the thought failed to comfort her.
 She had rehearsed the same ar- guments the night before. Lying, wide-eyed. in the darkness, she had pictured again the scene with Vicky. She had gone over all that Brian had said ';unday- fragmentary sentences that bcd seemed so precious hen. Why had he said them? Why had he said. T love you, Gale. think I've loved you since the first time I saw you"
 Why? Because Steve had been right about Brian, and she had been wrong. Because she was Q mill girl and Brian found fl amusing to pretend he cared for her. Silly of her to suppose it had been more than that for one moment.
 Brian hadn't said, "I love you, Gale. and .want to marry you" Not to her. He'd said that to Vicky Thatcher who belonged to his own world, whom everyone expected him to marry.
 Well, she had learned. She felt humbled, humiliated. And there was more to it than that. She had really cared for Brian Vest more-or for the man she had thought Brian Westmore to be. She had dreamed

 Coming home that evening she heard call from across the street and halted as the smallest of the O'Connors came flying to- ward her. He wore a coat sev- eral sizes too large, its sleeves dangling almost to the ground. His knitted cap was damned over his forehead, but he threw his head far back, staring up at her with blue, appraising eyes. The smallest O'Connor grasped at Gales coat with bare. grimy hands and said impatiently, "Thay when ith he comin back 2"
 "When is who coming back?"
 "You know! The man who doeth thwicks."
 "Oh!' The chilly hand clutched Gales heart again. It was mo- ment before she found her voice. Then she said, "I don't know, Tommy. I-I don't know, when he's coming back" :,
 "But I want to thee him! LOOK he thaid it wath like thith-

 "He thaid-" The youngster began attempting to demonstrate the puzzle, but Gale put hand on his shoulder.
 I'm sorry, honey,'.' she said, but I've got to go in the house now. I've got to get supper. Some other time you can show me how the trick goes"
 But the youngster was ada- mant. "No." he said. "t'th that man want to thee. Youl him to come back here. l twied over and over and l cant get It wight. You tell him."
 Gale sought escape. "Maype Phil knows how to do It. she said. Hell be coming any mln- ute now"
 The child shook his head. "1tth that man l want to thee." he re- pentcd.
 From the rear of the O'Connors' house a shrill voice called, Tom meei oh, Tom-mee"
 That's your mother" Gale said. You mustn't keep her waiting"
 The shrill cry was repeated.

PROTECT YOUR LAMB
 AGAINST MARCH COLD
Freezes Are Apt to Lead to

March is taking time by the forelock and stepping up in line before February has quite blown out, March is no sissy. He is tough and rough and deceitful, the out law month, the black-sheep and the villain.
 And wouldn't this step-son of the war god come along at the, very time of the year when most Of us are the least prepared?
 We feel so safe with that tang of spring in the air. The gener- ous patches of deep-blue sky fool ing us into thinking that Pluto has released Prosperpine and Ceres is herself again.
 The kids leave their helmets under the radio and run out bare headed into the wind-kites get their annual exercise and marbles play grace-notes against the cor ner fence. Base balls are spit up- on and bats go smacking their prey into space. Stone steps ana even the ground offer new allure. Just more traps of Enemy March to do his stuff.
 Resistance Is Low. He blows all the dirty winter dust into the babies eyes and mouths and ears. Each dust par ticle, be sure, is a miniature air plane for goodness-knows-what germ.
 Physically, almost the whole pack of us are low in resistance. There may have been compensa- tions for the absent sun in the way of cod-lived oil tonics, but as rule only the little tads get 1t. Anyway winter has left many chil- dren with a resistance average be- low normal and that's fact.
 So don't let's get careless for a while. Above all watch the wind. Plain cold doesn't hurt anyone If he keeps dry and is warmly dress ed, but windy, dusty weather, and windy damp weather, warm or cold. is dangerous.
 For one thing, mothers. ears and throats are vulnerable just now, especially if children have kept thclr ears muffied all winter out doors. DoK't allow them to go out unprotected now. Those with tendency to ear, throat or sinus trouble need to be extra-carefuliy watched. Any tendency to pain or oOEcHCSS peIlHu dI CdI o doctors eye and verdict at once, even though you may know how.to cope with other simpler symptoms from past experience.
 Colds Start Worse Ills.
 Common colds are peg on which March loves to hang his head-gear while he gets in dirtier work. So make the children take care of themselves, wise mother. and don't stand for nonsense,
 Clean handkerchiefs or the soft sanitary tissues now in use, should be part of every child's equipment each day, cold or no cold.
 The right way to give simple in case of infection can quickly be explained by your doctor. The right way to gargle with saltwater or whatever you use for either sore throat or it's prevention can easily be leaned by any child of four or over. There is Q time and a place for the doc tor. but always give the benefit of the. least little doubt to the doc tor.
 Watch little babies in their prams. Keep them sheltered from dust. They are closer to the street with it's unseen enemies than you, how General March that you have outsmarted him once again. Copyright 1885, NEA Service, Inc.

