Love’s Embers Adele Garrison™s Al “Revelations a N Madge Discovers That Junior Pos- | seases His Father's Traits For a bewildered second or two following Junior's query concerning the “flying rock things,” 1 gazed at my small son, wondering what he could mean. Then with a mingling of amusement and irritation I r membered a couplet which Dicky and sometimes Lillian were wont to quote when I had persistently ad- Bered to some dectsion. *“Come onc, come all, shall fly From its firm base as soon as 1.” I never had minded either my Rusband’'s or my friend's teasing, but Junior's question, ‘based, as 1 knew {t must be, upon his over- hearing of his father's badinage found an unsuspected crevice in, wy armor and pierced it. But I kept my voice at the same judicial pitch which it had held when decreeing his punishment. 4 *“Yes, this is decidedly a ‘flying rock,'” thing I told him. *I mean that you must not go out of the door yard alone for a week. And you know,” I added sternly, at teasing me will mean.” “Sure I know,” my small son an- | swered promptly, “more days 1n | every time I tease. But I wasn't teasing. I was only asking a ques- " this rock “ know that” I aasured him | promptly. “And I have answered it. Now run along and get ready for luncheon.” He turned his back and marched | eout of the room, ludicrous offended | dignity in every line of him. I re- | mained where I was standing, for 1 knew that our little fnterview was | net yet ended. Burely enough in another half minute I heard his| feet pounding back along the cor- ridor. Then he dashed into the room and flung himself upon me. “I'm not mad. I'm sorry!” he exclaimed in a ritual of his own de- vising, which generally ends a dis- ciplinary session with him. “Do you love me lots, Mother 7™ “So many that I can't count| them,” ¥ returned obediently, and | By Thomton W. Burgess The Hunter Is Hunted Those who hunt must sometimes flce; | *Tis Justice that it thus should be. —Mother West Wind Billy Mink s both hunter and fisherman. He is more of a fisher- man than hunter, but still at times he loves dearly to hunt. You see, Billy likes a change of diet. Fieh is all very well, but one does get tired of it sometimes, When this happens Billy turns to meat. To get meat he must hunt for it. I suspect that it isn't just the de- #ire for meat alone that turns Billy te hunting. I suspect that he en- Jnys the hunt. In fact, I know he does. Hunting 14, you know, a sort of game. It i8 2 game in which wits | eount for more than swift| or wings. Billy Mink has keen | ‘wita. Having keen wits, he likes to use them and #0 keep them keen. §o | every once in a while Billy goes Runting, and he sometimes goes far | from the Laughing Brook. | You will remember that Billy haa | been hunting Jumper the Hare. | ‘When he found that Jumper had outwitted him Billy promptly started | ot to look for some one clse to ! hunp. It eccurred to him that he | might find Chatterer the Red Squir- | rel. As you know, Chatterer often comes down on the ground. Prob- | ably what made Billy think of Chatterer was the aound of Chatter- | er's voice in the distance. So Billy | promptly headed in that direction. Billy was only about halt way to | where he could hear Chatterer's | voice when he suddenly stopped and | mt up to look back along his own | trail. Why he should have done this | he couldn't have eald. Something in- side warned him that he was being | followed. It was just a fecling, but | that feeling was a warning. For a | couple of minutes Billy sat thers, | looking back along his trail test- | ing every merry little breeze that wandered his way and listening to every gound. He saw nothing smelled nothing suspicious. H heard nothing suspicious. “Pooh!” | said he. “There's no one following me. I don’t know who would be like- | 1y to follow me, anyway." | So Billy turned and resumed his | way, But all the time he was un-| casy. Every now und again he, would turn his head to look back. | Two of three times he stopped. bach time he told himsslf there was roih- ing. Yet all the time inside there was that fecling and Billy knew from experience that that fecling was not to be disregarded. At last a bit of snow dropping from a tree canght Billy's attentio as he looked pa- then y caught his breath ad caught a glimpse of a hig hrown form run ning swiftly down the back of that tree. It was a form not @ilike L% own, only much larger My cousin, Spite the gasped Billy. “He most down from the ( has no busin Forest.

