THE EXILE OF ROSEMARY EDITH.
BY ANNIE E. HARRI

Given Rosemary Edith"
Gertrude hadn't thought of that She
and Gerard were twins, a fact of which
she was very proud, but which Gerard
had always protested against.
Early in their school days Gerard had
declared that he didn't like to be a twin
because he didn't like to play with girls
Still he had Julian to play with, so it
wasn't so bad after ALL
But here was the summer vacation
beginning and Julian in bed with a
broken leg; leaving no one for Gerard to
play with but his twin.
81 can play boys plays" urged Ger
trude, when he had signified his disgust
of girls play.
But you'll have your own things to
play WITH said the boy.
mo Gerard, l will give them up:'
even Rosemary Edith"
Gertrude was about 10 answer, NO."
but she sighed instead and rested her
chin on her hand to steady her voice.
Eyes, 'Rard," she said, 81 will give up
Rosemary Edith"
Forever n 'ever?'
eyes, I'll take her up in the attic and
put her away"
All right, do it now
Gertrude flew to her room and took
Che great uoI IRON ner cna-r. she
mounted the attic stairs slowly with
her cheek on Rosemary Edith's hail,
and bravely told her she had given her
up.
81 must play with my twin now, Rose
mary Edith; and he's boy. He doesn't
approve of dolls, so l must give you up
We shall get used to it dear, and not
miss each other so much after while"
She placed her precious burden in her
little rocking chair and left the room
without looking back.
On the porch she found Gerard busy

with rods and lines.


Were going fishing" he announced.
That's your rod, l cut it myself Come
on, now we'll get the worms
They were soon in the orchard where
Gerard turned up forkful OF eartn and
kicked the can toward Gertrude
Pick 'em up" he said.
Poor Gertrude! not for worlds would
she let Gerard know how afraid she was
of worms, so she picked up the squirm-
ing things till the boy said they had
enough.
There was pool on the edge of the
river where the big boys had fixed a
platform for fishing stand. Here Ger
ard, set down his can of worms and
promptly had his line in the water. Ger
trude danced about on the river bank
and picked the largest buttercups she
could find.
aren't they beautiful" she said.
That's girls play!" was Gerard's an
swer. Come here and fish. Put on a
worm and don't tangle up your line
throwing it in. o say! I felt a bite.
Now keep still and I'll land him.
A moment later the tiniest of tiny
fishes lay on the planks, and Gerard
seized it with trembling fingers. But,
through some unfortunate twist, he had
no sooner liberated the fish than he
the same hook. He screamed with
fright and danced up and down till Ger
trude scared him still more by saying,
IF you don't get out quick you'll die.
'Rard!"
BY patient effort the hook was re-
moved, and Gerard, with pale lips ana
streaming eyes. viewed his dripping
finger and walled.
"You must suck it, 'Rard. Mamma
says fish-hooks will poison if you don't
suck out the Blood
20 Gertrude, 1 can't" sobbed the boy.
But you muSt!"
Il tell you 1 CAN'T"
Then I must" Gertrude herself was
in tears now. The thought of losing her
twin was quite too much for her. She
took his grimy hand, entirely forgetful
that the Shiny fish anu the repulsive
worms had lately passed through it, in
serted the injured finger between her lips
and sucked as If her life depended on it.
When the finger was quite clean, they
returned to the house to ,have 1t band
aged.
After dinner the twins sat on the
steps wondering what to do next, when
Jem Holden appeared driving the mules
to the bayfield,. By the time he had
reached the gate, two passengers were
waiting by the dusty road.
Were going with you, Jem.''
'All right, my hearties, come aboard. ~
In the bayfield, there was plenty 10
inerest them, till Gerard was sent on
an errand down the road. Then time
hung heavy on Gertrude's hands, so she
sat down to amuse herself. Taking a
wisp of hay she twisted it into a club
and pinned her handkerchief around it
in such way that it looked like a wee
baby in beautiful long cape. broad
plantain leaf made an excellent bonnet
Gertrude was absorbed with her new
plaything, when Gerard, having seen her

had both forgotten the momentary lapse
At supper Papa inquired about the
days play.
"Shes done first rate" said Gerard
''By week or so she'll be as good as
Julian to play with
At eight the twins were sent to their
rooms. Gerard was soon asleep, but
not so little Gertrude. In all her ten
happy years she could not remember ever
going to bed without a doll of some sort
and since Rosemary Edith had been
given to her she had never been to
sleep without her.
Loyal to her promise to Gerard, It
seemed like wickedness even to think OF
rosemary Edith, so she tried all kinds
OF plans to fall asleep. Yet when the
clock struck ten she was still wide
awake. When Papa ana Mamma came
up she closed her eyes and nestled her
head in the pillow to feign Sleep
She is tired after her hard days

she is our dear little daughter" said
Mamma.
When they had gone to their room
Gertrude sat up and rested her chin
on both hands. She was thinking OF
Rosemary Edith alone in the attic play

hard-hearted and mean to leave her
there, 1 was an unnatural mother like
Mrs Nest, who left her baby on the
poorhouse steps. Mamma said she was
criminal to do it. l am almost a
criminal because Rosemary Edith is al
most alive anyway, she has always
been treated like live person. l must
go this minute and bring her back
Gertrude slipped to the floor and pat
tered softly along the hall ana up the
attic stairs. She reached the little chair
and knelt in front of it. Her arms met
around he dolls body in a long embrace,
her head sunk lower and lower till it
rested in Rosemary Edith's lap; Ger
trude was sound asleep.
Next morning Papa had an errand
outside the village and thought to take
his little daughter with him. He was
surprised to find her bed empty, and hur-
ried back to Mammals room together
they began a search.
Rosemary Edith is gone, too" said
Mamma. perhaps Gerard will know"
Gerard's sleepy eyes popped wide open
at the news.
"She is probably hiding"
AS lie was hunting Tor her his wits
began to awake and he remembered that
she had promised to put RosemaryEdith
in the attic. A hint was enough for
Papa. He was up over the stairs in no
time and at the playroom door. The
sight he saw made him pull hard at his
mustache.
Gertrude was sleeping Just as she had
knelt, her arms around Rosemary Edith,
her head in the dolls lap. She stirred
as they stood looking at her, and opened
her big blue eyes. Papa had her in his
arms at once and soon learned the whole
story.

The cause and treatment for cream
which becomes strong and foamy were
discussed recently by Professor T.. S.
Guthrie of the Ohio State university as
follows: The cause of the cream be
coming strong and foamy Is most likely
due to abnormal fermentation. In or
der TO determine the source OF the bac-
terra, l suggest that the patrons thor
oughly cleanse jar for each COW by
scaldlng the jar In boiling water Label
jar for each COW, and after each
milking pour about pint of each
cows milk into her particular Jar.
From these samples the patrons may
determine whether the trouble comes
from a certain COW or few of them or
from the entire herd. Set these sam
pies away where they may have the
same temperature at which the cream
has been souring. In about twenty
four hours examine them by tasting and
smelling. If the strong flavor or the
foamy condition Is found i'm one or two
of the samples cut out the milk from
these cows for few churnings. If all
the samples seem to be about the same
look out for mud hole or for some
other source of filth and remove the
cause. If the trouble lies with but one
or two individuals make a careful ex-
animation for u cause of the contamina-
tion and remove the cause

length on the medical phase of the case.
He carefully reviewed the testimony
tending to show that Father Mackin

show that perniciOus anaemia necessar-
