fx seems almost an absurdity to say tnere are many pe persons who don't know how to fcreathe. But this yvSf ill MrvX can be said with absolute truth. Have you ever noticed that many very thin persons are big eaters? It sometimes seems as if it must make them thin to carry all they consume. The amount of food one takes does not determine fatness or leanness. What happens to the individual depends on the assimilation of the food.

Some furnaces eat up a lot of fuel and give out little heat There is something wrong when this happens. There is something wrong when much food is with the wonderful news which my father so unobtrusively had given us. Yet I felt a sudden inexplicable disinclination to discuss Mr. Drake's prospects with Lillian. "Well!" I rose, throwing out my hands with a little gesture of mock despair.

"This Isn't breaking -the dread, news to Katie. If you hear wild shrieks "I'll stand by in ambush with hand grenades," Lillian promised flippantly, and I left the room with the feeling that was Indeed going into battle. "Dis Too Mooch!" The feeling was Intensified a little later when after Katie had listened silently and unsmilingly to my list of the things which Mr. Drake would require during his self-imposed seclusion In his room, she put her arms akimbo and faced me belligerently. "You mean," she said, and with uneasiness I heard the tremolo which ar-ways precedes hysterical anger In her voice "you mean, I got to feex all sorts of nice tings all hours of day and night for dot boonch of soup greens vot alt' times stand und look at me like I vun peeg or foony animal from circus vot he nefer see before und vant to find out vot I do? Und me mlt all kinds of extra vork on hand, und shoost look at beeg family in dls house, vork enough for two, tree girls, und I nefer keeck.

Dot beeg sheep head he can cook heemself, eef he vanta sum ting. Me, I do noting for heem!" The flow of words, bo fast, so vehement that I felt as If a cloud had burst above my head, suddenly changed to the hysterical sobbing which I sometimes suspect Katie has on tap, ready to turn on at will. I had watched her closely, and had listened attentively, planning my course the whye. Now I stood perfectly silent and motionless while she wept and sniffled, waiting until her Insatiable curiosity got the better of her.

When I saw her eyes furtively peering me from behind the hands which she had flung before her face, I said, with careful Indifference: "Very well, Katie, I am sorry you feel that you cannot do this for me. But it something which must be nevertheless, my father has asked for it. So you will please leave the cooking things where I can get at them I will prepare Mr. Drake's meals CSrri.it. mjby Nwwp.oi, hW.5arrk.

PEGOT tumbled her baby sister over the grass, but gathered her ap quickly as she spied a tiny ant struggling through the grasses toward them. The ant had something held tlghtry In her pinchers of which she seemed to be very careful, holding It as high as she could, so It wouldn't drag over the grasses.

"Something she's caught," mused Peggy, holding her baby sister In her arras. "I don't want her to crawl on you. baby dear," and Peggy ran back to the baby carriage and put her little sister In It. then she hurried back to see if the little ant was still In sight "Going on a picnic, I'll bet a nickel," Peggy mused out loud, as she spied the little creature a second time. "I guess that's her lunch." "Then you have another guess coming," laughed a merry voice, and the tiny ant laid her bundle down tenderly on the grasses and nodded to the astonished Peggy.

"Tou folks think that all we ants have to do Is to play, I guess. But let me tell you. that Is the wrong Impression. Why, it has been so long since I've been to a plcnlo that I wouldn't know how to act It Just takes about all my time taking care of the baby." "Oh, you dear!" Peggy exclaimed. "Tou have a baby! Why, thought you were Just a little ant." "So I am," laughed Tiny Ant "This Isn't my baby.

She Is my baby slater." "But where la your mother?" questioned Peggy. "Mother Is terribly busy," laughed Tiny Ant "Tou see, when she hatchet several hundred little ants out at once. "Where I Yoar MotWr Mother Ant can't take care of them alt If It wasn't for us older ants I doni know what she would do. I'm Just a nurse maid, you might call me, and It all I can do to take care of the baby ants given to me to. care for.

Why, would you believe me, I've never lost sight of this tiny sister ajnee she lay cuddled up in the egg that held her. Tou see. they have to be moved according to the weather. On warm days she must be brought up near the surface of the ground, and during wet weather I must carry her down Into one of our deepest chambers. Then, another handicap little sister suffers is that she was hatched without any legs." "My goodness!" exclaimed Peggy.

