In the field she halted, held by the
growing sense of peace that crept TO
her from the rosy light in the cot
tage, now near. 1t was as il soft
loving arms EMBODIED her, arms that
protected her from sorrow as well as
from sin. The daylight was fading
into dusk; the wild flowers at her
feet took on faint, weird shapes, as if
they were browsing in the semi dark
ness. Olive wished she were one of
them that she, too. might fall asleep
in the field, and-forget.
The light in the window beckoned
her and slowly she moved on. She
crept close TO the window with the
raised blind. That raised blind! 1t
spoke of security as well as peace.
She crept close.
Within, the two dear people sitting
in their old, so-well-remembered
places, one each side of the table,
the reading lamp between, shining on
both alike. Mrs. Lee looked up and
spoke. Olive pressed still closer
Her cheek nearly touched the pane
Were they talking of her? Tears fell
from her eyes. How dear 1t all was
how peaceful.
Her eyes roved hungrily about the
homely, familiar place. The bird

cat lazily purring on the rug; the
Scotch terrier by his masters side
Was she not fortunate to have such
a haven?

Athlete and PHYSICAL Director

If women could be prevailed upon
to continue their athletics with half
the zest with which they begin we
should soon have a race of super
women.
But they are quicker to stop than
to start.
Men realize exercise Is necessary
to keep them fit for their work. They
undertake it in moderation and keep
it up.
But women want to accomplish ev-
erything at once. They want to lose
flesh or gain it more quickly than is
possible. If they can't notice re-
suits the first week they discontinue.
The only women | find who exer-
else properly are theatrical women,
because it is part of their job to stay
fit.
The exercises | am describing to-
day. which Constance Talmadge is
shown doing so easily, are simple, but
If every woman would practice them
Is minutes a day she would quickly
gain beauty and health.
They are beneficial at all times,
but particularly at this time of the
year when vitality is naturally low.
The woman unused to exercise
should not do each one more than
four times the first day: then on the
fourth day increase 1t to eight times,
and after SIX days to l6.
Remember, muscles unused for a
number of years are likely to be stiff

Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

LITTLE MITE STEALS AN EGG
If Peter Rabbit could have known
how Reddy Fox had been sitting so
close to little Mite, the lost baby of
Danny Meadow Mouse, that his tan
was over him and that he did not
know it at all, Peter would simply
have laughed in his sleeve instead OF
being angry and anxious as he saw
Reddy coming in his direction. Not
that Peter was afraid for himself.
oh, my, no! He had seen Reddy IN
plenty of time and he knew that his
long legs would take him to safety.
What made him anxious was the
thought that Reddy would be sure
to poke around and try to find out
what Peter had been doing.
Now, you know Peter had been try
ing to find the lost baby of Danny
Meadow Mouse so as TO to take him
back home and what he was afraid
of now was that Reddy's keen little
black nose might find what Peters
eyes had been unable to find. So
Peter didn't hurry away as fast as
he would have otherwise. In fact.
Peter took chances. He actually
tried to tempt Reddy to chase him so
that he might lead him away from
that place. He made faces at Red
dy and called him names. But Reddy
had found out from one of the Merry
Little Breezes, who had been thought
less, the secret of the lost little
Meadow Mouse, and he paid no at
tention whatever TO Peter. Instead
he began to run this way and that
way with his nose to the ground,
shifting for some trace of Meadow
Mouse, and all the time he was going
farther and farther from where little
Mite was.
Now, just as soon as little Mite
thought it was safe to move, he be-
gan to run in the opposite direction.
He wanted to get just as far as he
could from that dangerous neighbor-
hood. 1t was hard work pushing
through the grass, for there were no
little paths there but he was too
| frightened to mind the hard work
and kept right on. One thing he
had learned, and that was the wis
dom of keeping perfectly still when
an enemy was near and hadn't yet
seen him 1t was one of the most
important lessons he would ever
learn, though he didn't know it at
the time.
After what seemed to him like a
very long time he came to tiny
path. 1t wasn't as good a path as
the private little paths that Danny

COMMITTING TO LISBON

When you enter the little station OF
a Portuguese town near Lisbon and
look about for the ticket office you
may be bit puzzled Then your
glance falls on a tiny little window,
just large enough to pass your hand
through. 1t is set very low; you al
most have to lie down to see through
it with one eye.
When you achieve this position.
Your eye meets the black eye Of the
ticket agent. Now you must take
away your eye and apply your mouth
to the window and ask for a ticket
Then you remove your mouth and
apply your ear to hear how much It
is going to cost. All this takes time,
a great deal Of time--and develops
long unused muscles--but no one is
pressing you impatiently from be-.

"One thousand and eight hundred
reis!" the ticket agent Kisses in your
ear At first you stagger at the tre-.
mendous sum, and do a little calcu- i
lating which ends with the reaiiza -

good money, all this amounts only to

| A timid whistle IS heard in the dis

and without any jar or noise of any
kind the train glides off to make two
more stops before going straight on
to Lisbon. a matter of some seven

WOLF AND LAMB UP TO DATE

Here is the latest version of the
tale of the Wolf and the Lamb:
Taking advantage of the universal
disorder the wolf one day left the
woods. He met a lamb that quietly
grazed in the meadow.
I'm going to eat you," he said sim
ply. mo use asking explanations.
don't do it out of malice or ven-
geance. I am a wolf. thou art lamb;
that sufffices.'' So
The lamb asked for five minutes
respite and ran straight to the seat
of the Society for the Protection of
Animals, where it made known its
case. I'VE are here they answered,
ito protect the animals from men,
and not from other animals. II the
wolf wants to eat you. nothing can be
done 1t is the law"
Filled with despair, the lamb re-
turned to its doom. On the way it
met an old he-goat. who. on learning
the lambs misfortune. was seized
with great pity. He took 1t to his
house and powdered its fleece all over
with pepper until the white lamb had
turned black.
Go now" said the old goat. "and
don't be afraid
"The wolf waited. full OF conf
dence. 1t was difficult for him to
recognize the lamb, but he snapped
at it all the same. Immediately he
choked and his eyes filled with tears.
tGo off" he said, releasing his
prey. There is is no longer justice
in the world. 1t is the end of every
thing"
And, with his tail lowered, he went
back to the woods.
What does the fable teach? The
answer may be suggested by the cir
cumstance that this version appears
in a Bulgarian paper-and Bulgaria is
supposed to have had a narrow escape
from being despoiled by Greece.-The
New York Tribune.

