 But Rusty and Betty saw things from a younger viewpoint and a weaker philosophy of life. Joyous youth singing in their hearts shrank back appalled, when the dark shad- ow of war struck across the thresh- hold of their home. Patriotism, they were willing to admit, was a grand and noble attribute, but when pa triotism reached out its hand and collared their pal Jim, then-well then it was a war horse of an en- tirely different color

attainments and fascinating person. ality were concerned. But when I put upon the scales Hugh Grant lands dashing bravery, his wide knowledge of almost every land un- der the sun, his zest for adventure, but above all his royal heart and his high principles, they far out weighed the attractions of the other man.
 Veritzen Furnishes Madge
 MT. Neritzen himself unwittingly helped this comparison, for his be- havior after his unexpected meeting with me when I was starting for the luncheon with Hugh Grantland could only be compared to that of sulky schoolboy trying to get even for some fancied slight. When I en- tered his office the next day for the conference" upon which he had placed such stress, I found him in a very lofty mood indeed.
 An! good morning, Mrs. Gra- ham," he said with perfect courtesy but Trapped voice. T am sorry not to be able to give you any time to- day. I find that am altogether too busy. We shall have 10 put off the conference until next week And will you kindly take this home with you and go over it carefully. asking yourself the questions I have marked? It really is not up to your usual standard. You need not come into the office until the conference day. have outlined the things I wish you to do. Good-day."
 ] took my dismissal and my de- parture with outward composure. but inward fury, which later changed to amusement, as for weeks he kept up sort of captious nagging of my work with never a hint at the old comradeship nor a single arrange ment of the luncheons he before had managed so frequently. That he was punishing me for my temerity in daring to put my engageme ent with Hugh Grantland before his re- quest that I change my conference appointment, l we'll knew, and was thankful that his resentment was no greater than was betrayed by the little annoyance he heaped upon me.

Could anything be more charming this wisp of fluttering grace, this youthful affair of deep purple chif- ion ablaze with a myriad of rhine stones? In line. fabric and trim ming. 1t is delightfully."- expressive of both the new elegance and the cur | rent insistence on a certain amount of sophistication.
 Cleaning lines of tiny hrilliants outline the neck-line. which is un- expectedly high in back and cut in a shallow bateau effect in front. Rhinestones are also used to edge the engaging short cape in back and to form the wide girdle. The only other trimming is two large chiffon roses at the waist-line in | front.
 The skirt of this delightful cre- | ation reveals two outstanding fea- lures of the new evening mode - the use of tiers and the continu- ance of the uneven hem-lne. This skirt is circular, twotiered and open in front. It also is short in the center front, sloping down to d slightly longer line in back.
 Tiny brilliants trim the neck line and form the girdle on this purple chiffon evening gown. The circular skirt Is tiered and finished with a godet in the center front.

It was a week before Sammy Jay again saw Reddy Fox going through that queer performance of Jumping on the snow crust and then digging. This time Reddy was in the Green Forest. Sammy kept his tongue still, thing he can do very successfully when he wants to, and. keeping out of Reddy's sight, followed along.
 Just as Reddy had done out on the Green Meadows the other day he was now doing. He would cock his ears as if listening, then steal forward. jump way up In the air. come down with his feet all bunch- ed together hard on the crust, break it, and dig frantically. Then he would pop up with a disappoint- ed look on his face, blow the snow out of his nose, shake it out of his fur, and go on.
 am going to stay right here" said Sammy to himself, until l find out what this means. Reddy isn't doing that for fun. He does some things for fun, but he isn't doing that for fun. A little patience, Sam my, a little patience, and you'll find out all about it."

Phillip Veritzen Applies His Own
 System of Punishment

I do not believe there is a char acter in fiction so appealing to wo- men as that of Sydney Carton. The idea of a mans loving a woman so selflessly that he is willing to die to insure her happiness without the shadow of a hope that she ever will belong to him, is especially appeal ing to that sex, which knows that men capable of such self-sacrifice or such folly. according to the standpoint from which one looks al il, are rare as the traditional white blackbirds.
 But Hugh Grantland's wild rodo- rontade. and his protestations that he would die to give me happiness, fingered with me for many days after he had driven me home from our lupcheon at the country inn, and our memorable interview upon the banks of the little sylvan stream along which we had walked after our meal.
 His protestations l knew were not tilooC oI eii tNih PNSNNcet'iy romantic man. Hugh Grantland had proved his selfless devotion to me through the years of our ac- quaintance by many acts of sacrifice both large and small. If ever man could be counted as sincere, it was he, and knew, subtly, that he was not speaking idly when he said that he gladly would give up his life for me. He had risked it more than once in the past years.
 Madge Compares the Men
 The meeting with him had one curious effect upon me. I began to compare him as man with Philip Veritzen, weighing them both with the scales of my knowledge and my intuition. It was a process which hardly knew I was using. but it had tho result of checking for little the fascinated interest in Philip Verit- zen which had been increasingly mine ever since my entrance into his employ.
 The famous theatrical magnate had all the better of the comparison where quickness of perception, keen ness of artistic intuition, scholarly

