wanted to look that clam over close to. So he reached out paw to pull the clans toward him up on the sand.
 What happened then happened so suddenly that for a minute or two Jimmy himself didn't know what had happened. You see, one toe slipped in the opening of the shell and the clam promptly closed the goodness, how it did pinch that toe of Jimmy Skunk's! If you could have seen him or heard him, you certainly would have thought that he was having a fit, or else had gone quite crazy. That is what Mir. Reddy Reddy Fox and he looked just like Reddy Fox. He had once lived up on the highland, but he had dis covered that it was an easier mat ter to pick up a good living along the beach. So he had moved over close to the beach and every night he went hunting along the edge of the marshes.
 He happened along just as Jimmy Skunk met with his accident. It was moonlight and he could see clearly. Jimmy Skunk was snarling and growing and acting as if he had quite lost his head, which indeed he had. That is to say, he didn't know what he was doing. You see, he was as much frightened as he was hurt, for at first he didn't realize just what had happened. He thought he had been caught in one of those dreadful steel traps, which bring so much suffering to the little people who wear fur. MT. Fox hurried over to see what 1t was all about.
 "Why, it's nothing but a clam!" said he.
 At that Jimmy Skunk stopped dancing about. He stared at that clam. It was more round than long. Jimmy tried his teeth on it. That shell was so hard that Jimmy was afraid he would break his teeth if he bit any harder. 1T didn't know what ] caught, ue sdiu Idllleis'
 Mir. Fox began to laugh. "You didn't catch anything" said he. "It caught you so far as I can sec" Then Mir. Fox, still chuckling, went off about his own business.
 Jimmy stopped dancing about and began to think. He must get rid of that clam somehow. The question was how could he do it? His toe hurt and besides he couldn't walk around dragging that clam with him. Copyright, 1926, by T. w. Burgess)

thing about clans. Now, Jimmy Skunk knew all about the clans that Danny had learned about and l su- spect that if you could have asked him what he knew about clans, he would have told you that he knew all about clans. But it doubtful if anyone knows all about anything. Jimmy found that he didn't know all about clans. He was poking around in the seaweed and looking for anything which appeared good to eat, when he found what he knew right away was a clam. It was diff ferent from the clans he was used to, but there could be no doubt that 1t was a clam. It was lying in some seaHeed in a little pool of water. It wasn't long like the clans that Jimmy was acquainted with. He noticed this right away and was in-
 terested. The shell was partly open,
 but Jimmy didn't notice this. He

What Is Disturbing Dicky's

Lillian was back at the apartment 80 early in the morning after our causeess fright over Junior that she arrived before Dicky had finished his breakfast.
 For picking violets in tn emead- aws!" he exclaimed. Hook at the little stranger who has just strayed into our midst. If anybody had asked me what you were doing at this hour, I'd have sworn on a stack of seven Bibles that you were still pounding your pillow. I never knew you to crawl out before nine before, unless there was fire or somebody dead"
 I'm a reformed woman" Lillian declared with airy pride. I'm up at five every morning now"
 Dicky looked at her with pre- ternaturally grave expression.
 You're getting old. Lil," he said sThat's what's the matter with you. Or else you're 'sickeningfor some thing as Mother would say. It's the first sign of age or illness when anybody wakens early in the morn- ing. All normal people have to be dragged out by their pajama col lars"
 Madge Resolves to Watch Lillian
 That's a new test for noramlity," Lillian commented acidly, "and you probably invented it because you knew you couldn't pass any other. Oh! thank you, Katie" as my little maid touched her on the shoulder and indicated a place which she had set at the table, time-honored practice whenever Lillian appears at meal-time. I've breakfasted, but I couldn't resist cup of your coffee If I'd just come from a barbecue"
 Katie giggled delightedly.

