Jimmy Skunk.
 ''1 was brought here In a great Man Bird,' replicI Danny and told Jimmy Skunk what had happened. Jimmy knew what the great Man Bird was, for he often had seen air planes and had learned to know that they were not 10 be feared; that they were man-made and not real birds.
 Are you going to stay?" asked Jimmy,
 T don't know" replied Danny. q don't know as it is safe to stay"
 "Oh, it's l 2rfectly safe" replied Jimmy T won't hurt you. If you have never been to the seashore, there is a lot 10 see here"
 - would like to see it." replied Danny. "I know all about the Green Meadows, but I don't know anything about the seashore. That is why l am afraid You see. I won't know what 10 be afraid of or what en- emies to watch out for'
 "Oh," replioG Jimmy, "just you stay near me and you won't have anything to be fraid of" He spoke quite confidently. He spoke just as Jimmy Skunk back on the Green Meadows always spoke. It was clear to Danny that this Jimmy was just as Independent as the other Jimmy. T guess it runs in the family" thought he. Aloud, he said, Aren't there any Hawks here?"
 "Oh, there's one now and then. ." replied Jimmy carelessly,
 And aren't there any Owls here 9"
 "I suppose so. but they don't bother me" replied Jimmy.
 "I don't suppose there are any Foxes" said Danny in an anxious sounding voice.
 Why of course there are" re- piled Jimmy Skunk. You don't suppose that with such good living as can be found along the seashoro there would Q no Foxes, do you? But as I said before, don't worry. Just you keep along with me and there will be nothing 10 fear"
 "rhank you" squeaked Danny. But inside he felt anything but sure that there was nothing to fear. Copyright, 1926, by T. W. Burgcss)

EVEN MAMIE SUSPECTS

As we drew up in front of Mamie's the whole house was dark, land I wondered if she had gone out. i didn't want to talk even with Mamie yet, although l might ask i her help later. let myself in quietly and went directly 10 my room, where before I ! slept I had made a reckless plan to help Joan out.
 "Wel, l don't know whether it is criminal blackmail or not" said to myself, but l am going 10 get that money from Mir. Robinson for hi, daughter, II would be hers in a week or two anyway"
 l sometimes wonder if that is not the way many people argue with l themselves when they do things that they know are not exactly right. If they put it over they know the result will be all right. It is the methods they pursue which might mean dis grace and punishment if they are not successful.
 The next morning fate was with me.
 Before I was up, Mamie brought me In the morning paper. There was more or less sensational ac- 'count of the death of Miss Cleaver lat the Morton department store. The paper said she was dead before she arrived at the hospital
 Although suicide was not even hinted at. I was sure that I could read between the lines and l knew that if the fatal bottle had been found there would have been a .great scandal. As yet there had been mo post mortem.
 Mamie looked rather disapproving las she pointed to the story.
 Judy" she said, isn't this the woman whose name gossip has link ed with that of Mir. Robinsons for years"
 q believe so, Mamie" l answered composedly. although I really knew nothing about it until yesterday when one of the girls told me some thing to the effect that Robinson had grown tired Of her and was try ing to break up the affair.""
 Mamie looked rather mortified.
 'Is it possible, Judy, that you went out with him after you knew that? Everyone will think that he has be come infatuated with you. Oh, hope your name will not come into it."
 q don't think it will. Mamie. And besides I didn't 30 out with Mir. Robinson"
 Mamie looked at me very sternly. Were you not in the Robinson car when you called to me-"
 "Yes, but I was alone, Mamie" said reproachfully, T don't believe I would suspect you even if things spoke more eloquently against you even than did a Rolls-Royce car with a Robinson monogram on the door panel"

 When she again asked mc that question, again that fantastic idea came into my head.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
GUARDING PUBLIC HEALTH
BY DIR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health SeryiCe).


