But tho condor will not he allowed 10 hatch her own egg because she tried it before and smashed it in incubation process. This time the expensive egg will be placed in an incubator.
 Thus docs even nature recognize the fact that the biological mother of the child may not be best for 1t. I am reminded of criticism heard the other day of a woman who leaves her baby each day and goes about her business of store manage ment Perhaps she, like the rare condor. knows enough to do her own job and leave a job that isn't hers to another!

 Audrey nodded, speeches.. Par rish had put his arm around her but now he stepped back.
 Morton held out his arms to her, "T need not have adopted you, sweet heart" he said. T did that to hide from you something-something I'm going to tell you now. I wanted to hide it from you and from all the world "
 They waited for him to go on. His face was drawn and he breathed laboriously.
 q cannot ever marry you, Au- drey," he said. He drew q deep breath. If you and John love each other, you must not consider me.

 He was shaking as Audrey took his hands.
 T cannot marry you-" he threw his head back.
 T am your father!"

I don't know whether to call you Faith, Hope or Charity. but your name ought to be changed to one of the three.

 Tn going on your vacation, espe- cially if you are spending it in the open, you should be prepared to deal intelligcntly with minor in- iuries and accidents. You should know what to do In case of sudden illness. If you are planning camp ing trip to some place far from doctor you should provide yourself with q first aid kit and a few simple remedies,
 It is important that you should first aid treatment should he given hy one who IS not familiar with the science of medicine. In ease of sud den illness sec that the patient is put tabed if possible and if tho con- dilIoH appears serious you should or course prepare to seek medical aid. Pains can often he relieved by hoy applications Headaches may be re- li5yal by cloths wrung out In cold water and frequently changed How ever, you should know that head aches are usually but symptom of some more serious systemic trouble.
 A change of drinking water ire auoNty results in intestinal disor- d"rs and diarrh-a. Tn all cases of Sever" darrhea it is imperative to stop ajl food at once and give the patient plenty of water to drink. A 2t-hour fast will frequently effect a cure
 You should beware of the various insect pests. The farther your camp is removed from human habitation. stables and hog pens. the freer it will be from flies. High ground or drained ground with no standing water anywhere near will be found to be fairly free from mosauitoes If the locality Is not free from mos Nuito"s cotton mosquito bars should be used.
 A pure water supply is absolutely essential if you would reap any h"althful benefits from camping ont. Unless you are positively certain that tha water supply is pure you had better not take chances. Pro- feet yourself by boiling all water used for drinking purposes.

Never before had Old Mother West Wind seen him in such a temper. She was quite shocked, but she was also curious. So she repeated her question: What are you doing up here, Johnny Chuck"
 Cant you see what I'm doing up here?" retorted Johnny. I'm get ting madder every minute"
 T can see that" replied Old Mother West Wind, "but what I can't see is what you are mad about"
 I'm getting madder every miu- ute" replied Johnny Chuck, "be- cause I don't know where I am. and ] don't know how to find out where I am"
 Old Mother West Wind nearly dropped her bag containing the Merry Little Breezes. You don't know where you arer" she ex- claimed, looking as if she really didn't believe Johnny Chuck meant it.
 "No, don't know where I am," snapped Johnny
 How funny!" exclaimed Old Mother West Wind.
 At that, Johnny Chuck almost had a fit. He was so mad that he stuttered when he tried to talk. "F-f-f-f-f-funny!" he exclaimed. "I d-d-d- d-don't see any thing f-f-f-funy about it.
 At that Old Mother West Wind laughed right out. If you don't know where you are, how under the sun did you get here?" said she. Did you walk here in your sleepy"
 You should have seen Johnny Chuck then. Still, on second thought, I guess perhaps it's just as well you didn't see Johnny Chuck then. He didn't present a pretty picture at all. You know, people in temper never do. Walk here!" he sputtered, Walk here! I was brought here"
 At that Old Mother West Winds eyes opened wider than ever. Now who under the sun could have brought you here?" she asked
 Johnny Chuck ground his teeth Farmer Browns Boy," growled Johnny. Farmer Browns Boy brought me here; and I don't even know where the Green Meadows are to say nothing of the Old Orchard"
 You're in the Old Pasture said Old Mother West Wind. "And I tell you. Johnny Chuck, there are lots of worse places than the Old Pasture"
 "oh", said Johnny, lis that where I am?"

 l followed her brisk progress into the other room with my imagination so stimulated by the odd program she had laid out for me that l found it hard to focus my mind on any thing outside that bizarre prospect. But Dicky's voice accosting me brought me to attention.
 Mrs. Braithwaite Is Right"
 "Madge," he said earnestly, "can't you make Harriet see reason? She insists upon going back to Detroit tomorrow and taking Mary with her. Why! They'll both be dead! You don't want to go, do you, iktten ." he turned 10 Mary with his voice filled with hospitable protest.
 Why, yes, Uncle Dicly, I do," she said unless Aunt Harriet is JOO Nlltu lpt llit JuulLtSs Oi S'S the sooner I go. the sooner l can come back again."
 All the rapturous enthusiasm of her first arrival at the hotel, was in her voice. She evidently had steeled herself 10 endure the pen- ance of apology to her school which Lillian had stipulated, and her sole concern was honorably 10 finish her term there, and come back to the preparation for the life career she had chosen.
 But. Harriet" began in cordial seconding of Dicky's protest, sure ly twenty-four hours won't make any difference. And you must be terribly fatigucd."

