young woman, who somehow sent
strange thrills coursing through ones
veins when she felt ones pulse, and
for lack of a stethoscope she had to
lay her golden-crowned little head
against his heart for full three min
utes at time TO find out the state
of that organ. But, anyway, there
were advantages in this new embar-
rassment. At least she was taking
him seriously-even though she re-
ceiyed a fee for doing So-and that
was more than any woman had done
since the encampment was established
near Marden. She told him that he
surely did need treatment, but that
she would have to think the matter
over before she could prescribe.
Meantime Paul went home encour-
aged and Doctor Kate cultivated the
acquaintance of Paul's sister and
mother. She had suspected something
and she found it to be true. Then she
laid out a plan for cure and pro-
ceeded to apply 1t. But the cure did
not come in any pill boxes or medicine
bottles. The first dose was an invi-
tatiOn to dinner at her house, on the
preteXt of meeting her mother. And
Doctor Kate watched with satiSfac-
ton that was not all professional as
he accepted his fifth muffin-they were
made with as much wheat as the Hoo
yer regulation allowed-and watched
him eat the dessert to make which she
and her mother had fOregone sugar
for two days. Doctor Kate had Won
derful way of finding things out, for
Paul himself never told her about his
socks. But before many weeks had
passed he was actually bringing his
socks stealthily to Doctor Hates
mother, who assured him she had
perfect passion for darning, and since
her own boy had gone to the front she
had had none to do.
Then Kate prescribed some sort of
electrical treatment for her patient
that had to be administered every
morning in her office before breakfast,
and she also assured him that the good
effects of the treatment would be off
set If he went out afterward without
eating. Having breakfast with Doc
tor Kate and her mother therefore be-
came part of the treatment
And Paul recovered rapidly. He re-
gained the lost pounds, and presently
his case was spoken of as a feather
in the cap of Doctor Kate Pratt. Cos
sip had it that he was in an actual
decline when she took him in hand.
No one knew just what the treatment
had been, but it had required many,
many visits, and the fee that was
handed over to the Red Cross as
result was enough to buy all the yarn
that Marden women could knit up in
a year.
And the funny thing was that when
Paul sued for Doctor Hates heart
and hand and gained them both Mar
den women folk were a little peeved,
even to Paul's own mother and sister.
Its always that way with eligible
men," was the comment. 1.-THE girls
in the home town can pet them and
pamper them for years, but the first
nice girl from out of town is the one
they marry"
For Marden failed to see how pitt
fully susceptible Paul Dedham had be-
come as result of the neglect he had
suffered.

Minister MizunO explained that the

was made advisable by the fact that
the rice riot situation is improving
throughout the empire. He declared
that the government now has the stu
alton under full control.
The press, however, claims that the
action by the interior department is
victory for the newspapers, as the

other retreat north to the Aisne from
the Nesle Is expected, thus restoring
the l.aon Cambria, Lille front as It
stood during the winter.
Ehictency Lost
Reports from British Headquarters
says that the Germans have apparent
ly lost the greater part of their fight
ing efficiency and many are tamely
surrendcring, apparently glad to be
out of hopeless cause.
The German press is now attempting
to reassure the German public that a
general retreat on the western front
is necessary only to allow Won Luden

to assume the initiative on vast
scale, according to II Havas Agency
report.
German Claims
German official reports, sent out last
night by wireless, state that the
French thruSts along a wide front be
tween the Aisne and the Ose failed
with heavy casualties to the attackers,
while British and French attacks west
of Chaulnes and north of Roye were
unsuccessful.
A penetration Of the German line
west of Beauvraignes is admitted, but

Allied efforts north of I.assieny have
been beaten off, while the Germa ,
