my own puerile fear--and was play ing the hand led by the Oriental. l gathered my scattered faculties and braced myself to catch whatever cue he would give me.
 If youll show Mir. Endridge where the telephone Is, Madge," Lillian said, but tirst-how forget ful l am-of course you'll have to have description of this man," she turned to the government operative apologetically. Unfortunately l never saw him, and Mrs. Graham, l believe, only that once at Mrs. Ticers, but she will be able to check Lee Chow's description, no doubt. Lee Chow, tell Mir. Elderidge what this man who calls himself Dackett, looks like"
 Lee Chow bowed as if he were going to make a speech, and then recited in a monotonous voice:
 Man, not short, tall, but not yer tall, big but not yer fat, maybe hundred sixty, maybe one hundred eighty pounds, no moustache, no beard, eyes sometimes look blue, sometimes black, hair dark, no gray, think maybe put color on but not know, no can tell how old, he more than thirty, but maybe forty, maybe fifty-five, sometimes think old age, other times another. Clothes pretty good, dark soft hat. no got suit case"
 "Lct Me Have That 'Phonc!"
 guessed that Mir. Eldridge with difficulty repressed a snort at this ingenious description which might apply to dozen men upon the same train which Steve" was sup posed to have taken.
 Has he any marks?" he snapped then at Lee Chows apparently blank countenance, added an explanation.
 Sears on his hand or face?"
 The Chinese shrugged his shouI- ders faintly.
 Not on face. Maybe on hands. Lee Chow no sec" MT, Eldridge turned to me abruptly.
 Anything to add to that descrip- ton, Mrs. Graham, or any correc- tion 2"
 I pretended to consider moment.
 T think not" I said, except that do believe his hair is dyed. I am quite certain l noticed some gray in his hair the day l saw him at Mrs. Ticer's."
 He have plenty of time since then to put color on" Lee Chow said and was glad of Mir. Eldridge's gruff interruption for the Oriental's monotonous comment was laugh provoking.
 This isn't getting us anywhere, the government operative said brusquely. Now. Mrs. Graham, if you'll pleaes let me have that tele- phone, I'll be much obliged" Copyright, 1925, by Nwspaper

HIS IS OlG udy CHdptST OI lle story of "One Eye, Two Eyes, and Three Eyes" Children who save the paper dolls every day can act out the whole story with the dolls.
 That night Little Two Eyes did not eat the crusts her sisters gave her. Now, when this happened day after day and still Little Two Eyes became more plump and healthy than she had ever been before, the mother and sisters began 10 suspect something. In order to find out the truth they decided that Little One Eye should so with Two Eyes when she took the goat 10 pasture.
 Two Eyes led her sister to a grassy bank and sang to her.
 Are you awake, Little One Eye :? Are you asleep, Little One Eye?" she sang, over and over again, till finally Little One Eye fell fast asleep.
 (Here is overlooking Little One Eye, who was called that because she had only one eye and that was right in the middle of her forehead. Color her slip very light yellow, Her slippers and stockings shoud be golden and he hair brown0 Copyright, 1925. Associated Editors,

cases that receive proper care and attention, although many children succumb to the complications pro- duced by scarlet fever and 1t is often the starting point of hlonic disease of the head, cars and kid neys which latter may cause ucath in later life. It is more fatal to children under six years of age.
 Persons suffering from scarlet fever should be isolated and should not be allowed 10 communicate with other people as ,oTg as there are any discharges from the nc uth. throat, ears or otE2r parts of iEe body. The person CGrng for the pa tient should not mingle with other persons and all dishes should be scaIdod before being again used. The patient should have his own dishes. spoons. knives and forks. These dishes should be sterilized by ! washing in sCalding water. All clothing worn by the patient should l he disinfected Milk bottles should i he stcrilizcd before being returned ! 10 the milk man. These precau- i tions should be taken in the mild | est cases.
 The most careful supervision by a doctor is essential in scarlet fever.
 Remember These Points Preventive measures:
 1. Children who have had scarlet | fever must not return to school for at least six weeks.
 1 9. Children whose skin is pealng
 or whose nose or ear is dlscharging
 still have scarlet fever.
 3. Treatment by a doctor is cs- sential. The heart, kidneys and ears arc most seroiusly affected by scarlet fever and great care of the 1 patient should be taken.
 4. You should follow implicitly ] the doctors directions and nstruc- tions as to food and clothing. ,. Carcful nursing should be continued after the skin has peeled and the patient is apparently well.

