He did not see Billy often, but he knew Rilly was always at hapd. Billy was that sort. And forturlately he was wealthy, with an inherited broker- age business well under his thumb. A few vears before. as flying in- structor at Kelly Field, Jimmy had | taught Crane, then a raw recruit, how to fly an airplane: and later, over the lines in France, the two had been together. i It was midafternoon, however, be- | fore he arrived at the Crane residence. | He had spent most of the day in| making his plans.

And telegrams and cables had been dispatched to the far corners of the earth to insure his expeditious passage through various countries. There was still work to be done, however—a great deal. He hoped. as he entered the house, that Billy Crane was at home. He had not too much time to spare. A servant took his hat and stick, but informed him that the mas was not at home. Jimmy frowned You expect him. T suppose. When?" Imost any time, sir. Miss Natalie 18 here—— “Miss Natalie!” Then he remembered. afraid I've never met though——" He broke off. One of the high doors off the big hallway had opened. and framed there stood a girl. Jimmy remembered that Billy had often apoken of his sister: he had, how- | ever, never met her. During every perfod that he had.been in town. the girl had been away at school, and recently, he recalled. she had completed a trip ahout Europe. She came forward with a slow smile. Jimmy noted casually her daz. zlingly white teeth, her very red, voung lips—her cool. slightly amused eves—Strangely understanding and calm brown eves for one so voung, he thought. But that was all.

P. asks the following questions: “What causes a convulsion? How do they act? What is the best remedy?” Convulsions come from various causes. They may be the first indica- tion of some serious illness, scarlet fever, meningitis, pneumonia and so on, or they may be due to some upset in the intestinal tract due to over- feeding or wrong kinds of food. A baby may stuff himself on gingersnaps or-hananas, and while neither food is ir. itself harmful, could be extremely ill because of an overdose of them. Most ordinary convulsions are due to these indiscretions of diet. In a convulsion the child becomes unconscious, his eyes remain open and staring, and every muscle in his body Sometimes he gurgles and the mouth, in a4 manner . This may last for hours or pass in a few moments. In cases where all ordinary methods fail | to end the convulsion one can be | fairly sure that it is of far more seri- | ous origin than just an intestinal upset. One should keep one's head and remember that the chief thing is to bring the blood from the heart to the The child m be put in a tub of hot water (being careful that it is not hot enough to scald the tender skin, as happens when the nervous mother fails to realize that it is a baby she is han- dling nscious he cannot scre: » otherwise indicate the water is too hot).

A cold cloth on the child’s head is beneficial, though sometimes one poor ared mother cannot manage every- alone. ike the baby out and wrap in a Keep the cold-iced cloth on the child’s head, but keep the bhody warm. If the convulsions have ended the next step is to give 4 cool enema, the cool water helping to bring down the fever and also clear the lower intestine. If the baby can swaflow give a dose of castor oil. Call the doctor if this has not already been done Keep the baby quiet and in bed. | Give no food but hoiled water, no | matter what the child’s age, until the doctor has seen him. If tie convul- ion has been due to an injudicious diet the baby will be all right. If a child shows a tendency to frequent convulsions the mother should ask the doctor to prescribe | some medicine to keep the fever down | until she can attend to the enema and | physic and check the convulsion. The | more convulsions a child has, the more likely he is to have them, and this type of child, if neglected, may deveiop a far more serlous ailment.

He was a slightly older and slightly more corpu- lant Billy Crane than Jimmy last re- membered, and he was glad, vaguely, that he had never gone into business. “I've got to see you, Billy—pronto,” he announced, when the greetings were over.
