At this point, Mrs. Milton had
looked up at Ella and smiled.
I'm certain, Ella" she had
said, tapping the letter, "that
my niece has the very best OF
intentions, even though she says
things In n rather curious way"
She shook her head. But I
wouldn't leave here, no matter
what she said. For the few
years that remain for me, this
little home is plenty good
enough"
Then Ella began to breathe
again -.
Time role d by, and Ella
looked very Seedy. As her
clothes deteriorated, her general
appearance did too. Her skin
was grimy, and her hair hung in
wispy strings.
She grew homelier and home
lier, but Ella didn't care. Her
obsession was to give that money
back. And give it back she did.

Figures Sum Taken

GO ELLA sat straight-spined
~ on the edge OF her bedstead
and figured with pencil how
much she had taken.
1t hadn't seemed like any
amount at all when she first
thought of 1t. But when she aver
aged IL for a month, and then
multiplied that figure by II, and
then by years, the total came To
nearly $500.
Ella bought a ledger. On the
right hand side she Scrawled
5000. On the left, 81 paid back.
And week by week, she had
put ones and twos and fives into
the vanitie drawer, or into Mrs.
Millions purse. or into the to-
bacco tin in the kitchen where
Mrs. Milton kept small amounts.

Gift Makes Her Cry

MRS. MILTON had never re-
WI membered -lla's birthday
before. nor had she remembered
il since. But that 10-dollar bill
had made Ella cry. She had
cried several times during that
night in bed.
For years she had paid the
butcher, the grocer. the milk
man and the paper boy. Some
how she had always managed
to add a quarter or half dollar
20 those bills. She had pocketed
that extra money. and she had
never thought anything of il.
Now. suddenly, il seemed like
cheap thievery. IT was per-
petually petty crime against a
very fine woman.

One Kidney
VIII Suffice

considerable extent on why the
kidney was removed.
The common causes are a new
growth on a kidney, tuberculosis
of a kidney. a pus infection or
an injury which crushes the kid
ney on one side.
Naturally the person with a
new growth or tuberculosis is in
a more serious condition than a
person who has had an injury.
because the growth or the tuber-
culosis may recur in the one re-
naming kidney.
TT is possible by modern lab
L oratory methods 10 make
very exact assessment of the
functional ability of the kidney,
and blythe same token IT IS
possible 10 make functional
assessment of one kidney if there
is only one.
This is done by tests on the
chemistry of the blood and other
methods too technical TO discuss
here. Seventy-two per cent of
the patients in this series were
able TO pass satisfactory tests Of
this nature, showing that the
one kidney was doing the work
of two and doing il completely
as far as the body economy was
concerned.
The average length Of time
which had elapsed between the
operation and the period when
the report was made was over
eight years.
60 WE can say with consider
~ able assurance TO patients in
this situation that they will GER
tainly live with one kidney. that
they will function very well, all
things being equal. and that
length of life depends somewhat
on the original cause of the
trouble.
AS matter of fact, nature
has been very generous with US
about kidney tissue, and We all
have about twice as much as we
need.
At any given time only about
one-fourth or one-fifth of all the
kidney tissue is functioning. The
single kidney which remains
after an operation can very well
do all the work required of it
without strain.

II however. He said he was
sorry he had not taken il more
seriously in school because he
afterwards discovered that a fa-
cility for computing rapidly was
useful in handling such mathe-
matical problems as paying of
the line.
He said he also had occasion
TO regret his Skimping on such
subjects as municipal statistics
when he was in school because
he once made a pleasure trip TO
St. Louis, his first time away
from home, and lost all his
money betting il was the biggest

My old man pointed out that
a course in gambling in the

the attention of the pupils more
than anything else that could be
devised
He said he could think of
nothing that would enthrall the

cent news that the army has

My old man contended that
the education of our youth with
respect TO the things they would
inevitably confront in their adult
years was sadly neglected. and
among these things he put gam
bling. He was of the opinion
that il would be a good idea TO
teach gambling in the public
schools.
He said our boys and girls
were instructed in the schools
on many subjects that were of
no value TO them in later life.
whereas a little knowledge of
gambling would always come IN
