years. " A small group of the coun
try gentry came to the funeral;
there, was a group of black faces
i In the gallery of the church. Whe

I clung to the old animosity against
; the dead man, Eddie did not know.
.Marian came ! with her mother,
' but someone safd her father was
. laid up at home with an attack of
rheumatism. "When it was all over
Eddie rode home in a ramshackle
buggy that was part of his inheri
tance. He knew how to drlTe au
tomobiles, but horses were, a mys
tery to him, and Tobe took charge
: of the reins.
) It was a" grotesque trick life had
played him this Juggling from
New York gangland to land own
ership In; Virginia and he was
correspondingly dazed. None of it
i seemed real, but the facts were
undeniable. Perhaps he might
have comprehended"jthat Fate had
taken a hand In the switch of his
fortunes had it not been that the
golden glow of ilariari Thorndike's
personality had spread through all
of his senses.
A stirring stimulation bubbled
like an unquenchable fountain in
his breast and triumphed over the
gloom of Penfield Paradine's
death. The necessary duties Inci
dent to the funeral, Eddie per
formed with a kind of mechanical
aloofness. Upon the advice of old
' Judge Jones hepaid the' needed
j expenses with, notes dated a year

Commanded an a!y bit of limited

"How much . did Mr. Paradine
pay you?" he asked the old negro.
j "He never paid me any "wages
xactly, suh. I just sorta lived on,

wasn't much cash money wid us
nohow." ' 1

HOT WEATHER COUGHS
HANG ON TENACIOUSLY
JVorst Kind of Colds, Says Authority, for They Re
duce Vitality Already Weakened by. Heat and
Leave Victim Without Resistance to Disease.
By ROYAL S. COPELANt), M. D.
j United States Senator from New York,
i Former Commis$ioner of Health. Heto York City.
WINTER is the time we expect, colds and catarrh. But it !&
not in cold weather alone that human beings suffer from these
ailments. Even in Midummer they are all too common.
Indeed, about the worst of colds is the "Summer cold." It drags
n, taking what is left of exhausted energy.
Really, you can be positively ill and incapable
. of your daily duties. From the effects of one
of these colds, you may fee) like staying in bed
for several days.
Science has; much to learn about the common
cold. It is not known for a certainty what causes
it. la it due to the action of germs, bacteria,
-bacilli, or a virusof some sort? Who knows?
Some day the mystery will be solved. Then
a remedy wQl be found, or at least a reasonably
Sure means of protection will be discovered.
Until that glorious day we must do our best with
present knowledge.
Anything that lowers the vitality, lessens the
resistance to disease. When we are well and
strong, full of energy, properly nourished and
living right, we can fight off the agents of
disease. We can resist infection.
Anything that weakens "Jhe system, prepares the way for disease.
The effects of intense heat, causing loss of appetite 'and broken sleep,
lower the resistance power to those agents that produce colds. That is
vwhy the Summer cold is almost as frequently met as the Winter cold.

to stay on the Job just let things

A sadness was on Tobe. "Ah
reckon Ndar ain't .nothing else to
do," he eaid. "If I was to leave
this old place Ah wouldn't know
which way to turn.'
"Yes, and I wouldn't know how
to feed one of the chickens unless
you stick around and show me,"
Eddie said with friendliness. "You
stick around and I'll give you a
good break."
But now he was hungry for a
sight of the girl whose strange
spell had Illuminated his whole
life and made him satisfied nay,
eager to settle down amid the
dusty relics of an extinct family.
With the passing of Penfield Par
adine he knew it was useless to
wait and expect her daily calls
that had been the central, radiant
fact of his existence.
It was possible, of, course, for
him to see her but he could not
steel himself to call upon her at
her home. Surrounding her, he
felt was an Iron bound custom
etiquette and he was afraid that
he might be guilty of some unfor
givable breach of tradition. May
be, because he had Inherited the
Paradine place her. folks might
hate him as they had the previous
owner.
There was another factor she.
herself. Had not shown anything
more than casual interest In him
during her visits. Her thoughts
had all been for the sick man, and
the scant attention paid Eddie was
distant and purely 'courteous.
I What he did not and could not
know was that she had found him
a bizarre and interesting figure
that had come on her horizon
that she had told herself secretly
that Eddie Regan, should she be
privileged to know him better,
would probably prove ten times as
interesting as any man of her ac
quaintance. But his thoughts were
locked securely in his own mind
and no one suspected them.
There were a dozen, a hundred,
things to be Investigated and done
around the farm. Eddie spent
long hours with Tobe trying to
get an idea of farming. There
were rusty implements in a shed
and a horse to drag them through
the field. Fruit and eggs and sur
plus garden products could be
loaded on the spring wagon and
Tobe driving it could dispose of
them in small amounts at the
county seat. Chickens, too, were
a source.
A slight rprofit in the fall, the
negro explained, -was a habit to
cut and saw firewood which
brought three dollars a load in
town. The farm itself, however,
supplied much more of a living
chickens, eggs, milk, butter, fruit
and vegetables. A small patch of
corn was enough grain to produce
meal; it was ground by hand. "
This, Eddie never knew before
the fact that raw material was
close at hand. Food, he Imagined,

was stirred in a boyish elation at
each new discovery.

the sale, to a second hand dealer
in town, netted fifty dollars for

But while he was famished for
the sight of Marian he dared not
go near her neighborhood in the
day. A few miles separated them.
She lived down the road past the
front of his place. Once more hi3
eyes !were hungry to see her. Ha
slipped -put of the house anfd
tramped the whole distance.
Like a thief he crept into the
yard of her home and slipped
from tree to tree till he neared
the spreading frame house that
was the Thorndlke homestead. It
was after 10 o'clock. Save for a
light on an upstairs window, he
caught not a glimpse of her, but
there was a perfect satisfaction In
knowing that once more the dist
ance i between them was slight. A
species of shame came over him
for this prying around her home
and he hurried away, but there
were bubbles in the blood that
sang' through his veins. '
But all this was too difficult to
translate into cold fact. At once
he could tell from the way she
spoke her superior education and
he burned to rid himself of his
Own deficiencies in that respect.
1 Among Penfield Paradine's
Books' he found a set of books
written by Edward Gibbon, "The
History of the Decline and the
Fall of the Koman Empire." Each
night for a week he read steadily

TTi Shadow-Children Attend a
Royal Birthday Party in the
Chinese Plate
"Aren't you coming to the p'"r

Mij. Flor, Hanid, Yam and
Knarf the five little shadow-children
with the turned-aboutjnames
looked up sharply to seejwhere
the voice was coming from. It
sounded strangely familiari They
were sitting on the edge of a fork,
which, was leaning against the
Chinese Plate on the dining-room
table.
"It's Ting-a-Ling," exaiaimed
Hanid. They looked into the Chi
nese Plate. Sure enough, It was
their Chinese friend, Ting-a-Ling.
There he was. standing on the
bridge that crossed the brook in
the painted picture in the; plate.
He was waving and calling to
them at the top of his voice. .

The shadow-children quickly

"O-oh," cried Yam, "how old

"They're exactly a year older
than they were on their last birth

"But that doesn't " began
Yam.
"Sh-h." Hanid said, "you must
not be so inquisitive. Besides we
must hurry. The party is wait

They started to walk to the
palace which was beyond the
garden on the other side of the
brook. "King Sum-Tweet-Tee is
very sweet to have thought of in
viting us," Flor said to Ting-a-Ling
as they neared the" palace.
They could hear the voices of the
