 Morton drew out q pen and on the back of an envelope wrote the names the girls gave him, as one by one they moved away from the piano.
 It was more than an hour before the last of the girls had undergone her test and disappeared.

 Morton passed 1t to him. and Abe counted it. There was pleasure fin his face as he rolled 1t again, and thrust it In his own pocket.
 "lll go out right away, and hire a church choir and a couple of Sun day school superlntendents," he proposed, cheerfully.

 They entered the room where the piano stood. It was larger than the other offices, and the center of the pine floor had been relaid with pol ished hardwood.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 There arc two fundamental prin- cipies in anti-malarial work which must be understood and accepted, as upon them are based the measures 10 be adopted for the pre- yontion of malaria. First, malaria is contracted through the bite Of q special mosquito. Second, q man who has malaria infects the mos. qrito and the mosquito in turn in feCts man.
 These conditions absolutely eS- clude air. water and food as being methods by which malaria may be contracted. The mosquito is not matched with the malaria germs but 10 get them she must frs. bite tn" person who has malarial germs ill hia blood.
 Malaria is q disease due to germ which lives in the red corppsc!es c; the blood of man. The germ Is n microscopic animal. unlike the germs which cause typhoid fev"r' and tuberculosis. which are voge- tables. Tho life of the malaria germ requires different conditions for It's existence and continuance from that of other germs.
 The chain of life of the malaria garm fig: Man--to-Mosquito--to- Man. To prevent malaria we must, therefore, break the chain. In order to avoid the bite Of mosquito 1t is necessary to possess q knowledge of .he life and habit; of the mosquito responsible for transmitting malaria.
 Tho malaria bearing mosquito r.,allv hltcs at dusk or twilight. or .ouIctimcs between the hours or 4,u.sat and sunrise. T. will also bite if hungrv. in q dark Hnd shady nIarc during inc day, but th" most usral timn is about sunset. Malaria is particularly menace 10 the former and there are two measures rasv for him 70 adopt that will give protection from maiarial moSQui- tcce The bedroom may be screened; rrcfcrablv tAc whole house, and r.oynui,o bars can ho used: the '~tter measure gives only partial protection.
 In screening the house, care should ua taken 10 scre"n the entire houS". Every window and door should b" light and windows should bH entirely screencd and not half way nor screened with telescope screens.

Soon he was drumming again, Then oc- cGsonally Mrs. Grouse joined him for a very little while. What about that new home we wore going to haye"" demanded Thunderer.
 "Wo have it," replied Mrs. Grouse demurely. I've have it and there are ten eggs in it."
 Where is it?" demanded Thun- dcrer, To ting very much surprised, "I want 10 see it."
 But Mrs. Grouse shook her head, Its a secret" said she.
 You shouldn't have secrets from mo- declared Thunderer speaking very importantly.
 Jnst then d distant sound caught his attention and he turned to look in inc direction from which il had come. His head was turned for only an instant. but in that instant Mrs. Grouse had disappeared. Quietly she had slipped away, taking care not to rustic as much as one dry leaf, and which way she had gone Thun- dercr hadn't the least idea. It made hi. quite angry for q minute. But hc was soon over it, for the most important thing in life 10 him was drumming just then.
 Now Mrs. Grouse had not gone far, In fact. she was almost within sight from that drumming log. That nest vas built against another old log when Mrs. Grouse was sitting on those fggs she was so much the color Of the dead brown leaves all about her that even Thundtrer him. self might have looked right at her without seeing her. II was well chosen place. Mrs. Grousa suspected that no one would think 10 look there for it. because 1t was so near Thundcrer's drumming log. At the same time. there was a great ad- vantage in il, because now. if an onnmy should appear, Thundercr would br likcly to be within easy calling distance. So, once more Mrs. Grouse was happy and no longer mourned for the old home that had becn broken np by Gingneck the | Pheasant.
