CHAPTER XVIII.
A Chance of Plan.

y ShanDe OF RAM
That day and the next Westerling
had no time for strolling in the gar
den. His only exercise was a few
periods Of pacing on the veranda. Tur-
cas-, as tirelessly industrious as ever,
developed an increasingly quiet insist
ence to leave the responsibility of de-
cisions about everything of Importance
to chief who was becoming increas-
ingly arbitrary. The attack on Enga-
dir being the jewel of Westerling's
own planning, he was disinclined to
risk success by delegating authority,
which also meant sharing the glory of
victory.
Bouchard's note, though officially dis
missed as a matter of pathology. would
not accept dismissal privately. In
flashes of distinctness it recurred to
him between reports of the progress
of preparations and directions as to
dispositions. At dusk of the second
day, when all the guns and troops had
their places for the final movement un-
der cover Of darkness and he rose
from his desk, the thing that had
edged its way into a crowded mind
took possession of the premises that
strategy and tactics had vacated. 1t
passed under the same analysis as his
work. His overweening pride, so SEN
sitive to the suspicion of a conviction
that he had been fooled, put his rela-
tions with Marta in logical review. He
had fallen in love in the midst of war.
A cool and intense impatience pos
sess d him to study her in the light
of his new skepticism, when, turning
the path of the first terrace, he saw
her watching the sunset over the crest
of the range.
She was standing quite still, a slim.
soft shadow between him and the light,
which gilded her figure and quarter
profile. Did she expect him? he Won
dered. Was she posing at that in
stant for his benefit? When she
turned, her face in the shadow. the
glow of the sunset seemed to remain
in her eyes, otherwise without express
sion, yet able to detect something un-
usual under externals as they ex-
changed commonplaces of greeting.
We'll, there's a change in our Off
cial family. We have lost Bouchard-
transferred to another post!" said
Westerling.
Marta noted that, though he gave
the news a casual turn, his scrutiny
sharpened.
Us that SO? I can't say that my
mother and l shall be sorry," she re-
marked. "He was always glaring at
us as if he wished US out of sight.
Indeed, II he had his way, l think he
would have made us prisoners of war.
Wasn't he a woman-hater?" she con-
cluded, half in irritation, half in
amusement
He had that reputation" said Wes-
terling. What do you think led to
his departure?" he continued.
II confess l cannot guess!" said
Marta, with look at the sunset glow
as II she resented the loss of a min
ute OF it.
There has been a leak of informa-
ton to the Browns!" he announced.
There has! And he was intelli-
gence officer. wasn't he?" she asked,
turning to Westerling, her curiosity
apparently aroused as matter of cour.
tesy to his own interest in the SUBJ
ject.
who do you think he accusedq
Why, you," he added. with a peculiar
laugh.
She noted the popularity of the
laugh discriminatiagly

all the world.
Widows are always telling you their
troubles, but widowers look like they
haven't any troubles TO tell.
Widowers are classy dressers and
have lots of good clothes. When a
man is married man he does not
care how he looks, and he wears trou-
sers THAI bag at the knee, and com
Portable collars, and any kind of a
necktie. But when a man becomes a
widower the first thing he does is TO
go out and buy himself a lot of good
clothes and the latest thing in neck
ties and collars.
do not know why this is so. but
II is so.
There is also another curious thing
about widowers that I do not under
stand, and that is that when a man
becomes a widower he looks about
twenty years younger than he did
while his wife was alive. When his
wife was alive he walked with his
shoulders hunched over and he could
not go out to the theater in the
evenings because he had the rheuma-
tism. but when he becomes a widower
he straightens up and takes tango
lessons.

Lookout for the Acid Mouth.

In a healthy mouth the acid secreted
by the mucus membrane of the gums is
Immediately neutraliZed by the saliva
It Is not uncommon, however to ind ex-
amples OF "acid mouths" cases where
the saliva shows an acid reaction. In
such cases the teeth are peculiarly liable
to decay and need constant and expert
care.
The principal source of acidity. how
ever. is found in the fermentation of par
ticles Of food about the gums and teeth.
The mouth is an ideal breeding place for
bacteria, and the production of decay in
the teeth is due to the bacteria formed in
this way
The first stage OF decay In the wearing
away of the protecting covering Of
enamel until the dentine beneath is
reached. II this process is located before
the enamel Is worn through, a protecting
covering can be affixed and the decay ar
rested. At this period there is no pain
or discomfort and therefore, unless a dem
list examines the mouth, no notice is apt
to be taken of the condition until the
dentine has been attacked which subjects
the nerve tissue and blood vessels in the
center of the tooth to irritation and after
wards to Inflammation.

soft mass OF blood vessels and nerves,
connecting with larger nerves and blood
vessels by means of the channel in the
tooth root.
The foundation for a good set Of teeth
is undoubtedly started in the embryonic
state. Concealed III each infants jaw at
birth are the ten temporary teeth, the
crowns of which are already formed of
hard tissue. Besides these and in pro-
cess of formation are the permanent
teeth which in the course OF seven years
are 10 replace the milk teeth, and in ad-
dition on the back of the jaw are the
beginnings OF the six permanent molars.
Thus in various stages of development
the jaws OF the new born child contain
ifty-two teeth. twenty-six in each jaw
The growth and well-being OF the child
depend largely on the proper develop
ment Of the teeth, Of the strength of their
formation and the way they are placed in
the jaw. This later condition which is
most important In mastication is not a
matter OF chance or haphazard. If the
teeth are not properly placed in the jaw,
they will not meet properly and food will
be insufflciently masticated. Artificial
feeding. rubber ''piciners," thumb suck
ing 1t is believed by the best physicians
are causes Of deformities in the forma-
ton of the jaw and position OF the teeth.
Proper food for bono development, pure
air and cleanliness are the important fac
tors in the nutrition and therefore in
the development OF the teeth

First Teeth Should Be Guarded.

1t is g mistake TO assume that the first
teeth are not important and to neglect
them. II not properly brushed and clean
ed, decay will set up early. the enamel
will be pierced and an aching tooth will
be the result. These teeth fall away nat
urally at the beginning Of the eighth
year. The roots become absorbed gradu-
ally, the crown of the tooth becomes
loosened and only a slight force Is neces-
sary to detach 1t from the gums. When
the tooth becomes loosened naturally. II
is a sign that the permanent tooth is
ready to take its place in the jaw.
Before taking up the question OF the
care of the teeth 1t may be useful to fol-
low the process OF decay. Dental carries.
or decay, invariably attacks the outside
of tho tooth and is due entirely to the
presence of outside agents. AS explained
in an earlier part of the lesson, acid,
even a weak acid, has a disintegratins
effect on even the hard enamel of the
tooth and after this is penetrated affects
very rapidly the softer dentine beneath
the enamel This acid Is constantly
found IN the mouth.

Mrs. Watt Helm has the thanks OF

three miles south of Macon. A wol.-

we know, that is not in a fairly gooc
