I mean—I"wouldn't stand in your way." She know how much that had •cost him, how he hated the very thought of her living a life like that—and of los- ing her. "Thanks for that, Barry. I've been thinking about it, of course. It seems as though I'd never really finished anything that I began. I had a job in a little town, and then Paula went away, and I gave it up to follow her and get another in a big town, And I let that go for my first part m a new play, and after two years I left the stage to go to Hollywood -wand I ran away from that and bought a ranch. And then I tried being mar- ried for a while—just a very little while. If you don't mind, I think I'd like to stay around and make a good job of that," How is Nancy?" Something swooped.

I suppose they've made it up, and everything is all 'rosy again " ' "I think so." Barry was curt a- bout it, He could not discuss the Gages' affairs with Jim Kennedy. Barry wondered what Gage really thought of Paula. Gage was no dot- ing fool, but he loved his wife. Barry thanked God for Nancy, and swung' off for a walk. 2 e}3* had a- break." Martha hurried out, and paused on her way to the kitchen. "Barry, you might bring in some wood: I want good fires and plenty of hot water. She's all choked up." Barry made for the door. Gage was left alone with the man who had meant to blackmail his wife. Kennedy broke a stiff silence. "Listen!" he said abruptly. "I'll be laid up for a 'long time. I don't like you and you bate me. but I like to pay my debts, and this one won't wait. Pull up closer -I've got to talk fast'!_ The young doctor from the country seat said it was pneumonia. He spoke brisklyof health' and youth and vital- ity, but on the second day he asked some odd questions, and added a guarded remark about reduced- re- sistance and evidences of a long emo- tional strain. He agreed, after a brief hesitation, to stay with them for the first twenty-four hums, pro- vided some one would return to his office with 'a message., Petry almost lived in the gray car. News trickled into Marston, careful- ly edited. Late in that first day the rich vis- itor had come in 'with Petry, visibly tired and brief of speech, and tele- grams had smoked along the wires in some kind of code. Later a fast air- plane brought a secretary from some- where out of the East. A big new automobile appeared in an incredibly short time and went streaking out over, the Junipero.

Perhaps you'll tellk me that Kennedy was a detective tool It's too had that he was shot the same night that your wife's sister staged a front pare exit over that cliff!" "Maybe he was. But be a little more careful of your speech, please." "Young woman, you've been play- ing a risky game, and you've lost it. It was worse than risky, it was a dirty game, and if the story ever came out' you would be a long time living .it down. And if your father should get wind of i, and the, way you've let yourself' in for blackmail, he'd pack you off somewhere. Am- brose is pretty easy with you, but he has his limits." "I should think you could afford to talk about blackmail!" Cleo blazed at him. "I suppose you mean that you are going to hold your precious documents over my head to keep me from telling." "Call it anything you please. But get this idea firmly in your head this thing Is going to stop right here. You are going to keep quiet about the whole business. I haven't told Duane yet about your attempts to railroad his wife, but at the first indiscretion he is going to get the whole nasty atm. If I should die before you, the sealed papers will go to Nancy. Have I made myself close?" Gage had found the one weak spot in her hard little armor. Of all the people in the world, she could least endure to. have, Barry know what she had done to get him. At the door, he paused.

Barry had been sweet about it. Now the tumult had died, and life was their own again, Letters and. telegrams had beet pouring in and lay in drifts on the table and in her lap. And finally there was a letter from Mrs. Duane. It was addressed to Barry and it was restrained and frug- al of emotion, but Anne knew how difilcu}t those few careful sentences had An. "I'll do my share," Anne thought, and felt a twinge of pity. "She is Barry's mother. I'lldo all that she will let me." Aloud she said: "It was nice of your mother to release you from your promise aboutliving in Granleigh. I know it is hard for her.'But she'll be terribly proud of you. If you can get away, perhaps we could go back for a little while, maybe at Thankskiving or Christmas—if she would like it." "Why that sounds good to me." His eyes warmed. "With the salary that I'm to draw as president of the new company, we can make it a real party." I36s eyes went back to some tele- grams which lay open on the table. 3ie knew them by heart.

