CHAPTER II.

Well, we got the poor old doctor
moved back to his room, and had one
of the chambermaids find him there,
and l wired to Mrs. Van Alstyne, who
was Mr.. Dicky Carriers sister, and
who was on her honeymoon in South
Carolina. The Van Alstynes came
back at once, in very bad tempers,
and we had the funeral from the
preachers house in Finleyville so as
not to harrow up the sanatorium
people any more than necessary.
After it was all over the relatives
gathered in the sun parlor of the san
atorium to hear the will-Mr. Van AL
styne and his wife and about twenty
more who had come up from the city
for the funeral and stayed over-on
the house.
Well, the old doctor left me the but
tons for his full dress waistcoat and
his favorite copy Of "Gray's Anatomy"
| couldn't exactly set up housekeeping
with my share of the estate.
They thought that was funny, but
a few minutes later they weren't so
cheerful. You see the sanatorium was
a mighty fine piece Of property with
a deer park and golf links. We'd
had plenty of offers to sell it for a
summer hotel, but we'd both been
dead against 1t. That was one of the
reasons for the will.
The whole estate was left to Dicky
Carter, who hadn't been able to come,
owing to his being laid up with an
attack of mumps. The family sat up
and nodded at one another, or held
up it's hands, But when they heard
there was a condition they breathed
easier
Beginning with one week after the
reading of the willard not day
later-Mr Dick was to take charge of
the sanatorium and to stay there for
two months without day off. If at
the end of that time the place was
being successfully conducted and
could show that it hadn't lost money.
the entire property became his for
keeps. If he failed it was to be sold
and the money given to charity.
Well. the family went back to town

had a good cry. There was man
named Thoburn who was crazy for
the property as a summer hotel, and
every time | shut my eyes | could see
"Thohurn House" over the veranda
and children sailing paper boats in the
mineral spring.
Sure enough. the next afternoon Mr..
Thoburn drove out from Finleyville
with g. suit case, and before he'd taken
OF his overcoat he came out to the
sprins-hous

to another telling how well he felt
since ne stopped eating, and trying TO
coax the other men to starve with
him.
It's funny how a man with theory
about his stomach isn't happy until
he has made some other fellow swal-
low it.
Then they all began at once. II you
have ever heard twenty people airing
their theories on diet you know all
about it. 1t always ends the same
way: the man with the loudest voice
wins, and the defeated ones limp over
to the spring and tell their theories
to me. They know I'm being paid to
listen.
But when things had got quiet-ex'
cept Mr.. Moody dropping nickels into
the slot-machine-I happened to look
over at Miss Patty, and | saw there
was something wrong. She had let

I'd been not to be a school-teacher

mustache and his hand on the handle

THE RETURNING AMERICAN TOURISTS.

The joy of getting home from Europe, of seeing
the commanding figure of the Statue of Liberty with
her appraised torch in New York harbor and of getting
once more under the shelter of the American flag
transcends the pleasure of starting for Europe and
the grand tour Many thousands of Americans who
went gaily abroad in the spring and early summer
have tearfully testified to that fact their return
Many thousands Americans marooned in
Europe are yet to express their gratitude on their
homecoming. They looking yearnngly to
America with a warmer love than they had for it
when they left these shores. All the attractions of
Europe nothing to those of their native
land.
And all American tourists, native and foreign
born have this feeling Among the crowds landed
from the liners hundreds of American cti-
zens of foreign BIRTH many of them fleeing from their
Netherlands and their joy is unconned at their safe
return to their adopted country.
The European war has taught to Americans a
new lesson of patriotism. 1t has strengthened love
of country To about $50, 900 American tourists it
has made a demonstration of the blessings of their
own land and government Some of these tourists
are of the class who in their ignorance of America
and their admiration of Europe and its ways dis
posed to disable the benefits of their country. "
The has taught them what these benefits are.
