Bernicw Verenst, "gnns girl." Is in love with Kddle, but li .becomes disgusted and breaks away. Boarding a freight train, he goes to VirKinia. where he meets Marian T!iMndike and PenfieVd Paradine.

Eddie starts ,to work, more to establish himself in Harlan's good graces than for profit. He realizes the gulf which yawns be tween them, but is fired with hope. ! CIIAITKR XIII In his arms, as he half sup ported her, Marian was an auto matic creature of response. What jshe did was beyond the control of her will indeed, she had made no call whatever upon her pow ers of resistance but had allowed In almost a trance-like state, the delicious madness of the moment to sway her. Her body pressed close to him with a nestling .movement in a bewildering up rush of tenderness. In his em. brace she sudenly relaxed and fell away, her breath fast and feverish. $ Eddie looked dawn upon her halo of the senses There was lp but his vision was obscured by his brain only a burst of light and 'warm throb. Once more he bent; over her, but her hand against his shoulder pressed him away. "Please ..." She looked at him steadily and very slowly be could feel the spell that had ben upon him evapor ate. Rational thought came to tbem both but neither was im mediately calm. "Why did we do that?" she asked him. her voice tremulous with mystification. ? It was difficult for him to find words. "I couldn't help it." "It wasn't your fault; it was mine," she whispered. He could think only of three words: "I love: you." "I shouldn't have let, you," she said, shaking her bead: He could sense that she did not share his overpowering emotion and conscience tore at him bit terly. Somehow he had the de spondent impression that he had taken advantage of a momentary weakness iu her that he had forced upon her caresses, shame fully, and without warrant. Not for an instant did he suspect that sho bad made it all possible, de liberately and through curiosity which " had in! one overpowering moment escaped her control. He was, now, more sensitive than the girl. Then she it was who spoke with the first return of normal voire. "I think I have treated you GIVE MILK AS FOOD, NOT AS A BEVERAGE Mothers Err in Believing that Fruit Juices and Milk uppfy Sufficient Liquid, Says Authority Baby Should Have Plenty of Pure Water Each Day. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, Xeie York City. N OT long ago I happened to be mothers.

"I have given you a wrong idea, I am afraid, and I don't knw exactly what to do about it. Do "you know why I let you kiss me-r-and why I kissed you?" "All I know Is that you are so wonderful that I lost my head " "From the very first moment I saw you," she said, "I knew you, might do something' like this If I gavej you the chance. I think you excitied my curiosity and I let my vanity run -away with me. I wanted to see what you would do. It was a pretty' low-down trick for toe to play. But I reckon I must have a streak in me that is not entlrry nice." He could not believe the im possible she was an angel, noth ing less. "Yotu couldn't he mean and low-down If you tried a thousand years," he said, fervently. "No girl should let a man kiss her like that unless she loved him' Marian declared thought fully. "Really, you make me feel dreadfully ashamed. 'A kiss that's nothing. I mean it Is noth ing U It is simpfy done and for gotten and has no significance. But ho girl has a right to lead a man i on when she doesn't mean , "Ton never led me on not an Inch,1? he cried, a ring of vexa tion In his voice at her self-accusation. "I never dreamed that you cared for me all I did was hope that some day you might. When I kissed you It was because I lost my head not because you want ed me to Just for the fun of it." She was so close to him hut this time there would be no yield ing. Between then) he was erect ing his own barriers the mental hazards that would kepe her at arm's' length. A fear was In his mind that if she found him too greedy of affection she would be done with him forver. Nor was he conscious of any great disappointment that she did not return his love. That would be too much to expect. Immedi ately. ' No. she was a girl of heav enly sweetness and before her he was a trembling barbarian. That they had once been locked lip to lip was a miracle to be hidden away In his soul. As he looked at her he felt shy and guilty. Even to be still sit ting on the arm. of her chair was an act of effrontery, and he rrose. He sat down in another chair and looked at her from a distance niut,e. evidence of his respect. "I knew you would be like this." She was speaking very slowly, her eyes warm and her voice filled with gentleness a gentleness that haf a f lint tinge in conversation with two young water to a baby. ."Why," she said, "milk and orange juice contain all the water required." Frankly. I do not agree with this dear mother, but do share the view of the other, who said she gives her baby water several times a day. It Is too common a belief that milk is a bever-. age alone. In a sense it is, but I wish to impress upon everybody that milk is in reality a food and one of the most valuable of all foods. Its great place in the human dietary is due to the vital food elements it contains. It must not be j regarded as merely a thirst destrpyer: In certain age groups milk is almost as es sential as air. At every age milk is an important food. It is conspicuous for its digestibility. It contains the building and repair materials. It oosse3ses the required salts and vitamins. boning and cooling. short' shoes or high heels? Is the fault due to A. Usually due to wearing short, narrow shoes, causing pressure on the joint.