 CHAPTER XLIII
 Audrey shook her head. Her eyes were filled with tears.
 Not that, John, not that"
 The boy elasped her hand more tightly. Don't cry. Audrey, I'm not worth crying about. But can't you tell me why, dear? Don't you love me?"
 Audrey covered her face. Daddy -I love him." she whispered.
 Parrish looked at her miserably. but did not let go of her hand. Au- drey lay against the pillows, very still, so that he was frightened and leaned over her. Audrey! Are you feeling worse?"
 'Im all right" she whispered. Just so tired"
 Parrish held her hand still more tightly. Anyhow. dear, I love you and I'll always do anything in my power to help you. If Mir. Morton will give me my job back I'll stay right hero so can see you now and then. Don't you worry about me, Audrey"
 She looked at him a little more calmly Its daddy, John. He's so lonely, and he's been through so much in his life. John, he was in love-with my mother once and she tailed him. And since he's lost her I've got 10 make it up to him, haven't I?"
 Parrish considered. What about Mona? What if he marries herr"
 "Well', said Audrey slowly. 'Nona's a dear girl. but he won't marry her. I intend that he shall marry mo"
 The nurse entered the room. Time to go now" she said to Par rish.
 It was late in the evening when Morton woke and. stretching his arms above the coverlet, pondered the events Of the hours just before. When the memory of Audrey's ill., ness returned. he sprang out of bed and ran to the house telephone. The butler, who answered it, told him that Audrey had awakened earlier in the day and that he would ask the maid whether she could be seen,
 Morton dressed in feverish haste ry, T D1l .,,E1 |, ing Audrey's door, he heard the murmur Of voices within. The door was slightly ajar and he pushed 1t gently open. John Parrish had re- turned and was seated by Audrey's bed, holding her hand and talking in low tone. Morton could sec the girls smiling face in the mirror
 Across the room the nurse sat with a book in the little wicker chair where Morton had held his forty -eight-hou vigil.
 As he stood there Audrey caught sight of him. "Daddy!" she erica, so that the nurse looked up and frowned.
 Morton hurried to the bedside. Audrey, sweetheart" he said, and knelt beside her, with his head on the coverlet. Then he began to sob with great, dry sobs that shook hts body from head to feet.
 Parrish looked on aghast.
 The nurse came to him and touched him on the shoulder. "You mustn't do this, Mir. Morton, you are exciting our patient. Hush!"

Morton apparently did not hear her, for he still crouched by the bed, his head in his arms.
 Don't mind him." Audrey said, looking up at the nurse. I'm not sick any more. And I'm so happy to have him here that nothing will hurt me.
 Parrish nodded to the nurse. "1 guess we're all so happy that noth- ing matters" he said.
 Morton and Parrish were having breakfast together three days later and talking over the work that had piled up at the office during Au- drey's sickness.
 I'm going to put you in charge for while" said Morton. q want to take Audrey back to New Britain and get her established in a house that she can manage herself. I thing she needs responsibility and something to interest here.
 Then, after we've been there a few days, and I feel that I can leave her for a time, I'll wire you to come and take the office there while I return to New York for couple of weeks"
 Parrish was staring at him. DO you mean that you intend to give me charge of the office, Mir. Nor ton? I'm afraid I'm not competent" ."
 Morton shook his head inpatient ly. "If there's one thing about you that irritates me, Parrish, it's your internal howl that you are not com petent. You would have won in business and also in love if only you had had a slight superiority con- plex instead of an inferiority. For heavens sake snap out of it.''
 Parrish looked puzzled. T guess you're right he said. But when tried to show my independence by running around with Violet Mont- gomery l got into hotter water than ever."
 Morton looked up. That's differ ent- Trying to show somebody how smart you are never works. But just going coolly ahead in an assur- ance of your own powers is always successful. I wish to heaven you'd tried that with Audrey. She'd have fallen for 1t, All women do."
 "Well', said Parrish. with half unconscious audacity, you ought 10 know-Audrey and Mona and the rest"
 Morton looked at him in silence for a moment: then he laughed. We'll, ] guess am lucky. Audrey for an adopted daughter and Nona-- Nona's a wonderful woman, John, Any man might be proud to have her love"
 Parrish looked at him curiously.
 The butler came in with a tele- gram which Morton laid beside his plate for 8 moment.
 'Where is Mona now?" asked Parrish. Doesn't she come here any more?"
 Morton stopped to think. q don't know about Mona, whether to send her away or not. She's a loyal sweet girl. I think she can be a world-famed dancer, too, John"
 He was interrupted by gay little laugh at the door. And, turning both men saw Audrey. dressed in street garments for the first time since her illness.
 You didn't know I was coming down, did you?" she laughed. "The doctor said I could get up this morn