 It was Busy Bee who was talking Buster saw her alight on a bit of honey-COmb In which there was still a little honey He saw her take all she could carry of that honey and fly away Then he saw other bpc- doing the same thing, They were all flying in the same direction that Eu@y E"" h?i taken. Buster guessed somehouw they had found a new home and all that bright, warm day they had been working as only bees can work, to save their precious honey. They were making the best of a bad matter, They meant to have something 10 begin the winter with. They had saved what they could and now they would work douhly hard until the ocming of frost.
 "T must mind their new home" grumbled Buster as he backed down the tree. And that shows how sell fish a person can be. Instead of be- ing glad that the bees had saved some. he was already planning to rob them again. If he could.

 in the least interested in either of hi0 "m naniOnS.
 A wave of great bitterness swept oN,t nrr soul,
 II seemed impossible that she could laugh and talk with Arnott while her very heart and soul were grovcing at Lysters feet.
 "I'ye got 10 go home, you see" she heard herself explaining flippantily. Not that want 10 exactly-Im afraid I'm not a dutiful daughter really-but. . ."
 "I.et me know where you are go- ing, and when, won't you?" Arnott asked. They were outside on the path now. and it was with rush of relief that Nan felt the cool spring anr on her burning cheeks.
 "Oh. yes, I'll let you know" she answered. lightly. Its a dreadful sleepy hollow of place where l live"
 And where is this - appalling spot" Peter asked, with ghost of smile in his eyes.
 Nan turned and looked at him. She was wondering if he would re- member the name if she spoke it.; she had told him about it so often, and her life at home and her lonely childhood. and the gladness with which she had escaped from her stepmother.
 Its a little place in Hertfordshire called Leavenden," she said, clearly. "I don't suppose you've ever heard of it, but"
 She broke off: John Arnott had given a war-whoor Of delight,
 'Leavcndcn" he said, Why, that's only two miles from my sisters place; she lives at Little Gadsen, the next village"
 There was no reflection of John Arnott's delight in Mans face.
 She had made up her mind to keep away from Peter by going 10 her own homo: and now it had turned out that her own home and Arnott'S were close together.
 You don't look very delighted, Arnott was saying ruefully.
 Nan laughed.
 "Oh, but l am," she protested. 'l shall look 10 you to amuse me when I'm bored to death with the coun- try and my three small brothers Oh. it's raining"
 A sharp spring shower was sud denly deluging the earth. Nan made dive for the doorway of the shor she had just left, followed by both men.
 Tt won't last long" she said 1 breathleSsly. April showers never last long" She was standing so close 10 Peter that their arms were touch. ing-it turned her sick for mo. ment 10 remember the last time they had been together before he went to France-even now she seemed tc feel the clasp of his arms around her-the throbbing of his heart be- meath her cheek.
 She spoke hurriedly to Arnott
 Do you think you could get mt a taxicab?"
 Arnott dashed out into the rain and Nan leaned against the doorwa! with a sudden feeling of uncontrol lable weakness,

in Los Angeles. If you had of course I would never have received a mes- sage; if you had. I should have been heartbroken to have received a mes sage. Now I have a message that you have sent me to read over and over-something I never hoped to have-and yet I haven't lost one of my illusions or dreams about you. You are still my Madonna of the Shows.
 By the way, my dear Leslie, I en. joyed my party in Los Angeles much more than I expected, for Miss Perriar, when she heard me remark that I knew you, spent the rest of the evening eulogizing you. Accord ing to her, you are a woman divinely human, and humanly divine. She says you have a sympathy as wide as want, and like the heaven above, it bends over pleading world.
 That's an exquisite way to put It. Leslie. I would have said that you had an interest in everything and everybody, and I would have added that understanding human nature so well, you know what few of Us ever will acknowledge, that no man or woman is wholly bad.
 Most of us want our heroes sans peur ct sans reproche, and almost all of us, think, want our villains to have horns and tails and a cloven l foot,
 That you do not want this, that you do not think that humanity is either wholly good or wholly bad, is perhaps your greatest charm for me. because, whether you know it or not, my dear, my reputation is. if not black, decidedly speckled. | Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Incl Tomorrow-Letter from Melville | Sartoris to Leslie Prescott.

