THE SICK-A-BED LADY BY Flea

"Oh, Boy. come back" she cried. "Ill
be good. What do you want?"
The Young Doctor came doubtfully.
do you understand me to-day?" he
asked in a voice that sent an ominous
chill to her heart Can you think pretty
clearly to-day?"
She nodded her head. "Yes," she an
swered; tits a good day"
do you know what marriage is?" he
asked abruptly.
ooh, yes" she said. but her face
clouded perceptibly.
Then he took her in his arms and told
her plainly, brutally clumsily. without
preface, without comment, Honey, you
are going to have a child"
For n second her mind wavered before
him. He could actually see the totter
in her eyes, and braced himself for the
final hopeless crash. but suddenly all
her Being focused to the realizatio OF
his words and she pushed at him with
her hands and cried: "No, no, oh, my
God-n-o!" and tainted in his arms.
When she woke up again the little
girl look was all gone from her face
and though the Young Doctor smiled
and smiled and smiled he could not smile

him quizzically.

startled and sharp with terror.
"Oh, Boy--Boy," she cried. "the

The Young Doctor tried to replace the

The Young Doctors face was like

Just Boy" she said with sweet,
contented positiveness.
The Young Doctor shivered and got
up and started to leave the room, but It
the threshold he stopped resolutely and
came back and sat down again.
This time he took his Mothers we'd
ding ring from his little finger and
twirled it with apparent aimlessness in
his hands.
It's CLINT caught the Sck-a-Bed Lady's
eye, and she took it daintily in her fin
gers and examined it carefully. Then
she crinkled up her forehead and started
to get out of bed. The Young Doctor
watched her with agonlzed interest. She
went direct to her bureau and began
to search diligently through all the
drawers, but when she reached the
lower drawer and found some bright
colored ribbons she forgot her original
quest, whatever 1t was, and brought all
the ribbons back TO bed with her.
The Young Doctor started to leave
her again, this time with "A little gesture
which she took to be anger. but he had
not gone further than the head of the
stairs before she called him back in a
voice that was startlingly mature and
reasonable.

Sweetheart" he whispered at last,
do you remember what l told you?"
YES" she answered gravely, 1T re-
member that, but l don't remember
what 1t means. Is it all right? Is 1t
all right to you?"
Yes" answered the Young Doctor,
its-all-right tome"
Then the Sick Bed Lady turned her
little face YEARLY away on her pillow
and went back to those dreams Of hers
which no one could fathom.
For all the dragging weeks and
months that followed she lay in her
bed or CROPPED her way round her room
in sort OF timid stupor. Whenever
the Young Doctor was there she chung
to him desperately and seemed to find
her only comfort in his presence, but
when she talked To him 1t was babblng

step depends on the season Of the year.
In the winter months or the late au-
tumn 1t is the building of the tiny
house, the "Laube," whence the name
Laubenkolonie.
Some pretentious individuals go TO the
nearest lumber yard, pick out what rs
required and have the material. all
sawed to proper lengths, delivered at
their gardens. The overwhelming ma
jority of colonists, however. depend on
the lowly dry goods box and egg crate.
With Teutonic patience they carefully
knock these apart, hammer out the
myriad nails and build rheir houses from
this material. The results attained are
often astonishing and almost always
creditable. The majority of the col
onists are handworkers, accustomed to

the necessity for crop succession and
crop rotation.
Many Of the Lauben colonists are per-
sons who have come to the capital city
from the country, bringing with them
the thorough knowledge of the German
farmer, but one notes with establishment
that even the Berlin policeman, letter
carrier, cabinetmaker or street cleaner
VINO may never have been far away from
the great city, knows more about gar
dening than does the average American
farmer. He knows the uses of a hot
bed, which still remains sealed book to
all but comparatively few of the casual
gardeners of America. and as soon as
the frost is out of the ground in the
spring his plants are ready to be sci
out.

Some Of the colonists sleep in their
Lauben. although this is a violation of
police regulations. and a number have
been fined for doing so. The colonists
Of Berlin, who are for the most part
members of a general verein covering
the whole city. have appealed to the
Minister of the Interior of Prussia for a
RECESSION Of the regulation. and it is
possible that their appeal will succeed
The appeal has been supported by the
entire press of Berlin, which has laid
stress on the fact that for probably the
majority Of these people the only possi-
BILE approach to a summer outing is the
opportunity to spend at least the week
ends in their gardens.

thirty State flags to choose from great
numbers of the colonists devise fan

there ds no really high grade soil in the
empire. Furthermore It has been
farmed for centuries. Despite this the
German farmer takes from his land
yields Of from 100 to $50 per cent. more
than those of American farms.
There are two chief causes for this.
In the first place he has learned the
value of fertilizers. Ten times as much
potash alone 9s used per acre in Ger
many as in America, to say nothing Of
other fertilizers including manure. The
second explanation is the intensive way
in which the German farms. Every

part, and the poorest German peasant

An important department Of life in
the Laubenkolonien is the keeping of
hens and rabbits. Most Of the colonists

There Is only one important pre-

says: about two years ago 1 had a
severe spell of sickness and was laid
up for several months. After re-
covering, / found that my kidneys
were disordered. My back ached all
the time and / also had headaches. A
few months ago I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills and they improved my
condition SO greatly that l consider
it pleasure to recommend them