IMS. nmmwm Ftatm oi pity, bomewnere in you have picked up a krnd of cbiv. airy that is a little different from most men's. I wonder what the other women have been like 'In your life?" - And to Eddie Regan's intense surprise, it sounded faintly, as though she were bitten by an in explicable jealousy. . It was impossible for Eddie to discuss with Marian - Thorndike the girls of his past. They were so Inferior v that he blushed In wardly at the thought that he had ever given any of them the out ward semblance of love. "I never loved a girl in my life before you," he said, haltingly. To give voice to his lore was harsh straining with him. Such words did not come easily to: his Hps and there was an Innate bashfulness that choked In his throat. To tell her he loved her was like hnrling a missle at her head. "Oh tell me the truth." she said, with a frankness that be wildered him. "I have sense enough to know that it was im possible for you to have kept away from girls. You have that something that draws them. In New York you must have known lots of them and I wonder what they were like." "Sure, I knew a lot of girls but they didn't mean a thing." He spoke with conviction. "I did n't know what It was all about until that day I saw you riding ; past me in the road when I was sitting under, a tree. It hit me with , a wallop all of a sudden. Since then I've changed." - "But that isn't telling me about the other girls." "They never meant a thing to me," he insisted. "The way I felt toward them was Just a mistake. It was Just playing around." "You never told a girl before you loved her?" "I never did."

J0- His mind turned back to the passionate, dark - eyed Bernice Veressl, and he realized m never before that her sinister attraction for him had appealed only to some unguarded and wanton phase of his naturethat his body might have been drawn to her but that she had never com manded any tenderness nor re spect nbr humility from him. And as for the other girls, it was al most impossible to conjure up their faces or names or forms. When he had kissed Marian Thorndike there had been eman ations from her that had vibrat ed to the very core of his being. He had been exalted and carried up to the highest to think of anything else under the name of love was an impossibility. "I am sorry you care for me," she told him softly. It was almost a challenge and his spirit rose stubbornly to meet it, ' "It doesn't make any difference how you feel about it." he said, with quiet- firmness. "If I never saw you again after tonight I would still be ahead of the game. With me, I now have something ta look up to. It's like looking up at a star. I don't know where on earth I got the nerve to talk this way and tell you these things; hut sooner or later they would have come out.

"Won't you come in? The clover here is delicious." I "Thank you. we don't care fr clover," said Hanid. "That's too bad! 'Do you prefer thistles?

So they all crawled through te fence and eat down on a clump pt moss with their feet crossed up der them like Turks. Mr. Don key stood right in front of theitn. "What would you like me sing?" he asked. "Sing anything." The donkey thought ' awhile and then Tie said thoughtfulljf : "I'll sing ytou a little lullaby my mother taught me." With that he parted his tips and' uttered a bray eo deafening that the shadows had to' put their fingers In th"eir ears. He stopped after the first note and gazed at them expect antly. "I knew you'd like my voice," he said. "It's sweet, isn't it? I'anJ quite fond of it myself." ; "Isn't the lullaby rather loud?," Flor said hesitantly. "It might wake the baby up instead of put ting it to sleep." ' "Not at all. A lullaby should be loud in order to drwji out al other noises. I'm surprised voiu didn't know that. However, I'jl i '! , .
