it warm and quiet. Do not give
opiates. Soothe it with songs and
stories and gentle rocking. Ad-

in water. Give it gentle cathar-

If the attack is violent and the
pain intense bind a hot poultice
over the ear.
All parents may not realize the
suffering of the small child when
he has earache. tits often severe

from damp and colds.
Earache is a terrible pain, very
exhausting to the nerves, and
might produce serious results.
Protect the "earachy" child's ears
from draughts. Keep the feet
warm and dry.

to question personal and at the time so
out Of place
Tell him where you got it, wilkins" said
Beatrice Van Tuyl, so sharply that it amounted TO
a command
4 got it stopping Lord Entrstles brousham,
madam, IN London, seven years ago was the quiet
and unhestatng answer.
How" sharply asked the woman.
Il was footman for his lordshp then, madam"
went on the quiet and patient-noted voice Il had
just taken cards in when the horses frightened
by tandem bicycle going past. They threw Sid
dons, the coachman off the box as they jumped and
overturned the vehicle. His lordship was inside /
got the Teins as Of the horses went down But
he kicked me against tile broken glass and threw
out one hand, fancy TO save myself
And the coach glass cut your wrist?" asked Van
Tuy
"Yes, sir" replied the servant moving with
methodic slowness on his way about the table His
figure in its somber badge OF livery seemed almost
a pathetic one. There was no anxiety on his face,
no shadow of fear about the mild and unparticpat-
ing, eyes;
felt almost grateful for the timely entrance of the
maid Felice- In her hands she carried japanned
tin box, about the size of theatrical makeup box.
This she placed on the table beside her mistress.
rs there anything else madam" she asked.
THAT is all answered Beatrice Van Tuyl she
threw back the lid Of the japanned box. i noticed
that although the key stood in il it was unlocked.
Then my hostess looked up at the waiting butler.
And Wilkins, you can leave the cigars and liqueur
the table I'll ring if want anything"
The carefully coiffured blonde head was bent low
over the box as the servants stepped out OF the
room
you see" she said, ladling handful after handful
of glittering jewery out the white tablecloth
between her coffeecup and mine, everything is here.
Thos my rings. There's the dog collar There's
angel Jims sunburst And here's the ordinary family
junk"
sat for a moment studying that Oriental array
Of feminine adornment 1t was plainly array of
evidence discountenance me- Il felt distinct
sense Of relief when the woman in blue suddenly
dropped her eyes from my face to her jewel box
again.
Then so far were in luck And as from now on
want to be responsible for what happens, 1 said,
l reached and gathered the glittering
up in a table napkin Il think il will simplify things
ii you Van Tuyl take possession of these"
/ tied the napkin securely together and handed
it to my wondering host Then ! dropped silver
bonbon dish and bunch of hothouse grapes into the
emptied box, locking it and handing the key back to
Beatrice Van Tuyl
"And now what must do?" she asked, with a
new note of seriousness.
"Have the maid take the box back to where il
from. But be SO good 10 retain the key.
"And then what" Knocked Van Tuyl
"Then" cut in his wife. with a sudden note of
antagonism which could account for, THE
sooner we send for the police the better"
An answering note of antagonism showed on Van
Tuyl's face.
q tell you, Kerfoot. can't do IL, he objected,
even as his wife rang the bell You've got 10

and face him with it, Now what is there beside the
Turk McMeekin iten?"
Not yeti" mumured Beatrice Van Tuy warn
ingly as Wilkins and his masklike face advanced
into the
/ noticed for the first time Beatrice Van Tuyls
own eyes dwelt with quick and searching look on
her servants immobile face. Then felt her equally
searching gaze directed at knew that my fail
lre to make good would meet with seant forgive
ness She would demand knowledge, even though it
led to the discovery OF the volcanoes mminence. And
after SO much smoke it was plainly my duty to show
where the fire lay.
/ seized the conversation by the tail, as it were,
and dragged it back into the avenues OF inconse
quentiaty. We sat there, the three of us, actually
making talk for the sake of a putty-faced servant
] noticed, though, that as he rounded the table
he repeatedly fell under the quickly questioning
gaze of both his master and mistress. Time
flying, and nothing had as yet been found out.
Now" demanded Van Tuyl, when the
empty once more, what are yer sure OFF,
Nm sure Of nothing" had to confess
Then what do you propose doing? was the some
what >arctic inquiry.
/ glanced up at the wall where Ezekiah Van Tuyi,
the worthy founder Of the American branch OF the
family frowned reproyingly down at me over his
swathing black stock
Il propose" was my answer, having your great
grandfather up there let know whether am right
or whether | wrong"
And as Wilkins stepped into the room rose from
the table, walked over to the heavy framed portrait,
and lifted it from its hook | held it there with
