was frantic when the baby has a alight temperature. She telephones Don. but he sends Bob Wallace. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXXI Bob’s smile died as he examined the baby. “How long has he been like this, Sonia?” She told him, asking in a weak, frightened voice, “13 he very sick?” “Pretty sick, dear. It’s meningitis.” She knew, then, why she had been so afraid. “Is he going to die?” He answered, gravely. “Not if there is anything under God’s Heaven that can be done for him,” Nothing flirtatious about him now. His attention was riveted cn the baby. He gave rapid instructions, adding, “I’ll send for a nurse.” Sonia felt that she was slowly bleeding to death. ~ . .Don was operating to save another woman and her baby, while his own son was dying. He could have saved him. She appreciated Bob’s effort but only Don could perform miracles. She had seen him drag her mother back from the edge of the grave. He could have done it. But he had refused to come. She was pacing the floor. Suddenly she stopped and seized Bob’s arm. “Don has to come home, Bob. I’ll make him come. I’ll go and beg him.” “He’s coming Sonia. He’ll come as soon as he’s through operating. ’ Her voice rose. “He’s got to come now! It’s his child.” ♦ Tears were in Bob’s eyes, but he said, quietly. “Don couldn’t do anything I can’t. Os course, I know you want him.” “Want him? He must come.” She began to pray, frantically, “Oh God, please make him come.” She was on her knees, dry-eyed, when Don returned. “What is it, Bob? Not meningitis? It couldn’t be.” Sonia seized his hand “Save him. Save him for me, Don. Please?” His face was white as he replied, “We’ll do everything we can.” She watched eagerly. Even though so late he would be able to do it. “While there’s life there’s hope,” kept running through her mind. The silly phrase! She couldn’t get rid of it. Suddenly she became calm. Her voice was quiet. She asked no more questions, but flew to obey orders. All night she lay on the bed as Don requested. Not asleep. She was listening to every moment. But she was trying to have faith If she believed hard enough, God would not take hjm from her. Other

women’s children died. But that was different. Perhaps they had not wanted them so dreadfully or suffered so much to have them. Lots of women weren’t sick at all the months before their babies came. She remembered that Vera had told of a friend of hers, who said she’d “never felt better.” Her mind was dashing about furiously. She wanted to think brave, courageous thoughts, but the most ridiculous things occurred to her. The white rabbit, perched on the little chest of drawers, was cocking one eye at her If it was a dark, gloomy day he would get well. But if the sun shone That was foolishness Why couldn’t she be sensible? Don came to her. “Try to relax, honey. Can’t you go to sleep?” “No, but I’m resting.” She was glad he could not see the feverish activity of her brain. She cried, “Oh, if I could only do something.” “You might make us ‘some coffee.” The nurse’s cap was horribly unbecoming perched like that on top of her mouse-colored hair. "Yes, I will. Let me do it.” As she rose, she said, “I know you're going to save him. I have the utmost confidence in you.” He turned away, crying, “I’d give every drop of blood in my veins....” But toward evening of the second day the baby died.... Sonia was watching, kneeling on stiff knees beside his bed. She did not know until Don tried to take her away. “Do you mean,” she asked, distinctly, “that it is all over?” He groaned. She cried, terribly, “Then you’re to blame!” “Sonia, for God's sake....” “I sent for you. If you had come then... “Nothing could have saved him. Bob did everything ” The world was rocking around her. There were no miracles. She had gone through hell to have this baby, then he was snatched from her arms. She walked from the room to crumple in the hall. Far away she heard the bitter, tearing anguish of a man’s sobs....But it meant nothing to her. Her son was dead.... Don had said his profession must come first. Well, it had. He had proved the strength of his devotion to it by the sacrifice of his child. But if he had known the agony of bearing him, would he have been so noble? She was still listening for her baby’s cry. “Oh, God!” 'she cried. | (To Be Continued.)

Poor Clowny Tinymite was caught. Said Scouty, “Some day he’ll be taught that he should be more careful and keep out of steeples’ way.” “Oh, come and help he,” Clowny cried. And every little Tiny tried, but getting over to him was a lot more work than play. Wee Coppy yelled. “Hang on real tight. The wind will soon make things all right. We’ll have to wait until the breeze swings ’round about a bit. Os course we cannot walk up there, ’cause if we could I’d run up near, to turn you loose, but, as it is, we’ll make the best of it.” Poor Clowny was a funny sight. The pointed steeple held him tight, so all that he could do was wait and hope ho did not slip. The others worked with hearty vim to try to get up close to him. It seemed they all were anxious to continue on their trip. Then Scouty felt his body shake. A breeze had caught him in its wake. It lifted him smd landed him right close to Clowny’s side. "Hurrah,” the others yelled, in glee. "Ol* Clowny now will soon be free.” As Scouty jerked him loose they started on another ride. On through the air they quickly flew and then, the first thing that they knew, they started shooting upward just as fast as they could go.

Said Clowny, "Now we’ve naught to fear. We can’t get caught on things up here. I think that I’d much rather be up where the stiff winds blow.” Just then a big bird came in sight, and promptly eyed each Tinymite. And then he pecked a big balloon. It busted with a plop! In each one, then, he made a dent, and down the Tinymites all went. Os course it scared them very much. I wonder where they'll stop. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.) (The Tinymites find a soft and safe landing in the next story.) ELBKIDGE GERRY DIES Bu T’nited Prrst NEW YORK. Feb. 18.—Elbridge T.
