Things just couldn't possibly have worked outmore to Rowena's fancy, except for the persistent presence of Peter. And there was absolutely no hope of getting rid of him -he was too deeply mixed up in everything. To tell the truth, it was Peter's project in the first place. Rowena herself only got into it at the last minute in answer to an advertise- ment in, the morning paper. It was Peter who put the ad in. Peter was a commercial artist, one of those thrice unfortunates with a soul for art, a talent for paint and a need for more ready money. He spent his days painting trees, rocks and running brooks, dotted here and there with pretty girls, Algonquin anglers and Broadway golfers, as a background for the Rackruff Road- ster, 1931 model, comprising fully half the picture. It was Peter who conceived the ex- quisite idea of a Rackruff motor tour across country with the well-known artist, Peter Blande, at the wheel. He figured—and converted Mr. Rack, President, and Mr. Ruff, Secretary and Treasurer, to his figures—that it would be the pinnacle of publicity to conduct such a tour, with pauses at all points •of prime interest for him to paint a picture of the Rack - ruff roadster poised on the brink of a precipice, pulling its way pluckily out of a volcano, skidding securely off a racing glacier, or defying the sands of the desert. Peter said—and Messrs. Rack and Ruff agreed with him—it would be good business to take a copy -writer drawl, "that you had better look to fourwalls with .his stenographer. them over Yaitself. After all, ' no- body can visualize a lovely face and figure behind the wheel of a Rackruff roadster as you can, you know."' Mr. Rack thought that was a par- ticularly good idea. He called in Mr. Ruff to assist, allowing Peter also to sit by, and had the secretary usher them in, one at a time. And he and Mr. Ruff frowned aver them, and asked about their literary efforts, and noticed their eyes and ankles and complexions, jotting down indeciph- erable comments on their memoran- dum pads. The secretary, having some notion of dramatic sequence, saved Rowena. for the last, Rowena was so lovely that at first they would not believe she was a writer at all, and she had to show them a copy of her book and some of her signed stories in magazines. Rowena's hair was a curious chameleon shimmer of gold and bronze and brown. Her eyes were limpid pools of .light that swam now blue, now green, and in gentle moments softened to hazel. "I'm Rowena Rostand," she said, looking at them straightforwardly. "I am twenty-five years old. I have had one book published and it was so good that practically nobody read it. I worked on a newspaper for three years and I've had. -eleven stor- ies published in first-class magazines. And you may not think I am very good-looking, but lots of people do." Rackruff Motors, Inc., in the per- sons of Messrs. Rack and Ruff, thought so too. Even Peted nodded his approval. And so Rackruff Motors, 'Inc.,. bound. itself by written agreement to finance a motor tour for a party con - 'm Rowena Roatand," she told them along in the car to feature the high lights of the trip and apply the pro- per adjectives both to landscape and. motor, in this way insuring a maxi- mum of newspaper publicity that would establish the new roadster on- ce and for all in the motor find of America. So Peter advertised for a copy r lane Must .ruff the that a she had -thi t. to 'clobeganin readthepapers."Awrite.success,ExpensesbeRostandwaswomenreadbreakfastbreakfasttip.giveninOhiowassalesrooms.mirror was obliged to admit fairly that spite of the little thinning of her face, in spite of the dark circles withwhich anxiety ' had shadowed her eyes,she was still un- deniably good-looking. Her black and white ensemble was freshly sponged and pressed—Ro- wena herself haden to,. that—her ruffled white blouse was ` smart in Ah'fi5tli .. F'. 