bodies from time to time with
warm olive oil, would change the
top covering blanket in the basket
with warm fresh one which
Jim's trembling fingers held out.
DR.. Luke and Nurse Kennedy
moved in a shuttle-like manner
from the basket near the stove
into the curtained alcove to at
tend the mother, and back to the
basket. Mrs. Wyatt, while coming
through the ordeal in remarkably
line condition, required constant
care, and the faint cries from the
basket were a reminder that the
babies, too, could not be left alone
for a moment.
Gradually their cries grew more
insistent. Look here, Jim," said
DR.. Luxe abruptly. We've got to
have two things-an eye-dropper
and a hot-water bottle. How long
would it take you to get into town,
get 'em, and bring 'em back?
These babies lives may depend on
how fast you can do it,"
Ought to do it under an hour"
said Jim, already half into his
coat. In a jiffy he was out the
door and the roar of a motor was
heard. Through the night, bounc-
ing dangerously over the narrow,
rutted road, went Constable Og-
den.

man who has just received a
physical blow. But whatll do?

miserably.

of the alcove.
Constable Ogden cleared his
throat. He was remembering his
duty, the thing he hated, but had
to do.

that's ALL guess we better-uh-

DR. LUKE had forgotten ev-
- erything but the five tiny
beings who lay so helplessly in
the basket at his feet. The whole
matter Of his unobtained license
had completely slipped his mind
in the fever of the last few hours.

joined, energetically. This jobs

delicately administered a few
drops to each.
The frightened Wyatt was Of al,
most no help at all. He crouched
miserably in corner, murmuring
self-reproaches, asking no one in
particular what in the world he
was going to do, now that five
more mouths were to be fed. He
had had a hard enough time
feeding the six other children,
what with the way times were,
and all. When babies came one
at time, you could sort of get
used to that, but five!
IRON time to time Wyatt would
Il sneak quietly out, and for an
hour or more nothing would be
seen of him. But doctor, nurse and
constable had plenty to do, and
missed hi mlittle, nothing only
with a grim smile that the chair
in the corner was vacant.
"Just like Napoleon running out
on the battle of Waterloo" said
Nurse Kennedy to the doctor, ex-
pertly folding a warm blanket.
"Gosh!" replied DR.. Luke. IT
don't know that I blame him.
Thew hole things kind of like a
dream, anyway"
There was beginning to be
gray suggestion of dawn over the
rocky hills and dark woods be-
hind the house when DR.. Luke
knelt before the basket and bap-
tized all five babies. With a drop
of warm water moistening the
brow of each child, he murmured
the words of blessing and con-
Secration.
Mrs. Wyatt was resting easily,
and the house seemed strangely
calm after the excitement of the
night. Gradually streaks of dawn
began to appear above the still
dark pine-wooded hills.
TEMPORARY headquarters
l. were arranged for Nurse Ken
nedy. DR.. Luke prepared to go
back to town for a few hours
sleep, needed medical supplies,
and to make arrangements for
nurses and neighbors to come in
and relieve the faithful Nurse
Kennedy. It was just beginning
to be light enough to see without
a lantern when DR.. Luke issued
his final instructions to the
nurse, carefully closed the door
and climbed into his car for the
trip back to town,
Asa Wyatt returned with the
sun. He crept unobtrusively into
the house, and sat quietly in the
corner.

at last, to Nurse Kennedy.
On her assurance, Asa eau

little alcove and entered, to sit
by the bedside where lay his wife.

Skin Care
Essential
to Beauty
Proper Cleaning Is Vital
to Attain Flawless
Complexion.
BY ALICIA HART

CLEAR, healthy-l looking skin is
~ one of the first requisites of
true beauty. Your hair may be
lovely, your clothes in the best
possible taste, but, unless your
complexion is hawless, others never
will consider you to be beautiful
woman.
You know, of course, that ade-
quate rest, proper food and daily
exercise make for skin health and
charm. Unless you are one of the
very. very few women who seem al
ways to look fresh and sparkling,
don't let any one tell you that
sleep isn't important.
If your skin remains sallow or
muddy in spite of your best efforts
to clarity it, better see your doctor
at once. Meanwhile, don't be afraid
to face the fact that many skins
look grayishly muddy simply be-
cause they aren't cleaned properly.
Wash Face Daily
Do you wash your face and neck
with soap and water every night be-
fore you go to bed? Do you meticul-
ously cleanse them again in the
morning, finishing with ice water
rinsings? How long has it been
since you have used mild bleaching
cream or lotion regularly? Have
you tried beauty preparations that
are made specially to correct muddy
and SalloW conditions?
For instance, there is a new
cleanser which is supposed to al
leviate grayishness and to refine the
pores. This looks like cream,
but really is a soapy cleanser
You put a bit of it in the palm
of your hand, add enough warm
water to make a smooth paste, then,
with gentle circular movements, rub
it in your skin. Don't massage too
energetically.
When the paste has been rubbed
over every inch of your face and
throat, remove with cold water. Use
not oftener than once day,

we are alone I feel inferior because

out the situation.

