 "Whyoo!" exclaimed Danny to
 himself. Ut must be a Giant Sand piper! Yes, sir, that fellow must be
 T Giant Sandpiper! Anyway. he looks q lot like Peep and Teeter the two Sandpip rs I know, only he is ever so much bigger. his bill is 1 longer and his legs are longer and his neck is longer. l wish he would
 come down where I might have gooI look at him."
 Ii was as if the stranger had heard him. He swung around just Iahove Danny. his loL@ legs strelch- cd out behind and his long necl; and
 long bill stretched straight out in front. As he passed over Danny his
 pointed wings were set and he sail
 cd. Then he began 10 heat his wings
 again and presently once more he sailed. Two or three times he circled Iaround that mudpatch before mak- ling up his mind 10 come down. Then, with his wings set he sailed 1 down until he could drop his long i legs and touch the mud. He ran a few steps. then stopped. stretched his wings straight up above his back, and finally folding them carefully For a moment he stood there with head up, looking and listening, d picture of watchfulncss. Then. satis- fled that there was no danger he began 10 run about in the shallow water in the middle of that patch of mud. Danny suspected that he was catching tiny fish in there, and this Is exactly what he was doing.
 Al Inst the stranger came out of the water and began 10 pick up things on the mud. So at last if happened that he was very close to Danny. His legs were yellow. His neck and breast were white or gray ish heavily spotted with dark, and his back was dark spotted with white. His long bill was black As he stood in front of Danny he teetered on those long legs of his somewhat after the manner of Feet ar the Spotted Saudpiner. whom Danny had known at the Smiling Pool.
 Danny moved ever so little. h. stantlv the strangers bright eyes were fixed on him and the stranE- CTS wings were lifted just little as if for flight. "pon't go" squeaked 1 Danny "Pleasc don't Eo."
 "Who are yon?' demanded the l stranger.

Madge Decides To Keep Katherine
 In Ignorance


 l knew, of course, what had prompted this outburst Of my bus. bands against Katherine. Always beneath Dicky's genuine respect for Jack Bickctts abilities and gratitude for the time Jack strengthened out that horrible misunderstanding oi our first year of marriage and brought my hushan back to me from San Francisco, there has been stubborn dislike.
 It is rooted in Dicky's knowledge that my hrother-cousiu came back to New York a few months after my marriage in ignorance of that event, and with the purpose. cher ished for years, ot making me his wife. That he later almost forgot my very existence when he fell in love with winsome Katherine Sin not and married her made no diff ference 10 Dicky, although for both Katherines sake and mine he gen- erally keeps his feelings and his tongue under control
 But something had looscned both, and I guessed that in the awful stress of the tragedy confronting him Hal Meredith had betrayed 10 Dicky's keen eyes his great love for Katherine. IL was the sort of thing which would enlist my romance loving husbands sympathies at once, and I knew that henccforth Dicky would be an ardent aid Of the alienist in his attempt to win Katherine away from the husband who had wounded her loving heart so sorely by his coldness and his harsh. unbendne archaic ideas, to which he insisted that she conform. Don't Show That to Katherine"
 One thing in Dicly's speech pug gled me, his reference to Jacks probable feminine correspondent. He could have had no inkling of Katherine's confidence to me con- corning the woman who was writing to her husband, and l wondered if he knew something about my broth er-cousin's life which We did not. Knowing Dickys tendency to ex- travagant speech, however I decid- ed that he simply was giving rein to his fantastic imagination and gave my attention to his next sentence, of far more sober weave than its pre- decessors.

 h a preceding article there was given a chart showing the decrease in typhoid fever in the United States during recent years. Today a chart is presented showing the re- duction in tuberculosis during the stu-ls period. which is almost as Istrii5in. as the reduction in typhoid fever.
 ] Particularly is this seen to be true when it is remembered that the combating of tuberculosis offers q much greater variety of problems to 1 be considered and of obstacles 10 be overcome than does the control of typhoid f CT.
 1 There aro, no doubt, many factors l concerned in the lowering of the death rate from tuberculosis, and opinions differ somewhat as 10 the extent and influence of these fac tors.
 IL can hardly be gainsaid. how ever that pasfeurization of milk, the production of milk from tuberculin- tested COWS. anU-tubercuosis cam paigns conducted by health depart monts, and voluntary social agencies, better and more abundant food better living conditions, shorter hours Of labor and improved meth- ods Of diagnosis and treatment have contributed their share in lowering the death lie from tuberculosis.

''Tumbleweeds, in which he appears
in his we'll known role of a two-fisted,
quick e-trigger big hearted gun
man.
The story is built around an au-
thentic incident in American history.
The scenes are laid in and around
Western land known as the Chero-
kee Strip, which lay somewhere be-
tween Oklahoma and Kansas. and
which for many years was rented out
by the Indians to the cattle owners
for grazing land. Then by order of
the Government the famous strip. with
its fine virgin soil, was opened to
homesteaders. This story shows the
mad stampede of the home. seekers,
who, in any and all kinds of convey
ances, rode and drove wildly across
the plains when the signal was given
to stake their claims.
Hart is seen as Don Carver, one of
the cowboys who at first resent the
coming of the homesteaders, as it
means the loss of their fine grazing
country. However. as the plot unfolds
Don becomes an ally of these people
and helps to Illustrate n plot Matched
by two da ndieS from the East to lie mp
the portion of the land from which
the water supply Is to come. or
