CONFESSIONS OF ABRIDE
Machine Walls Of Prison
Copyright. 1920. by the N. e. Al

Not much noise from the outside
world ever reached the secret prison
where l watched while my husband
slept. The room was almost in the
center Of the labyrinth of buildings
which made up the hacienda. But the
peculiar insistent "rat-tat- tat-tat" of
the machine guns was far-reaching.
1t penetrated the thick walls and
aroused in Bob some old memory OF
his days ineFrance.
Come on, boys he shouted as
he sprang to his feet.
Then he opened his eyes, saw me,
and explained:
Machine guns, Jane! l guess the
noise OF them will jerk an ex-soldier
out Of his grave! l thought was IL.

thank God! / wonder how many ban
dts he's got in his revolutionary
army this time"
Suddenly the wall and swish Of the
machine guns was doubled. Bob
whistled with excitement.
That means that the Mexicans hayS.
got into action at last. j guess Nor
rison gave this hacienda some sur
prise party" he said. Gosh! How
I wish l could get out of this hole!"

Best little job ever! You made it
possible for Morrison to shoot up this
nest. He had the plan in mind ever
since he left the cave, he told me. Hut
he couldn't find an excuse for making
an attack until Spence and Archer
were brought here. And then-he
wouldn't have dared to tackle The
proposition as long as the owner Of
the place had fort behind him."
Bob interrupted himself, at inter-
walls, to listen to the rise and fall OF
the fight which was going on SO near
and yet so far away from US. had
never seen him SO excited in my life,

The battle was for big stakes and he
was as helpless as a woman.
DO you realize, my dear, that we
are in the most interesting country
IN the world at the present moment?
And in the very heart of its intrigue?
And shut up-as useless as kittens"
he stormed.

tect!ve, a man of vast Importance,

He isl It's his business to keep
the peace between the United States
and Mexico. Some job, should say.
He can't let rash Americans like
Spence and Archer get themselves
killed. And it takes nerve and money
to masquerade his outfit as a band OF
half-breed outlaws. Say -. Jane

heavens and the earth"
"Oh, la La" murmured. What a
chance! What chance! Our very
lives, today, depend on the number Of
Morrison's hirelings-and my aban-
doned treasure"
Suddenly the weird spat-spat-spat
OF firearms ceased.
Bob was alert; grew more nerv-
Gus than ever. The silence was more
ominous than the noise of the fight.
Finally Bob spoke abruptly:
"The war has ended!V

keep an anxious tremulo out of my
voice.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND NURSE JAMES HAT.

How do you think look, Uncle
wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one morning as she skipped
out on the front stoop of the hollow
stump bungalow, where the rabbit
gentleman was taking a sun bath.
why you look as nice as you
always do" replied Mr.. Longears,
squirting at his muskrat lady house
keeper over the top of his glasses.
How do you like my new hat,
mean" went on Nurse Jane.
''Oh, I didn't notice that before!"
was the answer. "Whew! 1t is a
most splendiferous delightful one"
he went on, as he saw what Nurse
Jane had on her head. And what
a lot of flowers
Yes, just a few" said Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy. Mrs. Wibblewobble, the
duck lady, helped me trim it. And,
now that 1 am all dressed up for a
walk. why don't you ask me to take
one, Uncle Wiggily?' and the musk
rat lady turned around so Mr.. Long
ears could see her hat on all sides.
why, that's a fine idea!" he ex-
claimed. Wen go for a walk and
look for an adventure together. 1t
is a nice. bright, beautiful day
Come along. Nurse Jane"
So with her new hat the musk
rat lady went walking with Uncle
Wiggily.
They skipped over the fields and
through the woods, first fast. and
then real slow. And everywhere
that Nurse Jane went, her hat was
sure to go.
My! What a lovely bonnet you
have, Nurse Jane" said Mrs. Stub
tail, the lady bear. as she met Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy and Uncle Wiggily on
the Woodland path.
I'm glad you like it," said Nurse
Jane. Where have you BEEN. Mrs.
.stubtail? Have you been buying a
new hat. too"
"Oh, no, I've just been to the
store for some bread and butter and
honey" answered the lady bear. Il

