Pauline Furlong’s Talks On Health and Beauty 1919, by The Pros Publishing Co, (The Now York Brening World). Freckle, Tan, Sunburn Treatment. © woman can be really beautiful without a good, clear complexion, and the havoc which may be wrought through one day's outing in the hot sun cannot be repaired or remedied in months of the most tient attention to the skin. Always protect your skin before a fishing, motoring or other outdoor trip which exposes the skin to hot sun and wind, and remember to never use hot water just before going into the street, no matter what the season of the year, When an obstinate case of freckles and tan has to be dealt with it is advisable to use some of the bleach- ing pastes, which must be left on over night in order to » accomplish results; but for light cases many simpie ©? jotions and creams will help materially in bleaching the skin to normal again. Strawberries, which are plentiful now, make an ex- cellent skin bleach, and a pint of fresh ripe ones, well washed and mashed, should be added to @ oup of pure alcohol, let stand Sver night and strained through gauze before bottling for use. Apply this ghouia to clean skin (after bathing in tepid water and almond meal, which Js also sottening and whitening), with a soft, small sponge several times during the day and before retiring. iP In @ recent article I advised my reeders that cucumbers, which are so cheap and plentiful at this season, are wonderful beautifiers for the akin, because they contain arsenic, which is bleaching and whitening. | Cucumbers may be cut in pieces, simmered in a little water, without | removing their skins, mashed and strained to obtain the pure essence of | cucumber juice, and this may be applied to the skin pure or mixed with ‘ Sweet milk or alcohol. When used pure or with milk it must be used im- mediately; otherwise it will not keep. But if an equal quantity of pure alcoho! is added to the strained liquor it will keep indefinitely and prove & valuable addition to your totlet table, .

The Tom Sawyers of Other Days Accounted For By Edward Pierce Hulse N editor has asked, “What has A become of the Tom Sawyer of our boyhood days?” Well, the game old spirit of do-and-dare" that inspired Mark Twain's classic of @ generation past is still present. The Tom Sawyers of those days are now inviting other older persons to join the movement in the big 1,000,000 mombership campaign that is being conducted throughout the country! this week. The Tom Sawyer, Juniors, are the; Scout leaders and instructors, and the | ‘Tom Sawyer, Third, are hiking about the country, learning to ewim, and | build fires, and cook, and know the | Dirds and trees and plants, just as | the original ‘Tom did, In addition | they are learsing elements of good citizenship and conduct. They are Yearning mysteries of signaling and | of wireless telegraphy, first aid, as- tronomy, stalking, knot tying, and they are rendering a real service to | the nation with gardens and in na-| tional campaigns where quick, will- | ing, intelligent workers are of use. Scouting is about the only thing that makes boy life in a big city tolerable in these days. Its value simply cannot be over-estimated, The old @pirit of initiative and push which the brother editor fears is dying down is just as vigorous as ever. It $s simply getting a rational develop- ,ment. In the old days the wide- Bait, 1D.

