uncle benefitting john fellows sylvia runs in to john fellowes when a tire breaks out at his hotel and tells him of the will lie advises her to carry on the de vption have taken a hand in this game sylvia told herself waiting i dont know that it wouldnt be good idea tony she agreed on the spur of the moment rising to her feet not that i doubt your word about the will but 1 want something to do and the drive would do me good splendid he laughed and afterwards well go on to a jewellers ive spotted where theres a most complete choice of engagement rings sylvia as ive already got things moving about cur marriage licence its only right that people should see were blissfully affianced youve been seeing about a mar riage licence sylvia was a little startled why of course he laughed two days ago now that was our bargain wasnt it once youre safe ly my wife sylvikins our little lit tle secret will be in the family where it will stay for good as a matter of fact he added the bottom of the secret will be knocked clean out then anyhow so soon as you and i are man and wife loveliest down i go to the bank again collect that troublesome docu ment youre going to see this morn ing burn it to ashes and well then nobody in the world can accuse you of not being properly entitled to old luke llassinghams money clever of course if things went so far as that but they must not would not before then john christopher would surely have something to say chapter xiii rasslona te interlude and meanwhile the waiting game was clearly not to be without its particular loathsome moments sylvia became suddenly warned she had just vaguely noticed paula leaving the room thrusting away her cheque into a snakeskin handbag with beau tiful gold mountings when without warning she found herself suddenly clasped in tonys arms clasped so tightly indeed that the breath was all but crushed from her while completely stifling all her efforts to protest against the violent kisses he forced upon her it seemed tin intolerable age be fore breathless himself he just as suddenly released her that for betrothal you lovely adorable thing he gasped laughing ly down at her only to have the laugh struck from his handsome sal low face by a stinging blow from her small right hand you brute you beast how dare you do that to me she was flaming at him flung back against a wall white fingers cover ing her lips seeming to be seeking to wipe away an invisible stain dare on his part his hand was lifted to that cheek on which the sting of her palm had left a scarlet patch there was blank astonish ment in his eyes dare ho repeated and then laughed and why shouldnt a man dare kiss his future wife little tiger- cat engagement ring i thought a special marriage licence has been applied for and should be granted in the nest day or so for us to be married with out any hanging around and yet you object to my kissing you certainly i do sylvia seeing him moving towards her again had now a chance to evade him placing an immense settee between herself and him you know why i agreed to become your wife she flung back her nead proudly her eyes scornful it was only because you and paula bad trapped me and 1 could see no other way out there isnt any question at all of my being in the least in love with you dont think it any mar riage between us could only be a mater of form oh you think that do you he laughed a hard little glitter in his eyes well you may think it and welcome but youll find youre mis taken dear little iceberg you may not imagine yourself in love with me now but you will be in the end and meantime once more sylvia edged away from him as he began to move round the settee she need not have troubled he was making for the door laugh ing ironically you neednt look so alarmed he shrugged i am in no hurry sylvia i0v6 is always tho sweeter for wait ing and a little fighting but we wont fight yet so long as we quite understand each other thats good enough for me ill be waiting for you down be low in the car sweetheart he added the door open dont try my patience too much will you sylvia watching the door close be hind him felt a wave of relief at this unexpected respite she turned her fingers stil lightly trying to re move the stain of assault from those bruised lips of hers if only it had been john chris topher who had kissed her but john christopher for whose sake partly she had to suffer tony malliison john christopher at this moment was probably with that titianhaired stella darlingford just as probably kissing her sylvias eyes were misted and her heart was heavy as she turned to pass through the halfopen door just behind her leading from the salon to her bedroom there to control and tidy herself quickly before she join ed the waiting tony below imagin ing the bedroom empty as she closed the door she was the more astonish ed to find florrio the maid stand ing there abviously waiting for her though sylvia knew of no reason why she should be there at all mr tony can wait miss she astonished sylvia still further by saying in hoarse low tones he can wait anyhow while you and i have a few words about you being married to him according to you by way of being forced to it sylvia was naturally taken com pletely aback finding herself spoken to in this way by paulas maid it was the more surprising because dur ing the last five weeks florrie had scarcely spoken at all to sylvia be yond in the ordinary way of s her duties there had been no renewal at all between them of those earlier in timate talks about sylvia and her money which had so puzzled the lat ter what then did this unexpected desire io discuss her private affairs mean what did florrio know what was her interest in interfer ing there were the questions fitting through sylvias mind as she stared wonderingly into that pale face with tho large expressive black eyes what on earth do you mean flor rie she gasped involuntarily the other laughed to be continued

soceity at its annual convention the discovery was made by a group of scientists working in the laboratories of the university of wisconsin and describ ed in a paper presented by prof e b hart and drs o l kline and c a elvehjem this brain vitamin which the scien tists describe as b4 is declartd to be responsible for the building up of the brain tissues and their maintain- ance in lull functioning ctyacit- and when lacking in food supplies causes the deterioration of the cerebellum particularly the motor areas of the brain and results in general paraly sis tests have been conducted on chickens when deprived of b4 they developed general paralysis in from three to four weeks- the b4 vitamin concentrates in the brain the discover crs leported much smaller amounts have been found in other organs but the brain is believed to be tbe organ in which it is first concentrated and from there distributed generally throughout the hotly found with carrier when this paralysis factor was first discovered it was believed to be a simple vitamin body of the water soluble type when further experi ments ltd to the discovery of its greater concentration in the brain and some extensvc tests of the con centrated variety were made it was found to be latsoluble as well further inquiry led to the conclus ion that what had ben labelled vit amin 114 was not a simple vitamin but a complex substance part of which was the carrier of the vitamine- the vitamin and its carrier subtance their experiments indicated were de pendent upon each other thi vita min being responsible for the produ ction of this substance in the brain and this substance as produced be came an integral part of the brain structure controls brain growth the combination of vitainii and its carrier said dr klvehjem is ar- parently a definite structure in the brain that produces brain tissues of j catalyzes the formation of brain tis- su e vitamin can be removed i some extent from substances containing it by water and it is completely des troyed by aeration at the tempera ture of boiling water the vitamin b4 content of food substances is not large and as the vitamin is quite labile said dr elvehjem it may be
