 Mother Calms Down
 I imagine that the genuine note of concern in my voice pacihed her as much as did my words, At any rate her eyes softencd, the angry flush receded from her face, and her voice was mild when she an- swered:
 q don't know what 10 think. I've been afraid you don't suppose that Steve has been 10 him, do you?"
 There was fear in her eyes, the unreasoning terror which the thought or mention of the tramp who had called her Mother" brought there.
 Indeed mo-" l hastcnod to as- sure her. Don't you know your son well enough to realize that he would be furiously angry over any thing like that instead of worried? The man who calls himself Steve would be the one to worry in that case"
 "Ycs, l know" she sighed. But Richard would be terribly humil- ated nevertheless. Oh, Margaret" she clutched at my dress con- vulsively. Tomorrow Is the day you set for Steve to come out here and get the rest of that hundred dol lars. How are you going to man. age 1t with Richard here?"
 Her body was fairly shaking with nervous fear, her tbIn fingers twin ing themselves together, her eyes burning their question into mine. She evidently had forgotten her worry over Dicky's behavior, al- though l was afraid this other ter TOT was much worse for her.
 "1'll manage it, never fear" l as- serted with far more confidence than I felt. My husbands presence at the farmhouse was sure to ham, per me materially in my plan 10 meet and foil the blackmailing tramp who had so terrorized my mother-in-law. And you're mis- taken about his getting the rest of that hundred dollars. He'll have to prove that he's the man he says he is before I hand him over another cent"
 She was still standing close to me, with her hand cutching at my dress but at my last words she stepped back as if she wished 10 get better vision of my face.
 "What do you mean?" she fal- tered. Not Steve? Of course heHj Steve. l remember his face as well - as well - as If it were Rich ards"

 If you please, fierce, wild cou- gar" Raggedy Andy said to the cougar cook, twill you put me in the pot first!"
 Certainty" the cougar cook agreed. T intended doing that any way, because it was you who fooled us with the magic wiener wursts,' So he stuffed Raggedy Andy right into the large pot of boiling water. And before the three fierce. wild cougars could jump back out of the way, Raggedy Andy took his hands and spIashed the boiling water upon them. My How they howled as they ran out of the door. Then Raggody Andy climbed out of the pot and taking Raggedy Anu,s hand, ran around the house and in the bushes while the three fierce wild cougars were down at the brook putting blue clay upon the places where the boiling water had drenched them.
 "Thcy win not got any beef stew touiEht,' Ragecdy Andy laughed. And l got a nice hot bath"
 And you look real nice and cloan!" Raggedy Andy chuckled.

 Ruth, dear, whenever l think of happily married people l think of you and Walter. And If l remem- Der right dear you were not de- lirlously in love with him. In fact, for a long time you were not sure that you would marry him at all.
 You mustn't let your honeymoon wane' dear, for if you do l shall think there Is something in the makeup of the modern man and woman that prevents them living together in peace and contentment aiter the ceremony Of marriage has been performed over them.
 Until you were married. my own father and mother had always been the example 10 which pointed with pride, Usually someone when I spoke of them, said, with a super cllious smile that my parents were of an older generation and that they did not point moral, however much they might adorn my tale.
 With you and Walter 1t is entirely different and as long as you, my friends, my very dear friends, stay like you are-deyoted to each other - will not despair. Somehow, somewhere, sometime, shall hope that Jack and I will come 10 the place of perfect understanding and entering in, will find contentment supreme.

Lack of Blood Causes Painting

Many have an incorrect idea of the cause of fainting, Mrs. Mann learned.
 Painting is caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain, instead of too much.

 The sitting position is very dan gerous. People have died simply because the head was not lower than the feet.

BIG FIRE AT SHENANDOAH. Va

The huge 500-bsrrel plant of the
Shenandoah Milling Company is in
ruins. and half block on the oppo-
site side of the street swept clear of
buildings as a result of a disatrous
early morning fire Monday at Shen-
andoah, Va. Property valued in ex-
cess of $150,000 was destroyed in the
most costly conflagration in the Nor
folk and Western Railroad towns
history. The damage is covered by
insurance. How the flames started
is mystery.
Originating about 80 O'clock in
the middle of the western side of the
big mill, which occupies the bluff ov-
erlooking the n & w. tracks. just
south of the railway station. The
flames were blown across Front
street and before a stiff breeze sub
sided the garages of Huffman Broth
trs and of the milling company, a
dwelling house owned by Mrs. Elsie
Kite, of Harrisonburg, and Bowers

ern, or upper side of Front street

VIRGINIA LOSES LUKE. ZOO
POUND LINEMAN

University, Va, September 3d.
Gloom spread like blanket over the
University Of Virginia when the news
leaked out that Luke. the 200 pound
tackle. had been carried off the grid
iron with serious fracture during
the last scrimmage in preparation for
the Hampden-Sidney game.
Luke, who seemed certain to be Sc
lected to fill the position left vacant
by the failure of Havman to return to
college, was playing tackle opposite
Holland with the varsity regulars.
He was rushed to the hospital. An
X-ray photograph was taken. and be-
fore the practice was over news was
brought back that Luke would have
to be in cast for at least six weeks,
and that he would be out of the game
for the season.
Luke is the-third member Of the un
defeated first-year team Of 1924 and
the second tackle to be wearings a
cast as the result of an injury receiv-
ed before the opening contest.
Woods, a guard was the first to go
down, and exactly week ago SYM
ington was put on clutches probably
for two months.
The loss of both Luke and Syming-
ton has seriously crippled the Virgin
ia line. Holland can look after one
tackle position, and if he keeps up
his good work, Tyler will be able to
take care of the other.
But should the ink that has knock
ed out the two Younger candidates
light on the trail of the other men
the line will be in a woeful state.
Mr.. VIM. Luke, is the youngest
son Of DIR. and Mrs. J. L. Luke of
Charles Town and was selected to
start the game with Hampden Sid
ney College on Saturday 20.
