Love’s Awakening By Adele Painful Memories of the Past Cou front Lillian as She Ponders Brixton’s Letter stitution from Samuel Brix- ton The words, almost whispered by Lillian, seemed to ring through the room, so charged were they with| amazement and a touch of the su- peratitious terror which ‘the nmi sight of the letter she just had re-| ceived had given her. I never had heard the name, but before opening the letter Lillian had recognized the handwriting as that of an old associate of her first hus-| band, Marion’s father. I could hear yet the way she had said “of— Tom's" as if even after all the years she could not bear to speak the | name of the husband who had made her marriage a mockery and had kept her baby daughter from her during the beautiful years of the child's little girlhood. I knew that everything and everybody connect- ed with that tragic marital experi-| enece was anathema to Lillian, and waited tensely for the explanation which I was sure she meant to give me. If th= had intended to keep he own counsel she would not hav opened the letter before me. | “Samuel Brixton!" Again the name echoed through the room, and then Lillian lifted her head and looked at me. | “You're warranted in thinking I'm just waking up from the gas she eaid with a travesty of a smile quirking her lips. “And it really secms like a fantastic ether vision —this letter. Sam Brixton is the| last man on earth I ever expected to hear from. The last time T saw him was in the first years of my mar- riage to —Tom"—again that curious | hesitating aversion to speaking the name of the man now dead who| once had been her husband, “and | he just had swindled—us—out of a sum of money which at that time | meant the difference between ccm- fert and penury. He and Tom quar- | reled bitterly, and T never have seen | him or his wife since. Poor Helen! ‘ the was not to blame. I know she | syffered terribly because of it. but she could do nothing And now after all these years of silence comes this letter! Read it please—aloud— Farmer Brown's Boy Discovers ‘Whitey BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Try the best that you can do To use the senses given you. —Bowser the Hound. It some time since Farmer Brown's Boy had visited the dear Old Briar-patch. Then one day he took. it into his head to go over there. With him went Bowser the Hound. Farmer Brown's Boy likes to have Bowser go tramping with him. “I wonder,” said Farmer Brown's Boy, to Bowser, “if Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Rabbit had a family this y I prepume they did. Perhaps we'll find some little rabbits in the dear Ol4 Briar-patch. Bowser wagged his tall as if he understood, which of course, he didn't. Then he barked two or three times and gamboled ahead, just as if he were a puppy, instead of a sedate old dog. So the two came to the| dear Old Briar-patch. Now there was a very great differ- ence 1n the ways in which Farmer | Brown's Boy and Bowser the Hound undertook to find out who was in the dear Old Briar-patch. Farmer | Brown's Boy would stand still for a | minute or more at a time listening | and peering in through the briars. | He was looking for Peter Rabbit, or Mrs. Peter and for a glimpse of some | of their children, if they had any. | Wherever there was an opening in | the briars or the bushes he would | stop and peer in. Bowser, on the other hand, didn't bother to listen or | look. He went along the edge of the dear Old Briar-patch with his nose to the ground, sniffing and snif- fing. Whenever he found a little opening where he could poke his head in, he would do this and sniff louder. | At the entrance to one of Peter Rabbit's little paths he would spend considerable time s £. By the time they had gone com-| pletely around the dear Old Briar-! pateh, Farmer Brown’'s Boy had di | still mighty prospect of e | convenient, | glimpse of that white Rabbit. | Clinginér Vine The Heart Story of a Steadfast Woman Garrison T'd like that slant on it, and tell me what you think of it.” Obediently 1 picked up the letter, written in bold dashing characters —patenuy the work of a man who did not wish to dictate the letter and was not tamiliar with or did| not wish 10 use a typewriter. “Dear Lillian,” it began, I hope you'll let me address you that way, even though 1 know you must be sore at me—and no wonder, But perhaps when I tell yOu my news, you can try to forget and forgive. “I've made my pile at last, and the first thing I've planned to do is to give back to you or Tom's daughter, the money he and T quar- ed about so many vears ago. '’s hard to admit it, but 1 was wrong in that old deal, and Ican't rest easy until I've made good every penny of it with interest. Please write and tell me the earliest opportunity I can have to see you about this. Helen always has grieved over this affair and !)‘P separation from you it entailed,” the letter went on. “I have told her of what 1 mean to lo. and she is overjoyed at the! erything being all ht once more. We are taking a notor trip through the east, short- Helen, myself, my half-brother, rles Owen, and of course, ths two children, Carolyn and Ronald. I've just waked up to the fact that I can't say ‘children’ any longer, nor can I speak of Marion as a child either. I suppose. Ronald is entering college next Fall while Carolyn has another vear at preparatory &chool It is partly to bring them to their schools that we are motoring down | {with two cars. Will you not write me as soon as telling me when we can see you? We could stop on our trip through and run down to you. Helen is wild to see vou, and T feel that T cannot rest until 1 have set- tled up this matter and paid to you or to Tom's daughter the money which T owed him “Anxiously awaiting your answer, T am, as ever, “Faithfully yours, “SAMUEL BRIXTON.” Copyright, 1928, Newspaper Feature Service, Inc.