He no longer listened f:r sound from within the cabin, but watched and Mstened for them to come from out of the forest. He made short quests, hunting now on this side and now on that of the cabin, sniffing futilely at the fresh and trackless snow and pointing the wind for minutes at a time. In the after- noon, with a forlorn slouch to his body, he went deeper into the forest to hunt for a rabbit. When he had killed and eaten his supper he returned again and slept @ second night in the burrow be- side the door. A third day and a third night he remained, and the third night he heard the wolves howling under a clear and star-filled sky, and from him there came his first cry—a yearning, griet-tilled cry that rose walltngly out of the clearing—the entreaty for his master, for Nanette, and the baby. It was not an answer to the wolves, In \its note there was a trembling fear, the voicing of @ thing that had grown into hopelessness, It came to him at last like a voloe which he could understand. The trickling music of the growing streams sang it to him; he heard it in the warm winds that were no |longer filled with the blast of win- ter; he caught it fn the new odors | that were rising out of the earth; he smelled it in the dank, sweet per- fume of the black woods-soil. The thing thrilled bim. It called him. And he knew! Neowa would be waking now! Bene disease runs as high as 28 per among poultry in some other In bis brain the pictures of Noewa were becoming clearer and clearer, After all, it seemed only yesterday er ae the day before that he bad gone away from that ridge, Then it was smothered in snow, and a gray, ter- rible gloom bad settled upon the earth, Now there was but little snow, and the sun was shining, and the sky was blue again. He went on, and sniffed along the foot of the ridge; he bad not forgotten the way. He was not excited, because time had ceased to have definite import for him. Yes- terday he had come down from that ridge, and to-day he was going back. He went straight to the mouth of Neowa's den, which was uncovered now, and thrust in his head and shoulders, and sniffed. Ah! but that lazy rascal of a bear was a aleapy- head! He was still sleeping, Miki could smell him, Listening hard, he could hear him, He climbed over the low drift of snow that had packed itself in the neck of the cavern and entered con- fidently into the darkness, He heard @ soft, sleepy grunt and a great sigh. He almost stumbled over Neewa, who had changed his bed. Again Neewa grunted, and Miki whined. He ran his muzzle into Neowa's fresh, new coat of spring fur and smelled his way to Neowa's ear. After all, it was only yesterday! And he remembered everything now! So be gave Neewa's ear a sudden sharp nip with his teeth, and then he barked in that low, throaty way that Neewa had always understood. ‘ake up, Neewa,” it afl said. fake up! The snow is gone, and {t's fine out to-day. Wake up!” And Neewa, stretching himself, gave @ great yawn, CHAPTER XVITL O MIKI and Neowa, especially Neewa, there seemed nothing extraordinary in the fact that they were together again, and that their comradeship wes resumed. Although during nis months of hibernation Neewa's body had grown, hi# mind had not ebanged its memories or ite pictures. & oe It had not passed though a mess of stirring events such as bad made ‘the winter a thrilling one for Miki, and so it was Neewa who accepted the new situation most casually, He went on feeding us if nothing at all unusual bad happened during the past four months, and after the edge had gone from his first hunger he fell into his old habit of looking to Miki for leadership. And Miki fell into the old ways as though only @ day or a week and not four months had lapsed in their brotherhood, It is possible that he tried mightily to tell Neewa what had happened. At least he must have had that desire— to let him know in what a@ strange “ way he had found his old master, Challoner, and how he had lost him again. And also how he found the woman, Nanette, and the little baby Nanette, and how for a long time he had lived with them and loved them as he had never loved anything elsv on earth, It was the old cabin, far to the north and east, that drew him now—- the cabin in which Nanette and the baby had lived; and it was toward this cabin that he lured Neewa dur- ing the first two weeks of thelr hunt- ing. They did not travel quickly, largely because of Neewa’s voracious spring appetite and the fact that it consumed nine-tenths of his waking hours to keep full on such ‘provender as roots and swelling buds and grass. During the first week Miki grew eitho, hopeless or disgusted in his hunting. One day he killed five rab- bits and Neewa ate four of them and grunted piggishly for more. It was the beginning of the third week before they came one day to the cabin. There was po change in it, and Miki's body sagged discon- solately as he and Neewa looked at it from the edge of the clearing, No smoke, no sign of life, and the win- dow was broken now—probably by an inquisitive bear or a wolverine. Miki went to the window and stood up to it, sniffing inside, The smell was still there-so faint that he could only just detect {t. But that was all, The ‘big room was empty except for the stove, a table and a few bits of rude furniture. All else was gone. Three or four times dur- ing the next half hour Miki stood up at the window, and at last Neewa— urged by his curiosity—did likewise, He also detected the faint odor that was left in the cabin. He sniffed at it for a long time. It was lke the smell he had caught the day he came out of his den—and yet Sitirent. It was fainter, more olusive, met Bo unpleasant. For a month thereafter: in- sisted on bunting tn the of the cabin, held there by 5 1 of the thing which he could neither analyze nor quite underetena wa accepted the situation: @ naturedly for a time. Then he. patience and surrendered himself to @ grouch for three whole days during which he wandered at his own sweet alliance Miki jee- thing that wea death, Ume—early July—found them sixcy miles north and west of the cabin, in the edge of the country where Nee- wa was born. But there were few berries that summer of bebe nak um geda (the summer of drought and fire), As early as the middle of July a thin, gray film began to hover in palpi ting wayes over the forests, For three weeks there had been no rain. Even the nights were hot and dry. Hach day the factors at their posts looked out with anxious eyes over their domains, and by the first of August every post had a score of halfbreeds and Indians patrolling the trails on the watch for fire Miki and Neewa wero in a swamp country when the fifth of August came, In the lowland It was swelter- ing. Neewa's tongue hung from his mouth, and Miki was panting as they made their way along a bia and sluggish stream that was like a great ditch and as dead the day Itself. There was no visible si but a red and lurid glow filled the sky—the sun struggling to fight its way through the smothering film that had grown thicker over the earth, Becau: were a “pocket”—a sw country lower than the sur- rounding country—-Neewa and Miki were not caught in this blackening cloud, Five miles away they might have heard the thunder of cloven hoofs and the crash of heavy bodies in their flight before the deadly men- ace of fire. As it was they made their way slowly through the parched swamp, so that {t was midday when they came out of the edge of it and ap through a green fringe of timber to the top of @ ridge. Before this hour neither bad passed through the horror of @ forest fire. But it seized upon them now, It needed no past experience. The cumulative instinct of a thousand generations leapt through their brains and bodies. Theil: world was in the grip of Iskootao (the Fire Devil). To the south and east and the west it was buried in @ pall like the darkness of night, and out of the far edge of the swamp through which they had come they caught the first livid spurts of flame. ‘The roaring grew more distinct, It seemed on all sides of them, But it was from the south that there came the first storm of ash rushing noise- lessly ahead of the fire, and after that the smoke. It w: then that Miki turned with « strange whine, but it was Neewa now who took the lead—Neewa, whose forebears had ten thousand times run this same wild race with death in the centusies since their world was born, He did not need the keenness of far vision now. He knew: He knew what was behind, and what was on either side, and where the one trail to safety lay; and tn thé dir he felt and smelled the Twice Miki made efforts to swing their course into the east, bit Neewa would have none of it. With flattened ears he went on north. Three times © iki stopped to turn and face the gallop- ing menade behind them, but never Neewa pause, 1D. Straight on-north, north, north— north to the higher lands, the big wa- ters, the open plains. They were not alone, A caribou sped past them with the swiftness of the wind itself, “Hast, fast, fast)” —Neewa's instinct cried; ‘“but—en- dure! For the carthou, speeding even t than the fire, will fall of ex- haustion shortly and be eaten up by the flames. Fast-—but endure And steadily, stolcaly, at his ‘opiag gait Neewa led on. A bull moose swung half across their trail from the west, wind-gone and panting as though his throat were cut. He was badly burned, and running blindly into the eastern wall of fire. Behind and on either side, where the flames were rushing on with the pitiless ferocity of hunnish regimenta, the harvest of death was @ vast and shuddering reality, In hollow lows. under windfalls, in the thick tree- tops, and in the earth itself, the smaller things of the wildern sought their refuge—and died, Rab- bits became leaping balls of flame, then lay shrivelled and black; t martens were baked in their trees; fishes and mink and ermine crawled OF Le into the deepest corners of the wind- p' falls and died there by inches; owls fluttered out of thelr tree-tops, stag gered for a few moments in the flery air, and fell down into the heart of the flame. No creature made a sound—except the porcupines: and as they died they cried like little chil- dren, In the green spruce and cedar tim- ber, heavy with the pitch that made their thick tops spurt into flame like a sea of explosive, the fire rushed on with a tremendous roar, From it - ina straight race—there was no es cape for man or beast. Out of that world of conflagration there might have risen one great, yearning cry 70 heaven: Water — Water — Water! Wherever there was water there was also hope—and life.

