only he must be In his room by
noon. She FASTENED after the re-
treating figure Of the old man.
Bill sat still for two or three
minutes after they disappeared
Then with quick long steps he hur-
ried along the path which led up the
mountain.
The old Indian trail over Novena-
Der Mountain was now only a men,
DRY. Arthur and the girls had come
that way last week, and Eleonors
was familiar with the ascent from
the beaver pond. Today, when the
wood road rom the Pettis place
ended, she strolled about uncertain
~ looking for a chance TO crawl
down. This way, a sheer drop: this
other, precipitous, yet thick with
brush and trees, seemed the only
possible way Of reaching the ledge.
The wet, leaf-covered soil tore away
under her feet; only by hanging to
boughs and bushes was she saved
from rolling headlong. Scraped and
bleeding she clambered down the
rocky shelves and reached the fat
surface.
Eleonore sat down and bound q
handkerchief around a small cut
above her sock. As she reached for
her fathers binoculars which were
on q strap over her shoulder, she
saw two tiny figures crossing q field
far below. The glasses magnified
them into midgets. The couple were
arm in arm, talking earnestly to-
gether, linked in almost loving con-
hdence. The man seemed much
younger than Mr.. Jones.
There was something familiar
about the man. Just then he made
a gesture of dissent, tossing back
his hair. That gesture and the
rhythm Of his walk rang q tocsin Of
memory. Eleonore's face grew pink
with q rush Of blood. /
But she hadn't come up here TO
spy on that woman nor her COM
panion who reminded her of Bill
Steuben. She focused her glasses
on the plateau-like meadow TO her
left, half way down the mountain.
Building . circle, Arthur had said.
She saw n brush circle about Eve
feet high, and IL was probably two
hundred feet In diameter. She
scanned the field close for ground
lights, signals to q passing plane,
but could discern none.
Eleonore laid down the glasses
with . sigh. A brush circle-so
what! Perhaps II she sat quietly.
concealed on the ledge, someone
might come 10 the meadow. The
figures Of the man and woman had
left the field below. Eleonore
stretched herself out on the warm
rock. -.
Her dreamy relaxation was in
terrupted by sounds Of serambling
feet. Someone was coming up the
trail. She edged nearer to the cliff
side. A man was spiralling swiftly
up.

Your Health
Treatments TO
Prevent Hay Fever
Should Begin Now

By HERMAN BUNDESEN. NJ. D
THE time to prevent hay fever
Is now.
Waiting until August and the
open season for sneezes is like lock-
ing the barn door after the horse
is gone. To be effective, preventive
measures must be taken well in
advance Of the annual onset Of the
difficulty.
Hay fever is due TO allergy or
over-sensitivity. That is, persons
with this condition react, as a rule,
to the pollen from some plant
particularly the ragweed. In hay
fever, there are such symptoms as
watering Of the eyes and a nasal
discharge with n great deal OF
sneezing and discomfort
Sensidvity Tests
Hay fever victims should have
tests carried out 10 determine 10
Just what substances they may be
sensitive. These tests are made by
injecting extracts of various kinds
of pollen into the skin or by rub
bing these extracts into scratches
in the skin and noting whether
any reaction occurs such as the
formation Of q red swelling at
the point of injection.
To prevent attacks of hay fever,
the usual method Of treatment is
to give injections Of the pollen ex-
tract in gradually increasing
doses. Many physicians favor CIV
ing these injections the year round.
Others may start the injections
three or four months before the
usual hay fever season, which
starts about the middle of August
and lasts through September.
Prevent Attacks
Attempts 10 prevent the attacks
have also been made by giving the
pollen extract by mouth. DR.. Mar
cisse F. Thiberge Of New Orleans
believes that the use Of this type
of treatment is helpful in addition
to giving of the pollen extract by
injection, particularly if the pa
tient travels a great deal OF per-
haps is one of those few who OBJ
ject to injections.
DR.. Thiberge thinks that this
method of treatment cannot re-
place the injection method conf
pletely, because it is impossible to
be certain how rapidly the extract
will be absorbed or taken up in the
body. He treated 50 patients CIV
ing the pollen extract by mouth
over q period Of one to three years.
Coated Pills
He used pills which were coated
90 that they would not dissolve in
the stomach but only in the intes-
tine. With this method of treat
ment, he was able to keep about
one-sixth Of the patients free from
attacks Of hay fever and to relieve
the symptoms in about one-half.
Three of the patients stated that
the treatment made them worse.
Since it has been proved that
pollen extract given by mouth is
absorbed in the body and acts TO
make the patient less sensitive to
pollen, many hay fever victims
may find this new method OF pre-
vention helpful.
