 Chiffon had anticipated no end of a good time. Although she was enter tained continually her heart yearned for home, and at the end of three weeks she surprised them by returning unannounced.

 Immediately after dinner she ran over the stairs to the invalid's apart ments, armed with two of Henry's newest books for boys. which she had brought home Irom the city; also a bound volume uf St. Nicholas Nigga zines.

Sleepiness is normal and healthy condition when it occurs at the usual bedtime and when not extreme and overpowering But it is not always associated with sleep. some persons in perfect health and excellent sleepers hardly yknOwth the meaning of drowsiness they are active mentally and physically until they are in bed then sleep comes at once, and when il leaves them in the morning they are again in full mental awakeness.
 There are less fortunate persons who never have complete and satisfactory nights rest who are yet almost con- stantly drowsy; they are always nod ding but when the head touches the pillow sleep recedes. and the night is succession of drowsy lapses to sleep with the instant return of semi-con- sciousness.
 In general, with the exception noted at the beginning of this article. drowsi- ness Is abnormal, and indicates some thing wrong either in the body or the sufferer or in his habits. Those who habitnally cut off their hours of sleep, the might owls and the burners of the midnight oil, pay for their bad habit by attacks of sleepineSs in the after noon and early evening; later. unfortu- nately. after the influence of digestion wears off, the droYsiueSs disappears. and then relieved of his burden. the person sits up to all hours" again, thinking m that way to make up for the hours lost by the drowsiness. If he would abandon his owish habit. go to bed betimes. and get the seven or eight hours of continuous sleep that he needs. his daytime and evening drowsi- ness would disappear. he could do more and better work, and find life much more enjoyable.
 4 slight drowsiness is often noticed after q hearty meal. because active d. gestion draws q greater volume of blood to the stomach so that the brain Is relatively poorly supplied. Tn some southern countries this tendency iS fa- yored. and the siesta after the noon meal is d national custom. With us the afterdlnner cup of black coffee often drives away the impulse to sleep whether for good or ill may be left to the physolOgists to determine.
 Sometimes We hear of attacks of sleepiness occurring suddenly 1t cer- tain periods of the day or at irregular intervals. These are altogether abnnr- mal, and in such cases there is almost always some poison at work n the nervous centers-usually a self-manu- factured poison which. because 1t is made in too great quantity. or because constipation or kidney disease prevents its rapid elimination. accumuates in the system.
 An essential In the treatment C< such cases is dieting. Meat should be given up for a time, at least, and the only beverage allowable is water or milk.

able. Mrs. Carrol? Is your son worse to-day?
 Mrs. Carroll, Is that the only name you can find in your heart to call me, dear? I wonder If you will ever call me mother? I have always longed for a daughter; your own dear mother could be no more tender than would be if you would only open your heart to me-"
 T really care for you" answered the girl, kissing her warmly. Wont you call me Chiffon? Those love call me by that name.'
 Such a dainty pet name. I have not dared to use it. Do you think, Chiffon, that your fathers heart is not big enough for us both: I would not take one iota of his love from you"
 The proud head was gently lowered as Chiffon's arm crept around the oth- CTS neck, and as their tears mingled the barrier was gone forever.
 Mother, why do you not bring your boy here? Surely your home should be his Let him have my rooms, they are the sunniest. l shall be gone a month; by that time he may be able to move to the suite above How long is il since he was injured:''

 "Vill you accept my offer:" asked Chiffon. My visit will be happier if you do."
 "I gladly accept. dear. Philip never would have come without your invita- tion."

to Modify Her Judgment.
 Rosamond had gone to the office of one of the managers of q big depart, ment store. seeking redress in the mat. ter of an unsatisfactory purchase.
 The manager quietly took notes a' Rosamond rather indignantly stated her grievance. Then he asked few questions. and when she had answered he said. courteouSly:
 T must ask you to wait while the matter is looked into. I shall have to send a statement of the case down to the head of the department. and have him take it up with the clerk who waited upon you
 He touched button as he spoke and gave the notes he had made. with q few directions. to the youth who an swered the summons.
 Rosamond tapped the floor with all impatient foot She felt that, cOnsid ering the fault was entirely with the store. it was unfair not to settle the matter at once in her favor without so much unnecessary red tape.
 After fifteen minutes waiting sho was about to express her feelings to the manager. who was apparently en' crossed with the papers on his desk and demand more speedy action, when young saleswoman entered the office in a heSitating manner. There was a sweet but shy eagerness in her face as she approached the desk that at tracted Rosamond at once.
 What is 1t. Miss Sneli:" asked the manager. looking up for the merest In. stant.,
 II wanted toto ask you. If tO-mor- row I should come down m hour ear Her and not take any nOOning-if you could let me go home at 1 o'clock"

 Have you eyer been bridesmaid" 2" asked tho manager, turning over the papers which he was examining.

 And you'd like to be her brides maid and see what it's like" The man. ager raised his head and smiled at the girl Well. if you come down an hour earlier in the morning. we'll try to get along without you In the after noon. You may go home at 12."
 "Oh. the whole afternoon. Thank you so much. I'll be here at half-past sure.'

 "I was so afraid you wouldn't let her go home early. could hardly keep still" she said, impulslvely: and the manager gave her a swift. pleasant smile. the like of which he had be- slowed upon the little saleswoman. / Even in the daily grind of the shop there should be room for some pleas ures for the young" he said. Are you getting tired of waiting?'
 T won't wait longer. I'll leave the matter to you. Whatever you do will be all right. I know. But please don: let the head of the department be hard on the clerk who sold me the goods. I've just thought that maybe I was careless in making my selectlon."- Youths Companion.

The building of the San Diego & Arizona

rial Valley, is going to open up a lot Of new
and valuable country the east slope Of the
mountains in eastern San Diego county and in

Is Coachella valley. where flowing wells have
been furnishing water for irrigation for sew
lie located. Directly south and along the east
ern slope of this range of mountains runs
this artesian belt The San Diego & Arizona
railroad goes right across this belt; all
through this district water comes close to the
surface; many springs are found. and the
land through this section is going to be valu-
able. now that it is to have railroad facilities.
Work is being pushed on the construction of
this road. Robt sherer & Co. Of Los An
geles, the railway contractors, are actively at
work on the grading. East from San Diego
ties and rails are being laid rapidly, and It is
hoped to have the road completed into Impe-
rial valley within eighteen months.
Much valuable government land is still open
for filing tributary to this new railroad in
the western part of Imperial valley; valuable
land, too, but hitherto inaccessible on account
OF the lack of railroad facilities. which will
fast settle up. An active movement is on to
locate parties who have never filed on gov
