Although many wise parents have
long given up the notion that early
infancy should be primarily a train

are many parents who persist in
such a notion to the detriment Of

which presents many pitfalls. Too

a basic essential In the life OF
every infant is a period in which
he is loved for himself and is ac-
cepted as he Is, dirty or clean, cute
or ugly, bright or dull. The re.
sultant feeling which the child
builds up becomes a fundamental
basis OF a child's internal security.
When child's sense of security is
not yet built up, he is less willing
and less capable OF complying with
demands OF adults. Failure to COM
ply is interpreted as stubborn
ness and the child is said to be
"bad boy" or a bad girl.
In our zeal to compete favorably

urged children to walk before they
are through the crawling stages.
We have set up cleanliness as an
ideal at an age when children are

to a feeling that he isn't much

But won't child remain baby

her face was in the shadow.

"All right" said Craig. but
first, exactly what is your case
against Miss Cable ?"

tenant Nugent, and did: Drue had
quarreled with Conrad Brent; she
had held him responsible for her
separation from her husband;
("that is" said Nugent from you,
Mr.. Brent ~ she had had digi-
tails; the medicine was missing
from its customary place, and there
was the mark which might be that

Of Conrad Brent. He explained,
that, since no one else knew any,

there was only one construction that
could be placed upon their absence,
plus the hypodermic and the fatal
amount Of digitalis found in Con-
rad Brent's body. And that was that

administer fatal dose of digitalis.

There was an edge in Craig's voice.
He went on. Because that's out

she quarrel with your fatherl"
Craig lifted his eyebrows. Quar-

difficult achievement"
Really, Mr.. Brent" said Soper
looking shocked. "Your father :"
II know, / know" cut in Craig.
But though this is an inquiry into
murder; there's duty towards the
living, too. However, II is likely
that my father asked her to leave
and she resented being kicked out.
But so far your evidence is alto
gether circumstantial. You can't

There I beg TO differ with you,"
interrupted Soper. III we find her

to divert your inquiry, Lieutenant.

threatening, shaking n pudgy but
forceful forehnger under her nose.

Conrad Brent, didn't you!"

"You quarreled with him! You
we're heard yesterday afternoon

Drue was drawn-looking; her lips
were chalky. She looked at me with

I followed. Soper, giving me a
suspicious look, had turned into the
library.
Nugent couldn't have failed to
ses that my room connected with
Drue's. But the trooper already on
guard didn't stop me when | en-

She pressed her hands over her

"how hard it is to evade making a
