"Well," Bryn admitted slowly, "no."
"No? No? But . .
"But we t?>ld her she could. I told
her. 1 !olworthy told her. Of course.
If she's ^one o(T and tried marrying
anyone else, he'd have been forced to
explain to her that on second reading
. . . and so on."
"So," Tubby said with the manner
/ it talkie villain.
"Well," Bryn said for the third time,
"what of ItV It gets her out of a Jam.
doesn't It?"
"And you pay over a million of your '
own dollars at the end of a year, and '
he gives you fifty thousand for your
services. Is that the way It works, no- '

"Oh, I don't know. I think we can

. . . well, the money means quite a 1
bit to her. If?when you meet her 1
you'll understand a little better. Tub."
"Humph," Tubby said.
They both stood up. Bryn looked
t his watch. Ten minutes past nine.
The grandfather clock choked, muttered,
cleared its throat and gasped
out that It was nine o'clock.
"Just the same." Tubby suld explosively.
shaking down his trouser leg,
"Just the same, a year Is too long. An
Ignorant, unsophisticated, dowdy backwoods
country girl, who's never been
anywhere or seen anything . . , milk
and water, na uninteresting . . . after
Pilar! ..."
"Sh!" Bryn aald quickly. He took
three steps toward the door at the
enu or tne long room. Tubby stood |
up, too. The door was opening.
A tall gentleman in black pushed
the door open and held It. behind him
came Mr. Ilolworthy, bis smile astonishingly
serene and content. For
years Mr. Hoi worthy had guarded
Bryn's Interests with the stern fidelity
of the dragon who guarded the
Golden Fleece; yet here he was, calm
nd undismayed, lending his arm and
his moral support to this menace to
Bryn's peace of mind, this girl who
could wreak the most dire havoc In
Bryn's affairs.
Tubby looked at the girl. He choked.
Bryn stood without moving.
She was finishing a remark to Mr.
Holworthy as she came through the
door on his arm. Tubby did not hear
the words, but he caught the melody
of her voice. It was like that of a
very young child, with an appealing
break In it; one thought of small birds
learning to sing, of hyacinths In spring
gardens, of silver hells at twilight.
She was s very small girl as she
stood hesitantly there. A very small
girl, and she was dressed In white.
Her skirt was so full that It stood
around her In a circle, and only the
Up of one tiny white slipper could be
seen below It. She held It off the
dusty carpet with the tips of careful
fingers. The bodice was slim and
pointed, and her waist could have been
spanned by a man's two hands. There
were little puffed sleeves below her

was low, and above It her throat was
creamy white and soft. She had pinned
rosebuds against It In front, after a
hasty, flushed look Into the mirror,
and they lay pink and fragrant against
her delicate rtesh. Around her neck
was a short strand of tiny pearls, and
from her ears hung little round pearl
dn?ps. She looked like a miniature
of one's grandmother, painted on her
wedding day.
And her face?
A small white oval face, without a
hint of color in the cheeks, but with
a pair of the softest, reddest lips In !
the world. They were the kind of j
lips which look like the hud of ? red 1
rose when they say "no" and there j
was something about the tirin little
round chin which suggested that she
might often say no." Kyes like purple
patisies, soft an I velvety and dark;
and as If eyes and lips and tiny hands
in white lace mittens were not enough,
her hair was of red gold, curling and

creaking Into a million misty tendrils
around her face.
Tubby looked at Bryn. lie drew a
ieep breath. "Noble Sir Galahad," he
said under his breath, and moved forward
to be presented.
Deborah was married and at home
again. It was less than a week since
Bhe had gone away from the mountain,
but it seemed a thousand years.
She was so much older, now. She knew
so much more than she had known a
week ago that her thoughts were like
the thoughts of a stranger; she looked
at her old life and everything that
had been in it with a stranger's eyes,
clear, wondering, critical.
They were at luncheon, she and
Grandmother and the man, seated at
the long table in the middle of the
vast shadowy dining room. The celling
was high and supported by dark
heavy oaken beams; at one end wn9
a great fireplace with a carved oak
mantelpiece and a stone hearth. The
western wall was pierced by a row of
No Rule for the Pronu
Word "Shoppe"
A commentator on the names of
things says, "Then, there are the 4tea
shoppes' (two syllables, please)." But
he does not make quite clear whether
he means two syllables in the full
title or two syllables In the one word
"shoppes," observes a writer In the
Boston Transcript.
Probably more persons say "shoppy"
than "shop" when they read aloud from
the signboards this Imitation of old
English spelling. But. from all we
learn, the word was pronounced "shop"
even in the ages of go-as-you-please
spelling, from King Alfred down tn
Queen Anne. The best evidence of
this Is that before 1600 we find one
writer (In 14'-M) using "shop." After
Elizabeth the spelling "chope." another
"schoop." another "shoop." After
Elizabeth the spelling slowly settled
down to "shop."
It Is dangerous to argue that there
Is no word In Kngllsh of corresponding
spelling?that Is. a ilnal "e" following
a double consonant?In which the "e"
takes the sound of Qnal "y," making an
additional. We do not, to be sure, call
a "giraffe" a "glraffy" nor a "quad,
rllle" a "quadrilly" nor a "programme"
a programmy" nor a "cigarette" a "clgaretty."
But these are not English
words. They have been lugged Into

