 The nurses lips moved in pity. What a shame." The doctor said, Too bad" and looked at the man on the bed. The patient had opened his eyes, but in them was no recognition whatever, no sign of intelligence or of. life. They just stared.
 Too bad" the doctor repeated, | and turned away. leaving the nurse still standing at the bedside. She laid her cool hand on the patients s hot forehead and watched with wo- manly pity the muscles of the face tWitch and jump and the vacantly staring eyes that saw nothing. Un- der the bed covers the mans legs were jerking up and down, up and down, constantly.
 Miss Downing sat down and opened the package the doctor had left.

What Peter means Is that some times a lucky guess will make other people think you wiser than you really are. Peter has tried it. He ought to know. He always remem- bers the times that he has guessed right and fails to remember the times when he guessed wrong. So, from his point of view, it is always worth while to try guess.
 Evening Grosbeak," said Peter to himself over and over. Evening Grosbeak. Now, it is funny I have never seen MT. and Mrs. Evening Grosbeak. Yes, sir, it is a queer thing. But for that matter, I've never seen Piny but once before They're a queer lot-those Gros- beaks. They come down here in the middle of a bad winter and then they disappear and we may not see them again for two or three years. Piny said that Mir. and Mrs. Evening Grosbeak are somewhere around. He must mean by that that they are in the Green Forest. I'll have a look anyway"
 So away scampered Peter as only Peter can scamper. Lipperty lipper ty-lipperty-lip he ran.
 Tn a hurry" asked his cousin, Jumper the Hare.
 Peter stopped abruptly. Have you seen 'em 2" he asked.
 Have l seen who?" demanded Jumper indignantly.
 Peter felt foolish. T guess ] though you read my thoughts" said he. What I want to know is, have you seen the cousins of Piny the Pine Grosbeak? He says they are somewhere around here in the Green Forest"
 Jumper scratched a long car thoughtfully. What cousins?" he asked.
 The Evening Grosbeaks." replied Peter.

 The modern hospital is built around pathologic laboratory. The constituents of the human body have been analysed down to their fundamental substances.
 Surgery has taken marvellous strides and has become extraordi- narily conservative. Operations are seldom done by competent surgeons without the most exacting diagnosis.
 X-Ray's Wonderful Aid
 The X-ray has helped wonder fully toward accurate diagnosis. Fifteen years ago an operation on the chest was a hazardous under taking. Today surgical leaders do not hestitate to operate on the lungs, the lining of the chest wall. various parts of the gastro-intes- tinal tract and even the heart and the great blood vessels.
 In 1927 mans expectancy of life was 35 years. In the century that has elapsed the life expect ancy has been increased by 20 years. A child born today may reasonably expect to live to be 55. Through periodic physical exami- nation the span can be length ened.

where is he from? Has he any chance?"
 The doctor shook his head slowly. Not much of a chance, I'm afraid" was his reply. It's an unusually bad case of shell shock. This man is one of two of a machine gun unit of six. according to the ambulance men who brought him here, who wasn't blown 10 the four winds when two German shell hit their nest at Sedan.'
 And do they know who he is?"
 "Yes. This mans name. accord ing 10 these letters and pictures found sewed up in his coat, is John W. Powell, of Newark, New Jersey. He was found some fifty feet from one of the shell holes."
 The other man, the doctor con- tinued, was a James T. Elwell, from some place in Indiana. "Or so it was assumed from letters found in

I'm sorry you feel that way about it, Uncle Dicky," Mary said quickly and demmely.
 "A hit. a hit. Dicky-bird," Lillian laughed, and Dicky swung his young niece out of the chair into his arms.

She was wan but still bravely merry as he waved a good-hy to her from the door and left her to Katherine and me.
 Please don't let me bother you." she begged when he had gone. I'm perfectly all right
 But Katherine was memorable.
 You're going to be undrcssed and put to bed" she said. You're lucky if you're not spanked. You certainly will be if l catch you trying to get up until tomorrow morning. And I'll supervise that tempting tray of katic's myself. You're food for to- night will be plentiful, nourishing, appetizing, but light-my child light, so don't go Chcrishing any visions of apple dumplings.'
 I'll be good" Mary said, and when We had arranged her pillows comfortably We left her and went down the private staircase again. At its foot ] paused as 10 my ears came a faint, clicking sound.
 Did you hear that?' l asked Katherine.
 The little nurse nodded.
 Sounds to me like Mary locking her door" she said. She's an odd mixture of bravado and cowardice. She keeps all her doors locked all Of the time that she's in her room.'

1 Jumper shook his head. Not that | I know off, said he. What dc i they look like?"
 | Peter was 'stumped," as the say
 ing is. He didn't know what they | looked like. Why why" said he, they look like Grosbeaks, of
 course"
 Jumper grinned in the most pro- 1 voking manner. "Of course,' said he. Which Grosbeaks?"
 It was Peters turn to grin. Eve ming Grosbeaks," he replied impu- dently. With this Peter kicked up his heels and started on. He didn't | know where he was going. It didn't | seem to be of much use to stay in l the Green Forest. for surely Jump CT the Hare would have seen Mr. and Mrs. Grosbeak if they had been in the Green Forest He had an idea that those Grosbeaks belonged in the Green Forest, but it might be that they were outside for the time being. So, after a nasty look about through the Green Forest. Peter scampered over to the old Orchard.
 He was hopping along through the bushes that grew along the old Stone Wall on one side of the Old Orchard when he heard q voice which was not familiar. i've never heard that voice before." said Peter 10 himself. q wonder who it can be-"
 He peepod out PCcking at q froz- on apple on one of the trees was a bird he never had seen before. He was largely yellow, but with black cap, black head. and partly black wings. The remainder of each wing was white. He was about the same size as Piny the Pine Grosbcak. Pe- tor guessed who hc had found. He was sure of it when he looked at the bill. II was a thick, stout bill. Peter hoped right out.
 Excuse me-" said he, 'are you Mir. Evening Grosbeak?"
 The stranger stared down at him. What if l ann" he demanded after minute.
 "I just want to know" said Pc fer. "brcause if you are, 1'd like to make your acquaintance. I know Eoscbreast the Eoso-hr"asted Gros- hoak who comes up here in inc summer. and I've met your cousin, I'iny the Pine Grosboak, who is down here from tho North. That is, he is your cousin if you are the Evening Grosbeak."

during the last two or three years, San
AntoHians provided 81 100000 for the
construction Of this wonderful structure.
The new San Antonio municipal audi
t0rium has been erected on parcel Of
ground containing about five acres in
the heart Of the city. 1t is bounded by
Martin, Romano and Fourth streets
and on the northwest corner by the
San Antonio river. The main approach
is from Martin street
Alice Il. & Robert NJ. Ayres and
Willis 4 Jackson were architects.
Walsh & BurrHy we're general con-
tractors.
The building is Of a fircproof type
and modern and distinctive in every
detail. The general design and plan
differs from any other auditorium built
in America. The majority of sudtoriums
in plan are rectangular but San An
tonio's structure is oval in shape. The
general shape Of the interior of the
auditorium proper is that of an elipse

thereby affording each seat the closest
possible view Of the stage. The shape
has much 10 do with the proper acous-
tirs Of the building The ground floor
has 4 seating capacity Of $40 and the
capacity Of the balcony is 1000, maxi
ing total for the entire auditorium Of

u seats between sisIrs, four-foot aides
and space Of 20 by ~ inches for each

md affprding suitable comfort for oc-
cupauts.
The advantages derived by the sIac-
ing Of the building in it's present po-

easily heated during cold weather with