1 sisting solely of a beautiful young writer twenty-five years old and a commercial artist of thirty years and the opposite sex. Rowena and Peter were called in for a conference early the next day, and Mr. Rack, ably seconded by Mr. Ruff, put it up to theni squarely. Somebody had blundered, everybody had blundered, if it came to that. An insurmountable difficulty had been encountered. "There are no insurmountable dif- ficulties," Rowena said sweetly. The whole enterprise was dead- locked, plans were checkmated, con- tracts were canceled. The way Mr. Rack put it, with the full accord of Mr. Ruff, it seeined pretty hopeless. Peter quite wilted under the deadly finality of it all. "Unless," he suggested tentatively, "we advertise again and get 'an older author, maybe a married one—I sup- pose a little less good-looking would be better under the cirouinstances would attract less attention." "But you signed ane," protested Rowena quickly, "If you try to put any ane else in my place, I'll get out. an injunction and tie up everything." Rowena's eyes at that moment were a clear, cold, business blue. Not one of them doubted for a moment that she would do just as. she threat - Mr, Mr, `hack threw out his hands des- pairingly. "Well, it's off, that's all.," he declared. And Mr. Ruff nodded his head. Peter seemed cowed into acquies- cence. Iiut Rowena was never one to be eowed into acquiescence. She laughed brightly, "Why, my dears," she said, 9t doesn't make the least bit of differ- ence. This is a business trip" I am a professional writer. Mr. Blande is a professional artist. We are thrown together in a purely business capac- ity, and our ages and sexes have no- thing :whatsoever to do with it. No- body thinks anything of a man spending eight hours a day locked in. Certainly an author and an artist rid- ing the public highways in an open car are far safer." Unfortunately for Rowena, how- ever, Messrs. Rack and Ruff contin- ued to object, Even Peter did. They made all due allowance for Rowena's purity of purpose and nobility of na- ture, but Rackruff Motors, Inc., said Mr, Rack, stood firm for the conven- tions. "Of course, if you feel like that," Rowena said cheerfully, "Mr. Blande and I will be guided entirely by your wishes. We will have to get a chap- eron; that's all." "We wouldn't .care about paying the expenses of a third party," said Mr. Ruff quickly.—Mr. Ruff was the Treasurer of the Company. "It will not be necessary," said Rowena. "We will take a lady with us who will be glad to make the tour for her transportation, paying her own living expenses en route." "Can you fin& such a person?" ask- ed Mr. Rack. "Certainly," said Rowena brightly. "Leave everything to me." "What are you' going to do?" ask- ed Peter. ' "The same thing you did. Adver- tise!" dver-tise!" So they went down the street to the nearest Childs' and figured out an advertisement that seemed to suit their purpose. "Wanted: Young woman to serve as companion on extensive motor tour of the United States. Trans- portation provided, but must pay own living expenses," Peter wanted to put in something about a pleasant disposition being an asset, but Rowena said it would' be useless—said all women thought they had good dispositions. "You*advertised for a good-looking` author, didn't you? And did you see the mob that answered?—We'll have to trust her disposition to luck. Be- sides, she'll be in the rumble seat— we won't see much of her." They received a great many an- swers to the advertisement and Peter went down to her snug, one -room ap- artment to assist in snaking the sel- ection. , This proved not difficult, The letter chosen was written on plain creamy paper of very fine goal- it y, 'I am twenty-three years old, a college graduate, and can pay my owvn expenses unless you plan to,tra- ve1 on a very deluxe scale, I can Start at any time and stay .as long as you like. The only thing ,l•' am really interested in is to go—and go at 'once, I enclose references. The name was Roberta Lowell. The references were good, so' Ro- wena got the number on the tele- phone, with Peter standing interest- edly by, and talked to Roberta Low- ell. "She has a nice voice," she whis- pered to Peter. Miss Lowell said she could -start an Monday, morning, that she could get all of, her traveling equipment in one suitcase and a small traveling bag, and that ,she had an allowance of,4wenty-five dollars a week. "Wait a minute," Rowena put her hand over the transmitter. "She can spend ; twenty-five a 'week," she said to Peter. "Well, that ought to' be enough," said Peter. "Except for the car, I'rn hoping to get along on Tess." Miss Lowell said she would meet them, bag and baggage, at the Rack - ruff show -room at ten o'clock Mon- day 'morning' without fail, and she thought it was going to be great fun. "Oh, by, the way, Miss Lowell—" "Oh, please don't call ' me Miss Lowell. Call me Bobby. Everybody cats me Bobby, Miss Lowell is so stiff." "Well, by the way, Bobby 'Lowell," went on Rowena, "you'll have to ride in the rumble seat." "I don't care," wasthe brave re- tort, "I'd be willing to ride a cow- catcher to get out of New York and get out quick." Now Rowena did not like artists. She said they were so abstract. 