' He foand himself sitting on the
edge of. his bed and rubbing his
head as though he had just awak
ened from the wanderings of
. somnambulist. He noticed his new
-suit of clothes hanging over a
chair. . - When he ' left he would
hare Very few things to take with
him. Slowly, scarcely comprehend-!-
the significance of his move
ment, be went through the acti
- T. y ol br thing and dressing him
self afresh.
The cards had -, fallen against
- him and he was at the end of Mm
rope. Somehow, despite his best
. efforts, he had come ,.lnto the
final stretch of a race, and he was
the loser. The future, where he
would go ana wnai ne wouia ao,
seemed of no concern to him at
all. Sown enough he would find
out all about that. Whatever it
was to be, wouldn't matter. Noth
ing mattered. y
He beard the telephone ringing
downstairs and he could con-
', celve of no reason why be should
" ' answer it. What could anyone say
that was of the slightest import
ance? The thing could ring till the
bells fell off it If it wanted to.
Slowly, with Infinite care, be se
lected a necktie without having
,any real choice in the matter.
Trivial things like neckties, after
all. -were the only things that
con Id concern him.
He heard Tobe's voice below
callinr him to the telephone. .
"Tell 'em I'm not home." he
called down listlessly.
The old negro came half way
up the stairs. "It's Miss Marian on
de wire, snn."
jCHAPTER XLIX
It was a new lease on life the
welcome, thrilling sound of Mar
ian's TOlce on the wire. However
hopeless the futurenothing could
take away from Eddie these iso
lated moments of joy. Out of a
universe dull with unhappineas he
, drank in the vital elixir of her
personality; diluted in distance,
but potent enough to lend bis
heart beating faster.
Even though the dear voice
! came to him nervous and disturb
ed, he imagined It carried some
bidden tenderness.
"Father Just came home about
' his conversation with you.
He knew that she was aware of
her father's ban upon him.
Doubtless, Mr. Thorndike had
warned her, too. to have nothing
further to do with him. It gave
him a throbbing satisfaction to
know" that Marian, even so, cared
, enough to call "him up In defiance
of the edict that separated them.
"Did he tell you everything?"
"Yes. I'm so sorry It's ter
rible." ,
Their conversation, he realized,
must necessarily be guarded, be
cause of the party line telephone
system. There was no telling Jiow
many listening ears might be on
the wire but perhaps he might
express himself so as to render
anything overheard quite harm-?
less. There was the chalice that nd
one was over hearing them, but
the possibility stifled expression.
The things that Eddie and Mar
Ian had to say were too poignant
ly Intimate to be spoken for other
people, perchance, to hear. Yet,
there was so much that had to be

NEGLECT OFTEN THE

Which Are Preventable, Says Dr. Copeland, Citing

Arteritis may be chronic er acute. Ia tho

the disease may not be recognised antil there is

..He hoped desperately that she
would understand what be really
meant.
"It seems the only thing to do."
"Do you mind If I rrlte you
from wherever I'm going?"
He could feel the strain of her
silence bef ore-she answered him.
Her words seemed to tremble.
, -Yes. write.'
"I won't be able to see you be
fore I go?"
"I'm afraid not."
"I suppose this is goodbye?"
Her voice was faint.
"Yes."
"Goodbye, then."
"Goodbye ..."
He held the receiver to his ear,
still waiting for the click, that
would tell when the connection
was broken. With each possible
fragment of a second he .wanted
to prolong this most fragile of all
bonds between them.
The seconds stretched out and
repeated themselves, but there
was no sound of a receiver going
up at the other end.
"Are you still there?" he asked,
hungrily.
"Yes..."
The silence hung between them
with painful intensity. What more
could they say what more could
they do? Yet, neither had the
power to break the connection.
After a time, Eddie spoke softly,
almost a whisper.
"It's brutal to part this way."
After a protracted spell Marian
whispered: .
"Yes."
A daring hope, scarcely ac
knowledged, stirred within him.
"Would a could we see each
other".
He waited, tense' with uncer
tainty, for her to answer while the
great old clock in the hall ticked
in silence.
When she spoke her voice was
muffled but hasty with ojuick de
cision. "Down where our lane runs into
the main road ... in an hour . ."
No hesitancy now in hanging up
the receiver a swirl at his heart
spread through his whole being
with an agonizing rush.
Nothing mattered now . .he was
going to see her . . everything else
in life was uncertain, but this
glorious fact revolved around him
and through him with the sensa
tion of music and color alike.
In the face of defeat he had
been able to snatch one beautiful
banner from the grasp of misfor
tune. . was able to wave it defiant
ly aloft ...
He stepped out on the veranda
and filled his lungs with the warm
perfume of the night.
In the east, a little to the north,
a great orange disc that was the
moon lifted Its are above,the dark
line of pines. There 'fluttered
through him ail of the strange, be
wildering glamour of youth, and
love, of sorrow and hope, till the
blood in bis veins ran golden and 1
his brain trembled with excite
ment. In his buggy he drove as far as
Locust Grove and hitched his
horse behind a screen of trees;
then on he went afoot. His idea of
time was highly Inaccurate and he
was, at least. 30 minutes too soon.
Even so, It was after t o'clock.

