"Well, more than half of the es- tate is my own. You know I've made money. Hanging onto this house has paid. You know the offer.

"But I have a statement from Jules, old Jules, the butler, discharg- ed by Miss Lambert, or resigned, I odn't know which. He's now propri- etor of the Club Daffodil. How about that? You've read it?" "My dear Mr. Hetherington, it may simply be an attempt to get back at Miss Lambert. Don't believe everything you find out." "Well, there's a big story there." "My dear sir, this city is full of big stories, stories so big the novelists can't open their jaws wide enough to bite them." * * "Josephine. We might as well face Iver. Breen has left the Engineers' Club, He is going to the Public Lib- rary." It was an important call, ar- ranged for her by Judge Kelly. Jo- sephine Lambert motored down Park Avenue, it was surer. She left her car at the Grand Central and walk- ed over to Fifth Avenue. Forthe longest kind of time she waited. Would he leave by the side door on Forty-second Street? She swore un- der her breath, rather competently. and she would have like to light a cigarette, as many men did but the stupid city had yet to advance a few more stages before women could be entirely at home on the streets. It was mid-afternoon. John had lunched leisurely, and had consulted the files of the papers back in 1909. He used the Times Index, and was rewarded by several references to Almon Strauss. He was ,piecing to- gether information for his o1vn use. Strauss was immensely wealthy, al- most a complete mystery, as to fact, a nebulous theory, as to report. Since the talk with Almon Strauss, John came to realize more and more the utter futility of merely planning. No one can tell the city what to do. It does things, and offers no excuses As John walked down from the Li- brary, across the broad steps, Jose- phine saw him at once. He went southward along the Avenue, stroll- ]'Nl'.Calvlll S 1 cltr,�, . 1i ;1.4. "There she was, before him. There they stood." Josephine Lambert had many things to think about. What a difficult boy John was. Of course he was differ- ent, essentially a gentleman, and she, in a measure, knew why he was so reluctant to pay active court to her. But she knew he was impressionable, romantic, fervent, and she knew he was lost, lost in the interminable maze surrounding them. The whole bulking, swelling body of the town was choking her, it was literally choking her with money and disgust. Two weeks before Osman Snow, al- ias Sknowvitzky, had paid, in cash, a sum so staggering she hardly be- lieved her eyes. Quite cleverly (she had acted unintentionally) her reluc- tance to part with the old Van Horn house had resulted in many, many thousands of additional dollars. In another month, however, she would have to move out. Another month. Two weeks of the last month had gone by. She had not seen John Breen. Judge Kelly arranged to in- form her of his whereabouts. The old judge was as excited, as a harpoon- er. Another week went by. Already Josephine was feeling the necessity of packing. Of course it could be done quickly, and many things could simply be left to the auctioneers. caught her eye.. "Almon Strauss De- finitely Abandons Bureau of ' City Plan." There was not much else; She wondered what John was so upset about. His ,jaunty step was gone. He had tossed the paper iatto a can and it was immediately retrieved by a burn. Josephine dropped her ' head. behind a low rail, on the half-dead grass. "'Ile city is always being abandoned," she remarked thought- fully. Soon slie would abandon it herself. She smiled at the thought. Josephine was a good stout walk- er, the air was cool, it was getting a bit dusky. John was on Third Av- enue, and strolled along. He 'hardly knew where he was going. So Al- mon Strauss was quitting. Well, he was quitting too. The London crowd had cabled him only a few clays be- fore. All Ile had to do was say "yes." Five years' work at least, in Man- churia. He felt better, even in his lonesomeness. At Ninth Street, he walked East' to St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwerie, and then he was near the site of the old Cafe Boulevard.. "Oh, John!" Josephine called to him. She was running toward him. "I saw you a block away. I was go- ing home. Where in the name of common sense have you been?" There she was, before him, There they 'stood. The whole neighborhood had changed, since—since—well, it was no use talking. He was glad to see her, doubly glad. It was all so sudden and unexpected. Only the day before Judge Kelly had met at luncheon,' and had suggested he owed her a call, at least. "A woman, John, a good woman." Night was stealing over the city, chill night. The rackety old East Side L rattled away. Strangers were passing. Mean streets are doubly mean in cold weather. It was six o'clock. They turned west, toward the subway. "I usually leave my car, when I'm down, here." She told the plain truth, but not much' of it. They were near the As- tor Place station. "You must come home with me, John, you look tired. Do." 'Thanks, Josephine, if you will have me. I was about to suggest din- ner somewhere." "We'll dine at home, just you and nte. Oh, I am so glad to see you, John." He changed a coin, they were clapped through the turnstile. A crowd covered the platform. They were wedged together. "I have been wondering, just now, what is to become of us—you and men?" She looked up at him, her • long lashes dropped. She was young, so very young, it seemed. They were crushed into a train, he tried to shield her, his arm over her shoulder again a column: Her presence was grateful, comforting, as if he had always been with her, as if she was, well, was what a wife should be, safe, reassuring, lovable. At Fourteenth Street the greater part of the crush squeezed out, at- tempting to enter an express and save two minutes. Conversation on the train was im- possible, a few seats were available. Josephine, who never used the sub- way ,sat very close to John, shoved against him by a man in foul over- alls, a than with an evil -smelling pa- per hanger's kit between his knees. The East Side tube, carrying the re- turning denizens of upper Harlem and the Bronx, the black and white, the drab and gray, rocked and shunt- ed, stopped and started wnth jerks, and pounded on flat wheels and with screaming brakes. A song was rever- berating through Josephine, "I've got him at last! I've got him at last!" They walked across narrow Fifty- ninth Street. John thought how sig- nificant numbers are in the great city. Fifty-nine. Men at fifty-nine are old, at least so it seemed to John. They walked rip Madison Avenue and turned into the familiar cross- town street. High buildings hedged in the Van Horn home. The Japan- ese butler opened the door, * * * • "I am not at home, `.Tashi." him that fine It'+ ing casually, swinging a cane, hard- ly looking at any one. Josephine crossed over and walked a short dis- tance behind him. She smiled grimly at the business. Several acquaintanc- es saw her, she bowed stiffly and dropped back. It was a deadly busi- ness. But John did look ,rather trine. He walked easily, he had an air about him. For the first time the humor of the situation dawned upon Josephine. She almost laughed, she was so certain of her ability; but he would have to pay her for this, pay her well, and, of course, he would clever know what he was making up for. John crossed thirty-fourth Street, hesitated a moment, as if about to enter the Waldorf, Josephine, on the north side of the street shuddered. Thank heaven entered that place. Of course she would have followed him, but the necessity was thankfully past. At Twenty-fifth Street he again stopped and read the iron valve top pc%vers, Catskill; .Water. Then he bought a paper, and, for a moment, seemed interested. He walked across into the park. Josephine also bought a paper. She was getting immensely wrought up in the chase.

