 "Tha'a the par, Of 1t which shows her absolute malice" Katherine said, "l am positive that no one at the hospital ever connected Herbert Pettits name with mine in any other way than the undcniable fact that he likes 10 have me on his cases"
 "Hc shares that odd prcdloction, l believe with several other physi- clans" l intcrposel dryly, and she flushed at the comment.
 "But how did this woman know Of your being herc?" l qucricd. "Is she an intimate of yours?"
 Never saw her but twice In my lifc," Katherine responded, But Il triend of hers happened to be a pa tient in the hospital this summer, so you see l know where Jack got his misnformation.'
 The muscles of her face began to twitch, and if my brother-co cousin had been within reach, l felt that I could have stranglod him. To think that so stanch-hearted and loyal wife as Katherine, who had stood by Jack through the long and dcprcs- sing period of his conyalcsccnce from his war injuries, should be sui fcring like this because of his arch aiC ideas concerning q woman hav- ing any economic freedom whatever, and his credulity toward an unscru- pulous woman.
 Suddenly my angry sympathy boil cd over, l knew that I was doing q most unwisc thing, but I could not restrain my speech, nor did l make any effort to do so.
 Katherine" l said slowly, do you know that you do not need 10 endure Jacks unreasoning unkind- ness any longer, if you do not wish to. Life holds something very allur- ing for you if you wish to take it?'
 She put hand 10 her heart in stinctively and caught her breath the color draining from her face.
 What do you - mean?" she asked.
 T mean" l answered slowly, de- l!berately that there is man who has loved you all his life, one who is an unhappy in his marriage as you are in yours. His wife would welcome her freedom, and"
 She put up her hand protcstingly but l saw that her cheeks were fam ing and her eyes starry.

 Her voice died away under my steady gaze.
 "Oh! yes you do," l said. You know very well I am talking about Hal Merodth,"

he couldn't think what had awaken a noise of some kind. So he almost held his breath as he listened with all his might At first he heard noth- ing unusual Then he heard the sound Of something being dragged right past that old log in which he was hidden. Very cautiously Peter pccpud out. Paddy the Beaver was dragging q freshly cut young alder over to that newly begun dam. Peter almost doubted his eyes. There he had been all the night before watch ing and waiting for Paddy, and Pad GE hadn't appeared at all. Now, here in broad daylight. was Paddy work ing as only he or member of his family can work.
 Peter poked his head out. There was the sound of another small ald- CT falling. He looked in the direction of the sound and there he saw Mrs Paddy. A few minutes later he dis covered one of the young beavers dragging some brush. Peter scrambl- ed out of that hollow log.
 Hi, Paddy" he cried. What arc you doing over here in broad day light"
 Paddy, having placed the young alder on the new dam just to suit him, and seen to it that it was firm ly hold, grinned at Pcter T might ask tFe same thing of you, Peter Rabbit" said he.
 Peter grinned. That is true" said he. 'l am here because l didn't dare ! go home. l was here all night, and , when daylight came 1 thought .ht WiSeSt thing and the safest thing tc i do would be 10 stay right here, SC ! here l am. But l thought you work. i ed only at night. You didn't work last night. At least you didn't work over here, for l was keeping watch Why didn't you? And why are you here in daylight when you should 1 be at home?"
 Why should be at home?" Pad dy asked.
 Well, because you should" re. piled Peter rather lamely. It was you will admit, no answer at all.
 "Why should r." persisted Paddy
 Because you're afraid to be out in the daytime. At least that is what l always have understood" replied Peter.
 Paddy chuckled. "A lot of people understand the same thing" said he Perhaps it is just as we'll they do Some folks have an idea that wt beavers cannot see very well in day. light and that is why We work al night. l hope they will keep or thinking so. A mistake like that i, a good thing for us, for 1t makes il easier to get our work done. We car see just as well in daylight as d night, and we like to work by day when there are none of our wors enemies about, those two-legget creatures called men. It is to keeI out of their sight that we work SC much at night. Did you see Yowlel the Bob Cat last night?"

Madgc Tells Katherine the Plain
 Imarnishcd Truth.

