of Stella sprang out from behind a bayberry bush. eyes flashing, as she seized the horses bridIe and hung onto it.
 With a violent snort of fear the startled beast halted and then the gypsy girl, advanced under the very nose of Ilona, and shaking her fist in her face shouted:
 I saw you before trying to make my man kiss you, and although he showed you that he had no desire to
 do so and only kissed the useless hand of you, you were not satisfied
 until you had pushed your pale face and body under his eyes and forced him to kiss you. lee! Beware of the
 hate of a gypsy girl, uona." And she
 half drew a short, slim dagger from
 her red sash significantly. Then kept
 her eyes fixed meaningly on Ilona's "I brook interference between
 myself and the man I love. Stay
 with your Cwn race. We want none
 of you. Like turns to like. Miguel
 has told me this a hundred times,'' she finished triumphantly. 1lona said nothing in reDlv but sud denly with an equally challenging look of rage and defiance she dug her heels into the horse. and before Stella could stop 1t she found herself in the deeps Of a briar bush panting with fury, as the horse bearing her enemy and Henry Gay went whirling down the road.
 Stella remember Stella remem- ber!" she yelled after them as she groaned and hobbIed to a more com forta ble resting place.
 Gee, Lona, but that was clever of you" burst from Henry Gay, admir-
 ingly, as they let up speed a few min utes later 'I thought we were both going to be stabbed or something ex citing!" There was a lingering note of regret in his voice as he thought os what might have been and of how near to being a hero of the hour he had come Ilona smiled at him even though her face was pale with her own recent fright.

STELLuA'S THREAT

Henry Gay seemed to understand instinctively that there was nothing he could or should say at that mo- ment to comfort his sister. so like the sensible youngster he was he sat down and let Ilona have her "weeps" out unm olested.
 "I know I'm looking foolish, Gay,' and a sniffle she looked over at him and tried to smile. But that, that girl just unnerved me, and I didn't want Miguel to know the details He would have been furious Did you, did you like the tents, and the people that you saw, dear?" Here she man. aged a genuine smile.
 Ever so much, Lona. My, but it must have been grand Twin with 'em always, as you did. Wish I could even for a week. No bothers or but tons. nor face washing, nor anything!" he said enViouSly. 'Why the boys there didn't have one clean face be- tween them, and they looked just as jolly as any in our stiff old class room."
 Never mind, Gay, whenever you can't stand it all after this you and I'll just steal off by our lonesomes and have a day in the woods and a picnic. It's the best thing fin the world for the blues or any unhappi- nesS.'
 Ilona jumped up on the horse, then helped Gay to get into his place be- hind her and with 8 cluck to the lazy animal, they set off. "We'H just get there before any questions need be asked, think, and let's hope that my eyes aren't too red. Are they, Gay?"
 "No, not too, too, but you look aw- ful pale and sort of sad.''
 Hist! brother, not a word about that. No one must ever know about my being sad, or frightened, or cry ling. You promise?
 Henry Gay gave the desired prom tse, and on they galloped.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl IA years old and am sophomore in high school. My mother is very strict with me and will not let me go any where except to school and church. She doesn't even allow me to go to Sunday school parties. I never want ed to go with boys as she seems to think I do, but I would like to go to some of the parties and have a good time as the rest of the girls do. She permitted few school parties last year when I went with my sister who went at that time. She has always let her go as much as she wanted to and is very good to me otherwise.
 Don't you think it is very unreason- able for a girl of my age to be made to stay at home so much?
 HOUSE PLANT.
 Yes do think it is unreasonable to keep you from all school and Sun day school parties. Since your. sister no longer attends, a way should be found to escort you to and from the festivities. Of course you are very young to be a sophomore at high school. but even at the age of 14 you are old enough to attend social actiVi- ties of the nature you mention. Of course you should return at a reason able hour at night.
 have no suggestion to offer, little girl, in regard to changing your mothers decision. You know her better than I do and possibly you will be able to find a way. Your sister might also be a help to you in per- suading her.
 Dear Mrs. Thopson: A few months ago was left widow with three lit tie children to support. I have two boys aged 10 and eight and a little girl of five. Since my husbands death we have been spending from our bank account and can see that soon 1t will be exhausted
 Before my marriage I worked in a fashionable dress-making shop in one of our largest cities and there I learn ed about cutting. fitting and sewing so that I have always been able to make very attractive clothes for myself and the children. Now my friends are asking me to sew for them and I am undecided whether I should or not.
 have thought of opening a class and cutting and fitting garments whioh my pupils would have to sew themselves. It seems to me that class work would be more interesting to me. and my pupils would have the worry of getting their garments done

If you need medicine consult a skilled physician. EOW TO SELECT YOUR FAMILY
 
 DOCTOR,

My friend, Dr. Evans.. of Chicago, wrote a correspondent that he should be examined by a good family doc tor Ga thing which I myself rather frequently advise) and was told: ''The ordinary layman is in no position to judge a physician. What is a good family doctod? ?' Dr. Evans answer ed: "One who shows judgment and sense in the ordinary affairs of life by attendance at hospitals. medical society meetings. by repute with other good physicians; by the books and journals read; by knowledge of med 1cine, medical judgment and skill" True, every word of it. And to Dr. Evans advice may I add, consider the character which the doctor you seek has among his neighbors.
 Character is the great word. Please, Reader, be sure to read Emerson's 8 Essay on this subject. I quote from memory. we do not find in any record of Washington's material deeds the reason for his greatness; in battle he was generally defeated; but today his soul represents the American nations nobIest, finest, su- premest possessions for good.'
 Character is the mani You will never go astray if you secure for your family doctor a man of character. 'But how Dr. Evans correspond ent intimates "are you to judge as to his ski1l?"

 Two items more-Concsience and Sympathy. An elderly physician once left an assistant on a grave case let me say of dfabetic coma. The as- sistant stuck to his patient most dili- gently all night long. Next morn ing he called on his chief and told him what he had done. Was I right in this; was I wrong in that?" and so on. Finally his chief interrupted: Are you of Puritan stock?" "No, why do you ask?" You appear to be burdened with conscience
 Now, the successful practitioner bears that load so long as he lives out his professional career.
