Annie averted her head.

ing the tray as if to go into the
kitchen.
Wait till I kiss you good-by," he
said, effusively.
Taking the tray from her, he placed
it on the table, and folding her in his
arms, he pressed his lips to hers.
"Good-by" he murmured; 81 won't

AS soon as he disappeared she gave
way completely, and sinking into a
chair, leaned her head on the table
and sobbed as If her heart would

would go away and soon forget her.
She would never see him again! But

entered, he looked questioningly at her
red eyes, but made no remark.

she stammered.
AS he took a seat in the little parlor,
he said:
Your husband passed me on the
stairs and didn't know me-"
The passage is so dark" she ex-
planned, apologetically.
He looked at her for a moment with
out speaking, and for a moment there
was awkward pause, Then he said:

Annie stared in surprise.
How do you know that?" she ex-
claimed.

He stared gloomily out of the win

thought to himself, 1t was perhaps for

he would never be able to accomplish

would take him into his business.

BABY MAKES DISTANCE MARX
EATee-Year-Old Pumps His Tricycle.
Ten Miles to See
"Paua,O

Zen Miles 10 see
Papa"
Il wanted to see my papa"
With this childish explanation George
Reis, jr., 3 years old, told how he had
sidden his tricycle. from Wilson Beach
10 his home. at 3247 Armitage avenue,
Chicago, distance of ten miles, Incl
dentally setting new long distance
record for infant cyclists.
George is the son of DR.. George Refs,
and since his baby days has been the
inseparable companion of his father.
Plans Of his mother to change this state
of affairs did not meet with approval.
Hence the long distance ride over the
north side boulevards and through Lin
coin park.
The other afternoon Mrs. Refs, her
daughter, Edith. and George, jr., began
what was to have been weeks visit
with Mrs. George Remus at sol Windsor
avenue. The journey from the Refs
home was made In DR.. Reis's motor car.
and the tricycle. was taken along for
George to amuse himself with while
the older members Of the family were
enjoying the bathing at Wilson Beach.
Another use for his machine" was
found by the boy. No sooner had Dr.
Refs started on his return home than
George asked: Where is my papa?"
"Oh, he'll be here in a minute. He is
coming now was the response of his
mother.
Late in the afternoon all except
George went to Wilson Beach. With no
one to answer questions as to fathers
whereabouts. the 3-year-old boy started
on tour of personal investigation.
Shortly after 5 o'clock in the evening
George appeared at his own back gate.
Dragging his tricycle. in the yard, he
knocked at the kitchen door.
Where is papa?" he asked Of his
grandmother, who answered the knock.
Il want papa and something to eat"
Just how the child made the long
trip from Wilson Beach is not known.
Il think he must have taken the same
route as we went in the machine" said
DR.. Refs. 1--WE have often made the
trip along the boulevards to Mrs.
Remus's house and he must have re-
membered the way"
II came up nice streets, and l waited
until the cars got past" said George,
jr. Il was not scared. ."-Chicago Record

A man has been stoking a furnace. let us
say. The temperature Of the room has
been over 100; the temperature of his
body has been about 100; he has been
working his musclss-heat; he has eaten
heavily of meat and bread-heat; oc-
I casionally he has taken glass Of beer

the body temperature down when this
combination has been working for few
hours is pretty severe strain on the
heat controlling centers. and sometimes
they just lie down on the job. We call
It heat exhaustion.
First Thing to DO.
What is to be done for man overcome
by heat?-for not everybody is going to
make himself over just because he is
told he ought to.
The first thing to do is to secure rest.
Loosen the clothes. AS soon as possible
the patient must have Ice on his head, he
must be undressed and put to bed. How
vigorously the fever Is to be combated Is
dependent upon the rectal temperature.
If this is below 1903, cold packs to the
head, a cool room and quiet is about as
much heat reduction as is required. II
l: ranges from 102 to liz, the body must
be put In an ice pack and ice must be
kept on the head. The temperature may
be below normal, In which event warm
body wraps are advisable. though ice te
the head is to be continued.
If the pulse is weak and thready. aro-
matte spirits Of ammonia or camphol
should be used. 1t Is better to keeI
