''I wouldn't mind," confessed AL

The chance encounter was not their
last meeting. Although inclined to
be what Alfred called "stand- ofish,"
Mary O'Brien was finally induced to
take a spin in his car when Mrs. Ro-
senberg declared she needed the air
after being cooped up with Junior all
day. Later there was luncheon and
a matinee; a concert and visit to
one of the art galleries. Then Mrs.
Rosenberg talked too much at her
bridge club, of which Alfred's mother
was also member, and the very next
day Miss O'Brien received very ur-
gent note asking her to call at that
lads home.
"I'm not going to beat around the

Mrs. Frankenstein felt more and
more nervous. She found it hard to
talk rudely to this quiet girl in grey
tweed who somehow looked very ele-
giant although it wasn't likely she'd
ever worn diamond in her whole life.
But she braced herself for the strug

"Just as good as engaged to Gene

Well out of the anaesthetic at last,
young Alfred Frankenstein was con-
scious at the same time of burn
ing sensation Of thirst and distinct
throb of pleasure. His artistic sense
was stirred at the picture of the
pretty probationer in the doorway,
the vivid blue of her gown in fine re-
lief against the sheaf of crimson
roses she carried. Her eyes he no
ticed were gray and fearless, her
brows beautifully curved beneath the
sweep Of her dark hair; he liked, too,
the golden brown of her skin, the
full scarlet Of her lips. He decided
lazily that if he ever got to doing
magazine covers he'd like to put a
cap on her and call it "The Pretty
Nurse" or something of that sort,
Then he was aware that she was
speaking and pulled himself up to lis
ten.
- sI don't think you'd better have
these in your room now, but l
thought you'd like to see your roses
before I put them in water. This
card was with them" She dropped
a bit of pasteboard on the spread and
was about to go when he detained
her.
''When will they give me drink,
Miss-Miss-?"
"Miss O'Brien," she finished for
him. "Your own nurse will be in d.
rectly and tell you what the doctors
orders are" She closed the door
quietly behind her and left Alfred to
look over the card.
''To show you I'm thinking of you
while you're sick," Genevieve Roth
had written across the back of her
visiting card. Alfred frowned a lit
tie. Genevieve was too darn likely
to think of him, well or sick, he re-
fected surly. And entirely too eager
to tell him when she did. She was a
pretty girl and her father had money
and his own mother liked her, but
why did she have to run after him
quite SO openly? He wished Jewish
girls had more reserve. That Miss
O'Brien now, with her quiet voice and
her queens manner. He couldn't
imagine her making herself cheap
over any man!
Convalescence after an appendicitis
operation is not always a bore; for
example the patient may be busy
mother, grateful for several weeks of
enforced rest, or hard-pushed bust
ness man from the suburbs who
takes a secret delight in leisurely
breakfast in bed instead of a mad
rush for the $40 every morning. But
Alfred was an idler both by temper
ament and profession; it was no nov
city for him to rest or to breakfast
at nine; and he soon became thor
oughly bored. To make matters
worse his private nurse, Miss Mar
tin, was a most efficient young wo-
man with stringy hair and glasses,
who never made him think of mag
azine covers or anything artistic;
while the pretty probationer, Miss
O'Brien, seldom appeared and when
she did was all too mindful of hos
pital etiquette and never had time to
linger for a chat.
But he met her several years later
when he called upon his old chum,
Dave Rosenberg. Rosenberg and he
had been chums at the Art School;
Rosenberg had done some well-paid
if not especially meritorious work
since graduation in the advertising

TEMPERATURES AND TEMPER

The relation of temperature to temper is too close to
be disregarded One detective of long experience notes
that many of the famous murders in national annals
have been committed in the weather, and daily
usa newspapers depressing evidence of the efficacy
of hot DAYS as stimuant violent quarreng and murd
assault.
In the of the great crimes referred to, the deec
tive gives first the fact that people lv
ing makes the victim easily accessible
Second the mind sick with long brooding real fan
ced wrongs becomes famed by the added discomfort of
extreme heat the longcontroed temper slips its leash,
and the deed is done.
The same thing happens to mder degree in the
family quarrel the neghborhood the sudden flare
up between friends frequent in the heated For
this the hot weather warnings which emphasize
keeping cool mentally have double force
The who allows himself to become the mental vic
tim of the heat is irritable and flies into RACES becomes
the physical victim of the hot weather WELL No passion

