CHAPTER Ill,

Jed certainly was the most signifi-
cant disagreeable fact in the house,
and his influence the most significant
malignancy. He had been sobered by
the discovery of his attack upon Mrs.
Sidney, but as he began to recover
from his discontinue, and as the sense
Of caution began to lessen. he again
asserted, or suggested, control, par
ticularly when he was drunk. He never
allowed Mr.. Sidney to know this. In
their strange association at Horatian
wine feasts, Jed was tactful, respect
full, considerate and jovial.
To Mrs. Sidney he was at time cour-
teous and thoughtful, at other times
disrespectful or even brutal. Some
times he seemed to frighten himself.
When I saw that he was again begin
ming to show disrespect for her, I was
for putting an end to it. Mrs. Sidney
was Mortified when 1 said that Jed
could be brought to terms. She held
up her hands.

event! Never, please, speak to Mr.
Sidney. Please never think of 1t. JED
is invaluable to Mr.. Sidney. He is not
so discourteous to me as you might
think. He is gruff, and drinking does
not make him better, but it is Mr.. Sid

would be unjust-don't you see il
would be unjust?-to make poin

Worlds Highest Village.

The little village of Karzok in Kash-
mir is said by writer in L'Astronomie
to be the highest in the world. Its
altitude is 14,946 feet. The buildings
consist of a few wretched stone houses
and a small Buddhist monastery.
Kashmtr is the most northerly state of
India and lies wholly in the Himalaya
mountains. Not far from its eastern
border is Mt. Everest, the loftiest peak,
so far as known, in the world

FAMOUS eARooYLEs.

Gargoyle is a name given to a pro-
jecting spout, so placed that 1t drains
ths roof gutter. The modern metal
pipes have superseded the use Of gar
goyles to a great extent. In gothic
architecture these long and grotesque-
ly-carved spots have heads of men,
beasts or birds In preposterous COM
bination with bodies, paws and wings
of monsters. The gnrgoyles of the
cathedral Of Notre Dame are particu-
iarly famous.

important particulars from that SET

Grodno and other territory now given
to Lithuania by the bolsheviks.
With the Poles in control the Ger

The territory gained by Lithuania
under the new treaty, 1t was said at
the legation, represents all that it
sought on racial grounds. Natural
boundary lines are effected by putting
the line along the rivers. Only about
twenty miles of boundary on the Po-
lish frontier remain to be settled, IT
was said, before all the limits of

Geneva. 1t may be
awarded to only one nurse of a ma
tion each year. Thus these six women
represent Americas high roll of nurs-
ing since the outbreak of the Great
War In 1914. The Florence NIghtin-
gale medal was established in 1912.
1T cnn be awarded "only to trained
nurses who may have especially dis
tinguished themselves by great and
exceptional devotion to the sick and
wounded in peace or war"
The Florence Nightingale medal is
well named. Florence Nightingale
l(1S20-1010) was the pioneer of trained
army nursing. She was an English
woman, born in Florence. She became
interested In nursing early and went
through courses of training in France
and Germany. She then made a study
of hospital methods in Europe. She
became the friend of the ragged
schools and other similar institutions
of London.
Opportunity knocked at her door in
the Crimean war. In 1854 reports Of
the awful conditions surrounding the
wounded and sick reached London
and she sailed for Scutari with a staff
of 3S volunteer nurses. There she
toiled until the British troops left the
town In 1856. Her nightly round of
the wards won for her from the sol
diers the title Of LADY With the
Lamp" She not only nursed the sick
and wounded but started educational
classes and organized reading.
Fame rewarded her. Her country
made her a gift Of $25O,000. With
this she founded n training home for
nurses. Soon she became a general
adviser of the civilized world In mat
ters of nursing and sanitary reform.
Her example and influence brought
about the organization Of the Red
Cross society. She wrote "Notes on
Hospitals" (1s59) and "Notes on
Nursing" (1s6O).
SO the name Of Florence Nightin-
gale calls up a brave picture Of wo-
manly devotion, made more valuable
by trained skill. The records of the
SIX American women honored with the
Florence Nightingale medal show that
they are worthy recipients Of this
highly-prized decoration. The six
nurses are:
Helen Scott Hay, Washington, d. G
Florence Merriam Johnson, New
York City.
Martha NJ. Russell, Boulder, Colo.
Alma Z. Forester, Chicago, III.
Linda K. Meirs, Boston, Mass.
Mary e. Gladwin, New York City.
All SIX Of these nurses saw service
abroad. Following is a condensed
record of their training and services:
