Love’s Awakening By Adele Garrison ‘Whatever Scheme Lay Hiddem Back of Samwel Brizton's Offer to Return the $20,000 to L{llian s Tempor- arily “Spiked.” The silence which followed Sam- uel Brixton's final appeal to Lillian | lasted no longer than a minute. But it seemed a fdll hour in duration while 1 watched the expression of the man’s face change from trucu- lence and thwarted scheming to a| resigned acceptance of her djctu “All right,” he sald at last. “I'll tell Helena everything's O. K. I'll do more than that. When Marion is of age, I'll make it right with her. She’ll probably have some sense, ini- stead of trying to pick flaws in | something which is perfectly cor- rect.” He shot a venomous side at me, and I knew that fully could have strangled me. But 1 looked at him with smiling non- chalenee. “We can safely leave that to her deciston,” I said. “For the present, glance let us forget that this conversation | has been held.” He started perceptably. “Are you willing to do that?” ha asked eagerly. “You won't make Helena feel bad by taking Marion away from that school or anything like that?" “Of course not,” Lillian exelaimed indignantly, and I saw that I must walk warily where her sympathies with cerned. But I had a vivid memory of her wish to change Marion’s school which she had ex- pressed to me but a few minutes be- fore. Not for the first time I real- ized that my friend will sacrifice anything on earth to her fear of be- ing unjust. cht T saw part, the scheme which T suspected 8am- vel Brixton and his half-bréther of concacting against Lillian.

Now, as he sat at a | safe distance staring at it, he began to understand in a small measure | what had happened. : “If T had been inside when that door dropped 1 would be a prisoner right this minute,” thought Buster. | “It must be that something like this | happened when that Bobeat was in- side. Certainly he was a prisoner. I am growing suspicious. Yes, sir, T em growing suspicious.

It had been built and set by two men whose pigs Bus- ter had stolen. That is, this man with the help of another had bull" and set it. It was a couvle of days after | Buster had sprung the trap that tnA trapper came to visit it. When he | saw that the trap had been sprung and the door was closed, he was| greatly pleased. “I wonder if T've| got him this time,” thought he, as very cautiously he approached the | trap. For a few moments he listen- | €d; first on one side and then on the other. He was listening for the sound of some one inside. But there | was no sound. So after a while he carefully pried up the door until he could look in. Of course, no onc was in the trap. ow I wonder who and what sprung that trap,” muttered the trapper. He examined the trap all over. “It was that bear!” said he, most decidedly. “He climbed up on top of the trap and he sprung it from up there. Well, all s, I'll have to set it again.” So the trapper went to work and 6t the trap once more. Then, only a short distunce away, and at a| point where he knew from the tracks that Buster had heen in the habit of standing to stare at that trap, he set another trap. This trap was wholly diff Tt was a stes] trap with great wicked-looking jaws. Tt was 2 powerful, ugly looking thing. The springs on it were strong that th or had to use a lever to force t lown.

Later T meant to devise some | | plan for putting Marion on her | guard against the two men. That could wait, however, I did | | not wish to upset the child, and I was sure that neither Samuel Brix- ton nor his half-brother—especially | his half-brother—would do anything | precipitate. ~ Theirs was a waiting ! game. Sam Brixton might be rash |and tmpetuous, but Charles Owen, | far more dangerous, was a red In- dian in his infinite patience. | Mr. Brixton turned to me, his| | truculence vanquished by Lillian's | prompt assent to his plea for keep- irg Marion in the school. “Just forget that spiel of mine,” said with a roughly apologetic | air. “I was sore, T admit, for a min- | ute or two, and I let my temper get | the better of me. but I have no hard feclings. T hope you haven't.” His was the confident air of the man who is accustomed to “squaring things” by the sheer force of his bluf good-nature. It suited me, however, to let him think that T ac- cepted his apology. With Marion and Carolyn prospective roommates at school with the intimacy which that relationship implied, it was vi- tally necessary that I be on appar- ently friendly terms with the Brix- ton family. Otherwise T could not keep up the watch over Marlon's contact with them. “I have no personal feeling in this matter whatever,” I told him. “Sup- pose we turn the leaf down— “And paste it shut,” Samuel Brix- ton. amended with a huge laugh. “I'm agreed.