I stared at Katherine as blankly ns II she had been messenger from the stars telling me that the world was coming to an end within an hour. Indeed a part of my girlhood world was crashing around mo. Jack Bickett, my brother cousin, no mat ter what hls other faults, or draw backs Of temperament, had always seemed 10 me q very Sir Gaahad It was Impossible that the malicious gossip of woman actuated by an infatua,ion for him could have so affected his attitude toward his wife as 10 inspire such an epistle as Kath- erine had just given me. Yet knew my cousins wife 10 be the sanest of women.
 Katherine answered my bewlder- cd look with q quick disclaimer.
 "Oh! l don't mean that Jack is in love with her-yct," she said. But you know him as well as l do. Hes as blind as q bat where women are concerned. and she's playing her NN' Ho 'Ni1 pAiI Nhiss [As lllt HAoNNI Of his comrade down there, she has the opportunity 10 write long chatty, sympathetic letters, not to him, of course, but to her brother and l can imagine the charmingly casual man ner in which she told her brother of my doing the hospital work un- der Dr. Petit, and Of the rumor that l was favored above the other rurses because of the doctors in fatuation for me. She, of course, made 1t all the veriest jest, and her brother who is as densely masculine as my husband, took it as a joke, and of course, read 1t to Jack"
 She was dangerously near 10 tears. and l knew that her pride would be cruelty hurt should she be unable 10 keep them back. I snatched at the first diversion avidly.
 "Queer that l never noticed Her bie's mad passion for you" I said demurely. But of course, one never knows what seething emotions are concealed beneath that prim physi- ognOmy. 1Ou may remember that ] once locked him In a root cellar to cool off a jealous murderous rage of his.'

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, U. S. Public
 Health Service

There is probably no one who is not familiar in some degree with ! the sensation known as pain. , Pain may be defined as a peculiar, | a particular, sensat'an occurring in an animal body. This sensation may range in intensity from q slight un- iplcasantness to extreme distress or torture.
 The symptom proceeds from q derangrmcnt of some vital function; from disease or from an injury caused by violence.
 Briefly stated, pain is q signal, q sign of something wrong. It is q special sense provided by nature for the preservation and protection of the individual and the race. 1t is a healthy reaction of the mind 10 in jury,
 There are number of interest . ing facts concerning pain which are fairly well known but inadeuuatcly appreciated.
 For instance, many women stand Ipain much more uncomplainingly than most men. It is also known that the pain sense is most acute during carly adult life. Present liv- ing and working conditions render man more liable to injury and like wise 10 pain than formerly. Pain is not in itself a disease but the recognition of n disease by the mind. Thus, toothacho is usually an indication of a decayed or an in IfCCtcd tooth. Not only should prompt relief be sought of a com potent dentist, but similar occur. rcnccs should be guarded against Regular periodical visits 10 the den. list before the pain signal is flashed is the wise procedure.
 The pains of indigestion are warn ings against the use Of impropc, food and the practice of hurried eating. Occasionally such plans ar, Iforcbodngs of more serious mala dies. The signal is one that can no be disrcgard"d. When correct fooC habits fail to relieve such pains promptly, skilled examination ant treatment is indicated, Self drug ginE only serves 70 afford tcmporar! relief and to obscure the obviousl! important pain signals.
 Headaches are often protest Iagainst ovcr-indulycnce in food anc drink. They may be due 10 ey, strain or 10 other causes. Headache in some cases may he an indication of grave and serious Condition-e, E brain tumor, optic nerve disease pernicious anacmia and other dis eases. The red signal is flashing brightly for those who are afflictc, with headaches. Even the pain o sunburn, as comparatively trivial a it may seem. is a warning agains too sudden and prolonged eXposur of the skin 10 strong sunlight,
 There are many dangerous Condi itions in which pain is either entire fly absent or present 10 such an in significant extent as 10 be entirel, misleading. Thus, there are some times lightning like attacks of ap pendiciiis devoid of pain, increase, temperature or elevated pulse rate though this is not the rule. Tuber culosis is frequently without pain The pain signals may be lacking il a very malignant case of diphtheria

 Barbara was silent,

 The slowly but surely growth adenoid tissJc, shutting off th child's nasal breathing, seldom give pain signal. Yet the damage i' extensive. However, it is probabi that fully 90 per cent of all disease begin with pain or have pain as { prominent symptom at some time during their course.
 Interruptions persons have long fostered the idea that pain always means serious disease. Consc- qucntly it has been possible fol such persons 10 sell expensive, un- necessary and frequently harmful preparations to those in need of ra. tional treatment. The power Of sug. gostion is such that many persons develop imaginary pains or com, plaints after reading advertisements or skilllully worded qucstionHtires As q result improper advice and worthless treatment have beer known 10 be given while the true condition continued, undiagnosed unabatod, though possibly obscurcd and unrclcTcd.
 Pain is one Of inc most important of natures devices for warning mcr that their physical and mental cqui- lihrium has been disturbed. Pair compels attention and is therefore prophylactic in character. Whcr continuous, this sensation is a chal. lcngc 10 thorough and competent in. yestigation.
