{ Love’s bers Lillisa Questions Junior Absut the Tvansvanians At Lillian's oddly hesitant request to talk with Junior alone for & minute, my sub-consciousness Hlu- mined my memory, and I realized that it was she who had caught her breath when the red-bearded man - stopped short at the sight of us and disappeared in the undergrowth. Ot coutse, 1 realized also the reason for .her request. Lillian never for- gets a face or figure onco she has scen it, and 1n her secret work for the government she has been Lrought in contact with many du- bious characters whom it has been her business to file away in her memory. That she either had scen this man or some one of whom he strongly reminded her was patent, and knowing her methods of work, T knew that she wished to question Junior about the red-bearded man's appearance and manner of speech while the boy's memory was still fresh. “Of course,” I acquiesced instant- ly. “Junior, go with Aunt Lillian. But'den't let Patsy get away again!” He made a dive for the frolicking puppy and caught him tightly in his arms. “He won't get away from me this time,” be said stoutly, and I led the way back to the car I had left at the entrance 0 the woodland path. | Marion and Katherine were as silent as [, and I guessed that their relief at tinding Junlor safe was, like inine, too great for idle speech. But Katle’s joy was voluble. It also was infused . strongly with a ludicrously triumphant air. “Vot T tell you?" ahe sald stri- dently.” “I say dose Transvanian mens got heem und day did." “It was a good thing they did, Katie.,” 1 sald reprovingly. “He might have been lost of he hadn't come to their house. And the man was bringing him back home."” “Sure!” Katie retorted loftily. Jumper Uses His Long Heels If we will but the truth confess Each some advantage doth possea. ~—Jumper the Hare Now, you wouldn't think that Jumper the Hare possessed any ad- vantages, would you? There are times when he thinks he hasn’s any advantages at all. There are times when he thinks that Old Mother Nature hasn’t treated him fairly. Why, even little Shadow the Weasel can kill him, or could if he couldy catch him. Did you notice that “if”? If Jumper wouldn't lose his head Shadow never could catch him. You see, Jumper's advantage over others is a pair of long heels. While Shadow the Weasel and Billy Mink were quarreling in the most sijly way as to which of them Jumper: the Hare belonged Jumper the Harp was settling the question. It just happened that Jumper was just back of a little hemlock tree only & few jumps from where Shad- ow and Billy Mink were spitting and snarling at each other and quarrel- ing. Until he heard them begin to quarrel he hadn’t known that they were on his trail. The chances are that had Billy Mink not come along just when be did 8hadow the Wea- sel would have surprised and killea Jumper. Or it Shadow hadn’t been in the way Billy Mirk weald - have surprised and caught and Killea Jumper.

But Katherine called a Rhalt when she thought Junior had eaten all he should. “I don't want to set up a hospital ward,” the little purse said, .nd obediently we lett the bushes and climbed inte the car. But all the way back to the farm- house my curiosity kept prodding me with the question: ‘What had Lillian discovered about | the red-bearded man?

