this WOnnan?'
married to BRUTE in love with man

COMET1MES, Laura wondered if she were
- not in the grip of some terrible nightmare.
But the sight of that tall, lean, scanty-haired
figure, sitting with head hunched down, his
unblinking eyes staring at nothing for hours
on end-never failed to drag her back to reality
Yes this was her homc-this steaming, fever
laden jungle with its brooding loneliness, its
dreaty desolation. And De Lora, that tattered,
whiskey- sodden beast, was her husband. How
could she have ever dreamed that she loved
him-even in those long gone days up in the
States when she had known him as scientist
and had thought him man?

True, she had been little more than child
when she had suocumbed to De Lora;s love-
making, had married him, and had come with
him to the jungles Of Brazil to help him carry

white mans curse of the tfopics-had got into

PLAN TO RING IN
 ANNUAL SEAL SALE
Church Bells May Toll Death
 KnelI Of Tuberculosis
SALE OF MILK IS SOUGHT
Visiting Nurse Committee to Hep Children Who Bring lunchce- Frank Giana Heads Tabs Drum Corps-En@agcmc Announced.

The drive for Christmas seals, 10 be inaugufatcd on Friday of this week. will be runs in, it is hoped, by the bells Of the various Berlin churches. Mrs Henry Hooker, chair man of the sale of Christmas seals ''n the town of Berlin. has learned that a nation wide attempt is plan- ned on Friday m9rning to start the sale of Christmas seals, This will be done in several ways. one of which will be the ringing of church bells throughout the country.
 The yearly sale of Christmas seals has provided money for the Visit ing Nurse committee of the town Of Berlin. which has been used in the past in an attempt to take care Of all of those suffering from, tubcrcu- 'losis. During the past few years the Visiting Nurse committee has taken charge of the distribution of stamps throughout the town, receiving SD per cent Of all of the money collect ed. Formerly a greater part of tn" money obtained from the sale oi Christmas seals went to the national organization and only a small part was returned for local use.
 This year the visiting nurse com- mittcc has planned to help bring the number of cases of the disease down ito a minimum. and it is thought that it will inaUgurate q new plan Wher"- by milk will be served to the pupils Of the KcnsinGtOn grammar school. Tor a long time it has been felt that q room or a lunch counter could be used to a great advantage in the grammar school. Due to the fact that pupils from many distant parts of the town attend the school it is thought that a suitable lunch counter should be provided for them. Up 10 this year il has been impossible to do anything, because the lack Of room in the school prevented the erection of lunch counter. Now it is hoped that it may be possible to help combat the disease by pro- viline milk at least once during the day to the students who bring their lunches from long distances. Some of the expense may be undertak en by the visiting nurse committee with the proceeds of the sale of Christmas seals.
