She alreadyF had turned toward the rear room. evidently intending to make ready at once for her trip 10 the Meredith home. but al one word in my protest she whirled quickly upon me.
 "Suicide." she said. What do you mean?"
 The question daunted me for an instant, for my story had left her with the impression which was Dicky's-and at first had been Hal Merediths and my own-the theory that only loss Of reason could be responsible for Lucias actions. But I saw now that I must tell her the conviction of Lucia's sanity - and cunning malevoience which had come 10 me i, the alienist's office, a conviction which I had seen re- Iedged in Hal Meredith's eyes when he so imperiously quieted her.
 q mean that Lucia Meredith Is not insane, that her husband knows it and that she is plotting some dreadful thing against you
 How do you know that? hath- erine asked quietly.
 l told her, conscious as I did so that the theory appeared lame thing indeed when I tried to give the little nurse the reason for my be- lief.
 Forgive me, Nadge, but I can not share your belief" Katherine said. And now, please, l must get ready 10 go. I have a hundred little things 10 do-Tve been so comfort. able here that I've relaxed my own routine shamefully--so it will be an hour or so before I can start.'

It is tr, that Old Mother Nature has given each the right to live, but il is also her jaw that each must protect that right. In other words. each one must continually use his wits and be smart enough 10 prevent any one else from taking away that right. This is \ ther Natures way Of making sure that only the most fit shall live.
 Farmer Browns Boy had pigeons IS well as chickens. Of course those pigeons could fly al will. Pigeons are not kept in yards as are chick ems. So Farmer Browns Boys pi- geons could be seen flying about over the farm every day. They de- lighted 10 bill and coo on the roof of the barn. Some of them were so tame that they would come down and sit on Farmer Browns Boys hand while he fed them. He was very fond of those pigeons.
 Some of those pigeons were very swift fliers and Farmer Browns Boy took great pride in them. He delighted in watching them. He was doing this one morning. The pigeons were some little distance away in the cornfield. Suddenly they rose as if in fright and headed for home. At first Farmer Browns Boy could mt think what il was. Then he saw some distance back Of them q dark form coming through the air with tremendous speed. He knew 1T for q hawk, but it was the fastest flying hawk he had ever seen. Those pigeons were coming fast, but the hawk behind them was coming faster.
 Farmer Browns Boy yelled and waved his arms in the hope of frightening away that hawk. Rut that hawE didn't frghtan. Straight on 1t came and struck one Of those pigeons in midair ony few feet from where Farmer Browns Boy vas standing. Without stopping the haw. spt rn, carrying inc pigeon with 1t.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 PuhBc Health Cervica

! Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service The countless multitudes who lay aside their business cares to en- sage in one way or another in the celebration Of the FTlrth of July. our National Independence Day, constitute a glowing. a living tribute to the success Of our institutions of government.
 l. has so happen-d in recent years that the celebration of the Fourth of July regularly brought sorrow, suffering and bereavement to an ever increasing number Of fathers and mothers and brothers and sis ters, ! cause some member of family, usually some child or youth, became mangled throu.h the acci- dent Of an uncontrolled explosive.
 "Tetanus Week"
 Tetanus or lockjaw became so common that the period from July 10 10 July IS Of any year might have beeny named with propriet "Totanus Week."
 From 1903 to 1909, there were 901 persons who died from tetanus fol- lowing wounds due to Fourth Of July accidents. During the same period, there were 63O persons who died from other causes directly connected with these celebrations. This makes a death toll of 1881 persons killed in seven celebrations you might say in seven days. In addition. there were 30,606 persons wounded during the saem period.
 It was due mainly to the preva- lAnce of tetanus following the Fourth of July that a movement was begun to make the observance of this holiday safe and sane.
 This movement was inaugurated in 1908 and carried on for 14 years by that great body of wise and pa triotic Americans, the physicians Of the American Medical Association.
 Reduced Toll
 As a result, from 1910 to 1916, tn- there were only go deaths from tetanus and 271 from other Fourth of July causes. This was bad enough. but in 1916 there was not a single death from tetanus and only a few from other mishaps, Since the year 1916. we have had fairly safe and sane Fourth of July festivi- ties.
 Tetanus is dangerous disease, 1 due 10 a particular kind of germ in- i troduced into the human body by ! some sort of injury. Frequently, !. this injury Is only slight. Tetanus may be regarded almost solely as q 1 wound complication. Yet all wounds are not equally liable 10 this com. .

 "Phew." exclaimed Farmer
 Browns Boy, that's the boldest hawk I ever saw, and how it can ] fly. I hope he doesn't come back
 again. I thought my pigeons could fly. but they haven't any chance against that fellow. He picked
 that pigeon out of the air as if it were sitting still instead
 Of flying as hard as it could. If he comes often 1 sec where I shali have to keep my pigeons shut up T am not raising pigeons 10 feed
 hawks"
 Now once upon time Farmer
 Browns Boy would have been ter ribly indignant He would have been ready 10 kill every hawk that he got q chance to. just because that one hawk had taken one Of his pigeons. Bu. Farmer Browns Boy had come to know the little people Of the Green Meadows and the Green For est and the Old Pasture, and to un- derstand that when they killed they did so only for food; and this is no more th, man does. He was keep ing those pigeons and his chickens for food. He knew that in the eyes of hawks, owls, -oXes and some other of the little people ~ho kill for food, pigeons and chickens had no rights that other birds hadn't. So E. T tn T.1ar9a of these folk who were smart enough to now and then get q chicken or q pigeon. He knew that it didn't hap pen often and that if was done who'll ly in the spirit of self preservation. These so-called robbers" were not thieves, for they did not know they were stealing. They were simply get ting food when the opportunity pre- scented itself. So he had learned 10 protect his chickens and rarely did he lose one.
 But the Eeons were another matter. He couldn't keep them cooped ID as ho could his chickens Hitherto they had been smart enough 10 take care O. themselves. But if this hawk were 10 come that way often some hing would have 10 be done about it. Yes, sir, some hing would have to be done about fl.

IT is the most difficult Of all tasks, the wise care Of an insane patient. for tue border line between normal mental health and insanity is SO slight at times that 1t is ter. ribly hard to determine just what latitude can be given them. And paid attendants are apt to err on the side of strictness, for which Of course, one cannot blame them. But if ever poor Lucia needed a friend, she needs one now. Then, too, the promise I made her when she was in lcr right mind must not be void- ed because the poor girl suddenly has lost that reason"
 She strengthened her slender figure to its full height.