tire for-the night.
Her bouse stood an eighth of a
mile back from the road and he
could see one dim light that sig
nified, perhaps, her room.
Maybe she had told-them she
was going to bed early and the
light was burning as a beacon to
bis hopes. In any case, be knew
she would slip away to meet him.
So secure was he in this thought
that he suffered not at all from
Impatience.
Nothing on earth n o t h 1 n g
eould prevent Marian from meet
ing him . . . "
As Eddie waited in the moon
light for Marian, a buoyancy grew
upon him and everything In his
world seemed to be floating and
swimming in a delicious, gold
feeling of life.
The truth was, his state was no
more abnormal than the universal
delicious madness that afflicts all
young men In love.
Yet, as he sat down upon a log
opposite her gate, it seemed to
him he was reclining upon some
incredibly luxurious royal couch;
the whole world swept out before
him like a gorgeous roll of tapes
try for his approval the convic
tion was borne upon him that he
occupied a sweet and exalted do
minion over all his fellow men.
So delleiously prevailing was
this sense of power that he forgot
his black despair and truly con
sidered himself the luckiest young
man on earth.
He alone was waiting for Mar
Ian. She had chosen him for this se
cret tryst out of the unnumbered
multitudes that swarmed the face
of the earth.
Hia-eyes were bright, his mouth
was dry, but he was omnipotent In
his powers.
Had he chosen, his voice could
have duplicated the golden tones
of Caruso; no expression of art

was beyond bint. If called upon he
could have disposed of a De.mp
aey or a Tunney with nonchalant
ease. - ' -
' For once In his life perhaps
the last time Eddie Regan sur
ged with the madness of the gods
and bis head reeled with their
ambrosia.
Even when he saw Marian's
form, a flitting bit of white, steal
ing toward him down the moon
light lane, he was not, at once,
brought back to reality.
He rose and waited for her and
the dusty road beneath' bis feet
was sheer velvet
Not until she was close upon
him and he saw her face, pale and
strained, did the spell break.
Then, in a blinding flash, real
ity smote him, and he shuddered
with the unhappiness over the
tragedy that was, actually, his
portion.
This was their last time to
gether. (To be continued tomorrow.)

stood stock 8 tilL So did Tom Saw
yer and Huckleberry Finn, who
were with them.
They were on a queer adven
ture. The shadow-children had
met Tom, and Huck leaving the
inside of a tall, red-covered book
entitled "Huckleberry Finn," The
two boys were seeking the pirate
captain Long John Silver, who
lived In a book called "Treasure
Island. This they found at the
end of the row of books on the
shelves in the library. Hoping that
John Silver would make pirates of
them, Tom- and Huck quickie
crawled Into the book. Knarf, Mij
and Flor wanted to be pirates, too,
so they followed them, while Han
id and Yam, the girl-shadows, not
caring to remain alone, went In
last of all.
"Are there any pirates here?"
Knarf repeated loudly, peering
along the margin of the page.
There was no answer.
"They must all be out pirating,"
Tom Sawyer said.
"You can't find any pirates on
thii page," Hanld said.
"Why not?"
"Because this Is the Title Page.
Pirates never bother staying there
They're always in the middle of
the story.
As there was no doubt that she
was right, the others reluctantly
left the Title Page. No sooner did
they do so than they heard a clat
tering of knives and forks and
dishes and a hubbub of voices. It
sounded as though dinner was be
ing eaten somewhere nearby.
"Have another plate of turtle
soup. Captain Silver," a voice said.
"No pan me half-a-dozen her
rings instead," replied a booming
voice.
Tom and Huck and the shadow
boys gazed at each other in de
light "It's John Silver and his
pirate -crew!" they whispered.
"Let's find out where they are!"
"They're right in here." Hanid
said, pointing to the next page. ,
"They're having their dinner,"
Yam added.
The boys were more and more
excited. "Let's go In right away!"
they cried. Now the question arose
as to which was the best way to go
in from the top or the bottom.
Hanid smiled slyly.
"Generally," sue said, "people
drop in for dinner. But It isn't

