THE BEACH REVIEW
JHousewife's Idea Box I
To Stere Lac~s
If you have laces which you do
not intend to use for a long time,
do not Just lay them in a box or
drawer until wanted. They are
likely to be ruined by dry rot. To
prevent this, "wrap the laces In
waxed paper. Then store them
away in a box. They will keep
very nicely in this way.

IT WORKED
FOR ME
MORE peDple could feel fine, be
fit and regmar, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of
which can't be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use liquid laxatives,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Beduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity,
You must use a little less laxative
each time, and that's why it ahoule[
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and if
it doesn't give you absolute relief, if
it isn't a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes biliousness due to ¢on-
~ipation, your money back.

CHAPTER XIV--Continued She looked suddenly years older, the human heart and wrong thinking
**I think I understand, child," she
had said, In a voice that was all sad-
hess. And it was Silver who had cried.
By mldafternoon the sky was a sul-
len, gray-white glare of heat, and the
leaves of the Mlcheners' shade trees
drooped like flakes of Iead. A new
and sinister stillness pervaded the air
a sort of hushed and unwholesome
waiting. Although there was not a
cloud In sight, low In the west there
was a curious humid depth of blue, as
though the paint from a water-coloc
had run down and settled.
"It's gain' to storm !" GranOma Mleh-
ener predicted.
Silver was preparing to leave for
home when Phil Mlchener came back
from Maynard. The incident at the
EmeraId Bay club had been the talk
of the town during the day.
"Strikes me," Phil added, "Roddy
ought to keep that pretty wife of his
away from such places--though that's
his business, not mine."
"Corinne wasn't over there last
night?" Silver put in.
"She was there with the Rlchters0"
Phll told her.
Silver bade a hurried farewell and
started for home. As she spurred
Busty over the short-cut and through
the fields, she found herself shivering
with some nameless apprehensiveness
that had no connection with the ap-
proaching storm. Here and there
alongside the grassy, almost unused
road, the cottonwood leaves rustled fit-
fully, as if in some secret agitation,
for it could not be the glazed, dead
air that stirred them.
The light was subtly changlng. The
effect of it was rather that of looking
at an eclipse of the sun through a blue
glass. And when Silver finally turned
her horse into his own pasture, the
western horizon had swollen into a
blue-black, monstrous reef.
There was no one in the yard as she
approached Roddy's house. Roddy and
Steve, Silver knew, were cutting hay In
the south field, almost a mile away.
The whirr of the mower came faintly
on the dead stillness of the later after-
noon.
In tne driveway, before the door of
the blg house, stood Roddy's car. As
Silver passed it, she glanced into it
and saw a large black suitcase lying
across the seat. Could Corinne pos-
sibly be planning to go somewhere
wlth the storm coming on?
She flung open the kitchen door and
almost colllded with Corlnne--hatte.q
and gloved, and wearing a tailored
dark silk dress suitable for traveling.
In one hand she carried a small leather
case and her purse. Under her other
arm snuggled Macbeth, her red Pom-
erania~ These details Silver took in
with alarmed comprehension.
"Where in the world are you going,
Corinne?" she asked. "Don't you see
there's a storm coming up?"
Corinne laughed nonchalantly, al-
though her eyes flamed in reckless de-
fiance. "I haven't time to tell you,"
she replied. "1 have to hurry ....
What are you doing? Let me gel"
Her voice rose to a piercing shriek
as Silver seized her and forced her
violently into a chair.
"For God's sake. Corinne!" Silver
panted. "Have you lost your senses
completely ?"
'~ake your hands off me!" Corinne
burst out. She had gone white with
fury as she struggled to release her-
self.
Silver dropped Corinne's arm~ and
stepped back from her, aghast and be-
wildered. "Are you going away with
Gerald Lucas?" she demanded.
"This is none of your business !" Co-
rinne fumed as she sprang from the
chair. "I know what I'm doing. I
haven't time to talk to you---even If
I wanted to !"
