1929. On account of these extraordin-
ary results, goiter prevention has been
instituted as public health measure
throughout the entire state which Is
the most noted goiter district in the
world.
In Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin
effort is being made to carry out this
public health measure through the pub
lie schools, but nothing definite has
been accomplished as yet. 1t is found
the best method is to give the choco-
late coated tablet of the organic iodine
once week throughout the year, max.
ing goiter prevention one of the most
pleasant and efficient parts of school
work The possibility of harm from
dosage of iodine is absolutely negli-
gible. We saw mild rash in but one
per thousand treated in Akron. Switz-
erland reports not one single case. Not
one case of exophthalmic goiter has
been produced. This method of goiter
prevention is absolutely safe. It is
easily applied. it is entirely practical.
If every girl during adolescence-that
is from eleven to sixteen inclusive
would take this treatment, goiter would
not develop.
1t is felt that the maximum good
from n minimum of effort would be
gained by applying the principle of
goiter prevention to girls as public
health measure. This can best be done
through our public school organization
Plans for the giving of this trea'
ment will be perfected as soon as pos
sible. Watch this column for further
information.

No word from George Thorne had
come to Forlorn River In weeks. Gale
grew concerned over the fact, and
began to wonder II anything serious
could have happened to him. Mer-
cedes showed slow. wearing strain.
Thorne's commission expired the
end Of January, and II he could not
get his discharge Immediately, he
surely could obtain leave Of absence.
Therefore. Gale waited. not without
growing anxiety, and did his hest to
cheer Mercedes. The first of February
came bringing news Of rebel activities
and bandit operations In and around
Casita- but not word from the cav
alryman.
A dozen times Gale declared he
would ride In to Casita and find out
why they did not hear from Thorne
however, older and wiser heads pre
vailed over his impetuosity. Beldins
and the rangers and the Yaqui held o
consultation. Not only had the Indian
become faithful servant to Gale, but
he was also Of value to Belding
YaQui had all the craft of his class
and superior intelligence. His knowl
edge Of Mexicans was second only tc
his hate OF them. And YaQui, who
had been scouting on all tine trails
gave information that made Bedding
decide to wait some days before send
ing anyone to Casita.
1t was upon Gales coming from this
conference that he encountered Nell
Since the interrupted siesta episode
she had been more than ordinarily
elusive, and about all he had received
from her was tantalizing smile fror
a distance. He got the impression
now, however. that she had awaited
him. When he drew close to her hs
was certain Of 1t, and he experienced
more than surprise.

Dick turned away then and left the
patio by the opening into the yard
Nell was really sleepy, and when she
had fallen asleep again he would re
turn. He walked around for a while
Presently. as If magnet-drawn, he re
traced his steps to the patio and en-

Nell's face he divined she was feign.

looked rebellious.
himself. Belding had kept the rangers
In on the line, and therefore Dick
had been idle most Of the time, and,
though he tried hard. he had been
unable to stay far from Nell's vicinity.
He believed she cared for him but
he could not catch her alone long
enough to verify his tormenting hope.
He had long before enlisted the loyal
Mercedes In his cause; but In spite of
this Nell had been more than q match
for them both.
Gale pondered over an idea he had
long revolved in mind. and which now
suddenly gave place to decision that
made his heart swell and his cheek
burn. He went In search Of Mrs. Bel
ding. and found her busy in the
kitchen.
Belding had subtly and Incompetent
sively changed. He understood her
less than when at first he OWNED an
antagonism in her. II such thing
were possible she had retained the
antagonism while seeming to yield to
some influence that must have been
fondness for him. Gale had come to
care greatly for Nell's mother. Not
only was she the comfort and strength
Of her home but also Of the inhabi-
tants Of Forl0rn River. Indian, Mexi-
can. American were all the same to
her In trouble or illness; and then she
was nurse. doctor. peacemaker, helper.
She was good and noble. and there was
not child or grownup in Forlorn
River who did not love and bless her.
But Mrs. Belding did not seem happy.
She seldom smiled. and never laughed.
There was always soft, sad. hurt
look in her eyes. Gale often won

In her life than the supposed loss Of

up, greeted him.

Belding called her that, and so did
Ladd and Lash, but 1t was the first
time for Dick. "Alother-I want to
speak to you"
The only indication Mrs. Beldina
gave Of being startled was In her
eyes. which darkened, shadowed with
multiplying thought.

for anyone to forget this woman she

The taste fingered.
Mrs. Hignett was a woman of IN

her late visitor was speaking, schemes
had begun to form in her mind like
bubbles rising to the surface or a
rushing river. BY the time the door
had closed behind Bream Mortimer she
had at her disposal no fewer than

listening ears. She opened the door
and went nOiselessly in.

The diamond Is a stone of yellow