But he loft with me a queer uneasiness which drove me i to the shelter of my own room, | where, behind locked doors, 1 sat down, and imitating my edict to Junior of a half hour before, held |an interview with my own soul. | My small son's quoting of his ! father’s comment upon me was like | the sudden flashing of an electric lamp into a long unilluminated cor- ner. Was it possible that in this half-humorous, half-annoyed recog- nition on my husband’s part of a certain inflexibility of mine lay the key to some of our unhappiness? Other thoughts came thronging, | anxious troubled comparisons. How very like Dicky ljs small son was! So many of his father's traits had shown themselves in the little epl- sode just concluded. Junior had heen as reckless of definite bound- darics as his father was of approved conventions. Both were generous to \ fault, impulsive and forgetful of | selt in serving and protecting some- | thing weaker than themselves. Both resented restraint or criticism, but both were royal in impulsive repent- ance and “making up” differences. 1 had failed completely in my re- lations to my husband. T faced that fact with a ruthless tearing away of selt-deceiving veils. 1 faced an- other possibility with rising terror. Would I be unable through the crm- ing years to keep intact the won- derful relationship with my small son which was now mine? It Dicky had come into my room at that minute of panic T think that I should have forgotten the tragedy which lay between us, and have thrown mys:lf into his arms in a wild appeal to begin all over again. | A later, sanor reflection strength- ened by the remembrance of Lil- lian's warning concerning just such | an emotional reaction as T was now experiencing, stoadied me and made | PISton-ring, and he and his friend. | me realize that I must wait and |RO¥ Jetterson, rent a tiny shop| watch warily for developments be- | Where they manufacture tho new | fore changing my outward attitude | Fing: Pat works thres or four nights toward iy hiEand. a week, not only in the shop but | Copyright, 1928, Newspaper helping in Roy's garage, and Lily Ronbiive: Bearvice ¥nc, finds life very dull and uneventful. However she atill §s in love with Pat land is very jealous of his former | sweetheart, Elizabeth Erta. One day Lily meets her friend, Sue Cain, downtown and she asks her to & party. Lily wants some new clothes, and appeals to Staley who gives her his own check to pay for them. Florence France, Pat's sister. | is bookkeeper in the clothes shop, | sces the check, and later on when | Lily and Pat quarrel she tells Pat | about ft. Lily goes home to her father's house to find that he has had some business losses and that her mother and sho will have to do all the housework and economize a great ! deal. Staley is devoted to her, but | Lily begins to long for Pat: 8he goes | to see him and he thinks she has come because of a newspaper article on the automobile page that told all about his La France piston ring. Lily has not even scen the article | and says 5o, but he docs not believe | "her. Elizabeth Ertz is at the apart- ment, apparently helping Pat with his housework and although ! Lily gees her there she does mnot question Pat about her. She goes | home and tries to be contented with life there. On the night before Sue | Cain's secret marriage to Jack | Eastman, the pair and herself go | with Staley to his house to “cele- brate” the event. Staley tells . her ! that a better piston ring than Pat's | has just been put on the market | and that he is thinking of putting some of his money into the new company. ! NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER LIII She waited for Staley to say some. thing more about the piston ring. But he did not. He just went on pouring out the champagne into the | thin shallow glasses carcfully, never { spilling a drop. “If there is a better ring on the market than his, it won't be such a howling success, will #t?" she asked slowly, “Especially if you put a lot of mancy into the other one.” Staley shruggd his shoulders un- der his perfectly fitting coat. His mouth Iifted the corners of his little blond toothbrush mustache as he smiled to himself.

