SIN' ER SEWING MACHINES Needles and Repairs Walker n Furniture a 1 Undertaking ;t THE WIN GHAM ADVANCE -TIMES 'SLI NOK BARRY Synopsis: Joyce Ashton, poor sten- ographer, suffered loss of memory in a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago. One morning two years later h woke, s. w k after a fall from her horse, , her memory restored, to find herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil Pachard, rich California fruit packer. She de- terniined to-. tell nobody of her pre- dicament but set about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleasure - loving young woman, One letter that troubled her was from a woman sign- ing herself as Sophie, blaming' Frills for not giving a home to a baby. Sophie was caring for. Could it be her baby, Frills wondered! She also found herself involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. In San Francisco, where she went 'while her husband was away on business, she met Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she, had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she decided to be pleasanterto Neil than Frills had been. But -this line was dangerous, too for Neil was pathetically anxious toin back Frills love. At hisre- quest quest they call upon Neil's mother, whom Joyce finds adorable. Later, she met the poet, Robert Ainsworth, and several times stopped for lunch. at his cabin when she was horseback., riding, One day he started to make love " to her. Later, Joyce and Neil; out riding, . are come upon by Ains- worth. Cornered, Joyce makes, full confession—her loss of memory and its restoration. When Neil accuses Joyce and Ainsworth of being ` in love, Ainsworth makes a "graceless" exit, leaving Joyce to explain. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "That's true all right, and you had me guessing too. But • of course Frills wasn't -wild and reckless when I married her—you—say, I - don't know who I did marry!" "That's what -I've got to find out, "The Turners' were lively, enter- tains lot plenty a , p city of money and all that, and. as soon as you were well. they introduced you around to their s f ien -.e friends. You made vex Y one, and that tickled thein. My cou- sin, Lawton Packard's wife was a great friend of Maisie, and I'd met her and Joe a number of times' in Manzanita, and they'd always told me to look them up if I was ever in Chicago. It struck me to do it one time; I called them up and Joe in- vited me' out to dinner that night, throwing out a lot -of dark hints about a swell girl who was staying with them. I went, and it was you I• met—Florence Hilton; was the name. I took a terrible tumble, and in a couple of weeks we were engaged. "I kept stringing out the business in Chicago, and finally — I remem- ber now that' it was your own sug- gestion! we- were married right away, before we left town; and you. came back to Manzanita as Mrs. Neil Packard! Joyce had been held spellbound by Neil's recital. It was all sla queer and unreal, and she felt her head swimming by the strangeness of it. "Didn't you ask me anything about who I was, ' and all that, when you wanted to marry me? How did I act? Was I like the Frills I've heard about, or more like Joyce?" "Well, you see, every one treated you with kid gloves, so to speak, on account of this accident," said Neil. "It was understood that 'you'd had a great shock, and that you musn't be pressed. The doctor kept saying, just leave her alone and she'll come ar- ound all right. All this mystery was very exciting, ybu understand we all got a great kick out of it .... I remember I wanted': to ask you a lot of things when we were first engag ed, but you said to me, `Neil, you've got to trust me. There are some things I can't tell you, and you must- n't ask rne about -who I am and all that. There's nothing 'I'm ashamed of, and some .day I expect I'll tell Weil- It's been driving me nearly crazy, and now at last I've had the courage to tell the truth, as far as I know it. Will you tell me, Neil, how you met Frills and all that?" r,.. atMaisie Wh a and Mase Y, Joe of course! Don't you really remem- ber, Frills-er, I mean Joyce? Gosh, this gets my goat, I feel as tho we'd all gone absolutely nutty-" " thatwhen I firs Ifelta way yt woke up and 'found myself Mrs. Packard," she said gently, "but I've lived with the idea so long 'that I've gotten a bit used to it. Tell the about the Turners," "Why, it was their car that ran into your taxi in Chicago. Joe was running for some .political office at the time, and 'he was very anxious to keep out of the papers in any way that might bring him any unpleasant publicity, so he gave the police a tip, 1 suppose 'r and got them to allow you to be taken. to his house instead of to a hospital, You were uncon- scious for a couple of days, arid when Maisie Yeewb ' ke up you were in a dazed condition. I rememberMa s e sayi ng they thought you. never would say a word, and how queer it made them feel, baying some one lying there conscious, but just looking at the wails without saying anything." .'t "Fancy! That was me, and I don't remember any more about it than if it had never happened!' Joe and Maisie had a time find- ing out wlio yotx were, The doctor said just to leave you alone and you'd come around all right. And, sure en- fough, that was what happened, of what everybody thought had happen- ed, cd, y,u all there is to tell.' " A shade, pa' ted over Ned's' face, "1 alway thought you w;,ttld tell me, but you never did. Joyce watched %int, excitedly,- the strange story gaip,pee. them, so that realities were Seer, through a heze, 'O'h `Neil I think 1 see it ell e eve don't you? krill, just couldn : re member back! She was trying to re- member all the tent, and she could- tl't! It must have been awful for her, ix won't it? 