Neither of them had a black eye. “Connie,”” demanded John W. Brook, “are you resolved to marry this man? “Yes, father.” “If 1 forbid you to do so?" “Yes, daddy dear.” Mr. Brooke drew a deep breath and looked at H. Hedge “Doesn’t it beat the band how stubborn some people are?” he sald. “And she's not twenty-one yet.” He Dit off the end of a clgar and fumbled in his pockets for a match. “I hlame you very largely for this, Connle,” he said in a stern voice. “I've been hearing about what happened in this house. It seemed that you three children did all you could to upset the plans I made for you." “Oh, they were all right,” inter- rupted H. Hedee hastily. “Don't interrupt me, sir. T know as much®about it as you do. Of course, 1 was a fool to think it could he done. But at the very least I didn’t expect my own flesh and blood to rise up against me. It's un- fillal. I'm disappointed—aggrieved— upset. You've gotten me and your- selves in a hole—but I'm the one that has to pull you all out.

The hunter who had s had been so startled by Buster that Il talk- | he had forgotten to shoot, knew that | o Lie was not at all likcly to have an- other chance that day or for many days. Hunting for Buster Be would be a waste of time. So he de- cided that he would just tramp around as silently as he could and trust to luck that he would surprise | some one else. Perhaps he might {8et a shot at Yawler the Bob Cat tor at Reddy Fox or Lightfoot the Deer. He would prefer Lightfoot. So, with his gun ready for instant that hunter moved wly irough the Green Forest. He set cach foot down with the greatest care S0 as not to step on a dry He fook care that against him kept his ears twig and snap 1o brush should s a noise, know cnough to be thought the hunter open for every little sound and his eyes peered sharply in every direction. He was hunting as only a good hunte n hunt. From time to time tesfed the wind so as to keep it always blowing to- ward him. In that way his scent would not be carried to any of those he was hunting for. But with all his care he saw o ing thing at h to shoot. It as just there were no little in the Green Forest It still as ‘only the Green Forest can be at times. Not even er the Red Squirrel appea to scold him.

But in this he was mistaken. The truth was. Prickly Porky knew too much to be afrald. He knew that | hunter wouldn't shoot | kept right on with his business, which was to strip the bark from that little poplar tree, But if that hunter thought there as no one about he was mistaken. He himself was being hunted. He 4idn't know it, but it was so. The | little people of the Green Forest llwnw that it is easier to avoid dan- ger When you know where dan- | ger is. Even Buster Bear himself | was eager to know what that hunt- er was about, 80 as soon as he had { recovered {rom his fright he be- | gan to hunt for that hunter. He | began by moving silently in a big | cirele until the Merry Little | Breezes tickled his nose with the | man scent. Then he made a face, | showed all his teeth, growled to | himselt and started to follow up | that scent until his nose told him that he was near enough to that hunter. Lightfoot the Deer did very much | the same thing, only he stole for- | ward to where he could see that hunter and just what he did and at the same time keep out of Bus-| ter Bear's way. Even Yowler the Bob Cat, keeping to the thickest and darkest thickets, crept along as only a cat can, watching every move that hunter made. Sammy Jay fol- lowed silently through the tops of the trees and Blacky the Crow | perched in the tops of high trees | from which he could see some distance through the Green Forest. | In a way they were all hunting that hunter, They were keeping track of | him so that no one would unsus- pectingly give him a chance to use that terrible gun. | There were times when that hunt- er had a feeling that he was be- ing watched. He didn't know why ?’he had that feeling, but he did have it. Then he would stand still for the | 16ngest time and listen with all his might and look with all his might. But with all his listening and all his looking he heard and saw none | 6f the little people. little birds came near him.

