MONEY TO LOAN The experience of Motherhood is a try- Ing one to most women and marks dia- tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medicaltreatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism mtiitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. Enhanced Br Perfect Physi- cal Health.

Mrs. Chichester retorted heatedly: “He desires her to be trained. What training is better than marriage?" Hawkes was moving restlessly about the room. He stopped In front of Mrs, Chlchester as Jarvis disappeared to notify Peg. "There is one thing you mast know. Mr. Hawkes. My son is tri love with her," she said. as though in a burst ot confidence.

" And,he1'e was he In the full prime ot life. Yielding to some uncontrollable im. pulse. he took her little hand in both of his own. Hawkes was not to he denied now.

Hawkes hunted through his mind for the cause of this upheaval in the CN.. chester home. He remembered Mrs. Cl1iehester's statement about Alaric’s affection for his young cousin. Could the trouble have arisen from that? It gave him a clew to work on. He grasped it. Peg looked up at him sadly and shook her head.