 "There's no use protesting" laughed before Lillian could speak. "It will break Katie's heart If you don't eat what she brings.
 Her heart will remain intact as far as I am concerned" Lillian re- torted and there was something in tangible in her intonation. an odd little expression in her eyes, ab-

 I mixed her up more than ever when she heard me order the taxi driver to go immediately to the Gen. tral Station. When we arrived there we found that we were in luck. A very gallant desk sergeant gave us the address we wanted immediately without my having to disclose our names.
 To the officer I explained that we wanted to find out where Mrs. Barry Cornwall was. that we were much shocked upon reading the news in the morning papers, for we knew that she must be in straitened cir cumstances as well as that she was going to have baby. and wanted to help her all we could.
 The officer gave us the address and VIC went directly to the place.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Puhlic Health Snruinn

| BY DR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General United States Public Health Service The degree of pain experienced does not indicate the exetent of the bodily injury or Arrangement from which one may be suffering.
 There are many dangerous condi- tions in which pain is either entirely absent or present to such an insig- nificant extent as to be entirely mis- leading.
 Thus there are sometimes light ning-like attacks of appendicitis de- void of pain, increased temperature or elevated pulse rate, though this is not the rule. Tuberculosis is fre- Quently without pain. The pain sig nal may be lacking in a very malig- nant case of diphtheria.
 The internal organs such as the stomach, heart and kidneys are poorly equipped for conveying pain signals. Therefore, in serious de- engagements of these organs pains is often lacking.
 Thus it will be seen that pain, while valuable as a signal when it lis present, may be entirely lacking in some very serious affections. How ever, it should be remembered that many diseases begin. with pain or have pain as prominent symptom at some time during their course.
 Danger Signal
 Pain is often borne patiently in the hope of early amelioration. h. stead of needing the danger signal and seeking relief at the hands of a competent physician. the individu- al continues to suffer.
 In the meantime. the disease. comparable to a slow-burning fire. makes headway and becomes more difficult to treat successfully. Then, too, many confuse pain with disease, thinking that they are well as soon as pain is relieved. This however, may be dangerous fallacy, es- pecially since it is known that some of the more serious disease are not accompanied by pain.
 Pain is a device of nature which serves as a signal or warning of a condition requiring attention. A periodical physical examination is an efficient means of discovering the presence of those diseases which are not heralded by pain.

We found poor Lela in a daze. She didn't seem to have realized as yet what happened to her.
 Lela Cornwall was hardly more than a child and my heart went out to her right away.
 Poor things" Joan whispered to me. "She and her husband were just like babes in the woods. And now that Barry is gone I don't know what Lela will do."'
 T do. my dear. Instead of mak- ing me your companion. you will make her"
 Joan looked at me startled.
 But, Judy, she doesn't know any more than l. and I want to learn"
 Neither. do know any more than you, Joan," I answered. Don't you know it is much more pleasant 10 teach some one than to be taught?"
 I went up toward the bed. Lela opened her eyes languidly.

Death Galen Stone
Noted Financier
In BrOOkline Home

Brooklne, Mass, Dec. 27.-(P)-
Ga1en L. Stone, Ga. who rose from
eportorial obscurity to financial
heights. is dead here today.
Mr.. Stone was a member and founder
of one of Bostons greatest investment
houses, Hayden. Stone & Co, which he
established more than 80 years ago
with Charles Hayden. like himself a
subordinate in a brokerage house.
Stone had been a cub reporter for
the old Commercial Bulletin, but it
was not long before he became finan-
cial editor of the Boston Advertiser
and a recognized expert.
Then he decided to learn the invest
ment situation first hand and he took
a Job with the brokerage where he
met Hayden, a graduate of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, who
had started work the year previous as
ticker boy at SO week.
Soon they were partners. The
greatest group of copper producing
companies in the world owed it's exist
ence to their financing, 1t was said,
and later they turned to steamships,
railroads and other enterprises.
Mr.. Stone was at one time or an
other director of more than 90 large
companies. He retired in 1923 to give
his time to interests philanthropic,
artistic and musical, which had always

In 1924 he presented a group of val
liable Chinese paintings to the Fogg

year $4,000 to the cause of negro ed
ucation. He was a trustee of Welles-
