complication that has come into my life. You know that when l mar ried Dick and came out here l came into an entirely new environment. I have just become used to Ii. have just realized the point where 1 have a feeling that it has broaden ed my mind and enlarged my life's horizon and now it is all going 10 be changed again. This will prob ably sound as strange to you, Les lie, as your words sounded 10 me when you told me you were expect ing a child and were most happy about 1t.
 Most people seem to think that I am one of those mother-women who are always unhappy unless they have a baby in their arms. On the contrary, l look upon mother hood with the greatest of dread. In the first place l am almost sure that giving birth to a child will kill me. You probably do not know un- less Sally has told you that l can- not bear pain. The aching of a tooth has been known 10 drive me into convulsions. l know it is silly but 1t isa physical failing which l cannot overcome. Even to think of great pain makes me faint.

Tt will not be right for us to go away and leave Tooiie shut up in- side his tree! Think how we would like it if someone would nail sticks over our windows so We could never, never get out. Toofe will get very, very hungry and, us he has always been mean little fellow, l do not believe anyone will visit his tree home and put food through the sticks 10 him"
 At this, the tired carpenter be- gan crying, for he was very tender hearted.
 "Oh. dear!" he sobbed, What shall we do? If we run away and leave him. Toofe will grow very thin and hungry. If we return and let him out, he will work his magic on us, What shall we do?"

 "You Must Rest"
 Her voice was growing fainter, and Katherine motioned me i'm pcrativcly back from the bed,
 She shall tell you everything, I promise it," she said authoritative ly, but you must rest now"
 She had her own fingers upon Iillian's pulse now, kept them there firmly, while shc, by sheer force of will kept our stubborn friend from the exertion which we both knew might cost her very life. l think she was as relieved as ] when the physicians returned. ] saw them both glance at Lillian keenly, then at each other, and Dr. Meredith nodded. pr. Petit advanced to the bed, bent watchfully over Lillian and gestured Katherine to Dr. Mer- edith. l could not hear his low voiced instruction, but Katherine swiftly prepared hypodermic and administered 1t. Then we all waited silently, tensely, until the stimulant had had it's effect, when Dr. Petit spoke with solemn emphasis;
 Mrs. Underwood, do you wish to live until your daughter is a woman capable of battling against the world alone?"
 Lillian gazed back at him with no hint of her usual flippancy.
 "Yes," she said simply.
 Then you must obey me abso- lutely. Your heart is - bad - don't mean hopelessly involved, but so seriously that you risk almost certain death If you are not willing to obey my instructions. Dr. Mere dith, I may add, agrees with me absolutely in my finding. But you must obey me, absolutely.

very hard.
 Maybe, if we take a lot of bis- cults spread with apple butter to oId Toohc, he will feel so grateful he will promise not 10 bother Us again with his magic!"
 "Then let's take a lot of biscuits back to TooHo!" the tired carpenter said. And maybe he will do as you say, Raggedy Ann"
 So the three friends buttercd lot of the cold biscuits with the apple butter from the apple butter mud puddle and ran back to Too- tics tree home.
 Sure enough, there they found inc queer little man pulling at the sticks the carpenter had nailed across the knot hola window and bowling ever so loudly.
 All about the tree trunk home or Toofic, the little woodland creatures had gathered 10 see what was the trouble, but they did not offer to help Toufe because they know he was a mean little fellow and often tried 10 harm them.
 "Wc have come back to help you, Tooiic." Raegcdy Ann said as she handed Toode q biscuit through his narrod window. Toone was very glad 10 get it. for he was very, very hungry. One is, you know, just after awakening from a long nap. Did you bring any more bis cults, Raggedy Ann?" Toohe asked "Oh yes, Toohc'" Raggcdy Ann said. But if we lct you out of yonI homo, you will puff your magic powder upon us and change us into toad stools or something" Not if you give me a lot Of the nice biscuits, Eaggedy Ann" Tooflt 1 promised.