She started again towarQ the door,
but Silver barred her way.
"How dare you interfere wlth me?"
Corinne stammered, with something of
her old imperious manner, which was
to Silver merely pathetic now. "You
must be crazy--"
"It's you who are crazy," Silver In-
terrupted coldly.
Corinne seemed to regaln control of
herself. "Think what you like." she
said in a calmer tone. "I have never
cared much about what you think of
me, anyhow." She pushed back her
sleeve with a trembling hand and
glanced at her watch- "All I want
now is to get away. That's all I've
wanted from the first day I came here.
I've left a note telling Roddy Le can
find the car In front of Kaber's
store. Let me pass. please!"
Silver did not move from her place
before the door. "I ~un't let you go--
like this."
"Have your own way, titan," Corinne
told her. "I'll go out by the, front
door."
~ilver burst suddenly into tears and
clung to Corinne.
,,Corrl~--I Implore you! Don't do
this to yovrself! I know what life
wlth Gerald will be. l've sec~. enough
af it--I've been through it. Your life
will be ruined. Corinne, darling--
please---please--I won't let you gel"
Silver caught her arm. but Corinne,
with a sharp little Jerk of her body,
llsengaged herself. Her small, piquant
ace" was frozen with determlnadon.
"I tell you--I don't care l" she cried
desperately. Her head was proud and
high. "I can't let him go away alone.
I realized that last night when he told
me he would have to leave. I love him
--and he love~ me." For an appalling
moment her face became almost shrew-
ish. "If I don't like the way Gerald
lives, perhaps I can make something
worth while out of him--and I couldn't
do that for Roddy WlllardI"
Before Silver could reach her, Co.
rlnne had darted into the front room
and out the door. Silver ran after her,
sobbing, pleading, clutchlng at her in
despair, but Corinne, in stony, inexor-
able silence, climbed into the ear and
drove away.
Silver looked wildly after her, and
stood for a moment with her hand
pressed frantically against her mouth.
She was vaguely aware that it had

grown much darker, that the earth
seemed enclosed in an airless, suffocat-
lag sphere. Then she stamped her foot
and brushed the tears impatiently from
her eyes.
"Go, then--you d--d little ldiot i"
she said aloud as she saw the car pass
through the gateway and gather speed
in the open road.
Suddenly there came into her mind
the clamoring necessity of finding Rod-
dy. The distance to the hayfield
seemed immeasurable as she went run-
ning, stumbling, plunging to no avail
again and again over the entangling
meshes of grass, over the familiar and
the treacherous ruts of a fallow field
which was wavering strangely now
with livid patches of shadow. She
paused and glanced over her shoulder
to reassure herself that she had come
at least half way, when there came a
sound that was a shrill, demoniacal
whine, followed by a roar that stunned
all thought.
Then the rain came.
The rain, the rain, the blessed rainI
Silver threw her arms wide and laughed
In sheer pagan Joy as the rich, drown-
ing flood of it descended upon her. It
washed away all drouth and hanger
and defeat; it washed all error from
from the human mind.
The raln ceased as suddenly as It
had begun. Presently, from the dl-
rection of the Wlllard hill, Silver saw
a dark shape plunglng toward her. It
was Roddy.
"What the devil are you doing out
here?" he demanded as he came Within
speaking distance.
"I started out to find you--when the
rain came," she replied haltingly.
"We hit for the house when we saw
it coming," he said.
"You've been home--you've found
Corlnne's letter?" she asked.
"I found it," he replied in a clipped
tone.
"I tried to stop her, Roddy, I
fought with her---but I couldn't do any-
thing. Then I ran--to get you--so
that you could go after her--before it
was too late."
Roddy smiled bitterly. "H--l. they've
gone to Mexico !" he said. "That's too
far away for me."
"You're going to let her go?"
