1 not bear the thought of her idolized. carefully-sheltered daughter being
 brought into even such innocuous
 contact with the desperate man as
 his quasi-relationship to Marion's
 roommate had entailed.
 For my part, l think you're
 painfully constructing q mountain
 out of the well-known molehill," I
 said with smiling mendacity. for I swiftly had decided that there was
 no shadow of use in encoura ginx Lillian to hold this belief, which.
 however, secretly shared. You 1 haven't shadow of real proof that l the man even knows Prince Georges is in any danger of attack. It isn't like you to jump to conclusions. | Why don't you reserve judgment | upon MT. Owen?"
 She looked at me with such quick
 hope in her eyes that felt my throat constrict with longing for l the power to dispel her anxiety. To Warn Harry I've rarely known you to be
 'mistook in your judgments,' she said, with waa little smile. there fore I'm going to stop worrying my head about Charles Owen. But-l ought to show this letter to Harry don't you think?'
 "Of course" I answered. but even as I uttered the words l was frantically wondering how I could get hold of Harry Underwood be- fore she had an opportunity to show him the letter. If I could warn him to add a pretended disbelief in Charles Owens activities to the doubt I just had given her, I was sure her mind would be at ease con- corning the man. unless. of course. some unforeseen development should definitely connect him with the attack upon Prince Georges. With a worried expression. which I hoped was plausible, I rose from my chair.
 Do you need me any longer?" asked. II must get over into our apartment as soon as possible. Dicky has been unpaeking over there. and you know what that means"
 Being married to the Dicky- birds best friend and soulmate in disorder. I have a faint idea she said. Go on with whatever's on your mind. I've unburdened mine to you and feel much eased. I think I'll take little nap to cele- brate."
 "A mighty good idea" told her with outward appreciation and se- rret jubilance, for one-half of my problem was solved. Now. to get hold of Harry Underwood before she walked!

WHEN EXPLANATION FAILS
By Alice Judson Peale

By Alice Judson Peale
 We are told by those with liberal theories on the education of chill dren that we always should explain things to them. We know that often when a youngster is on the verge of tears we are able to check the storm with a few clear and simple re- marks.
 But most of LIS have found that there are occasions when the rem edy does not work. Sometimes the more we explain to the child why he may not do so and. or why he must do thus and so, the more ve- hement, incoherent and disorgan- ized is his response.
 There are certain types of chill dren who take their emotions more violently than others, who in times of stress cannot accept the fact which balks their wishes. The problem with them is not to make them understand but to accept cmotionally an unpalatable reality.
 One evening after supper Patsy discovered that she had lost her dolly's stocking in the park. It had

 Lillian repeated my query slowly. and ! guessed that she herself had not yet fully completed the inter prstation she had put upon Charles ovens acivttisA as disclosed to us by Marion's garrulous letter.
 Until this affair of Prince deoress has been settled one way or the other," she said at last. "Of eourss hs expects it to culminate in only enc thing, the assassination of the young heir to the throne Of Trs4s, and I am sure he has planned to keep up this bomhard- Hsnt of Carolyn and Marion with yernembrances until he receives the news of the princes death. Then he figures he can stop. for he will have established an enectual elibi."
 T don't quite get it," I said. voicing doubt which had been lowering in my mind. 'Mr. Owen might buy all those things in one place. might he not, and have them mailed from the cities from which he has sent them?"

YOUR HEALTH
RY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

It is a commonly recognized fact that doctors do not practice what they preach and that the absent minded professor with a tremend- ous knowledge of calculus and logarithm is frequently unable to foot up the grocery bill.
 This, of course. is a part of hu- man nature. Physicians who con- stantly teach other people the im- portance O. eating slowly are driven by the amount of their practice to a nasty gulping of sandwich and a glass of milk at lunch.
 Largely because the professor of the past was shut-in type. the cartoonists have come to depict him of tiny body and tremendous head, wearing thick lenses because of his near -sishtedness and eye strain, and utterly incapable of any, thing in the way Of physical per- formance. There has. however. came about a considerable change in recent years.
 In the first place, the nations sport has changed from the strenu- ous activities of the past, such as baseball and tennis. to the milder golf and there has come general recognition of the value of mild exercise and outdoor life for happi- ness and longevity. There is hard ly a college or university in the country today that has not its golf course adjacent
 Recently Hr1licka. in order to determine the condition of profes- sors, measured one hundred mem- hers of the National Academy of Sciences. all of whom are recog- nized as high class brain workers. He found that these men were not interiors, but in general superior in physique, strength, health and longevity to old American types Moreover. the heads of these men did actually exceed in size not only the heads of the public at large, but even those Of we'll edu- cated and professional persons of old American classes. In other ways, the highly talented men of science conformed physically to the races from which they were de- scended. such as German, Russian. Italian or other groups.

Happy Jack Squirrel

Robber the Rat sat at the en- trance to his hole beneath the old stone wall and watched Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and his family gather around their breakfast ta- ble, which was big flat stone in the old wall Robbers eyes grew red with anger For several days he and the Squirrel family had been quarreling over the. food put our every morning by Farmer Browns Boy. So far. Robber had had the best of it. He had always succeed cd in putting to flight the Squir- rels. Once or twice they had sur- prised him and made him run by the audiences of their attack. But always he had returned like a fury and in the end they had fled.
 So now Robber as he watched them. was preparing to rush them again. He noticed that they did not appear to be hungry. Instead of eating they had gathered together and seemed to be talking something over. II wonder what they are up to now" thought Robber.
 As if in answer. Mrs. Happy Jack and the four half-grown members of the family left the old wall and climbed up 'n the nearest tree. leaving Happy Jack to eat his breakfast alone. Happy Jack set tied himself as if he meant to stay. It was evident that that was a good breakfast.
 Only one." muttered Robber. s'1ll put that fellow 10 flight in short order. When he sees me conn., Ing he'll waste no time in getting away"
 50 Robber rushed in his usual tAvase manner. Then he received one of the greatest surprises of his Nfe. Instead of turning tail and running. Happy Jack sprang to meet him. There was nothing of the coward about Happy Jack. The glare in his eyes was quite as fierce as the glare in the eyes of ?obber the Rat. They came together with Jaws snapping and hindfeet kick ing and ripping. My such fight as that was! Robber the Rat is mo- torious fighter. He has been heard to say that he would rather fight than eat. He hadn't the least fear of Happy Jack. In fact. he had al- ways thought of Happy Jack squir- rel as more or less of a coward. He had seen little Chatterer the Red Squirrel drive his big cousin all through the Old Orchard. What he didn't know was that Happy Jack ran. not from fear. but to try to get away from annoyance.
 Up in the nearest tree, Mrs. Happy Jack and the four young Squirrels danced with excitement as they looked on. Over and over rolled Happy Jack and Robber the Rat. They fell off the wall to the ground, but never once did they separate. They bit and kicked and scratched.
 Now. those long front teeth of Happy Jacks are sharp, and Rob- Der the Rat soon found this out His own teeth were sharp. but somehow he couldn't seem to get hold of Happy Jack where he could do much harm. Presently Robbers