He wondered if it was good to eat
The only way to find out was TO bite
it and find out. At first it slipped
away from his sharp little teeth. He
clutched it in both hands and tried
again. This time his teeth went
through, and inside was something
simply delicious! He sucked it all
out and it seemed to him that he
never had tasted anything quite so
good. You see, he was very hungry.
He had just reached for another
of the little speckled things when
without any warning at all some
thing sharp hit him on the head.
"Ouch!" cried little Mite and started
to run. And then it seemed as If
hundred enemies were striking at him
from all sides. and the air was filled
with shrill. angry cries. Somehow
he couldn't fight back. All he could
do was to run and run. At last the
terrible blows stopped But little
Mite didn't. He wanted to get as far
away as he could. So he ran until
he could no longer hear the angry
voice behind him. 1t was the voice
of Little Friend the Song Sparrow,
for it was Little Friends nest that
he had found and one of Little
Friends eggs that he had stolen.

CHAPTER XII
The top of the world,

The top of the world.
In her studio Olive once again be-
came aware of the fear that had
swept over her when she knew she
was locked in the room with Donald
when she first realized his deceit,
it's motive. She gave little sobbing
cry, and bending her head between
her shoulders she crouched as from
a blow. She covered her face with
her hands as she called:
'Mother-on, mother!"
1t was such cry as frightened
children give when afraid of the dark.
And what was she but a child? What
did she know of men, good or bad?
Unfortunately Olive felt that had
it not been for her confession to DON
aid, his knowledge of her birth. he
would not have so offended her, he
would not have dared-it was be-
cause she was "nobody's child that
he had not been afraid.
He wouldn't have treated Grace
or the others so," she moaned in her
distress, longing to go to Grace and
tell her what had happened, yet
sitting that longing as she always
had every impulse to confide any
thing that hurt her.
There are people who can pour out
their woes, even their slightest an
noyances, and so be rid of them-at
least to a degree. But others, like
Olive, bury them deeply in their
hearts and brood over them. Telling
ones troubles never cured them, but
sometimes 1t seems to help one bear
them. Especially Is this true with
the young.
But since the day when the school
children had first called her mo
body's child Olive had hidden every
thing in her heart. Now she had one
more secret. One thing more that
neither father nor mother must know
not because of the wrong she had
done by neglecting her work, by all
lowing Donald to persuade her to
waste her time, but because what had
come out of her foolishness would
hurt them cruelty.
Almost as much as It has me-"
she sobbed.
It was early evening Of the follow
ing day. Across a daisy and butter
cup field toward the little white house
that had sheltered her from baby
hood, Olive walked. She knew that
inside that house were hearts that
for a days forgetfulness of the insult
but had made her past more of a
scourge than ever.
1t had been sudden impulse. She
had returned to her studio trembling,
fearful, crying upon God to pit her.
She was good, like her mother Lee,
no matter what her own mother had
been. Her eyes rested for moment
upon a picture on her table. A ko-
dak of herself and her mother feed
ing the chickens, a snapshot taken by
Jack Sayre. 1t brought a sickening
wave of homesickness, quick re-

Although illness of every sort is far
more serious to the younger babies,
older babies do suffer from serious
attacks of diarrhea, especially in
summer. For the most part, these
result from mistakes in feeding at
about the weaving period. AS the
child begins to eat solid foods, after
an exclusive milk diet, mothers are
very prone to hasten matters too fast.
They like to have the baby come
to the table and eat what the family
has. In this way a baby often Is
given foods which are not suited to
his digestion, and those who are
really harmful to him. Probably
some of the frequent sources of di-
gestive upsets in these older children
are the summer fruits, either those
which are over-ripe or under-ripe.
But whatever the cause, the moth
er should be on her guard, If the baby
begins to fret and shoy signe of in
digestion.
The treatment of a severe case of
diarrhea with vomiting and fever
should always be directed by ply
sician, If one can be had. In the
meantime, castor oil may be given
Give two teaspoonfuls in lemonade or
orange juice. Never give an Offend
| ing medicine in milk. or any common
! food, lest the child may thus be
turned against it.
After the child is well, he should
| be kept quiet, and be given light
| foods for some time. 1t is very easy
to induce a second attack of diarrhea
| in child who has had one, and
even though he demands all sorts CT
things, the wise mother will stick to
milk, broths, thin gruels and the like

tack, especially If the weather is ho..
He should have a cool room and a
quiet life and should be kept in bed
at least for some days. These i'll
nesses are weakening and the little
patient needs the best possible OPP
portunity to regain his full strength
after going through such an ordeal.
| Diarrhea can easily be prevenled,
certainly in very many cases. If ev-
! cry mother would keep set of rules
| for proper feeding at hand, using
| those for each age, and would add
| to this care, much attention to keep

with fresh air, day and night, she
would have little to fear, even il her
