CHAPTER HI
"The Long, Long, weary Day..

"The Long, Long, Weary Day.
 A fortnight had elapsed since the funeral of Mir. Forde, and Nurse Dixon. with her modest luggage, stood In the front garden awaiting Joe lakes, the local carrier, whose aged horse and curious vehicle (half cart, half phae- tom, conveyed passengers to Telford railway station. In her purse, Nurse Dixon had a che eek. the first Miss Forde had ever drawn, and. in spite of her protestations, the amount was for double her fee.
 Miss Forde herself, bareheaded. with scissors in hand, was busily cutting roses. pink. crimson. yellow. not to speak of old York and Lancashire, to make a bouquet for the parting guest
 As she fitted from bush to bush. the trained eye of Mary Dixon followed her critically; how white and frail she looked! Unless she had a change of scene and surroundings. this gentle unassuming heiress would undoubted' ly have a bad breakdown.
 "I am so sorry you are going away Nurse" said Hester, stralghtening her self after adding a handful of mig nonette to her nosegay.
 "Generally people are only toe thankful to get rid of onef' she a1- answered with short laugh. T wish Miss Forde, that you were going away yourself---you want a change May ask how long 1t is since you spent night from homer"
 "A night from homer she repeated "oh, let me thinks-net for this last six years" -
 Are you not tired of shalesmoor-- would you not like to see something fresh?"
 "Yes. the first year after came from achool I often pined to get away. used even to cry at night--to cry my self to sleep"
 T am not surprised at that! The old house"-and she looked back at it--"is gloomy and stuffy; those big trees suck all the vitality out of the air; think the place most depressing in fact, suspect that 1t is unhealthy. You have no society here; 1 mean, or your own age--young people.
 Miss Forde gave a short hysterical laugh, and said. as she shipped on a rose, That is no matter, for feel as old as the hills"
 'sBut seriously. Miss Forde. you ought to think of your health; you are not over-strong.
 I'm really not q bit delicate" she answered, confronting her adviser with fact that fiatly eontradicted her words; sitting up at night lately. and the heat, have made me look washed out. I'm as strong as a horse; as to going away, have no place to go to. :"

 Hester merely. shook her head, ana silently followed Nurse Dixon to the cart; but as she handed her the nose. gay, and said Good bye 1t seemed to old Jake's fare that there was sus- picion of tears in the grave grey eyes.

 You are very kind" she faltered.
 And you. Miss Forde. will, I hope, cheer up! I will arrange the house. keeping business; you shall have no trouble. And now. as must have a few words with Miss Jubber. will bid you good-bye;" and Mir. Levin effected brisk departure. leaving his client standing In the middle of the room. with a check to self for three hun dred pounds in her hand and bewil- dered expression upon her face.

Heart Disease in Children

Diseases of the heart are generally
supposed to be the fate of adults and
not of children, and this is largely
true, although there are exceptions TO
the rule, if rule it can be called.
These exceptions are generally the
result Of the acute infectious disorders
In childhood, such as scarlet fever. An
attack of rheumatic fever in childhood
is almost certain to affect the heart
but heart weakness may be the SEQUEL
to any facilitating disease.
The symptoms of heart trouble in
children are very much the same as In
adults. There may be a feeling of dis
tress round the heart, or even of actual
pain. There will almost certainly he q
rapid pulse and shortness of breath on
exertion, accompanied by great sensa-
lions OF fatigue. The sufferer is sub

consequent loss of flesh. The child viii
sometimes start from sleep in great
agitation and terror with a ran,dlv
beating heart, and chorea-St. Vitus'

damaged heart.
In these cases, on placing the ear TO
the region of the heart distinct blow

and this is proof that the valves are
not doing their work properly.

OF all the home remedies one Of the
most effective is hot water. This will
be found a most efficacious aid In treat
ing the average slight sickness sud
den sore throat will disappear rapidly
il hot water cloths are wrapped around
the neck, and a swallow of hot water
held in the mouth for few seconds
will often relieve sick headache. Hot
water cloths applied to the soles OF the
feet and the back of the neck will
soothe a nervous headache almost Inn
mediately; the patient should be kept
very quiet and allowed to fall asleep If
possible.
If pieces of flannel are wrung out in
hot salt water and applied to the seat
Of the pain rheumatic twinges may be
relieved without resorting to drugs.
Toothache and earache will often yield
to this treatment when dry heat and
the hot-water bag seem to have no
effect. Cramp caused by eating green
apples or other indigestlble articles may
be cured by tablespoonful Of castor
oil. In using hot-water applications
the water should always be hot, the
towels being changed before they be-
come at all cool. If the towels are al
lowed to cool on the patient they are
worse than no treatment at all.
If the ear is filled with warm water,
and then, after allowing the water to
run out, plugged with a bit Of cotton
wet with olive oil or glycerin, 1t will

the result of cold, the patient should be
put In q comfortable position, near a
fire or radiator, and allowed to go to
sleep.
Salt is another simple remedy whose
uses are seldom appreciated in the
household. Warm salt water held In
the mouth will stop the flow of blood
from a drawn tooth and will often cure
a toothache when other remedies fail.
1t also makes a very good gargle for
sore throat and hoarseness, and If salt
water is drawn up in the nasal cavity
every morning it will stop the develop
ment Of catarrh.
Tepld water and salt form an excel
lent emetlc, which is also harmless
when given to a person who has taken
poison. Small doses Of salt repeated
at intervals is said to be helpful in ar.
resting a hemorrhage, and nose-bleed
may often be stopped by bathing the
face and neck in cold salt water.
When children are given nuts to eat
they should be well sailed, as this
makes them more palatable and easier

ing nuts.
Salt in the bath exerts a very brac
ing tonic effect, and will also clear and
brighten sallow complexion. Bathing
the feet with warm salt water and Their
rubbing them with dry salt averts the
evil consequences OF wet feet usual tc

A little salt mixed with powdered

makes an excellent dentifrice, as tht

the simpler remedies none are more
