IaUIler Where 1t hurts, So11--
ATO-don't touch hirn!" Nan
~ cried out sharply. For she
was not deceived. She knelt beside
the bed, took one of the limp little
hands in hers and searched the be-
loved face with wide, terrified eyes.
And as she watched, the childs
eyes slowly grew vacant, then the
lids futtered, chung together.
Asleep" Morgan whispered, tip
toeing to the head of the bed.
Nan shook her head. "Uncon-
sciouS -. Oh, John! There's no
need to whisper now!" she cried
desparingly. won't the doctor ever
Gomez"
In less than IS minutes DR.. Black
was there. Waving aside their ter
rif1ed, broken explanations, the
doctor took the childs pulse and
temperature, and made a swift alb
dominal examination. Then he
turned CURLY to Nan and requested
her to repeat what she had been
trying to tell him.
He was screaming with pain, his
abdomen was hard and rigid as
drum and Notwithstanding he
was like this" Nan told him.
"Ruptured appendix. I believe
DR.. Drew will confirm my diagnosis
when he gets here. Ought to arrive
any minute now. I told him it
was probably appendicitis 60. While
we're waiting, want you to have a
lot Of water on the range. Wait!
I'll go down with you-get things
started"
"What-things?" Morgan asked
with white, stiff lips.
Emergency operation" DR.. Black
answered CURLY. "It would be muir
der to put him in an ambulance to
take him to a hospital. Will have
to be operated on here-unless, of
course, DR.. Drew disagrees with my
diagnosis"
The faint hope which Nan and
her husband snatched at in those
last words of the doctors was quick
~ slain, for DR.. Drew, thin man
with cold blue eyes and hair so fair
as to be almost white, confirmed
DR.. Blacks opinion within three
minutes of his arrival. While DR..
Drew was teIephoning to the near
est hospital for an anesthetician
and a nurse, Nan beckoned her
stricken husband to follow her out
of the room. Outside the child's
door she faced him resolutely, her
voice steady with the calmne5s of
despair:
60 for Iris, John. She has a
right to be here now"
And thus it was that Iris Nor
gan returned to the home, the hus-
band and the child whom she had
deserted just one year before.
But Nan, with the child she loved
lying upon the kitchen table as an
improvised operating table, had no
room in her heart or mind for real
ization of the irony Of Iris return
at her own bidding. She felt abso-
lutely nothing as she saw her hus-
band trudge heavily up the stairs
with his former wife's suitcase in his
left hand and his right arm about
Iris shuddering shoulders. What
did anything matter now, if Curtis
was to die?
"Oh, Godl" Nan prayed, "don't
let him die! If I've been wicked,
trying to keep him and John from
her, I'll do anything-give them
up gladly, if you'll only let Curtis
live!"
In her extremity, Nan did not
realize that she was insulting God
by assuming His partisanship for
the wicked, rather than the good. e.

But Nan had learned enough tc
make her almost faint with horror.
The abdomen was like a drum -

appendicitis herself.
There was no time to be lost. AL
though the child gasped out a plea
for her to stay, Nan stumbled down
stairs to chop ice. The ice bag,
snatched from a drawer of the hall

When they re-entered the room

 "The chief hope of France is no. that she will be able to sell repara. tions bonds in money markets other than her own, but that she will be able to exchange reparation bonds for her own government bonds low in the hands of her citizens. By this conversion process. she would reduce her debt and hre interest charges.
 Credit conditions are unfavorabla in the United States and England for floating cash issues of repara- tions bonds in large quantities, but In France the situation Is difreret. The practical embargo which the French government maintains upon the export Of French capital has bullt up in France huge financial resources which could absorb large amounts of cash reparation issues"

GO BEYOND MURRAY BAY
 ON AUTOMOBILE JOURNEY
MT. and Mrs. Ray C. Young Pene- tratc to Far Point in Canada
 Leaves Turning,

A journey of 11S miles northea st of Quebec, farther north than Mur- ray Bay which was used as the ha se of operations by Lieutenant Carl & Dixon when taking supplies to the Bremen fliers after they landed on dreenly island, has been. completed by Mir and Mrs. Ray c. Young of this city, who have returned from a motor trip along the St. Lawrence river.
 They drove to Montreal and pro- ceeded eastward and north along the river, passing through Quebec and St. Anne de Beaupre and 94 miles beyond St. Anne.
 They report the scenery we'll worth the trip, but the weather was so cold that even frosts were noted in that section and much of the foliage has had it's usual fall change of color. Leaves are falling off trees.
 The roads are in fairly good con- dltlons. although Mr. Young reports that at one place, near St. Joachim, the road was so steep Tt would have been easier to climp up ladder and pull the car after us." The trip was so mountainous that engines over- heated even with the temperature almost to the freezing point.
 The arrangements of the country was so peculiar that they were con- going from high mountain peaks to sea level and up another peak.
 They stopped for a short time at on Murray Bay.

Herman Adler's, of Adler's' Silk Shop, silhouette appeared in THE NEWSPAPER-TH NEW BRIT- AIN HERALD-last Saturday anl evidently everybody was too busy to send in an answer. Its just too bad that some of the editors old friends idn't take Il shot at the dollar and give MT, Ad- Ter some advertising. Have you mo- ticed that the silhouettes are be- coming more difficult? The editor was talking with Cyril Curtin the other day the first time since he was married, and he tells yours truly, the only way to get along is to live up to his auto license num- Der. The number, by the way, is "5o-5o.' There's really no reason for telling folks that but it contri- butes toward a local tone to this column. and convinces you that the editor hasn't been import ed from some great metropolitan daily just to write this dandy feature for THE NEWSPAPER.
