WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
Eddie Regan, once a member of a
New York gang,' has broken away
and gone to Viricinia, where he be
friends Penfield Paradine, who dies
and leaves all his possessions to Eddie.
Eddie had been in love with Bernice
VeresaU "gang girl," but all thought of
her is lost when he meets and falls in
love with Marian Thorndike. Marian
is engaged to Tom Freeman. Freeman
and Eddie dislike each other, and Ed
dlo discounted, goes to Richmond,
where he meets Mike Arno, a former
member of the gang, who tries to per
suade him to return to New York and
Bernice. Eddie, however, returns to his
farm and telephones Marian asking
her if he may call. Freeman overhears
the conversation and a fight ensues,
In which Eddie knocks Freeman out
and takes him to Marian's home. Free-
:- man is revived and tells Eddie he
wants -tft be friends and they shake
hands on the bargain. Eddie is invited
to the Thorndike home for dinner and
Marian' father questions him as to
his past. More determined than ever
, to win Marian, Eddie returns home
and srfew days later he is surprised
when Bernice Veressi comes to his
home.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXYTII
It all seemed so elemental t
her that Eddie, In a moment of. de
spair, wondered If it would be hu
manly possible for her to under
stand even faintly the discrim
ination, the rigid proprieties, of a
conventional society, the like of
which Bernice Veressi in her
crowded life had never known.
She was a child of "the pavements,
an exotic flower of the asphalt.
She had come from the crawling
depth3 where passion was virtue
and chastity a myth; yet there
was nothing promiscuous about
Nher she was a creature of violent
"preferments and, in a sense that
really few could understand, she
was, according to her own code,
un defiled in her warm beauty.
" He hesitated, touched by her
humility, and reluctant to wound
f her pride; still, a sharp clean
f thrust was the way of mercy.
I "You can't stay here," Eddie
1 said, grimly, "because I don't
i j want you. I don't care for you the
way I used to think. I did."
I She was'less sensitive than he
j had Imagined.
f i "You're not telling me a thing,
f Eddie," she returned. "The min
I tite you came in the room I knew
I I wasn't handing you any of the
f old kick. There used to be sparks
In the air when we came together
f and there'll be sparks again. Ev
l erything will come back to us
i If got to!"
He tried to explain: "We could
not get away with that stuff, even
If we wanted to in a place like
this. These people down here are
" different from the ways of the old
mob back home. If anybody
would try to pull off something
man or woman alike they'd be
disgraced. It's a community that
won't stand for any foolishness,
: everybody knows everybody else
''" fT"aBi0 absolutely im
I 2-to get away with any-
t t you were to stay In this
' fc"d both probably be ar-
- .. i r' sheriff."
i She leaned forward, her lips
parted.
s "Do you mean to say you'd let
these hicks run your life?"
'They're not hicks, Bernice,
they're regular people they get
married, they go to church. I like
them a million times better than
the wise mob In New York and
I'm getting to be one of them. I
POOR MASTICATION

We Must Not Only Break Up the Food, but Alio
the Saliva to Change the Starches Into Sugar
This Overcomes Acidity, Dr. Copeland Says.

coming from the vegetable world, consists largely of starch. The
mixture of the saliva with the starch converts the latter into sugar,
fhat sugar is the passport indicating to the stomach and other digestive
rgana that the morsel of food is properly prepared for Its journey.
This step, known to the doctors as- '
salivary digestion," is far more im -
oortant to health than is generally
recognized. Chewing the food
thoroughly is too commonly regarded
is a sort of a fad. For so many
-rears we have laughed at "Fletch-'
riling," that a suggestion to chew I
the food more finely is more likely
o raise a laugh than meet with
a favorable response. I'm sorry
bout this because many a case of ln
ilgestton would disappear if the
teeth were encouraged to perform
their proper function.
Unless the starch we eat is proc-1
ased by the various digestive Juices
provided for this purpose, ; there is1
sure to oe acidity. Heartburn, belch
tag of gas, sour taste in the mouth,
IrooUng and stomach-ache are famil
iar symptoms of acdity. While con
stipation and other factors enter into
ths problem, there can be no doubt
that the first of the neglectful acta
f man is bis failure to chew his
- food. That la the beginning of his
iyspepsis.

"You think I'd drag you down
is that it?"
He was silent.
"Mike Arno told me you inher
ited some property." Bernice said,
slowly. "He told me you'd turned
farmer but I can't believe it.

She might as well know

"Yes."
"What's she like tell me!'
He shrugged.
'"We can leave her out of

"You going to marry her?"
"Maybe."
"Has she given you the 'yes,'
yet?'
"Not yet."
He could see the welling up of a
dense, hungry unhappiness in her
dark eyes. She was like a prisoner,
desperately, "pleading with an im
placable Judge.
"Oh, Eddie " Her voice throb

He was humiliated at her lack
of restraint. For a woman to bare
her heart like that was an awful
thing
"I couldn't make you happy,"
he said, nervously. "You'd be dis
appointed and it would ruin my
whole life "
He got out of the chair with a
feeling that as long as he sat there
he would be pilloried.
Then, at once, the sinuous, sil
ky figure of the girl flew to him
he was enmeshed, helplessly, in
the entanglement of her caresses.

More and more we have com to realize that
defects in the teeth lay the foundation for serious
illness. If the teeth become abcessed, poisons
develop which may carry disastrous effects to
remote parts of the body.
But what I have in mind today is to point
out the necessity for thorough chewing of the
food. The food is prepared in the mouth for its
journey of digestion.
Unless armed with a passport you would not
get far in a foreign country. Unless the food
is thoroughly chewed, the first step toward the
prevention of indigestion has been neglected.
In the breaking up of the morsels of food
by thorough chewing something else is accom
plished., The saliva is intimately mixed with the
food substance. This produces an interesting
ehemical change.

