There were but few people in the train, so that when I had recovered my poise after Dr. Pettit's discon certing farewell, I selected a rear seat where I was sure of being safe from observation. There, camou flaging the answers I had jotted down from Mrs. Ticer's dictation in the pages of the magazine Dr. Pet tit's courtesy had provided for me, I pored over them carefully until I was certain that I had memorized them perfectly. It was but the work of a few seconds to tear the paper into tiny pieces and to scat ter them unobtrusively from the cpen window by which I was read ing. Assured that the task was safely accomplished, I resorted to the habit I have carefully cultivated for years, and thrust the whole affair of the questions concerning Jake Wilsey into a tiny compartment of my brain and turned the key in the lock. Then I buried myself in the magazine Dr. Pettit had bought for me, a favorite publication of mine. I knew that I had done all that Lillian had asked for me and guessed that the information Mrs. Ticer had given me would be wel come to my friend. There was no use wasting time or worry upon either the man or the Stockbridgc case, with which he was connected. But the problem of Lillian herself was another matter. Her face with the lines of suffering so far faintly etched upon its composed mask, but palpably growing deeper, haunted me. I had noticed recently that she was thinner than she had ever been, and her eyes were beginning to lose something of the indomitable spirit which had always looked out from them. From numberless little stray instances I was sure that one con stant haunting terror beset her, the obesessing fear of Harry Under wood's re-entrance into the life he had made such long-drawn-out mis ery for her. What Madge Wondered. A fiery zealot in her patriotism, her husband's bravery in the serv ice had wiped out for her all re sentment for her own wrongs, or for the man's former crimes against his country, and Dicky, his best friend. I had known of her Uuix otic determination to crush her own happiness and that of Robert Sa varin. because of Harry Under wood's real or fancied Heed of her, at the time she made it. I guessed that in following it out she had sent Robert Savarin away from her, as soon as he sufficiently recovered from the terrible illness incurred for his search for Harry Under wood to be able to accompany his sister. Mrs. Cosgrove, to their mountain home. And now Harry Underwood bad come back, and I alone, of all his old circle, held the knowledge of his return. The glimpse I had caught of Lillian s anguished terror when she suspected for a fleeting moment that she had seen him, her relief when she decided that she had made a mistake, were fresh in my mem ory. They had decided me to keep the conditional promise I had made Harry Underwood to let his pres ence in America remain a secret for a time. I wondered a little fearfully if Robert Savarin in his lonely moun tain home had physically felt the menacing presence of Harry Un derwood near the lady of his heart, and if this subconscious influence were back of his proposed visit to us. The next instant I had laughed at myself with prosaic scorn at my own folly, assuring myself that Rob ert Savarin had reasons enough for his trip in his desire to see Lillian and arrange for the sale of his pic tures, without my imputing a touch of the occult to his journey. Dicky Observes. That Lillian for the first time in her life doubted her own strength of renunciation I knew from her words and manner when I first told her of Robert Savarin s projected visit. As I remembered the whiteness of her lips and her anguished eyes, I re newed the vow I had made that if I could comoass it. Robert Savarin should have another chance to ptead his case with her. He has always seemed to me to need an advocate, this gentle recluse, with IS years of mental blankness behind him, and his apparently hopeless love for Lil lian completely filling his heart and brain. But it was a new Robert Savarin whom I met a few days later, when Dicky, after telephoning from the city that the artist had arrived, brought him out on the train which reaches Marvin a half-hour before our dinner time. "What d'ye know about the old dear?" Dicky demanded of me, when after he had ushered the artist into our home with the air of reverential admiration he always employs to ward the man he regards as a mas ter, he had conducted him to his room to rest for a little before din ner. "Isn't he the chipper old party, though? I hardly knew him when he stepped from the train, he swung off like a 2-year-old. Old Lil would better look out. She's always looked a lot younger than he, but if he keeps on at this rate people'll take them for mother and sin." I laughed at his nonsense, as he Practical Service To Children by Day Nursery ' For the 23 days in March when the day nursery was open, 188 chil dren were cared for, according to Mrs. William Archibald Smith, chairman of the nursery, National League for Women's Service. One child requiring an operation was taken to the hospital, where surgical attention was secured without fee to the mother. Another child is under the observation of a prominent ocu list, whose services were given with out charge. Dr. Kathleen Sullivan O'Connor visits the nursery, giving her services without fee to the chil dren. Dr. Edwards of the city health department inspected the nursery in March. Mrs. E. S. Westbrook, head of the National League Motor corps, re ports 10 patients taken to dispen series in March for the Society for the Relief of the Disabled by the following members of the motor corps: Mrs. Glen Wharton, Mrs. John F. Murphy, Mrs. O. S. Good rich, Mrs, Frank Best, Mrs. B. H. Smith, Mrs. C. A. Swanson and the Misses Marion Weller and Goldie Pred.

HELPHAND CLOTHING CO. 314 North 16th Street t- i tr. had intended I should, but I watched Robert Savarin unob trusively when I next saw him, and my observation confirmed Dicky's. Something had changed him from a gentle invalid, crushed by Lillian's coldness, to a forceful man, looking 15 years younger than when I had last seen him. I felt with a sudden rush of relief that I would not have to arrange opportunities for Robert Savarin. He looked fully capable of fighting his own battles "to advance his lady's cause."

Attapulgus, Ga.,- Jan. 30, 1920. MY FATHER was bora Feb. 5, 1813, making him 106 years of age. He was a confederate soldier, fighting all through the Civil War. He also fought in the Indian War. His father and a man named Sharp settled this county. My father was born in this county and has never been away except to the war. When the Indians fought the Whites here, my father was cut on the head by an Indian, carrying now two big scars across his head. My father has his third set of teeth, and can still get around the yard in good weather. He had splendid health, till he began cutting this third set of teeth. While cutting these teeth I had to use with him a mild laxative, and I have never found anything better than Black-Draught. This I have used with him ever since I can remember. When I was a child my father used Black-Draught, on up lo now. That is what I use with him. I can recommend Black-Draught and glad ly do so. It was my.father's family medicine and I suppose it will be till he dies, as it is reliable, and I have never found anything that did him the same good when his stomach is deranged. For old people, Black-Draught will help the liver acting. (MISS) ELLA STRICKLAND. Lafayette Strickland, of Decatur County, (the old gentleman In the center of the picture) is be lieved to be the oldest man in Georgia. His exact age was not known until a few days ago, when his daughter came across the old family Bible, which had been mislaid. The record in the old volume gave the date of her father's birth as 1813. Some of the oldest men in his county say they recall that, when they were boys, Mr. Strickland was a gray-bearded man. Bainbridge, Ga., Post. IMPORTANT!
