al
coves, or squares, on the floor of
each of which was printed in large
letters the days of the week.
-It's just like a calendar," re
marked Flor.
At the back of each alcove hung
a long dark curtain, on which was
a sign which read: "DO NOT DIS
TURB.
"Let's see what's behind the
curtain," urged Knarf.
The others gazed at him In dis
may. "Oh no!" they cried. "We
can't do that! Something is sure
to happen."
Just "then they beard Cuckoo
calling them from above. "Child
ren, children, she exclaimed,
"come up here at once. There's
nothing to see down there, noth

"We'll have to go at once," they
said. Imagine their alarm to see
Master Knarf deliberately draw
ing the curtain aside in the alcove
marked MONDAY.
"Don't, don't!" they shouted.
But it was too late. There was a
crisp rustle behind tne curtain
and out sprang a queer creature.
It was shaped exactly like a figure
nine except ,that it had wings.
"What do you want?" it de
manded. Now Knarf didn't know what
he wanted. He was quite bewild
ered. "I want I want to know
what time you have." he murmur-,
ed at length. At this moment the
other shadow-children came run
ning over.
"Can't you see?" cried Hanid,
"that it's nine o'clock?"
"Xine o'clock sharp," it cor
rected sharply.
Hardly had it said this when
from behind the curtain sprang
another creature, much .smaller
than fhe first. No sooner did it
see It, "however, than it started
running after the first.

"Just a second, just second,"

weren't sure whether it was ad

it appeared to be exactly what it
said: that is, a Second.

growing boys with incred
ible appetites, "and I try to have
some on Sunday nights. Cold
lamb makes such good chicken
salad!"
Of -course its flavor is not the
same, yet lamb, like chicken, real
ly has more flavor cold than when
hot. Sliced cold, it makes delic

diced" and mixed with celery,
olives, or what have you in the
way of vegetables, it is a fine
salad for a warm day. For which
reason lamb isn't he most ex
pensive meat by any means, even
when its price is high, and bearing
in mind the considerable waste
there is in bone and fat.
A good leg of lamb to select is
one weighing about 5 pounds. The
fat should be a fine, clear white,
and the lean red, hut not so red
as beef. The meat should be firm,
not flabby in appearance.
To roast a leg of lamb, ipe it
first with a damp cloth, then rub
thickly with flour. Do not add
salt or pepper. Salt draws otp
the juice of meat, while cookin?.
and al.-o tends to toughen it a bit.
On the other hand, cooking with
i salt does improve the flavor. So

water. The oven should be at its

quick searing k-eps the juices in.
Then dash 2 eupfiils of boiling
water over the roast, cover the
pan with its lid. and reduce the
heat. Continue cooking slowly
for about 2 hours. Meat varies,
of course, and the usual allowance
for lamb isl T t 20 minutes of
roasting per pound. Baste with its
