The Court of First
Report
By MARIKA M WILLIAMS
l£) ISIS by McClure Ncwcpcpcr Syndicate)
Anne dropped Into an easy chair
saying stormlly : "Oh Mrs Dean I — I
must speak to somebody I shall die
unless I dot"
"What’s the fatal somethlngl” Mrs
Dean 'asked suppressing an Incline-
tlon to laugh Anne was hardly past
her honeymoon — she had sung the
nralaes of Peter in every key through-
out a tedious engagement And ail
the first month the praise chorus had
strengthened — Peter was wonderful-
noboa like him No other woman
ever had or could have such a lover-
husband Anne was happier than the
sunshine She knew now Just why
she had been created — to love and
cherish Peter — but was puzzled as to
how she had fallen Into such amaz-
ing and undeserved felicity
Continuous harping wears thin the
rarest strain Mrs Dean had In
truth' grown tlrfed of the paeans She
was genuinely glad the young folk
were so happy but wise enough to
be sure the happiness would last long-
er If not so furiously advertised
Intuitively she understood that Anne’s
adoration was grounded In selfishness
— an Inarticulate effort to charm Peter
Into forgetting everything but her-
self She was rather a piteous figure
gasping and snubbing her fine hair
a little unkempt her eyes red-rlmraed
It moved Mrs Dean to say kindly:
"Tell (me your trouble — provided It is
anything a friend may hope to rem
edy”
“Peter has joined the gun club I"
Anne gasped rather than said "With-
out a word to me — said he knew I
had a foolish pfejudlce against guns
' and things ' I must get over It be-
cause he loved them — almost next to
me Think of that! When he knows
I have been brought up to regard
killing things — what they call sport-
as next to a crime"
"There’s no killing at the club'
Airs Dean commented "They shoot
only at clay pigeons for the Joy of
marksmanship You ough£ to be glad
rather than hurt — "
"Oh I Oh-oo I" Anne walled "You
know they go on camp hunts once or
twice a year stay a fortnight and
kill kill all the time—"
"H-m-m 1 J think you like the vent-
Ton they fetch back” Mrs Dean In-
terrupted -'' '
V Anne flushed "It la dead and not
eating it won't bring the poor deer to
life” she pretested "But that- Isn’t
the real hard part I have to stay
at home How can Peter think of that
— as crazy as he was to be always
with me?” - - - -
“You thought yon knew him up and
down backward and forward” Mrs
Dean began to answer
Anne broke In eagerly: "But 1
didn’t I find I am married to almost
a stranger”
I "Well you have all your life to get
really acquainted with him” Mrs
Dean said patiently
I Anns- sprang up angrily: “You —
nor — Peter needn’t be too sure of
that” she cried "Separations are not
looked at as they were If I go home
after things blow over I shall easily
take my old place”
I “If I thought yon meant what you
aay I should be sorry Indeed I have
thought a lot of you always” Mrs
Dean said reflectively "Yon vowed
in sight of God and man: 'Until death
us do part’ If you are thinking of
perjuring yonraelf simply because
Peter will not let your personality
submerge his — well It may be lucky —
for him”
Anno gasped again staring hard at
her hostess then covered her face
with her fingers and broke Into wild
sobs ' I — I thought you’d — under
stand" she moaned between parox-
yarns "that you were the best friend
I had— one I could come to for help-
ln — In — anything”
"You thought right — In right things"
the older woman answered "In
wrong ones— no I tell you plainly
you are risking the happiness of two
lives It may be many more You are
like so many gtrla — never see the
man’s side Let ms tell yen a hus-
band la much like a sot ef artificial
teeth — no matter how carefully they
are made and fitted It takas practice
te make them wear easy Hearts and
mouths are not so different as you
might think I dare say Peter has
found ont a lot about you since you
took his name but being a man has
been decent enougn to accept the In-
evitable disappointment like a goed
sport"
"Peter disappointed In meT What
are you saying!” Anno cried her eyes
flashing "He worships me — loves
the ground I walk on the clothes I
wear-"
“And no doubt will love the pies
you make — after you learn how" waa
Interjected cruelly "Let me tell’ you
a secret — he asked me privately If I
wouldn't show you how — ”
"So he's tricky — goes talking about
me 1” jAnne broke out the eyes flashing
keen sparks “He ought to be
ashamed ever to look me In the face
again”
“Going to bo ashamed to look him
In the face?” Mrs Dean questioned
Anne sobbed again “I am — so miser-
able all I wantJs to bo loved every-
body ought to lovo me it Is what I
need"
"Wo are all of us the better for
lovo” Mrs Dean returned stoutly:
"Real love Is— the solvent of trouble
it aught to make you glad that Peter
i it - v 4 want man-play
aiv ' it -of tfta rather than
iuv’h m -our apron strings
1 !)'! i r i i -battel — no more

