There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request. and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The 9TH
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub. and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than In the
approved manner. After several at
temps to keep the misguided ducks
straight. the older boy shouted:
Stand up. duck, stand up!" Then
two-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase. leaned over the tub and ex.
horted: "'Tand up. duckl 'Tand up

CHAPTER xi.


Hands were fumbllng with the chain
at the dungeon door.
II opened and Jeekum's ashen face
shone In the candle-light For moment
his frightened eyes rested on the two
men still standing in their last en-
brace of friendship. A word of be-
trayal from them aud he knew that
his own doom was sealed.
He came in. followed by four men.
One OF them was MacDougall. the
kings whipper. In the corridor were
other faces. like ghostly shadows in
the darkness. Only MacDougall's face
was uncovered. The others were hid
den behind white masks. The men
uttered no sound. but ranged them.
selves like specters In front of the
door. their cooked rifles swung into
the crooks of their arms. There was
triumphant leer on MacDougalrs
lips as he and the jailer approached.
AS the whipper bound Neil's hands
behind his back he Kissed in his ear:
This will be a better job than the
whipping damn you,"
Neil laughed
Hear that. Nat?" he asked. loud
enough for all I'm the cell to hear.
"MacDougall says this will be better
Job than the whipping. He remem-
beers how thrashed him once when
he said something to Marion one day"
Nell was as cool as though acting
his part in a play. His face was
flushed. his eyes cleaned fearIessly
defiant And Nathaniel. looking upon
the courage of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope of
life. felt twinge of shame at his
own nervousness. MacDougall grew
black with passion at the haunting re-
ininder OF his humiliation and tight
ened the thongs about Neirs wrists
until they cut into the flesh.
That's enough. you coward" ex-
claimed Nathaniel. as he saw the
blood start. "Here-take this,"
Like lightning he struck out and his
list fell with crushing force against
the side OF the mans head. Mac
Dougall toppled back with a hollow
groan. blood squirting from his mouth
and nose. Nathaniel turned coolly to
the four rifles leveled at his breast.
"A pretty puppet to do the kings
commands" he cried IF there's n
man among you let him finish the
work."
Jeekum had fallen upon his knees
beside the whipper.
Great Cod" he shrleked. You've
killed him! You've stove in the side
of his head"
: There was a sudden commotion in
the corridor. A terrible voice doomed

HOME
NURSING
THE SICK ROOM.

Inc choice of the sick room Is very
important. A patient in a dark. poor
ly ventilated one has a harder battle
to fight than one in a properly select
ed room 1t should be on the sunny
side OF the house. well ventilated and
as far as possible from the noise Of
the streets and the odors OF the
kitchen.
In arranging the room. all unneces-
sary furniture should be removed. es-
pecially bric-a-brac. which forms q
repository for stray germs. The floor
10 preferably bare. although small
rugs or strips Of carpet should be laid
down to deaden the noise of foot
steps. Place the bed In a position 80
that the direct light from a window
does not fall on the patients eyes.
Provide an artificial light that also is
shaded from the patients eyes, but
which can be turned on brightly in
case OF necessity. Sudden changes may
arise In the night, when a good light
is an absolute necessity and few mo-
ments delay may mean disaster. In
cases OF diseases of the brain or eyes
the physician will probably wish to
keep the room darkened. Care should
be taken that the curtain or shade
does not flap in the wind and SO annoy
the patient.
The temperature or the room should
be kept as even as possible. Remem-
Der that the temperature usually falls
at night during the time when the vi
tai powers of the patient are at the
lowest. that is. in the early morning
hours. Because of this. care should
be taken to provide extra covers at
that time. Unless otherwise directed,
1t is safe to keep the temperature Of
the room for a fever patient at about
60 degrees Fair. For patients affiict-
ed with other diseases. the thermome-
ter should register about IS degrees
Fair. The temperature of the room
must be regulated by turning the arti-
fetal heat on or on. not by closing
windows that are needed for ventila-
ton. In some cases dry heat from a
furnace is very Irritating. This may
be remedied by keeping kettle of
boiling water in the room. To keep
the room cool in hot weather Is not
always an easy matter. Keeping the
blinds down and the windows closed
on the sunny side during the day will
produce very good results. A wet
sheet. hung In the window or where
a breeze will blow over It. often Is a
material aid In cooling the room. II
an electric fan is used. care must be
taken that the direct current does not
strike the patient.
Good ventilation Is necessary In
every disease. Formerly patients were
confined In dark rooms with all doors
and windows closed. II Is surprising
how many recovered under these con-
ditions. Sunshine and fresh air are
natures two most potent remedies. In
cold weather II may not be desirable
to have the windows open In the pa
TENTS room. but In this case windows
in an adjoining room should be low
cred and the door between the rooms
left open. Usually though. the room
can be ventilated directly. Raise the
window about six inches from the bot
tom; ut a board tightly under It.
Fresh air will then came In between
the two sashes and danger Of = direct
draft on the patient will be avoided.
Every morning the room should be
thoroughly ventilated by throwing
open all windows and doors for a few