'When did she change, weer, did she go reckless and wild?' "I guess tear come gradually," i;cil answered with. puckered brow, "I can't remember any special time it, began. First she tock to drinking ,` more than I Liked; that really wor- ried me a lot. Then it seemed as if she were almost trying to kill her- self! She drove her car at a break- neck speed, and got the wildest horse she could find to ride- And then there was Maitland. . .." o i. Joyce e ma de 'a quick movement, "Yes," she said softly,"don't go in- to that, Neil, I know; and I'll never forget it " "But but ._ J Y ceo r you are Frills!" It was Robert Ainsworth speaking, and Joyce and Neil turned 1? R'r to him with a start. In their absorb- ing rnterest ie. piecing together the mystery of Frills, they had almostst for3otterihe was there, "Would you mind telling me," -Neil • asked Joyce politely, "just -where he conies into this?' Joyce looked at Robert thought- fully, , The air of rather superior in- solence with which he had approach- ed them was gone now, and she Saw again the . Robert Ainsworth she knew. He met her gaze frankly, with disarming friendliness. "I'm sorry, Joyce," he, said, "I did not o understand. Will you for x ve ,, me? He came over and held out his. hand, smiling charmingly. He was. like a little boy who, having shown his temper unreasonably, makes ar- rogant claim . of a loving parent for pardon.. - "Who the devil are you, anyway?". asked Neil petulantly. "1 don't want to crab, Joyce, but wasn't it a bit thick, letting hinx hear all this?" •"Robert Ainsworth . is the great novelist, Neil. Haven't you ever heard of him?" Neil shook his head. "Never;' he said, : "What does he do besides write? And once more, how does he come into all this?" "He conies into this, Neil because I happened .to have met him since— since the acicdent an Fire Queen, and because I happenedto like him rather more than ordinarily." Neil fixed his gaze on a distant pine tree. "Do you mean " that you're in love with hire, Frills?" Instead of answering his question, Joyce said sharply, I wish you'd Y make up your mind whether you want to call me 'Joyce!' or -`Frills' Neil!" She regretted her ill temper at once, however, and went on more agreeably. "Oh, Neil, I don't know anything any more." "You are free, if you want to be, Joyce," said Neil, drawing his lips to- gether in the attitude of severe res- traint that he assumed when Frills had especially hurt him, "What about Ainsworth?" He turned to the oth- er man. "Did you and Frills fix this all up between you?" Before Robert could answer, Joyce broke in, "Oh, no, no, Neil, please,— I wasn't quite so beastly as all that. Nothing had been fixed up -we had simply, well, fallen in love, and there the matter stood." She looked at Robert .and evas hurt to find an am- used smile lingering about his eyes. Joyce felt a profound shame creep over her. Neil had just told her she was free, and yet Robert sat quietly, saying nothing, tensely digging holes in the soft ground with his riding crop. Her husband was, in a sense, offering her to her lover -who' was making no move to claim her. Was she being rejected by both ren? Her nerves, strung tautly under the strain of the entire morning, collapsed ut- terly, ' and she felt that she would grow hysterical if she sat there an- other moment. She sprang to her feet. "Well, now I've unmasked before both of you!" she cried, her voice trembling close to tears, "Goodbye!" Neil was after her in a moment. "Here, dear, rii go back with yeu "No, no, please dant. , Please leave me alone. For Heaven's sake, Neil. Let me be for just a'little while—"" He hile—""He fell back, struck by the vehe- mence of her . tone, and she sprang lightly in the saddle and galloped off. Once in her room, Joyce locked the door and flung herself down on a couch. She felt crushed and hurt as she had at no time since she had found herself Frills Packard. Her disillusionment about' Robert Ains- worth was so profound that she felt she had lost all faith in humanity. Every one seemed less noble, all life took on a menacing and ruthless form, Where could she go to find beauty, to find truth, to find "fine- ness, if not in this man whom she had 'so ardently worshipped? That he should have regarded the situation at first as one to be treated with cynical levity' was a fault that seemed to her greater than the grave. She did not , . . want , . Robert Ainsworth. ' * * * When she awoke it was a cool ev- ening, and she was shivering. As she collected her thoughts he noticed an envelope lying on the floor under her door. It contained "a note from Neil, and she read "Dear royce:y- When Ibac lr I found a mes- sage got sage to go and sce mother, She's not seriously ill, but feeling badly and wanted to see me. I shan't tell her anything about us, of course. We must talk everything over. I thou ht Y €" g it might be better if I'd camp out somewhere else tonight. Please go to bed and get a good rest. rill see tomorrow. o you Y n w Neil," Joyce read this over ee eral times, almost uncomprehending. At ; last, however,' . she kale ilia 'site 'must w tie' do. She knew she must go away -- that it 'was the only thing for her to do. "I've been wrong to stick it out this long," she thought, "No wonder I've gotten, things into such a mess!" It did her good to !lave same de- finite work to do. In less than ao. hour she had bathed, dressed, and packed two bags with Frills' simplest clothes and belongings: "It seems like stealing to be Tak- ing them," she thought worriedly, "yet what can I do? Neil doesn't want Frills' • clothes—they won't do him, any good if I leave them. Till have to find'sotne sort of workriglt away, and I can't apply for it unless I'm decently dre.s d. Of course I wont take any of .Frills jewelry or anything of real value. Roxie inee her at the foot'. of the 'stairs. "Excuse me, =aerie, but Mr. Neil he said you'd be waking up af- ter a time and we should have your dinner ready." "Very well, Roxie, just serve it quickly in the dining -room, please, And tell Sam I want.to speak to hixir." Once Joyce had decided to leave, she felt she could not go quickly en- ough. She could not endure looking about Neil Packard's • house, , and re- flecting that -she would probably ne- ver see it again. Her only salvation was in acting at once. She was grate- ful for the nonchalance with which Sam received her orders, and for the lack of deonstiation on the part of R:pxie. m (Continued Next.

