 "oh, Oh," she cried, 'I know that would come, louve heard from Aunt Harriet or that silly school.

 LiIliln's hand was over her fore head, shading her eyes as she watch cd the young girls raging In justif- cation of her acts, l had no need 10 shade my lace. Marys eyes did not turn 10 mo, They were fixed on Mrs. Underwood as if she knew the judge in whose hands her future lay. l wondered if Lillian felt the surge of long forgotten ambitions and emo- tions which I experienced, revived by the challenge of the girl before LIS.
 Do You Mind What I Did?"
 Do you know what ] did up there that they sent me home for?" she swept on. Did l lie or steal or swear, or fail 10 get my lessons or was I impcrtinent?

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
(BY DR. HUGH S. CUMMING) Surgeon General, L. $. Public

 | There are certain natural enemies of flies that deserve your considera- |rion and protection. Among these Iare lizards, toads, spiders. certain kinds of wasps and robber flies, all of which devour flies, The liz ards and toads are particularly good fly catchers.
 The enemies of the larvae are much more successful in their in roads. First place should be given both the laryal and adult forms. The to the birds. which eagerly devour scratching barnyard fowl is a worthy enemy and certain forms of beetles, and ants also feed on both larvae and pupae Of nearly all varities. On the whole. however. the natural enemies of the laryal and adult forms fail to affect an apprcciable reduction in the fly population. Also there arc diseases of the fly family.
 The most successful method of rid ding a community Of flies is 10 insti- ute and continue a campaign for that urpose. IL is only by the united efforts of all residents supplemented Iby tho support of the health de- pertinent and Civic organizations in general, that progress in fly eradica- tion is possible,
 The time of the year has an i'm portant bearing on the success Of such q movement. Ordinarily, fly nradicative campaigns are instituted 100 late in the season 10 he effective The best results are obtained if the work is begun in April.
 The United States Public Health Service wishes to recommend cer- tain eradicative measures. As long as fly-breeding areas exist 1t is al- most useless 10 undertake suppress sive measures Of other character except screening: therefore the con- itrol of fly-breeding areas is the first requisite. This means that the high ost standards of community cleanh- ness must prevail
 When 1t Is realized that even small amounts of garbage and other waste matter may serve for the develop ment of countless larvae. the im- . portance of the removal Of these can he realized.
 If you live in ,hs country you should know that the stable is the faN orite breeding places for flies,

 Jimmy gets q phone call from Olga, saying shc has found Jensen. He ruShcs 10 her apartment 10 find her gone, Her mysterious disappear. ance becomes a newspaper sensation.

He goes in side and from a darkcned hallway sees Olga, Jensen and Divis in room.

 Divis, if he had been little quicker in turning, might have seen Rand in time 10 duck the blow that vas aimed at his head with the heavy andiron knob.
 As 1t was, he was too slow. and he didn't know what hit him. Jim my brought down his crude weapon with crushing force. IL hit Divis on the head, just behind the ear. He slumpcd forward in his chair his arms sprawled grotesquely on the table, completely "out."
 Jimmy sprang to Olga's side.
 "Jim.' she brcathed. Thank God!'
 He fishcd knife out of his pocket and with swift strokes cut the cord that kept her prisoner in the chair.
 "What did they do to you?" he whispered. No, don't tell mo Yet. Wait.'
 Her head fell forward on his breast as he half lifted her to her feet. She was close 10 faintng. He eased her back into the chair, patted her wrists 10 start the sluggish cir culation, whispered in her ear:
 Olga, brace up. Pull yourself to- gether. You cant go 10 pieces just yet--not yet, Please"
 She managed to lift her head. "I'm all right, l think. But Jim, how did you get here? How did you--"
 "Sh-h-h, not now. Here" He ran swiftly and noiselessly over to Kid Divis, who was sill sprawled out across the table. Lifting him in his arms, Jimmy laid him down on the

 "I said" Lillian repeated slowly that you had the life spark in you, or I never had yet seen if. That may mean dancing, f may mean pauto- mime, may moan straight dramatic work. No one can tell yet, You're absolutely untraincd, for which Allah be praised. You won't have anything to unlearn but your own crude ideas of what constitutes dramatic art And work!

 stared at Lillian in mortified amazement, Her tones had lost the enthusiastic frinedlincss which had heen hers when Mary had finished her dance. They were cold as the river below our windows, inc only emotion expressed was q sort of weary contemptuous incrcdulity. II is not like my friend to be brutal, and I wondered If she did not realize that the child before her was almost at the point of emotional exhaustion. Then I saw that through her half closed eyes she was watching the girl intently as q scientist might watch the progress of an important experiment and I felt suddenly re- assured.
 Have You Found 1t EaSy?"
 Mary threw up her head, not defi- antly. but with the gesture Of q man on trial for his life who is permitted to plead his cause.
 "1 don't wonder. I know I shall be able to stick 1t out" she said.

 Reddy ran lightly and swiftly along, following the trail of the stranger. By and by, just ahead of him he saw and old tree trunk, and he hoped the strangers trail would lead close to that trunk. It did. It led just exactly where Reddy had hop ed it would.
 The end Of that trunk was just a few feet 10 one side. Reddy made "a long jump and lightly landed on the tree trunk. Then he ran swiftly alol g this to the other end,where- he stopped and turned to watch what would happen. In a moment Bowser the Hound came in sight, He was running with his nose to the ground, lifting it only to send his great voice rolling thl ough the Green Forest. Reddy grinned. Bowser was enjoying that hunt, That was an easy trail 10 follow and Bowser was having a thoroughly good time. So was Reddy Fox.
 Bowser reached the place where Reddy had jumped 10 the end of the fallen tree. Would Bowser miss his scent there? Reddy half held his breath as he watched. sBowser didn't hesitate second. He went right on. You see, his wonderful nose picked up the scent of the stranger, and because that was q Fox scent too he didn't miss Reddy scent, Presently he disap- peared among the trees. His voice sounded more and more. excited as he followed that trail Reddy fair i ly chuckled. He jumped down. Then what do you think he did? Why. he started along after Bowser. You see, he wanted 10 see for himself i if Bowser actually did drive this stranger out of the Green Forest. And, of course, he knew that Row. ser would never think of such a thing as turning back or looking back. It never would enter his head that Reddy Fox was following him, because he thought he was following Reddy Fox.