 Public Health SeryiCe).
 In a preceding article you were told how easy it is for water 10 be- come contaminated with such dead | ly disease germs as those of typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery, how milk may be contaminated by wash ing the milk cans in contaminated water, and be the carrier of such diseases as diphthcria, scarlet fever and septic sore throat.
 How does your health department protect you from the dangers of dis ease germs which thus may have been accidentally introduced into water and milk? In the first place. an endeayor is always made to ob- tain water which is free from the possibility of pollution by human beings.
 At present it is almost impossible to get such water for large cities. Much of the water we drink today was a few days ago most foully pol luted and dangerous. What is done 10 purify unsafe water? Briefly, the process carried out in the case of badly polluted water are as follows;
 A Coagulant is added in measured quantities sufficient to throw down the greater part of the suspended solids and yet leave none of the coagulant in solution.
 This process renders the water fairly clear and gets rid of a large number Of germs. The water is next rapidly filtered through sand and gravel
 It comes out of the filter tanks clear as crystal. but still may con- tain deadly disease germs. In order 10 destroy these. very small mea- surcd quantity of chlorine is added 10 the water as it is fed into the main trunk pipe. This renders the water perfectly safe
 All of these processes are neces- sary if the water contains much suspended material or is badly pol mtcd. There are variations of these processes but the one l have out lined is typical.

Danny Finds He Has Neighbor

Danny Finds He Has Neighbor
 By Thornton ". Burgess Who doesn't like his neighbors may If he desire; move away.
 Old Mother Nature.
 This is perhaps easier done by the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest than by hu- man folks. It is q privilege that they all have. Yet, strangely enough, often they do not take advantage of 1t. Even when they have dangerous neighbors they will remain rather than move. You see, in many of these little people there is a love of home surroundings so great that it will even overcome fear.
 When Danny Meadow Mouse dis covered that he had a neighbor un- der the bathhouse at the seashore where he had hidden he was startl- ed. Foolishly he had spoken aloud. He had said, "There must be q lot to see here" and a voice had re- piled, There is" It was bad enough to be startled, but it was worse 10 discover who the speaker was. It was a Skunk. Yes, sir. it was a Skunk. It wasn't Jimmy Skunk, whom Danny had known back at Farmer Browns, for this one was nearly all black. Danny saw this in the first hurried glance. He scurried across to the farther side for he knew that plump Meadow Mouse is sometimes enjoyed by members of the Skunk family. Who are you?" he squeaked,
 I'm Jimmy Skunk" replied his neighbor.
 You're not either" sQueaked Danny. "I left Jimmy Skunk back at Farmer Browns, and he has a big, white stripe down the middle of his boe-."
 That's all right" replied the stranger 1ood-naturcdly. I'm Jim my Skunk just the same I may not be the Jimmy you know, but I'm Jimmy just the same. Anyway. that Is what people call me. Who are you and where did you come from ."
 I'm Danny Meadow Mouse and came from the Green Meadows" re- piled Danny

Dr. Meredith Reveals His Nife's
 Poison Plot
 There was but one other person in the room, seemingly in the house. 9 Dicky said, continuing his story of Lucia Meredith's suicide and the strange summons which Hal Mere dith had given him, That was the physician, Dr. Wintner, a high-class chap, evidently the family praction- CT and a friend as well. The room showed the frantic efforts to re- vive Mrs. Meredith, and Meredith hurried me through it to an eXquis- itely appointed sitting room, ''- Dicky's artist soul patently had paid tribute to the beauty Of that room even in the stress of the terrible thing which had brought him there -"shutting the door behind us, Then he motioned me to a chair, and slumped into another one. l never saw a man so done up in my life"
 Dicky stopped for long minute, and l knew he was yisuaIizing again the tragedy into which he had drawn.
 'I'n just try to give you as nearly I can a stenographic record Of the conversation" he said. When Meredith got himself together. he started talking as if he'd been wound up and set going. He'd never said a word Of greeting when ] came in. just motioned me 10 follow him upstairs. Outside the door where his wife lay he muttered, My wife just killed herself, poison. She's Tn here I suppose he had some idea cf not startling me. But he did not speak again until after he had sat opposite me staring through me for what seemed eight cen or nineteen years of eternity. began to be afraid he'd gone off his nut when he finally opened his mouth.
 'T Must Apologize to You"
 Graham he said, T must apologize for bringing you into this, but I could see no other way suppose your wife has told you that mine was suffering from a disease which was incurable, and that she was doomed to a painful illness and lingering death.'