have been wearing low heels, but it
hasn't helped much. If you could
help us, we would be thankful.
BUD AND KAY.
Answer know of no medicine
or exercise by which a person can
add or substract from his stature.
1t is true that men tremendously
are influenced by their size. The
traditional role of the male is one
of dominance, and he needs height
to make him impressive.
That is why so many short men
are aggressive and belligerSlt. By
their positive opinions they strive
to impress others with their inn
pOrtance. The big man can rely
on his bulk, but the little man
must compensate for his lack of
it by other methods.
The average person would rather
be hated than ignored; when the
little man StewS and frets and fuses
and fumes about a problem it is
simply his bid for attention; he is
afraid he will be overlooked unless
he makes big noise.
1t is important that you bolster
your friends ego on every occasion.
1t is mistake to hide in out-of-
the-way places.
Keep him aware of the fact
that he is valuable to you and turn
aside the jokes of your acquaint-
ances with some def remark. that
is complimentary to. him.. If you
aren't embarrassed by his stature
you will add greatly to his ease
and comfort.
After all, if you can look up to him
as a character it doesn't matter if
you look down on him as physical
figure. A man with nothing but
bulk to offer can be pretty deadly
dull. If your companionship is
vital to both of you, your difference
in height need not matter.

By Herbert HoIIander.
THIS week the world greets a new
year and pauses to peer into
the future in an attempt 20

a divine what it may bring forth.
But forecasting is an uncertain busi-
ness and usually fruitless one.
So instead of endeavoring to chart
the probable course of events in 1887
let's pretend that this is not the last
week of 1886 but rather the closing
days of 1911, exactly a quarter of
century ago.
The world did not know it, but the
new year of 1912 was to be a tire.
mendously important one. Few then
could see how close the nations were
drifting to the brink Of war that
was to engulf the world.
In 1912 the war for Europe was
Just a few short months away. But
in 1912 America there was only passing
interest in the successive crises, and
not even the passionate warfare in
the Balkans, with Montenegro, Bull
garia, Serbia and Greece united
against Turkey, aroused more than
cursory attention here.
No, America in those days was more
interested in things at home, such as
the world series and the latest George
M. Cohan show, and whether Weber
and Fields were going to do another
burlesque and just what was going to
happen If Teddy Roosevelt really did
break away from the Republican
party.
The New Year parties that ushered
in 1912 were gay with popping corks
and tango music and gentlemen in

ing Washington for his home, on Feb
ruary S, shook hands with the Senate
Munitions Committee and remarked:
It have had a fine time. I would not
have missed this investigation for the
world"
Big events and little events, from
the vantage point of the infant 1887,
fall into their proper places and give
us panorama of one Of the most
unusual years in the worlds history.
If one were to weigh those events
and decide which might be considered
of greatest interest or Importance he
would come, no doubt, to conclusion
unanimous with the opinion of our
representative news services and the
great body of people who reads
omnivorously our daily newspapers.

all faith and constant obedience with
all hearty and humble affection; be-
seeching God, by whom kings and
queens do reign, to bless the Royal
Prince Edward VIII with long, happy
years to reign over U.S.
THERE was nothing in the weeks
that followed to indicate the tre-
mendous upheaval which was to fol-
low. The new uncrowned King per.
formed his kingly duties in orderly
routine, the people cheered as he
passed. Some slight stir was occa-
stoned, it is true, when, early in
March, he sent message to the House
of Commons requesting that grant Of
his income be renewed. While this
was by way of being routine ges-
ture, having to do with the British
budget, it brought to the forefront the
possibility of the Kings marriage.
"His majesty desires" said the mes
sage, that the contingency of his
marriage should be taken into &C
count" The message also requested
that the nation provide for a possible
"new Prince of Wales"
Speculation along these lines soon
died down. and the pages of the press
we're concerned again with reporting
the usual routine which makes up
Kings day, until July 16. when the
British nation was electrified by an
attempt made upon Edwards life by
an Irishman with an undetermined
grudge. The King continued undis-
turbed at the head of his brilliant
cavalcade; the people, as he passed,
thanked God for his preservation.
