those words were never on his tongue.
He merely lay for silent hours, and
thought about them and with each
day of thought the sadness grew deep

Not that he dwelt upon this alone.
There were many other things to
occupy his mind, by turns. In his
desperate illness he had come up

WALNUT BEACH BARS
 NEW YORK CHILDREN

Walnut Beach, Aug. 30.-Due to the general excitement concerning infan- tile paralysis which at present is in evidence among the residents of Wal nut beach, and the numerous com plaints made recently in regard to the lax manner in which the local au- thorities are carrying out the various ordinances, has caused Health Off, ficer Putney to take matters in his own hands, and from now on, the re- sort will be watched with a keen eye and will be well taken care of.
 Children from New York regardless of their age, will not be allowed to stop here unless they can show a cer- tificate, while any person under the age of fifteen years, is absolutely re- tricted from coming here, with or without a certificate. That this or dinance is in action is proved by the fact that two New York families who arrived here late yesterday afternoon, were ordered to return. Both had a number of children with them and none were allowed to set foot on the Walnut beach shore. As far as the present health conditions of the re- sort go, Walnut beach was never healthier. No sign of the epidemic is in evidence.
