And he kept still as still could be:
His interest was of such degree
To watch the while he could not fail.
He watched her aim blow-a whale
And when she hit her finger-gee!
He saw her start
And then he snickered low, did he,
And knowing better, let prevail
His ribald mirth, this horrid male;
Then saw no more, because, you see
He saw her start.

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What DO the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
That they know children should not
have. Perhaps 1t is some rich dessert
but more often It is tea or coffee.
II is better to have some delicious,
hot food. drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that 1t will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: 81 used
coffee many years in spite of the con.
viction that 1t injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting friend I was
served with Postum and determined
to get package and try 1t myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired--a delicious, finely favored, rich
ly colored beverage. Since quit cof-
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication Of kidney trouble.
"You may be sure find It a great
comfort to have q warm drink at
meals that I can give my children,
with a clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

SHORTAGE or DOCTORS
HAMPERS BRITISH ARMY

London-All medical men through
out the country, regardless Of age, are
being asked to enroll themselves to
meet IAN urgent national need" The
work of enrolment is being conducted
by the medical war committees in Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland.
For military purposes the service age
of doctors is up to As, but medical men
beyond that age can give their services
to home hospitals and therefore they,
as well as doctors Of military age, are
being enrolled.
The idea Of making q complete en-
rollment is not only to insure salts
factory medical service for the army
but also to safeguard the needs OF the
civil population. In some districts
there has recently been a great scarcity
of doctors. due mainly TO enlistments.
The medical war committees also
hope to effect an Improvement in the
manner in which medical specialists Of
various kinds are being used, there
having been many complaints that
their services were not being utilized
to the best advantage.
The reports of the committees on the
British medical service in the war
zone state that II is very efficient"
In none Of the main theaters OF war
has there been any lack of high surgical
and medical skill. Recently there have
been complaints about the service in
this district were already being remedi-
ed when the complaints came to public
attention. H| -. '3
Each war center OF surgical work is
in charge OF q leading specialist, who
obtains all the assistance that he asks
for and can utilize. In France, the
wounded soldiers are quickly treated
at the front hospitals. and then rushed
to England for further attention. The
transport and other machinery between
the front clearing stations and the
great hospitals in England has been
perfected until 1t works almost auto
matically. ~.
Doctors who have enrolled for serv-
Ice at the front have few complaints.
There have been several instances,
however, in which physicians with a
good practice at home, who have en-
listed for patriotic reasons, have found
that q neighbor in their absence has
confiscated their practice. One Of the
objects OF the scheme of enrolment
is to prevent such injustices by
making the stay-at-home doctor do his
share In caring for wounded In the
home hospitals.

He moved away. When he had gone
Buck swung from his horse.
I'm sure 1 don't know why stayed
here with you" observed Jess.
"P'raps you is better at addin' than

"P'raps," assented Jess. IT'D be hard
to add to your nerve, Buck; an seems
faint possible to lessen 1t. l don't

TT might be easier to say how" he
answered, his laugh amused.
Jess turned to Perry Green's horse
giving her companion no reply beyond
the protest of her back.
Day was breaking now. Over the
wide plain an exquisite, tender gray
was stealing, soft and cool. The damp
ness of dew made the parched earth
fresh and sweet. The silence was that
Of the still sea at ebb.
The subtle influence of the primal
hour struck a sudden seriousness in the
young cowpuncher's heart. His eyes
bitterness that had been his died in the
onrush of his love. He strobe over to

Jess spoke so softly that her voice
Nas scarce above a murmur.
II don't scorn you, Buck; but amt
no love for you--or for any man." She
looked at him with a quick fearless
ness. 1--WE scrap" she said, for the

It might not have been wise, but 1t
was characteristic of Buck to say:
Then I'm goin' to make you come
to have use for me, Jess. There amt
no soil so poor an measly you can't
make love grow in it."
Jess laughed. Strangely, it was not
an angry laugh, and she turned her
eyes away to the eastern horizon,
flushed now to q delicate pink and rose
where the unseen sun was heralding
his coming.

He stopped and took up the body of
Blass Cardross, carrying ii to a little
tool shed near. There he laid 1t down
out of the free heat OF the sun.
Against the wall rested Cardross' rifle
and book he had been reading when
Jess Kilrain had come upon the dam.
Buck pointed to them In silence, turn
ing to Jess in the doorway.
There was murder in his heart to-
day." he said, after a moment. Come

Cardross sprang toward her to be

will cost you yourself, Jess Kilrain!"
Then his arms closed about her.

Yet that is practically what Is done when
a telephone caller greets the responding
Hello" with 'Who Is this?' There are
many little annoyances In telephone
usage, but this is perhaps one of the most
provoking. To be called to the phone and
then asked to establish identity is calcu-
lated to unbalance the equanimity. es-
pecially Of a busy person.
Telephone practice Is, after all. largely
a matter Of manners, notwithstanding the
separation In distance of the persons who
are talking. Probably the one who asks
WHO Is this?'' on calling another is men,
tally off guard, momentarily, on hearing
voice other than that which Is expected,
but even so the effect on the person who
Is called Is unfortunate.
Telephone users should always bear in
mind the fact that 1t is best to establish
their own identity first of all when the

question as to who 10 speaking from the

2O0O CITY LOTS MAY BE SOLD FOR
 DELINQUENT TAX
Paving District No, 27 En- ters Suit to Collect for
 Cemetery Road.

Approximately 2,0O0 lots and par cels of land in Pine Bluff are involved in suit for delinquent taxes filed in the chancery court here yesterday by Attorneys Coleman & Can't, repre- senting the board of improvement of Paving district No. 27, known as the cemetery district. The suit is to col lect taxes, 20 per cent penalty and cost.
 The amounts sued for range from z cents up, and it is thought that many property owners allowe dthe tax to become delinquent through forget fitness, failing to remember that the entire city is included in the district formed to pave the street to the ceme- tery.
 Judge John M. Elliott issued an or der providing that s2.50 be allowed as attorneys fee for plaintiffs attorney on each lot or parcel on which the tax is paid before the final hearing, and that the amount be taxed as costs. This fee will be double if the tax is not paid before the decree is entered.
 It is understood that many of the parcels returned as delinquent are of no value, or have caved into the riv- CT since the district was formed.
 The list of delinquents covers PIP pages, there being an average of ten items to each page.

GIVE UP SEARCH
 FOR BOTTLE IN
 ORPE1 MYSTERY
Two Ounce Bottle Found Near Scene of Alleged Mur-
 der Not Poison Phial.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-One of the most powe rful bits of evidence held by the prosecution in it's aim to convice Wm. H. Orpet of the murder of aMrion Lambert collapsed tonight.
 A two-ounce bottle found in Helm $ woods, Lake Forest, which was be- lieved tc have been the poison con- tainer used by Orpet, was discarded
 The authorities admic%ed that the Madison druggist, who, sold the uni versity student such a bottle the day previous to the girls death, declared positively it was not the same.
 The bottle which Orpet is said to have purchased and which the prose cution claims he filled with prussia acid from his fathers garage and gave the girl to swallow, or else forced it down her throat, bore the embossment two oz.' and on the bot tie the mark "Ill Glass Co.," The container found in the woods bore no such mark.
 The search for the supposed bottle was abandoned tonight. The author ities declared they believed Orpet had hurled the bottle he used from a train window, either as he was speed ing away from the scene of the al legged crime to Chicago, or else en route from Chicago to Madison on his return.
