“In fact, become a tramp for at least a month,” concluded the doctor. Young Wayne Gilbert had carried ut an enterprise in real estate that ad taken nerve and hard work, and ft its conclusion he found himself shaky. His appetite was gone, he had a touch of insomnia, and every ac- quaintance he met gave him the same advice: “Go to a doctor and then follow his advice.” The doctor advised a country highways. “Take little or no money,” he con- tinued. “In fact, look like a tramp, feel like a tramp and be a tramp for the time being.” Mr. Gilbert left the office sne« the advice given him, but aft or two he came to look at it in ¢ ferent light. Oh, yes, there fs ror ing, and when it is r nmen doctor, his advice ould be Young Gilbert came to t of it after a couple of forth. One summer's afternoon twenty and her mot! on the veranda of a ing on a prominent girl was reading—the others we ing. Of a sudden the reader ! her book, ros te look down the road. “Looking for anybody, Dora?” ied the mother. “It's a tramp coming, “But don't tramp over nee in quer- I you encou him to come in here,” protested t eee] dreamed the other night that a tramp | to whom I was kind rewarded me by cutting my throat, and I don't want it to prove a true dream.” “Dora always pities every tramp that comes mother. “But she shouldn't. ready to rob and murder. to stop here, Dora?” along,” the apologized “He is sitting down to rest. I be- lieve he is il.” That tramp was Wayne Gilbert. He had given the doctor’s prescription a fair trial, and he was more than ready to abandon it. While limping along he had been overcome with dizziness and realized that he was going to be ill. He sat on the grass with his back to the fence when a girl suddenly ap- peared before him. “Are you ill?” she asked. “I fear I am going to be,” he an- swered. “You—you don’t look like most of the tramps that come along here.” “Because I am not a tramp. I have been walking the highways by a doc- tor’s advice. I have money and pa- pers that will identify me. I am go- ing to try to reach the railroad. If I can't do it—" And the world whirled around him and he fainted away. The mother and aunt came running down in response to Miss Dora's cries, and a farmer who had been to town stopped his team. “We must get him to the house,” said the girl. “If you do, I'll leave it!” exclaimed the aunt, who was a visitor there. “We had better get this farmer to take him to town, where he can be cared for,” whispered the mother. “We shall do no such thing! He shall be cared for in our own house. He is not a tramp. He told me that he had money and papers.” The patient was put to bed, and it was the opinion of the doctor that he would have to stay there a couple of weeks. In reply to the query as to whether he thought the youpg man & tramp, he laughingly replied: “Not any more than I am. The chances are that he lives in a city, and was recommended by a doctor to try tramping to bulld himself up.” Miss Dora searched the clothing and found money and papers. She and her father and mother were satisfied. As was to have been expected, the fever was much higher the next morn- ing, but the doctor was not worried. “We'll break it up in three or four days,” he said to Miss Dora, “and then you will come in with your chicken soup and kind words and heip him get well. Last night I tel hed to some of the addresses given in his pa- pers, and the replies say that he a fine young man, and charge me to give | him every attention. He will be my patient and your hero.” “But heroes come with steed and sword and lance, don't they?” she laughed. “Not always. to be stumbled over in the bushes, The lad doesn’t like a hero now, but give chance.” It was two weeks before Wayne could sit on the veranda, and a careful nurse sat with him. It was only when he was able to walk in the orchard that the aunt said to Her sister: “Josephine, I believe those two are \n love.” “So do I,” was replied. “You do!” “Yes, and so does John.” “and what are you going to do about it?” “Nothing.” “Well, I am.” And she walked out and gave ‘Gilbert her hand and sald: . | “My | brother-in-law, Jake Sharp. ‘says I've made a fool of myself, and ‘if you'll forgive me, I'll be your aunt by marriage any time you and Dora ‘Say the word.” Copyright, 1917, by per Sy I have known them blackberry look much him a Mr. the McClure News" ndicate.) and shaded her eyes | to laiers are the part of the nurse’s aide. | Gently reared high school girls who zt present do no dishwashing, scrub- bing end cooking, desiring to serve their country perhaps think of Red |Cross work. = If they volunteer they soon are dis- jiilusioned.

Little fun does a boy get out of baseball or tennis, etc., if the ball in its flight is just a misty haze. In fact, few of the active, healthy out-door pleasures are open to those whose eye-sight is defective A play, or a musical program cannot be entertaining to those who can’t see well, or who suffer agonizing eye strain. Don't deprive yourself of all the good times of life or confine your boy or girl to a “molly coddle” existence, simply because de- fective eyesight is permitted to go uncorrected. Glasses properly prescribed and fitted will open up a world of pleasure to those whose defective eyes darken their life. - , Be sure about your eyes, or the children’s eyes, by having them examined regularly by one who is competent and reliable, Accuracy is the basis of all work here.