However, they had no desire to
be polite. I wouldn't do it, if I
were you." - -
"You'd better not go," she warn
ed them again. They didn't heed
her. Up they went. From the top
of the page they glanced down and
saw Capt. John Silver and a crew
of fierce-looking pirates seated
around the Table of Contents, de
vouring their dinner.
The Pirates Drew Their Cutlasses.
"When I shout three," Tom
Sawyer said, "let's all drop in at
once. One, two, three !"
Down they went The next in
stant they landed in the middle of
the table. .Uttering a shout of
amazement, John Silver and his
pirates sprang back, overturning
chairs and scattering plates,
knives, forks and the fish they
were about to eat.
"We want to be pirates!" Knarf
announced calmly. Instead of be
ing delighted, the hungry pirates
drew their cutlasses, which are
long, sharp swords, and rushed at
them. "We'll make pirates out of
you all right, all right!" they
roared. The would-be pirates did
not wait. They leaped off the ta
ble and darting from sentence to
sentence, finally escaped with
whole skins from the page.
"Are you pirates, yet?" Hanid
and Yam asked slyly as they pass
ed. But they received only a
growl for answer.
And that was impolite enough
really to have come from pirates!

Shrimp As Cocktail or Mata
Dish Tempt Dull Appetite
Shrimp can be served as almost
any point in a dinner. Chilled, it's
an appetizing cocktail - to begin
with. Or. it may be a hot canape
or entree; or combined with rice
and vegetables as a main dish or
served cold as a salad.
Shrimps are obtainable In most
city markets fresh for a good part
of the year, but at all times they
cajL be purchased in tins or jars.
Canned shrimps should be washed
in cold water and allowed to stand
for a few moments after removal
from the can. To prepare fresh
shrimps, throw them in a kettle
containing several quarts of water
to which 3 tablespoons of salt
have been added. Let them simmer
over a slow fire for 20 minutes.
(The shrimp, greyish white when
fresh, turn pink almost immedi
ately after hitting the boiling wat
er.) After 20 minutes dump into
a colander and let cold water run
through them. Then the shell slips
off easily, and the shrimp should
be put in a cold place until ready
to serve.
Shrimp Cocktail
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tables chopped pickles or rel
ish. 2 teaspoons lemon juice.
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
sauce.
H teaspoon salt.
Mix these ingredients and keep
well chilled. Cocktail glasses
should also be kept chilled. Ju3t
before serving, place a few
shrimps in the glass, add a spoon
ful of this sauce and mix well.
Shrimp Canape or Entree
1 pound shrimps
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 canned pimiento
Vi teaspoon salt
V teaspoon curry
The shrimps should first be
cooked and chilled. Melt the but
ter, add flour and milk, stirring
constantly until smooth. Then
add the diced pimiento and sea

About five minutes before serv

mixture on rounds of bread that
have first been toasted on one
side. Put. under. the broiler to
brown.
Baked Shrimps
1 pound. cooked shrimps
2 cups srained tomato juice
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 eups cooked rice
1 small onion, chopped fine
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
teaspoon salt
Cutter a baking dish and put
in the shrimps and dry cooked
rice mixed together, then bread
crumbs, onion, tomato, juice and
seasoning and bake in a hot oven
for about 20 minutes.
Although pepper is frequently
used with shrimps, it is too sharp
a seasoning for this delicately fla
vored food. Curry supplies the lit
tle pep- needed and seems to blend
better.
Shrimp Salad
1 pound cooked shrimp
1 cup diced raw celery
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon"" juice
Mix shrimp and rtlery togeth
er, add lemon juice, and last the
mayonnaise. Place in icebox to
chill. Endive, If available, la espe
cially good served with shrimp in
stead of ordinary lettuce.
'Be sure to cook the fresh shrimp
adequately. Twenty minutes is us
ually sufficient, but if they are
the very large variety they may
take a little longer. Test for ten
derness at the end of 15 minutes
and you can thfn judge how much
more cooking is required. One of
the reasons why people sometimes
find shrimps "undigestible" is
that they are undercooked and
tough.