HHOUGH the cape had very hard BN Va nh OO tn pulling for pop- ularity, it being a full year before our Amer- jean women finally ac- cepted it, this spring, it has demonstrated such appealing quall- ties that the .ummer reason could acarcely get along without it.

The mole kerami could be matched in color for the chiffon or georgette which should be double thickness for¢the cape. This color is practical yet dressy, as also ts ardy. But dark blue is more prac- tical, while such colors as rose red and@ull blue are more dressy, Onvs owd taste and Judgment should be exércised in this matter when the frocks over which such a cape might be worn will prove an influence.

Then he took to the water, A little farther up the shore a fisher- eat and fox hugged close to the r line, hesitating to wet their s fur until death itself snapped ip heels; and as if to bring th fresh news of this death a second fox dragged himself wearily out on the shore, as limp as @ wet rag after his swim from the opposite shore, w' ere the fire was already leaping in a wall at of flame, And as this fox swam in, hoping to find safety, an old bear twice as big as Neowa, crashed pant- ing from the undergrowth, pluaged into the water, and swam out. Small- er things were creeping and crawling and slinking along the shore; litle red-eyed ermine, marten, and mink, rabbits, squirrels, and squeal ing gophers, and a horde of mice, And at last, with these things which be would have devoured so greedily run- ning about him, Neewa waded slowly out into the water.
