WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
Eddie Regan, once a member of a
Kew York gang, haa escaped and gone
to Virginia, where he befriends Pen
field Paradine, who dies and leaves all
bis possessions to Eddie. Eddie had
been tat love with Bernlce Veressi,
"sans girl," but thought of her Is put
out of his heart when he meets and
falls in lore with Marian Thorndike,
Eddie desclares his love to Marian, but
she discourages him and tells him she
expects to marry Tom Freeman. Free
man dislikes Eddie, and one afternoon
when Eddie Is calling on Marian. Free
man comes in and insults Eddie. Mar
tan tells Eddie it is hopeless for htm to
love her, and Eddie, discouraged, de
cides to go to Richmond. While he is
' there he meets Mike Arno, a former
member of the gang. Arno tells him
that -Bernlce is still In love with him
(Eddie) and Eddie's thoughts once
more swing to her. Mike tries to get
Eddie to go back to the city, but Ed
die returns to his home and Marian
telephones to him and invites him to
rail. Freeman listens in and telephones
Eddie to meet him and settle things
between them. Eddie agrees and when
they meet a fight ensues In which Free
man Is knocked out.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER XXXI.
If I put him in his automobile
and drive it myself we could make
better time," be decided. "I don't
know exactly where his house is
and besides I couldn't drive up
with him and tell bis folks that
I'd put him out."
Once more he bent over the
stricken man and this time, when
he straightened up, his own face
was white. Freeman's - uncon
sciousness seemed to be deepening.
Eddie scowled, tried to think,
, and was unable to decide anything
in his own mind. He walked over
to the automobile a sedan and
opened one of the doors to the
back seat. The thing to do was to
eet Freeman- to -some nlace-wherR
hte erfuld betaken hip: if&tfrpL-
lng;,- tttr -pot-Trts-arms-arenna- tne
inert form and lugged it to the
machine; with a heave he got the
bulk through the door and up on
the seat. He bundled Freeman's
shirt and coat and vest inside too
It didn't matter about the horse
and buggy. They could stand hit
ched. " Fortunately, Eddie knew
how to drive a car of Freeman's
make.
With the engine started, Eddie
drove out to the road and, hesi
tating a moment, turned the
wheels in the direction of Mar
ian Thorndike's borne.
The blood in his veins was like
ice water, he was conscious of a
dryness in !iis -mouth. It was no
time to stand back on account of
petty considerations he needed
help at once, desperately. Sub
consciously, lie know it was an aw
ful imposition upon Marian t o
bring th!s terrifying, silent object
to her house to lay it, practically
at her feet.
He thought of her, the pale gold
of her loveliness sensitive and pro
tected and ethereal, but he re
membered, too, that he had al
ways sensed In her, beneath the
surface, the polished steel of gal
lantry and courage.
In a pinch he knew that she
would not fail him or Tom Free
man. There was the muck of bru-

beld an uncorked bottle nt am
monia under his nostrils. They
held pieces of ice In cloths and
rubbed his forehead and throat.
"We're sot doing him any
harm." Eddie declared. "If he
doesnt show signs, in a few min
utes we'll get the doctor but let's
give him a chance." They were
agreed, Eddie and Marian that a
physician would be the last resort.
No use, needlessly, to spread the
story with its necessarily peculiar
explanation.
Almost imperceptibly the color
began to creep back Into Tom
Freeman's face, and Eddie, bis
hand on the man's chest, thought
he detected a firmer beating of
the heart.
"What do you think does be
look better to you?" ha-asked Mar
ian anxiously.
She sat down on the side, of the
bed and held one of Freeman's
wrists. "I think he's getting bet
ter." she said.
They waited in silence and af
ter a dragging passage of minutes.
Freeman's eyes fluttered .ever so
slightly. A few minutes more and
he looked up at.both of them glassy-eyed.
"Tom Bpeak to me!" Marian
shook his arm.

