feet sheer down, striking on the hard

great spIoteh of blood on the sidewalk

see it. is born a feeling that after all
much damned modern civilization is of
some account For into the midst OF the
rush and conflict where the weak are
pushed to the wall by the strong, the
ambulance dashes on its errand Of
mercy. Some one, somewhere, is caring
for the sick and injured though they be
strangers.

A Suicide.

In a bedroom lies a fair-haired girl.
She has all of her clothes on, but the
stiff, strained attitude in which she lies
on the bed tells that she is not asleep.
On her face are the drawn lines of
pain. A half empty bottle lying beside
her tells the sad story. The doctor does
not need to read the inscription. car
belle acid on the bottle to know that
it is suicide. Despondent. because her
health has been bad. or perhaps because
she has had greater ideas which have

part. There is a series of signals which
covers nearly all the duties which are
