Ills figures show that three senators and temepresentatives have died in little more than a year. Causes of death were emotional strain, overeating, lack of physical exercise, and what he calls an unbalanced life. By the latter he means the absence of normal home life owing to the many social duties connected with these jobs. Some of these factors might be mitigated If officials adopted a sensible regime and stuck to It. This procedure would require al most superhuman strength of cnarar'ter. and might lose friends and even votes for those who carz ried it out. but they would be more likely to stay alive.

Why sho'uldn t they have ? the thought petered out as she remembered the lateness of their return. No she had already decided that the stores had been dosed. Hut they might have been planning some other sort of surprise. She put this thought tn the tront of bcr mind, and clung to it. Dick came to, see her the following afternoon, while she was doing the ironing. This was one household chore which Jenny actually • disliked, and she was delighted to , have Ole Interruption. His first words were. •'Where’s i Ghillie!” and he.stared about the ■ kitchen with an air of Injury. “Mra Folsom came home last • night unexpectedly,' Jenny told him. “Golly! You mean he’s gone for ■ good?” i "Yes. of course. But I think Mrs. L Folsom might be glad to have you i walk him. She Onds It pretty strenuous at times, and besides, she knows what friends you and Ghilhe have become." t "I’ll ask her." He put his books . down and was half out of the door when he. remembered what he had come for. "Oh, bay, I* want to ask you something,Can Iwvork In your attic tor a couple of weeks!' Jenny looked at him qucstlonI ingly. "In the altic! What do . you want to do there!" He twisted a little with embarrassment, "Wen. 1 thought ...,.

Dick, how thoughtful!" ' Jenny meant It, and Dick’s ears r grew red with pleasure. "You > couldn’t have chosen anything bet- - ter .for either of them!

Be secin' you!” With an excess of high spirits, he bounded out of the door, and disappeared in the direction of Mrs. Folsom’s house. Jenny went back to her ironing with a pleased feeling. Apparently things were at last beginning to work out In the Torres household. She had known It would take time for three such divergent personalities to settle together happily, but now It looked as if the-time of adjustment was. really over. She picked up a pile of napkins, still warm from the Iron, and carried them into the dining room. As always, sorting the table linens made her think of her mother. So many times when she was little she had watched her lift them carefully from the drawer, or roll them on long tubes of cardboard And one such occasion came hack to her now. It had been when aha waa in her early teens. Diane had to a Party that afternoon, and Natalie was tn her Bret year of art school In New York. She could hear herself saytng tn a plaintive voice: "Dfa beaqpful, and Nat to clever. But what am I. Mother?" Ber aaotlMr had put down, the llncna, as If recognizing that this was a moment which demanded all her mother love. She had gathered Jenny into her arms and had looked dotvn Into her face with infinite tenderness. "Tex,” she had repeated. "Diane to beautiful, and i Natalie is clever. But you have a i gentle heart, eriffwonwe, and I think that in the end you aril! be the I one to get the most out of life." Remembering those worth. Jenny stood SUB. Was It tr*! Or ' did a gentle heart only lay one open to more wounds and hurts than the average! She tried to ■ comfort herself with a little phl- . losophy. "I may be hurt more easily." she said, half aloud, "but I perhaps I have the faculty of being happier, too.* And she went beck, to her ironing feehnr eom- | lotted m some ohsetre fastuon.

Jenny bit her Bp la indecision. If Dick were Ijring injured somewhere. certainly the police should be notified; every possible effort should be made to find him. But. somehow, Jenny felt Dick's disappearance had been a voluntary one, that putting the machinery of the police into motion eras the last thing they should du ft would hopelessly antagonize and alienate him when he was found. "Waa there—* She hesitated, began again. "Had anything unpleasant happened at home !" Elsa sighed on a ragged breath. ' "Oh. Jenny, something is always 1 happening at our bouas that shouldn’t! Things that used to 1 crop up between Pete and me, and that we both uaed to brush aatde 1 without a eecond thought, are 1 looming large nowadays; Just Dick’s presence seems to make it 1 so.

I’ve tried to imagine where I would have gone if f'd been a tnurteen-year-old boy who was planning to nin away, and I’m a perfect blank. Oh. I to hope nothing naa happened to him!" Jenny waa worried, although she tried to keep a serene face ter her friend, ft there had been toms dreadful quarrel at breakfast, or it there had been aaftblng at school to upset him. she eoutd Mve understood R better. But to go off like thts without a word without any apparent reason beyond the continuous one ot maladjustment — She left sure that Dick" Add run away, that he bad not met with any accident She said. “Don’t do anything tor a few hours, anyhow. Give him a chance to come back. Boys often do, you know. They give tn to the impulse of the moment, and then later they're sorry they did. It they can come home again without too much ftna being made. It’s easier all firouflS." "IH ask Mrs Folsom again.* Elsa said. «tly half listening. "He might Have goni there by now, he's so craxy about that dog." She went down the steps wearily, and Jenny stared after her, her brows kntt tn thought , Thts waa unfortunate. She had been ao sure that things were working out at the Torres. Why. the very tact that Elsa would make breakfast waffles for Dick's sake showed what an effort sbe was making. Jenny waa not ao Convinced about Peto. He had a regrettable tendency to walk away from any situation which du tressed him emotionally, and she wondered now ft Dick was not doing the name thtng. She went back to the kitchen. It was a frosty December night. Natalie and Brent had gone to the movies, and Jenny had found it impossible to sit alone In the Bvmg room with ao company but the evening paper. She had moved Abcut Che lower floor restlessly, hpc played a ftjtle. at the bld square piano, but her mood wda not happy enough for muste and she soon left that. She missed Ghillie. He would have trotted beside bee, his nails clicking on the polished floor, tala wise old eyes anxiously fixed upon her In love and sympathy. At last she had decided to make eookiea Cookies kept you busy. And a big batch would take over two hours. Sbe glanced now at the oven thermometer. While she had been talking to Elea It had crept up too far. so she opened the oven door, then act about spooning out the oatmeal mix and dropping It on the cookie sheet.