IN CANADA "Yes, madam." Dinner wa sserved ip the dark din- ing room; John and Josephine hard- ly talked. She had changed her street gown in an incredibly short time. "You know I have no special maid now, John. Just the cook, Tashi, and a boy. Oh, I have changed." She blushed becomingly. "I dress myself, do my hair. See." She unwound, a thick coil, stretched it out at arm's length and wound it back in place. They were in the drawing room, she stood before a mirror. "I hope it's straight." She was in negligee of net with a coat of gold lace and cream. It was a dangerously feminine thing, filmy with ruffles and roses, easily crushed.

The bards should be-- thoroughly ethoroughly washed before meals, and common drinking and eating utensils. should be avoided. These simple .pre- cautions will help you to keep the germs which cause colds from gain- ing entrance to the body. Do not dose yourself with medi- cines. The body can be kept healthy by hygienic living. Drugs will not be required, nor can they take the• place of the reasonable care the body requires to keep it healthy and resis- tant to disease. It at any time you feel feverish or ill, or if the symptoms of a cold ap- pear, there is only one place for you to be—in bed. Beyond question, the best place for those who are suffer- ing from a respiratory infection, whether it be the common cold or influenza, is bed. Have enough bed- clothes to keep you warm, and open the window to keep the air of le - room cool and in gentle motion. There is no drug or other remedy which acts as a specific cure for a cold. No medicine should be taken excepting what is ordered by your doctor. Drink a great deal of fluid, such as water, milk, fruit juices and clear soups. If you remain in bed until you ful- ly recover, you are taking the one practical measure to prevent pneu- monia or other serious complications. There is danger in getting out of bed too soon. The fact that many careless persons recover from colds, does not alter the fact that it is- among samong these same careless people that most of the pneumonia develops.. Avoid • colds, but if you contract one, go to bed. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical 'As- sociation, 184 College St, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. COLDS AND PNEUMONIA We are entering the season of the year when colds are most prevalent. Colds, if neglected, may result in the serious condition called pneumonia. It is well to consider what we may do to guard against colds, and, if we do contract them, bow to prevent serious consequences. In order to guard against colds, we should look after our general health. This means an adequate am- ount of sleep in a bedroom, the win- dow of which is open wide enough to keep the air cool and in gentle motion, It also implies eating a good, mixed diet, but not overeating, and drinking plenty of water. Sufficient clothing should be worn to protect the body from chilling and to keep it dry. Overclothing does more harm than insufficient clothing as it causes excessive perspiration, and, later on, chilling. Out of door clothing should be removed indoors, as' it is too warm for the indoor tem- perature. • Unless he removes his outer clothing the person is apt to become chilled when he goes out agaiai.