And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these for- ty and five years. The righteous are indeed the long-lived, Inherited ten- dencies to disease being excepted, as thejaeciclents' ofklife, there is,,no doubt; that holiness is the best of all health preservers.

'The change from thestate of well- being and happiness which character- izes the nomal healthy child to the condition associated with summer di- arrhoea is comparatively abrupt and usually well -marked within forty- eight hours.After this time, unless proper treatment is given, the child grows progressively worse and, in many instances, the divase termin- ates fatally.'

' Summer diarrhoea is : responsible for one in five of all : the deaths that occur during the first year of life, and for one in seven of those occur- i'ng during the second year.

Where milk is not pasteurized and water supplies are inadequately safe- guarded, there is grave cause for con- cern. There is another -danger, as far as, this disease is'concerned, and that is in the contamination' of the child's food, either through careless handling on the part of the mother or through lackof protection, against flies. The majority of cases of summer diarrhoea occur during August and September, the month when fliesare. most. prevalent.. The house -fly breeds and lives on filth. There is no 'such. thing as a clean fly, just as there is no such thing as a clean garbage pile. It is difficult to conceive of a more effective agent for the distri- bution of disease germs thanthe or- dinary house -fly. The first line of • defenceagainst these ditsease, carriers is the elmina- tion of their breeding -places. Clean streets, clean yards and clean horde surroundings are absolutely necess- ary. Milk and. all food materials too should be protected. The best way to keep flies out of the home in' September is -to have no flies in June.

LATE BLIGHT AND ROT OF POTATOES T (Experimental Farms Note) Late bligltf . andtuber rot is the most widely distributed and econom- ically most destructive disease of the potato crop. Partly by destroying the plants before the crop has time to mature and partly . by rotting the potatoes, this disease is frequently responsible for a twenty-five per cent reduction in yield. The name late blight, is used for this disease to distinguish it'from the leaf disease known as early blight, and due to the fungus. Alternaria sol- ani. Early blight shows up early in the growing 'i ason as 'dry, brownish spots marked with several rings, The late blight appears on the leaves and stems later in the season and may be recognized in its early `stages as scattered spots, very dark in color, invariably be e. omi ng water soalcz;d in appearance. These spots spread caus- ing the destruction of the affected plants. Upon examination of file un- der surface of the, Ieeves there will he seen a greyish -white mildew that forms a delicate ring surrounding the blighted area, This is the fruiting stage of the fungus and iseonxposed of countless numbers of spores.
