We left the Island early next

way to bring II about. When you

Scudder and consulted. He
was willing to lose his tenants
provided he didn't lose the rent,
The rent was nothing; promised
to make that good until your sea-
son here was over and Eureka
could return home. But / made
1t clear that when she did return
home her father mustn't return
with her. He must be provided
for somewhere else. Then we
saw the doctor and Morton, the
minister. So between us we fixed
it up.
"Old Sparrow is offered a job
as general shoveler and brick car

They're building a new addition

to me. He has been offered the
place. II he doesn't accept, why

him he can't stay in his house
any longer. You should have

last night"
"S'pose he don't accept"
asks. what about the children?

Eureka will stay with us. Editha
and the baby will be roomed and
fed by the minister. The others
are to have good boarding places
and go to school.
They were waiting for us on
the corner. DR.. Penrose was
there, and Mr.. Morton, the min.
lister, and Cap'n Benijah Pound
i berry, chairman of selectmen
and Scuddei, and Peter T. Brown,
manager of the Old Home House.
The crowd of us marched into the

The White Plague,

The fat was all in the fire, Hart
ley's scheme to help Eureka had
gone to pot to see the kittle bile.
Instead of getting rid of Papa
Sparrow, it had fetched that old
Ihypocrite right over to eat and
sleep and groan under our very
noses.
Eureka come out to the garden,
where l was working the next
morning.
Now, them" says she, sharp,
I"I want to know all about It,"

So" she snaps. Didn't you know
no better than that? Didn't you
know that a girl who's as far gone
with charity as Miss Page is would
be sure to go and see Pa and want
to do for him? I've found out
that she's been giving him money
for medicine and things for over
a week."
Next day Eureka stayed at
home and shut up the house, and
that night she and Washy come to
the Island to stay all the time.
They had rooms in the back part
of the house, three flights up.
i Ozone Island was chock full of
secrets and whisperings by this
time. Van kept up his little side

Scudder; and Hartley seemed to

One week in September, news
come that Dewey, the Sparrow
baby, was sick with a cold over to

to go over there for day or so

A ChiId,s Shamnoo.

The quality of the shampoo will de-
pend on the condition of the hair.
Scalps given to an excessive flow of
oil are much improved by a teaspoon
full of salt put in the water just pre-
ceding the soapy rub, but for the dry
head, the one that shows harsh, bris-
Ting or perhaps faded hair, raw eggs,
an oily soap and a preliminary rub of
the scalp with olive oil or yaseline are
needed.
The shampoo over, there should be
relays of heated towels to dry the
small head as quickly as possible, for
this promotes not only good temper in
the child, but aids in the matter of
pretty hair by freeing it quickly from
the water. When the locks are thor
oughly dry a tonic lotion or dressing
may be used with benefit by massag-
ing it into the scalp, and for those who
cannot afford the prepared article a
few drops of olive oil mixed with a
t~easpoonful of bay rum or some dainty
toilet water are beneficial. This last
ceremony gets the dry, fly away hair
glossy and shipshape again, and the
spirits and friction keep off the posi-
bility of the child taking cold.

An Hours Walk.

If you are a business woman and
your free hours are very few you al
arrange to take half an hours exercise
in the morning before going to work
and half an hour after Office hours be-
fore going home.
Walk during this period, drinking In
the air in deep breaths, filing your
lungs to their greatest capacity. This
will clear your brain after the days
work and will invigorate you In the
morning, putting you In splendid con
dition to combat wearisome routine.
If you will stick to your walking pro-
gram for a month or two you will see
the roses creeping into your cheeks,
the sparkle coming back into you're e
the freshness returning to your skin
and youth in your step.
