Keep the nurse until your little girl
is less dependent on her. To let her
go now would only make your child
bitter. II you spend more Of your own
time with the child and read to her,

Put her to bed yourself at night and

will grow much closer to each other
because you have the last hour at
night together.

THE DREADFUL NIGHT

Darkness settled over Shack 8. A
wintry drizzle made things desolate
outside. Sally went about among the
beds on her goodnight rounds, giving
her children extra pats and tuck
ings-in and whispering the cheeriest
words she could to Offset the bleak
ness The lights were dimmed and
the night nurse came on, taking her
place at the little table at the far
end, while Sally settled down in a
low chair by Stephens bed at the
other.
She drew her diary from her pocket
to make some neglected entries. She
reached the current date and wrote:

more was there to say? In a few
hours, perhaps, there would be moth
ing more to write about Stephen Tor

the long, slender figure from of the
bed and bear 1t to the gray stone hut
at the edge of the Enclosure, and
presently there would be another
mound and another white cross in

write more. The chapter of her love
was closed.
Sally sat motionless, her book on
her lap, feeling like a person in a
dream. II Stephen would only rouse
again II only some sound would
break the uncanny stiffness. 1t really
seemed as though death were already
there beside her. -"
She got up and put her fingers to

throbbing. but so family.

outside. splashing across the puddly
yard. They were coming nearer com.
ing to the door Of the shack. She
hoped it was DR.. Will, and turned her
eyes eagerly. But it was Roger Lam

Woman's Devotion to Home

Home duties to many women ap-
pear more important than health. No
matter how ill they feel, they drag
themselves through their daily tasks,
overdo and pay the penalty in head
aches, backaches, dragging-down pains
and nervousness; they become irrit-
able, and finally discover that some
form of female complaint has fastened
itself upon them. When a woman
gets into this condition there is one
tried and true remedy made from the
roots and herbs of the field, Lydia F..
Pinkham' S Vegetable Compound, which
for more than forty years has con-
tinued it's great work among women
in restoring health after many other
remedies have failed.-Adv.
