that Dale would like to have me

turned to him with a smile and a

"Wait Just a minute. You mean

"That's whatever." The litUe man
grinned impudently. “I’m his hired

Kerney stood staring after the de­
parting figure as if uncertain of the
best course to pursue. When the
latter vanished around the corner of
the station, the constable followed.
A moment later, he sighted his
quarry walking briskly along Mar­
ket Street In the direction of Old
White. Kerney followed at a dis­
tance calculated to disarm suspi­
cion. It wouldn’t hurt to Shadow
this new arrival.
To his chagrin, he saw the man
with the suitcase turn with a friend­
ly wave of his paper parcel as he
entered the parsonage yard. Ker­
ney continued his stroll, watching
the next scene from the comer of
his eye. He saw the door opened
by Doctor Farwell. The man in
the cap dropped his parcels and ex­
tended both hands with a shrill:
"Hey. Dominie!”
There was no mistaking the smile
of greeting on the minister's pale
face, as his own hands went out to
clasp the stranger's.
"Well, I vow!” Kerney ejaculat­
ed. as he turned and retraced his
steps in the direction of his office.
Jonathan Farwell smiled across
the parlor at his guest who lolled

FarweU drew a large open-face
watch from his pocket and studied
it thoughtfully.
"Has he made up his mind yet
what he's goin’ to do?"
"He is going back to school I do
not know Just how soon."
"The sooner the better,” Pink
grumbled. "Here he is now. Driv-

Farwell stepped near enough the
window to look over the smaller
man’s shoulder.
"She is the daughter of one of my
members." His dark eyes contract­

"Then you picked a good church.

Quick steps sounded In the haU.
The parlor door was flung open and
Dale stood framed in the entrance.
"Pink Mulgrewl Gee, but I'm

him affectionately.

"Dale.” FarweU Interposed the
word almost sharply. “I imagine
that Pink would like to go to his
room. WiU you show him the way?”
The minister stood without mov­
ing after the pair left the parlor.
His brows were drawn into a frown
as he stared down at the rug. The
expression on his face did not
change until the silence was broken
by a sound from the second floor.
It was the staccato tattoo of a
punching bag. vibrating under the

WHAT to EAT and WHY
C . Houston Goudiss Discusses the Child Who Has
a Lagging Appetite; Tells W hat to Do
tor the Finicky Eater
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
T HAS been well suid that with the knowledge of nutrition
now ut the command of practicully every mother, there
should not be one ill-nourished child in our land. Unfor­
tunately, statistics show that possibly one-half of the children
in this country are either underweight, undernourished or
malnourished.
Many factors may be responsible for this state of affairs.
Some children are fed ibcor-^__________________________

to eat the food that has been pre­
pared so carefully.
Developing the Right Attitude
Fatigue a Factor
Occasionally, a child does not
eat well merely because he is too
tired. Even though he obtains ade­
quate sleep at night, too much or
too prolonged exercise or excite­
ment may result in fatigue during
the day. If a child spends too
much time with adults, overstim ­
ulation may be the result. And
in the case of older children, their
school work may be troubling
them.
Another frequent cause of lag­
ging nppetite is the constant nerv­
ous tension to be observed in
some households. If u child is al­
lowed to become unhuppy, angry,
or worried over some uncomplet­
ed school assignment, it may in­
terfere seriously with his appe­
tite and consequently with his nu­
trition. With younger children,

refusal as long as mother shows

when the child refuses food.
Scolding, punishment and threats

as they defeat their purpose. He-

It may be necessary for the en­
tire family to live more quietly,
in order to give the finicky eater
a chunce to be quiet and relaxed.
There must be regularity of m rnts
mid m ealtim es must he peaceful.
Keep the table conversation gen­
eral and impersonal in character
before older children. See to It
that younger ones eat by them ­
selves.
Often a short rest before meals
will help a ¿hild to become re-
luxrd completely. And frequent­
ly, a new method of presenting
foods will result in a changed at­
titude on the part of the child.
Foods for young children should
not be seasoned too highly. In
general, condiments should be
avoided. Strong-flavored vegeta­
bles, as a rule, are not well liked,
and if introduced in the young
child's diet should be combined
with some familiar, and mild-taat-
ing food. In cooking vegetables,
keep the pieces large enough so
that tiie child can identify what he
is eating. Include a crisp food in
each meal.

Strange as it may seem, such
difficulties often arise because a
mother fails to give the necessary
consideration to developing in the
young child a proper attitude to­