She was ready for fun and plenty of it—and the wilder it was the botter she was going to like it, s0 she said, getting up to go. But Jack refused to budge. . What could be sweeter than this, he esked. To sit here in Staley's big, warm, comfortable heuse, sunk deep | in a cushioned arm chair, with drinks at his elbow, and the three best pals & man ever had right here with him? Whit could be sweeter, eh? He wanted to know, and Suc couldn’t tell him. “Why, we'r day in advance,” he said to her, and for two hours Lily watched him cel- ebrate it, For two hours he never moved from the depths ot the big Sleepy- hollow chair except when he leaned forward to take another gluss of the Bourbon that he had begun to drink with ginger ale, or to light a cigaret. “If he were anybody but Jack stman, I'd worry about him," Sue said when he finally swayed to lis feet and arnounced that he was ready to go home at half past nine, “But Jack always says that the more he has had to drink the better he can drive his car—and that's the unholy f: “I'll go with you,” Llly told her, getting up from her chair, too. “No, I'll take you,” Staley inter- rupted, firmly. But 1ily was twice as firm as he was. She simply was not going to "be alone with Staley Drummond that night to “talk things over scrious- Iy!"” as he said. She was not ready to talk things over with him. First of all, she nted to think them over herself. all of her evenings be like this one? Either evenings that she spent alone with him, as she had spent the first part of it, or evenings spent drink- ing and talking rubbish with Sue and Jack Eastman or some other couple or couples? 'm going with Sue and Jack,” she said again, positively. “If you drive me home you know we'll talk for two or three hours more—and I dont’ want to. I'm tired. up early this morning and I want to go to bed.” She had risen at half past eight, but that was early for her these days, although it would have been disgracefully late down in the neigh- borhood of tha Jettersons and the France family. And so—as usual—she had her own way about it. She started home with Bue and Jack. How the accident happencd Lily riever knew, Even at the time she did not rear- “Well, that's not why I'm doing it,” he answer:d. “I'm not an old- | fashioned willain, Lily. 1 don’t want to ruin your husband Jjust hecause he is your husband — T probably never will put any money into the | other company anyway.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Jourmal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magasine The Journal of the American ! Medical Association calls attention again to the fact that the broadeast sale of apparatus giving ultra-violet rays is likely to result in harm to the publie. Of course, no harm ean result from the use of ultra.violet colored incandescent lights, such as are used in some barber shops to stimulate the growth of hair. In such cascs the only difficulty fs | that the light is absolutely with- out any effect on the hair and the purchaser gets only the vision of purple for his money. ‘That Are Not Real Neither does this refer to the imitation uiltra-violet ray appara- tus that is sold by some electrical coneerns for home treatmenta, unless the ultra.violet is produced by a carbon arc or by the cireula- tion of the electrical currents through mercury vapor ienclosed in qua wlass there are not any real ultra.violet rays for the pur- chaser, at least not sufficient to have any appreciable effect. It has long been known that practically every apparatus or drug that ‘s powerful for good may also do harm, Nevertheless, the promoters of thesse machines are selling them to bath institutes, swimming pools, massage pariors, beauty pariors and barber shops, where the rays are administered by techniclans whe have never mudied the human body and who have no conceptien of the dan- re. Many large clubs for men, par- ticularly * athletic clubs, have es- tablished ultra-violet rooms with the idca that the tired business man will be rejuvenated and made full of pep by a few minutes of ex- posure to the ultra-violet rays after his exercise or his luncheon. Belentific literature already con- tains the reports of many cases in which the skin has been dam- aged, in which the eyes have been inflamed, in which serious results have occurred due to careless ex- posure to ultra-violet rays. Serious It ts known that persons with fever and low blood pressure sometimes react seriously to expo- sure. In many instances there have been burns of the skin due to the dropping of hot pleces of carbon, and there are some cases reported of persons especially senasitive who have developed se- wvere eruptions after the use eof ultra-violet rays. An energy as potent as this Is should be used only by those who are fully acquainted with its dan- gers as well as with its possibill- ties for good. Life's Niceties Hints on Etiquette L 1.
