part of 1t he looked sometimes as if he had wrapped 1t right around his head. He combed out his fur. To do this he used the little hook on the top of each wing. These two little hooks made very good little combs. Mrs. Filter did the same thing. When they had finished they yawned two or thre times and then, hanging heads down, they went to sleep.
 About an hour later they were awakened by the excited chattering of their neighbors the Barn Swal- lows. They opened their eyes just in time to see the last of the Swsl- lows dart out of the open window. and they were darting right straight into bar of golden sunshine. The rain was over.
 'It isn't often that envy any one," saueaked Filter 10 Mrs. Fit ter, but just now do envy those swallows"
 Why" squeaked Mrs, Filter.
 "Recause they don't need to wait until dusk before hunting for some thing to eat" replied Filter. If it wasn't so very bright out there I would be tempted to go out myself. However, it will be good hunting after jolly, round, bright Mir. Sun goes to bed. and at last we will be sure of full stomachs. On the strength of that 1 am going to take another nap"
 So the Bat family went back to sleep again, but you may be sure that, just as soon as 1t was dark enough they were out. In fact, they went out just about the time the Swallow family came In to go to he'd for the night.

 At Atlantic City she meets Her bert Waterbury and ban Sprague through u divorcee. Mrs. Carlotta t'rolking. Both men pay suit to May, greatly 10 the distress Of Car lotta who has long been in love with Dan, She and May become great friends, however, and Carlota asks May to spend the winter with her in her California home,
 May finds Dan much more attrac- tive than Waterbury. But she de- cides that Waterbury Is the rich husband she is looking for and sets her cap for him. When Waterbury proposes she accepts him, and turns over all her money to him to invest UT utl' LIZ lIlllleuldlclS llSt ppcdIS, and the money along with him!

When Filter the Bat laft Peter Rabbit he very quickly disappeared. You remember 1t was raining and Filter was in hurry to get home. Peter wondered where that home was, He hadn't the least idea where Filter the Bat lived He would have been considerably surprised if he had followed Filter and seen where he went.
 Straight over to Farmer Browns flew Filter. He flew across the harnyard straight to Farmer Browns big barn. Way up in the gable window was open. Filter flew straight through that open win- dow Into the barn. High up, in a dark corner Filter hung himself up by the heels to a rafter.
 What lucky" squeaked 8 very squeaky voice. It was the voice of Mrs, I'litter, who already was hang ing there to that same rafter.
 No luck. No luck at all" squeaked Filter. What luck did you have, my dead?"
 None, my dear" replied she, and gave a funny little sigh. q never was more hungry. And the young sters are no better off than we are. They both gave up before I did and were here before I got home. Put we are not the only ones in trouble. MT. and Mrs. Forktail have had very little better luck than we have. I have been listening to them over there on their rafter. It is a lucky thing that their babies are big enough to look out for themselves, Just listen to them chatter"
 Filter listened. Mir. and Mrs Forktail the Barn Swallows and their four children were sitting on a rafter only few feet away and the children were complaining. Finally their father lost patience. "Stor your whining" said he sharply "Weather is something we have tt take as 1t comes. It isn't pleasant

 her
 A week later May was back at work for the first time in ten years. Through Dan sprague she found a Iob, selling real estate,
 To put 1t mildly, she hated it.
 She hated the musty little office of "Harker and Harker, Real Estate Agents" She hated to crank up the firms little car, and take pros pectivo buyers out to look at acres and acres of prune trees,
 But most of all sho hated MT. | HnrLer. Senior.
 There was MT. Harker. Junior, too q pleasant youth who blushed every time May looked at him. And so she looked at him great deal. It amused her to see him blush,
 But the elder Mir. Harker was no joke. He was man of fifty-fiNe or whereabouts. with a red complexion and bulging brown eyes.
 While he talked to May of leases and mortgages, those eyes slid over her in the most evil way.
 Now. then. Mrs, Seymour we'll take up the question of that Jones ranch" he would say, looking as if he wanted 10 take her in his arms and kiss her with his wet thick lips. And May would shudder in- wardly and try 10 appear business like.
 One day the inevitable occurred. May had come in from lunch, and had hardly seated herself at the l desk when the figure of Mir. Harker plotted the sunlight from the open door of the office.
 "Ah you here!" he said in a gloat- ing voice, rubbing the palms of his large hands together.
 "Yesl' said May with forced cheerfulness. She sprang up from the desk and damned her little felt hat down upon her head. And just going ."
 She did not want to be there in the office with him.
 She tried 10 push past him, hut Mr, Hawker blocked her path by the simple method of throwing his huge arms across the doorway.
 May looked at him with astonish- ment in her eyes. But she was not astonished. Not at all. She had ) known that something like this would happen, all along. Please let me by, Mr. Harker," she rapped out sharply
 But, with a sudden adroit move , ment, Harker had pushed the door shut, and stood within the room, alone with her. ) What do you think you're doing acting in the movies?" May asked pertly. But her voice shook. For the first time in her life she was afraid of Mr, Harker Gro Be Continued)