The Scouts- did some rapid work with their oars, and got back ,to the • schooner in safety, A Lecture on Cancer (Continued from page 1) In the campaign against cancer', many things must be considered, such I for example, as centres for treat- ment, delay in diagnosis, follow-up of cases, methods of prevention, and re- search. In most of the countries of North America and in Europe,' there are centres for cancer treatment With well-equipped staffs of pathologies,, physicists, physicians and surgeons, all trained to carry on their' work with the •closest cooperation. Cancer work has become team work. It' is no longer the work of the general practitioner; it has become a highly specialized branch of treatment, In every country there is a la- mentable complaint that most of; the cases of cancer come too late for effective results in treatment.. This situation is being met abroad -by well- trained campaigns of public educa- tion and by better training of m,edi- 'cal students and of those proposing to specialize in cancer work. Another matter of importance is the follow-up of cases, In every clin- ic an elaborate record of cases should be taken to keep in touch with pat- ients and to bring them back to the place of treatment at intervals for years until all possibility of the re- turn of the disease is past. In some countries the expense of transporta- tion is borne either by the govern- ment or by the local authorities. Prevention in cancer is as necea, sary as prevention in other diseases. Much can be done in this direction by education and by periodical examina- tion of persons after 35 years of age. During the last century medicine has won signal victories over many diseases. Most of the victories have been in connexion with germ -caused. diseases. Cancer is a disease of an- other category. Its actual cause is unknown and it levies a 10 nee cent. toll upon adult humanity, It is no respecter of persons. Never has the problem of the nature and cause of cancer been more widely and scien- tifically attacked than to -day. The surgeon and the radiologist are colia- borating with increasing success in its treatment, and throughout the whole world of cancer research there blows a new air of hope and expec- tancy. There seems to be little doubt that cancer is on the increase, but not to the extent to which statistics point. There are a few reasons why the to- tal increase is apparent. These are: (1) the better records of to -day. (2) The greater skill in diagnosis. (8) The increase in the number of people of the cancerous age. !(4) The better education of the public in preventive' medicine of :ally kinds, which enables the layman and woman to appreciate the earlier signs of the disease. With a continuance of, and a wide increase in public health, education, particularly among children' to -day, the future men and women will de- tect the early signs of cancer more readily and offer themselves to the doctor for earlier diagnosis and treat - With reference to the health edu- cation of children; one cannot expect ALL of them to be so apt as the one Dr. Jeseph Colt Bloodgood tells of. He was delivering a lecture on health, and wishing to make the point that parents were not aware how =eh their children were taught in the primary schools about the rules of health and preventive 'medicine, he selected a little girl about ten -years old, sitting in the front seat beside the Mayor, and asked her to stand up and tell the audience what she would do if she stepped on a rusty nail. She at once answered that she would wash her foot in soap and water, bathe the wound with alcohol, then go to the doctor and ask him to give her a dose of tetanus antitoxin. Now if Kipling were telling this story, he would tell it as a lie. There was tremendous applause, and Bloodgood was immensely gratified at the result of his experiment. . Speaking to the Mayor about the matter at a dinner next Clay, the latter said that the only) comment among the audience was that is was a "put up job." Speaking at Chicago recently, Dr. Bloodgood said: "A beautiful woman doesn't have cancer of the face. Why? Because with the first blemish -on her face she goes to a physicion. That is a valuable lesson for men to learn." "Women smoke, but they do not develop cancer of the mouth. The reason—they keep their teeth free of nicotine. That's another lesson (Continued on page 3) He who asks most gets most. There is no es- caping this truth. It is something like the tortoise and the hare. The race in business is not to the swft, nor to the clever, nor to 'the brilliant man, but to the man who is most diligent—to the man who keeps on doing his plain duty. You are a retailer. You want to get on. You want to swell each day's sales. Well, you will sell more each day if you ask! ask ask! buyers to buy your goods. You can hardly go round canvassing homes and buyers face to face. This practice would be too costly, though undoubtedly would be effective. But you can use newspaper, advertising; in this way you can do your asking for business. You are not required by the buying public to do smart advertis- ing. The public doesn't like smart or clever adver- tising. The public just Wants to be informed about what you have to 'sell; and if you will add reasons why the public should buy what you offer, then you will get more customers. The public wants informa- tion, and it won't object to a little urging. Spending money is for the most persons quite a serious busi- ness, and so they like retailers' advertisements to be pp lain straightforward statements of fact.
