“I’ll fight for him!” she thought

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. Full size box 50c.

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

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

she’s frightfully amusing.”
“Oh, yes . . . yes, honey, it’s all

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,

“There, there!” He smoothed

more than just coincidence. “I don’t
see how there could be anything in
it.” he reflected, “but it wouldn’t
hurt to be on hand.”
Cleo saw the same item. 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.”
