must be!
II s'pose the men at the station don't
know anything bout Tod?' broke in
Billy, after we'd been quiet long time
"Of course the men in that train'd
know" says |.
THAT trains gone back by this time,
you silly!"
I'd never thought of that. Just then
long came the conductor.
"Tckets!" said he.
And of course we hadn't any, but l
paid him, and he gave me a slip of card
board with printing on it, He looked
good-natured. I'd often seen him be-
fore, so just told him the whole story.
He sat down in front Of us, as kind
and sympathetic as could be.

Martinville. But I'll make inquiries.
Don't you cry, little boy"
And wasn't. One or twotears aren't
crying, nope
Then your parents will be in fine
worry, too" says lie. "I'll send them a
telegram when the train gets in"
The minute we got into the station
the conductor took us to a rooID, where
he said lost articles were sent.

And he sort of laughed. don't see how
he could.

the six o'clock local from Harristown 2"
the conductor asked, when we godto the
lost article room.

here except three handkerchiefs, a
glove and two boys coats brought in
from that train. That's ALL"
Those are our coats" said l.
Then identify em," said the man.
l looked at Billy and he looked at me;
then we both looked at the conductor,
who laughed again.
Describe your coats, boys" said he.
"0h!" says we. And then we told
him, and he brought out two coats,
which, sure 'nough, were ours.
Milne was over her and Billy's was
rolled up under her head" said.
-Who?" asked the man.
Tod" l said.
''Was that your brothers name?"

think you might act S if you cared a
little, cause she's lost"
'Oh, she'll turn up all right" said
that hard-hearted, mean man, and went
ON writing.
An this time the conductor had been
standing in the doorway, with his fore
head all puckered up, like fathers when
he's thinking.
''Come, boys" says he; "we'll go and
telegraph to your father"
"I'll bet my kite you'll never see her
again, Jimmy" Billy said, and then he
began to tell me story bout little
girl who got lost and was never found

After the conductor had tergraphed
to father, we got in the car again. He
gave Billy and me each two sandwiches
He said he thought we must be hungry
And he was right, and ever since that

Does Baby
] hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask jour doctor if this is not trxs.

Perception, Patience and Tact Some of

Ideal hostesses are rare and opinions
differ rs to what constitutes them, no
two definitions being exactly alike. In
a recent discussion of the subject sew
eral society women recited their ideals
Of the various qualities an ideal host
ess should possess, as follows: She
must make you feel individually that
you are the favored guest. She must
make you feel perfectly at home. She
must see everything and yet possess the
art of seeming to see nothing. She must
never look bored. She must know how
to keep conversation always going. She
must never let anyone be sighted or
overlooked. She must know when to
ask the amateur musician to display
his or her talents. She must be per-
fectly unselfish about her own pleas
ures. She must not neglect her guests,
and at the same time must not give
them too much of her society. She
must remember that nothing is 80 tire
some, 30 surely death to all enjoyment,
as the feeling that M is being ZEN
tertained." In short, the ideal hostess
must, above everything, possess pa
thence, and that almost indescribable
quality known as tact.

Now Believed to Be Identical with the

The pestilential disease which pre-.

everywhere as the black death caused
an enormous loss of life. This disease
Is now believed by psychologists to
be identical with the bubonic plague
of the orient, says Popular Science
Monthly. No doubt, however, other
pestilential maladies and especially tp-

founded with the prevailing epidemic
disease. The aforementioned disease is
sometimes known as famine fever"
on account of it's liability to prevail
in epidemic form during periods OF
scarcity of food. Typhus was not
recognized by physicians as a distinct
disease until about the end of the If

which prevails as an endemic disease
in all parts of the civilized world, was
not differentiated from typhus until
