Madgc Makes q Sudden
 Resolution

I was glad that Dicky could not see my face as ho carried on his telephone conversation with Edith Fairfax. It was hard enough to keep from crying out in impotent, foolish anger without attempting 10 control my facial muscles at the same time.
 But by the time he had finished. and an unconscionably long period it seemed, l was able 10 present an apparently placid countonance 10 his gaze.
 "Ede will be right over," he said turning from the telephone. you'd better hurry and get ready so that you won't keep her waiting. Her time Is valuable now
 Something clicked In my brain. and time rolled backward for me 10 the years before my marriage when my hours and minutes were also valuable--whcn I held a high and respected position In the city's corps Of high school teachers. Now, l said 10 myself savagely, l was that per son least considered from an econo- mtc standpoint of any human be- ing--the wife and mother.
 I knew that in the days gone by Dicky would have ranked my men tality and the value of my time as far above that of Edith Fairfax, the ambitious girl whose artistic attain ments, or lack Of them, were the nffectionate despair of her friends. Yet now he was perceptibly fussins for fear I might delay Edith in the apartment inspection expedition 10 which he had committed both Of us'
 Yet there had been no change in either Edith or myself as far as our natural equipment of mind went But she had been free to develop the small ability she had and to discover new and unsuspected powers within herself. while I-suddenly ] realized how clrcumscribed my life had been since my marriage. Mentally l transposed Kiplng's famous couplet'
 and murmured to myself:
 "Dovn 10 Gehenna, or up to the
 Throne,
 She travels the fastest who travels alone

 Dicky's voice sounded distinct note of irritation. "1 should think it would be enough for Ede to give up her time to run over to the drive with you. without your vast ing IL for her.

 Those who are entrusted with the care Of a considerable number of children find that anxiety lest one of the contagious diseases break out among their charges is one of the principal cares which beset them.
 Although some Of these chil- dren's diseases are usually mild there Is mono that may not bs se- rlous. At one time i' was thought that measles and whooping cough wore relatively unimportan' dis eases. Now it Is generally known that these two contagious diseases common to children are frequently serious in their results.
 The prevention o' these con- tagious diseases lies largely in the avoidance Of contact with the in lection. In order 10 carry out this prevention it is necessary to isolate cases from the rest of the children on the appearance of the very first symptoms of the disease and therc- fore it is necessary for those who take care of children to observe keenly any slight indisposition which may be the earliest sign Of 1 trouble.

T don't know, but we'll get right out of here" replied Nanny. Any where else is better than here with Shadow the Weasel about"
 But, badly scared as he was. Dan- ny wasn't quite ready to give up that nice home and the comfort of liv- ing in that big barn. Well wait q while" said he. well first make sure that Shadow is staying here. It may be that he has just run in here and that he doesn't intend to stay. In that case we might run right into him outside We ought to know what he is going to do before we will decide what we will do." This was common sense and Nanny admitted it. So they decided to stay until they could be quite cer- tain that Shadow the Weasel really meant to make the big barn his hunting ground. But you may be sure they didn't go running about as they had been in the habit of doing. They left their snug nest only far enough to be able to keep watch for glimpse of Shadow. They didn't intend 10 leave any scent for Sha- dow's geen little nose to find and follow up. For two days and nights they slept little and ate less. h. stead they spent most of their time worrying and watching. They caught one or two glimpses of Shadow.
 But if their eyes told them little, their ears told them much. The Rats Tn that barn were having a terrible time. They heard the Rats squealing with fear by night and by day. They heard the frightened scampering of little feet. and Danny and Nanny knew just what it meant. They knew that Shadow the Weasel had not left that barn. but was staying there to hunt Rats. So it was that at last Danny and Nanny made up their minds.
 The sooner we go the better, said Nanny. Shadow will stay here until there are no Rats left He will look into every possible hiding place to mako sure that not q Rat is left, If we are here he'll find us. The time to go is while the going is good and it never will be better than right now"
 Yes, my dear" squeaked Danny meekly. T guess you are right When shall we start?"
 Didn't l say right now?" replied Nanny.
 Yes. my dear" replied Danny And they started.

"Hornsby had a bad playing sea-
son last year." he said. I'VE were
willing to pay him $4,000 for next

over and see if he was worth $780,
900 as q player and $4,000 addi-
tional as manager.

to pay $50,000 each of these two
years to Hornsby, when he might
