"He goes all TO pieces, sometimes.
and is just like a babyi" said the
nurse, much as a mother might say
1t, and then, also as a mother might
do. she patted his wrist in an alb
sent-minded. affectionate manner.
And ballard, standing q little to
one side. but ever watchful. saw II
all, and said to himself: "She's
playing a part-and playing it well.
And so is he!"
At sight OF the little act IN It's
real life setting, Pat, for an instant,
seemed undecided. Then she cried
out stubbornly:
Take him back again, DoctorI
Rex ballard is right-there's some
thing strange going on herel ! want
you to take this young man in the
other and make another ex-
animation! You won't need to use
the x-ray. I fancy! Just an exter-
Tor examination will be enough,
I'm sure. VIII you doctor?"
For just a moment her old family
physician seemed inclined to be an
CRY at her request. He looked at
her IS Il he thought she ought to
be spanked instead Of sympathized
with. Before he could make up his
mind how to act. Maxwell settled
the matter for him.

his sauve, smooth tones, the very
essence OF good nature. Give jim
my another going over. She's evi-
IDENTIFY been living in Missouri, and
has 10 be shown twice!"
At his ready acquiescence to her
demand, Pat seemed for a moment
to be surprised. She flashed q quick,
inquiring look at him, appeared
about TO make some retort, and
then changed her mind. The next
moment they were back in the re-
ception room.
Again the nurse. with her still
weeping charge. and the doctors, re-
paired 70 the X-ray room. The ex-
animation, this time, was Of brief
duration. In less than three min
utes the door again opened, and DR..
Gardner came out into the recep-
ton room. His face wore a frown
Of veXation.
well, I hope. as Nj. Maxwell
said, that you're satisfied now, Pa
tricia!" he raped out im~patiently
I'd know that scar, as / told you
under any kind of conditions. The
young man is your brother, Jimmy
You may rest assured on that point
The pitiful outcome Of her second
attempt to prove her claim seemed
TO leave Patricia Blair without the
will to fight any longer. That il
had been a big surprise and disap-
pointment was clearly manifest in
her face and manner. Her eyes now
wore something Of a dazed look
During the brief exchange OF
words between DR.. Gardner and
Pat, the nurse. with her charge, who
was now whimpering softly, came
out into the reception room, where
the others all stood waiting, every
face wearing a question mark.
At the conclusion Of the doctors
announcement Pat turned and
looked steadily for a moment at the
young man whom, she had been
5sured in no uncertain terms. was
her brother. Then she stepped ur
close to him and put her hand on
his arm.
DO you remember me-Jin-ny?"
she asked. softly. with Just q faint
hesitation before speaking his name.

HOW ASTAR SPECTRUM is
PROCURED

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
Bright sunshine passed through
any prism will cast bright rainbow
colors on the wall. But not 50 with
starshine, for starlight is too dim.
And here Is where the telescope
serves a supreme purpose: The tele-
scope gathers I'D a vast amount OF
light from a star, focalizing II at
a given point. that point being
known as the focal plane. The
s-pectroscope Is set IN that focal
plane, and thus by the great mag
nifying power Of the telescope, a
colornand or spectrum Is produced
by the spectroscope. A spectroscope
built In combination with a cam
era. Is known as q spectrograph.
