Michael Gregory Diana was watching him now wit a malevolent smile. ...."So you've let your friends down, she said. "How like a ........ a ma with no code and no standards." Michael thrust both hands in hi pockets suddenly, feeling he would This Name* Means Extra Fast Relief From Pain like to take her by the throat. They were not his friends, and she knew and all they had wanted from him was his money. Well, he had lost that if it was any consolation for her to know it. "I don't know what you mea said in a cold, level voice. "You came down here to escape arrest," she told him coolly, enjoying the start he gave. Arrest. He, Michael Borde Multi-Motors ...... arrest! What sense. Yet, as he reflected swift was not so much nonsense a might like to believe. He wa Trottenleigh's board. Then he laughed and flung back his head. "Well, I'm damned well going back to get arrested," he said. There he paused, and looked at her again. "You may as well know, Diana. I'm beggared," he said. "I don't suppose you'll believe me, but that won't matter. If I'd gone to Trottenleigh's meeting yesterday I n have prevented this. You got down here, at least your interference did," he gave a short, angry laugh, remembering that it was .indeed, through Diana he was here. "Tr tenleigh got the wind up evidently yesterday, I don't pretend to understand it all yet, but he's hac money to carry through his wildcat nonsense, and if the thing has gone bust I'm ruined, that's al Her brows narrowed, she looked at him, and what she saw t tired, middle-aged man, his common birth written over him, his broad, stubby hands withdrawn from his pockets were trembling. Diana Hamill-Hardy's lip curled. Her ancestors who had ridden at Crecy, who had stood beside Henry VII. on Bosworth Field, and who, with a later Henry, had been at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, had smiled at death, there had never been dishonor. All Michael Borde could boast was that he was a self-made man, and he had money. Like others of her race she had been a gamester and lost. She had loved the house of her birth; it stood to her for the only thing i: worth while. But if Michael Borde had lost his mi 3y, Werburge Lucy must go. Her es became a' slits as she watched him. After all, there had never been anything between them but knowledge of a bargain, and with deliberate slo she drew off the emerald ring on her engagement finger and laid this the table. "Well, I'll relieve you of any further responsibility," she said. "Lady Trottenleigh is terribly upset. I liev'e she blames you for this," here Diana smiled. It was a cruel thrust, and after she had walked out, Micaehl Borde found himself looking out at the long bor der where lilies and delphinium* blossomed, thinking bitterly of the tired-eyed old gentlewoman with Whom he had listened when nightingales sang, and who had talked to thim of her garden. So even she was ready to believe in his commonness. An Aspirin tablet starts disintegrating as soon as it touches moisture.

He'd go back and face the racket, clear up this mess, gosh, thered be a mess, too, but, and here Michael Borde clenched his hands he'd faced many a bad bit of business before and pulled through ........ Suddenly he sat down and covered his face. He was a younger man then, plenty of grit and vigor. Now.... oh, curse these late nights he .ha 1 had, the racket, he'd been through. The door opened again. It was Barton back with the sunshade. . "Mijss Hamill-Hardy couldn't wait. Barton. She was in a hurry," he said grimly. "Have my car sent round, please. I'm driving back to town at "Very good, sir," was the response, but the old man's face softened when outside the door. He, too, had read the morning papers, and in spite of his long service with the Hamill-Hardy's he liked Michael Borde. Michael picked up the ring, studied it, with a grim smile playing round his lips, then slipped it in his pocket. "Cost me a pretty penny. I may be glad of the money yet," he said to himself. "But at any rate, th.ere is Multi-Motors. They can't smash me there. It'll meau ......" but there a frightened look darted into his eyes as he remembered a new motor combine ^which was out to tight him.

