Are you French?"
 The mans face frightened. 'Oui. out he answered, and pro- ceeded 10 speak in French with fair rapidity, but with an accent which even my limited knowledge told me was very poor. I felt d tug at my sleeve. and turning my head, found Katie close beside me.
 "Bah." she mu'tered truculently. "Eef dot rooster q Frenchy, den me, I'm queen Mary, or England" Hush, Katie" I hade her hur- riedly, feeling my mo'her-in-law's disappearing eyes upon me, and hastily turning an lrrepressible laugh into a cough. But I shared mv lit tlc maids opinion. The mans claim to be a Frenchman was false.
 Dicky Is Annoyed.
 That Dicky was annoyed I knew almos. at once. He IS never an adept at hiding his reactions to arro- gance-and that unpleasant quality was most noticeable in the stran- gers voice and demeanor. Finally. Dicky's rather rapid French speech slowed down until I could under stand what he said.
 we will sell you no water, but is yop need it. and ask in fitting manner, we gladly will give you whatever you wish. But your pres ent manner IS offensive"
 The mans face reddened. and he spoke slowly, in execrable English.
 My niece. my wife and I. we do not ask favors. We pay for every thing. We have all money neces- sary."
 Dicky looked at him curiously. his anger mysteriously changed into amusement, as so often happens with his mercuI-l tenn perament
 Now that's very nice." he said. You're luckier than most of us over here. Where do you come from, anyway? Aren't you afraid you'll get lost over here in American"

 That's all right, old sport" Dicky laughed. Take all you want"
 Tank you. tank you, send man for water. Tank you. Goot- day"
 He hurried of down the drive while we stood motionless. watching him. When he was out of hearing, Dicky exploded into laughter.
 ''Whatever he Is he's a good picker on American names, I'll say that for him." he said. Lincoln! It's wonder he didn't call himself Ahraham,"
 But Katie plucked at my sleeve and held me back from the rest, her mercurial face aglow with excite ment.

Your Health How to keep'It-
 Causes of Illness

(BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN)
 Editor Journal Of the American
 Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine
 Enough food should be eaten to provide energy for the daily work.
 The desire to eat is fundamental. The antidote to the desire to eat is the development of feeling of full ness or satisfaction.
 Hunger manifests itself by con- fractions of the stomach with hun ger pains. The sense of fullness, which is the opposite of the sense of hunger. is secured when food is in the stomach.
 Some foods make greater de- mands than others on the digestive organs. Some remain for long periods and others only for a short time within the stomach Some foods cause the stomach to secrete large amounts of digestive juices, whereas emptiness of the stomach brings about stronger and more regular contractions.
 IL has been found that protein foods require more digestive juice than do those that are chiefly con- posed of carbohydrate or sugar. Bread will pass from the stomach within an hour and a half. whereas a combination Of bread and meat will require two or three times as long before it passes from the stomach.
 The degree to which food brings about feeling of fullness or satis- faction depends on the rate at which 1t leaves the stomach. Therefore, meat keeps the sensation of appe- tte satisfied longest: after meat, fat and such mixtures of fat and pro- teins as is represented by cheese brings about a feeling of satisfac- ton. The substances that stay in the stomach for the shortest inter- vals are cereals and starchy foods.
 Tn picking a diet one is not. how ever, chiefly concerned with the amount of time that the food will stay in the stomach. A satisfactory diet contains certain amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, min- eral salts, or the vitamines that are essential for proper body growth and body repair. Funda mental fac- tors concerning these clements of the diet appear in articles which follow.

Peter Rabbit spent considerable time thinking about Eft the Newt and Sally the Salamander. He had discovered that they were cousins. Also he had discovered that they were not Lizards despite the fact that they were sha ped like Lizards, and of course looked as If they ought 70 be member. Of the Lizard family. He talked about them to everybody he met. The fact Is, Peter was trying to convince himself Of what he knew must be true.
 He spoke Of the matter 10 Quawk the Clack-crowed Night Heron. who had arrived at the Smiling Pool only that day from way down in the Sun ny South, where he had spent the winter.

 Peter looked over at the log; then he looked back at Quawk suspic- iously. Ton see. that log was very big log indeed and It was lying half in the water. T don't believe any such story as that" said he delib- erafely.
 Right away Quawk the Night Heron became offended. I'm not in the habit of telling things that arc not so.' said he. It doesn't make the least bit Of difference if you don't believe f. Truth is truth and no amount of unbelieving can make it anything else. What have you got your eyes shut for. Peter Rabbit?"
