as if the irony of jhstiee had de-

And Esther, to help support her

"Hes talking of going away—leav-

"Is he?" asked Esther, and Was

sCalne a rough night when the Wind
buffeted over the hilltops and sveent.

beat in paasionate gusts upon the win-

The howling of the wind and the
drumming of the rain Upon the 'win-

"Esther," he said. "Where's

"Gone out! Oone,down to the shop!"

They passed througheto the tiny

without the lest interest. But next
his hands began to chithh convulsively,
and .after that he began fo fill out his

He stood there staring, staring be-

"I can rernernber! can remember,

A moment later old Jacob returned

how it was with him.

Sleep Secrete.
What is probably a world's reeord
for continued waketainess was estab-
lished reCently by two experimenter
who remained awake for fivo (lags and
four nights -116 hours—In order to
study the effeits of long lack of Bleep
on the human bOdy.
Two aeslstante attended the astib-
jects of the test' to keep them awake.
Both of the experimenters were tested
periodically while they remained
awake and after they had begun to
make up their lest sleep. Blood pres-
sure, raspiration, the reflexes, and tem-
perature were some of the thinge test-
ed, and the, results of these observe.
tions have been summarized by Dr.
Kleliman as followei---
Sleep comes as a result of complete
muacular, relaxatioe. You ean help to
bring on Bleep by relaxing the mueclea,
you can ward it off by muscular Con-
traction. But after you reach your
