pause went on:
Mother would never stay away
like this. If she's anywhere around
she heard that scream just as we
did, and she'd come home as fast
as possible. You know Pm right"
i've got to quiet that dog" Neal
said hurriedly. This time he disap-
peared in the fog.
Did you look in the empty cot

out ?" l asked Dune.

the one Orton and Barry are in"
Then that's where she is, of
course" l cried. There are three
empty. aren't there?" 1 turned to
Josie.
Yes, but she wouldn't stay there
after that scream. She would come
to the house"
And not find anyone and start
searching for us as we're looking
for her." snapped. Josie, you an
Rhoda go on back to the house. ShS
may be there, or you may meet her.
Duncan, you come with me.
Across my mind had flashed q
memory of that three-foot-wide
walk this side of the spite fence,
behind the shrubbery. AS far as I
knew it had not been searched 1t
must be, and I most certainly didn't
intend Josie to be in the party. l
don't know whether Josies hyster-
ical fear had infected me or not,
but I was convinced in my own
mind that something was terribly
wrong.
AS they started off I heard Neal
speaking to someone. listened and
heard DR.. Paul's voice. AS they
doomed through the fog, I said hur-
riedly to Orion: Get Neal over to
your cottage on some excuse or
other. I've thought of a place to
look, and I don't want Neal with
me, in case" My voice trailed off
into silence, but he understood.
AS Neal and DR.. Paul joined us,
Orion said:
Meal, your mother said she'd
drop around to the cottage some
time this evening to plan room for
those cousins of mine I mentioned
to you. Do you suppose she can be
there noW?"
We'll go see." Neal was eager
to snatch at any suggestion, how
ever far-fetched. I though DR.. Paul
gave them a sharp look as they
started off together.

"And so have we," I retorted.
Were to meet Josie and Rhoda at
the house a little later. Well see
you then" tugged at Duncan's
arm as I spoke.
Obediently he moved away at nv
side, leaving DR.. Paul looking after
us. Back to the shrubbery I led the
way and along it toward the front
OF the house, peering intently into
the dripping mass. I was searching
for way through to the open
space beyond, but found none until
L came to the rose arbor. There
the way was clear and we stepped
through onto the grassed walk. The
spite fence lowered high above us.
1t gave me a crinkly feeling down
my spine, but persevered.
You go that way, Dune. I'll 70
this. If you find anything, whistle.
and I'll do the same"
"Okay." Dunes voice was grave.

sions.

the ground every inch of the way.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

MOTHERS have instilled in
their minds the idea that there is
a so-callcd tccthing age for babies.
This goes with belief that the
erupting of teeth is the cause of
many baby ailments.
Fifty years or more ago the doc
tors turned over the care of the
baby from the time it was born to
the grandmother or some female in
the neighborhood who had a repu-
tation for being good with babies.

A long, hard scri1nmage session

this afternoon as the aggregation
wound up its second full week of
grid drills.
The Bulldogs open against Roa-
nowe Rapids next Friday.
Coaches Bing Miller and Fred Kill

up, doing their best with ineXperi-
enced material.
H. Faulkner and Guy Sumpter are
being groomed as xickers. Backfield

the lads. Sun1pter was iineman last
year, and Faulkner saw his first foot
ball game during last season.
Paul Blake and Robert Turner are
being groomed as passers. Blake has
shown some promise, with Turner
being very light.
Injuries, the jinx of all football
teams, hasn't reared his head in the
local grid camp as yet and all the
boys seem to be progressing rapidly.
The mentors are pointing their every
effort to the opening game.
In the backfield, a real battle has
developed between Ted Wells, a
lightweight, and Jesse Huffman for

Each is showing his best to the
coaches.
During the week and much of next

simply weigh too mu61 for their
own good.
Interest remains at a high pitch.

his Junior Varsity squad as he puts
them through their PAGES at the ath-

At Carolina, however, it was not

pected of them this year.
