From one point of view, its wondrous complexity and specialization of parts simply means that It has a lot of things to get out of kilter. Suppose, for instance, there is some injury to Its "shock absorle ers,” the little pieces of cartilage which lie between the small lames of the spine and act as cushions to protect against jarring. These bits of cartilage, called intervertebral disk*, are small, and they serve a most usetul purpose, but if they are Injured you are going to have trouble. There are certain injuries to the intervertebral disks which, In turn, produce pain In the lower part of the back. At time* the pain paasez downward into the leg This la known as sciatica. At other times, a part of the disk herniates or ruptures. The type of injury which has occurred to the disk will determine to some extent the type of symptom* that develop. For example, according to Dr. Jamas H. Young of Australia, a herniation of the disk will rauae compression or pressure symptoms. When ihb» happens It will be found that the spine bends away from the affected side.

In such cases bending over while standing makes the pain worse bat bending backward or bending forward when sitting down is painless. In order to tell when injury to the intervertebral disks has occurred, an X-ray of the spine is taken. An examination to determine If there is tenderness along the spine or to find if tho vertebrae or small bones in the spine move too freely will ak«o help in the diagnosis. In the case of a hernia of a disk, surgical repair of the disk is usually necessary. Now and then, the part of the disk which has gotten out of position may go liack In place by Itself. Tearing of the disk is treated by using, the wearing ot a east or brace for awhile may relieve the symptoms. If this fails, an operation Is done in which the verteline between which the disk is located are ankylosed, that is, fixed together ao that they are not movable.

When pain In the back and sciatica occur, a careful study. Ineluding X-rays of the spine, should be carried out io determine if damage to the intervertebral dtoiu may not be responsible.

"Then she Is In a mess with a man again,” Claire decided. “She has a talent for it All her marriages were gash-awful. Her drat husband la tn a sanatorium—at her expense. The second shot himself after gambling away all she had. Number Three was a decent sort for a change, so she kicked him out for some handsome four-flusher she’d met Only, that one got off the book.** It was quite a story. | "When was her last divorce?” I wanted to know. “Oh—a while before your sister’s wedding. 1 remember she cried on your aunt’s shoulder about the defection of Number Four while you Arena in Greenwich.” "Was that before, or after her—alterations?” “Before. But definitely! She looked a hundred then, what with all her heartbreak.

Claire shrugged. "A new one, or perhaps the elusive Number Four. Go home and see for yourself.

That is, nothing but finding the door on the latch—a frequent occurrence, as something had gone haywire with the mechanism —ond finding the automatic elevator unreaporurtve to my signal, so that 1 had to walk up the five flights of stairs and arrived at tny door an out of breath. Perhaps that accounted for the croaking tone of voice in which I called, "Hello there T* questioningly, from the foyer. But the ting with which 1 slammed the door shut, and the fact that I waited a full minute for an answer that didn’t come, before I dared go into my own living room, was something else again. No one was in it But Margot had been there and had had a caller, judging by a tray on the low table before the fireplace, with two empty highball glasses, a bottle of whisky, a bowl of melted ice cubes and two ash trays heaped with ashes and stubs. It made the whole room look messy and uninviting, and 1 picked it up and marched to the kitchen with it, thinking, a little angrily, that Margot might have done so herself. And then I went to my room, on tiptoe. Because 1 felt pretty sure she was taking a beauty nap. But 1 was wrong. The door of her room stood wide open and the room was empty. And so 1 concluded she had run out on some errand and would soon be back, and went on about my business, first arranging a flask of sherry and three glasses on the table from which I had just removed Margot's used tray, and then going into my room to change. Presently I was ready. It was almost seven—the time when Hunt Berwick was to call for us—and still no Margot! It was provoking, to say the least, and I kept rambling about the apartment restlessly—from the street windows to the hall door to the windows again. Until at last the downstairs bell rang and Hunt Berwick announced himself on the speaking tube. He looked smart and handsome when he walked in a minute or two later, and didn't seem greatly disturbed about Margot's unaccountable absence.

“Oh, she’ll turn up all right. Let’s wait a while,” he said placidly, dropping into one of the comfortable chairs in front of the mantel —my favorite roost in the living room. “And by the way, Jane, you look stunning in black.” Compliments are so rare in my life they make an impression. I felt myself blush with pleasure as I poured our sherry, and am afraid Margot Ingalls, disappearance and all, quite slipped my mind for the next 15 minutes. Then both Hunt and I became restless. "If Mrs. Ingalls really was here and had a visitor this afternoon, perhaps they’ve left something around that would tell us if she Intends coming back,” Hunt suggested with a glance at his wrist watch. “Bitting here with you is very pleasant, but—they don’t keep tables forever these days.” The remark reminded me of the tray l*d found and 1 got up, saying. “They did. Sherlock Holmes! That to, if a tray with used glasses and such comes under the Itoßding « ■clues.’ Wait tlfl get H M J** 1 - and walked to tha kitchen, prompted, jaaee or less, by ths idea Ui*t