It's 4 sort of union scale for general superintendents, ¥ hope he hasn't lied to me about it. Anyhow, I'm going to pay the scale.” “Father—you darling!" And Constance embraced him. “I notice I didn't get the hug untll I came out with the price,” sighed John W. Brooke. “This is a mercenary world, cven inside my own house.” “E. E,” sald Constance, “don't you think my fathe man in the world?" | “Think s0? I can prove {t." | “Cut out the diplomatic language,” | ordered Mr. Brooke. “J know when I'm stung. The pair of you put it over on me. I may have let out & fow roars, but you haven't heard me squeal. “Now, Hedge, or whatever your name is, 1 wish you'd beat it down- | stairs and find my son, Billy, end tell him his old man is up here, and for him to come up and get what's coming to him. And chase Horace [ up, if you can find him, and tell him to get out my dress-suit.” “You're coming down to | party?” cried Constance. | “Haven't I a right to go to a party lin my own house?" demanded her father. “I have to pay for it.” H. Hedge seized the daughter of the house, whirled her about the room, kissed her, and departed on | his errand. “Father, dear,” said Constance. “I dislike slang, but—isn't he a bird?" | “He's a high-priced bird,” grum- | bled Mr. Brooke. “Well, you sent him here yourself, | father dear. 1 had nothing to do with {t." John W. Brooke considered his daughter's observation and found unexpected consolation in f{t. “Viewing it from that angle, Con- nie,” he sald, “I think it is only fair to give me credit for picking a live one." It was a little later that H. Hedge and Connie met in the lower hall, ‘“Where were you, E.

Publle Health Service Strictly speaking, a varicose vein means “a dilated vein"-—a condition of veins which occurs most frequent- ly in those veins which are farthest from the heart and which occupy a dependent position, Varicose veins are found most often in the legs and thighs and lower parts of the body. Any con- dition which hinders the free return of the blood from the veins to the heart is apt to cause a permanent dilation of the vein. The trouble at the outset is usually a mechanical one, Offten some unusual pressure on the veins of the abdomen dams up the blood, ‘When varicose veins occur in the left leg constipation is a frequent cause of the condition, Partial ob- struction of the bowels leads to the dilation of the veins with a thinning and weakening of the wall of the blood vessels. These blood vessels, which carry the blood from the feet to the heart, |you understand, are carrying such a column of blood that it forms a constant load. If anything occurs to increase the weight of this load, such as the exertion of undue pres- Isure on any part of the veins, the |condition so created will |grow worse |varicose veins will result. tend fo instead of better and Usually the veins which are af- fected are those which run just bee low the skin and outside of the muscles. You can easily understand why this is so when you consider that these vessels have very little support from surrounding tissie, The deeper velns of the leg have tracting musecles constantly tend to force the blood through the veins. These outer veins drain the skin, When pressure is exerted and the blocking takes place the blood hacks {up into the small capillaries of the skin, Since the tissue is nourished by the blood stream, it follows that the cells do not get their usual sup- ply of food. As a yesult of this, the skin itself bDecomes thigk and soft, very much Jike wet blotting paper. The limb gets much larger than it should be and it not infrequently happens that some day a bruise that would not under ordinary eircum- stances cause any inconvenience does in a case of this kind break down [the weakened skin cells and results |in a varicose ulcer. Any condition fwhich hinders the return of the blood from the veins is apt to cause varicose veins, Thus you can see that the veins of the leg, which sio frequently de- velop into this condition, are those which may have been retarded by the wearing of tight garters. Some- (times the trouble is due to a direct injury, which, by setting up an in- flammation, has wecakened the coats of the veins to such an extent that they yield to the pressure of the blood stream, Careful examination of varicose veing has shown that such veins increase in length as well as in ca- pacity. In some parts of a varicose vein the walls become thick, in oth- jer parts—where dilation is greatest |—the walls are very thin. Veins af- |tected in this way are usually pain- ful and are, moreover, liable to at- tacks of inflammation. Inflammation of this king may end in the formation of blood clots. This is a dangerous condition, as a sud- den, violent movement is apt to cause the detachment of a piece of clot. This in turn may be ecarried to the brain or to the lungs and may cause sudden death. Occasionally these dilated veins rupture and a more or less mevere bleeding occurs. This, as a rule, is not dangerous to life and a slight pressure will stop the bleeding, but one rupture of this kind usually causes much anxlety and fear of re- {currence, A recurrence does not necessarily happen. The direct treatment of varicose veins {8 mechanical and Itke all oth- er things medical there {s basicaly {nothing mysterious about it. The exercise of that quality, misnamed “‘common’ sense, when troubls starts will correct the condition. Now, the common sense {dea, that to avold varicose veins you should relieve the pressure on the enlarged veins, should occur to almost a; one. Allow the clrculation to be- come normal agaln and the skin and other tissues of the leg will shrink back to normal size. In mild cases, a rest in bed with the affected part ralsed on pillows sometimes accom- plishes desired results. If constipation is the cause, how- ever, efforts should be made te over- come this condition. The wearing of an elastle stocking or a suitabls elastic bandage purchased on the ad- vice of a physician usually brings rellef. Tn some cases a wurgical operation s advisable.