circumstance. Don't give IL
thought!"
Jane hesitated. Caution bade her
let well enough alone, but Alison's
youth and inexperience were factors
upon which Jane confidently relied.
Il won't have my veracity quss-
toned" she persisted boldly. 'the
| next time / see Mrs. Gibson ! shall
ask her outright what she meant by
such a story"
Il wouldn't, IL I were you," coun-
selled Alison with madde ming COM
posure.
Kate Gibson is a mischief max
er," bluffed Jane. "it will be well
to call her to account"
My dear Miss Wsrdweil," pro-
tested Alison gently. "it is too late
! to do anything. Lawrence and I are
quite well aware that you put one
over on u.s. as Lawrence would say.
We have accepted 1t as gracefully
as possible and there is nothing
more to be said"
II a fluffy white kitten. wearing
wide innocent blue eyes and a huge
bow, had suddenly reached out and
delivered a scratch like a leopard,
Jane could not have been more
amazed. She looked at the young
| girl in hopeless establishment.
Then gathering together the tat
tered remnants of her dignity she
walked out of the room,
Alison sighed.
1t was not an auspicIous home
cominE-a set-to with her aunt-in-
| law the very first thing. But she
felt that she had set a precedent,
and perhaps the rest of the family
would take heed and not continue
| on the assumption that she was a
| perfect little fool who could be
! swayed this way and that to meet
the whims of her in-laws.
4, She decided to call up her mother
and find out how the land lay in
the Atherton home. On her way
to the extension phone which she
had noted in the upstairs hall as
Jane had brought her up she passed
an open door and heard someone
call her by name softly
She turned to find Fannie Ward
well in a kimono in the doorway.
Il heard you talking to Jane, but
I was shampooing my hair and I've
| only just got II dry enough to ap-
pear. Wont you come in and chat
with me while l take out the
snarls?"

warmly; Il never seem to have a
chance to talk to you when the
rest OF the family are around.

ply. stepping back and closing the
door as Alison entered. Ny room
is not very nice, but ii is cool" she
apologized.
Alison's quick glance about told
her that II was indeed not a luxu-
rious chamber. but 1t was redolent
of daintiness and cleanliness. The
appointments of the desk and
dresser were Immaculate. The fur
niture was old-fashioned and more
than a little worn, but the taste
fully fiowered cretonne and some
exquisite French prints created a
charming atmosphere. There was
shelf OF well-bound books and a
low Wedgewood bowl on a table
filled with June roses.
Il like your room better than
mine" Alison exclaimed impulsive-
ly. TT has so much more atmos-
phere."

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
Define Public Health.

Trippingly on the tongue comes
the phrase public health" but just
what do we mean? One Of the best
definitions was given recently be-
fore the American Association for
the Advancement of Science by DR..
c. A. Winslow. Part of his address,
which was printed in full in Modern
Medicine, follows:
Public heelth is the science and
art Of preventing disease, prolong-
ing life and promoting physical
health and efficiency through or
ganized community efforts for the
sanitation of the environment, the
control of community infections, the
education OF the individual in the
principles of personal hygiene, the
organization of medical and nursing
service for the early diagnosis and
preventive Treatment OF disease and
the development of the social ma
chinery which will insure to every
individual in the community a
standard of living adequate for the
maintenance of health.
I'm the development of the public
health campaign Of the future along
such lines as these, it is obvious tina (
many different specialists Of funda-
mentally distinct training must con-
tribute their special resources in the
common task. Ignoring all minor
specialtles, there must be at least
the following seven types of highly
qualified persons in this field: The
physician. the nurse, the bacteri-
ologist, the epidemiologist, the en-
glneer, the ststistician and the So
cial worker"
Finally, there is the admin
istrator. who organizes and develops
the work of all the rest"

Wiggily hoped out Of the store.
Excuse me, Nurse Jane" he said,
for the muskrat lady was still talk

It's going to rain. and he put some

window. l don't want your new

SO they said good-by and Uncle
Wiggily and Nurse Jane hoped on
But alas! They had not gone very
far before. all of a sudden, it be-
gan to sprinkle down rain drops.
"Oh. my lovely hat" cried Nurse
Jane. What shall l do?"

gested Uncle Wiggily. But the rain
drops came through the leaves.
"Oh, my nat will be all spoiled"
cried Nurse Jane, trying to hide IT
under her skirt. "Oh. II we only
