A LTHOUGH I'm not a medico I
"A know a lot Of things. such as
4 how heart-beats ought to go
and why a bee-sting stings. For in
my time I've fallen heir to many
tiresome ills; and I have suffered
grief and care from mumps and
hives and chilIs. And doctors old
and doctors young have sat aronud
my bed and looked full oft upon my
tongue with wisely shaking heads.
So can give much good advice on
divers deadly ills, and tell Of dopes
that are not nice and prate OF pale

Precious Human Hair.

A lock of Goethe's hair was once
valued at $4,000 by the st. Peters
burgh courts. Mahomet had the
habit OF stroking his beard as he
talked Those hairs which fell out
were seized upon by the deVout and
venerated as sacred relics. Thus in
1928 one Of these sainted hairs was
inclosed in a box OF gold and COW
cred with a crystal lid, and over II
was built a magnificent monument
to preserve the relic, at Cuddapah,
in the province Of Balaghat. Nor is
it only the disciples of great men
who have set value on the hair OF
their heroes. The heroes them
selves have realized the sentimental
if not the monetary value OF their
hair.

Could she ever be safe as long as
her only passion was the gratifica-

CHAPTER LXXIV.

I Tow would Mildred take the
news? What would be the
effect upon her Of the knowl-
edge OF Tom Chambers accident?
Such useless speculations haunted
Honora for the hour that elapsed
between the arrival Of the after
noon paper and her sisters return
from the office.
Mildred had said that she did not
care for Tom Chandler. Yet now
that he was injured-was, perhaps,
going to die-might she not fancy
that she cared for him? Too. often
romantic girls mistook pity for
love. Honora was very anxious.
SO IL was with astonish nent and
relief that she heard Milly's voice
cheerily calling her name as soon
as the girl entered the front door.
Here I am in the library"
Honora called back.
Mildred hurried in, her face
flushed with exercise or excitement.
Guess what's happened" she said.
Then, before Honora could reply
Harold Chilton's in Fairlands! In
valided homei"
"How-how-do you know?" Hon
ora stammered.
She was too much confused to
collect her wits. Perhaps Mildred
had not seen the afternoon paper.
II not, what a change might come
over her happy face when she heard
the truth!
What's the NATTER Mildred
asked, noting her sisters embsr-
rassed manner. "Oh. by the way,
how are you feeling?"
Much better" Honora replied.
Then, with an effort-"Milly--did
you see the paper-I mean-have
you heard
"Yes!" Mildred interrupted sharp
ly. SWhy under the sun do you
have to drag up a hateful subject
like that just as soon as I get into
the house? 1 should really think
that you might let me forget it if
can. And right here and now
want you to understand that I can
forget it, and mean to-"
A CaIIOus Attitude.
"But"-Honora began. Again
her sister interrupted brusquely:
II know all that you are going to

going to die, and all the rest of IL.
think Of it? And why should I let
IL affect me? The man is as good
as dead to me already-after the
way he behaved. II I had been
as big a fool as he thought me, l
might have gotten my name drag
ged into the whole disgusting mess.
As # is. ] am safely out Of it. And
am glad 1 am"
so am l." Honora managed to
say.
Her senses reeFed at Mildred's
attitude of mind. Even though she
thought she knew her sister, the
older girl had not until now ap-
preciated what a light facile ma
ture hers was. Sould she really
love anybody. or could she feel any
thing ntensely-anything except
the qualification of her vanity?
It was the same old question that
Honora has put to herself so often.
Now she realized that she must an