She goes with Staley to & party at Sue Cain's, where she be- comes tipsy and ill. Staley hires & trained nurse for her and comes to spend a boring evening. At the end of it Lily decides that, money or no money, she cannet stand him, and decides to go home to Pat if he will take her back. As she comes to this determination the door bell rings loudly. A NOW GO ON WITH THE BTORY CHAPTER XLIX The nurse came running down the re. . “I'll answer the door,” she sald quickly to Lily. “You get into the other room—out of the cold air.” She had a erisp, commanding way of speaking, apd Lily, who never had obeyed anybody, fairly jumped when she spoke and hurried into the living room. She heard the squeak of the front door as the nurse opened ft. Then she caught the sound of & man's voice, and then a thud and & bump. The door closed. “Mrs. France!” called the nurse, after a moment, “‘your trunk is here, Do you want me to sign for it?" ““Iy trupk—" Mpystitled, Lily walked out into the hall. There, In the center of the big blue-and-gold Chinese rug that was | the pride .of her mother's heart, {stood a small green tin trunk. The second that Lity set eyes upon it Lily know that it was Pat's liiile trunk. For months she had heen dusting it off every day when she straightened up the house. It had stood beside Pat'a bed and he had used it s & sort of smoking stand. “But what’s in §t?" she wondered. Surely he had not sent her the rest of the clothes she had left at home. The cheap bungalow aprons and lisle-thread stockings that she had bought since her marriage. It was not locked, and then and there, with the eyes of the nurse upon her, she knelt down and un- strapped it, The first thing she saw was 8 big green glass bottle of bath salts on the very top of the cheap clothes that were packed within in neat piles. And tucked into corners were all the other tollet things that Staley Drummond had given her— the perfumes, the brushes, the kit of manieuring scissors and files, the ' jars of powder. |~ *“He's sent back everything that ! could remind him of me,” Lily waid | to herselt. That was exactly what he had done. | He had sent back not only her old clothes, and her run-down , house slippers, but the very movie ! magazine that she had been reading ‘and a cheap hot water bottle that be had bought for her one night when she had had the backache {from a hard day’s cleaning. Looking at it Lily remembered how gentle and tender he had been that night. . . . Yes, he had been | nice sometimes, Pat could be s ‘ much more adorably nice than any- body clse on earth, she kept think- ing, as she blinked hard to keep tack the tears. “Shall we carry it upstairs? 1| think we can. It's very light,” the nurse suggested, and Lily nedded her head. | She might just as well have ft upstairs, put away in the trunk- | room with all the rest of the dusty old boxes and suitcases and broken | trunks that stood there year after year, she decided. “For I'll never go back to him after this,” she was syre. “This is the last straw as well as the one ! that broke the camel's b This |15 the end—when he makes it as' | plain as this that he hates me! | When even the sight of my maga- zines and water bottle is unbearable to him!" { i ' | At the end of January, when Mr. and Mrs. Lexington came back from | Hot Springs, Lily was as much at' home in the old house as she ever had been in the days before her| amazing marriage!

Beautiful fingers they were, pointed and white, with nalls of laoguercd coral. In the month that had just passed all their biisters and callouses had practically disappeared, and they were smooth and white once more. “What happened,” Lily explained, gotting out of her chair, “was just | what you said would happen. and I couldn’t get along. We fought all the time, and—so I came home to you and Dad. Do you mind?" Mrs. Lexington simply raised her | eyebrows, and looked coldly inditfer- ent. 8he turned her head presently and called over her shoulder: “Cy! Please come in here & minute.” There was @ moment's pause while Mr. Lexington paid the taxicab man !in the hall, and then he came limp- . ing into the room. | "Why, Dad, what's the matter?” 'Lily asked anciously, but he just laughed off the idea that there might possibly be something wrong with him, | “Just old age,” he said humorous- ily, and then bent over her and ssed her on both of her cheeks. had a touch of rheumatism.” “Well, well, so our Baby Girl came back,” he went on, patting her head just as or five years old. “And as soon as we heard ahout it we came home post-haste—'* His wife turned on him furiously angry in a second. “That's right, start coddling and petting her again!” she advised him with sar- casm in her voice and her lar, featured face. *‘You spolled her be. fore, and just see how she dis- graced us!" Her cold eyes went up and down her daughter. “Are you really here tc stay now?” she asked sharply. “Because if you have any aotion of ever going back to that fellow we aren’t going to keep you here.and let you run up a lot of bills. I'll just bet anything that you charged that dress you