 Nobody answered. Barbara's eyes wandered to the living room wind ow, but the blinds were closely drawn. The porch was bare of furni- turc but a mop leaned against tho post by tho steps.
 Lumboring footsteps within the house announced the approach Of someone Barbara braced herself and moistoncd her dry lips. The door swung open slowly, and woman appeared. With her right arm akimbo, sho glarcd at Barbara. Her hair streaked about her face and her mouth was insolent

 "I don't know" Danny whispered back. Anywhere is better than here with Shadow the Weasel about"
 Now Danny had intended to make straight for the strawstack in the barnyard and, after he reached that. decide where tosgo next But he didn't get to that strawstack. You see, he caught a glimpse of Shadow the Weasel and that was enough 10 make him turn in the opposite di- rcction. My. my, my, how he and i Nanny did run!

that they didn't pay any attention to where they were going. They had but one thought and that was to get | as far as possible from Shadow the Weasel. So 1t was that, instead of leaving the barn from the back as they had intended 10, they came to the front door. IL was open a crack. Danny slipped through with Nanny right at his heels. Danny looked around hastily. A short distance away was another great building. IL was Farmer Browns house. Danny didn't know this. but did know that usually there were hiding places un- der any big building. He didn't dare sit still in broad daylight; so he led the way across the dooryard straight 10 the back porch of Farmer Browns house. There was hole un- dor it. With a little sigh of relief he dived through that hole with Nanny at his heels. It was quite dark un- der that porch and 1t was dry and comfortable. wen stay here" whispered Danny, until we have a chance to decide what 1t is best tO do I don't believe Shadow will come over here.

 Nanny was just about to reply in
 that funny, squeaky little voice of
 hers. but instead she gave the faint
 est of gasps. Peering in at that hole
 through which they had come were
 two greenish eyes. At least, that Is
 the way they looked 10 Danny and
 Nanny. They had seen those eyes be-
 fore. They had seen them many
 times in the big barn. But in the
 hig barn those eyes didn't frighten
 them at all. Now 1t was different.
 Those were the eyes of Black Pussy the Cat. In the barn were plenty of
 places where they could hide from
 Black Pussy. Here under the porch there might be no hiding place al

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 Measles at first bears some like ness to the common cold but the child is usually sicker than would be expected. A good criterion Is the temperature of the child.
 It is important that the child shall not have taken a cool or hot drink for fifteen minutes before the thermometer is used. In the case of very young or nervous children the rectal temperature is more reliable. The thermometer should be kept in an antiseptic solution such as five per cent carbolic acid solution and be wiped off with sterile gauge be- fore using and clcansed with cold water after using
 If the temperature is over 10o.5 degrees, measles must be considered. especially If the eyes are red and watery and there is a cough. An immediate improvement of the child's condition should not be taken as pointing against measles as this improved condition Is frequently seen before the rash comes out.
 Scarlet fever also begins with fever. The first symptom Is usually sore throat or vomiting. Headache and coated tongue are also fre- quont symptoms.
 Diphtheria Is often thought Of as a severe sore throat. On the con- trary, the throat symptoms at first tend to be mildcr and the tempera- ture lower than the ordinary tonsil- its.
 Great languor and weakness, how ever. are more noticeable fin diph- theria although the pain on swallow ing may not be marked,

 There Is anoth5r form of diph- theria which is more frequent in younger than in older children. This is lnryngeal diphtheria, formerly ca IT, membranous or true croup lI.aryngral diphthoriR can be distin. guished from false croup principally by the fact that the child become; progressively worse.