Delmrah sat up and moved the sliver

across at Grandmother. Grandmother
was wearing her gray satin dress

more loosely than usual, and fluffed
out softly around her face, llcr eyes
were sparkling, alight, happy. There
was pink in her cheeks, and a thread
of it in her Hps. It was as if she had
come to life again, too. "An hour ago,
when they bad come up the weedgrown
drive, Grandmother iiad been
standing at the side door, dressed from
head to foot In the black she had worn
for so long, with one hand piessed to
her heart in the old familiar gesture,
and a look of fearful questioning In
her eyes. The man had stopped the

brown hair, and had made his brown
skin look very Clear and wholesome.
fS rand mother had looked Into his eye?
for a long time, a tense, silent, searching
look; and then she had drawn a
deep breath and put out her hand. She
had smiled back at him. a fluttering
relieved happy smile, and he had taken
both her little white hands in hi?
own. Oh, he WAS living up to his
bargain.
lie seemed to understand the situation
at a glance and decide what It
was he must do. It was perfect acting,
and Deborah knew that she
should have been grateful and appreciative,
but instead she was angry. Angry
because . . . well, because, watching
him with Grandmother, she had
realized suddenly that all the way up
from San Francisco he had been acting
with her, too, amusing her, making
her laugh, telling her Interesting
things, thinking of her comfort, because
it was part of the bargain. On
the trip she had forgotten the bargain,
the fact that he was going to be paid,
and paid well, as he had expressed It,
for giving their marriage the appearance
of a happy one, the appearance
of a real marriage between two toulit

Well, no matter; even If It was a
little disconcerting to keep remembering
what the true situation was. No
harm had been done. She had been
reserved through It all, and had not,
she assured herself, allowed herself to .
be anything but Impersonal with him. !
That was the note one must remember
to strike: Impersonality. Deborah

/ OR. JAM'iS W. BARTON
Distribution of Fat
NrATURE m^ant that we
should have a certain amount
of fat in and about the body. Inside.
the fat forms a cushion for
supporting organs, a partial covering
for the nerves; in the skin
fat helps regulate the body heat,
and forms cushions for important
nerves.
Thus, a certain amount of fat is a
sign of health, and only in rare instances
is fat accumulated during
illness. However, when too much
fat is formed inside and outside the
body, while still a sign of health, it
can gradually interfere with the
workings of the body?heart, liver,
kidneys?with the result that overweights
are considered poor risks
by life insurance companies, and
also in cases where a surgical operation
is found necessary.
Sometimes an individual who has
always been underweight, skinny,
suddenly begins to
put on weight, and
within the space of a
year or two has gone
1 from 125 pounds up
& I to "",r> Pounds. The
IL* ^ | explanation in some
li; I cases is change in ocm
cupation, a changed
M outlook of life, getting
into regular
ltoovp of living with
no desire for changes
~ . or advancement,
r. ar on stopping all forms of
athletics or exercises. In other
cases examined it would appear that
some glandular change has taken
place in the body whereby, despite
eating the same amount of food (or
perhaps eating less), a smaller
amount of food seems to be needed
for the work of the body, ond"more
is thus stored away as fat.
When this increase in fat occurs
within a short time, and over the entire
body, it is thought that it is
the thyroid gland in the neck that
is at fault in that it is not supplying
enough of its juice?thyroid juice?
to the blood. As this juice increases
the action of all the processes of the
body, increasing heat and burning
up foodstulTs, any lack of it means
that the processes will act more
slowly, there will be less heat, less
food burned and more stored as fat.
Consult Family Physician.
It is in these cases that overweights
are justified in consulting
their family physician regarding the
use of thyroid extract in their particular
cases. Under proper supervision
and with the proper dosage
excellent results are obtained in
these cases when the overweight is
definitely due to lack of thyroid
juice.
There is, however, another form
of overweight due to lack of gland
activity which, while interesting to
physicians, is embarrassing to those
afflicted. In this type of overweight
uic Miess weignt is in certain
places in the body and not in others,
which distinguishes it from the type
due to lack of thyroid juice. Thus
the excess fat is found across the
shoulders, breasts, abdomen, hips,
upper arms, and upper part of the
legs. The hands, wrists, forearms,
feet, ankles, and lower legs are
quite small and free from fat; in
fact these individuals are quite
proud of their ankles and legs. A
little gland?the pituitary?lying in
a groove at. the base of the brain?
is responsible for this overweight.
Now just as thyroid extract helps
the other form of overweight, so pituitary
extract obtained fro mthe pituitary
glands of animals will, under
proper supervision, help to lessen
the effects of thi3 lack of pituitary
juice, and actually prevent this excess
weight if given to very young
children.
Water and Weight
A world-famous athlete stopped
V,I- -tkl-t:- -
Iu? auiicui; activities ana gradually
accumulated a considerable amount
of excess weight. He took a little
exercise but finding that there wa3
no loss of weight, decided to go for
an hour's work in the gymnasium.
Sure enough as he weighed himself
Before exercise and after the
first day there was a loss of three to
four pounds. When he returned the
next day his weight was the same
as before the exercise of the first
day, but again he took off three to
four pounds by the exercise.
This failure to lose weight was
easily explained when it was found
that after the exercise, immediately
after returning home and during the
night (he kept a pitcher of water by
his bedside) he was in the habit ol
drinking from one to twa quarts oi
water?perhaps a gallon and a half
from six o'clock at night until six
o'clock the next morning.