have on to your father—" i Lily laughed. “Oh, no, you've fixed it so I can't charge anything to my father,” sl answered serenely. “Please don't think that I didn't try to do it because I did—and failed, derling mother.” She was ijust as full of sarcasm as Mrs. Lex- ington was. at times. Her father began to look .uneasy as he always did when the women | of his family had * words. ‘Now, now, let’s not bring that up,” said briskly. “Our girl's back home and that's all that matters—" “It {8 NOT all that matters!” his : wife contradicted him with spin, “It she's here to stay, well and good. But if she's here just long enough to get a lot of new things and then make it up with that France and go back to live with him, it's a white horse of another color.” Her cyes were on the black cloth dress that Lily wore—one of those marvelously simple dresses that cost three times as much as the fussy | ones. Staley had let Lily have the money to buy it, and Lily had promised 10 pay him, knowing per- | fectly well that she never would. But she did not tell her mother that. She let her think anything she wanted to think as she got up and walked grandly out of the reom, her chin in the air. “It T want to go back to Pat it's my own affair,” she sald to herself, and all at once she knew that she wanted to do it. Even now, after he had sent back all her clothes to her as if he never wanted to see her again. Even now, after this month of silence. The longing to see him rushed over her like homesickness. She threw herself down across the lace- draped bed in her own room with her face burfed in the pillowa, too miserable to cry. 8he heard the docr open and her mother came across the room to her. She bent over “er with a creaking of the old-fashioned corsets that she wore and put her arms around her. “My dearest, T didn't mean to scold you tha first minute 1 saw you,” she said, holding her clobe fo her silk-covered bosom. “Don’t ery tike this — Mother and Daddy are just afraid you'll go hack to that boy again. You'll have to forgive us Pat | 1t she were atill four | he ! 're & little harsh—" “I'm not crying!” The girl sat bolt upright, her eyea brilliant ana without a sign of a tear. She smiled & little, “You weren't very welcom- ' ing, were you? But that didn't! me. . . . It was what you | said about my going back to Pat| that bothered me—"" *Oh, nonsense, I know you're not going back to him!" she sald, mis- understanding Lily completely. “Only, as I sald before, it does worry your father and me a little to your duty to live with him, and make yourseif unhappy thinking that you weren't doing your duty if you stayed here with us.” Lily scarcely listened to her as she rambled on. “I'm going home to Pat!" she was thinking. “He can't do any more than throw me out on my ear!” 8he had no reason for going ex- | cept this feeling that was like | | romesickness—this aching longing . to see him that the mere mention of his name had brought to her. “And how is Staley? Do you see him?" asked Mrs. Lexington, bright- | ly, and then added in a sad and melancholy tone. “Poor fellow.” “I've scen him every day for & ‘month,” Lily answered. “Until the very sight of him makes me woosy all over.” Her mother shook her head. “That's not a very nice way to talk about & fine chap like Staley.

Lexington pooh-poohed that. | Eaitor In recent years the fact has been generally accepted that the admin- istration of iodine in small doses to growing children is of importance in the vention of simple goiter, particularly in districta such as the lake districts in the United States, in which there is little fodine in the soll, A German investigator, Hunsiker, found that there had been definite increases in the heights and weights of boys and girls who had been given the jodine treatment, mak- ing them superior in growth to boys and girls who had not been treated. Dr. Percy Stocks, medieal statis- tician 1n the University of Lendon, has {investigated the record of boys and girls in Switzerland who had slso recelved fodine regularly. ‘The records of the Swiss achool children were especially detailed and sccurate so that the statistical investigation was quite complete. As a result of the study of more than 1,000 girls in the secondary schools of Berne, Switzerland, Dr. Stocks concludes that the regular administration of fodine to girls between the ages of 11 and 16 fs efficlent not- only {n. reducing the aize and incidence of goiter, but also in Increasing the rate of growth in both height and weight.-~ ‘The latter effect was greater in girls with an initial goiter and Dr. Stocks belleves was due to over- coming actlon toward retarded growth that may be associated with goiter in districts where this dis- turbance is very great. 8he had taken off the expensive tack dress that she had bought with Staley Drummond's money, | (and she had put on an old light- ‘colored sult that was part of her | trousse 1u. ‘The suitesse was filled with the old things she had brought with her from the little honeymoon fiat, iand she was laying the ' hot-water | bottie on the top of them.
