Infantile paralysis cases long since fell off to a point where they would pass unnoticed under ordinary circumstances.

They can send their children to school with no more fear of infantile paralysis than of measles or typhoid.

Jarr’s Uncle Henry, Mrs. Jarr remarked how quiet and peaceful everything was. This remark may have been prompted by the fact that they had encountered a smooth stretch of road and thelr automobile, rented for the trip, ran smoothly in consequence, “Yea,” Mrs. Jarr went on, “it is a rellef to get away from the noise and other Irritating conditions of life in a great city, The country, where Peaceful people iead peaceful lives and dwell in serene contentment, makes one wish never to see the sights of @ great city or to hear its raucous sounds. “Surest thing you know,” replied Mr. Jarr. “My ambition has always been to have a nice little farm in the country to retire to and live in peace and comfort.” At this point Mr, Jarr had to turn the “Flivver” off the road to get around @ hay wagon. He was dis- posed to be angry at the driver of the hay wagon not making room for him to pass, but noticed the driver was asleep. Mr. Jarr awakened him with a shout and asked him how far it was to the farm of Mrs, Jarr's avuncular relative, “He ain't farming any more,” was the reply. “His wife went on strike and he rented the farm and moved to town,” “Good gracious!” exclaimed Mra, Jarr. “Do you think they have moved to the city and taken @ flat in our house, while we were away? It may be they have taken our flat; it would be just like Uncle Henry.” These remarks were addressed to Mr, Jarr, but his further questioning of the haywagon driver disclosed the fact that the town referred to was the delightful village of Hays Corners, which they were nearing, “Where does he live?" repeated the haywagon driver, “Why, on Main Street, of course. He moved tn the house next to his brother-in-law, you can tell it by the spite-fence.” “What # a spite fence?" Mra, Jarr asked of her husband, as the “Flivver” spurted along, and they entered the village. Mr, Jarr said he didn't know, called the Journal of Accountancy, H.

But this was not necessary, There was only one street, and it was Main Street. As they neared the middle of the village they were aware of 0 group of people on the footpath greatly interested at what appeared to be a local siege of Verdun, A board fence, at least twelve feet high, ran down the line between two cottages, On either side the em- battled relatives stood, or rather charged about, throwing rocks and tin cans, On the side of the fence they were approaching Mr. Jarr discerned Uncle Henry in @ towering rage, defying his relatives on the other side, As the Jarr auto stopped a in can came sailing through the air and struck Uncle Henry on the head.

Edited by Janet Trevor Joprright, 1916, by The Press Publishing Co, (the New York Evening World.) CHAPTER LXX. CT. 27.—Another day and I have had no word from Ned. This morning I telephoned to his of- fice. Miss Duryea answered. Disguis- ing my volce—for I would not let her know that I was asking her for in- formation about my husband—I said that I wanted to speak to Dr. Hough- ton. “He won't be in to-day, and per- haps not to-morrow,” she replied. “A very important case is engaging his attention. Any message, Madam?” “No,” I said shortly. I do not know \f she invented the excuse to save Ned's professional reputation, or if he actual- ly gave her such an explanation of his absence over the telephone. What is he doing? Where has he gone? I cannot sleep or eat. At first I was bitterly indignant with him. I felt that he had insulted me cause- lessly, For the first time I had been the object of the gusts of unreasoning rage concerning which his mother had | 9 warned me the day before our mar- rage. And I was angry and hurt. But now all that is merged in a great anxiety. For weeks I have known vaguely that there are sides to Ned which I have never seen, that he com- bats temptations and desires strange to me. In his swift gust of dissatisfac- tion with me and with our life to- gether, to what extreme has he gone I don't know—oh, I don't know! This morning I had a strange con- versation with Bertha. Since, some Uttle time ago, I told her frankly that I wanted her to teach me cook- ing and housework, we have grown to know each other better, Yet she never has been presumptuous or im- pertinent—at least not till to-day, I sent Mary Dunn out by herself for her morning walk, since I didn’t want to leave the apartment or to be beyond reach of the telephone, So I was finishing alone the cup of coffee I forced myself to drink when Bertha came into the dining-room and stood directly in front of me. “How long is Miss Dunn going to stay here?” she asked, without any preface. I looked at her wonderingly. “Really, Bertha,” I said, “I don’t put a time limit on my guests, Why should you ?"-—— “The other night, when you went to dinner at your mother’ terrupted me calmly, “the doctor came home for half an hour and found Miss Dunn in the living room.