"How In the world does she how do alt her sisters get around?" "They can't unless we carry them." replied Tiny Ant. "Why, that little bundle you thought was my lunch, Tve carried In my pinchers for ever so long. But I've always carried her safe and she's In the second period of her life. She spun the light yellow cocoon in which you see her wrapped, and now any second she'll come out, I do believe," and Tiny Ant stooped over the tiny bundle lying on the grass. Then she straightened up laughing merrily.

Sure enough, the tiny ant inside the yellow cocoon was moving. Tiny Ant broke the outside case and helped the baby out then gently unfolded her tiny legs snd laughed with glee at the dear little wings as she smoothed thetn out Isn't that great!" she cried. "I have been wishing she would be a queen, and she Is! You know, the queen ants and the males are the only ants born with wings. Excuse me, I'm In a dread ful hurry to tell Mother Ant!" And without waltmg for Peggy to reply, Tiny Ant gathered up the baby ant and hurried away. Peggy ran back to her own baby sister and looked at her chubby little bare feet "Oh, I'm so glad you weren't born without feet!" Peggy laughed.

Father Just told me Mr.

Drake was having some difficulty with the codes." "His trifling; variation." Lillian commented with a trace of mocking malice. "I'm only a novice In Allen Drake's end of this game, but I have a fancy that this time he has underrated the task set him. It wouldn't do him any harm to bump his now a bit, especially as he's sure to come out on top finally he al-wars does." There was In her Tolce, despite her feline little wish, a distinct tribute to Allen Drake's unusual powers, and I knew that the magnanimous soul of her was perfectly sincere In her belittling of her own knowledge of codes and her exalting of Mr. Drake's ability. Lillian can be a trifle malicious occasionally, but It is not In her to be petty.

"Do you mean that he will finally solve It?" I asked. "He'll get enough of It so that well know where things stand, and he won take final leave of the thing until every tiniest part is clear to him. Even If It takes months and consultation with foreign experts, and the dove-tailing of their various records, he'll finally get all of It. He's like a bulldes, only more tenacious. But It will be a solar plexus blow to his vanity not to get it all easily especially after that spiel he made to me.

A Laojjtirng Promise. "There's one thing certain. We won't know he's fallen down unless your father spills the beans. There's Just one person In the world to whom Allen Drake yields deference and obedience, and that Is your father, and it Is the Chief, alone, who will know what he accomplishes or doesn't." A thrill ran through my pulses. To Lillian Underwood and Allen Drake my father's remarkable rejuvenation, and the triumph which was almost in his grasp, were matters of professional Joy, vf loyal but a bit impersonal pride In a brilliant chief.

To me there was a tensely poignant happiness In knowing that the father whom I adored was coming Into his own again. Allen Drake's success or failure was a matter of Indifference to me when compared Tomorrowls, HOROSCOPE THURSDAY, JUNE 22. Although the sidereal operations for this day point to the breaking up of long-thwarting obstacles and congested conditions, yet there are certain portents of deferred hopes.

Invariably this lack of symmetrical de. velopmtnt of the body Is due to failure to breathe properly. Good lung action is essential to good health. There is a faithful and useful clerk In an office I visit. Recently I talked 'TKh her about what deep breathing might do to benefit her health.

To stand out on the porch and Indulge In a lot -of deep breaths makes some folks feel foolish. To attach this Idea to some sort of sport or game helps a lot I have advised a great many times that blowing exercises be taken. Stand ln front of a lace curtain or a short distance from a strip of paper sua-nended from the celling.

Then fill your lungs and blow steadily until the cut-Lain or paper moves with the current of air. Needless to say, ft Isn't the blowing but the flBlng of the lungs which must be done In order to blow that causes the development of the lungs. This exercise will open many air cells and whole areas of lung tissue which have seldom been used before. Practiced two or three times a day, this exercise will lead to the habitual use of Increased hing tissue. By the way, do not overdo the blowing exercises at first.

If you do, your chest muscles may become very Bora and lame. Blow till the object moves, and then step back two feet and try again. Gradually Increase the distance, and very shortly yon will have enlarged your lung capacity and will have materially increased your weight. Fill your lungs with good air, load your red corpuscles with oxygen, and your food wfU become of real value to you. Tour chest will fill out and your figure will Improve correspondingly, More than this, your power to resist dis ease will be added to, and your chance of long life will be Increased.
