CHAPTER XLIL

AtOnemcnt
IN HE thought of death was suddenly so
real to Gloria that her fingers frightened
around Rolls. She gripped by an
intense pity, pity that made her feel hum
bic, and impetuously she began to speak
Rolf" she faltered, "this is Gloria. I'm
right here beside you. Open your eyes, dear
and speak to me. Tell me you're glad I
came" The word of endearment had
slipped out unaware Gloria was hardly con-
scious of what she said. She wanted to
catch his attention, to stop the restless NOV
ing of his head on the pillow, and suddenly
she put her other hand against his hot cheek,
turning his face toward her.
Rolf" she whispered again.
With what seemed a tremendous effort, his
eyes opened. He seemed to be looking into
her face, and yet there was a vagueness
in that glance that was as if curtain were
drawn between them.
Rolf, it's Gloria; don't you know me?"
A little frown gathered between his brows.
He seemed trying to remember, to concen-
trate, to force his consciousness out of the
deep, dark morass in which he was cropping,
and yet it was so hard, so hard
Gloria" He said her name wonderingly.
"Gloria!" But he did not know her. she
was sure of that. And after a moment his
lids fell over his tired eyes as though it
was too much of an effort to keep them
raised
kiss me, Gloria he was murmuring,
once more delirious. kiss me just once of
your own free will-to say goodby.'
And Gloria, intent on just one thing, to
arouse him, to make him aware of her pres
ence stopped lower and touched her fresh
young mouth to his fevered lips. AS she did
so her eyes brimmed over, and two tears
splashed down on his face 1t seemed to
trouble him, and as his lashes lifted again
his eyes looked directly into hers so very
close to him. Slow recognition dawned in
the glance.
Gloria" he said weakly. why, I must
be dreaming or else l am dead. Gloria. it
isC': yea, is it? You're not really here?"
And Gloria smiled on him, answering in
voice that she tried to keep from trem-
bling.
I'm really here, Rolf. I've come to
help you to get well. You must remember
that. and you must promise me to fight.
Don't give up the battle, not even for a
second. Remember, I'm right here, and I'll
help you all I can. You can get well if
you want to, if you exert your will to live
You mustn't 60 away and leave me now"
She hardly realized what she was saying
and anyway it didn't matter. DR.. Irwin
had told her she must give Rolf the incen-
tive to live, and she determined to do
it. no matter what she said. Her hands
were grasping both of his now, and her
clasp was firm and reassuring. She wasn't
at all sure that he had grasped the meaning
of all she had said, but she felt that he had

THE ATLANTA WEEKLY JouRNAL

Sleepy HollowS; children who should grow
up into strong men and women are dwarfed
and duled
Of the malaria germ from which these
misfortunes spring, an authority writes: ut
goes through several stages of development
something like that of a frog or butterfly.
1t is an organism which can not live and
multiply in the human blood alone, but must
spend some of it's existence outside the hui
man body. While in the blood it lives with
in the corpuscles themselves. At a certain
stage it frees itself and swims about in the
blood. When this occurs the patient has
fever and cftlls, with all the symptoms of
true malaria. Now comes along mosquito
and bites the persons stricken with malaria.
1t sucks up some of the blood. The malaria
germ then enters the mosquito and lives the
rest of it's life. In changing its home from
the human body to that of the mosquito, it
changes also in form, becoming what we
might call the larva or offspring of the orig
mai germ. Wnen tnlS germ natures SuIIl-
GENTLY it wanders through the tissues of the
mosquito to the salivary glands, and when
skin of the human body, the organism passes
easily into the fluids of the individual bitten.
Thus malaria is spread, always in an endless
chain, from human being to mosquito, and
from mosquito back to human being again"
Evidently, then, there are but two ways of
breaking the letters of malaria human be-
ings will have to be exterminated or anophe-
1ene mosquitoes will have to be exterminat-
ed. The latter course being the simpler, it
behooves communities that value health to
take effectual measures for adjustment of
the breeding places of mosquitoes-all mos
quitoes, for it is better in this case that
ninety and nine just mosquitoes should per-
ish than that one anopheles sinner should
escape. The Importance of such measures
can hardly be overgauged. Americans sue
ceeded in building a great Isthmian canal
where the French had failed. Why? Large
ly, for the reason that the Americans first
purged the zone of infections from which the
1aborers of de Lesseps had died by hundreds
Mosquitoes had to go before the canal could
come.
There are Georgia counties where, in re-
turn for thousands Af dollars spent on the
drainage of swamp and wet lands, millions
are accrung from agricultural and business
developments, and where benefits incalcu-
protection. To destroy mosquito breeding
beds, whether they be a swamp, a pool
puddle or an old tin can, is to prevent many
an i'll and gain many an advantage.

WEATHER LORE
By H. Addington Bruce

Dy II. DA1NG
T is interesting service that DR.. w. J.
| Humphreys has rendered in his book,
- weather Proverbs and Paradoxes." 1t
is practical service, too, for those whose
occupations make short-range local weather
forecasts Of Importance to them.
Writing expert meteorologlst-Dr.
Humphreys is connected with the Unites
States Weather Bureau-he has subjected
to scientific scrutiny the host OF proverblai
sayings relating to the weather, and 1ndl-
Gates the ones in which confidence may
Justly be placed. Also he states why conf
denCe may be placed in them.
Thus he includes among trustworthy sky
sign proverbs such familiar jingles as:
"Sky red in the morning
Is a sailors sure warning,
Sky red at night
Is the sailors delight"
eff the sun set in gray
The next will be a rainy day."
Evening red and morning gray
Help the traveller on his way
Evening gray and morning red
Bring down rain upon his head.
These and similar sayings quoted by DR..
Humphreys have a sound basis in the at
mospherc conditions that produce the vary
ing color effects. He notes, for example,
"a red morning sky means several things
quite different from those implied by a
gray one, viz:
THAT the atmosphere is rather humid,
else the clear sky would have short wave
length color, such as yellow or green
THAT as the sky is not gray, there are
no dew or water droplets on the dust par
ticles of the lower air
F'That therefore, this dust has been pro-
tected from excessive loss of heat by radi-
alton; and from this in turn, that the upper
air contains much moisture, the condition
that holds radiation losses down to a min
imum.
THAT is, a red morning sky implies that
the whole atmosphere up TO considerable
elevations, is humid, and rain, therefore,
probable later in the day "
On similar conditions or dryness or hui
nudity Of the upper air, plus other condi-
tons detailed by DR.. Humphreys, depends
the soundness of other weather proverbs ne
ndorses. AS
when the grass is dry at morning light
Look for rain before the night"
''When the dew is on the grass
Rain will never come to pass"
when the stars begin to huddle
The earth will soon become puddle"
1.-THE higher the clouds, the finer the
weather.
Except as regards the thin, wispy, cirrus
CLOUDS, the highest OIL all, COuC6TuluS WHICH
proverbial lore with reason declares:
"Mackerel scales and mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails"
'"Trace in the sky the painters brush,
The winds around you soon will rush
Scientific Endorsement again is given by
DR.. Humphreys in other well-known wind
proverbs:
when the smoke goes west,
GUIDE weather is past;
When the smoke goes east
GUIDE weather comes neist."
THE wind in the west !
Suits everyone best
"a veering wind, fair weather;
backing wind foul weather.
In every instance the scientific data vail
dating the accepted proverbs are given The
temptation to restate them here is strong
But space limitations forbid.