sorts of sorry consequences will do all he to keep cool

UNCLE WIGGILY AND GRANDPA
BULL

BY HOWARD r. GARIs

Uncle Wiggily was hopping one day
near the duck pond ocean where Lulu,
Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble, the
ducks, practiced their swimming les
Sons, when, all of sudden, near
place where the tall eattail rushes
grew, the bunny gentleman heard a
loud splash in the water.
"Oh, my!' cried Mr. Longears, as he
jumped aside to hide under log
'.That must be the Woozie Wolf or the
Fuzzy Fox throwing stones at me! But
that stone didn't hit me, for it fell
into the water. However, L must be
careful!
Uncle Wiggily kept himself hidden
under the friendly log and waited,
thinking to hear. more splashes III the
water, which tell of other stones being
thrown at him. But he heard no splash
es, and he saw neither the Woozie Wolf
nor the Fuzzy Fox.
81 must have been mistaken said
Uncle Wiggily out loud.
"And Bully and Bawly No Tail will
find out that they have been mistaken,
also!" cried a loud voice not far away.
"My goodness! Who s that " asked
Uncle Wiggily, greatly surprised.
"Ha! Hal Ha! Don't be afraid. y
went ON the loud voice, quite jolly
one, by the way.
But who are your asked the rab-
bit gentleman.
"I m Grandpa Bull, the frog, = was
the answer. 81 heard you coming and
thought you were some boys getting
! ready to throw stones at me, so !
| pumped myself into the water.
"Oh, then it was you who made the
big splashf'' asked Uncle Wigglly, com
ing out from beneath the log.
81 suppose 50, croaked Grandpa
Bull with loud laugh. ~ am getting

booming noises sounded, though not so
loud as the first. "Oh, / must run
home!" barked the Fox. 81 don {
want to get caught in the rain. II
nibble your ears some other day, Uncle
Wiggily."
] "I hope not!p whispered Uncle Wig
gily to himself. "And ] guess l d bet
ter hop home myself" he added. AS
he was running past the duck pound
suddenly he heard the booming, thun-
dering sound again and voice said
\ "There, Bully and Bawly, see if you
can croak as loudly as thatl Z"
+" Booml Booml" sounded two lesser
noises and then voice said: "No use,
Grandpa Bull. You were right. We
aren t big enough yet to beat you
eroaking. y
" Ha! Hail. laughed the bunny, as he
saw the three frogs. "It WASH Z thull-
der after all that scared the Fox. 1t

fun with them, and he did.
SO the Fox had no ear nibbles that
day. But if the ice pick doesn t try

Uncle Wiggily looked Mt the old gen,
tleman frog, the bunny thought he had
never met with ono so nearly a giant
in size He was almost as large as the
largest pussy cat you ever saw.
"Well, IN glad it was YOU, and not
the Wolf or Fox" said Uncle Wiggily
to Grandpa Bull, as the frog hopped up
out of the water and the bunny sat
on the log.
'And | IN glad You weren I lot or
bows coming to throw stones at mel "
rumbled Grandpa Bull.
"What was that you said about
Bully and Bawiy9' asked the bunny.
''Oh, those little rascals of boy
frogs think they can sing as loudly as
their grandfather. laughed Mr.. Bull
The other day they were boasting
how loudly they could croak. 1T ism t
good for boy frogs to get too large an
idea of themselves, so ] told Bully and
Bawly / would meet them here today
and see who was the loudest croaker.
Just wait until they hear me, said
the old frog "They IL wish they had
never boasted. Once | croak my loud
est-well, here s a sample, -. and puff
ing himself up, Grandpa Bull made the
ground fairly tremble with his booming
croak, and Uncle Wiggily must needs
hold his paws over his ears so he
wouldn't be made deaf
"How s that2'' asked Grandpa Bull
"Wonderful. answered Uncle Wig
gily.
Then Uncle Wiggily hopped along to
look for an adventure, for he thought
to himself that he didn t want to be in
the neighborhood when Grandpa Bull
and the two boy frogs had their croak
ing race to see who could make the
most noise.
The bunny gentleman hoped on and
on, while Grandpa Bull sat on the shore
of the duck pond ocean waiting for
Bully and Bawlv to come and try their
voices against him.
AS for the rabbit gentleman, he had
not hoped very far, before he met
Mamie Wagtail, the goat girl, and poor
Mamie was in trouble, for she was
carrying home Il basket of groceries
from the store, when the handle of the
basket broke.
"Never mind, - said Uncle Wiggily,
kindly, 81 II gnaw you another handle
from piece of wild grape vine. There
are many vines growing hereabout. -
So the bunny gnawed new handle
for Mamie IS basket, but sent her on
her way home happy. Then, all of Il
sudden, as the bunny was twinkling
his pink nose, the Fuzzy Fox leaped

One Minute Essay

There are only five important de-
posits of gem opals in the world. One
of the richest Of these is iIr Humboldt
county, New. The mine is about mile
above sea level and the change of
water content of gems incident to ear
rying them to lower levels sometimes
affects them deleteriously all opals
contain from three to 10 percent of
water. Every known kind Of opal has
been taken from the Nevada deposit.
The National Museum at Washington
has collection of these gems, red,
white, black, blue, brown, green and
purple. There are two which evidently
replaced fossilized wood and three fos-
silized bones. A few. years ago the
largest known black opal was taken
from the mine there, 1t weighs nearly
IL ounces troy and is about half as
large as an ordinary brick. At the pre-
yailing price per carat this gem is
worth upward of $4,000 but on account
of its rare size its actual value is con
siderably more than that. Experts
figure its value at least as high as that
of fine opal from mine in Hun
gary which has been appraised at $780,
