UEYOUR
 CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
Don't Excite ChiId at Nigf

Don't Excite Child at Night
 1T want a story. Tell me a % "f don't know any" said Blliy's father. But I'll play cowboy ana
 This was better still. And per- haps there would be a pillow fight. Billy jumped up and down in his 'sieepers" all ready for a half hour of fun. .
 Mother looked up from. the paper she was reading and re- marked:
 Tt says here in this article that you shouldn't excite little children at bed tlme."
 T won't get excited, mother. Honest, I won't"
 "No?" Mother made big eyes. "why, you're fairly jumping out of your skin this minute, just thinking about it." ..
 q don't see the boy all day" protested his father. Nights the only time we have to get acquaint- ed, isn't 1t, Bill?"
 Yep" said Bill. "Aw. come on, daddy. That old paper doesn't mean anything"
 "When we were kids we used to tear the home down every night. And we slept like tops"
 Well, perhaps that's the rea- son you don't sleep now. You are as nervous as cat"
 The telephone rang. It was the office at the plant asking him to go back. There had been Q wreck and a big shipment destroyed.
 "A wreck!" cried Billy. "A wreck on e railroad. Did the train get smashed?"
 "Yes, e rail split with the cold and the freight went of the track and side-swiped another"
 Billy's mind had caught hold of the wreck. He bore his disap- pointment bravely in this new in- terest. When his father had gone he said, "Mother. let's talk about wrecks. What happens? Do peo- pie get hurt?"
 "Yes, sometimes. Engineers get hurt or killed and firemen and |, brakemen. It Is very dangerous. I am sorry about daddy's order, but I am more sorry for the men on the train. Come on now, dear, It's bed tlme."
 Billy lay and tossed. He couldn't sleep. He hoped out of bed and peered into the darkness out side the window. Somewhere of there two trains lay all smashed up. And maybe men were hurt, too.
 He tiptoed to the bannister and called cautiously. "Mother, what do they do when people get hurt? Is it showing there? And who picks up all the pieces of things?"
 "I thought you were asleep. Walt and I'll come up. You can't lie there in tho dark worrying
 So she came upstairs, turned on the light in his room and sat down on the bed beside him. She told him all about wrecks, leav- ing out gruesome details.
 But when people are hurt" she said, "they get kind doctors right away to fix them all up. There are lots of wrecks where nobody Is hurt. I think those engineers tonight weren't hurt bit. Big wrecking trains go and pick up the pieces.
 Billy asked questions and she answered. Finally he was satis- fled. She went out and soon all was quiet.

 q meant to, but by now it's grown to m epic. He wouldn't have missed tell about 1t and tho epi- sode of kissing Rosie--he lots him self go on that theme. He didn't go into what kept him from the aance the rest of the time. Some other amorous adventure which hos probably forgotten by now"
 Now, hurry, Tom!" she mocked as he started off but he was imper- vious to tho satire and soon emerged, his mind, too, still on the subject.
 "one thing I did enjoy" he add cd with a ehuckle of reminiscent glee, twas my curtain speech. AS 1t happened. they all came upstairs separately and l accompanied each one. Just to be sure everything was 0. k. In your absence. The careful host. that's me-"
 Ntu
 Well, when said good night each one made n little speech about how herve- e-wracking 1t must have been and how well I'd behaved sort of aek-pattihg, you know. But 1t made me sore because each one implied that so far as he. was con cerned, 1t was much ado about nothing. I'd beon brave sort of nitwit. you sec, where any sensible ma. would have known at once that particular person was inno- cent. It irritated mo each time be- cause I know they al did behave badly and there was plenty of rea- son for suspecting each one"
 "They did and there was," agreed Linda. Hope you rubbed 1t in! :"
 "Well. not exactly that. But whom the speech was over--in each case-f thanked him, shook hands solemnly, and said, Good night. I'm glad it's over safely-but lot this bo n lesson to you. Never lose your temperv"

 Was 1t all a fake?"
 "No, he did 1t all right - but years ago. Ho developed that Kind of phobia that can't endure heights wants to jump off and all that: Of course he's nut on his physical prowess but as far as climbing goes he lives on past glories. Even the balcony upset him."
