The doctor studied an instant.
II think he has more chance than
he has had all week. Yes. we're
going to do all that we can and
we're going to hope"
Judith's hand went to her mouth.
She turned her back so that neither
the man nor the boy could know
what emotion was written on her
face. Her shoulders shook slightly
but when she turned about again
her self-control had returned.
"Doctor-when are you going to
let me see my father?"
We'll e about that tomorrow"
DR.. Sheppard told the boy. "You
ought to be in bed now. Go on!
Both Of you." he added sternly.

The weary physician took his de-

"Your room is Just as you left
It," she said to him. II think you'll
find everything you want there"
Are you going to stay here all
night?"
Judith Knight was very tired but
she did not realize the fact. That
peculiar antitoxin which the body
itself produces at times to carry
mortals through periods Of stress
and strain when their strength Is
taxed superhumanly was at work.
She could not sleep. She had slept
but q scant dozen hours in the last
three days. And still she wanted
to be near while Arthur knight lay
in danger.
I'm not sleepy" she said. '1but

Guess I'll wait. too" Junior told
her. He settled himself once more
In his chair. Within half an hour
Junior was asleep and Judith
tucked q robe about him just as
she had Tony.

The nurse was smiling.
"Resting!" she whispered. "Oh.
Mrs. Knight-I'm so glad! There's
every chance now"
The door closed and Judith
moved away. Her blue eyes were
starry.
Suddenly It came to Judith
Knights consciousness that she
was cold and . little weary. She
sought the guest room. which she
was using now az her bedroom,
changed her frock for . flannel
wrapper and lay down to sleep.
At nine o'clock she was awake.
She bathed and dressed quickly
and went downstairs. Passing the
living room door she noted that
both Tony and Junior were still
well wrapped In their blankets and
slumbering quietly.
No one was In the dining room

and Mrs. Wheeler looked up ~ the
door opened.

"Now. Mrs. knight, you're going

You're tuckered out! Why. that
little white face Of yours Is pitiful.
It's got SO thin. Just give Cora Is
minutes and she'll have toast and
eggs ready"
Judith's faint protests were
brushed aside. Before she could
be persuaded to sit down at the
table, however, she had received q
second report from the sick room.
Miss Mallory said. in response to
Judith's knock. that the patients

Knights improvement was slow
but continued. DR.. Shephard's
calls dropped to once q day. Judith
and the children were allowed to
come into his room each afternoon.
Sometimes Arthur knight opened
his eyes and looked at them. Some,
times he did not. He made no
effort to speak.
Gradually Judith was permitted
to spend more and more time with
her husband. When the luncheon
hour arrived. instead Of dining
from a tray Miss Mallory took to
going downstairs to eat with Tony
and Junior while Judith stayed
with the patient.
Though there was nothing which
she could do for Arth-r these mo.

Hopes and Tears in Agony Column

In the back Of some magazines there is found an old
come from all over the globe. In a single issue there are
notices from places as far apart as Ohio, Oklahoma,
Hawaii and Scotland. Usually they are addressed to some
person who has suffered an attack Of the wandering foot
and strayed from the family circle without leaving his
address.
Each personal published reveals some phase Of the Diff
ficult drama attendant on most human relationships.
Some plead for the return Of the lost; some threaten, and
some are merely reproachful. A son writes to his father
thus:

MT. Mahoney is the only person who has ever accomplished this feat. Second in command of the comedy is William Demarest whose humor goes far as a laugh creator. Then there are The Three Sailors with their sensational acrobatic dances and clever quips which add so much to the hilarious proceedings.

AMOS 'N ANDY
 AT THE STRAND
Popular Radio Comedians Here
 for Four Days

Contrary to the usual conception of Amos 'n' Andy dialogue, familiar to millions of people in the English speaking world. radios greatest stars have two distinct dialects which they combine in their radio skits.
 It is particularly noticeable in their first all-talking motion picture. "Check and Double Check" pro- duced by Radio Pictures to be shown at the Strand theater, four days be- ginning Sunday.
 The real Amos m Andy dialect is a variant of negro dialect. It is a character dialect of a very definite nature, and most of the words were invented by the famous comedians. Their use is the key by which count less millions of people have been able to obtain by radio alone a clear picture of these famous masters of entertainment.
 Some of these coined words are used by both Amos IT Andy. Others are used by only one of them. It is Andy, for instance. who reckless ly invents and misuses big words the bigger the better! That puts over the idea of his braggart, anus ingly aggressive nature.
 There are other words that only the kingfish uses.
 On the other hand. the second division of the Amos n Andy dia- lect is very simple, aggerated negro dialect. It consists of a few characteristic mispronunciations such as de" for the"
 It is by accent alone, rather than by this mildly African dialect, that Amos n Andy establish beyond a doubt, when heard over the radio, their portrayal of negro characters. Incidentally Amos (Freeman r. Gosden) and Andy (Charles J. Cor relD do not use either accent or dialect in private life.