tality about both men. but Eddie
realized solemnly that Marian
Thorndike, fragile as she was
was strong enough to cleanse them
both and help them get their
heads up among the stars.
With Tom Freeman's car park
ed close outside the veranda of
Marian's house, Eddie hastened,
hi3 face pale, to the door. Marian
herself greeted him. Instantly she
f'sware of ' Bome, strangeness
bputi him. i . . i :
'' ""Rddle! What on earth la1 tire'
matter?" Despite his efforts at
self-control, his breathing was la
bored. He told her with few words
what had happened. Together
they returned to the car. Marian
was excited, but little perturba
tion showed through the sudden
grim shell she developed.
"We'll get him into a bed," she
said.
One of the negro women serv
ants was available and she took
hold of Freeman's legs, while Ed
die lifted his heavy body. It was
like carrying iron weight as they
struggled up the broad stairs.
Marian preceded them and turned
back the cover of the bed in a
square, high-ceiling room. The
negro woman was pop-eyed with
curiosity,, but Marian, thinking
rapidly, satisfied her.
"Mr. Freeman had a fall," she
exclaimed, realizing the necessity
of concealing from servants' gos
sip the brutal truth.
"He ain't got a shirt on!" the
black woman muttered, in awed
astonishment.
"That's all right," Eddie put in.
"I took off his shirt and threw
water on him to bring him to."
Marian told fhe woman to go
downstairs and crack a pan of ice.
When they were alone she faced
Eddie with serious eyes.
LIGHT IS INVALUABLE

United States Senator from New York.

-iOME WHERE I saw this quotation from Southey:
W "2 marcel not, 0 Sun, that unto thee

Nothing that poet, madman or doctor can
say in praise of sunlight is too extravagant to
be true. To the sun we owe evef-ythinjr for the
health we enjoy.
You cannot be well, strong, vigorous, alert
and magnetic without absorbing what sunlight'
can give. There are qualities in light that stimu-j
late the circulation, enrich the blood and add
to length of days. !
I never see a white-livered, putty-com-
plexioned person without being forced to restrain'
myself. I just long to read him a lecture about
the importance of light.
Not everybody can have sunshine in the home.
Many city houses never get a ray. Eut, fortu

Mrs. W. R. S. Q. How old should
a baby be before being permitted to

A. Babies should not be taken to
see moving pictures a child should
be at least six years before indulg

STORIES

KnaiTs Good Deed Proves i
Disastrous for Him!
For once Master Knarf, the
little shadow-boy with the odd
turned-about name, did intend to
do a good deed. But it was his
particular misfortune that it
turned out badly at least, for
him.
Knarf, with Mij, Flor, Hanid
and Yam the other little shadow-children
were in the play,
room f one afterrnoon when, they
heard theJsdund 'Of si 'h.esyj" btody
rolling aldng tli'e floor. 'They
looked very carefully on the floor
of the playroom. There was noth

therefore, that the heavy body, or
whatever else it was, was rolling
along some other ,floor in the
same room.
'Why!" exclaimed Yam, "there
can be only one floor in a
room !"
"Thafg sof agreed Mij and
Flor.
Hanid, however, shook her
head. Then she pointed. to the
doll-house standing on the table.
"There a floor in there," she
said.
"Of course there Is!" Knarf
cried trying to appear very wise.
"I knew about it all along!" Artf

"Come here." ne shouted, mo

They did so.' Peering in through
the window they saw a strange
sight. The Roly Poly family was
rolling along the floor of the doll
bouse while Miss Dol, who was
sitting in the farthest corner of
the room, was saying, "That's it!
A little more! You almost did it
that time!"
Filled with curiosity to know
what it all meant, the shadow
children, led by Knarf, hastened
Inside. The Roly-Polys stopped at
once, looking a little sheepish.
"What's the matter?" Mij
wanted to know.
Paw Roly and Maw Roly and
the three little Rolys could only
titter so Miss Doll answered for
them. "They're learning to stand
on their heads," she said.
"To stand on their heads!"
Hanid exclaimed. "What do they
want to do that for?"
"They're tired of standing on
their feet. I think."
Paw Roly stopped tittering
long enough to say: "We've been
standing on our feet so long that
I think it would be a pleasant
change to stand on our heads for
a while."
"Well," said Knarf, "why don't
you then?"
"We can't seem to manage It
somehow," said Maw Roly. "The
moment we bend over we roll

"They're very well balance!,

The whole Roly-Poly family
nodded so eagerly in agreement
that they bobbed from side to
side like empty floating bottles.
