When l suggested it to Everett he
offered no opposition to my plan, al
through he did not appear particular
ly pleased.
1T will bring back all that hap
pened while she was here before"
he reminded me. He had always re-
sented her running away to get mar
ried while visiting me. He never had
quite believed that her father did
not blame him in some way, or think
he might have prevented the mar
riage, although Rose had told them
Everett didn't even know she was ac-
quainted with Walter.
But we needn't have worried.
When / wrote Rose asking her to
make me visit, she replied refusing,
and giving as one reason Just what
Everett had suggested: that it would
bring Walters courtship back too
vividly.
''I don't feel that l could bear it
not just yet. Then too, l am not
good company for anyone these days,
Sandra. Perhaps after l have been
with father and mother longer I shall
grow more cheerful, but at present
everything looks dark to me. What
I should do without them, God only
knows. So excuse me for a time,
and thank you for the invitation. 1t
is good of you to want me after the
way I abused your hospitality"
81 thought she would feel that
way" was Everett's only remark
when read him that portion of her
letter.
"Poor Rose. She was such gay,
fun-loving girl. She was the livliest
of US ALL"

ROSE AGAIN.
CHAPTER CXXVI.

s Rose had gone home at last. Gone
to stay-so she said She had not
yet asked for divorce. l, for one
felt she never would. There is some
thing in small town bringing-up
that still made divorce seem a sort
of disgraceful thing, although in
cities it was scarcely a nine days
wonder. Then too, Rose loved Wal
ter Kemp badly as he had treated
her. And when a woman loves a
man she clings to any hold she may
have upon him as long as she can.
"Her heart is near the breaking
point" Mother wrote. "She seems
to have lost all interest in everything.
Her father wants Rose and her moth
er to travel He cannot leave his
business, however, and Mrs. Gran
don hates to leave him. | think Rose
feels chagrined and embarrassed be-
cause of her old friends. There is
no need; there is nothing but sym
pathy for her in their young hearts.
l think it will be lesson to some of
them. A girls parents are her best
friends. If Rose had consulted hers,
her father would have looked up Mr.
Kemp's record, and from what Mrs.
Grams on tells me of him, I am sure
Rose would not have married him.
Now she is shamed and Inundated"
There was much more in Mothers
letter, but that was all about Rose.
l sat right down and wrote her a
long letter. By and by l would ask
Everett to let me have her for short
visit. 1t would do her good, perhaps
And ! was so SORRY for her.

which she gave me deprecating
glance and moved on. Everett bur
ried himself in his paper, so did not
notice my silence.
He kissed me when he left, prom
ising to be home early, then went
out whistling gayly, What did ne
care if / had been hurt by his at
tention to Miss Pierce in the. house
where was mistress? He was as
bad-almost-as Walter Kemp, /
said in my thoughts. And all day

PUT HYPNoTIsM TO GOOD USE
Australian Physician Announces That
He Has Cured War Stammering
by Its Employment.

Writing in the Medical Journal of
Australia, DIR. Clarence G. Godfrey
states that during the past two years
number Of cases have been referred
to him for treatment by hypnotic sug-
gestion, in which stammering or slut
tering had developed, or had been
revived, after years of disappearance
as the result of shell shock or
of various war stresses. Sometimes
hpynotiZed patient has been told to
keep on repeating some well-known
nursery rhyme and not to cease at the
signal to awake, although in the mid
die Of the rhyme, but to keep on talk
ing. He will usually manifest his
astonishment at finding himself talk
Ing without difficulty. Sometimes
patient will converse on waking with
out realizing that his stammering has
disappeared until his attention is
drawn to 1t with amusing effect. In
one case the patient spoke perfectly
in sleep at the first attempt to hyp-
notize him, although he had had a
very bad stutter for eight months past,
being almost inartlculate. He woke
in a few minutes apparently cured
and has been free from stutter ever
since.
1t has been noticed that every case
treated, even the worst has been able
to speak far better in the hypnotic
state than out Of it.

LIttIe-Known Hero.

OF the many stories of heroism dur,
ing the war on which official records
are silent but which are being brought
forth with relaxation of the censor
ship is that Of Captain Larcombe of
the antlaircraft defenses of the Lon.
don (Eng) district. His job for four
years has been to find and dispose OF
German aerial bombs that failed to
explode when dropped on London.
After each air raid, and in the early
part of the war there were many, Lar
combe and his men would 60 about the
city seeking the "duds.' 1t was dan
gerous work extricating them from
wherever they happened to drop, trans
porting them out of the city and ex-
ploding or otherwise destroying them
During the excitement after a raid few
people thought of the bombs that
failed to "go off" but all of them have
ceased to be a menace to the city.

