Loves Reawakening The Story of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy

Whatever she said to him. l don't hnow-of course he told me noth- ing, but it's made him so happy!
 Hes lying there smiling at her picture as if it were her living self. And when l went into the room a few minutes ago-he sent for me he put out his hand and pulled me down so he could whisper to me-he saves his voice always-you know the doctor tells him he must. Oar ling he said--he always has called me that since we were little children together-Darling, you've worried so. 1 want you to know that Tn perfectly happy. Heaven can hold nothing more for me than what l have. It doesn't matter whether go an hour from now or year, I've
 
 never see her living face again, but it doesn't matter. l have the most wonderful memory a man could Fave, and this" he pointed to the portrait. Prom now on, Sister, Darling, don't let anyone besides yourself and the nurse come in here. You're the only one who can understand. the only one l can talk to about her. i've been bad broth CT to you these last months, but now you'Il see. while l stay I'll make It up to you. "
 Mrs. Cosgrove stopped, chokingly, and for few minutes let the tears have their way, while l sat, quiet, knowing tha: only thus could l serve her.

 He meant" she said, that since he and Lillian weren't friends any more he has been so moody and unhappy that he didn't have q pleas ant word for anybody. It was pretty trying for me. for I've always wor- slipped him, but l knew how nc was suffering over Lillian, and I've tried not to mind him. But I could go down on my knees to her for making him so happy. It has seemed to me that I couldn't bear for him to go out into the darkness win that bitter look upon his face. And now it's all gone, thanks to her.
 She wiped her eyes, and sat up- right
 There's something else which ought to say to you now you're here" she said slowly. And yet, l don't know. Roberts left a letter | for me to give you, so perhaps I'd i better wait"

Tools of the Trade

One of the most common tools Of the medical trade is the clinical thermometer, the instrument by means of which the temperature of the body is measured.
 The history of this instrument is checkered. The idea behind it is centuries old, but it's modern form is of recent origin.
 The great Calico invented crude form of thermometer. or thermos- cope, about 1898. It was applied in the early part of the following cen tury to the study of disease by the celebrated Paduan professor, San- ctorius. Despite his successful work, th instrument was neglected by his contemporaries and we do not hear of it for more than a hundred years thereafter.
 In the middle of the eighteenth century we find the clinical ther- mometer once again effectively en- ployed by several physicians in scotland. One of these was James Currie, editor and biographer of the poet Robert Burns, who before be- coming a famous practitioner spent an adventurour period in America. The clinical thermometer even at this time, however, was not cXtcn- sivoly used.
 1 The basic science of thormomctry or heat measurement had to be ad- 1 yanced further before a truly dc pcndable thermometer could be pro- duced, and the basic facts concern ing temperature changes in the body could be gathered. This pro- gross was achieved in 1894 in the work of Lord Kelvin.
 Shortly thereafter the clinical thermometer became common both in hospitals and in private use. The modern small size mercury ther- mometer is the invention of Sir Clifford Allbutt, made in 1868.

SIGNS OF GROWTH By Alice JudsOn Pcale

The person who deals much with parents and children is impressed with the vicious influence upon the parental mind of standards and norms and comparisons.
 How much should my child weigh" What is his intelligence quoticnt?" "Is he normal for his ago. My boy is five, is he as in'- dependent as he should be for his age?'
 "Shouldn't my seven year old be able to do thus and so and so? His little cousin who is half a year younger can do all sorts of things that he can't.'
 Vicious questions, all of them serving only to augment existing difficulties by adding anxiety and worry to the list.
 Measures of all sorts are decep- tive, for human material is infinite ly complex and every child grows differently, qualitatively and quant- itatively from any other.
 For those who deal with many  children in professional way measures have a certain undeniable value. But for mothers and fathers the signs of their child's growth should not be in terms of his own progress and development as con- pared with himself sometime ago. Mothers and fathers were wise to care less how their child measures up to other children and to ask themselves instead what their chit- dren can do today that he could not do a month ago.
 Is he a healthier, happier, strong CT child than he was last year? Has he made progress in relation to his particular faults and weaknesses? :? What pleasures and powers does he enjoy today which were not his a year ago? Are his interests moro varied, more keen, more successful? Has he been increasingly outgroWing | his childish tricks on the way to- ward acquiring self control? These arc significant questions.

