say. "Of course I believe what you
tell me. but some folk like to joke,
and ! thought you might be joking
me. / did. indeed. I'm sorry. But
YOU see the idea of a fish building a
nest is so new to me that I really
couldn't believe you were in earnest
I certainly should like to see one Of
those fish nests. In fact. / cannot
think of anything that l should like
TO see more. If you should find one
of these nests. Neighbor Gull, would
you be willing to show it to me-"

I'll show you the very first one l

"Is-is-is it likely to be on the
ground. or in bushes, or where?" in
quired Reddy with little hesitancy
Crawling laughed right out. Il see
YOU are still thinking of birds, not Of
fish said he. How do YOU suppose
a fish could build in a bush? a fish
might make nest on the sand under
water but hardly would be likely to
make a nest on the ground outside Of
the water. We are talking of fish
now"
Reddy grinned. II know" said
he. "Of course. But 1t is the very
fact that we are talking Of fish that
has made it so hard TO believe that
one can make real nest. What
kind of a fish did you say makes this
nest?'
Il didn't say" replied Graywing
probably if l did say, you wouldn't
be any wiser than before. Excuse
me now. for l have an engagement. !"
Graywing spread his wings and
started off.
Don't forget that you are to show
me one of those fish nests when you
find one" barked Reddy.
Il don't believe you really believe
it vet" called Graywing.
Reddy grinned. I'm trying to-

Aftermath.

stone. He simply couldn't believe II:
Mona, exquisite Mona, so full OF
life and so fond of living. Mona. VINO
had always been capable of so many
eloquent gestures. she was too oeau-
tiful to die; it couldn't be true.
Even later, when she was carried
upstairs and laid on the bed against
the rose satin coverlet. it seemed to
Richard that she must he asleep. Her
golden lashes lay so lightly against
her cheeks that they almost seemed
10 culver. Richard felt that If he
spoke they would flutter up and she
would smile at him out of those ceru-
lean blue eyes. 1t seemed incredible
to think that he would never again
hear that high. sweet laugh of hers,
sweet even when it was directed
against him.
During all the days that followed
he went about with his face set ike
granite. If he suffered. no one knew
i And during all that time he did
not Judge Mona. He did not think or
her as the haunting, selfish woman
who had withdrawn herself from him
and his love. He remembered her as
she had been when he had first known
her, the time when he had been so
madly in love with her that he had
set her up on a PEDESTAL

appeared at the house white with
pain, his broken arm not yet set. The
boy seemed panic stricken. Great
beads Of Precipitation stood out on MS
forehead from the effort he was max
ing. and Richard had mixed him
highball and had forced him to sit
down.
II don't know what I can say to

Kingsley back from the Maltbys.

Richard realized that the boy was
at the end of his endurance and also
that he was in great need of a doctor.
I'VE won't talk any more about it

for this. An accident might happen

that in the last few weeks he had

blamed himself for it. So that if Rich.
ard held himself in hand it was neces

Barry blamed Ronny. which was
perhaps natural. But somehow Rich.
ard could not find it i'm his heart to
do this. He had never blamed Eonny
for worshiping at Mona's shrine Old
er men than he had been drawn into

faruated with her he was sure that
it was largely Mona's fault. Who
could help loving her when she wished

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
The Overweight Baby.

Mrs. S. G.. Lit is quite true that
there is just as much danger in a
child being extremely overweight as
there is in underweight, though the
dangers are not the same. Fat chill
dren are more susceptible to respira-
tory diseases. They are much less
inclined to he active than thin chill
dren, and this state of Discrimination
to move about rapidly or run and
play, which should be natural to child
hood, is not a good or healthy one.
A child of less than years who
weighs so pounds. even though that
child is much overweight, is showing
indications of overlooking and I'M
doubtedly improper feeding. He is
about 20 pounds overweight for his
age and II pounds overweight for his
height, which is that of 5-year-old
child. SO you see there really Is some
thing wrong with his diet or such
would not be the case.
Lessening the amount of food which
she consumes is the best way. as n
child needs all the growth and energy
foods. and these are fattening. Three
meals a day and less in quantity at
each meal should bring the weight
nearer normal. At first this may be
very hard for the child, for she has
become accustomed to vastly more
food than she needs, and she will feel
hungry.
If she has been eating between
meals or taking ice cream, cakes,
cookies or bread and jelly between
meals, these must be illuminated.
The child's health will be better In
all ways when she is nearer her nor
NAL weight and her appetite is more
nearly that Of the average child for
her age.
Constipation.
Mrs. G.. W.-The 16month-old boy
should have his constipation regu-
lated through his diet. Vegetables,
given every day at his o'clock feed
ing. should help a lot. OF course, he
must eat vegetables. Don't let him
hold them in his mouth. If you will
hold his nose for a moment he will
have to swallow them. Send to this
department for the leafiet on "Forci-
bile Feeding" If you let the child
dictate about what he shall eat at his
early age, you are certainly going to
have trouble all the rest of his life.
Sieve the vegetables. using carrots
and spinach on alternate days. These
Are laxative in effect. Try prune juice
on alternate days also-One day prune
juice, the next orange juice. Scraped
apple is good for constipation, and the
pulp of figs which has been run
through sieve would help, too.
Mrs. Eldred will be glad to an
swer all questions pertaining to
babies and children. A stamped,
Self-addreesSeed envelope forward
ed to this office will bring a peer
