She was worried, but- she forced herself to be gay. “Everything all right, darling?” “Right as rain. I'll have a check early next week. Busy in the kitchen, she strained her ears to listen for his next move. She heard him go into the studio and rum- mage around in there for a moment. Then he returned to her. * “Is there anything I can do, dear?” She shook her head. *“Not-a thing, not a thing in the world. How do you feel tonight?” She fancied that he was shivering. Anyway he seemed unlike himself. “Tom, darling, you don’t feel right, do you?” ““Of course, I do,” and he forced a laugh, “but let me tell you something, it's cold out. The wind goes right through you. If you don’t really need me, will it be all right for me to go in and lie down until dinner is ready? I don’t know what makes me feel so strange.” She followed him into the studio, where he flung himself on the couch. She brought a blanket to cover him. He dropped almost at once in a heavy sleep. A thick red began to mottle his features. She waited until she was sure he was asleep, then. with cautious fingers she touched his forehead and cheeks. They were burning. An unreasoning panic seized her. He was really ill, then. He must have & fever! very high. Oh, she was frightencd— frightened! She called Dr. Farr. operator seemed an intermin: over the connection. At last it went through. She heard Dr. Farr's kindly, genial voice. Just hearing it gave her confidence. Her voice shook as she told him about Tom, and when he said that he would come right over. zhe breathed a sigh of relief. Minutes to wait that seemed hours! Miss Weston had gone back to her own place. “all me if you need anything,” she said to 2 “And try not to worry. It doesn't do any good anyway, you know.” Outside the_wind whistled against the windows. While she waited for the doctor Nan built a fire in the studio. It would be more cheerful for Tom. Oh, he wasn't going to be really il This was probably an attack of grippe or_something like that. Paper first, plenty of kindling and then the coal. It did cheer things up.

Be-| sides, who could nurse Tom bette than she ? Didn't she love him better thar one in the world The doctor helped Nan to move Tom into the bedroom and remove his clothes. “The air must be quite cold, which means that the window must be left open constantly. 1 would advise you to isolate this room if you can. You can sleep on the couch in the studio, can’t you?”" Tom didn’t know her! She could button his pajama jacket with trembling fingers and his eyelids never flickered, Tom, Tom! She prayed wildly. “Don't take | him away from me, God, don't take him away from me. I love him; I love him?” Darling Tom! Now his flushed face was resting against the pillow. But how awful to hear him breathe like that! She loved him so much. Enough to meet any sacrifice! (Covyright. 1927.) (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) s Spec al Baked Eggs. Cover six eggs with water at the boiling point. Cover the receptacle and let stand on the stove where the water will keep hot without boil- ing for 40 minutes. Drain and let stand in cold water while the eggs are being shelled. Cut the eggs in thick slices. Have ready a cupful of white sauce made of two. table- spoonfuls each of butter and flour, one-fourth teaspoonful each of salt and pepper, and a cupful of white broth or milk or hall of each. Spread a layer of the sauce on a buttered baking dish. then add a few spoonfuls of hot cooked tomatoes have been simmered until quite y. Sprinkle the tomato with two or threc tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, then add a layer of the egg | slices and cover with the other in- gredients in the same order as be- fore. Add the rest of the egg, then the other ingredients and finish with half a cupful of cracker crumbs red into one-fourth cupful of melted butter. Set in the oven just | | the long enough to become very hot and brown the crumbs. She flew upstairs to the apartment over theirs and pressed the bell with fingers that shook. A girl in a smock came to the door. She had a palette on her arm. Nan hardly saw her features, “Have you a thermometer “Yes, I think so; just a minute. Come in, won’'t you? Is anything wrong?” She left Nan in the shadowy studio while she went to investigate. It was a charming place, but Nan's thoughts were with Tom below. When the girl returned carrying the thermometer in a small black case Nan heaved a sigh of relief. Then she remembered that she had never taken any one's tem- perature. How was it done? This strange girl looked at Nan with level eyes. “Can 1 do anything?"” “How do you take a temperature?” Nan asked with shaking lips. “I'll come down,” the girl returned in a businesslike way. The next mo- ment she was following Nan down the stairs. This girl was marvelous. Just to have her in the apartment was a re- lief. With expert fingers she inserted the tiny stem of glass beneath Tom's tongue. She had sat down beside him on the couch as though she had known bhim all her life. Nan stood above her agonizing. She was terrified of fever. The strange girl withdrew the trem- mometer, glanced at it and her very black eyebrows rose. “He's pretty sick. He has a fever of 103, and I don't like the way he's breathing. Better call a doctor right away.” Nan hardly knew how she moved to the telephone. She seemed numb all A hundred and three!

Every time one of your relatives comes to visit us you have to go home and visit them.” Joan said, “Well, you know how hard it is to take a baby on the train when you have no one to watch him for you once in a while. Bill thought he could make the trip so much easfer for me.” I said, “Wonderful Bill. And what about your trip back here again, if I an’t be with you?” and Joan said, What do you mean?” and 1 said, “If you can’t manage the baby alone on n, 1 suppose you'll be bring- ing along another of your relatives to help you on the return trip.” TIn England prominent sportswomen, whose interest in greyhound racing is ved by their ownership of racing include Mrs. Dudley Coats, the , the Hon.

As soon as the old King, Vic- toria’s uncle, had died early in the morning of June 20, 1837, the Arch- bishop of Canterbury and one or two other dignitaries hurried to Kensing- ton Palace, the home of the Princess Victoria. They arrived at 5 in the morning when the pretty little prin- cess was wrapped in sweet sleep. But a few minutes after she had been roused. she came into the room where the archbishop awaited her. She stood there “in a loose, white night- gown and shawl, her nightcap thrown off, and her hair falling upon her shoulders, her feet in slippers, tears in her eyes, but perfectly collected and dignified. Few girls of 18 in the whole world’s history have ever been called to play such an_important and difficult role as was Victo Yet in every girl's life this is a year of peculiar importance.
