Tho feast In the old pasture
Ry Thofnton W. Burgess

Let caution every movement grace.
And OF your presence leave no trace.
Old Man Coyote
When Old Man Coyote had caught
that plump hen in Farmer Browns
dooryard, he had done 1t 80 quickly
and quietly that the other hens had
known nothing about 1t. You see that
plump hen had been off by herself.
So after leaving her hidden In the
grass, Old Man Coyote ran back
swiftly but Just as cautiously as be-
fore. This time he did not find a
plump hen quite so handy. He had to
crss the dooryard in order toget one.
He didn't hesitate. Like gray flash
, he shot out into the midst OF those
:; surprised hens and seized one OF
. them BY the neck. Then while the
others ran mall directions, making
/. 4 terrible racket. Old Man Coyote
dodyed around the corner Of the
barn and once more headed for the
Old Pasture.
This time he kept straight on
going. When he reached the Old Pas
. ture he headed straight for his old
home-the one he had to give up
when Mrs. Coyote had chosen anoth-
er home. Straight into his old home
he went and there he left the plump
hen. Then. turning back he made
straight for the plump hen he had
hidden in the grass-the first one
he had caught. She was there just
where he had left her. Picking her
up he carried her up to his old home
and put her with the other one.
Then, grinning in a very pleased
way, he trotted up to the hidden
new home, of which Mrs. Coyote
was SO proud for him there.
You should have seen the look of
disappointment on her face when she
saw Old Man Coyote trotting up
without that promised dinner. Il
thought" she said, you were going
to bring a dinner that would be even
better than a young Chuck dinner"
Old Man Coyote grinned until his
tongue hung out Of his mouth.
What kind of a dinner would be a
better dinner than young Chuck
dlnner?" ased he.
Mrs. Coyote confessed that she
didn't know. But you promised me
one" she said.
And l always keep my promises"
said Old Man Coyote. Come with me
and you shall have the best dinner
you have had for long time"
why didn't you bring it here?
demanded Mrs. Coyote.
Because" replied Old Man Coy
ote, ut would be much wiser to eat
1t somewhere else. Now, come along,
my dear"
Mrs. Coyote went. She followed
Old Man Coyote down along the old
cowpaths until they came to his
and in a moment out popped his
head with a plump hen in his mouth
"Oh!" cried Mrs. Coyote.
Old Man Coyote said nothing, but
coming out, laid the plump hen at
Mrs. Coyote feet. This, my dear, is
for YOU" he said.
But aren't you going TO share. it
with me?" Mrs. Coyote asked. Right
down In her heart she hoped he
wasn't.
NO" he replied, you see ] have

the second plump hen.

There was long silence, broken
by the drowsy buzz of a fly above
the sunny table and the distant
sound of church bells.
Beau got up abruptly and went
out of the room.
His voice came back to them,
sharp and strained. "Oh. my lord, I

Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes Of Illness
BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEN
Editor journal Of the American
Medical Association and of by.
geia, the Health Magazine

Two physicians Of the United
States Navy, Drs. Wakefield and
Hall. have recently made available
a survey Of the various injurious ef-
fects of heat that occur in the fire
and engine rooms Of ships. as well
as other depths from heat in the
naval service. Among the forms Of
disturbances they list heat cramps,
heat exhaustion, sunstroke and ther-
mic fever.
Heat stroke was described by
the most ancient physicians and
Is mentioned definitely in Biblical
records. In 1889, DR.. Benjamin
Rush called attention to. the fact
that the disorder was occasioned
by drinking cold water in warm
weather and this view became 80
prevalent that it found place even
in the readers used in the public
schools. Highly moral stories
were written relative to the boy
who became overheated, drank
cold water and promptly died. It
has been found more recently that
cautious application Of cold cloths
or Of ice may be helpful.
Sometimes the person who re-
covers from heat-stroke will have
secondary symptoms Of great ser
iousness, indicating that the ef-
fects on the human body are rela-
lively permanent. One may also
become accustomed gradually to
greater degrees Of heat. A study
of the conditions Of heat stroke
shows that 1t is far more common
among those living in the north
ern parts than among those born
and reared in the south. ..
A scientific study made on ex-
perimental animals by the physi-
clans of the Navy indicated that
the kidneys are injured by severe
heat-stroke SO that they are I'M
able to undertake properly the
elimination necessary to keep the
body in health. Sometimes the
amount of sugar in the blood is
increased, but this varies.
There is also a tendency toward
the accumulation of acid, or
rather lowering of the alkaline
reserve Of the body. In other
words, the main affects OF heat
stroke are to bring about mas
sive increase in the acid material
Of the body and the symptoms as
ISOLATED with this are associated
with acidosis in general.

Il took all my courage to put
the query to Lillian about her ten

Yet It was a query which I knew

For Lillian. sanest and wisest of

life ana her relations to all those
coming in contact with her, was
initiating the ostrich In regard to
her young daughter. and with her
head buried in the sands of love
and fear for Marion, was refusing
to see that the lovely child was fast
growing into womanhood.
No mother in the world could
have given her daughter wiser or
more loving training than she had
given Marion during the happy
childhood following the enforced
separation Of Lillian from her baby
because OF the villainous treachery
Of Marion's father. From the mo-
ment that the death of Tom Norton
gave her child back to her, Lillian
had lived only for her daughter. But
though she had lavished on her
everything for which a child could
wish, she also had given her a els
ciplined, regular life, and the result
was as winsome and wholesome
child az any mothers heart could
desire.
But she was still child. when
all the other girls OF her age were
distinctly growing up. Marion had
had few playmates, and had desired
none, for her mother never was too
busy to share all her childish joys
and sorrows, and when she was
compelled to leave the city Upon
some Of her numerous commissions,
she either took the child with her.

paper proved to- be an excellent
insulator but is awkward to hand
lie. Unbleached muslin is fairly
retentive but is expensive. A cheap
grade of burlap served very well
as a heat retainer and is the least
expensive material of those tried.
One layer of burlap was suffic-
lent to keep the soil temperature
from eight to twelve degrees
warmer than in the open ground.
Two layers of burlap increased
the efficiency only about ten per
cent. These foregoing observa-
lions are the results of one years
experiment and they will be con-
tinued on larger and more prac-
tical scale at the irrigation expert
ment station another year.
The cost of covering an acre
of Strawberries is high, although
in comparison with the value of
the crop is not prohibitive. A 40
inch width of burlap will cover
two rows of Strawberries. where
they are planted 80 to SO inches
apart, and would require 29O4 lin
cal yards to cover an acre. At nine
cents per yard Quotation received
from a wholesale company the
cost would be $261.36 per acre.
This cost cannot be charged a
gainst the crop for one year but
should be spread over the life of
the burlap which ought to be three
years Or more with proper care.
