Billy Louise ran into her own room,

at them on the way to her mothers

dig holes with a teaspoon, I'm that
weak and useless. Did he say what it
was, Billy Louise?" The sick are al
ways so curious about their illnesses.

Billy Louise did not hold c~hangeless

broken into fragments before the evil

things he had told her himself. So she
thought there was no more faith IN
him. and her heart went empty and
aching through the next few days.

awhile, gathered carefully the dust of

Billy Louise went sortIy into the
house, tiptoed to the door Of her moth
er's room and saw that she lay quiet,
with her eyes closed. Beside the win
dow the doctor sat with his sp~ectacles
far down toward the end Of his nose,
reading a pale green pamphlet that he
must have brought in his pocket. Phoe-
be was down by the creek washing
clothes In the shade of a willow clump.
She went into her W room, still
walking on her toes. In her trunk was
a blue plush box of the kind that is
given to one at Christmas. 1t was fad
ed and the clasp was showing brassy
at the edges. Sitting upon her bed with
the box in her lap Billy Louise paved
hastily in the tumble of keepsakes it
held; an eagles claw which she meant
some time to have mounted for a
brooch; three or -four arrowheads Of
the shiny, black stuff which the Indians
were said to have brought from yell
1owstone park; a knot Of green ribbon
which she had worn to a st. Patrick's
day dance in Boise rattlesnake rattles
of all sizes; several folded clippings
verses that had caught her fancy and
had been put away and forgotten; an
amber bead she had found one She
turned the box upside down in her lap
and shook it. 1t must be there-the
thing she sought, the thing that had
troubled her most in her dream; the
thing that was a menac while it ex-
listed. 1t was at the very bottom of
the box, caught in a corner. She took
it out with fingers that trembled, crum-
pied it into a little ball so that she
could not read what it said, straight.

l~uctantly from the beginning to the end

frayed from contact with other objects,
telling of things
Billy Louise bit her lips until they
hurt, but she could not keep back the
tears that came hot and singing while
she read. She slid the little heap of
odds and ends to the middle of the bed,
crushed the clipping into her palm and
went out stealthily into the immaculate
kitchen. AS if she were being spied
upon she went cautiously to the stove,
lifted a lid and dropped the clipping in
where the wood blazed the brightest.
She watched it fare and become notn-
ing-not wen a pinch OF ashes; the
clipping was not very large. When 1t
was gone she put the lid back and
went tiptoeing to the door. Then she
ran.
Phoebe was down by the creek, so
Billy Louise went to the stable,
through that and OF beyond, still run
ming. Farther down was a grassy
nook-on beyond the road. She went
there and hid behind the willows,
where she could cry and no one be the
wiser. But she could not cry the ache
out Of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. II she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
pingl She could still believe and be
happy If only she could forget the
things it said.
Phoebe called her after a long while
had passed. Billy Louise bathed hel
face in the cold water of the Wolverine
used her handkerchief for a towel anC
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy h'
drove, and the doctor was standing il
the doorway with his square medicine
case in his hand waiting to give her
few final directions before he left.
He was like so many doctors-hI
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck t.

offered him a bed, which he declined. :,
When the suspense became madden
Ing after that he would ride down to
the Wolverine for news. And the news
was m~onotonously scant. Phoebe could
read and write after a fashion, and
Billy Louise sent her a letter now and
then, saying that mommie was about
the same and that she wanted John
to do certain things about the ranch.
She could not leave mommie, she said.
Ward gathered that she would not.
Once when he was at the ranch he
wrote a letter to Billy Louise and told
her that he would come to Boise If
there was anything he could do and
begged her to let him know IL she
needed any money. Beyond that he
worked and worked and tried to crowd
the lonesomeness out OF his days and
the hunger from his dreams with com-
plete bone WEAKNESS. He did not ex-
pect an answer to his letter-at least
he told himself that he did not-but
n day Phoebe gave him a thin little
letter.
Billy Louise did not write much.
She explained that she could only
scribble a line or two while mommie
slept. Mommie was about the same.
She did not think there was anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for offering to help. There was moth
ing, she said pathetically, that anybody
could do. Even the doctors did not
seem able to do much except tell her
lies and charge her for them. No; she
did not need any money. THANK you
just the same, Ward" That was about
all. It did not sound in the least like
Billy Louise.
Ward answered the note then and
there and called her Wilhemina-mine
which was an awkward name to write
and cost him FIVE minutes of cogitatior
over the spelling. But he wanted il

less Wreck.

An unusual accident and still more
unusual rescue occurred recently, says
the March Popular Mechanics maya
zine. when a British seaplane. emery
ing from a dense mist, crashed against
the top of a slender radio tower. The
impact was so great that the mast
was bent far out of line. the aerial en-
CINE wedged between the interstices
so that the plane was suspended al
most al a right angle. and the pilot
catapulted onto one of the wings
where he lay unconscious. A strong
wind added terror to the situation.
Fortunately, three sailors were at the
time painting the steelwork some dis
lance below. and one of them climbed
I'D the inside of the tower to the point,
nearly 300 feet above the ground,
where the craft was fast. Crawling
out on the wing, he reached the sense
less airman and prevented him from
falling until his two comrades were
able to pass him a rope. Tying this
about the pilots body. he lowered him
to the ground.

DELEGATES
LAY EXTENSIVE PLANS.

Final plans for raising S35 100000
next spring throughout the Southern
Methodism to support foreign mission
work for five years and to provide
for the centenary celebration here
outlined Thursday night at the clos
ing conference of 1925 delegates as
sembled here from all over the south.
The concluding session was held
after the banquet at the Hotel Chisca
at o'clock. Most of the delegates
returned home last night.
The campaign will be conducted for
eight days beginning April % and
closing May 4. During this time the
selective service principle will be APP
piled to the forces of the Southern
to make the undertaking a
success. Methodists who took part
in the Liberty Loan drives and the
campaigns for the Red Cross and War
Work activities will be drafted" into
service to urge liberal subscriptions
to the fund.
The campaign leaders state that
they hope to enlist 900 tithers.
The Sunday Schools have been assess
ed S3,50O.000 for missions alone.
One-half million of this amount has

Cues. Why are the American sol

boys Ans. In days of Civil war
U. S. Infantrymen were nicknamed
"doughboys" because they had on
their uniforms large globular brass
buttons which suggested the boiled
dumplings served to sailors and
know by them as "doughboys." This
name has stuck to the infantrymen to
this day and 1t is sometimes applied
without distinction to men in other
branches of military service
