 felt ashamed of the eagerness with which I adopted her sugges. ton. Yet one of my old-time intui. misrepresentation do not know what to call them. but I never found 1t safe to suppress them-told me that I had something else besides ordinary curiosity to satisfy, in making this call upon the strange household and finding out for my self just what sort of people our new neighbors were. It was only too evident that this imperious young woman meant to get acquainted with young Noel Verizen at any cost, and while had no desire to keep him sitting in Mary's pocket I was keeping hands off that affair strictly-yet had enough interest in the boy himself, to wish to see the young woman who wished to annex him.
 But that was not my only reason for my desire to see the new family. l might be wrong; my imagination. as Dicky so often has told me, was probably working overtime, but I scented mystery. intrigue of some sort In the household so strangely and suddenly set down in our midst. The, least I could do was to visit them and study them carefully.
 ''I'll see what MT. Graham's plans are." I said. with a dutiful wifely air, which I hoped imposed Mrs. Ticer. land if 1t Is possible we will drive over. But don't expect us."
 "Oh, not" she protested, but there which I recognized. and knew that she was already planning some sort of refreshment which would do honor to her The Larches and her new employers upon the occasion of our call. Then she gathered her coat around her.
 T must hurry" she said. I've a million things to do. Don't come to the door, I'll just collect Jerry and drive on."
 But l went with her as far as the kitchen door and, when she had gone, turned eagerly to Katie, who with shining eyes was watching me above the roses she had gathered when had told her to listen to the guttural alien tongue of the two men with the savage dog. and see if she could identify the language.

 ! always have flattered myself that am free from the vice of idle curiosity, but could lay no such unction to my soul when Mira Ticer made another reference to her new employer, Miss Lincoln, with her odd, imperious ways, and her un- abashed interest in Noel Veritzen. Our encounter earlier in the day with the young woman's uncle. the lessee of The Larches. who had come for water and had been dub bed a Transylvanian by Katie. had stimulated my interest in the family because of their nationality, which had been much exploited in our newspapers when the royal family of the country had visited the United States but a few weeks be- fore.
 Mrs. Ticer's racy description of the odd family with which she, her husband and son had taken service for the summer, had increased my interest to such a pitch that blushed for my answer to Mrs. Ticer, even though 1t signified only what I normally would have done in the case of any family taking The Larches, the nearest country place, not a tenant farmhouse, on the road to the village.
 "She must be . very interesting young woman." l said. "Of course. we must call upon them-or do you think they would resent it-perhaps they do not care to make acquain- tance in the neighborhood."
 "Oh! think they'd love it," Mrs. Ticer rejoined. obviously pleased. T don't mean that they'd care to mix with everybody-they're awful ly high-falutin'. but I've told 'em all about you" (Her voice intimated that she had given us social kinship to the Prince of Wales) And Miss Lincoln seemed awfully interested, especially when I told her that you had something to with writing for theater or something like that. s'pose she's like all the girls, crazy to be an actress. But do you know, she says to me, I wonder If they'll call?' Just like that she said 1t, kind of wishful like. Don't you suppose you could drive over tmorrow aft ernoon and just sort of welcome 'em to the neighborhood like? She's an awful stuck-up piece part of the time. but you can't help liking her just the same. And l don't believe

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FTSHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Fly.
 nnp1A thn Hn~1th Mo orr~~S-n

Ed1tor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine. About 1918 numerous cases began to appear in the United States of . condition promptly christened by the newspapers American sleeping sickness" It became necessary for I physicians to explain the difference between this condition and the African sleeping sickness, of which much is definitely known. The American condition was characterized by progressive stu DOT or lethargy in some instances, although in others there was excite ment and babbling. The disease occurred most commonly in the winter months. rarely in children, and affected both sexes.
 It had various forms. all of them, however, affecting the nervous sys- tenn. bringing about difficulties in motion, peculiarities of conduct and paralysis. Apparently early cpl denies had followed influenza, as
 the one of 1918 followed the in- fluenza epidemic which spread I acros the world in 1915, 1916 and 1917.
 The disease Is quite certainly
 communicable from one person to
 another, but its cause is unknown.
 It's spread has caused much alarm. ] since the condition cannot be con- 1 trolled by any known methods. AS
 with infantile paralysis, from which
 this disease differs in many particu- 1 lars. spreading probably occurs by
 the discharges from the nose and
 throat of infected persons, or from
 articles soiled with these discharges.
 Presumably the contact is direct,
 although 1t cannot be demonstrated
 in every instance.
 In view of what is already
 known concerning this disease, per- I sons who are sick should be islo.
 lated and all discharges. as well as
 clothing associated with them,
 should be thoroughly disinfected.
 Tho treatment of this condition is
 what physicians call symptom.

-Old Man Coyote.
 Never will the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Mea- dows forget the coming of the cir GUS to the Green Meadows. All that nrst day they kept afar. for never had they seen so many people as came all day long and even in the evening to the great tent. But after tho people had gone. and only those who belonged with the circus re- mained. and those were for the most part quiet, some of the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest drew near. There were strange odors on the night breeze, animal odors, and 1t was known that there were many furred and feather cd folk in ono of the big tents. Old Man Coyote, coming down from the Old Pasture and circling about un- easily. but stealthily at a short dis tance from the animal tent, contin- ,pally sniffed those strange odors. Some were more or less familiar, but others were wholly strange and gave him . feeling of uneasiness. He wanted to run away and he wanted to stay. While his nose brought him these strange odors, his ears brought to him strange sounds It was all very exciting and at the same time fearsoms.
 Finally Old Man Coyote sat down and pointed his nose at the moon, opened his mouth and sent that strange cry of his, which sounds as If made by many tongues instead of one. ringing across the Green Mea- dows, back to the Old Pasture. and up to the Great Mountain. Twice Old Man Coyote howled. And then he received an answer. He couldn't believe his own ears. A long time had he been E,ing there and many. many times had he howled at the moon. but never once had he receiv- ed reply. But now another Coyote had replied. The reply had come from one of those tents. It was a little untitled. but that it was the voice of Coyote there could be no doubt.
 Old Man Coyote was almost be- side himself with excitement. Again he pointed his sharp nose to moon and howled as only he can howl. Then he listened. The reply came instantly. Poor Old Man Coyote! Until now he had not realized how lonely he was. No. sir, he had not realized it. But hearing that voice the voice of his own kind-set his heart longing for company.
 He stole nearer to- the tent. Un- easily he paced back and forth, all the time keeping in the shadows. Again he lifted his nose and poured out his heart. as it were. Again he received a reply. but before it was finished. 1t was drowned in such a roar as made the very ground shake. Old Man Coyote tucked his tail be- tween his legs and headed straight for the Old Pasture as fast as his legs could take him. He might have . relative in that strange place. but he had no desire now to find out.
 Once more that great roar shook the earth. It seemed to Old Man Coyote as if every hair on his body stood up at the same instant Cold hhills chased each other all over him. He didn't know who or what had made that tremendous noise, but he knew that 1t was the voice of an anil hal and 1t made him afraid And perhaps 1t made that other Coyote afraid too. for no more did he hear that voice that had % filled him with Loneliness. You know, of course