MARGUERITE CLARK

| have never been in love in my
life. 1t seems such an enormous
waste of time" said Marguerite
Clark the popular Paramount star,
to the New York correspondent of
a western paper late in the spring
of 1918. Ninety days after the
date of that interview that solemn
declaration was shown to be only
a scrap of paper by the act of the
party who made it; for she walked
up to the altar as Marguerite Clark
and walked away from it as Mrs. II.
Palmerson Williams. Her husband
is a lieutenant attached to the ord
nance department and stationed at
Washington.
Whatever Mrs. Williams may
think about it, the millions of mo-
tion picture patrons in America
positively refuse to recognize her
marriage. She is still, and ever
shall be, Marguerite sClark, best be-
loved of all screen SEARS by the little
folk and their elders. This enviable
position was not bestowed upon
Marguerite Clark by kindly dis
posed fairy while she waited but it
was earned by good hard work and

story is based upon the novel of
"The Golden Bird" writer by Maria

There is an excellent love story and

1t must be the censor's Office boy
who Is responsible for some of the va
garics of the blue pencil. Not long ago
some patriotic soul quoted Kipling's
line from the "Recessional," THE cap
tains and the kings depart" He had
the surprise of his life when the word
"kings" was struck out But worse
is now reported. Another scribe,
greatly daring in the meatless days,
~quoted Thomas Hoods joke in an ar
ticle on "Wayside Graves" or some
thing equally solemn:

That was too much for the censor's
office boy. A stake in his inside, in

he knew how to spell that the food

IN SHEER CRUELTY
Boches Operated on Prisoners
Without AnestheticS.
Ample Proof That There Was No
Shortage of Medical Supplies Is
Evidence OF Fiendishness
of Hun Surgeons.

A British prisoner taken near st.
Quentin in March said that all amputa-
tions in Germany were being done
without anesthetics, owing to alleged
shortages Of them. A correspondent
writes:
ION the day that the prince of Wales
entered Denain and attended the serv-
Ice of thanksgiving in the church there
l fingered behind after all the cere-
monies were over and talked with the
inhabitants. They had been badly
treated. They were full of the stories
of their legitimate woes. One old man
said to me-
Mseu should see the English doe
tor. He knows!
II saw him. He was a major in
charge Of asCanadan field ambulance.
When | found him, in the huge build
ing which he had transformed into a
hospital, he was busy experimenting
the treatment of women and pitiful lit
tie children who had been gassed by
the Boches in defiance of all the laws
of humanity. There was one little fel-
low bowling with terror. He did not
wish to remain with the military. He
had only known the German soldierl
We'll, then take him away, poor
little chap said the major. Bring him
back three times day to be dressed,
"Then the major and l talked of the
successful Canadian attack and of the
condition of the town when it had been
taken. 1t was not a pretty story. 1t
was, in fact, terrible indictment
against the Boche.
"'They starved the civilians. The
only meat they gave them in three
years was three dead mules. And all
the time their own officers were living
on the best
"'Then there was shortage?'
"'Oh, yes, there was shortage; but
the German officers did not feel it,
land their other supplies? Your
line. for instance-medical suppliesY
"The major laughed.
" Come with me- he said, and I'll
show you a field medical cart that we
captured just as they were driving it
off. 1t is one of the most wonderful
things have ever seem
"Ne went into the transport yard
and here we found something like
Scotch cart with cosed-in top, bear
ing the Red Cross on its sides. The
major let down the back flap and we
saw a series of drawers, like an en-
larged card-lndex file cabinet. He
pulled one out.
Look ut that he said. There you
have most of the drugs we have been
short of for months-and have them
in profusion. Morphia, chloroform-
anything you like. 1t is the most per-
feet thing Of its kind have ever seen.
You could sell that carts cargo in Eng
land for its weight in gold. 1t con-
tains some of the most valuable and
rarest synthetic drugs in the world. 1t
is treasure trove. Like a souve-
mir? Here, then-hcre's case of a
dozen phals of morphine-or chloro-
form-or antipyrn.'
THAT was in field medical cart
If such a supply of rare drugs could
be sent up practically to the front
line, what must the German have had
in his rear hospitals? What, then, can
be his excuse for amputatfng the limbs
of our wounded prisoners without
anesthetcs? Can it have been any
thing bat wanton cruelty?
