hundred terrible visions flashed
through her brain. and the most
terrible OF all was one picturing
Leon minus his right srm-minus
the wonderful fingers that drew the
bow across the strings OF the
Stradivarius.
The same thought had made It's
impression on Mamma Kantor; the
two women looking at each other
read II out In the expression OF
their eyes.
The older spoke first: you don't
think lists his ARM"
Gina tried to Teassure-youth
owed that much to age. Let's hope
not-let's hope not"
But IL was only hope. The girl
was powerless: nevertheless she
asked: Isn't there some way l
can help? What will they do with
him when he lands. he'll have to
go to a hospital, won't he?"
"lt depends how bad he's hurt"
answered Mrs Kantor. and then
forgetting that she was supposed
to know nothing OF the feeling of
her son for this girl she cried out

Gina, what are--we are going to
do?" and burst into tears.
Gina Berg did her best to com.
fort her. II she had been her own
mother she could not have done
more. and when at last Mamma
Kantor had regained her composure
the girl looked at her with eyes
that spoke volumes.
you love him; he's your own
flesh and blood, but you're not
sorry-he's done what every man
ought to do: he's tried 10 repay the
debt he owes this countryside debt
we all owe her-you wouldn't love
him so much II he'd stayed at home
and done nothing"
Mrs. Kantor shook her head-the
anticipation OF seeing Leon wound
ed swept out of her mind all other
considerations.
A Useful Admonition.
Suppose" she faltered. "he's
never able to play again"
I'VE must hope for the best"
Gina repeated. and laid hand on
the older woman's arm. and / won

that will make him grieve all the

know how you feel about Leon"
She was gone, leaving the mother
wondering-Gina was in love with
Leon. She had as good as said so
and perhaps he was not hurt so
much after all She said mot HING IN

Gina had said, and she smiled when
Icy began dismal forebodings. d.,
.'Don't talk like that. Izzy, you

Abrahm cast a balefui glance on
his married son: 1--WE should be

marked, repeating the words Gina
had uttered to Mrs. Kantor. What

About Babies

be taken in washing.
does not close when an object is
brought near II. Though the eyes
may sometimes be noticed to follow
a moving object. there Is no definite
recognition until the sixth month.
There are no tears during the first
two months of life.
Hearing is not developed for
twenty-four hours after birth, and
in some cases not for several days.
1t Is very acute for the first few
months, the child startling at
sounds. At two or three months
the infant turns toward sounds. and
within another month recognizes
the voice.
Tho sense Of touch is acute at
birth in the lips and tongue. but
does not become general until after
the third month.
At the fourth month voluntary
movements occur, especially at
tempts at grasping, and the head
can be held erect.
The infant can sit up at the
seventh month. may stand by the
ninth. and will usually commence
to walk when a year old, going
without support about the fifteenth
month.
The heart weighs about an ounce
at birth, increasing half an ounce
each year up to the age OF twelve.
when II weighs about seven ounces.
Young infants cannot sweat.
which is what makes them 40 liable
to fever under the influence of
summer heat or slight internal dis
turbances.
Speech begins at the end OF the
nrst year, girls making better prog
ress than boys in this respect, rs
a rule.
The TEEN begin to appear at the
sixth month or little later.
While the mouth is kept moist
by mucus up to the sixth month,
starchy foods cannot be digested,
since there is no eallva. The APP
.pearance of the teeth Is coincidcnt
with the establishment OF salvation
and the ability to digest starch.
