from a rabbit. there has usually been an injury of the hand of the person who dresses the rabbit and the germs gained their entrance to the body through the injury.
 The rabbit meat, thoroughly cooked. is harmless as a food. since temperature of 1S3 de- grees F. will kill the germ. It is. therefore. suggested that those who skin and dress the wild rab- bits should wear rubber gloves while handling them.
 The authorities also warn against the wild rabbit that has been caught by dog or cat. or which q boy has killed with club. Such rabbit is usually a. sick rabbit. If the hunter will let ihe rabbit run 73 yards before he shoots there IS less chanc- that he will shoot a sick rabbit.

You'd better let me drive you home" Sue advised. You stay away from him for week or two, and then see if you still feel this way about him. You might change your mind, you know"

 Sue looked out into the neat, hun- hle little street beyond the snowy curtains. Her eyes were thoughtful Poor Stalcy,' she said, I'm sorry for him.
 Then she looked at Lily, "Of course. I'll stand by you You know will-but I don't feel happy about 1t the least bit

 Then. like a ray Of sunshine. came the thought that he had gone 10 her fathers house just to be near her during tho weeks before her mar riagc. He had cut her picture out Of the paper and put 1t in his mirror where he could look at it when he shaved and dressed. . He had never even telephoned Elizabeth Ertz once after he had glimpsed her that day in Albemarle street.
 He came into the little room and stood inside the door for q minute, looking at her. '1 cant believe you're here" he said. quietly. and the last of her doubts was swept out of her mind.

 That was the way she felt about ! it-then.
 At 6 o'clock the Frances had l the meal they called "supper"-the l meal that would have been served at ! in the Lexington house and called dinner
 That night Mrs. France set the 1 table in the dining room. with it's red wall paper, it's red light globes, and its golden-oak furniture.

| vice indicates that November, De- cember and January have been the months of onset of 165 cases Of tularemia occurring east of the Mississippi river, and resulting from the dressing of wild cotton tail rabbits for food.
 These months are the open sea- son for the hunting of the cotton- tail rabbit, and it Is during this period that they are offered for sale in great numbers in the mar kets.
 Jack Rabbits
 The jack-rabbit is found almost universally west of the Mississippi river. It is unprotected by game laws, as it is pest to the farmers. Most of the cases that have oc- cured west of the Mississippi have taken place from April 10 October. since these are the months when the jack rabbits are killed and cut up for fish bait, chicken feed. dog feed. and, in some instances. for the table.
 The cases Of tularemia that have occurred from the bites of ticks have taken place in the months from March 10 August, the season of greatest activity of the tick, which has caused twenty seven cases in Montana and sur rounding states
 Twenty-three cases have heon reported from fly bites, and all of these have occurred in the period of from June to September, the months of greatest activity of the horse-fly. These cases occurred principally in Utah and in the sur rounding states.
 Dr. Edward Francis Of the United States Public Health Ser vice, who discovered the existence of this disease and who has made most of the Investigations con- cernlng it, examined the livers of one thousand rabbits offered for sale in the markets of Washing ton, D. C.. and found about TO of the rabbits infected with the germ that causes tularemia. While the disease is not especially serious, IT patients out of 42o that had it died.

 Lillian jumped 10 her feet with fine show of enthusiasm and struck her hands together.

 IL was difficult 10 keep my face straight at this reproot, for Litllan does not cara particularly for beach picnics If she has to do any of the work involved.

Reddy Fox knew, just as well as did Farmer Browns Boy, the perch from which Terror the Goshawk often watched the chickenyard. It was the tp-top of a certain tele- phone pole, far enough from Farm CT Browns house to be safe from q terrible gun, but near enough to the chickenyard to swoop down and catch a chicken when there should be chance. Reddy never went along the edge of the Green Forest near est to that telephone pole without looking over to see if Terror were there. And whenever he saw him Reddy ground his teeth, for he and Terror were sworn enemies
 It happened that on this particu lar morning Reddy was passing along in the Green Forest q short distance from place where he could look out and see that tele- phone pole. At first he didn't intend 10 look. Then curiosity got the bet ter of him. He hadn't seen Terror for several days, and he felt that he just couldn't pass without looking to see If Terror was on that telephone pole. So Reddy turned and trotted out to the edge of the Green For est. When he reached the place where he usually peepcd out he was so startled by what he saw that he walked right out in plain sight
 'Ny Or1cipnC'p Jp What does all that mean? 2" He sat and stared with hls mouth wide open and his tongue hanging cut. Hanging, head down, near the top of that telephone pole was q great broad winged bird. kicking and Tapping and struggling to get free from something which held him Sc curely, Reddy recognized Terror the Goshawk at once,
 T do believe he is caught in q trap" exclaimed Ecddy. who, you know, knows all about traps. "Rut who would have set q trap on top Of telephone polc?"
 Just then Reddy noticed Farmer Browns Boy running from inc di- rection of the barn. II, was heading straight for tha. telephone pole Reddy crept back out Of sight and watched. Straight 10 inc telephone pole ran Farmer Browns Boy. Tn his hand he carried a sack Up the pole he climbed. Terror the Goshawk redoubled his struggles. Watching his chance, Farmer Browns Boy got his sack over Terror's head. Then he managed 10 get the great wings held down and finally he had Terror wholly in the sack. trap and and all Then ne came down 'he pole and started for the barn, car rying Terror with him.
 Perhaps you can guess how curi- ous Reddy was at that. His curios- ity almost got the better of him. Yes sir. it almost got the better of him. He did so want to scc what was going to happen 10 Terror. "I wonder if hell kill him." mul,rrcd Reddy. 'I wonder if hr1l kin him. or if he'll just make a prisoner of him.
