Member of The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association HEALTH SELDOM COMES BY CHANCE TO PERSONS OVER THIRTY - Good health cannot be taken for granted any more than a good income can. So for persons over thirty it is just as smart and busi­ ness-like to plan to enjoy good health as it is to plan to enjoy a good income. And it’s just as much a matter of plain common sense to cheek up on yourself. In health, your shortcomings are, at first, likely to be those annoying, not-exactly-well feelings. At such times, if your blood were tested, it would most likely be found “low in count”. This means a shortage of red corpuscles and the corpuscles themselves short of haemoglobin. Make up this double shortage, and you’ll come up to normal health again. Neglect it and serious results may follow. Observing, in his practice, the importance of keeping the vitality of the blood up to normal, a Canadian authority originated a blood­ building preparation which has been helping run-down people back to health for nearly half a century. This preparation, now known the world over as Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills, definitely increases the blood ‘‘count” in the majority of cases, thereby restoring vitality, steadying nerves, imparting strength and toning up the whole sys­ tem. So the person over thirty who finds good health slipping, is well advised to take, at least a 30-day treatment of this excellent remedy. The element of chance has been practically eliminated int oS,lf. a treatment, because tests recently made by an authority in aa clime of 40 people, proved conclusively by individual blood “count” s that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills certainly improve the health by a enriching the blood.

A watchful foot­ man sped down the steps. “Send Kennedy to dered. The footman was a he seemed to be well Cleo waited impatiently in library.

Imbecile!” “I’ve done better than you think. If she and Duane are starting West cn the same train it’s for appear­ ances, not for any joy ride. You’ll probably find that one or the other of them will go on to Reno,” he ded significantly. “Why?” “Oh, Duane horned in while were talking. At a place where asked her to meet me.” Kenendy looked sharply at Miss Cleo Pendleton. The small childish face was lit for a second with a sort of greedy joy. “Now that they’ve gone, I’d bet­ ter hold myself ready to follow up and see that it goes through. I’ll need money for that. How about let­ ting me have the other five grand now? Cash this time.” Cleo considered it, you the ten thousand you may turn over the “I couldn’t think of asking Kennedy bowed politely, thousand will be plenty. When job is complete I can come back the other five and trade it in the check.” Cleo could have killed him. “Very well. I will have it for you tomor­ row at noon.” The door closed on Kennedy. In the hall the new footman ap­ peared from a cross corridor and obligingly let Kennedy out. They ex­ changed a word or two and the door closed. Keenedy paused for a second on the steps. “There’s something phoney about that bird,” he reflectd .“He was out of breath. I’ll drift, as soon as I get the five grand.” He got it the next day. Inside of an hour he had sent in his notice, lectived his wages and was on his way to the station. A few days later Kennedy’s eyes picked up an item in the paper. “Mr. and next Friday coast.” Kennedy's came, later. your work -defiant in iher own loneli- Barry came in rations for New Orleans, where he, had no intention of going. Then by car and plane and modest day coach he shook off his exasperated shadow and zig-zagged his way to Marston. The Junction’s best hostelry was the railroad hotel. Kennedy register­ ed as Frederick James, acquired a slight but convincing cough to ac­ count for his aimless presence, and a battered old car. He might have been interested if he had known of Gage’s absence from town. This time Paula had I been left behind in their huge hotel apartment. Nevertheless she poured at the thought .of having to go to some desolate ranch in a Tough mountain valley. iShe had just received a tele­ gram from (John, too, saying that he would have to join her in Chicago, ibut had made all arrangements for her by wire. Paula was feeling just a little sorry for herself. Miss Cleo Pendle­ ton could not have chosen ,a, better moment to ask for Mrs. John Gage. A few days later, iwihen Gage boarded his -own car in Chicago, his first glimpse was of a head o>f snug shining gold, very much at home in one of' his chairs. In the privacy of a stateroom he perked an expressive thumb and said “How c-ome?” “You don’t mind, John do you? She is a friend of this Mrs. Duane's and she told me that Mrs. Duane’s I had been asking her to come out! and visit them. I thought it would be I !' nice to have somebody along, and she’s frightfully amusing.” “Oh, yes . . . yes, honey, it’s all right. Old Ambrose’s girl, is she? How did she know we were headed for Duane’s place? “Why, I don’t know. She just seemed to know it. You’re not angry, are you? I did want somebody with me, and I had to start all alone!” “There, there!” He smoothed hose-leaf cheek and kissed her. (Continued next week) GREENWAY (Crowded out last week) Mrs. Ed.

