Why did she not come to him,
he missed her ceaseless care for his
comfort? Had she doubted his love
being strong enough to stand the
knowledge of her accident? The
thought hurt him.
What was she doing and feeling in
these long, dreary hours? He stirred
uneasily; the remembrance of her de-

life came wildly before him. Pres

She heard the change in his voice,

Color Blindness AMONG Girls.

An intelligent physician has dis
covered that color blindness is very
rare among girls, though it is common
among boys From this fact he draws
the conclusion that in most cases
color blindness is due to a want of

ors. Girls are taught to become IA
