Red Cross First Aid
Popular in America
As Accidents Gain

EBE7gl4G gF'
The rapidly mounting toll from
traffic accidents has brought home TO
the public the necessity of being pre-
pared to render prompt assistance
while awaiting the doctor During the
past year $50 chapters OF the Amerl-
can Red Cross were instruct1ng
classes in First Aid, and in the same
period certificates were issued TO
2C,6O1 persons qualified by Red Cross
experts.
Many cities throughout the United
States are showing interest in secur-
ing first aid instruction for their po-
lice and fire department personnel,
and through the work of local chap
ters, practical results have been OBJ
tanned in such cities as Washington,
D. c.; Toledo, O.; Boston, Mass;
South Bend and Indianapolis, Ind;
Port Arthur, Texas, and other commu-
mites. In cooperation with the State
authorities. intensive training in first
aid and rescue methods has been
given to State police and constabulary
members at four State training
schools.
Instruction in these subjects In
public and private schools, colleges
and universities has increased during
the year. Attention has been given to
. raining teachers at institutes and
81 ummer schools.

CHAPTER VII

Midwinter had come before Brena
saw Compton Parmalee again. He
sent for her two days after Christ
mas; he asked if she could come to
his office.
The call had come over the tele-
phone to the store where she WAS still
employed and Brena answered that
she would try to leave an hour earlier
than usual so that she could come at
four.
Winter dusk had begun to settle
over the city before she was shown
into the brokers' office by a stenog-
rapher, who, never having seen a
woman caller before, raised her eye
brows as she closed the door after
the entrance of this beautiful stranger.
Through the great plate glass win
dows of the luxurious office Brena
could see the flaming sunset in the
west and against it, in dark outline.
the figure of Parmalee who had risen
as she had come in.
With a gesture of gallantry he took
her furs from her and put them across
tlC willie pdDSlS vi Ills dtSh. anu
when she sat down he touched these
furs caressingly for several moments.
He might have been thrusting his
chances at her, but she could not tell.
Dusk had entered the office, too, and
he became only a figure OF two dimen-
sions, without thickness, from which
after a moment there came a voice
which Brena scarcely recognized, so
weary was it and yet so unrelaxed and
tense
You are sure that all you told me
was accurate" he said.
She needed no explanation she said
at once. "Of course" in a tone of in
dignation.

just one more thing. Did he leave a
paper with your"

She was silent.

that you have never heard of anything

Brena sat down.
Did you ever hear of a man who
had made a final killing-who a year
ago was juggling riches and insolv-
ency in one hand and success and fail
ure in the other, wanting to talk about
himself to an eighteen-year-old or

Wisdom in This AdUice

Allow no mar to be so free with you
as to praise you to your face. Your
vanity by this means will want its
food. At the same time your passion
for esteem will be more fully gratifed;
men will praise you in their actions /;
where'you now receive IL compliment,
you Will then receive twenty cisilties.-

Mrs. WIlkie often mentioned the
journey TO st. Louis. She would have
given Brena a weeks board TO know
why the girl had gone, but ever Mrs.
Wnkie sensed some quality in this
beautiful child which made her a crea-
ture of a different species and filled
others with d sense of awe from which
only Jim Hennepin had been exempt;
she never pressed her questions be-
yond a point where she found her
self looking into the wondering, dark
Selcoss eyes. Brena kept her own
knowledge without an effort it was
done with a magnificent restraint and
with the suggestion that she who until
that year had ~navigated life not at
all would hereafter navigate it for a
long time without another's hand upon
the tiller.
Brena even asked twice whether
Hennepin had written She chose mo-
ments when the two other women
bOarders and the accountant of the
Southern Pacific were at the table.
Written y said Mrs. Wilkie, puck
ering her little mouth as if she were
going to whistle her sentence. writ
ten? Not he! But l might expect
that; 1 have never found that could
expect gratitude-from anybody"
She looked at each face at the table
severely.
But that's nothing" she added.
His own father, who is dying of
Bright's, hasn't heard from him-not
for three months"
oh" said Brena as if rejecting
and weighing the matter. She left the
table, and going into the front room,
she played in lively time Upon the
piano there-a piano with a sheeny
red case and with a ton intended to
be the startling opposite of the tin-pan
attributes of old pianos. This n had
tones extravagantly round like the
softness of an elocutionist reading
poetry. Brena had remembered this
piano and described its affectation. 1t
was nothing to her that those who
heard her play on 1t said. ooh She
makes it talk" for they were the same
persons who said, what beautiful
flowers! They're like wax"
Brena at the piano that evening felt
as she always felt. that she was alone
in the world-the friend of certain
dogs and cats which lived in houses
along the way home from work. She
had grown accustomed to this loneli-
ness and was nearly convinced sub
consciously that it would go on for
ever. Within sight there was nothing
which might break into it and she
had no pangs because of that. She
set her face toward tomorrows. She
might have been expected, therefore,
to be startled when the past broke
In upon her.
II came in the form Of Compton
Parmalee.
Brena had been writing in her hot
room under the roof. 1t was still hot,
although the Texas fall had come and
from her shapely young arms with
their cream-colored skin, had been
bending over her little table trying to
set down in the form of a written
drama the story of the n other girl
who worked now in the Porto Rican
Embroidery store. The story was not
dramatic a story as it may have
appeared to Brena at seventeen. Nor
could Brena have written a play be
cause she had no knowledge whatever
Of the craft Of writing plays, which
later found out is a matter of
ID i1Iod oornou+ry and NOT insured as
8rena had conceived il. Fer all OF
his she now asks to be forgiven, since
