And remembering, too, that
the riches of your life is meas
ured not by what you acquire
but by what you experience; not
by what you can gather to your
self, but by what you can lavish

A talk like that touched Chickie
to the heart. Yes-she had
learned all that-glad now that
Life would let her serve. When
she put on the white cap her
thoughts brooded-how puzzling
ones very own soul could be.
And a year ago did she dream that
she would be walking through
these corridors, serene again; that
she would be wearing this uni
form; that she would even feel
herself absolved-well, somewhat,

CHAPTER XLVIII
THE GLASS HOUSE

The Doctors eyes rested on
Chickie with half-amused flick
or. Shouldn't a young nurse be
studying for a quiz, Miss Bryce?"
Chickie colored, but Jake
hunched his head with a rollicky:
"a young nurse is doing just as
she should! Shouldn't a young
doctor mind his p's and q's?" He
held Chickie's elbow, looking down
with challenging. possessive
pride.
She felt a trifled ruffled, but
answered: "Oh, the quiz is quiz
zed, and this, you see, is just
an afternoon"
They spoke a moment together.
When they were in the car Jake
tucked q robe about her, for it
was a sharp, brilliant day with
a snap in every breath. He
looked into her face, his black
eyes teasing: $50, no, my dear!
A mans man for a. that, eh?'
She pretended not to under
stand. Jake said: Now, look

would be perfectly right for you
to go, If you Wished it,
II don't. Oh, really-I want to
be left alone-except for you,
Jake. But, just the same, I'd
like to tell graceful and clever
lies and never be caught in
them"
Don't let them catch yotl-be

was in an irrepressible and joyous
mood.
But he stopped abruptly and
studied her: Helena, are you

you are you. Don't forget it."
She didn't forget it. There were
times when the thought Of Jake,
troubled her deeply; when, Tor in.
stance, she would find his eyes,
half laughing, all wooing, looking
into hers; or when his warm,
magnetic hand pressed with such
vivid touch, on hers. Once she
lowered her head--not thinking.
He stopped and kissed her neck.
She didn't move or look at him.
Then he forced her eyes up. And
he was very white. He said
humbly: You're not 1ngry,
Helena? 1 didn't mean it-you
know I didn't mean it. Would I.

She answered then as now: ~

ment: Flowers Of sulphur. two ounces I;
oil Of creosote, two drains; prepared
lard, four ounces. This ointment
should be applied each morning and
evening. Painting the affected parts
with tincture of iodine on alternate
days is also very effective. but this
agent should not be applied near the
animals eyes. The woodwork and the
walls OF the shed In which these calves
are housed should be painted with hot
limewash. to which has been added
couple OF ounces OF crude carbollc acid
With a little care and attention one

during the last decade. srys the United
States Department Of Agriculture. Al
though the number OF farm workers
decreased over per cent IN that
period the mass OF crop production in
creased about IS per cent. The In
creased efficiency e attributed chiefly
TO the use OF more and better ma
~chinery, the time saved BY the uss Of
automobiles, and 70 the fact that farm
owners and their families are working
harder or longer on account Of farm
labor shortage and high wages.
The average crop area per worker
