 An ln>istent Request
 'Is it possible? ?T Mir. Verltzcn asked, hts voice uncertain, hesitant, lis there any place where I could be alone for a little while? This -this-has meant SO much to me that I do not want 10 see-people -'or i little while. But the rest or you must go Of course"
 They'll be in here, Of course" I sad, but there's q little room off thls which I use as a sort of domes- tic office.

 There was assurance in his voice and something else. elusive but un- mistakable. 1 had feared it ever since he had mistaken my cry that I could not bear it." to mean that my disappointment in him meant more to me than my concern for Noel and Mary.

 So Billy Mink waited q short dis tance from that tussock. He didn't have to wait long. In fact it was only q few minutes before Sunny appeared and climbed out on that tussock. Instantly Billy saw that one leg was missing This would make 1t all the easier for him to kill Stumpy. At least this Is what Billy Mink thought. Before Billy had q chance 10 attack, Stumpy diyed with q splash that was q sig nal Of alarm He had caught the fresh odor of Mink and wisely had not waited to try to find out where that Mink vas.
 Instantly Billy Mink leaped for ward and dived after Stumpy He was just in time to discover which way Stumpy was going and follow ed swiftly. Just as Stumpy reached the underwater entrance 10 the hole in the bank, Jerry Muskrat came out, Stumpy passed him and enter ed. Like flash Jerry turned and followed. He had seen Billy Mink and he was far too wise 10 fight Billy in the open water. He knew that there he would be 10 match for quick moving Billy Mink,

FroStbite Treatment

The severe forms of frostbite re- quire expert medical handling Time should not. however. be wasted, and while waiting first-aid treatment should be administered.
 The apparently logical thing 10 do for frostbite is 10 warm the af- fected part. This is correct, but ito warm must be understood in rela- tive sense.
 Heat should not be applied. It would induce too sudden q reaction, leading, possibly, to further injury of the frozen part
 The tissues should rather be thaw- ed out In mild frostbite, that is, in chilblains, the part should be gently rubbed, and cloths wrung out of cold water should be applied. These should be alternated every few min- utes, the water becoming increasing- ly warmer.
 When plisters have formed the skin should not be rubbed. The 6 punctured with a sterile needle, and the accumulated serum should be all lowed to escape.
 The skin covering Of the blister should be left in place. In punctur- ing a blister the needle should be inserted at the rim rather than at the top. Cold applications then should be used as with chilblains.
 When normal circulation has been re-estabiishod, and this may be judged by the color of the affected part. absorbent cotton or flannel cloth may be applied
 In addition to local treatment the patient should be given hot drinks, consisting of coffee, tea, or choco- late. Alcohol is to be avoided.
 In more severe forms of exposure, pneumonia is a possible complica- ton. The patient therefore should be put to bed, and kept warm and quiet

Billy Mink.

Billy Mink.
 Billy Mink was feeling out of sorts. To begin with ha wasn't find ing if easy 10 get enough 10 eat. IL had been all right until the arrival Of Little Joe Otter. Yes, sir, it had been all right up 10 that time. Billy had had no trouble in getting all the fish he wanted. Now 1T was diff fercrt. Little Joe had made that difference. Little Joe Otter is even more Of fish eater than Billy Mink and hing much bigger he re- quir-s much more at q time Billy is a good fisherman, but Little Joe is 3 better one. Billy Mink can swim fast. but Little Joe can swim faster. The result was that Little Joe was getting the biggest and tattest fish and Billy was having hard work to get any ar all.
 If l can't get a meal by fishing I'll have to go hunting" said Billy as he ran along the edge Of the Laughing Brook. T wish Little Joe Otter would keep away from here. I don't see why he had to come back just now. Times are hard enough at best in the middle of winter. I wonder how Jerry Musk rat IS getting along down in the Smiling Pool He and Mrs. Jerry had a lot or children last sumner. l wonder if any Of them are still living in the Smiling Pool A dinner of young Muskrat would taste rath- CT good. Jerry and Mrs, Jerry are old and tough Besides, either Of them would put up hard fight and killing one would hardly be worth the effort. But young Muskrat would be different. The more think of II the more a Muskrat din ner appeals to me. Anyway, it won't do any harm to go down there and have a look around. If Little Joe Otter hasn't been there it may be that I will find some fish in the Smiling Pool"
 So Billy Mink headed for the Smiling Pool. He passed Little Joe Otter's slippery slide, but Little Joe was nowhere to be seen. He reach ed the open water just above the Smiling Pool. There he examined the tussock on which Stumpy, the three-lefged young Muskrat, de- lighted to sit. His nose told him that a Muskrat came there every day and that that Muskrat was a young one. He was big but young, and this meant that he was lacking in experience. Billy's eyes bright encd.
 T ought not to have much trou- ble with this fellow" he muttered. q wonder where he is living. If

mer when no one was at home. As he approached that bedroom he stopped. The entrance was quite filled by very angry and very de- termined Muskrat with set of strong, sharp teeth which he vas srapping together in d most un- pleasant manner. There was no room here to turn and twist as Billy loves 10 do. Right then and there he lost his appetite. He changed his mind. Muskrats were no longer of interest to him. With out a word he turned and left.

Maoias. ~ year old Mexican cit
i2on, was dropped to his death
through the gallows trap here at
5:0l this morning.
Nine minutes later the prison ply
scian pronounced him dead.
The state took his life for the
murder of two of his cOuntrymen
Pedro Ornelas and Julian de Luna,
during a quarrel over girl at Nor
enei. Ariz., on January Is, 1929.
With the same calm he had main
tanned since first charged with the
double staying, Macias walked from
his cell to the gallows and allowed
his arms to be strapped to his sides.
He remained silent when asked if
he had anything to say.
Only few more witnesses than
the state requires saw him hand a
Letter to the warden before mount
ing the lS steps to the gallows.
A slow smile crept over his face
as ne rcacneU tnc top. lHtu tHe
black hood was slipped over his
head.
As Warden Lorenzo Wright raised
his hand, Macias fell through the
trap.
When the gruesome routine of the
hanqine was finished, Warden
WRIGHT opened the letter Macias had
written.
In it the condemned man showed
resentment toward certain Mexican
officials for not saving his life. He
said he gave one of them $500 to
secure freedom, and that he believed
more could have been done to help
him.
Against this Charge was tho
