Hunting a Husband
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER.

GER Of Helen's displeasure sink into
insigniflcance. But, she reflected sud
denly, before she went any further
toward attempting to ascertain how
Paul Maynard was progressing, she
would make her peace with Helen.
Then he could think more collectedly.
To this end she wrote the following
note to her friend:
Dear Helen-Busy as 1 am this
morning, must correct an impression
which my telephone conversation has
evidently produced on your mind,
namely, that l am not thinking Of
YOUR dear brother day and night. You
can hardly expect me to discuss with
YOU a matter which is, after all, be-
tween him and myself, and a condi-
ton OF affairs with which he is con-
tent at present. The future nobody
knows. 1 am sorry that you could
misjudge my motive in calling you up
this morning. l was lonely and want
ed a chat with you. Forgive me for
trespassing upon the time of one 10
whom owe more than can ever re-
pay. Your regretful and devoted
friend, BEATRICE"
Not My Fault
'There!" she exclaimed. as she
sealed the letter and went out into the
hall to drop it down the apartment
house mail chute that is off my
mind! If Helen fails to understand
me and trust me it is not my fault"
She did not analyZe her motives
deeply enough to know that she re-
sented the fact that Helen had per-
ceived just what those motives were
Beatrice was not in the habit of look
ing her soul frankly and honestly IN
the face.
When the children had gone out to
say, Beatrice, with a hand that trem-
bed slightly. took the telephone re-
ceiver from it's hook and called up the
number of the hospital in which Paul
-Iaynard lay. In an unsteady voice
She inquired as to How Mr.. Maynard
was feeling"

German Doctors Interested In Case Of
Baby Which Lived for Nearly
Four Years.

Berlin.-The German medical press
records the remarkable case of child
which lived for nearly four years with
out any trace of a forebrain. Neu-
rologists explain that the case demon
strates the absolute dependence Of
human being on the fore or sentient
brain, and shows that human cannot
carry on the ordinary processes neces-
sary for his preservation without it..
The fish or frog without the
forebrain has greater capability than
had the child in question. This child
revealed no trace whatever of this
vital brain section. SO its ner-
vous system was absolutely sim
liar to that of fish. though the lat
ter is capable OF performing all the
vital functions necessary for nutrition
and self-defense.
The case of the child is especially
noteworthy because OF the long dura-
ton of life. In other cases the brain

A HERO in A SkIFF

There are now more than 200
species of birds which may be looked
for regularly along the lake during
the time of migration, Mr. Guelph re-
ports. There are also about twenty
species that can be seen occasionally,
and twelve which have been seen but
few times and are rare.
A Hudson curlew, a willet, and a
knot, birds rarely found in western
New York, were seen there this year,
Mr.. Guelph says. The knot is a bird
that goes far into the Arctic regions
to breed, and 1t migrates in winter
to the extreme southern part of
South America.
A blue goose, one of the rarest OF
the larger water fowl, also was seen
this year. There are only six records
of its having been seen before in this
state.
Gsllinules, or mud hens" are more
plentiful this season than for several
years. Black ducks have been com
mon throughout the season, Mr..
Guelph says, and early ducks are
more plentiful now than they have
been for long time. Mr. Guelph
says that probably there will be good
duck shooting when the season opens.

and the movements of the child did
not differ in any respect from those of

In the case under discussion the

dition of continual sleep. Its arms
were fiexed and rigid. 1t was unable

Mr.. Guelph for two years has given
