QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Syros-aHo- ar, SToBnv

Can YOU tell me whether there IS
any scientific evidence that paper
or metal money ever carries dis
ease? am a cashier in hotel and
I often wonder whether there is
any risk in handling money.
J. L. S.
Answer-No good evidence has
been produced to support the idea
that money can carry disease. If
the money and fingers are kept out
Of the mouth, and soap and water
are used at the end of each trick
Of duty. there need be no fear.
What the Doctor Means.
VIII YOU kindly tell me what my
doctor means when he says l have
endocarditis but no organic trouble2
Is it valvular heart disease or
what? Doctors who examine me
generally say "taehycardia' or 'en-
docarditis," but they all md moth
ing organic" and describe my trOu-
Bile as 'arterial" NJ. A. J.
Answer EndOcarditis is infiam-
nation of the lining membrane Of
the heart. and it is a matter of
chance whether the Inflammation
involves heart valves. Tachycardia
is our fine Italian way of saying
rapid heart action in language that
will impress the patient. Nothing
organic or only functiOnal' is Just
everyday evasion. the motive being
either ignorance and Indifference or
q desire to cheer up the patient.

the grateful feeling OF poultices.

solution, strong salt water about

CHAPTER V
In the St. Berndrds Flask


U\N7ooF! woof" barked the huge dog.
w digging away the snow from around
Peggy's head "Woof! Woof! Woof." he
barked again, and his barks seemed to say:
Take hold of my collar"
Peggy looked at his neck and saw. half
buried in his heavy fur, a large collar to
which fastened small flask. Reach.
ing up she seized the collar. The st. Ber
nard pulled back with all his strength and
drew her quickly out.
Help. Help!" came lnuffied voice from
beneath the snow
It's Billy Belgium" cried Peggy. We
must get him out before he smothers"
"Woof! Woof!" answered the St. Bernard,
sending the snow flying in all directions as
he dug after Billy Belgium. Soon he had a
great hole opened and at the bottom Of
1t was Billy Belgiums cap. Peggy grabbed
the cap and at once there came a howl from
beneath the snow She had grabbed Billy
Belgium's hair with the cap and It was
he who had promptly howed a protest.
In minute Billys head and arms were
clear and then he. too, seized the ST. Ber-
nards collar and was drawn from the snow
where's Prince Bonnie Blue Bell?" gasped
Billy, first thing.
"Oh. he must be buried, too" exclaimed
Peggy, beginning to dig,
stop! Stop! Cover me up and leave me
here" whispered voice. Peggy, startled,
looked down, and saw a pair OF white lips
peeking out OF the snow. She didn't know
what the warning meant, but like good
soldier she instantly obeyed
Look over there" she cried. pointing to

snow bank short distance away.
That's right" whispered the voice, az
the st. Bernard and Billy began to dig ut
the place she indicated "If the Sleep Gnome
don't know am here. perhaps can rescue
you. Go away quickly"
Peggy thought fast. They were still In
danger. The Sleep Gnomes might be there
any minute.
ITS no good looking In all this snow"
she cried Let's go Billy Belgium lvoked
up in quick protest against this seeming de-
sertion Of Prince Bonnie Blue Bell. bu, Peggy
wInked at him. Instantly Billy understood
that she had some reason for giving up the
search.
Il guess you are right" he said. The
ST. Bernard quit digging and now pointed
with his paw to the flask fastened to his
collar.
He wants us to open the flask and take
a drink declared Billy. II wonder what's
in II" Billy quickly loosed the flask from
Its holder and unscrewed the top.
why, It's hot tea. Isn't that fine. I'm
chilled through and l know you are, too.
This will warm you up" He held out the
flask to Peggy who took II, wondering how
the tea could possibly have kept hot in the
chilly mountain wind. It smelled wonder
fully good and she raised the flask to her
lips.
Don't drink! Remember the Sleep Gnomesi
Twenty years." Thus came a muffied warm
ing from Prince Bonnie Blue Bell in the snow.
Peggy's brain worked nlmbly. This was
trap OF the Sleep Gnomes. The st. Bernard
was probably Gnome in disguise. He car
ried the tlasl; just to trick them into drinking
the potion that would put them to sleep for
twenty years, He thought he was fool'ng her.
Their only chance of escape lay In fooltng
him and the other Gnomes.
She pretended to drink. AS she tilted the
flask her eyes glanced up. Peeking over a
snow ridge was whole line of shadowy,
grinning faces, The Sleep Gnomes thought
they had her In their power
Peggy passed the flask to Billy. Under her
breath she whispered Don't drink! Just
pretend! Sleep Gnomes!"
Billy understood. He tilted the bottle UP,
but none of the tea ran down his throat. On
the contrary, it spilled on the ground. as the
St. Bernard suddenly changed into a grinning
Gnome and whole band Of Gnomes swept
eXultantly down upon them.

word of caution to see that the sentries
| round the house we're viglant, and followed
the man out leaving Monica and me alone.
The girl stopped the torrent of self
reproach that rose to my lips with a pretty
gesture. She pale, but she held her
head as high as ever.
