BIRTH
. PLAN LAUDED

Four local hospitals and several
score of Washington physicians
lndorse and recommend the eff
ficacy of the "Gwathmey tech
mic" of painless childbirth, which
is said to be effective in SO per
cent of cases. The hospitals are
Garfield, Sibley, Washington
Sanitarium and Hospital, and
George Washington.
The method, which physicians
have been slow to accept, has
gained considerable ground in
Washington, it was learned, and
one prominent obStetrician con-
nected with the Sibley Hospital,
declared today that he had used
the method in five cases in one
night.
Discovered by DR.. J. T Gwath-
mey in 1923, the method is said
to relieve pain by producing a
state of analgeSia, in which the
patient loses sensation Of pain,
while still remaining conscious.
This effect is produced by a
VI IIldBllScAAAlAA
and morphine which prolongS the
period in which the patient feels
no pain.
A synergiSm is a combination Of
drugs which enhance each other $
effect while not increasing each
others poiSOnS.
The method. which recently
came to the attention of laymen
through the efforts of Mrs. Con
stance L. Todd, a Washington
woman, who wrote book entitled
"EaSier Motherhood" is inexpen-
sive and does not require the
services of a special anesthetic.
First introduced eight years
ago by DR.. Gwathmey after years
of study, the method has met
with some opposition from physi-
clans who declare that pain relief
is not essential.

tol and advises him to perfect
himself in craftsmanship. Jeems
gives Toinette Tonteur a present
which Hepsibah had furnished
for that purpose. Jeems fights
with Paul Tache, cousin of TOM
cite. Jeems apologies TO Toinette
for brawling in front of her. The
Tonteurs go TO Quebec, where
Toinette is to be educated. Four
years pass. War between Britain
and France flames. Returning
from hunt, Jeems finds his
home in flames, and his father
and mother slain.

But he was not thinking that.
The part of him conscious of the
act was working unknown to the
faculties which made him move

telling him the same things, until
their repetition became a droning
in his brain. His mother was
dead back there. His father was
dead. Indians with English hatch
cts had killed them, and he must
carry the word to Tonteur.
Thought which had been wrecked
and beaten until now possessed
him with a flame behind it that
began to burn fercely but which
seemed 20 give no heat or excite
ment to his flesh. Only his eyes
changed, until they were those of
a savage, tiinty in their hardness
and without depth in which one
might read his emotions. His face
was white and passlonless, with
lines caught and etched upon it as
if in bloodless stone. He looked
at the Ratchet again, and Odd
heard the gasp which came from
his lips. The Ratchet was voice
telling him things and gloating in
the story il had to tell. It made
him think more clearly and
pressed on him an urge for eau
ton As he drew nearer to Ton
,teur manor, the instincts of self
preservation awoke in him. They
did not make him leave the open
trail or travel less swiftly, but his
senses became keener, and uncon-
seiously he began to prepare him
self for the physical act of venge-
ance
To reach Tonteur was the first
obligation in the performance of
this act. Tonteur still had few
men who had not gone with Dies
kau, and as Jeems recalled the
firing of guns, a picture painted
itself before his eyes. The MUIR
derers of his father and mother
had swung eastward from Forbid
den valley, and the seigneur,
warned by Hepsibah's fire, had
met them with loaded muskets.
He had faith in Tonteur and did
not question what had happened
in the bottom lands. Before this
no doubt had crossed his mind as
to Hepsibah's fate. The English
hatchets had caught him, some
where, or he would have come
during the long night when he
and Odd had watched alone with
death. But now a forlorn and
scarcely living hope began to rise
in his breast as he came to Ton
tours lillian unreasoning thought
that something might have driven
his Uncle Hepsibah to the Rich

his signal fire, he had hurried to

finding his people there. His father

TOINETTE was alone when she
L aWoke from the unconscious
ness which had come to ease the
anguish of her mind and body. 1t
seemed to her she was coming out
of sleep and that the walls which
dimly met her eyes were those of
her bedroom in the manor. That
a truth whose evidence lay so hor-
ribly about her could be reality
and not a dream broke on her
senses duly at first and then with
swift understanding. She sat up
expecting to see Jeems. But he
was gone. She was no longer
where she had fallen at her
enemy's feet. But Jeems had
made resting place for her of
empty bags and must have car
ried her to it. She shivered when
she looked at the musket and the
stain of blood on the floor. She
had tried to kill him. And he had
gone away-leaving her alivele
AS had happened to Jeems,
something was burned out of her
now. 1t had gone in the sea of
darkness which had swept over
her, and she. rose with an unemo-
tional calmness, as if the tower
room with its dust and cobwebs
and store of ripened grain had be-
come her cloister. Passion had
worn itself away. If a thought
could have slain, she would still
have wreaked her vengeance on
Jeems, but she would not have
touched the musket again that lay
on the floor.
She went to the head of the
stairs and looked down. The son
of the English woman had left no
sign except the drip of blood that
made q trail on the steps and out
of the door, Exultation possessed
her as she thought how nearly
she had brought to the Bulains
the same shadow of death which
they and their kind had brought
to her. The thrill was gone in a
moment. The red drops fascinated
her, painted brightly by the sun.

edging Of crimson sumac, a path

of the hill where they had always
paused to gaze over the wonder
land WHICH had been given by the
king of France to the stalwart
vassal Tonteur.
Jeems emerged at this point

terrible than the painted savages.
She struck until the weight of
the musket exhausted her and
she dropped it. Then she snatched
weakly at the hatcher in Jeems'
hands, and his fingers relaxed
about the helve. With cry of
triumph, she raised it, but before
the blow could descend she sank
in a crumpled heap upon the floor.
Even then her almost unconscious
lips were whispering their denun-
ciation.
He knelt beside her and sup
ported her head in his unwounded
arm. For a moment il lay against
his breast. Her eyes were closed,
her lips were still. And Jeems,
sick from her blows, remembered
his mothers God and breathed u
prayer of gratitude because of her
deiverance.
Then he bent and kissed the
mouth that had cursed him.
