From the day he received my lit-
tle bill for clameges Grabb, like tne
liifty rogue he is, endeavored to
avoid me. The trouble arese from
1116 criminal reeklesences. hacl
bought a bie,yele, and, in the quiet

zne with ;ionic degree of self -4043 -
teatime and I was proceeding fain-
.
eusly, when, like a wild, ra,nipage-
ow; bull, a motor -cycle dashed
round the cornot. to abruptly, end
my lesson.
'When, with difficulty, I extrieet-
ed myself -from the wrecked ma-
chine, I discovered that the re-
sponsible idiot was none other than
Grabb, His protestations of regret
were accompanied by grins. In the
pain and anger of the' moment I
said things. For months I had
strongly resented his attentions to
Mary Joy, who, I had reason to
believe, was not ayerse to my so -
tidy. For weeks I had been spoil -
me for a. fight with the interlop-
ing ase, and he heard some home

Ilse doctor's charge for attend-
ing to the sprained ankle and con -
tensions came to 7.50; repairs, to
bike and new suit, $10; total,
el17.50. I sent a bill for that
amount to Grabb by registered
post. Next morning I ;received it
book in an undamped envelope, for
which I paid five ceets. For sever-
al eubeequent days I endeavored
te meet Grabb, pattiout success.
Determined to teach him that I was
not to be played with, however, I'
went to his office.
"What, Count!" he said, with
his hand out. "This is a pleasure!
What can I do for youg"
"Count" is the • nickname be-
stowed on me by the dolts at his
kidney, presumably because I have
always taken a just pride in my
manners and appearance. •
"You can pay me eight pounds
and tuppence my humorous
friend!" I returned grimly, as I
planked down the little bill before
him.
"Oh, I thought, maybe you wish-
ed to include a second-hand bike in
our next sale!" he said, grinning.
He is the "Son" of Grabb, Son; er,

"You will oblige me by leaving

I said stiffly. "Mary Toy anti I

"You shall have the opportunity
to laugh after the verdict, my fun-

"Hold on, Bragg!" he shot out,
suddezdy serious. "You're going

As he epoke he scribbled a cheque
and threw ie towards me. I picked
it up, and, after ,examining it, af-
fixed a ,stamp to the account, and
receipted it.

FATAL 23RD DAY
NEW DISEASE THEORY OF ItRe
REROIAN SWOBODA,
Saye That Body le Subject to

to Death.
The Austrian Medical school has
a world-wide reputatioe, wide') at-
tracts many doctore to Vienna, s",)o
8tuclv after they ltave qualified
elsewhere. Anything, therefore,
wheel comes from there, deserves
respect, especially when it, is fath-
ered by a leading specialist like Dr.
Berman Swoboda.
• This eminent scientilst has formu-
lated a new theory of diseate in
two books, "The Critical Days of
Men," and "Periodicity in the Hu-
man Organism"—works which are
causing quite a sensation among
continental physiologists. • The
theory is emleodjecl in an epigram-
matic sentence. "We. do not die
because we are ill. We are ill be-
cause we are dying." , Briefly it is
this:
- . THE' CRITICAL DAYS.
The body has certain recauring
days when it.is wealc and. run down,
which are "critical days," and
which repeat theznselves at fixed
periods,in accordance with the law
of periodicity which. occurs through-
ont ' nature. Seel'. periods are
marked by ,headache, neuralgia, a
feeling of being "out of sorts," in-
eomnia and other minor ailments.
During such periods the body is pe-
culiarly liable to infection and con-
tagion, and may succumb to .dis-
eases which it could meet .witliceit
danger on its good days.
DreSweboda affirins a malt's cri-
tical' stage reours every 23 days.
The first, critical clay of a man's lihe
is his day of birth; and every twen-
ty:third day:thereafter is a, day of
weakness, functional disorganize -
tie; add, Babilete to disease. It is
on such critical days that people
suffer from inexPlicable•fits ,of. de-
pression; and that the majority of
suicides takes place; and•in old age
or tiering severe illness it is 'ueue
ally on e eriteeel day that larap
of life finally gime out. Goethe, for
instance; died on the critical day,
AA anyone can atm by figuring ott
the number of 23 'day ' periods be-
. tween his birth and death.

..• WINE OUT OF -TEN CASES.
A healthy man, of course, does
,
not stiffer on • every &Weal day,
and sometimes the derangement is
so slight.that the eubject doesenot
notice it. But in nine eases .eut of
ten whed people. complain of being
unwell and 'without.' cause, Ike ex-
planation is that they are at ene
of their critical periods. Minor
ailmentswhitt halm nothing to do
with emetic dieease.are nearle,all
experienced cid•ceitical days.
The syrtmtoms of a critical day
differ according to age, sec, and
character. It is rotted that male
babies often hare their first diges-
tive troubles exactly 23 clays 'after
birth, and thee if they then escape,
the trouble is 'likely to oecur on
• the .forty-six.th or sixty-ninth date

a multiple of the; fatal 23.- •
%Older. children tend ' to bite their