SYNOPSIS

n
 GALE HENDERSON. pretty and 23, works in q silk mill. She and her 1o-year-OId brother, PHIL, support their invalid fa- liner.
 STEVE MEYERS, who also works fin the mill, asks Gale to marry him. She premises to give him an answer in a few weeks.
 Gale goes skating, breaks through the ice and Is rescued by BRIAN WESTMORE, whose father, now dead. built the mill, Brian has come home after two years in Paris to enter the mill. Gale disappears before he can learn her name.
 VICKY THATCHER, daughter of ROBERT THATCHER, gem ernI manager of the mill, schemes to captivate Brian.
 Gale and Steve quarrel, later make up.
 Vicky tells Brian she wants to get acquainted with the mill workers, on the pretense of help- 1ng them. He is pleased, agrees tO take her to sec Gale. Next evening they call.
 Alone with Gale, Vicky tells her that she, Vicky, and Brian are engaged to bc married.
 Brian comes back after Vicky 1as gone, but Gale refuses to talk to him.
 CHAPTER XXXIII q "Please--'' she said, T wish you'd go away!"
 But Gale-T
 twill you please go?"
 She heard the door close for the second time.
 The amazing fact to Gale was that everything went on next day, just as 1t had. The sun shone bright ly. Birds were singing as she walk ed to work-sharp, shrill notes that were a mockery. Two girls, stand ing beside Gale in the cloak room laughed and joked as they hung away their coats and hats.
 Iu was all just as 1t had been the day before.
 And yet, how could 1t be? How could there be laughter and gaiety in the world? How could any thing be the same when for Gale there was only blankness and emptiness everywhere? Standing before the pounding machines staring at the blur of moving hands and jerking ,bobbins. Gale saw Vicky Thatcher again, draw ing her beautiful fur coat around her. She heard Vicky saving. in low pitched even tones, Its sup posed to be secret but |. Brian and I arc going to be mar ried. In June sometime. l think June weddings are the incest. don't you?'
 Yes, 1t was true-not a night mare, not a hideous, fantastic ere ation of imagination that could be brushed aside and forgotten. Vicky had sat in the Hendersons' sha bby living room and said those words. She and Brian were going to be married.
 Something tight clutched about Gales heart, making her cold all over. She thought, "It's going to be like this from now on, It will always be like this
 Once during that terrible, end- lesS night Gale had pressed her hapds together and buried her face in the pillow, sobbing in a smothered voice, T can't go on! I can't"
 But she knew that she could. People did, somehow. People all over the world who were suffering and broken hearted, for whom brief visions of happiness had suddenly shattered. managed to piece together their broken lives once more.
 Gale thought, "It's better to know 1t now. l ought to be glad 1t happened this way"

WATCH THE CHILDREN CHI

WATCH THE CHILDREN CHEW
 Mrs F. J. noticed that Joyce did not use the left side of her mouth while chewing food. A dental examination revealed that a badly decayed tooth was causing the one sided chewing.
 Unfortunately, few parents real ize that baby teeth require careful attention and treatment. They may be aware of the probability that 8 baby tooth might cause pain but the other dangers are not so well known.
 First. 1t is a fact that diseased baby teeth are menace to the child's health. When abscessed, {, such tooth will pour disease germs into the blood circulation and probably cause some systemic ailment.
 Second, a sore baby tooth that interferes with chewing flinders the development of the jaw and face. Experiments and investigation have proved that the proper growth of jaw bone and facial muscles are influenced by normal chewing and that lack of chewing means lack of normal facial growth.

 Cows or goats milk contains 5 or 6 per cent of lactose, milk sugar. Formerly lactose, sugar of milk, was much used for modifying cows milk for infant feeding. but in recent years other sugars have been widely exploited for this pur. pose, and not only physicians but mothers have acquired the notion that other sugars are better than milk sugar for one reason or an- other. There Is little real evidence that milk sugar, cane sugar or corn syrup (glucose) is not quite as de- sirable in every way for the pur- pose.

Tommy looked up at Gale sor- rowfully. "All wight" he said. "Tll go, but I'm comin' back! want to thee that man"
 Gale hurried up the walk and into the house.
 It was Brian whom Tommy wanted to see Brian with his tricks to amuse youngsters; his gay. fattering speeches that were tricks. too.
 She opened the door and called 8 greeting to her father. then went into the kitchen and meth odically began preparing the even- ing meal.

She got out newspapers and cut collar pattern. fitting 1t about Josies shoulders. She pinned the paper collar into place and Josie considered berself in the mirror and seemed pleased. She said. Gee.

 Gale was cutting the silk. care full to keep the edges even. !t just takes practice she said. Ut ism t hard after you've had 't- tie practice"

 She drew her needle in and out of the silk. taking minute. invisi- ble stitches. She had the bind ing on one half of the collar when Josie cut in sharply:

New Mode First Sign of Season

ALTHOUGH the robin is "A the orthodox first sign of spring, the appearance of capes this year will be sure proof that winter is long gone. After several sea- sons of practical extinction, all the smart early birds are appearing on the scene in this flattering type of wrap. Two rather fiippant examples of short cape ensembles are shown in t h e sketch. These These are both designed for the younger set and their im- pertinance should be snubbed by the oldsters.

LONDON, July 27.-The assertion
that United States isolation will doom
collective peace efforts is contained in
a non-partisan program Of political
action presented today by 15S leading
British economists, publicists and
writers.
THE importance of American CO.
operation in the work of making

writer's said in sponsoring new FIVE
year recovery program closely re-
sembling Lloyd Georges New Deal

When we consider how powerful
are the forces making for explosion
and how imperfect as yet the collective
peace system remains. We are forced td
recognize that there will be little
chance of a peaceful evolution if the
United States stands isolated"
Among the bolder points advocated
in the program, published in book

economics, a low tariff club in foreign
