The propri etor followed him. i "Nice weather we're having, sir." The man was amiable, but he was too polite to express any Curiosity. ! "The weather's preat." Eddie admitted. "That your dog there?" "Yep, he's mine." I Eddie took the paper off the package and tossed a piece of cheese to the dog. A 'convulsive tnovement of the throat and the jjift disappeared. 1 "Yoii, sure got a great animal fhere." - ; tOnce more Eddie shook bands ith the dog and, because he was fluctuant to feed his own famish ed stomach before his fellowman, lie moved off down a dirt road that -wound away between tracts of timber and neglected fields, f His whole life was now definite ly behind him. He was like a Juan walking in a dream. His sur ' Toundings were so utterly unfamil iar that nothing seemed exactly xeal. Even the yielding earth, un juer feet accustomed to pave . jinents, was oddly fantastic. And fthc air his lungs filled with a 'clean freshness that was soft and TSalmy . .Strange, bewildering sensations stirred In his breast, jard there were almost terrifying moments when he felt that he was alone and helpless upon the face of the earth, j He came ! to a lazy creek and jwent down to the water's edge to wash his face and hands and dried them with his handkerchief. Fur ther on he came to a bend in the 'road where there was a grass bank. He sat down to eat. With his back against a tree and his legs stretched out he partook, without ' undue haste of his food. When he finished he drew out a pack of 'cigarettes and slowly inhaled the luxury of a smoke. Over a distant field he saw three or four great birds floating in circles and he imagined they were eagles. He had never even heard of buzzards. -The sun was getting hotter and his tired eyes slowly closed. There was almost no thought in his mimd h e didn't want to think, at all he Just wanted to forget.

The' sun had given an outdoor tinge to hef complexion and, somehow, She was different from any girl he had even dreamed about. There; was something aloof in the personality that looked at him with slight surprise in the eyes; something self-possessed and dignified gand fine, with an evasive, indescribable beautf. 1 ' . Funny his mind flashed back to Bernice yeressi and in the flash of a second he was comparing the two. He couldn't understand why it was but, in the twinkling of an eye, his whole conception of Ber nice had changed. Obscurely, he realized .that the girl in New York would never again stir his senses. He was through with Bemice4-for all time. When tn girl had passed out of Jight Eddie was touched with a ang of mysterious unhapplness. i She had crossed his vision and there had been a new kind of stir at his heart. Just for an instant the scales had dropped front his For a stretching period of time he reviewed the women he had known; all of them to be weighed and measured in comparison with the loveliness of the radiant girl his sestaoln who had ridden, so briefly, across his vision. He saw the pale and dull faces of factory girls, f tie reddened cheeks and lips of the dance hall flappers, the free and easy girls engaged in manhunt ing on the sands of Coney.

KEEP INFANT'S FOOD AT LOW TEMPERA TURE Dr. Copeland Urges Mothers to Take Special Precau tions to Protect Baby from the Dangers of j Intestinal Troubles in Summer: , By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health. Keu York Ctiy. SUMMER is a trying time for little babies. No matter how watch ful the mother is all the rest, of the year, she must take spefcial, pains 1b. hot weather. No detail Is too small to be overlooked t - Even a husky grown-up suffers the effects of intense heat If this h true, think of how trying the hot days and nights are for the frail infant. Another factor is the danger of milk spoilage. That fine product of the farm reaches your door in perfect condition. It is delivered even in the large cities at a very low temperature. It must be kept so. ' . Exposed to room temperature, even f n a rery few hours, it is sure to be teeming withiun friendlv eerms. There can be no haphazard care of this precious food. The supply must be kept cold until feeding time arrives. j One of the. first effects of giving contami nated milk, is an upset digestion. The stomach rebels. Next, diarrhoea is noted. This caii be' very weakening. ! We look npon diarrhea as an effort -oni the' oart of the system to rid itself of the disturbing; substances in the blood. These serve to irritate; It makes n. difference' whether It is the acidity set up by the bad milk, or because the milk curdles and produces irritating curds. What-i ever is the exact cause makes little difference. The infant hasj diarrhea and It must Be enecrcea "The symptom mav be the effect of T a wrong mixture for the feedings. Too nuch cream "fop milk" or too much sugar. These are, causes tor diarrhea. Children differ aiot In their 'ten dencies to Intestinal troubles. Even In the same familv there is a lot of tiful. She had reminded him of a del icate golden flower that was spir itually alive with an inner vital flame. Some hitherto unfelt sen sation reached and penetrated Mm with tremulous rays of light. His mind remembered her symmetrical body,- the living blue of her eyes, the soft gold of her hair. But, stranger than mere physical beau ty was the sweep of a peculiar re finement that lingered, achingly around him like a faint perfume that was the relic of an unknown sweetness gone beyond the possi bility of recapture. With every passing second the gulf between them widened; she was gone and there was no hope that he would ever see her again. Once more Bernice Veressi .came back into his mind- sensuous, carmine-lipped, reeking with hot house passion. In comparison with the golden girl, Bernice and all the others of her kind became in his clarifying understanding coarse and vaguely disagreeable with tawdry cheapness. brazen sophistication in their harsh voices. Never again, he knew in his heart, could his eyes look on their kind with admiration or desire. Suddenly Eddie got up and moved along once more down the country road. Somewhere in this quiet, sleepy land he knew he must, find a hiding place and set tle down. The feeling of exile was upon him; the New York which had been his whole world never would receive him back again. The Big Guy and the mob would never forget nor forgive. (To be Continued Tomorrow.)
