Grandmother ' was sitting up in her big bed her sil ' very hair brushed smooth and drawn bark Into a neat little braid. "Dehorn h." ' "Yes. Grandmother?" "Do you not like these friends of Bryn's, my darling?" 3 Deborah looked up in surprise. "Why. yes. Yes. of course. I think they are I lovely. Sally Is sweet. She Is like a 1 talking doll. And she is very kind." "And Madeline?" "Nobody could help liking Madeline." " Deborah replied. "She's charming, isn't S she, Grandmother? I love to hear her s tulk. It's so slow and lazy. It's because she and Simon are from Texas, e Sally says. And Madeline is beautiful, Don't you think she's beautiful. Grandmother?" p "Not as beautiful as you are. my child." Grandmother answered fondly. t( "Put aho !a *? "? ... ...... ...... O..C ? ?* w silent again. Then, "If you like them. Deborah, and find them pleasant com puny, what Is it that has been trou- ^ bllng you ever since they arrived?" "Troubling me?" Deborah answered, startled. "But ... I am not tro Med "Oh. Deborah," Grandmother said reproachfully. Deborah raised her eyes, and there was a deep, happy smile in them. "I am happy, Grandmother darling." she said. "And you love IJryn? fie loves you. ot that I a in sure. But of your love for him . . . sometimes 1 am not so sure. You admire him? You think him strong and thoughtful and quick, and kind?" L"Yes. Grandmother." "You respect him? You are proud of whatever lie does?" "Yes. Grandmother." "And." she put her hand out gently and lifted Deborah's chin. "Why. you lire blushing, child! Surely that ought to he sufficient answer to my next question, but . must have your words Deborah. Forgive me. But .vou know your complete happiness means everything to me. Deborah, tell me; when you see him, and he smiles that twin kling smile of his, don't you want to go to him, and caress his cheek, as you are caressing mine, and put your hand on his hair, and touch his shoul der? Isn't that what you'd like to do. Deborah T* A Deborah caught her breath. Her 11 eyes darkened. Her lips quivered faintly. And then, "Yes, Grandmother," she said. "Of course," Grandmother said hap- w pily. "Well, then you love him. You couldn't help loving him. Go. my child. Kiss tne good-night, and leave me. I shall rest, tonight. 1 am happy." Out in the hall, safely away from the ,x door, Deborah stood and put both her n hands over her face. Her brain was ^ whirling. There war. a dreadful lump in her throat, and something ached in her ^ breast Alone in the darkness, she lv stood, trying to calm herself, trying to jj be cool and uncaring again. A voice spoke to her. It was Bryn. He was in the hall beside her. He was v wmspering, so as not to disturb Grand- i I mother. "Deborah." he was saying anxiously. "Deborah, what has happened?" Deborah did not answer. Instead, she dropped her hands and stared op S through the shadows at his face, lie ci drew a quick breath, then put liis arms ti our and held her close to him. His coat lwas rough under her cheek. "Deborah, sweetheart," he said brok- H enly, "what's happened to you? Why ri are you trembling?" w For only a second she lay there, and 11 then she lifted her head and pulled her- a self away. "Don't touch me." she said c< in a furious whisper. "Oh. don't you n dare to toucli me!" and she flew down the stairs and out to the others, sit- a ting talking In the welcome darkness P of the veranda. o ? f; r Deborah sat on the couch before the ? long balcony window in her own sit- v ting room. The afternoon was very hot. n Bryn and Tubby and Simon had gone {\ following the brook, looking for a pool to swim In. There was a knock at her door. P Deborah ran quick fingers over her s eyes. Her heart bumped. She scrum- & bled from the couch, preparing to dash v into her bedroom before calling out to 13 Bryn that ue might go through to his a own room. It was not Bryn. Sally's P voice floated plaintively through the k keyhole. "Deborah! May we come in?" I ' Deborah said limply, and then, | Th-? Cherokee See fmoon tain... \ es. of course. Sally. Please do.

Sally," she said shyly Sally flew up from her chair, flung ler urms around Deborah and kissec ler. "That was darling," she said 'Wasn't that darling. Madeline?" Madeline sighed. "Yes." she agreed But you don't need it. You've gof 5i:non. Y'ou don't have to suffer 1c silence and alone, as i do." Sally began to laugh. "You don't xnctly go around languishing, you now, idiot," she said. Madeline sighed. "Not outwardly, erhaps. But inwardly, I suffer." "Piffle," Sally answered. She turned ? Deborah. "Does she look as if she *ere suffering?" "Not exactly," Deborah said faintly. "She isn't, either.