WYCKOFF (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.} New York, Dec. 11—Can womes be successful in the stock market? All things being equal, I believe they can. From my observation up to a few years ago, the average man approached Wall Street merely with the idea of “beating the game.” ‘Women, at the same time, were ap- proaching the “Street” through male members of their families and triends, not directly. However, the war changed all this together with many other things Women went into business like the male members of their family and found that it was not the com- plicated affair which they had an- ticipated, and that in place of tech. nical knowledge, common sense was a very good substitute. Women Want Real Facts Having undertaken and accom- plished other jobs, they began to strike out on their own, in the han- dling ‘of their savings as well. Being more careful than men, and not having been accustomed to the pos- session of large sums, they, on the whole, approached the security mar. ket with a desire to know more about the actual facts surrounding the securities in which they inter- ested themselves. ‘Woman has a natural shopping in- stinct and, when interested in buy- ing anything, she is willing to spend the necessary time and energy to get exactly what she wants. The majority of women up to a few years ago confined themselves mainly to the better types of securi- ties. Their fear of losses kept them from taking speculative risks. How- ever, with the improvements in thelr incomes and the growing of their investment funds, their courage in- creased and many women of thia class have done exceedingly well in the market. The great jpass of wo- men, just as the great mass of men, however, rely on tips as in the past. Actually, of course, sex has nothing to do with intelligence. Have Advantage of Patience As far as women are concerned, they have a great advantage: they know they have a lot to learn about sccurities, and so usually apply to the most conservative sources for their information, And because wo- | man is more patient and less head- strong, and is willing to wait and |bide her time, she should do very well. Patience is onc of the greatest assets that a man or woman can have in dealing with the stock market. The function of the stock market is reglly very simple in its tech- nique; it is nothing more or less than a market-place for the buying and selling of securities. The broker is there to execute your orders, and stocks are nothing hut pleces of paper which certify to your partner- | ship in a corporation. The selection of the security ftselt is the important factor in the situa- tion. How important this is, is evi- denced by the fact that all institu- |tions and experienced investors make their purchase only after the | most careful kind of analysis. Sound | investment principles, based on years |of experience of the most success- ful men investors, present an excel- lent basis. Three Essentials of Sclection The three essentials of selecting a well-managed company- in & sound industry with increasing earning power, should be the basis for every | investment that & woman makes. I Avenues for securing this funda- {mental information are open to | everyone who desires to buy his or I her securitles intelligently. Just the | same as one consults an architect in lwhom one has confidence, when one | wishes to build a house, a lawyer to |handle a legal situation, a doctor |when one s 1ll—so does one secure | the proper fundamentals in invest- ments. In this way only are you assured of the proper foundation for the in- | vestment of your funds. and aveid- |ance of those heartbreaking losdes | which are caused by haphazard | gambling on tips and propaganda. Buying securities on a business basis is the only sound. intelligent | way to stock market success, and ix simple of attainment for women as well as men. YOUR HEALTH Editor's Note: This is the first of |a series of four timely articles on the nature and care of influenza, | which has broken out seriously re- |cently in many cities. In this arti- cle Dr. Fishbein traces the history of the discase and the present epi- | demic. o o0 | BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN !Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygela, | the Health Magazine Various epidemics of diseases af- | fecting the nose, throat and lungs have been recorded under the mamc of influenza. One outbreak was fully described |as occurring in France in 1769, an- ! other occurring as far back as 1737. Since the great epidemic of 1918, investigators have been attempting | to ascertain whether that was simi- |lar in character to the one which | occurred in 1847 and the one that | took place in 1889. It has now been | rather generally agreed that the | condition was essentially the same and that such attacks occur in | cycles of approximately thirty years. Symptoms ‘ In epidemic influenza the person is suddenly seized with mild fever, | headache, pain in the back and in | the lege. There is running at the {nose and a remarkable degree of | prostration out of proportion to the severity of the symptoms. There is also a muiltiple liabllity |to secondary bronthitis and pneu- {monia. ~There seems to have been |{much more pneumonia in 1918 than in the epidemics of 1889 and 1890, | "Dr. E. 0. Jordan in his survey of influenza epidemics which have iwept the world considers particu- larly those of 1802.18¢3, 1805-1808, Ium 30 to §0 per ent population were attacked in all of these e,ldo.lel. and tm ale ways were Thus history is n" itself in that a lillmtll!llllhl!l! ed at fairly frequent hw mild epidemics which seem to bulld toward a severe "ldo-lo about 1950, Little Relation to Weather Epidemic influensa in contrast to epldemics of colds shews a remark- able lack of relationship to weather conditions. When it begins it sweeps the world from the tropics to the north and south poles. ‘The pandemics of 1389 and 1830 and of 1918 were promptly follow: by recurrences of what appeared to be the same disease in imtervals varying from a few weeks to months and & year or more. Unfortunately the symptoms of epidemic influenza resemble so closely those of the commeon cold and infectious diseases of the breathing tract generally, that con. fusion exists In many reporta. In. deed Mrs, Cariyle, wife of the great philosopher, thus carefully recorded all her ailments in her diary: “Modi. cal men all over the world have sn tered into a tacit agreement to call all sorts of ailments people are li- able to have, in cold weather, by the same name 80 that one sort ef treatment may serve for all, and their practice be geratly simplified.” The word grip 14 used as indis. criminately as is, of course, fin. fluenza. The Present Epidemic The present epidemic of influenza seems to have begun on the west coast and to have spread eastward over the rest of the United States, 80 that by the middle of December the entire country was involved. Cases began to be reported from the Pacific coast early in September and in the early part of November there were 4800 cases in the entire country. These reports must not be taken too seriously, since thousands of cases are not reported. The U. 8 B. Idaho had an out. break of influenza among its crew while lying in 8an Francisco from April 10 to April 18, 1928, and it was the belief of the ship's officers that the men had acquired the dis- ease while ashore on liberty parties. In September, Doctors E. F. Hirsch and E. R. LeCount of Chicac g0 reported a post-mortem examina- tion made on a man who had died in the hospital, and the fact that; they had found his lungs to resem- ble the typical condition found in persons dying of influenza in 1918. They sald at the time of their re- port that this might be a forerun- ner of a serious outbreak involving the entire country. When epidemics of influenza sweep communities they are likely 10 attack a definite portion of per- sons who are apparently without re- sistance to the disease. In schools, asylums and other places in which any considerable number of persons live there are usually a certain defl- nite proportion attacked. of the TOMORROW: Course Disease. —e CHEESE IN 8OUP Keep small pieces of left-over cheese. Grated it is excellent for giving taste to vegetables and cream soups and makes a tasty addition to a salad that might otherwise be flat. — MATTRESS HANDLES Some day when thers is not much work to do, an hour spent putting handles on all the mat- tresses will bring satisfaction.