LETTER FROM MABEL CARTER TO JOSEPH DOWNEY--
 CONTINITEn

Now, Joe, will never have 9 chance to get even with anybody. I have no money at all; I spent my last twenty-five cents yesterday noon for coffee and sinkers. l couldn't get away if l wanted to. You have left me flat.
 I ought to have known better than to have trusted you, Joe. l have been gypped by so many crooks that I should never have trusted another one again. But the don was old, Joe, and knew if I married him my life affair of any kind again. You meant adventure to me, Joey. and I deter mined to have one last glad fling well, I've had it.
 Now, in tears and in curses at my folly, I am wishing as probably every other sinner since Eve has wished, that I had never done this terrible thin. Don Sparta was at least gentleman, a man of honor, and he would have cared for me as IOnE as ] llNe0,
 What fool I've been. Joe, I eE- pected 10 leave you Rs soon as I got mN~hslf of the jewels. but I've only succeeded in finding myself alone and starving, Beside, I'm frightened all the time, I don't dare 10 go out anywhere, am go afraid that some one will nab mo. I'm sure Jimmie recognized me the other day
 Please, Joe, even if you don't care for me any more, give em enough money to go hack 10 South America. If the old don isn't dead. I still may be able 10 make myself n home No more adventure for me-Im tired of all this crookedncss. I'm tired ot vengeance, I'm fired of thrills, l

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
How states Should Fight
 Tuberculosis By DR. HUGH s. CUMMING

Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service
 State and local governments can aid materially in the fight against the spread of tuberculosis by insist ing upon compulsory notification of cases to the health authorities as soon as the disease is recognized.
 This reporting is of vital impor- tance for the location and control of the sources of infection and for the protection of the family and others The health authorities, apart from distributing printed directions for the use of the family of the patient as regards the care and dislntecuon of sputum and the avoidance or droplet infection, should also resort to disinfection of the home and per sonal effects especially in case the patient dies or leaves the premises
 Provision should be made for drinking fountains or individual drinking cups and for suitable cus- pidors and their disinfection in all public buildings.
 The public should not cultivate an exaggerated fear Of tuberculosis but has right to insnst upon clean and descent precautions.
 The sanitary condition of hotels lodging houses, theaters, churches and schools, the ambulance and pas senger service, should De under the control of the health department.
 House cleaning should be accom- plished as far as practicable by the vacuum system, and mechanica' cleaning, including thorough scrub ping,
 Marriage with a tuberculous per son should be discouraged. A tuberculous mother should not nurse or kiss her infant.
 A certificate of health should al. ways be demanded whenever the SC lection of a wet nurse is necessary and for all persons employed in the care of young children, including nursery maids and teachers. Use Separate Eating Utensils.
 II is not necessary to send a pa ticnt to a great distance for sana. torium care.
 It would be as easy for 8 tuher' culous patient 10 find a hospital a' for man with q broken leg or ap pendicitis,
 Any properly regulated hospita easily prevents the transmission O tuberculosis or any other diseas' from one patient to another.
 All tuberculous patients should spend enough time in sanitoria tt be thoroughly trained in the car' and protection Of themselves ant others.
 A patient remaining at hom' should at least occupy a separate room and use separate drinking ant should at least occupy a separat' room and use separate drinking ant eating utensils. Young childrel should never be allowed to enter hi room.
 Tuberculosis dsnensaries shoult he established in all cities and town and in convenient places for rura areas. The object of these dispen saries is the recognition of earl, cases with a view to prompt treat mont.

Upon enter ing I found her as l expected, husily engaged in supervising Katie In the cleaning of her room. Both women stopped their activities at my en- trance and looked at me with such nneaningful mystery that l almost spoiled the success of my own ruse with laugh.

 He appealed to Serena Smith, who had been watching the little drama With bored eyes.
 "Oh, blah, There are twenty di- rectors every bit as good as Micky." she snapped at him. Last time he made picture for you, you lost a fortune on it."
 q know, l know" Fishhack said,
 But think of Sand Dunes! Three years old, and still going good ."
 May did not wait to hear the end of the argument. She slipped away, and started on foot down the dusty road that led to Los Altos.
 The way back to Carlotta's bun galow was q lone one, but May was grateful for every foot of il. It gave her time to pull herself to- gcther, to think up a plausible story to tell 10 Carlotta. To admit to her that shc had been turned down, " without even a trial would be too humiliating!
 Let's see she'd have to tell her that Fiehback had tried. d.o make love to her, or some such yarn as i that Carlotta would undoubtedly not only believe it, but be thrilled by if,
 She found the bungalow locked, and note from Carlotta fastened 10 the wire netting of the screen door.

 May groped in the mail box fol the key. There were several let ters in it, and she pulled them out One of them was addressed to her fl handwriting that she knew! At thu very sight Of 1t, Mays heart gave queer little leap. It was Ulysse' Forgan's handwriting.
