CHAPTER TX

Wriggling backward through the
narrow hole had many disadvantages,
as well as dangers. 1t was like feel
ing ones way through the dark with
the feet, blindly stumbling along at the
brink of precipice, 1t was an even
chance that the body would be car
ried over it before the mind sensed
the danger.
Nevertheless, Dick made slow but
sure progress. kicking his heels up
ward and sideways to feel his way.
and when he finally came to broader
place he made the attempt to turn
around so he could crawl head first.
1t was narrow squeeze, and for a
time it was doubtful if he could do 1t.
Like a squirrel curling up to sleep, he
doubled his body until his head was
between his knees. and then slowly
squirmed and twisted until his posi-
ton was reversed.
After that the going was easier.
He could feel his way with his hands
and could use his eyes to some extent.
1t was as black as midnight in the
hole, but his eyes. grown accustomed
to it. seemed to penetrate the gloom.
The salt air that drifted through the
passageway urged him onward. 1t was
growing stronger every moment, and
Dicks spirits rose accordingly The
salt air could not get into the passage
way unless there was some opening on
the sea side.
Fifteen minutes later when ne
caught faint glimmer or light ahead.
he knew that the worst of his troubles
were over. Where there was light
there was freedom. He crawled more
rapidly after that. keeping his eyes
focused on the gradually increasing
speck of daylight.
When he finally reached the end. he
found himself ON ledge of rocks some
twenty feet above the beach, The
assure In the cliff through which he
had crawled had been formed ages ago
by CONFUSION of nature After the
mighty upheaval, the rocks had set
tied down like Il mass of crystals,
leaving spaces, narrow and wide, with
here and there natural cave forma-
ton between them.
Crawling to the face of the ledge,
Dick breathed deeply of the salt-laden
air. and watched the frothy spume ris-
ing from the beach below. Consider
ably exhausted by his labors, he
sprawled out in the sun to rest and
regain his strength.
The beach was below. and the top
of the cliff fifty feet over his head.
There were twenty feet of sheer per-
pendicular cliff to descend, but after
his former troubles climbing down
alarm him. He would accomplish it
in some way when he was rested.
Lying there in the sun, with his
eyes half closed. he was unconscious
of the presence of others until foot
fall on the rocks below startled him.
He sat upright. every faculty alert,
sensing new danger. Selling
ragged piece of rock In his hand he
waited for this new enemy to show
himself.
There was possibility that MCGEE
had missed him, and knowing OF this
pass,sgeway to the sea had hurried
around to the cliff to intercept him.
Or perhaps he would be attacked in
front and back. He kept wary eye
on the hole behind him. and eau
tiously craned his head over the ledge
to look below.

Feeding Problems.

For Mrs. r. N; A baby of only
IN months who has gained from a
little overt pounds TO 90 pounds is
obviously overfed. The use of con
denSsd milk plus regulation milk
formula is not to be advised. Use
some form of sugar in the milk
formula: give the same amount as
now and add to the baby's diet cereal
and vegetables. When a person wants
all of the eight feeding leaflets it Is
advisable to send A. good sized
envelope and at least two stamps.
Mrs f.. NJ. NJ: A baby who has
gained only two pounds in three and
one half months is getting far too little
to eat. 1t is also wrong to give the
orange Juice when he is nursed. or
Is that what you meant? You said
II give him orange juice when he
nurses and he always vomits.
Orange Juice should be given one hour
before a nursing. The vomiting, Of
course may be caused by other things.
My advice would be to nurse the child
for 10 minutes, regularly every three
hours, and then give " ounce of milk
and the same of boiled water and "
teaspoonful of sugar, after the nurs-
ing. His small gain and the constipa-
tion seem to indicate too little to eat.
II this does not help and he still con-
tinues to vomit, better have him ex-
amined. He may have some trouble
that will need special feeding to cure.
Mrs. l.. B.: The year-old babys
diet seems all right, but it is true
that he should now sleep all night
without waking. Have you tried
cereal with the 6 O'Clock feeding, as
well as The milk? This is all can
suggest as everything else seems

The Pawnbroker's Sim.

Much specula tion has been ventured
as to the origin and significance of
the unique trade mark that swings
above every pawnshop. The most
popular misconception Is that the
three gold balls stand for the money
loaned by the pawnbroker.
The first pawnbroker in England
WAS an agent of the Medici family Of
Florence. and the three balls which
he adopted as his sign were the coat
Of arms Of that famous family
For the history OF the adoption by
he Med els of this heraldry there is a
fantastic tale. II has been said that
it was appropriated by an early
Medici. one Of the generals OF Charlie.
maSne. who after Staying 2 certain
terrible giant took off as a souvenir
his great club which had nailed to it
three iron balls. But this Is not true.
The fact is that the original balls
OF this device were blue and repre-
scented nothing more romantic than
the pills formerly administered by
the Medicis, who were physicians be.
fore. they were money lenders. The
blue balls we're eilded only about 10
years ago.
