the place for her. Ii there were. no little entrance already cut, she would cut one with those sharp teeth of hers. But there was an en- trance. There was nice little path of just the right size, leading right into the heart of that bramble-tan- gle. Only a rabbit could cut such little path as that. That meant thai somebody else used, or least had used this bramble- tangle
 Bu little Mrs. Peter didn't care. She darted in and then she drew long breath and slowly made her way toward the heart of the bram- bletanglc. A sudden loud thump made her jump. It was rabbit thump. There was no mistaking it. She looked in the direction from which it had come and fully ex- pccted to sec her father, Old Jed Thumper, the gray old rabbit who had lived so long in the old Pas ture. Instead, she saw another rab- bit. She couldn't see him clearly be- cause there were some brambles be- tween. But in that first glimpse she thought it was Peter.
 "Oh, Peter,' she cried, q was looking for you.'
 'I guess not" replied the other rabbit. Then little Mrs. Peter saw that 1t wasn't Peter, l. was another rabbit who looked like Peter look cl very much like Peter but was q stranger.
 "Oh,' said little Mrs. Peter, "J made a mistake! Do Nog live here in the old Pasture? Is this your bramble-tangle?"
 The stranger hoped toward her so that she got q better look at hrm He Was a handsome young rabbit. Nes, sir. he was a handsome young rabbit. Without answering little Mrs. Peters questions, he asked qUcs- ton Himself.
 "Who are yoU?" he demanded.
 "I am Mrs. Peter Rabbit and my home is m the dear old Briar- patch,' replied Mrs. Peter proudly
 The stranger stared at her very hard. "When l was little" said lr, "I llycd in dear old Briar- patch aLj they called mo Little p''o."

 "Hm," said Mary. Sounds bad his wanting to talk to me. But I cant help it if he does toss me out into the snow. l suppose l can earn my living somewhere"
 I knew that the flippant comment covered real terror, but l knew also that the only help I could give her would be 10 follow her own line, so I answered carelessly:
 T don't think I'd worry about a snow bath for q while, Mary. There, those snaps on the shoulder are the ones I'm afraid of, this gown is so easily torn. Now if you'll help me off with It, please"
 I lifted my arms and purposeIy made the task Of getting off the filmy gown as long as possible. My ruse was successful. By the time she had drawn it off, hung it upon a hanger and put it in the closet, she 4.t'I 'pHNi iuOl tu llfI Ill''ctE0lll'o7s
 But she was not ready to leave me. I saw that, and I wondered from which particular angle she would approach the subject Of young Noel Neritzen which l guessed was troubling her conscience a bit. But 10 my surprise when she spoke it was not Noel's name which came from her lips.
 Look here, Auntie Madge," she said, her eyes sparkling with inter est. Did you hear the Lincoln dame tonight when Uncle Dicky pro- posed drawing her with that dog?"
 Her tone Ald words betrayed more clearly than she knew the jealous rancor which she cherished toward our mysterious young neighbor. I wondered, not for the first time, whether that rancor did not have it's origin in a deeper regard for Noel Neritzen than either Mary or any one else guessed.

Little bears are very like small boys at times; their attention is cas- fly distracted. You will remember that the two cubs up in the Old Pasture were quarreling over the matter of which would try to dig out little Mrs. Peter. They quarrel ed and, l am sorry to say, began to fight over it. Their tempers are short and they get into a good many quarrels during the day. But these quarrels do not last long, Now they Cuffed each other and tried to bite and scratch, but really did no harm at all. When they got tired they stopped. They had tumblcd and roll ed their way from the hole in which little Mrs. Peter had disappeared. When they stopped to rest they for got what they had been fighting about. Something else drew their attention and they wandered off.
 Little Mrs, Peter, who was fran tically trying to dig a back door, stopped digging when she discover cd that those little bears were no longer trying 10 get her. As soon as she dared, she left that hole and scampered away as fast as her legs would take her. Never was there q more frightened rabbit than timid little Mrs. Peter. She ran until she came 10 q fine big -tangle, just the kind of bramble-taqgle that all rabbits love. The minute She saw it she decided that that was

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 geia, the Health Magazine
 Some people perspire easily and some all over the body. others per spire occasionally and with great difficulty: still others perspire on only small portions of the body at any single time.
 Japanese investigators in the physiological laboratory of the Manchurian Medical College in Mukden made 8 special study of various persons with a view to classifying different types of per spiration.
 People were placed in a room in which the temperature was raised rapidly and then the amount of precipitation in various areas of the skin were measured. Profused sweating all over the body, 1t was found, could be checked not only by the sudden lowering of the temperature, but also by the application of an ice bag to any part of the skin.
 In the same way, the heating of any portion of the body may provoke sweating all over the body. This Is an indication of the fact thatt he precipitation control is not directly in response to heat applied at any given point, but also by a general nervous mechan- ism.
 The physical condition of the individual at various times may influence the manner of perspira- ton. It was found that during the summer weather. on the day after a heavy drinking bout, or when the patient was in weak ened condition after an illness, he was likely to sweat at a lower temperature than in winter or un- der other conditions.
 When the ability to perspire easily is high, a very slight stim- ulus will provoke precipitation. whereas, If the person does not perspire easily, strong stimulus is required, sometimes the most intense emotion.
 The Japanese investigator listed three types of people in re- lation to perspiration: those who have little ability to perspire so that they barely sweat with very high temperature; those who sweat very easily and far beyond any necessary amount, and finally normal people who sweat just enough to keep their tempera- lures regulated normally.
 People of the first type should | not live in tropical countries, since heat accumulates in their | bodies and they are likely to have 1 heat strokes.

Mary Harrison Tries to be Brave in
 View of Her Ordeal.

Mary Harrison waited only for my door to close upon Us before putting the excited question which l knew had been near her lips ever since Philip Veritzen's departure.
 "oh Auntie Madge, did you ask him?" she queried. What did he say? Will he see me? When?"
 Yes to the first three questions. Mary" I told her, with a smile at her impetuous manner, "and he will see you Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock"
 "Oh, what an eternity to wait" she exclaimed. Then. at the eX- pression in my face she threw her self upon me contrltely.
 I'm so ashamed, Auntie Nadge," she said. 'Im just 8 little beast to he so ungratetul. when you've taken so much pains for me"
 Your repentance is as unreason- able as your lmpatience," I told her lauehincly. "Now let's forget about both. He's promised to see you Tuesday, and you'll have to content your soul until then"
 T know she said mcekly, then added hesitantly;
 Did he say anything about me when you told him, or don't you want to tell me?"
 Swiftly I went over my brief col loquy with Mr. Veritzen. No, there was nothing in the words which need cause Mary any uneasiness, and there was no compulsion upon me to reveal the grimness Of his eyes and the sardonic smile which I had noted with forboding for the girl.
 Our conversation upon that point was very brief" l told her. "I said hat you were anxious to see him for few minutes, and he answered that he was equally anxious to see you. He Is coming to see me on another matter on Tuesday, and l suggested that he talk to you at the