'Ro- wena herself was extremely concrete. She felt, in her heart of hearts, that it was a shame that such a heavenly opportunity to go places, see things, meet people—and best of- all, make money doing it!—had to be all mess- ed up with an artist like Peter. Ev- en Rowena, however, could see' that she couldn't verywell get rid of him —not under the circumstances. If only she and the Roberta girl could go alone now—ah, there would be a travel tale worth the telling. And how they would photograph, the two. of then, in the snappy 1931 Rackruff roadster! The publicity they would get! Mindful that there would be pho- tographers to record their departure from the Raekruff Salesroom-- the Publicity Department was taking care of all. that!—Rowena < took extreme'. pains with her appearance .that: Mon- day morning, and that was an an - usual thing with Rowena. When she presented herself at the Rackruffshow-room at ten o'clock on Monday noshing, Messrs, Rack and Ruff had good reason to con- gratulate themselves on their choice of author. 'Photographers and re- porters were alike enchanted. A girl like 'that' now, swinging along the Rocky Mountains in a Rackruff road- ster—ah, there was publicity made to your order; And it was all Peter's idea, too. (Continued next week.) tealth Service O anabtatt J' I' r OF THE edtrat Asortriatiuxt Zditad•br GRANT FI.EMING, M.D. .N ASSOCIATE SSCRE'r ny BRIGHT'S DISEASE, Bright's disease is ' the popular name given to nephritis, or inflame - tion of the kidney. , Richard Bright, an English physician, published his observations on diseases of the kid- ney in 1872. His name• thus became associated with the disease which he was the first to describe clearly. The kidneys are vital organs; by this we mean that life cannot con- tinue if the kidneys cease to function. The function is to remove waste ma- terials which the body produces as a result of its activities. The waste ma- terials are picked up in the blood stream and carried to the kidneys. The normal kidney is able to remove the waste and keep the body healthy. The damaged or diseased kidney can- not do its work properly, and, as a result, the body is poisoned by .its own waste. Damage may be caused to the kid- ney in several ways. A not uncom- mon cause is overstrain from bad habits of living. If the kidneys are called upon to do more than they can, they simply break under the strain, just as do the other organs of the body when exposed to similar strain. Damage may result from the de- struction caused by toxins or poisons produced by germs living in the body and Which are carried in the blood- stream to the kidneys. This poisoning may occur inchild- hood during an attack of starlet fev- er, tonsilitis or any other germ -caus- ed disease. In all such diseases, whe- ther severe or mild, a certain am- ount of poison, is produced and cir- culated in the blood. This is one rea- son why, even in mild cases, the greatest care is necessary if the kid- neys are to be safeguarded. That as why the doctor keeps the child in bed when, to the parents, he appears to be well enough to be up. Another common cause of poison- ing is from diseased tonsils, teeth, bad sinuses or other parts of the body where there may be a focal in- fection, or nest of germs, pouring out its poison into the blood -stream. Nephritis may be anything from a severe acute infection to a very mild chronic condition. The milderforms are very often discovered by, acci- dent. A man applies for a position or for life insurance, and .the medical examination reveals kidney disease. Such a person is fortunate because he is warned in time and can, take the care and treatment necessary to pre- vent the development of the condition into something more serious. Prevention of nephritis begins with the prevention of communicable dis- eases in childhood, or their proper treatment if they occur; removal of any focal infection; avoidance of ex- cesses in food and drink; the use of sufficient ,water. • To these should be added the Per- iodic Health Examination, - once a year, by the family doctor, to detect the earliest signs of any abnormal condition in order that it may be pro- perly treated in its early stages. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will beanswered personally by letter.
