Of the borough Of Chorley, Lancashire,
DR.. ]. A. Harris, the medical officer for
the district, calls attention to the indis-
criminate sale and purchase Of the
various so-called headache powders.
He states that under his direction the
county police obtained six or seven
samples from different shops In the
town and had them submitted to analy-
sis. In every case the quantity Of the
active ingredient was found to be in
excess Of the maximum dose Of the
drug allowed in the British pharma-
copoeia. These remedies belong to the
class Of the analgesics, the members of
the group in common use for this pur-
pose being acetanallde or phenylaceta-
mide, phanazone, and phenacetin or
para-acet-phenetidin Their properties
were fully considered In the section of
pharmacology and therapeutics at the
meeting at Edinburgh, where Profess
sor Stockman Glasgow opened dis
cussion on the Therapeutic Value Of
Recent Synthetic Analgesics; Their
Benefits and Attendant Risks" There
was general expression of opinion
that these drugs required to be handled
with the greatest possible care, and
that a slight error Of judgment with
regard to dosage might be followed by
disastrous results. ALI these substances
depress the hearts action, and In toxic
doses diminish the force Of the respira-
tory act. The danger is not obviated

Tom Reed did not wait longer, but
went to his cabin up the mountain side
and lay down, but it was not to sleep.
He could not define his feelings, could
give, If questioned, no adequate cause
for the tumultous joy at his heart. He
was too happy for reason, too much ex-
cited for rest.
1t was near daylight when he fell
into doze, but in his dreams he still
saw the blossoms in her hair and the
heart of gold upon her breast.
She was calling his name-louder-
louder. She was beating on the door.

sake come out! The mine is on firer'
He sprang up and threw open the
door.
There stood Kitty, white-faced and

along over the country road, the bright
sunlight Of a glorious November day lend
ing radiance to the brown leaves still re-
naming on the trees. 1t had been twenty
years since she had seen Jim. He was
then a handsome, headstrong boy Of 1S.
and the only child that had come to her.
She had layished upon him the warmest.
tenderest affections Of her life, and yet she
never knew just why Jim had run away
from home in his 18th year and she had
never seen him nor heard from him since
that day,
She knew that he had gone "out West, /"
and she was too poor to follow him, had
she known where he was.
There had been vague and unfounded
rumors that he had "got into trouble" but
proof of this was lacking, and her neigh
bors had long ago ceased to speak Of Jim
day nor for one hour had she ceased to
think of him-her hearts desire.
Twenty years Of unanswered prayer had
ended in this spirit of depression and re-
bellion, and there was no love nor graft
tude in Margaret Hudson's heart that
Thanksgiving morning.
Presently she came to the bars In a
fence by the roadside through which she
must pass on her homeward way. She
leaned heavily on the bars, and then dron-
ped slowly to her knees with her head
resting on one gaunt arm stretched ont
upon one Of the bars. Her Inns moved
slowly in praper:
"Oh, God" she said, 81 have been so
sinful. so wicked. Forgive me and let the
desire of heart be for perfect trust in Thee
no matter what Thy will may be concern
ing me. Make this my hearts desire"
There was smile on her brown and
wrinkled old face when she rose To ber
feet and went on her homeward way. An
trace Of rebellion had fed from her face
and her eyes shone through a mist of
tears.
She pushed open the gate before her tiny
brown house and when old Hero, the dog.
came bounding forward with noisy greet
ing she patted him kindly and said cheer
ily:
Good old dogl Glad to see me, aren't
you, old fellow?"
She looked up to see tall, broad-shoul-
dered, brown-bearded man coming rapidly
down the path toward her with outstretch-
ed arms and twinkling brown eyes.
"MotherP' he said.
"Why, Jimr'
And they walked up the path with their
arms around each other.
And later Margaret Hudson went softly
about her tidy, sunny dining room setting
her tables for dinner and singing softly,
"Wait patiently upon the Lord and He
shall give thee thy hearts DESIRES"

Again the signal was given and again

the smoke.

The bucket flew to the surface envel-

A cry Of horror burst from the
throats Of strong men, and Kitty Minis
fell, fainting, beside the blackened,
blistered form that was snatched from

ed the choir.
''It is not true!'
The words were not spoken, but they
were in the thought and heart of one old
woman sitting far back near the door. She
sat alone, for she was alone In the world.
Those who had once peopled the old pew
with her-father, mother, husband broth
ers and sisters, and the child Of her love
and care, all were gone. The quiet peace
full beauty Of that Thanksgiving morning
and the spiritual atmosphere of the church
had quite failed to appeal to old Margaret
Hudson. Never had she felt in more
rebellious mood. 1t would haze dazed
and panied the white-haired old elder in
the pulpit had he known the thoughts that
were uppermost in the mind of the small,
dark, keen-eyed little old woman whose
head gave a little defiant toss when he
rose and said:
Let US bow our heads in prayer
Margaret Hudson did not bow her head,
and her heart did not respond to the sim
pie, feryent prayer of Elder Norris,
whats the useF she was saying an
grily to herself. Haven't been bowjng

and years-in one prayer for one thing, for

and the promise has not come true for me.
I can't believe that it is true"
There were educated, polished and bril-
liant ministers in beautiful city churches
who preached with less simple and tender
beauty than that old elder preached that
morning about the joy of gratitude and
praise-giving for the blessings of God, but
Margaret Hudson was not touched by the
words. Her faith had lost its Olivet and
her love its Galilee.
'When He gives me my hearts DESIRE"
she said stubbornly. "When He sends my
boy, my Jim, back to me, will believe
that His promises are true. can't-t trust
Him any more until He does"
She did not tarry at the close of the SER
vice for her usual greeting of old friends,
but stole out alone and hurried toward her
lonely home, the LONELINESS and desolation
of which were never so hard to bear as
now.

back to me it would be so," she said.

Kitty had never "sweetened his coffee
by looking into it'-a plan that was
thought to save her father much sugar.
He had never danced with her, though
once when he did muster up courage to
ask her hand for the next set she was
engaged.
Tom Reed spent many of his spare
hours at the hotel, watching for Kitty
Minis and pretending not to see her
when she came in sight.
On her 10th birthday Tom sent her a

1t was rumored that Rufus Ford had
sent to Frisco for "dime-ant ring"
and that Kitty would wear 1t at the
dance that evening.
AS often before, the dining-room Of
the Aurora Hotel did service as a ball
room that night, and from the crowded
doorway Tom Reed looked at the dane.

on Kitty's hand.

to get near to where Tom Reed was

But, bless you, my children, those good

the spaces with flag days, and arbor days,

soldiers monuments, until your Uncle

state and national engagements. And,
whenever he hopes to snatch an hours

fusing an invitation to an afternoon
party for her on the plea Of her delicate