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 Most of the troubles of the early months when child is to be born are the result of the absorption by the body of the mother of certain by-products Of the developing child.
 Associated with this absorption of poisons Is an upset stomach, produc- ing a morning nausea sometimes so severe as to produce definite illness.
 Headache often Is a symptom, es- pecially if there is nausea without the relief afforded by election of the mucus in the stomach. The nausea may come on in waves and make the patient feel dizzy. especially when there is no food in the stomach.
 Causes of Nausea
 Under such conditions, women fre- quently lose their interest in food and develop unusual food cravings. Sometimes certain odors will excite the most severe nausea and the woman will develop an antipathy to the odor of tobacco, of fish. of per fumes. or other substances for which she has previously had no disgust.
 Sometimes associated with this, there Is an unusually large amount of saliva which tends naturally to emphasize the disturbance. In many instances the mother will feel better Sth yft1 n D1,1yn some dry toast before getting up in the morning.
 Her loss of appetite should not be permitted to interfere with the de- velopment of the child or her own body. It is normal for her to gain some weight during the early months of the process.
 It Is necessary for her to have definite amounts of specific food substances in order to protect her of the child. The old saying. For every child a tooth," arose from the experiences associated with im- proper nutrition during the process of the child's development.
 Glands Grow
 Among other early symptoms are an increase in the size of the breast, due to the development of glands so that the mother may nurse the baby.
 As the condition develops. there is usually a gradual accomm odation of the system to unusual irritations.
 The wise woman, as soon as she discovers these early signs, will put herself under the care of a com- potent physician, beth for her own sake and that of the prospective child.

to keep down the sobs that kept coming up in her throat. Rusty lay as still as a mouse in Jims arms, and he stopped once to look In her face. thinking she had fainted. But her eyes were open. She said never a word.
 The time Jim had made with his scoot cart getting out to the woods was improved on considerably in getting back to town, where Rusty was turned over to old Doc Palmer, now well past sixty, the same old twins into the world on that wild October night more than seventeen years ago.
 The doctor gave the snake bite his undivided attention for some fifteen minutes, frowning when he saw the bits of gunpowder embedded in the girls flesh. Hmm, have to watch that" But he turned to Jim with a smile. You did just the right thing, Jim." To Rusty he said, How do you feel now? Does it hurt pretty bad?"
 It did, Rusty informed him.
 Well, If Jim had waited to get you here first you'd have had a mighty sore leg by this time and been awful sick at the tummy"
 Rusty was able to laugh. in spite of the pain in her leg, and to kiss Jim.
 That evening in the Elwell home after the excitement had died down and Rusty was resting on the sofa, Jim turned to Betty with little grin.
 "Well, kiddo," he said i've didn't shoot any farmers calf today but we shot calf just the same. didn't we?"

who needed patience. If Sammy had but known, Reddy was giving a beautiful example of patience and persistence. Had he not been both patient and persistent he would have given up after one or two disap- pointments. But no one knows bet ter than does Reddy Fox the value of both patience and persistence. Without them Reddy would have starved to death long since. There are times, especially in winter, when patience and persistence are all that will fill an empty stomach. No one knows 1t better than does Reddy Fox. Ever since he was a little fellow Reddy had been train ing himself to be patient and per sistent.
 Now, Reddy was hungry this morning. He was very hungry. It was nothing new. At this time of year Reddy was hungry most of the time. It was very seldom that he had his stomach really filled. But this particular morning Reddy was unusually hungry. This snow crust made hard hunting For a whole week he had had hard hunting You see Reddy lived very large | ly on mice, and now these nice were quite safe with the crust above | them. They were quite safe. but not wholly safe.
 I'll get one if I keep at it long enough" Reddy kept saying ovel and over 10 himself. Yes, sir, IT get on. This crust is bad for me 1 but it would be worse if it was SC hard I couldn't break it.

 Reddy suddenly jumped high 1T the air and down he came on tha crust and broke through It seem as if those four feet of his began to fly even beforesthey hit the snow For a minute Sammy Jay couldn' see Reddy, he was so hidden by th' cloud of snow he was throwing out Then he stopped digging.

Patience and persistence hat been rewarded.
 But Reddy wasn't the only one whose patience and persistence had been rewarded. Sammy Jay had his reward. He had found out what he wanted to know. He had found out what Reddy Fox jumped on the crust for. He was hunting mice down below. Sammy's curiosity was satisfied and he had gained in knowledge.
 "Reddy Is smarter than I thought he was" said Sammy. Which was a very great compliment. because Sammy had always considered Red dy Fox very smart indeed.
