That the Lorimers should harbor a
/ rather forlorn little working girl IN
their luxurious best bedroom was I'M
reasonable. l tried to make TINS
clear to Mother who has a fashion OF
neglecting her servants opinions
! about what she does.
At the back of the masters section
of the mansion was a simple dainty
room, the one once used by Eloise.
1t was accessible by a side stairs as
| well as by the great main hall. ! told
| Mother that l wanted it for my room
because 1t was a long way from Bob's
! apartments and / wouldn't have to
meet him unless / wished to do so.
This argument won my case. once
more / found myself established un-
der the roof to which my husband
had brought me just before he went
to the war.
AS I settled my head on my pillow
1 realized thai / was n of h few
women who actually knew from a
similar experience what getting
home means to the soldier from
overseas.
The next day Boy came home.
1t was part of our plan that he
should see me at once. And since no
excuse could possibly be found for
| introducing a messenger girl into
Mothers morning rooms 1T had been
| arranged hat Daddy should summon
Bob to his office, next the porte
cochere.
And there, at the time appointed.
I appeared in my borrowed uniform,
carrying my yellow envelope.
Bob was reading the morning pa
per. At sight of me. down it went
and up to his feet came my husband,
not at all as he would meet an ordi-
nary messenger girl. but with exactly
! the same courtesy he would pay his
mother-or his wife!
/ gave him a hasty glance-and
turned away quickly to conceal my
surprise. Bob had changed-and not
for the betteri He had slumped,
physically! / wanted to upbraid
Daddy, who in the kindness of his
heart had told me that Bob was
J looking well. He was not-and I'M
less L could arrest his mental sick
ness soon, he might better have died

him over in the trenches.

held out my envelope to Daddy; but
1 had to speak twice to attract his
attention. He was studying my hus-
band.
Bob stood like one h~ypnotized. His
eyes never left my face. He had but
one idea-it absorbed him-obsessec

SLEEPTIME STORY HE HEARD IN HIS FATHERS TEPEE
WHEN THE KIOWAS ROAMED THE WEST
BY CHIEF TAHAN
OF THE KIOWA INDIAN TRIBE

When I was a boy our mothers and
grandfathers used TO tell us Indian
children what they believed about
thunder storms and how they were
made.
Many times / have listened to the
story when at night a bright fire al
blazing in the middle of the floor OF
the teepee.
/ will now tell you children the
story. 50 that you will know how In
dams used to think about ii.
Well, there is a great bird which
looks like an eagle, and he carries a
lake of water on his back.
His name is Thunderbird.
And there is a great big long Rattle
snake.
He is about as long as from the
place where the sun comes up to the
place in the sky over head when your
, shadow is the shortest.
Thunderbird does not like Rattle
snake, and he is always trying to find
him; for he wants to kill him and eat
him.
SO, T~huhderbird is always flying
around in the sky looking for Rattle
snake. But Rattlesnake he always
Keeps his eyes wide open so that he
can see him when he comes.
Even when he sleeps Rattlesnake
keeps his eyes wide open. That is the
reason that snakes never shut their
eyes.
Well, just as soon as Thunderbird
catches sight of Rattlesnake, he flies
right at him as swift as ever he can,
He tries his best to get close up and
stick his big sharp claws into him be-
fore he knows it, and has time to
coil up. For a snake car never bite
very well until he makes his body
like n pile of hoops.
SO. Rattlesnake always sees Thund-
erbird coming, and he gets ready for
him.
When Thunderbird gets close
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-06-18

enough. he just draws back his head,
and as he strikes at him he opens his
month and tries to stab Thunderbird
with his long hooked teeth which are
covered with poison.
But Thunderbird he lodges away
n comes back at him again. Some
times the fight is awful.
Thunderbird he grabs, and grabs at
Rattlesnake with his long sharp
claws, and he pecks, and pecks al
him with his big beak.
But Rattlesnake he lodges his head,
and he twists around, n runs and
coils up and rattles his rattles on the
end of his tail, and he strikes back,
and strikes back. And Thunderbird,
he lodges his head, and lodges
around till the sky gets black with his
shadow; and he make an awful rose
with his wings, he flaps them so fast.
That is how he makes the thunder.
Thunderbird gets so mao at Rattle
snake that he opens and shuts his ayes
so fast that fire blazes out of them.
That is how he makes the lightning.
But Rattlesnake he doesn't hide his
head at all from the fierce fire that
blazes out, nor from the big noise. He
doesn't get frightened. He keeps right
on fighting harder thar ever.
After a while both of them get
terribly tired. and they breathe hard:
n Thunderbird's wings send their
breath clear down to the earth. and
il blows things away. That is how
he makes the. storm-wind.
BY and by. Thunderbird gets so tired
that he almost falls out of the SIX,
and he tips over and spills some wate-
out of the lake on his back. That is
where the rain comes from. After
awhile T~hunderbird can't make his
wings go. and he quites fighting. So,
the storm stops.
In the next story the chief will tell
| you what makes the storm stop.

With the threat to sue her druggist be-
cause be sold her a substitute for genuine
Nuxated Iron, the tonic, strength and blood
builder, one woman has set in motion a
wave of indignation over the country against
a practice which offers such countless dam
gers to the health and welfare of the public.
This woman claims that instead of obtaining
increased strength and improved health as
she had with the true Nuxated Iron, she
was seriously upset and in fact became i'll
as a result of using the substitute. Such
instances as these have led physicians men
toned below to emphasize that health Off
Gals and doctors everywhere should eau
ton the public against accepting substitutes
