Patient Pays Doctor
Bill HE Had Forgotten
After 30 Years

DR.. H. T. Willis, former
Mayor of Hyattsville, had
surprise the other day-a
woman wanted to pay him a
30-year-old bill he had long
since forgotten.
The woman told the doctor
the bill was for bringing one
of her sons, now in the Navy,
into the world. To refresh
his memory, she told him he
came in a horse and buggy on
a bitterly cold night after the
doctor first called was not
available.
Saying she had not forgotten
his kindness, she offered to
pay DR.. Willis the full bill and
6 per cent interest. Although
the doctor offered to write the
debt off, they finally COM
promised.

She must say that so he would
know they were tears OF happi-

at peace.
There, there. You mustn't!" One
OF his big hands reached for his
handkerchief, wiped her eyes awk-
wardly. His own blue eyes were
filed with concern, yet smiling
still, his whole face alight. You're
all right, you know. That's all that
counts. You're only scratched up a

innermost being, her soul. 1t was
that white. bright light of truth for
which she had been searching, re-
vealing, healing, answering all
things, bringing that peace, that

At last Tibby's heart had spoken.

CHAPTER FORTY-FIvE

TIBBY HAD wanted to run
away, TO run and run though
this sensation was the same. She
was floating. drifting no, it
must be that she was flying, flying
in the silver ship, high up against
the deep blue Of a cloudless sky,
feeling that wonderful sense Of
freedom and power. as she always
did, with the earth so far, far be-
low, its houses and peoples and
cars such minute tiny playthings.
This was what she had thought,
this renewal of her spirit, this
aloneness yet not alone, Ell
Their, for here, upstairs" one felt
very close to that supreme power,
close to truth. Surely here libby
again would see clearly, be able to
look into her heart, find all the
answers she was seeking.
Running, running away no.
flying she must remember
that she was flying beauti-
fully, effortlessly, like bird.
She had wings, as Marg's captain
had said, not only her soaring.
eager spirit, but her very body.
That was a lovely thought
If you had wings you had no
fear Of anything. you were indeed
free, unconquerable you could
not only conquer the earth, and
rise above it, but rise to that other
world beyond though now
libby felt herself falling.
She wes falling, falling, Just as
she had been rising upward only
moment before, falling swiftly,
clearly, effortlessly, too. Down.
down, away from the deep cloud
less blue toward the hard earth.
TOO swiftly, TOO Clearly, she was
to realize, her nerves that had been
so relaxed, jumping to taut atten-
ton; her mind, that had been
dreaming, leaping back to alert
ness.
She must do something to stop
this downward plunge, something
to straighten the silver ship back
on its course although she
must be falling in a dream, instead
IF in reality. Often one did fall like
this when dreaming. feeling this
same forceful momentum pulling
one toward the earth, hurting one
toward oblivion common
dream with every one a dream
going back, so 1t was said, to ones
first primitive ancestors
dream experienced by every small
child who from birth has this same
awful fear of falling.
Now libby was held In fear, froz-
en- in fear, in horror, as she plunged
onward. knowing that she could
not right the silver ship, no mat
ter how frantic her efforts, know
ing that this was no dream, but
grim, certain reality. She knew,
too, that hard earth waited below
to receive her.
She must save the silver ship.

given her to bind her to the prom
ise she in turn had made him.

Advice Given On
What To Do Should
Gas Attack Come

Because OF the possibility that
war gases may at some time be
used by the enemy Dr.. Matthew
E. Soller, director of the emergen-
cy medical service. believes that
people should remember a few
facts so that they will be pre-
pared.
While soldiers require gas
masks because they must remain
in the contaminated area civilians
do not necessarily need such equiv
ment because they can get out c
the gassed area or get above IL
level of the gas, where they Z
not need gas masks or protect
clothing. War gases, he sa
stay close to the ground So
avoid them, simply walk agai
the wind or go upstairs. II
gas should get on the skin,
says, one can prevent it from d
ing much harm by sponging It OF
as quickly as possible and apply
ing a neutralizing substance, fol
lowed by a thorough bath.
Some OF the effective household
remedies are: Clorox or a similar
bleach (for mustard; peroxide of
hydrogen (for Lewisite); paste or
solution of baking soda. II the
gas is not known use both peroxide
and bleach being careful TO keep
them out of the eyes.
