 No, dear, you see by the letter that mother expressly told me not tc come. She said I would only be a trouble and that l could do nothing for father"

NOSE. BLEEDING

The nose Is perhaps more apt 10 get In trouble. and epistasis results, because IL protudes from the general contour of your face into the world. subjected to painful fractures. Bleed ing is usually the result with pain and discomfort.
 Epistaxis may be the result Of any one Of many important disturbances. Its attack comes from within and not from contact or surface blows. Nose bleed calls for careful. expert treat ment. where a loss of blood may mean days and even weeks of lost vitality, severe heart strain or vertigo. Ere auent periods of spistaxis often come with a gush when least expected. .
 The latest study and treatment Of thls trouble ascribes some of the in,- portsnt causes as cerebral congestion, haemophia Hereditary tendency to profuse bleeding or hemorrhage. sexual trouble particularly among young girls at tho period of puberty. high blood pressure at middle age, kidney trouble of certain types and as result of local disease or ulcer. To these may be added common nasal colds with the inflammation. conges- ton and rupture Of the blood vessels in the mucous membranes of the ol- factory system.
 In many cases the bleeding will cease or control itself in short time. But not the real epietaxia, and ire quently heroic treatment has to be given to avoid exhaustion.
 . Tn the more severe attacks, adren- slin, which has come to be such an aid as stimulant and haemostatic, may be used to check the flow. A little wad of absorbent cotton satur- ated with adrenalin and inserted rather tightly in the nose will usually prove effective.
 Another good home treatment is to use piece of lemon or small soft cloth wrung out in vinegar, as an as- tringent. If these do not stop the bleeding the nose must be plugged and 8 physician called at once.
 In milder cases try cold application to the outside of the nose or pressure on the nose or upper lip. Another convenient method is to place roll of bandage (about one-fourth inch in diameter and one inch long) under the upper lip. This also gives the de- sired pressure.

 But Mr. Guffey did not grin. The stranger was half head taller than he was.
 It was terrible blow to Mr. Cuff fey's pride. He appeared to be try ing to swallow his Adams apple as he fumbled in his pocket Of course the tall farmer didn't really want a match. He was only fooling. But Mr. Guffey was such serious-minded person that he didn't realize that.
 "I ain't got match" lie faltered.
 That's all right" cried the tall farmer, skipping Mir. Guffey warmly upon the back.
 And that was another terrible blow for Mir. Guffey. Not in his remem- branas had anybody slapped him on the back like that. He felt positively ill. His face turned a Sellowish green. .

The tall farmer joined the throng that pressed about MT. Gufey. He redged his way forward until he stood right behind Mr. Guffey. Then he touched Mir. Gufsy's elbow and spoke.
 Mir. Guffey turned slowly around and glanced down. expecting to meet the eyes of some stranger. To his nstonishment there were no eyes there, where he had expected to find them. A queer puzzled look came over Mir Gufey's countenance. Lit tle hv little he lifted his gaze. until he found himself locking up into the tall farmers face.
 Then the tai farmer spoke again.

 "S-n-no. thank you.' Mir. Guffey stammered.

 Johnnie Green followed the tall farmer and his two friends to the ttcsct- sellers little box, in front Of the side-show.

 Land, no," said the farmer.
 You ought to be-" said the ticket seller. You and your friends 80 on in, free, and see the side-show. But don't you put our giant in your pocket and walk of with him.
 The visiting giant, and his two com panions. laughed at this joke, then passed into the tent. Johnnie Green followed at their heels.
 They entered just as Jobnnie's friend Mir. Guffey, the Giant of the circus was indulgink in the little by play that always pleased hinl-that of descending from his platform and mingling with the crowd. His back was toward the entrance.

 l almost stopped short in the hall. however. on discovering that the bathroom door stood ever so slightly ajar. 1t was not possible for any ore in the hall to see Dicky at his shaving, but the circumstance gave me much food for conjecture. The bathroom opening upon the public hall in this apartment always had been one of his strongest objections to the place, and he never had shaved in it before without closing and locking the door. Why had he broken his rule this morning? Was 1t possible that his curiosity to see Mollie Fawcett was so strong that he meant to inspect her through the crack of the door should she leava the Marks apartment before he fn- ished shaving"

 Drawer.

Drawer.
 I am putting this letter from moth- CT, dear little Marquise, with my oth- CT documents in this drawer which you gave to me as d repository of my most secret and sacred thoughts. From it you will see how impossible it would be to bother either mother or father with demands for money at this time and you, of course, know al ready of Jacks need.
 I am literally almost crazed with anxiety and almost broken-hearted also over Jacks unfeeling conduct. When I received this letter yester- day from mother telling me that dad was so i'll, l didn't know what to do. I did not dare telerhope to Jack at the office and explain to him what mother had written and 1 knew if should telephone and ask him to come home he would not come un- less I gave him an adequate reason for coming
