Love. Awakening

keeck oop row. Al right. I fosx Madam Graham cop some loonch. leave hot"
 "Katie!"I began sternly. but with the realization of how futile and stereotyped my reproof had become during the years of my little maids faithful service. ''You must nut speak of MT. Graham's mother in that manner and you must not pro nounce her name that way."
 The last quart of my protest WIS unintentional. for years ago I gave up the struggle to teach Katie to say Madam Graham" in any other manner than that of her own choice which makes it sound ludicrousiy like a profane expletive. With the feeling that was making . distinct sacrifice of dignity. I turned away ss I uttered my reproof and left the kitchen. But though I pretend ed that l did not hear it, was pain fully aware of Katie's impudent com ment upon my mandate, which. however. she ahd the grace to mutt ter almost inaudibly:
 "Vot you want me call her. leetie kid, or new style flapper?"
 l knew that she did not intend me to hear the impertinence. but 1t reused my anger. nevertheless. and not for the first time in my relations with the little maid l almost yielded to the impulse to go back and dis charge her summarily.
 But it was only almost" The re- membrance of katies loyalty and efficiency joined in pleading for her with the prudent. if cowardly. re- flection that anyone in her place might be just as lmpertinent and certainly would not be nearly aa valuable to me as my tempestu ous little maid, who was so used to my ways. and SO devoted to our house hold.
 But the little incident annoyed me inordinately, probably because my nerves were vet raw from my en- counter with my mother-in-law and when late in the afternoon Katie re- turned from her drive looking as if she were near the bursting point with excitement. I took particular pains to keep out of her way. for ! felt in no mood to listen to her chatter.

Wilton. England. Oct. 2s ReAn English society hostess has been told that she was the first woman to spend . night in the desert under the flag of the French Foreign J e. zion.
 ehe is Lady Chaytor, wife Of Sir Edmund Chaytor of Wilton Castle. county Durham.
 The adventure occurred during A hazardous tourney she made by motorear across the Syrian desert to Aleppo Her only companions were two Arabs. who knew only . few English words.
 For five days the party ploughed ith way across the desert. During the first stage of the journey to Aleppo | cold wind was blowing and 1t commenced to rain In tor rents.
 The whole desert became | sea of mud, into which our Car sank deeper and deeper, until we were buried up to the axles," said Lady Chaytor.
 Night had fallen by the time we arrived at the encampment of the Foreign Legion. I crept out of the car, wet through. and made my way into a wooden hut in the mid de of which stood a stove with a brightly burning fire. Soldiers of the legion were seated round drink ing and listening to the strains of an anciet gramophone.
 Everybody was most hospita- ble. and I was given a room in which to sleep. Though it con- tained only . straw bed and a straw pillow. spent a most com fortable night.

Health Hints
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American, Medical Association and of Hy-
 gcia, the Health MAIsxine.


 Pugilists know the condition that results in the prize ring in which the recipient of the msuling sud- denly finds himself unable to move his legs, dizzy. or as it is commonly expressed. ''out on his feet" Dr. Harrison s. Martland recently read before the Pathologic Society of New York 8 discussion of the condition called punch drunk" :" which the fighters themselves sll characterize by the terms cuckoo '' ''goofy.' "cutting paper dolls." or slug nutty.'
 He points out that the condition usually affects fighters of the slug ging type who are usually poor box CTS and who take considerabl head punishment. seeking only to return a knockout blow.
 Mental Confusion
 Ii usually takes the fighter one or two hours to recover from a severe blow on the head or jaw. If he has been punch drunk" he may notice later Hopping of one foot or leg Tn walking, and sometimes mental confusion lasting several days. | Dr. Martland is convinced that the condition called punch drunk results from q definite brain injury , due 10 q single or repeated blows 1 on tho head or jaw which cause | multiple small hemorrhages in the l deeper parts of the brain Resembles Palsy In the late stages. therefore. the ! disease resembles the condition known as shaking palsy or Parkin- 1 sons dlseae.
 He has presented microscopic | studies of the brains of persons who have developed this condition. show. ing the pathologic changes which occurred in the brain. and which suhstantiate his point of view Furthermore. he presents the names of 22 fighters who have been punch drunk" and their present condition indicates the permanence ! of the physical changes.

While Jimmy Skunk had been having his adventures. Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat had been waiting for the water to 70 down, so that they eeuld Eet back to their homes-Mrs. Auskrat to that hole in the bank sad Jerry ts hts new house The very lay 4ftoF their adventure with Red ~ Fex tn the carrot patch the water hed dropped enough for Jerry 6 sit en the top of his house once nere. Perhaps you can guess how aAxiouxty Jerry inspected that house. 1A divoa and swam around 1t He ysnt iasaos. but the water still filled 0o room tnside, 70 he couldn't stay tsere. When It last he once more SeturnsA te the roof 1t was with feslinE of great relief,
 Tt int hurt q bit" said Jerry. Alkins ts himself. T didn't know bVt that part of it would be swept away. It's all here and all I've got 0 do is to finish it up. said it was oeang to be the biggest house I have ever built. and 50 it is. My. I hope this water will go down fast now. I'll have to go over and sleep in the house in the bank tonight
 So Jerry swam over to where Mrs. Auskrat was already established in the hole in the bank It was still pretty wet inside. for the water had 0een clear up to their bedroom. Their bed was all wet. But Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat didn't mind. You see. tAey have waterproof coats. So they weren't damp. and not being damp. they were not cold.
 The next morning Jerry discover a that the water had fallen very much. He could hardly wait to eat breakfast before going over to his new house in the Smiling Pool When 1e got there he found that he could now get inside without being in the vNter. This was great relief and Jerry It once resumed work He be- gan on the roof. The flood had brought down . great deal of trash. There were branches and bushes aiong the bank that had been wash sd down from up above. Jerry got some of these and used them to build up his roof. Then he filled them in with grass and rushes and little bit of mud. After he had work cd at this . while he went back in- side. There he found that all the new stuff he had put on his roof had crushed his roof in and there wasn't room enough to sit upright. There wasn't even room to squat com fortably. So then Jerry went to work with those sharp teeth of his. He cut away and cut away and cut away in Ade until finally he once more had . nice big room. ...
 It was about this time that Mrs. Muskrat arrived. She inspected all the work Jerry had done. He hoped she would say some nice things about 1t, but she didn't. But neither did she say any bad things about it. She sniffed a little here and sniffed little there and turned up her nose at this and turned up her nose at that. But Jerry noticed that she seemed in no hurry to go hack to the hole in the bank By and by Jerry rot ready to go to work on the roof outside again. Mrs Muskrat remain ed inside. Jerry became SO busy that he forgot all about Mrs. Muskrst He brought material 10 pile on the roo3 and tucked it into place and worked as only Jerry Muskrst can work. He forgot all about Mrs Muskrat. Finally Jerry went inside. expecting to have to cut away some more. Much to his surprise, he found that the room was quite all right.
