We stayed there until Monday p.
M Fred parked the car and we started
over the mountains in a covered
wagon driven by Burt Hartness, the
man with a smile a yard long, and
after a while we came to the home
of Mr. Thos. Payne a grand old man
Baptist di

and body heat is produced by the
cumbustion in the body of the food
we eat. Violent cxerci.-es increases J
body heat because it increases combustion.
Wherever there is combustion
there must be a residue of ashes and
gas. If combustion takes place in
the body thi residue of waste material
must be taken up by the blood I
and climate from the body by way
of the lures, liver and kidneys. So
long as this combustion in the body!
does not take p!a?-e faster than the
blood clears away the waste products,
the individual foils no fatigue. but
} ist as <M?n as
clear away the waste products afast
as they are formed there is an
accumulation of this waste in the
muscles. This waste material then
acts as a poison or an "intoxication"
whit h irritates the nerves, causing a
peculiar and characteristic feeling,
not quite like rain, and which we call
fatigue. Fatigue i-^ nature's cry for
?v>t. As escaping stenti; from a hot
automobile radiator warns us that 1
the motor is running hot, so fatigue
is a warning signal that there is accumulating
in the system a surplus
of waste products.
W ; n all the available blood in the1
body t - being sent to carry fresh'
fuel ami clear away waste productthere
results a scarcity of Mood for'
the brain and this produces sleepiness.
Getting sleenly is nature's insistent
demand that the body needs
a period of rest in order to give the
blood lime to carry away the waste!
and repair the tissues.

I saw tla-.-.? in it < m that :? beginner,
like y.... wouldn't bo

"But both of these two pups here
are f.ne specimens. 11- ' li seem to have
poOd sense, to..; and e u! disposition*.
Either one \ ' ta.-i.e a ttico pet.
Itllt I V.zi'll !i> i
one ymi !ik.- host: and I want to knowwhy.
RiK>au>e there Is a difference
hot ween them that you can figure out
for yourself If vms think hard enough.
A difference that will make one of
them worth ten times as much to you
ns the other. Outwardly, they are
about the same. Hay around with
them for a while before you decide."
I'or the next ten annates the boy
played with both the imps. At least
he tried to play with both of them;
hut he succeeded in playlnc with onlyone.
One of the pups had rushed deHgbtod'y
up to Mark the moment it
was let out of the kennel yard.
It had frisked nhmit him. dancing
and jumping up; ?;>> had then played
in the sn. .e way about old Man Noglev
and the kennel man; galloping
hack to the hoy at his first summons
and continuing to jntmhoi with lilm.
It was a mo t demonstrative ami loving
puppy ; i ITusively eager to make
friends It woiihl rush to Mark at Tils
call and then would tear over to Xeglev
when the old man chirped to It.
The other pun was quite as gay and
playful. But If paid no heed at all to
Mark's blandishing calls nor to Old
Man Nog ley's chirpings. It played
with its furry brother and romped
wildly. It obeyed quickly and eagerly
when the kennelmnu spoke to it. But
when one of the others called It or!
tried to handle It. it would trot over |
to the kennelninn and stand close he-1
side him looking up Into his eyes, lov j
ingly; paying no heed to Mark or
Xogley.
There was no timidity In the pup's ,
behavior. There was nothing in it except
complete indifference to these
coaxing newcomers.
"You have entire care of these pups,
don't you?" asked Old Man Neglcy of
the kennelman.
"Yes," answered the kennetm-.n. '
grinning, for lie nnder>tond tlie- seem
ingly aimless drift of the questi- n
"I'm the only one who has handled
'em since they were weaned.**
In vain did Mark cajole this second
puppy to come at his cnll or to romp
with Min. Rat the first puppy was all
over him. making friends with glad .
/.est with him and with Xcgley and
with the kennelman. It was a most
adorable ami ndoriag pup.
At last Mark wont up to the kennelman
and said .
"Mr. Xegley tells nic one of the e
PltppIeS Will he Wort! tell t as
much to me. for a clium. as - it her
Is he?"
"Negiey's mistaken." \.r?? the

"Good!" cried i on i';ng_ "T.

"You don't mean to say I've guessed
wrong, do you?" lie demanded.
"It all depends on how generous you

"Of course I don't!" angrily denfe-n

Then." said Old Man Xeglej '
"you've picked out the wrong puppy;)

He's a one man doe In nature That's
all the rarer. For hi:n there - :n>h?nly

"Now Hint second puppy has no eyes j

"That's what I meant when I said i

[?I see," hesitated Mark. "I see. i
And I'll do as >ou say, Mr. NV-'!ey.
But, oh. it's so confusing to pick out ,
n good dog!"
"No." denied Old Man N- --ley. "It
isn't so confusing. For any decent ;

Only some dogs are belter. This one.