Raise Price Of Papers Ottawa --- The Ottawa Evening Journal and the . Ottawa .'Evening-Citizen have advised their subscribers that prices of their editions will be raised from two to three cents. The newspapers claimed increased expenditures made the step necessary.. SMALLPOX IN CANADA In the frovinee of Ontario, 16 cases only of smallpox were reported in 1933. In the Province of Quebec one case was registered, and in the Maritime there were no cases of the disease. In the nine provinces of Canada, according to the statisticians of one of the large life insurance companies, 100 cases only were reported with six deaths. In order to succeed in practically stamping out smallpox, it was necessary to convince the people that vaccination was the only means of combating the disease. If we go back to the origin of smallpox in this country, we will realize to what extent a constant and vigorous battle was required to conquer the disease. Smallpox was brought to Canada in 1635 by some of the earlier settlers. It spread with devastating activity among the Indians. Whole villages were wiped out. During the two centuries following the introduction of smallpox, the toll among Indians numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Nor was the disease checked until after the introduction of vaccination by Jenner in 1798. In 1702-1703 smallpox struck Quebec city and over 3,000 French inhabitants died in the year. In 1732-1733, there were 1,800 deaths from smallpox in the City of Quebec. In 1755, more than 600 died from that disease in the City of Quebec. Since the introduction of vaccine, smallpox has decreased with great rapidity where its use has been at all general. Between the years 1871-1885 objection to vaccination became widespread in Montreal, and between 1872 and 1880, when vaccination was neglected, there were 4,811 deaths out of a population of 120,-000. This is something to be remembered at a time when vaccination is no longer being generally practised. WHAT DOES YOUR HANDWRITING REVEAL ? GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR I Graphologist A reader sends in'a question re lating to Graphology, the scieajg o Character Beading from Hanfwrii ing, that is of interest to all jthost who have. followed up t-lifcia^U,-- He says: "Is Graphology based or superstition, or is it absolutely Icien tific? Is there a reason for every thing that you say, in the course ol giving a character delineation from handwriting, or is it a sort of pseudo-science, made up of a lot of quackery, some old-time mythologies and a modicum of fact." My answer is definitely that Graphology is NO superstition, or assortment of mythologies. On the contrary it is a scientific pursuit, based on foundations that have been proven by research and actual eryday practise. It is not even yet in its final stages. New facts are emerging from continual research that is constantly carried on. In precisely the same way that medicine is still undergoing research and new findings are made from time to time, in some cases revolutionising the profession so as it with the actise of graphology. Fifteen years ago very few people thought that graphology was accur- BROWN LABEL - 33< % lb. ORANGE PEKOE - 40< y2 lb. Half His Estate Left to U.S, Will Of Oliver Wendell Holmes Bequeaths More Than Half-million In All. Washington. -- To the United States Government which he served so long, Oliver Wendell Holmes turned in death more than half the money with which it had compensated him. The great jurist's will, probated recently, revealed an estate of slightly more than $550,000. It distributed specific bequests of $283,500 and then incorporated this unusual . "All the rest, residue and der of my property of whatsoever nature, wheresoever situate, of which 1 may die seized and possessed, or in which I may have an interest at the time of my death, I give devise and bequeath, to the United States of America." As residual legatee, the Government will receive some $250,000. In his 29 years on the supreme bench few in retiremmit, Just it-is v.-hil--, people My mailbag every day contains one or more letters from people who have found character analysis, based on their handwriting, very helpful to them. Only recently, a lady, writing to comment on the accuracy of an analysis I made for her husband, said, in part: "It seems strange that you warned my husband to be careful lest his impulsiveness should get him into trouble. He only recently lost a considerable sum of money because he was so impulsive, and did not even wait to consider whether he was doing a wise thing. In spite of my own admonitions to him, he hurried on his way, with the result that he is now a lot worse off. If your j advice had only come a little sooner. I 6 to know? You can get the seres of this well-known handwriting ilyst, and he can help YOU, as he : helped so many of our readers. Holmes received approximately $490,000 from the Government. Edward J. Holmes of Boston was named principal legatee, receiving ^100,000; all of the. jurist's editions of the works of his two grandfathers, his more famous father, and of himself. Small legacies to more distant relatives and to those who served him through a long lifetime were numerous. Charitable bequests included $25,000 and the greater part of his library to the Library of Congress; $25,000 to Harvard University, $25,000 to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and certain portraits to the Massachusetts Historical Society.

Jam From Paprika When the Hungarian chemist Szent Gyorgi discovered that the sweet red pepper that grows so abundantly in his native land is a rich source of vitamin C--the one that prevents scurvy--the food manufacturers saw their opportunity. Its Budapest correspondent informs the American Chemical Society that vitapric has made its appearance--a jam made from the juice of ripened peppers (paprika). It gladdens the eye with its rich red color. Children cry for it because it is sweet yet not so sharp as the raw vegetable. Housewives mix it with foods. The doctors bless the proceeding since the chemists have found that thia paprika jam contains twice as much vitamin C as lemon juice.