Detective Eldrldge shows Suspicion
 of Lee Chow
 At Operative Eldrldge's repetition of his question reflecting upon the credibility of Lee Chow, Lillian opened her eyes wide and looked at him steadily for several seconds.
 @I have already told you that I vouched for him." she said. And we have no time to waste further upon anything but the one question of catching this man. Lee Chow, what time did that train leave ? Madge will you bring me a com plete time table of the Long Hand railroad7 You will find one on my desk"
 Lee Chow gave her the approxi- mate time of the departure of the train which carried "Steve." Lillian ruffled the pages of the time table until she found the schedule she wished, then made a mental calcu- lation.
 Tt hasn't reached New York yet" she said "of course he's heading for there--so you'll have a chance to get some one down to the station to catch him when he gets off. You might try Mineola and Jamaica also, on the chance that he might get the bright idea of getting off the train before it pulls into the city But I think there's no real reason for that. He can have no inkling of his being wanted by us"
 Lee Chow Describes Steve
 Mir. Eldridge's face expressed live ly incredulity of this statement, but he evidently had learned the wisdom, of silence when Lillian was laying down the law. AS for me, l wat most thankful that his eyes were upon Lillian when she was talking for her cool proposal to have a government operative meet the trair at New York, prepared to apprehend Steve" sent the traditional colo chills of melodrama into actior along my spine. If he really hat taken the train at Riverhead, which had been the original plan, he would be taken at New York, and the hor. TOT of his trial and conviction, witt its possible disgrace to the famil, would still hang over our heads Why Lillian, after so carefully sep arating herself from any knowledge of my activities in getting Steve away. should now upset all my plans I groped, bewildered, for the answer and found it suddenly in the ap parently inscrutable face of Let Chow as he gazed blandly at Opera tive Eldridge. Hal I not hac sufficient proof of the acumen ant resourcefulness of the willy Chinese to be certain that whatever was thu real story concerning "Steve's" de parture from his custody, the versior he just had given, held no vestigt of truth.

 Peter made no comment,
 How long are you going to be in here?" he asked presently

 "l don't care. but don't mind me, if you want 10 get along with Miss Marraby,"
 Rot! She'll leave us. of course. It was quite chance, running up against her" He glanced over to Nan. and asked dinidently;
 "Fine looking girl don't you think"
 Peter shrugged his shoulders.

 Leslie Prescott-Continued
 It was rather confusing to find so many of those little statuettes, when thought there were probably only five couple in the world-at least I have only known of four couple and half that have been accounted for. But they make everything nowadays by wholesale, especially in the movies; and they have such wonder full artisans! It seems that Miss Per- rier went to one of the artists that work on her lot and he made the statues first in plaster of Paris and then molded them in silver.
 It's the way of the world I expect: either the thing that fascinates you or entertains you or fillips your emo- tons is repeated so many times that all the romance is extracted from the original: or else it is touted and talked about so much that you come to regard it as very cheap.
 Do you know I am beginning to think that my quest, which l thought so full of romance, so unique-which thought had almost tinge of Sir Galahad-~is rather banal. But un- fortunately, when I once make up my mind to do a thing, it is almost impossible for me 10 unmake it. If l were never to hol dthat little jade woman in my hand, know l should have an unsatcd desire as long as l should live. So I'm going on this time. where you'll not be able to find me with letter or telegram.
 Don't think that I was not over joyed 10 get that one; but you can never write me another as you did that, for in the mean time you know how feel toward you.

 Scarlet fever Is A very contagious disease, easy to catch. but not so easy to cure. When the disease is mild 1t Is sometimes called scarlet rash, but Is none the less scarlet fever. The incubation period Is from two 10 four days.
 Scarlet fever begins with head ache, vomiting, faintness and occa- sional conyulsions, especially in children.
 The child suddenly feels tired, listless and out of sorts. The mouth and throat are deeply congested. There is rain on swallowing or talking. The skin is very dry and hot,
 The tongue is furred and under this white covering is red and swol- len. The inflammation may extend from the throat to the ears. The glands of the neck often become swollen. In ordinary cases these early signs are followed in a day or two by a rash.
 In mild cases this rash may be the first symptoms noticed. Little red points close together appear, | first on the neck and chest. These soon spread over most of the body. This rash is very brilliant 1 in color. After four or five days the skin begins to shed. Sometimes it is cast off in large flakes.
 Inflammation of many organs of the body may follow scarlet fever, There may be pneumonia. pleurisy, Liberation of the throat, abscess in the neck and inflammation of the lining membrane of the heart.
 Ncphritis or inflammation of the | kidneys frequently occurs in the second 10 the fourth week.
