CHAPTER xlII.-continued.

II can't go in-I can't bear to see
him SO ILL.," she whispered; and as
Aleck looked at her before entering
the sick-room, he saw that her eyes
were filled with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch, feel
Ing that the heavens had opened. Here
was a friend come to her from she
knew not whore, whose right it was
to assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good, and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish
devotion Of their schooEdays. He
would surely help; he would work
with her to keep death away. What
ever love and professional skill could
do, should be done; there had been no
question as to that, of course, from
the beginning. But here was some
one who would double, yes, more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and we'll and
capable. Her heart was thankful.
Before Aleck returned from the
Sick-room, Doctor Thayer's step sound
ed on the stairs, followed by the
mildly complaining voice of Sallie
K~ingsbury. Presently the two men
were in a low-voiced conference in
the hall. Agatha waited while they
talked, feeling grateful afresh that
Doctor Thayer's grim professional
wisdom was to be reinforced by Mr..
Van Camps resources. When the
doctor entered Agatha's room, her face
had almost the natural flush Of health.
"Ah, Miss Agatha Redmond"-the
doctor continued frequently to ad.
dress her by her full name, half in
affectionate Difference and half with
some dry sense of humor peculiar to
himself-"Miss Agatha Redmond, so
you're beginning to pick up! A good
thing, too; for | don't want two pa
tients in one house like the one out
yonder. He's a very sick man, Miss
Agatha"
Il know, doctor. l have seen him
grow worse, hour by hour, aver since
we came. What can be done?"
He needs special nursing now, and
your man in there will be worn out
presently"
"Oh, that can be managed. Send
TO Portland, to Boston, or somewhere.
We a get a nurse here soon. Do
not spare any trouble, doctor. / can
arrange"
Doctor Thayer squared himself and
passed slowly up and down Agatha's
room. He did not reply at once, and
when he did, it was with one Of his
characteristic turns toward an al
.parently irrelevant topic.
Have you seer Sister Susan?" he
Inquired, stopping by the side of
Agatha's couch and looking down on
her with his shrewd gaze. 1t was a
needless question, for he knew that
Agatha had not seen Mrs. Stoddard.
She had been too weak and i'll to see
anybody. Agatha shook her head.
We'll, Miss Agatha Redmond,
Susan's the nurse we need for that
young gentleman over there. It's con.
tstant care he must have now, day and
night; and If he gets well, 1t will be
good nursing that does 1t. There isn't
a nurse in this country like Susan
when she once takes hold Of a case
That Mr.. Hand In there is all right
but he can't sit up much longer night
and day, as he has been doing. AND
he isn't a woman. Don't know why
1t is, but the Lord seems bent or

Washington Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story

FISH stories may go and fish stories

related by Capt Charles H. Thomp-
son, a sea- beaten mariner of Miami.
Fla, makes all others appear like a
bush league alongside of Ty Cobb.
Said fish was right in the midst OF
Washington for more than five months
while a Washingtonian, j. S. Warm
beth, mounted it.
AS Captain Thompson, in company
with w. |. Brooks and a Norwegian
sailor, were cruising off the coast OF
Miami, Fla, on June /, 1912, there
hove into sight huge monster, the
like of which man never before had
laid eyes upon. A mighty struggle
for supremacy ensued and man was
declared the victor.
Five harpoons and 151 bullets were
required to subdue the monster, and it
took five days to kill it. Before it
was under control it smashed a boat
into thousands of pieces and knocked
the ruddR and propeller off a 31-ton
yacht. The crew was towed around
the ocean for 80 hours by the monster
at a speed of about 45 miles an hour.
When it was finally brought into shore
more than 5000 people were on the
steamship. ways at Miami. City Of
ficials, judges, ministers, the chief of
police, bankers, and the greater part
Of the population of Miami will vouch

London.-Just as the chin gives
qualities to the face, so the thumb
marks the personality of the hand and
is an an unerring index to mans
natural strength or weakness of char
acter, remarks London Tit-Bits.
The man WITH long, straight
thumb, square at the tip, posses good
mental capacity and can always be
relied upon to carry out successfully
any work with which he may be en-
trusted. His temperament is even

ties upon the matter in hand, COM
bined with tenacity of purpose, rapid

If the thumbs belong, thick and

prominent, a tyrannical and cruel
nature is indicated everything being
viewed from an intensely selfish stand
point.

A short thumb, tapering at the tip,
denotes an incOnstant, changeable
nature, particularly in matters of the
affections. A man with a tapering
thumb cannot concentrate and has
consequently little continuity, in addi-
ton to being unpunctual and unable
to work except in spurts. Such man
takes up many things, but finishes
nothing properly and often makes
others suffer from his indecision.
If the thumb lie close to the hand,
cautious, timid nature is indicated.
If the thumb curve outward at the
tip, adaptability to people and cir
cUmstances is shown, accompanied by
natural politeness and tendency to
