promptly sat up with his long ears pointed straight up to the sky. What was that?" said he.
 Peter shook his head. "1 don't know" he replied. T heard 1t once before. It seemed to come from back of us."
 They both turned and stared at the old stump. It was a big stump and 1t was too tall for them to jump up on. As they sat there staring at 1t they heard the noise again, and this time they knew where it came from. It came from inside thai stump. There was no doubt about 1t. You should have seen them scurrying away. But they only went short distance, then turned and stared at the stump.
 That stump must be hollow" /" whispered Peter. That stump must be hollow and there Is somebody in- side it. Who do you suppose it can be-"
 "I haven't the least idea" replied Jumper.
 At that very instant something happened which gave Peter and Jumper such a fright that they couldn't move. Without any warn- ing at all a great bird with bald, red head appeared on the edge of that old stump. It was or Mrs, Buzzard herself. She had jumped up there from inside the hollow. Good mo'ning. neighbors," said she. Aren't you going to congratulate me?"
 What for?" asked Peter when he could find his tongue.
 "on two of the finest babies in all the Great World" replied Mrs, Buzzard proudly, as she turned and looked down inside that big stump.
 Peter looked at Jumper and Jun per looked at Peter and such a funny look as there was on the face of each.
 Isis your nest inside that stump" Peter venturcd.
 Nah home is. Ah don't know as you would call 1t a nest. but An done laid two eggs in there and now An done got two of the finest babie, in all the Great World" said Mrs BuZzard.
 Peter began to laugh. It came over him that 1t was all a great joke on Jumper and himself. Day after day they had sat there close to Mrs Buzzard's secret and never once had guessed it.

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY;

Peter Lyster has lost his memory from shell shock la France. Upon his return to London he falls to recognize
 Nan Marraby, to whom he be- came engaged before going 10 the front. Nan has since gone home to care for her three motherless step brothers. She Is still in touch, how ever, with her friend
 Joan Endicott in London, whose husband has just returned to the battle front. Joan has told Nan that she ought to forget Peter and en- courage the love of his friend and fellow officer.
 John Arnott, with whom Peter Is resting at the home of Arnotts widowed sister, not far from the Marraby estate. Nan Is jealous Of Arnott's sister and disgusted with the advances of
 who first met Nan through Peter prior 10 his departure for France. Pete does not remember Sefton. who insists that Nan must marry him or face the consequences of having both Peter and her father brought to account for large sums of money which he says they owe him. Nan has been encouraged, by her father, to marry Sefton. In her fathers absence Peter calls 10 see Nan. He has previous 1 ly surprised Sefton in the act of forcing his kisses upon Nan. and now insists that sefton Is not worthy of Nan. Peter is about to leave when he turns 10 ask Nan whether she is one of the people he knew before he lost his memory NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY There was something so pathetic | in the question that in an instant Mans heart melted. The motherli- ness which is the best part of the love all women bear to man rose uppermost in her heart She forgot everything but her pity for him. i You imagine these things" she said gently. It's because you know there are some things you have forgotten that you are always dreading to come across them" She tried to smile.
 Tt must be ages since T started to clear away the tea" she said briskly. Are you going to help me-"
 It was q daring challenge to her self; a mighty effort to get back to the normal.
 Peter agreed at once he picked Up pile of plates and followed her to the kitchen: he joked with the , surprised little maid there; when the last cup had been carried out he looked at Nan laughingly.
 "f shall apply for the job of bat man if I'm no good for anything else" he said.
 Mans eyes grew startled.
 But but you won't ever have 10 go back?" she said quickly.
 His face sobered.
 l I'm hoping to -- I'm tired Of being on the shelf already. At the present moment I am going about looking for some kind friend who will give me a tremendous shock" he said banterlngly. "They told me before I came home that a shock might give me back what a shock had taken away. . ." He stifed sigh. I'm not very san guine though. I must admit"
 Don't think about it." Nan an- swcred hurriedly. And now ] am going to turn you out. Mrs. Mears will be angry with me for keeping

What Is Soothing in Fanny powells Twisted Brain

At Katherine's gesture of defeat, stepped back from the bed where Fanny Powell lay, either In stu- DOT or a clever feigning Of sleep, and beckoned the little nurse 10 accompany me out of the room. She obeyed my nolseless summons, and as she passed the electric lamp put out her hand with the palpa- hle intention of switching off the light. With q swift movement ] caught her hand and forestalled the gesture, and when the door was safely closed between us and Katherlne's troublesome patient l explained.
 If she Is really asleep, that steady glaro in her eyes will wake her up after awhile" said, "and she will, no doubt call you. If she is .felgning she will be so annoyed by 1t that after a while she will risk turning over, figuring we will think 1t a natural reaction to the light. If she is in stupor, you will hsve to decide what would hap fen - 1 am not nurse enough for that"
 ."1f she is In s stupor she will re- main In exactly the same position" Katherine replied. But l am sure il. isn't stupor. If 1t is, then I have wasted several years of pro- fessionsl training. On the other Hand. I never saw anybody who was perfectly healthy sleep so soundly."
 I smiled at the remembrance of ono or two experiences I had had with Katie. Usually, my little maid is awake before anyone else in the house, but occasionally when she has been up unusually late the task of rousing her has been a most hectic one.
 "I Think She Is Feigning"
 You evidently never tried get ting Katie up when she had over slept" I smiled.
 Then you think this girl is sleeping naturally" Katherine cnuntered. K
 No. don't" I said bluntly. '1 think she is teigning deep slumber either out of desire to annoy us or from some more dangerous mo- tive"
 "I am glad you agree with me- my friend said reIieyedly. Did you notice when flashed on the light that she never blinked at all?'
 That is my chief reason for be- lieving she is feigning," I said quietly. Now there is but one thing to consider. How clever is she?"

With the calendar year drawing to
Il close, the Public Utilities Commission
within the next two months Will he
gin a study of the earnings OF the

tcrmine whether there is to be a re-
duction in electric light rates for next

+ When the commission and the corr
pany last January settled the sever
year controversy over the valuation
and rates of the power company IT
was agreed that the company should
be allowed 4 return of Tl2 per cent on

other provision OF the agreement was
that II In any year the COMPANY
earned more than IL -. per cent re
turn half of the excess amount would
go to the company and the other half
would DC absorbed by :: reduction In
prices.
Reports filed with the commission
for the first eight months Of this year

is earning more than the .12 per cent
return on valuation. While less than

ing to maintain peace at the price of

offenses. This fear is becoming more
or less general, even among thought
full men.
The reported intention of our Gov

lay provokes the general opinion that
any delayed action on our part will
lose much of it's moral effect by tardi-
ness.
The tone OF the less responsible
press is tone of open ridicule. The
tone of the best papers shows sur
prise at what they regard as an un-
fortunate delay and n restrained fear
lest the United States delay too long.
Several men in official life have eX-