It is the result of taking Infect

It is not uncommon to con

This trouble rarely attacks

of the fu-
ture, a pamphlet to De issuea Dy
the University of Oregon as a part
of its gift campaign, was approved
today by the state board of higher
education which has been in ses
sion for the past two days at the
university club here.
The pamphlet explains what
new buildings and what endow
ments are needed by the university
with the idea of interesting friends
of the institution to donate funds
to fill the needs, either by re
quests, trust funds or by naming
the university beneficiary in their
life insurance policies.
New buildings mentioned In the
pamphlet are: in Eugene, build
ings for the school of music and 1
the school of architecture; audi
torium, memorial court in honor
of the university's soldiers in the
World war, scientific buildings,
infirmary and dispensary, dormito
ries, gymnasium, student union..
In Portland: the third unit of the
medical school building, a hospital
for adults in addition to the doern
becher hospital for children, ap
sychopatic hospital, nurses' home,
hospital for contagious diseases.
Endowments for teaching and
research funds, fellowships, scho
larships and loan funds are men
tioned in the pamphlets needed.
The board unanimously adopted
a resolution that training of ele
mentary school teachers be con
fined to the Btate normal schools
until a survey of alU state institu
tions of higher education is coni
Ipeted. The following were present at
today's session:
C. L. Starr, president; A. R.
Watzek, temporary secretary; Al
bert Burch, C. C. Colt, B. F. Ir
vine, E. C. Pease and E. C. Sam-mons.

Bj Max Trell a
Knarf Tries to Steal a March on
the Other Children
One day Mij, Flor. Hanid, Yam
and Knarf the five little shadow-children
with the turned-about
names were invited to take tea
with Cuckoo who lived in the
clock in the hallway. They prom
ised to be there at five o'clock,
which is teatime, as you. well
know.
Being more than tfunctual, they
reached the clock at twenty min
utes past four. Knarf, who was ;
very hungry for Mistress Cuck- j
oo's little minute-buns iwhich she
always served at her tea-parties,
was for going up at once. ;
"Oh, no," Hanid said. "That '
would be impolite. She doesn't '
expect us yet."
"Let's surprise her," said Knarf
"She'd enjoy being surprised."
But the others all shook their
heads.
"You only surprise ; people On
their birthday," they said.
"Humph," said the little shad
ow boy, "let's make believe it's
her brithday then."
Nevertheless the others refused
to be persuaded, so Knarf left
them and sat down on Cuckoo's i
doorstep which was very near the j
top of the clock. The door was ;
tightly closed.
"It's no use your waiting," the j
others called up to him. "She ;
won't let you in." ,
The-big minute hand was draw
ing near to the number five and
was about to pass the hour hand
when Mij exclaimed, "I have an
idea. Instead of crawling up to
Cuckoo's house, we can take the
elevator."
"Elevator!" they all said In
surprise. Even Knarf's Interest
was aroused and he leaned over
to hear Mij answer: "The min
ute hand is the elevator. If we sit
on it. It will take us right up to
number twelve. And that's where
Cuckoo lives."
Mij was right for Cuckoo did
live at Number Twelve, Cuckco
Clock, top floor front.
Knarf, however, began to laugh.

'It will take you half an hour to
get there," he said.
"That doesn't matter. We'll
just be there at live o'clock sharp
and Cuckoo will be at her door
calling us."
"Come down here and ride up
with us on the elevator?" the oth
ers invited. Knarf smiled shyly.
He had a much better plan. As
the minute hand touched number
six the door suddenly swung open
and out came Cuckoo, for no other
purpose than to announce the
half-hour, as she always did.
Knarf quickly darted in before
she spied him. Then he ran right
through her house until he reach
ed the entrance to the long stair
way leading down into the cellar

where the clock's machinery was
stored. He fairly flew down th?
dark, winding stairs. Louder and
louder grew the tick-tock, tick
tock as he descended. At last he
came to the bottom and opening
a tiny door he found himself in
a long room filled with the most
curious maze of wheels and cogs
and springs.
Stepping carefully around all
these objects which whirled and
turned and jumped in the mo.st
alarming -manner, he arrived at
length at a tall steel wall. Put
ting his ear to the wall he heard
with startling loudness TH'K

Knarf knew then that behind
that wall was what he was seek
ing the mainspring and maincog
of the clock, two things which
kept the clock going.
Instantly he ran around and

Not only is stew tempting to the
average American man, but by
same name of other one finds it
in the cooking of every country.
We may have our homely beef
stew "mulligan" New England
boiled dinner; buthe Hungarian
has goulash, the French fricasee
or bouillabaisse, the Spaniard
chili con came, and so on.
Shew is an excellent way In
which to use the cheaper cuts of
meat. Flank, shoulder, short rib,

in price because they are not the j

they are of fine flavor some in
deed insist their flavor is better
than the quickly cooked steaks
and chops; but this is a matter
of opinion. However, the long
cooking over a slow fire which
all these less tender meats require
does bring out the flavor. Also
the juices, and as these should
not be wasted, cooking with veg
etables into a stew is the way of
common sense as well as economy.

2 pounds shank.
2 carrots.
2 onions.

see, wanted to stop the clock.
His reason was simple. If the

I open the door, the other shadow- j

and he should have the wholt