Deborah, honestly now, don'l you think Tubby's a dear?" - Deborah was still staring at her - Now she gave a deep sigh and sank back against the couch. "Yes." she said. "Yes.

The four ol them, Sally and Simon and she and Bryn, had gone for a walk In the pine | woods up on the hill. At first she had walked beside Sally, but Sally had obviously wanted to be with Simon, and Deborah had dropped back and 1 walked with Bryn. He could see bow it was, that she wasn't thrusting herself upon him, that it was a matter of necessity, and he didn't seem to mind. As a matter of fact. Deborah said to herself, sitting on the veranda in the twilight, be had seemed to enjoy himself. lie bad climbed a steep overhanging little clilT once when she had soon si hrillinnf H?toi*.1I1b nn <n shadow, and had brought it down to her triumphantly. When he gave It to her their hands had touched, and he had stood for a moment looking down at her with a queer expression that made her heart turn over when she remembered. She had wanted to smile at him then, Deborah recalled, hut something had made her draw away hastily, and as she moved, his expression liad changed again, and he had begun to talk quickly. Deborah could not take her eyes from Krvn's. It seemed to her that in Ills there was a question that she had to answer. She gazed at him. so strong and line, sitting there against the pillar. A kind of tense look that was constantly in tiis face during these last few days began to relax. Then he put his hand out slowly and covered hers, lying beside her on the chair. No, 110," she said in a whisper, but she couldn't draw her hand away, and sin* didn't know what it was she meant. lie lifted her band gently until it was against his lips. Ids eyes were still on hers, gentle, compelling. Hut she was afraid; she drew her hand away swiftly and sprang trom her chair. "Isn't that . . . isn't that the car?" she said breathlessly. It was. Madeline and Tubby had been to town, and when Madeline came up to the veranda Bryn inquired about mail. "There was a letter for Tubby from Pilar," Madeline replied. Sally stopped dead. She looked up at Madeline in horror. "From Filar?" she repeated. ir. r\.i ? ? n mi is i uai i I'uuurau inquired. Sally and Madeline looked at each other. Then they both coughed together.

The records show tha not many years ago, the death rat< at birth and during the first yeai of life was about six in every twentj youngsters, and today, thanks t< more knowledge and care, tha death rate is not quite two ir tv enty.

However it is only to< true that even those who hav< reached middle age are not likely generally speaking, to be as stronf as the average, and have not with stood infections or other ailment! as well. If then the results of thes< infections or ailments are present and to these results overweight i: added, you can understand that th< heart may have so much \v o r 1 placed on it that its reservt strength is lessened. Drs. Harry L. Smith and Fred erick A. Willius, Mayo clinic, tel us in the Journal of the Iowa Med ical Society, that they believe thai the part played by overweight ir producing heart failure in most in stances consists in adding a burder tj that which the heart is at presen bearing due to some other diseast already present. The diseases like ly to bo present are high blooc pressure, hardening of the arteries and any heart disease already pres ent is distinctly more serious i overweight or excess fat is present In the opinion of Drs. Smith anc Willius it is onlv in rnre inctanrp. ! that the overweight of excess fa alone is the cause of the hear failure. While most physicians may be inclined to agree with the above statement there are a number ol cases of early failure, where, as far as the usual tests and examina tions show, no real heart disease was present. Drs. Smith and Willius studied the records of 136 obese (over weight) patients during life, and the ? results of the examination aftei d;ath (post mortem). Cases Are Grouped. These cases were divided intc four groups. Group 1, 52 cases revealed nc ueart Qisease otner man abnorma. amounts of fat about the heart Group 2 consisted of nine cases, four of which died of congestive heart failure. Ali nine showed sign; of heart failure and were con sidered direct results of overweight Group 3 comprised 50 patients t j all cases of overweight with higl . blood pressure. Group 4, cases ol obesity with different forms of hear) disease?hardening of arteries sup plying heart muscle, the severe form of goitre, partial closure oi heart valve?comprised 15 cases ' Gall stones were present in 37 pel | cent of the 136 cases. The above statements and figure! show that while overweight of fat may not be the first cause of hear) failure, nevertheless the overweight so weakens the power of the hear) that it is unable to do the work necessary to keep the individual alive and in fair health. It is tht , added burden, the last straw as il 1 were, to bring about the complete . failure of a heart that would be | able to carry on if excess fat were not present. ??WNU Service.
