just now that we are perfectly cap
able of settling any difficulty we
may have without any Of your help
I tell you the same; and more than
that, the very next time you stick
your nose into what is none of your
business, that day you, bag and
baggage, leave Hill House. Do you
understand that ?"
Josie was standing squarely in
front of Coral. Ruthless determin-
alton was on her face and in her
voice, though she was shaking as
though in the tremors Of a severe
chill. I was sure it was anger
rather than cold which so affected
her, and wondered if tears, the
usual accompaniment Of such a
strain, would follow.
Coral glared at her in return.
1.-THE very idea of your daring to
speak to me like this" she de-
claimed dramatically. "And as for
my leaving Hill House, I think Neal
will have something to say about
that"
Meal has nothing to do with

goes" retorted Josie, land for your
information, if you're contemplate

he never will have YOU"
Coral's face changed.
"What do you mean?" she
gasped.
"You heard me-" Josie, with
scornful expression, turned away.
Gust remember it. Every word is
truth" With that she walked into
one Of the cubicles and firmly
closed the door.
When I was dressed, I called to
her:
I'm going to my room, Josie. AS
soon as you're ready come for me-"
II will, thanks" Her voice was
as blithe and gay as though she
had not just been engaged in battle
with a woman she detested. There
was stronger stuff in Josie than
had thought.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

WITH THE words: "It isn't his
fault if his mother is Miss Ivy's
best friend" Josie tucked her hand
under my ARM and we walked
along to the beach wagon together.
Rhoda and Dune were just ahead
of us. Whether Josie would have
said anything to me then if we had
been alone, do not know.
Her face was like a thundercloud.
And when Neal, with Coral and
Barry joined us, he, too, looked
mao enough to chew tacks.
We piled into the beach wagon
and Neal started the motor. AS he
let out his clutch and the car be-
gan to move, Coral gave little
squeal.
ooh, Neal" she admonished him,
you've forgotten Bruce"
Neal grunted, but applied his
brake. "He knows what time we
start back" His tone was irritable.
where is hep
'Pll find him." Barry obligingly
scrambled out and went back to the
beach.
Whats the matter with my
boy?" cooed Coral in a voice plain
ly audible to us all.
Neal looked at her. I thought he
wasn't in the mood for her caiol-
ing. His gaze went back to the
steering wheel, but Coral was not
content to let we'll enough alone. I
believe now that her object was to
foster trouble between Neal and
his sister, though then I thought
it just her catty desire to flaunt
her influence over him. If the last
is true, she received the surprise
of her life.
Il saw you talking to that Alan
Murray" she said spitefully over
her shoulder to Josie. II shouldn't
think you would do such a thing
when you know how worried it
makes"
"Coralw Neal turned savagelv
upon her. "Josie and I can settle
our difficulties without interference
from anyone"
L gasped at tone and words. The
last I thought an intimation to me
not to try any placating as I had
before.
NEAL" CoraPs tone was of ont
ragged dignity. "You needn't speak
to me like that. I won't stand it,"
II she thought to intimidate Neal.
she was mistaken.
you heard what I said" he re-
turned CURLY. II mean it,"
Her face went red then white
with rage. She moved over to the
extremity of the seat as though to
show Neal just how offended she
was, but he ignored her gesture.
My own idea is that he was
about fed up; that her hold on him
was precarious one which was
wearing thin under her own ac-
tiohs and words.
Barry and Orion came racino
across the platform to us. Barry
was putting like a tortoise. Orion
Ioped along as easily as Neal or
duncan might have done. They
piled in and Orion said:
I'm awfully sorry to hold I'D

Oke," said Neal. Forget it,"
NOT another word was spoken |
ulitli we reached Hill House. Intu-
iuvely Barry and Orion must have
known there was friction.

went directly to the tiny house

men and women in the State of
Maryland are going to be notified
that they may be entitled to
monthly old-age insurance checks

Mr.. Bailey explained that this
notice will he sent to those to
whom lump-sum benefits have
been paid since the Federal old
age insurance system was estab-
lished January l, 1897. The
amended act, he said, moves the
date for monthly benefits up two
years to 1910 and makes it pos
sible for a wage Garner to qualify

that the age barrier to obtaining

him to show that he has worked

period. at least $50 in wages and

1t was explained that if a man
has already received lump-sum
it will be deducted from the
monthly payments which will be

Steps toward organization OF
soil conservation districts against
soil erosion have been taken by
the farmers in two areas in this
State, according to DIR. Thomas B.

which the farmers are now petit
tiOning for organization of a soil

comprises approximately $500
acres and is commonly known as
the MiddIetOwn Valley. The name
proposed is the CatOctin Soil Con-

DEPT. OF HEALTH
COUNTY ACTIVITIES


Since 1884. Maryland has had
the distinction Of having full-time
health service in every county in
the State The wide range Of the
health promotion and disease pre-
vention activities carried on thru
the County Departments Of Health
is indicated in d report issued by
DR. n. RI. Riley Director of the
State Department of Health, OF
the work done in the count IS in
1893.
The activities Of each county
are summarized with reference to
communicable disease control or
prevention; the health supervision
Of mothers and children; dental
care of children; services for the
crippled children; the sanitary
supervision of food handling in
dustries, tourist and other camps,
educational activities and other
duties.
There were 1915 cases of no
tifiable diseases reported to the
State Department Of Health from
the counties; $500 home visits
were made by the health officers
and public health nurses to dis
cover sources of infection and to
establish the necessary measures
to prevent the spread of the dis
eases. Over 10000 young chill
dren were immunized against
diphtheria, 6,842 persons were pro-
tected against typhoid fever and
over 500 were vaccinated against
smallpox All protective measures
of this sort were arranged in CO.
operation with the physicians
practicing in the counties.
Nearly 5000 persons were ex-
amined at the monthly chest elm
les, held in cooperation with the
Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton; 2244 were added to those al /
ready under medical supervision

1t is highly important that we
meet the food of smoothly phrased
recognition of our Christ as the Mas.
ter which at the same time denies
Him as dying Redeemer. Hence
we stress
/. A redemption by blood (vv. II

who know God and call on him as
Father" ". I'D approach in that
reverential attitude which we cali
the fear Of God, >" which is not a
cringing fear but a loving reverence.
In that spirit we should proclaim
that apart from the shedding OF
Christ's blood there can be no re
mission of sin. Money and other
material things can only purchase
other material and corruptibIe
things. Our redemption could be
bought only by the precious blood
of the sinlesS, divine, and eternal

Christ is not our example in the

impossible, for we would have to be-
gin where He began-He was with
out sin. But we "all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God"
We need Saviour, not an example,