Farmer Brown's Boy once more began going around the dear Old Briar-patch, watching for another When he saw it the second time, he was satistied that his eyes had not decei ed him. “It can't be a wild rabhit,” said he to Bowser, “it must he some- body's pet rabbit that has escaped.” (Copyright 1925, by T.

Disinfection Animals are apparently most like- Iy to spread this contagion in the early stages of the disease. The ani- | mals with the cloven foot are most susceptible The danger of spread is averted by prompt slaughter and disposal of bodies of animals that have been attacked by the disease. However, the virus may remain alive for one or two months, and even longer, after the death of the animal. Frequently, therefore, when farms are restocked, the new ani- mals will be promptly infected from the virus remaining as a re- sult of the previous infection. Hence it is of the greatest im- portance that barns, stables, pens, and fields in general be thoroughly disinfected under official veterinary supervision before they are re- stocked after a visitation by foot and mouth disease. The most serious stage for trans- mission of the infection with this disease, as With many human dis- eases, is the acute stage. When animals are first infected, the dis- | ease spreads among them rapidly. However, it frequently takes from one to several weeks before | | | the disease and have highly infec- contracted passed through the tious stage. Prompt Slaughter in the herd becomes a Source of danger. - It is for this reason that authorities are agreed that it s only by prompt slaughter of every animal that may possibly be in- fected through contact with the dis case that the condition can be erad icated. Heretofore in the United States where this method has been fol- lowed, this disease has prevalent at all in comparison to | its occurrence in continental Eu- | ropean countries where slaughter | has heen practiced with hesitation. all of the animals in a herd have | not been | Hot Weather, What To Do Suggestions as to Treat- ment of Children. Of all the seasons in the year, probably summer is the most bur- densome to a mother. It she is trying to do all her own house-work, look after the other children, keep the family well fed, clean, and happy, and herself in pre- sentable condition, in addition to taking care of the baby (and thous- ands of mothers are doing this very thing) she needs all the help she can get. If it can possibly be managed, she should have some kind of outside help (at least while the baby is small) to relieve her of part of the household burdens. To take care of a baby properly, particuraly if he is not well, or is fretful, it just about one person's work, and preferably the mother's work. The mother should never make the mistake of turning the care of the baby over to anyone else, un- iess it be to an experienced and reliable nurse with thorough train- ing in baby care. A young inexperi- enced nurse-girl, never! Often a mother will do this so she can do the housework and sewing and other things herself. It should be revers- ed. The baby comes first. Ofter she attempts things that could be dispensed with. Take the sewing for instance. She need not sit at a machine all summer making fancy clothes for the family, For- tunately, common sense has at last mads simple clothing for children fashionable, and economic conditions have made ready-made garments al- most as cheap as the yardage to make them, Jn the mornings chil- dren shovnld wear dark dresses, rompers, or overalls to play in.

And there are even paper towels Jt is only a suggestion and father may fuss, but mother must be saved She should not try to get up big fancy meals. And if she does do so on occasion, everybody should pitch in and help her Living in the summer should be reduced to elementals. It is a hard time for everybody, but particuia: 1y hard for the woman with little children and a baby. Mothers themselves are often to blame. I've heard women declare they could not afford help, then turn around and buy new things for the house that it could do without. What is a rug to a mother’'s health? Or the baby's health? Paint a floor or get matting it necessary. The cur- fains can wait a year of two, or forever, for that matter. I've seen 100 many worn-out mothers trying to rejoice n just such things when the same money could have gnen her real and lasting relief.
