He had planned to go to friends
house in the lower town, but with the
coming Of light and the blooming OF
the rose Of the morning he resolved to
ride directly to Barnett's. "My errand
is an honorable one" he argued. "Why
should l sneak into cover!"
The housemaid who let him into the
house smiled upon him in a most
friendly fashion. "We're glad to see
you, sir. Shall I tell Mr. Barnett you
are here?"
81 wish you would, and tell him I
wish no one but himself to know Of
my presence
Barnett was in bed, with a pot of
coffee and some toast on stand by his
side, reading the morning papers.
"Hello, old man." he called out when
the door was shut I'm mighty glad
to see you, but I don't know what to
do about you. What's the row, any

me and We'll have something heartier."
"How is Mrs. Barnett?"
''Never better. I've got her locked in
there" He pointed at an inner door,, Il
had an idea you were coming with I'M

know about your being here; the peo-
pie have got you mixed up with Mum

devils own job to convince them other

want to arrest you and hold you as
hostage"
''That would be nice job"
'sWouldn't it? But they've lost their
heads completely. You see, these red
neckers' hit us on weak spot-they

Smart little girls?" said the doctor
who takes in the summer residents of

there ever a mother whose little girl
was not the smartest thing on earth?
After thinking them all over st seems
to me the smartest story Il have
heard in a long time was told to me
the other day by the mother of little
four-year-old baby Helen.
"One pleasant morning recently the
mother n children walked around
tied the children's aunt. Upon their
return homeward all three stopped to
call on a lady who was a recent ac-
quaintance and very fond of children,
who gave them each a lot of nuts to
carry home. When they left that
house the mother and daughter Anna
preceded baby Helen and were en-
| gagged in conversation for some time
when they happened to turn around
and discovered that the little tot was
nowhere to be seen. In great alarm
they returned toward the house they
had left, but had not reached it before
they saw the object of their search
running homeward. OF course the
mother took the child to task for their
fright and asked where she had been.
Well. | had a bad nut and I just went
back to see if l could change it for a
good onel'
You know we doctors are sure to
hear from their mothers of the cute
sayings and doings of little children,
especially when we have been the
family doctor. | often laugh over one
happening right here in this town
which was told by the mother of
Polly and Bobby. She was four and
he three years of age. They had
strolled into the sitting room, follow
ing up the sound of a man saving
wood, and discovered their uncle ly-
ing on the settee fast asleep, as they
supposed. and snoring for all he was
worth. q. Polly held her stuffed doll
and both stared in surprise at the
sleeping object. Suddenly, as she
clutched her doll more tightly, she
got an inspiration from it and. grasp
ing Bobby by the arm, pushed him
toward the door while whispering.
Run, Bobby, and get the big carving
knife and We'll cut a hole in him
and let out all the s~awdust!'
"They are not all funny stories that
| hear, but one of the sweetest little
stories of an actual occurrence told
me by the mother of the child was
this: The mother was very i'll and
the father had failed in business. The
very night she heard Of the business
reverse she knelt at her bedside and
prayed, Dear Lord, is so sick
she can't hug and kiss me as she
used to do-and she is good to me-
make her well SO she can get up and
make cakes and pies and nice things
once more. And papa has lost all his
money and feels SO bad-give his
money back to him and make him
happy again, Inc well all be joyful.

make me good always, and make
granny good and bless Brother Willie
and give him a new top and me a talk