Charles A. Lind- bergh in commemeration of his dis- tinguished achievements in aviation. As soon as Colonel Lindbergh can find time to sit for the bas rellef of his profile, which is to appear en one side of the medal, the model will be completed and sent to the Mint. Only one copy will be struck, and that will be presented to Colonel over sslected to design colns ur ll!o national currency. For th States Mint she designed -efl'. pleces put out in commemeoration of the Alabama and Fort Vancouver centennials and the Grant memorial, and with her husband, James Earle Fraser—who, incidentally, designed the buffalo nickel— she designed & F0-cent piece put in currency to cel- cbrate the one hundredth annivers- ary of the opening of the Oregon Trail. Outstanding among her achieve- ments in sculpture is the award to Mrs. Fraser in 1925 of & Saltus med. al by the Numismatic Society. Only about half a dosen of these medals have ever been awarded, and Mrs. Fraser s the only woman who has ever n one. In 1927 Mrs. Fraser won two pris- es—a Saltus medal awarded by the National Ascademy of Design for her bas relief portrait in marble of Mrs. E. H. Harriman, and the Agar prize for the best work of art in an ex- hibition of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculpters. The prize was awarded her statue of a reclining elk. Among her other prizes are: A third Saltus medal, by the National Academy of Design, for & group of animal medals; a Helen Foster Bar- nett prizo in 1920 for & nymph and satyr group, and the Julla Shaw prise in 1920 for a baby goat statue. Mrs. Fraser was born in Chicago and was a student of Mr. Fraser at the Art Students’ League in Chicago before she married him. ATTRACTIVE DRINK A pretty drink to serve is called ribbon freeze.