"It Isn't as bad as it looks, kid," he
said slowly. "Corinne really left me--
months ago. But--come along. Steve
is out looking for you, and Phronle is
having fits because you're not in the
house."
He put his arm about her gently and
they walked in silence toward the
house. To the eastward, lightning
strode across the sky, and all about
them are air quaked with thunder.
"Don't you think too much about
this, Silver," Roddy said Steadily as
they went across the field. "I'm giving
Corinne a chance to live the life she
wants to live. I've known what she
wanted--but I've never been able to
give It to bet. I was a d---d fool, I
guess. But there's something I want
to tell you--Corinne Is really in love
with Lucas. I bave suspected It all
along, but when she came home last
night--there was something about her
--a sort of glory fn her face that I've
never seen there before. I asked her
about Lucas and she told me she loved
him. There wash'* anything I could do
about It, kid. I t,qd her she could go
when she felt lik~ It."
Silver's heart beat so rapidly that
she could make no reply. They made
their way across the field until they
came parallel with Roddy's experi-
mental tract of corn. The sky was
lifting now as though the lid were be-
Ing raised from a casket of glowing
Jewels. Green and gold and blue, in
a cleansed and hallowed world--P cast
over the heart a spell of awe and
wonder.
On this, the south side of the field,
the locusts had done very little dam-
age. And now, after the rain, the
stalks stood tall and fine, the snug,
firm ears glistened, and the leaves
flowed wlth beauty."
Silver, her eyes urmn the field,
thought of Corinne. "How could she
go away from this. Boddy~and take a
chance on the life--"
Roddy smiled down at her. "Life's a
gamble---wherever you live it, Silver,"
he said. "It's when you live it with
someone you love that makes the dif-
ference."
He took her shoulders in his hands,
turned her about and looked through
almost a year of frustratlon, despair
and defeat--into the serenity of Sli-
ver's eyes.
And ae~oss his shoulder, Silver saw
a rainbow above the land.

Omens for Luck
Are Still Guide
Superstition Rules Many
Activities, Especially
in England.
Old superstitions remain and new
ones are added. When winners in
the Irish Sweep were asked to say
to what they attribute their good
luck, a heavy percentage replied that
they had a "lucky number" to thank.
(The number 13 was considered both
lucky and unlucky.)
Others attributed their good for-
tune to spiders, "money spiders" par-
tlcularly, and one individual believed
he won because he had carried a
piece of coal about with him since
the dawn of 1933. One gave the
credit to a fall of oak leaves upon
him, and another wrote: "Last year
was the first time that swallows built
on my property, and my wife said
immediately, 'Oh, don't disturb them,
swallows bring good luck.'"
In England superstition is not con-
fined to the countryside; it Is to be
found even in the center of business
London. No member of the Baths-
child family, for instance, will shake
hands with a customer in hls own
bank or place of business. The
Rothschilds consider it unlucky to
do so.
Again, London's Bush house has
eight of its pillars ornamented and
one plain. The idea, derived from
the ancient Greeks, is that" God alone
can acbleve perfection and that man
therefore could not attempt It.
Practically every member of the
London Stock exchange carries a
mascot. One especially favored is a
crooked coin. a sixpence for choice.
But for the crooked coin to bring
luck it must have been given to you.
Sou must not have received It in
change.
For the last 70 years, a well-known
diamond merchant asserts, the for-
tunes of his firm have been Influ-
enced by a large and beautiful sap-
phlxe. This merchant is K. D. Parlkh
of Antwerp and Bombay, and the
sapphire, which came from the Kash-
mir mines, was bought by his grand-
father 40 years ago.
The gem is named "Shanl," which
means "Luck Bringer." It is kept
in a special safe, on New Year's day.
Once it was sold and Immediately
misfortunes befell the firm. It was
bought back, and all went well.
t'Shanl," which originally cost $10,-
000, has gained so remarkable a rep-
utation that $60,000 was offered for
it not long ago. The offer was re-
jected,--Philadelphla Inquirer.
