81 should say I am! Just as proud
of being a wicked fairy as you are
of having that Box of Charms and
your Magic Green Shoes"
The twins looked alarmed. What
would happen if the Jim took them
all away again?
The eagle FASTENED to reassure
them. ooh, l won't take your precious

The eagle flew away with great
Tapping of wings. The twins were

out. They seemed quite near up there
on the mountain top, and the chill

Special Despatch to The New York Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14-"Oh,, | almost for
got! Today is St. Valentines Day. | must
send my teacher and my school friends
valentines"
These were the first words uttered by
eight-year-old Miriam Rubin, the talking
girl of Waukegan, when she reused herself
today from the first real sleep she has had
in nine days
When her mother brought the box of
valentines which the little girl had pur-
chased just before her illness, Miriam
gave to her mother the names of her school
teacher and classmates to whom they were
to be sent.
Al DIR. Paul Berger, of Waukegan, af-
ter he had snapped back into place the
vertebrae which he believes were the cause
of the trouble was saying goodby to the
Rubin family, Miriam interrupted: CHOW,
DOCTOR you can go and break somebody
else's neck" Within two weeks little Mi
riam will be restored to normal health, DR..
Berger stated.
Constant Treatment for two weeks
will be necessary to keep the vertebrae
in natural alignment and carry Miriam
safely through the present critical period.
Tho delicate segments of the child's spinal
column, which DR.. Berger restored to their
proper place Sunday night, had been
RULED out Of alignment again today by
the abnormal contraction of the muscles
IN the neck. Again the surgeon was oblig
ed to manipulate these muscles, and nv
sklllful pressure of the finger tips return
the two dlslocated vertebrae to normal
The ch1lds temperature has reached tn
near normal and her chatter was 1oss
incoherent today.