Lots or Inlk irk My about mutuul
sacrifice— when commonly the sacrifice
Is ‘like the Jug handle— all on one
side Wliut would you say If Petei
raised Caln'nlxmt your bridge clnh
uml the singing society? They take
more time and ns much money as the
gun duh — and ale not so wholesome
by hnlf"
"I hate cats! I’ll never speak to
you agnin" Anne nil but shouted
“Oh I think you will" Mra Dean
retorted evenly "Y u are not a bnd
child ii ally— not Tin 1 1 so bad aa you'd
like To think yen self right now"
Anne tried to durt through the door —
It was strongly held against her nut
opened wide at a word from Mrs
Dean Peter stood framed InIt grim
but grinning "So you too have come
to tills ‘court of first resort’ ’’ he said
difficultly : "I am glad you were wise
enough — sit down now and let the
best woman In all Exborough tell us
what to do”
"I will not I” from Anne sullenly
trying to dart past him -"You
will I” from peter firmly
catching her In his arms She tried to
writhe free but vainly
Mrs Dean caught a hand of each
and led them forcibly to the big divan
saying not quite smoothly : "Sit there
you Infants until your souls catch
breath Cry Swear If you like Do
anything but let this paroxysm strike
In If you do It will be fatal — a can-
ker poisoning all the years ahead
Peter rememlier the privilege pf
strength Is forbearance Take Anne
home She Is being naughty largely
for the drama of it All the same
she Is a fever patient In need of the
love-cure Bundle her Into the car
and don’t conie back till midnight
After that If she says so I’m willing
to be a stranger”
Around one of the clock next morn
lng There came a tap at the Dean door
Inside sat the mistress of the house
not dozing but singing In a soft faint-
ly cracked voice "Douglas Douglas
tender and true”
The song stopped abruptly the
singer flung wide the door Outside
baud in hand stood Anne and Peter
their glorified faces saying all she
wished to hear
BREAD HIGH IN FOOD VALUE
Advocated as Sura Bulldsr af Healthy
Enargatlc Bodies and Efficient
Eeenemistof Mensy
s r-MBflffik:
' "Faulty nutrition la one of the most
Important fact ora contributing to the
early degeneration of body tissues and
consequent early loss of youth”
The above startling statement comes
from a well-known scientific authority
who goes on to say that such early
degeneration causes the Inaccuracy
lack of efficiency and lack of success
which characterizes much of our present-day
life
He claims that “one of the most Im-
portant means of preventing the de-
terioration of the body la through prop-
er nutrition” And since this U true
he advocates presenting to children In
practical form tha latest scientific in-
formation regarding the sort of nutri-
tion that will "promote health and vig-
or and preserve aa long aa possible tha
characteristics of youth" -Bread
la by every conceivable test
the food of foods First of all bread
la satisfying And It never taxes tha
digestion or clogs the system as do
richer foods
Most Important' of all though Is the
fact that bread is so high In nutrition
that alone It can be depended upon to
build health energy wornout tissues
and guarantee energy for the day’s
work
Not only Is bread the sure builder
ef healthy energetic bodies but Is the
most efficient economist of money For
example: A one-pound loaf of bread
supplies tn calories (energy value) al-
most as much as two pounds of beef
more than three pints of inllk and
more than four pounds of chicken
Fromhe above figures It la easy to
see that as the family Increases Its con-
sumption of bread the meat and po-
eery bills decrease
Original Meaning ef "I H
The inscription "I H 8" was orig-
inally the Greek letters "lota” ’’eta1
and “sigma" the first three letters-
or as some authorities aay the first
two and the last letter — of tha Greek
word for “Jesus” In later years the
origin of these letters having been
lost they were mistaken for the Latin
capitals "L H S” and a Latin word
waa found for each letter as follows:
"Jesus Homlnum Salvator" Latin for
"Jesus Savior of Men”
This anagram Is said to have orig-
inated with St Bernardlne of Siena
In 1347 According to other authori-
ties the letters are the Initials of the
words "In Hoc Slgno" Latin for "In
This Sign” miraculously displayed In
the sky before Constantine and his
army — Exchange
Principal Yukon Trees
The principal forest trees of the
Yukon are white and black spruce
balsam poplar and birch These oc-
cur on the mountain slopes up to 2800
feet above the rivers and lakes The
white spruce Is the most valuable tree
and furnishes good timber for mining
and building purposes Tha best
groves of these trees are found on the
Islands or the alluvial flats along the
rivers but good specimens have been
encountered on the slopes of the hills
to a height of 2000 feet above the
rivers 1 As one goes farther north the
spruce deteriorates In both appearance
