RlNGW0RM ON CHILD's FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son mad
ringworm on the face. First 1t was in
small red spots which had rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
Of birds egg. They had white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles OF liniment,
but nothing helped.

DOCTOR AND NURSE
Formers Love Stood the ST.
preme Test at Operating Ia
BILE in Hospital.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Nurse Glynn tapped quickly at the
door Of Doctor Bentley's room In the
Central hospital, and then entered
without further ceremony. The doctor
was seated at his table, writing; he
had not heard her knock. AS she ap-
preached he turned round in his chair,
got up, and took her In bis arms and
kissed her.
I'm wanted?'' he asked.
Eyes, dear. An emergency case.
A child has been knocked down by an
automobile. His leg is broken and
there are internal injuries"
Are they getting him ready?" asked
the doctor, slipping into his linen
overalls.
Hes being anaesthetized now"
Nurse Glynn answered, and kissed
him again. % my dear, how glad l
shall be when Easter comes. Then
we shall be together always-no more
of these hasty meetings"
She went out noiselessly, and Doctor
Bentley, having completed his pre-
parations, followed her into the oper-
ating room. The little patient lay
upon the glass table, ready for his
scalpel. At the head sat. the nurse,
pouring out, from time to time, a few
drops of ether upon the mask which
covered the lower. part of the face.
But although she watched the boy at.
tentively she also watched the doctor;
and she watched him with some sort
of intuitive faculty of sight, SO that,
without failing in her duty, she was as
conscious of him as of the child.
For this was to be the supreme
measure by which she might under
stand his love for her, whether strong
and abiding, or pitiful thing born OF
loneliness OH the one side and propin
guilty upon the other. She was not
sure of him; she could not be sure I'M
til he met the mother of the child on
his way out.
He did not know that this was his
own child upon which he was operat
ing SO deftly. His skilful fingers
picked up the shattered filaments Of
muscle and flesh, uniting them for his
assistants sutures. His scalpel cu1

bones within. None at the Central
hospital bore such reputation for
deft and careful surgery as Doctor
Bentley.
They had been engaged three
months. She knew what was a COM
mon report, that he had been married
before, unhappily; that his wife had
gone west and obtained divorce upon
the technical ground of iesertion; that
she had returned, to marry Anthony
Blair, the millionaire, who could af-
ford to give her those Injuries which
her butterfly soul desired, and which
the doctor, immersed in his work,
had never dreamed of as necessary
to her, nor been able to crafty.
But that there had been child she
did not know till that evening when
Mrs. Blair appeared with white face
at the hospital gates and pleaded for
the crippled baby that had been
knocked down. She carried it in her
arms, and Nurse Glynn would never
forget the look of terror upon her
face. That it was the doctors child
she knew, for 1t must have been four
years old, and it was only three years
since the couple had separated.
Well, when he knew, would his
heart turn with yearning toward his
child and cast her out utterly, even
though he knew that the past could
be undone?
The operation was almost ended
The last instrument was replaced ir

Bentley was sponging the sewn tbs

off his gloves. He Invested himself

doctor say. "Take him up to TIN

She wheeled the table into the ad

the stretcher, and began pushing i
through into the passage. The VIC

"Oh, doctor, is he dead? He Is not
dead? He will live then? You must
save him!" Then came the little *
clamation of recognition and then
silence. The two were standing alone.
For the news of the meeting had
spread among the other nurses and
the hospital staff, and they tactfully
disappeared.
"Oh, it's you," the nurse heard Mrs.
Blair exclaim, in an embarrassed
voice.

you that he will recover and that the

She was still trembling, still overcome
by the shock Of the meeting Her
little butterfly mind was badly bruised,
even as the child's little body had

Frenchmen have never liked oats;
doctors have urged them to try the

But one group of Frenchmen could

RAY LOOKED
upon AS
MARVEL
Young British Champion Will
Give Local Golfers a Treat
at IngleSide
By H. MCDONALD SPENCER

Allow me to introduce Ed Ray, the
youngest and latest of the great open
golf champions of Great Britain.
The big Channel islander accom-
paines or is accompanied by Harry
Vardon, who likewise comes from
Jersey. in a triumphant tour OF the
United States and will be seen in ac-
ton at the Ingleside links Thursday.
Friday and Saturday.
Ray won the open event at Muir
field in 1912 with 2s5 strokes, easily
leading his field. which comprised the
best of the golfng world, and incl
dentally establishing the champion
ship record of the course.
Ray is probably the most spectacu-
lar of the great golfers on account of
his prodigious hitting abilities, so far
does he drive of the tee that he sell
dom has recourse to a brassie for his
second shot. and he is noted for max
ing his approaches with a niblick,
which by others is generally used for
bunker work or bad lies only.
1t is this use of the niblick which
distinguishes Rays play and stamps
it with marked individuality.
He is the most imperturable player
on the links today, with the possible
exception of James Braid. and his
scoring in all games since he won
the championship has been the best
in Great Britain. which entities him
to be ranked with the great trium-
virate,' composed of Braid, vardon
and Taylor.
While his style has not the finish
of Braid's nor the natural ease and
grace of Vardon's. and lacks, perhaps.
the extraordinary soundness of Tay-
Ior's, yet his temperamental advan-
tages. combined with his great length
and forcefulness, make him fully the
equal of any of the big three
In spite of his length, he is seldom
off the line, and his recovery powers
are SO remarkable that he is enabled
to make up for any ordinary disad-
vantage caused by indirectfon.
He is more than feet and weighs
zoe pounds, smokes pipe constantly
while playing and is always good
natured apd easy going.
Like Vardon. he has great length
of carry as compared to total dis
tance, and in a recent competition
carried 240 yards to $50 yards of the
total distance.