The Ultmatum Dr. Petit Gave
 Lillian,

The Ultmatum Dr, Petit Gave 10
 Lillian.
 As Dr. Petit proceeded with his questioning of Lillian, Katherine slipped quietly to my side, and, un- seen by either Of the physicians, put her hand into mine, pressing 1t firmly, I guessed that she was seek ing comfort as welt as giving it. Kathcrinc's affection for Lillian is nearly as strong as my own, and l was afraid that her professional knowledge gave her even more specific cause for fear than l had. With sudden terror l remembered pr, Pcttits absence from the room after lIc had tested Iillian's heart, lungs and blood pressure. What had he told the nurse during that brief absence" My hand gave a conyul- siye clasp upon Katherine's, and ehc slipped a stcadying, comforting arm around mo.
 The questioning went on, swift, skinful, rcmorsclcss in its severity, laying open all the sins Of neglect which Lillian had been piling up against her strength in the time since her terrible illness. And when 1t had ended, Katherine and I did not need the speech of either phy- scian to give us the verdict which we already knew must be inevitable.
 Dr. Meredith had listened silent lv for the most part interjeCting only two questions, but those such pertinent and important ones that I gave Katherine's hand compre- hending significant grip upon hear ing them. And when the questioning had finished, I saw the specialist with a slight lifting of his eye brows, summon his colleague to a conference outside the room.
 Lillian Disobeys
 Make her comfortable" pr, Pet tit said to Katherine, as he turned away. We shall return in a few minutes. Don't let her talk"
 Lillian waited only unul the uooF was closed behind them to disobey his injunction.
 Its no use, Katherine" she said. You needn't frown at me. l know I've only a few minutes be- fore those gifted gentlemen put the hobbies on me for the rest of my life. I don't know what their yer dict Is yet, so l haven't any con- science about obeying them until l do know.

During teeth cutting time chil- dren sometimes have conVuislons and throw their mothers into fits oL alarm.
 The child is rigid for a moment, with fixed eyes, clenched hands and contracted face. Physicians say that the child should be placed in a hot bath as quickly as possible, a table spoon of mustard being added 10 the water
 A cloth wrung out of cold water should be wrapped around the head and changed as it becomes warm.
 After the child is immersed he should be lifted out wrapped in a blanket and left to sleep.
 If there is another conNulsion, the bath should be repeated.

Sometimes relief may be ob- taincd by placing the child into cold water and then rubbing vigor- ously.
 There is no cause for immediate alarm if the mother will keep her presence of mind and follow these directions.
 However, doctor should be called to determine the possible cause and 10 look for a remedy for this cause.

 My Dear Leslie: It has been such a long time since we have ex- changed letters that I have forgot ten whether you owe me one or whether I am in your debt. It doesn't matter, however, one way or the other. You and are too good and too old friends not to write one another when we have anything to say.

by Experts to Be in

BY SID MERCER
international News Service Special
CORRESPONDENT

Al rainy day in world series
must be bridged by the baseball ex-
perts with chain OF facts. figures
and speculatioIis designed to tit the
space ordinarily required for game
descriptions. The Senator's and
Pirates ran into a washout and the
experts thereupon spent the entire
dav in solemn elaboration over the
effects OF the postponement.
A poll Of the trained observers
who congregated at press head.
quarters at the Raleigh disclosed a
strong belief that the schedule inter-
Washington club. It isanew possible
for Walter johnson to pitch the
fourth game, and. il necessary, the
seventh.
Assuming that, Old Barney will be
as good ais he was last Wednesday
in Pittsburgh this is indeed a ire
mendous advantage for the Ameri-
can League champions. :.
Stanley Harris had announced
Alex Ferguson as a. pitcher yester-
day and the probabilities are that
he will start Ferguson today. He
could use Johnson in a. pinch. but
Sir Walter should be better after a
three-day rest.
Even II Ferguson should lose to-
day, Harris can come back with
johnson tomorrow and then, II the
series goes the limit, Barney would
be available for the deciding game.
8 There isn't much doubt that Har-
ris will follow this plan. He Is in
a better position to gamble than
McKechnIe. In the event Of Fergu-
son falling before a Pirate attack
in an early inning, johnson may
possibly be swung into the third
game.
For these reasons, yesterdays
rain was break for the Griffmen.
The series has not progressed far
enough to afford a thorough test
of the pitching. Each manager has
started his two best men and oil
four have done wen. When Harris
and McKechnie begin drawing the
names Of their pitchers out of hat
the experts will be reduced to mere
guesswork in their predictions.
