When A Girl Murries =:

he brought us here he went down
to stand another watch, or what
ever you call 1t, at your desk. He
said you probably hadn't returned,
and so he'd go down to take your
place"
At my words Mr.. Rogers face
twisted into fury and words burst
from his lips:
"The young fool! he muttered
I'll teach him
Then he caught himself up
again, but in a voice which still
had the tone Of stridency he'd
been using a moment before, he
fairly shouted:
From what you say ! gather
that the boy came away from
his post to bring you up here.
That's what ratified me. He knew
he should have stayed till / got
back from seeing my friend off
for Canada. I'll be up again in
five minutes, but now, II you'll
excuse, 1 really must go and see
about that boy"
He started down the hall as he
spoke and turned to fling back
over his shoulder as IL in ex-
PLANTATION a startlingly loud:
Cant have the desk deserted
on the one night of my life when
I have to quit the job and see
a friend off for Canada"
I stood still and silent for a
moment as his footsteps died
away down the corridor. I had
a definite impression that he'd
been getting a message to Dad
Lee somehow.
Could 1 trust young Stafford
Or Mr.. Rogers? Neither-or
both?
II wasn't possible to come to
any conclusion, so I opened the
door and went back to the sick
room, which seemed more like a
chamber Of intrigue. Dad Lee

Ideals for Girls
STUDYING THE LIVES OF NOTED WOMEN

women put in all their lives on
things as trifling as needles and
pins, and that accordingly their
daily thoughts scarcely ever rise
above such petty things. Now,
without knowing exactly what they
are doing or why, II may be that
the $50 high school girls havs hit
upon an ideal that should be made
general for those of their class.
We are constantly appealing to
boys to aim high, to seek lofty
purpose, to strive to become lead
ers, orators or statesmen.
But, as for our girls and their
future, the mass of what we hold
UP before their attention has been
needles and pins-mending, patch
ing, sewing, cooking, serving,
housekeeping. Master these and
be happy at the job, we have ad.
monished them.
That which chiefly made the ten
noted women famous-we may
expect the $50 girls to find-was
their lifelong devotion to generous
social ideals. They did not aban-
don the needles and pins, but they
refused to have their minds en-
shaved by trifling tasks, while
they looked for inspiration anC
large performances in a world Of
Teach your girl to master the
needles and pins as mere passing
incidents, while she looks ahead.
1t is no more natural that women
should live for men than that men
should live for women. Both
halves Of the human family belong
equally to each other. Under the
new freedom now accorded them,
girls and young women are most
certainly beginning to aspire to
development into complete woman
ly human beings.
They may be expected to handle
their domestic duties better than
ever for the reason that they are
going to subordinate these to
larger sphere Of interests and
achievements.

Some Heart
Troubles
BY Brice Belden, nj. d.

TARDIAC murmurs are not
regarded so seriously today
as formerly, thanks to the
researches of our ablest experts
IN this field of medicine. What
counts in these cases is the con-
dition Of the heart muscle.
So long as the heart muscle Is
functionally equal to the circula.
tory demands put upon It a muir
muir need not give cause for con-
Germ. All that the presence of a
murmur really calls for is a care
full investigation as to the func-
tional capacity of the heart mus
Gle, and when that Is found to
be reasonably good further worry
should be abandoned.
Medical science has many ways
nowadays of testing the muscular
mechanism Of the heart; some of
them are simple, while others are
quite complex, calling for special
apparatus and expertness in It's
employment. But the patient
himself can gauge his heart
power rather shrewdly by the
state Of his wind, as the saying
goes.
In going up a long flight Of
stairs. for example, the heart and
respiratory organs of a person in
whom these structures are sound
will not be embarrassed for long,
or perhaps not at all. unless the
ascent has been very rapid. OF
course. II an individual Is very
stout, or anemic, or asthmatic,
exertion may greatly embarrass
the heart and lungs. even though
there is no actual heart trouble.
. When acute indigestion" is as.
signed as a cause of death the
patient has really died because of
degeneration or dilation of the
muscular chambers of the heart,
resulting weakness and failure,
the indigestion acting in indirect
fashion to intensity the cardiac
breakdown.
Murmurs, II may be said, are
abnormal sounds heard at or near
the offices of the cardiac valves,
produced, for example. by rough
ening of the valves. or distortion,
such changes being usually due
to rheumatic involvement of the
fibrous tissue Of which the valves
are composed.
In children, the worst cases
frequently clear up magically.

A T sight of Carlotta and me
~ at Dad Lees bedside. Mr..
- Rogers pulled himself up
short with an effort which was
clearly evident. Then. in a
hushed and deliberately syinpa-
ent from the energetic way he'd
come flinging into the room. he
asked:
us he all right! Anything We
can do for him?"
Dad Lee stirred and moaned
fretfully. I watched him for a
second.
Then I turned to Carltta. She
sat in a shadow staring across the
room-intently as could see
beyond doubtful 1t wasn't at
Dad Lee she gazed. Her eyes
were boring into Mr.. Rogers
face.
I'D better come out into the
hall to speak to you" I replied.
At once he held open the door
and stood aside for me to pass.

when your father was brought in"
exclaimed Mr.. Rogers. You had
my assurance once not 80 very
long ago that I'd do anything in
my power to serve him-or you.

added nervously, giving the name
Of the very hotel to which Lyons

to a loud and strident tone as he
pronounced the name of the
hotel. But what was even more

he is actually falling In love with

He was; but, nevertheless. Diana
entirely misunderstood him.
And so the early Summer days
passed at Adriutha, and Edger-
ton. always prone to accommo-
date himself to circumstances,
found 1t easier to keep his pact
with Mr.. Rivstt. .
Edgerton became amiably re-
conciled to his surroundings. to
his own position. Probably the
lack Of responsibility and the
pleasant idleness had much to do
with 1t.
Still, he really liked Jack Rivett
and Christine. In prosperous days
the chances would have been
against his ever giving himself
the opportunity Of liking them.
As for Silvette and Diana. they
were not only kindred, and SO to
be automatically cherished, but
they also were very charming and
delightful young girls; and Diana
aroused his curiosity.

gerton really were, she herself

his for Christine Rivett. 1t per-
picked her, saddened, irritated her
by turns, and 1t distressed her to
even question his motives.
But Silvette said one evening,
after they had undressed and the
maid had left:

"Married-her?" repeated Diana,
startled out of a reverie not en-

Household Hints

When frying fish dip 1t in milk
instead of batter or egg before
covering 1t with bread crumbs.
This method Is more economical
than either, and makes the fish
taste better.
When gravy does not brown as
1t should, add to 1t tablespoonful
of strong coffee.
When jelly will not set, add the
Juice of a lemon or some white
vinegar.
