Jim beiping her, and both turned pectant, interested faces to me wher I entered. That my emphatic cau- tion concerning giving out any infor- mation as to our movements, even to the Ticers, had excited their curios- ity and their imagination was plain, but even voluble Katie put no question to me. “I'm sorry work, Katie,” 1 to interrupt your said, “but will you please go across the road and bring Mamie back with vyou if you can?

It was but a few minutes before Katie returned with Mamie in tow. But therc was neither curfosity nor excitement in Mamie's eyes.

Behold your peril, and by prayer and reparation set yourselves to avert it whiles yet it may be time. Within the Parish of 8t Giles this week lie thirty dead of this dread pestilence, ten in St. Clement’s and as many in St. Andrew's, Holborn. These are but warnings. Slowly but surely the plague is creeping upon the city. As Sodom of old was de-| stroyed, so shal!l this modern Sodom perish, unless you rouse yourselves, and cast out the evil that is amongst you.” Holles moved on.

Holles checked, and turned to find himself gravely regarded by this stranger. “Either you are Randal Holles, or else the devil in his shape.” Then Holles knew him--a ghost out of his past, as he was, himself, a ghost out of the past of this other; an old ftriend, a brother<in-arms of the days of Worcester and Dunbar, “Tucker!” he cried, “Ned Tucker And impulsively, his face alight, he | held out his hand, The other gripped it firmly, “L muyst have known you any. where, Randal, despite the change that time has grought.” “It bas wrought changes in your- self as well. But you would seem to have prospered!” The Colonel's face was rejuvenated by a look of al- most boyish pleasure. “Oh, 1 am well enou er. “And you?” "As you sec.” The other's grave dark eyes con- There fell a silence, an awkward puuse between these two, cach of whom desired to ask a hun- dred questions.

K’ZLIFF‘ORD C. ROBINSON ABDOMINAL INJURIES When a careful study is made of the human figure one is struck with the adequate protection afforded against injuries. The cranium (head) which contains the brain, is securcly boxed. The thorax or chest covers the heart and lungs, also carefully pro- tected by the barred structure of the ribs, But when we come to the lower di- vision of the trunk, we find that the abdominal viscera _are only protected by the walls of comparatitely soft tissue. Practically all of the abdominal viscefa are easily open to outside at- tacks, Abdominal injuries may result from a great variety of causes. The first class are termed subcutaneous, in- cluding contusions. The sccond are open wounds, , SBubcutaneous injurics may be con- fined to the abdominal wall or there may be lesions of the viscera also. Open injurics may be contined to the abdominal wall without penctrating it, or they may simply penetrate the ab- domen, without injury to the viscera, or there may be a prolapse or a wound of the viscera, One of the chief preventive meas- ures n guarding the abdominal vis- cera from injury is careful body posture both in stunding and sitting. organs are not restricted by improper posture, they will be strong and healthy in repelling any injury, as well a8 aiding in rapid recovery. If the muscles are loose and flabby through lack of proper posture and exereise, their defense is practically nil. Abdominal-injuries may ™ just as serious when inflicted by oneself as though by an open knife wound or serious blow, kick or fall, Avoid sud- den action, in stretching or trying to reach your full limit.” Injuries to the Kkldneys, a rupture or serious impair- ment to the other abdominal organs ure often the result of such careless- ness, SORE LUNGS A cold on the lungs is a forerunner of pneumonia, und it neglected may Jead to consumption, Such a cold is like a smouldering fire in a cellar; either may burst into a flame any time and consume the hody or the house.