If he stayed he’d be sweeping her into his arms and pleading wih her. He jerked the door open and went out without a backward glance. Afer the door had closed Anne still stood there sick at heart. Bar­ ry expected her to stay, but Jim Kennedy had said that she must go. Just for a little, lying back vith closed eyes, she wondered what what would happen if she defied Jim's orders—if she stayed, and let John Gage meet he? -here.

It was Bertha, with a message. “Mr. Barry sent me u-p to pack for you. He says he’s called back to Marston, and can you be ready to leave tomorrow morning on the seven-forty-three? He’s just ’phoned for reservations.” A filmy garment dropped/ from Anne's fingers. “The seven-forty- three,” she repeated blankly.

She sat up suddenly. Nancy and Barry had gone West. The Gages were going West, ostensibly to the Coast, but Marston was on the way. Jim Ken­ nedy, if he kept his word, was going West also. “I don’t suppose there can be any­ thing in it.” she thought. “But Barry knows the Gages and he had been trying for years to get John Gage interested in that old valley. It’s queer, I wish I had a decent excuse to follow them.” Anne was discovering that not even the beloved Perch could ban­ ish a tormenting devil of jealousy and suspicion. Things grew worse ir.isead of -better. As a slow week dragged by, each day held less hope of reconciliation. Ling's bland face never betrayed anything.

Martha had closed the house at Trail’s End only a, before their return. It was quiet and peaceful, but it was lonely. Some­ times she wished bitterly that she had never seen Barry Duane. She rode Comet often, but always alone. She saw Barry in the distance one day, sitting Captain at a jutting point in the trail. Comet whicker­ ed a shrill greeting and Captain re­ plied, but Barry merely turned his head, raised his hat and turned back. Anne’s face stung heat. She’s rather of the house than child in disgrace. She went back to ness and presently saying little. She was dropping her small efforts at cheerfulness now. She must have it out with him and end this,'one way or another. “Are you busy Barry?” “No.” He put down the book was reading. “Don’t you think it is time came to a different understanding, Barry? You knew we can’t go this way.” “I agree with you entirely. I ready, and have been, whenever want to do your part.” Her eyes closed for a moment. “But I have told you that there are things that I cannot explain, with­ out—without involving other people. I’ve promised—you shouldn’t ask me to break that.” “Most escapades do involve other people,” he ret-orted. “I’ve done rash things, I know, but nothing that I am ashamed of. Won’t you believe hat?

I won’t stay in your house like this.” He was on his feet n.orw, tramping impatiently up and down. “How can you expect me to accept a situation like that blindly?” He stopped in front of her caught her arm in a close grip. “Don’t you know that I’d give up everything I have on earth to hear you say something which. would set this hideous thing right? To have you back as you used to be—and to be able to take my wife among my 'friends -without—” If he only hadn’t said that, about his friends! Anne shivered. “I’ve told you all I can.” She swayed a little, 'stiffened and stared at him bitterly. “As for your friends, they needn’t matter so much now. Marston is a long way from Granleigh. Tell them I’m dead, if you want to. That’s quite respectable, isn’t it. The best people do it, Barry.” “You’re talking ridiculously! What do you mean?” “Oh, nothing. I’m not gong to com­ mit suicide. Not because my hus­ band refuses to believe that I’m de­ cent.” She walked slowly toward the door, pausing to look back. “I’m go­ ing—back to Trail’s End. Good-bye.” “You can’t go now,” he said sharply. “The Gages are coming. They will be here next Tuesday. She stared at him in a shocked sort of way, and said “Oh!” half un­ der her hreatih. “I’m sorry,” she added hurriedly. “But you see, I shall not be here.” In spite -of all that had passed he could scarcely credit his ears. “I sjuppose,” he said in a voice, “that you understand this visit means to me? our personal differences they expect a hostess.” “I’m sorry, Barry. Truly, I am.” Her eyes were desperate. “But I can­ not stay. I—i” “Don’t trouble to apologize. I’m not a jailer, to keep you here against your will. But if you l^ave me now I’m through. Don’t ever try to 'come back again.” She put her hand to her throat. “I understand. I shan’t come back Barry, Good-bye.” “Good-bye,” he said curtly. He iwos cruel with anger and saveagely hurt.’" He heard the door close softly and light footsteps that died. Silence af­ ter that. Empty silence. tight what Whatever may be, Many miles to the East a number of .mall things had happened. The new footman had left after less than a week of service, a cir­ cumstance which vaguely disturbed the colorless Mrs. Pendleton. Cleo looked contentedly at her own image in a long mirror and decided to trive a call on Mrs. John Gage. At the Gage offices Winston ed to make a personal report and found that Gage had been called away. A secretary admitted that Mr. Gage yas due to start shortly on a trip West. Winston kept his ver­ ba] dynamite stored in his own cau­ tions head. In his comfortable hotel Kennedy was studying plump time-tables and discovering possibilities.