Long Gown Fitting Mode For Evening

Paris, March 25.-The general lengthening of line in the new fash- ions is, of course, more noticeable in evening clothes than in those set aside for the daytime. The com- bination of fitted bodice and hips. marked for waistline and accom- panying short wrap, all tend to en- hance this effect.
 Fabric closely applied to the body helps to accentuate the sup pie lines of a gown. This fitted effect usually is extended well over the hips, where the skirt full ness breaks the line. Carried too far,, this sheath would be unbe- coming to most women, even the slimmest.
 A moderately high waistline also is known to make long lines ing to the softness and supple look Of the gown. The fabric may be fitted close to the figure as far ss the waistline, but here again, If the bodice is fitting. bolero effect will invariably be used by the couturier to attenuate it's rather too severe line. The bo- lero therefore plays the same part in the bodice as the fullness in the skirt.
 Short Wrap Complements Mode
 The short evening wrap is an- other logical solving of the prob- lem of a perfect and fitting gar ment to accompany the long, sometimes trailing evening gown. I. creates an impression of slim height, and does not hamper the movements as a long wrap would.
 One Of the characteristics of the new fashions is that every move ment which may, at first sight, ap. pear in the light of an exaggera- ton, carries a compensating fea- ture within itself. Thus. a full l skirted dance frock might risk looking heavy and devoid of grace | if it were worn with a long coat. Hence the logical side of the short ccat. It lends height to the sii- houette and creates a gesture fui! of grace and charm when the uearer draws it closely around her hips and allows full play to the soft draperes of her sometim $ very wide skirt.

Over in the Green Forest, Flip l the Terrier had slipped away from BoWser the Hound. AS fast as his sWift-moving little feet could take him he hurried back to where he had seen Prichly Porky the Porcu- pine When he and Bowser had left there Prickly Porky had been up iT a tree. Flip expected to find him ,p in tree now. He had sone back be- cause he wanted to look Prickly Porky over more thoroughly. You see, Bowser had told him about the thousand little spears that Pricli!y Porky carries on his tail and hidden in the long hair of his coat. Flip wanted to see those little spca,S again. He was curious about them and he wanted to satisfy his curl osity.
 As he approached the tree where they had left Prickly Porky, Flip heard a rustling sound. It came from off to one side. Flip paused and looked that way. He caught d glimpse Of some one moving just lack of a small hemlock tree. Cautiously Flip moved around 10 where he could see better. Once he would have rushed around needless ly, but he had learned that ;h.s was not wise thing to do in the Green Forest. When he reached a polnt where he could see clearly, thera was Prickly Perky shuffling along.
 Flip stood still and watched him for few minutes. Hes the slow est moving fellow l ever saw thought Flip. He doesn't look the least bit dangerous. I can sec what I suppose are those little spears tha- EoWser told me about, but l don't see many, Most of those 1 do sec are on his tail and those are short His coat seems to me to be mostly long hair. He certainly doesn't look dan gerous to me. l believe l could Xiii him without half trying Yes, sir. believe l could kill him in q jiffy,"
 Just then Prickly Porky turned lis head and Flip for the first tim. saw the long, big, front teeth whicr Prickly Porky possesses. Those tec,' looked as if they might hurt. Yes sir. they sure looked as if they migh hurt. Flip was suddenly filled witr respect for those teeth. But wh ef h1 noticed how very slow Pricki. Porky was as he shuffled along, h' thought less about those teeth. LN citement began to take possession 0 Flip There was no log handy 10 Prickly Porky to poke his head un der.

Mrs. Cosgrove Discusses, with Madgc, Her Brothers Amazing Scheme 70 Leave His Wealth to Lillian.

Her Brothers Amazing Scheme 70
 Leave His Wealth to Lillian.
 I laughed at Mary's cNagseration as I guessed she meant me to uo' but when l had left her, l heard the click of the door key, and realized that she was really enough afraid of the vague menace of Jack Leslie to lock her door while was gone. But it was not of the "capering COCK roach" I was thinking as l went ont of the door after listening to Mrs. Hasbrouck's naive account Of the way she had foiled Mary's attempt to go for a stroll, and walked aga'n down the road to the Cosgrove home.
 What was it that Harry under wood feared for Mary which lnaue him lay such stress upon the 1acI that she must not be left alone? l almost turned back as l realized that obeying his injunction to the letter would mean my return to the hasbrouck house immediately and compelling her to come with me. bus I told myself irritably that Mrs. Has brouck was puissant guardian, and went on with the brain flagel- lation impellad by Harry Under woods cautionary directions to me.
 Tears of Joy
 The reason for his prccauuon' | knew, lay in the chase which the man in the black roadster, the man Atr. Underwood had said was q private detective, had given uS Harry had eluded the man with con- summate skill, but he had not given me 8 direct negative when l ha1 asked him if there was any dang 1T of the detectives picking up our trail again. And his explanation Nt the possible reason for the man s espionage had been as lame as It was bizarre. Nevertheless l knew that Harry Underwood would not frighten anyone unless he thought that he must do so. But who, except Jack Leslie. whom MT. Underwood acquitted of this particular cndeav- or could wish to spy upon Mary or to do her harm?
 I was hazily conscious that sone- where deep in one of the files ot my brain lay the answer, if 1 could only concentrate sufficiently upon the matter to bring it out. But with beth heart and brain so obsessed Dy Liilian's problem, I had no mental energy for anything else. With the sensible resolution to keep watch over Mary without bothering about the reason for doing so, I again knocked at the Cosgrove door.
 Mrs. Cosgrove came to the door and I saw that her eyes were rel. With sudden clutch at my throat l put out my hand.
