DOLLIE'S CURE

terror Of her hysterical outbursts. Not
that Celia Cameron is noisy In her at

weeping wears more I think upon ones

his unreasoning devotion, and Douglas
was forced to continue the slavery.
Pardon me, my dear, much as l love
Celia Cameron, slavery Is the word
which expresses her exactions. And
when 1t became evident that Douglas
was paying attention to yourself, my
conscience chided me for being the
means of bringing you together. 1t is
honest of him to ask you to spend a
few weeks at his home in his mothers
! fretful society before urging you to be-
come engaged to him. He certainly
wants you to know what you are about.

Of her experience as nurse there I
can foresee that your visit will be de-
cidedly short. You have neither HUI

Dollie clasped her arms about her

eyes which had caused her family to
bestow upon her the name Of Dolly
came an i%nscrutlble light.
"Yet, I am going to marry Douglas"
she said, 'and I'm going to make that
visit"
Douglas himself looked apprehensive

his fine old home.

Natural Enemles Of Mosquito.

United States bureau Of entomology,
writing on his favorite theme. the

first the common goldfish and silver
fish, which destroy mosquito larvae
and should be put In artificial ponds.
Top-minnows are great feeders on
mosquito larvae, and certain species
introduced from Texas and Hawaii
have proved their value, while a small
top-minnow Of the genus Girardinus,
known In Barbados as millions" has
been used successfully In other West
Indian islands. Many predatory aquat-
ic insects feed on mosquito larvae. Ger

bats also eat them. Many plants are

HIS DISCOVERY
BY JACK LAYTON.

Torrents of rain caught Brant In his
car at the lonellest point Of the road.
He had hoped to reach his hotel before
the clouds burst. Now, he decided to
abandon the rain-soaked runabout and
seek shelter In the old vacated house
glImpsed through surrounding trees.
He made a dash for 1t and was re-
warded by dry space on the veranda.
Through a French window he could
see a low ceilinged room. he put his
hand to the window sash and 1t
slipped upward at his touch.
Ensconced In the reclining chair,
he lit a cigar, drew a newspaper from
bis pocket, and proceeded to make
the best of the situation. The storm
not relenting in force, the busy man
of affairs lay and dreamed as he was
not permitted to dream in the life
which hurried. And the dream car
ried him back to boyhood days to a
low-ceilinged room with freight flick
ering against its panels, a room peo-
pied with those who were gone.
He remembered, too, a youthful
dream. of a woman to be, who should
fill his mothers place and make for
him the sort Of home his father knew.
Hotel apartments satisfied his home
need, or he had thought the want sat
is1ed, until stor1l clouds had driven
him to this haven, and the enforced In
action In the silent Dom brought back
to him strangely his memories.
He decided to remain longer. Time
could not make the situation worse. 1t
might make 1t better. So he folded his;
paper and lighted a second cigar,
musing over a brief article he had read
concerning a set of desperate poachers
who were supposed to be located some
where In this vicinity. Their secret
place Of residence wes said to be
stacked with stolen spells. Sheriff and
troopers had been unsuccessful In
their capture. and the amazing thing
about 1t all was the fact that their
accommodating scout was a woman.
An innocent appearing girl, the article
said. ''entirely allaying suspicion"
Brant thought he would like to meet
I'LL BAi hC NhVo6hh 49,
enjoy a part In bringing the creature
to justice. And as he reflected, a
seeming panel in the wall slipped back
before his eyes and In the reflected
light from a further Vol he saw a
girl framed in the opening.
The first thing that he noticed about
the girl was that she deliberately
aimed a revolver in his direction. and
the second thing was her rare beauty.
The startling part Of the adventure to
him was the fact that the girl was re-
markably like the woman Of his
dreams, like the ideal woman In his
picture Of home. The woman pointed
a revolver now at his heart.
