DR. DRAYTON’S PATIENT.
(Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa-
i per Syndicate.)
' Doctor Drayton dismissed his last
‘ patient just as the telephone at his
elbow rang sharply. His sister’s voice
came over the wire, frightened with
a burden of important news.
“I know you are dreadfully busy,
Frederick,” she apologized, “but Mrs.
Weeks has just told me the most
agitating thing—it’s about Archer—”
“Spare me, Hannah,” said the doc-
tor, wearily. “I don’t just under
stand why it is that people delight
in acquainting me with news of my
son’s delinquencies; as a matter of
fact, Archer has overcome any ten-
dency to wildness and has settled
down to hard work. I have hopes of
his becoming something of a lawyer.
Now, if you will excuse me—what?—
eh? An actress? Well, boys will be
boys—and er—well, good-by!” He
banged the telephone back on the
desk and frowned at the picture of his
handsome only son that looked down
from the wall.
“Hannah says a very common
actress! That doesn’t sound like
Archer—but what can I do? I can
refuse to give my consent to his mar-
riage with the woman and estrange
myself from my lad! What is that,
Harris, a call?”
“Yes, sir,” said the attendant.
“Fmergency case—the lady was
knocked down by an automobile and
they brought her in here. I had her
taken to the private room.”
“That is right, Harris.
come at once.”
The physician slipped into a fresh
white coat and, opening a door in
one corner of the office found him-
self in a small room fitted for emer-
gency cases.
On the narrow white bed was the
slender form of a young woman. Miss
Smith, the nurse, was removing the
black broadcloth costume with quick,
deft fingers. .
“Badly hurt, Miss Smith?’ asked
the doctor.
“A broken arm, I think, and I am
afraid of concussion,” she said in a
low tone. 2
The doctor leaned over the lovely
‘unconscious face of the girl and made
a rapid examination.
“It may be concussion, but I think
it is only shock. The arm is fractured
—send Harris in.”
Two hours later Doctor Drayton
retired from the sick room satisfied
that the unknown patient would re-
cover.
I will
“You will, of course, send her to a
hospital,” suggested Miss Smith.
“I think not,” hesitated the doctor.
He felt very tenderly toward the
young thing lying there on the bed.
A week slipped by, and still the sick
room was occupied, much to the un-
spoken amazement of Miss Smith.
One day the patient opened lovely
hazel eyes and smiled at the nurse.
“Where am I?” she asked faintly.
“At Doctor Drayton’s house,” re-
plied Miss Smith primly.
The eyes closed again and a faint
flush stole over the pale face. “Please
‘tell me what has happened,” she
murmured.
Miss Smith told her in a few words
of the automobile accident in front
of the doctor's office. “We have
been unable to learn your name,” she
suggested.
“Alice,” murmured the girl,
went off to sleep.
“Have you discovered her name?”
asked the doctor on his next visit to
the sick room.
“Merely that it is Alice—she seems
disinclined to talk—it’s rather a mys-
terious case, Doctor Drayton. Per-
baps she has no home—no people.”
“lI wish she hadn’t—I would adopt
her in a minute,” said the doctor
grufily as he left the room.
He found his son smoking in the
library,
“Hullo, dad, rushed as usual, I sup-
pose?” said the young man as he re-
turned his father’s hand grip.
“Yes—and I have rather a puzzling
private case in the house.”
A tap came at the door and Harris
poked a disturbed face inside.
and
“I beg your pardon, Doctor Drayton,"
But Miss Smith wants you to come
once—the patient insists on leaving
the house and has demanded her
clothes, and Miss Smith doesn’t know
what to do.”
Archer followed his father into the
hall.
Near the front door stood Miss
Smith, her arms stretched across the
doorway barring the departure of the
young patient who had donned her
street clothes and was standing pale
and silent before the nurse. :
“Madame!” expostulated Doctor
Drayton.
“Alice!” cried Archer sharply.
In a moment Alice was in his arms
and hiding a blushing.disturbed face
on his broad shoulder.
Record Diamond Drill.
The largest diamond drill core ever
cut has just been presented to Lehigh
university.
The specimen is a core of an 11-inch
diamond drill and the core is 10 inches
in diameter. The object of the drill-
ing was to drain some old workings
at the Maltby colliery. A barrier of
183 feet had to be penetrated before
the water, which had a head of 176
feet, could be tapped. The core shows
the middle rock of the Marcy vein.

LIVELY CAMPAIGN ASSURED
Women Have Perfec’ed a Party
Organization That Covers
Every County inthe State
Plans for the State-wide campaign
which the suffragists of Pennsylvania
ate to wage this year, in their efforts
to get the suffrage amendment ap-
proved at the polls on Election Day,
will be thoroughly discussed at the
Spring conference of the Woman Suf-
frage Party in Harrisburg, on April
8th and 9th.
Every County in the State will be
represented at this conference and it
is expected that the assemblage of
women leaders from all parts of the
Commonweaith will be an eye-opener
to those who have failed to note the
development of the compact or-
ganization which the women have
been quietly building up during the
past tive years. For, despite the pub-
licity which has been given to the
suffrage movement during that period,
comparatively few of the voting citi-
zens of Pennsylvania realize that in
the Woman Suffrage Party the suf-
fragists have perfected a State-wide
organization built upon the most ap-
proved party lines, with branches in
67 counties, and with legislative, bor-
ough and ward leaders in every dis-
trict where there are votes to be won.
The woman at the head of this or-
ganization is Miss Hannah J. Patter-
son, of Pittsburgh. Associated with her
today, as County Chairman and legis-
lative leaders, are representative wo-
men from every part of the State--all
keen thinkers and enthusiastic work-
ers for the cause to which they have
pledged their support.
It is upon this body of women that
the success of the suffrage campaign
very largely depends, and the results
of their conference at Harrisburg next
month will be watched with keen
interest.
One session of the conference will
be devoted to a full discussion of
campaign propaganda. New literature,
publicity, the tour of the Women’s
Liberty Bell and the extension of the
“suffrage garden” idea are some of
the concrete subjects that will be
taken up. Another session will be
given over to a discussion of the gen-
eral political situation with specific
attention to each county’s relation to
the whole.
More than two hundred of the Wo-
man Suffrage Party’s County, legisla-
tive district and borough leaders will
go to Harrisburg for the conference.

Work For the Ballot
‘DR. SCHAEFFER
FOR SUFFRAGE
State Super'nendent of Public
Instructon Says He Will
Vote For It at the Pol s
During his taiks ve.ore the various
Teachers’ Institutes of the State, Dr.
Nathan C. Schaeffer, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has
come out strongly for woman suffrage.
At one of his recent lectures before
the City Teachers’ Institute at Har-
risburg, he said:
“When the opportunity comes to
vote on woman suffrage in Pennsylva-
nia, I will embrace it. I have been in
States where women have the vote
and I want it in Pennsylvania.”
Dr. Schaeffer made the same decla-
ration before the Teachers’ Institute
of Wilkinsburg.

COLORADO'S PROCLAMA.-
TION TO THE NATION
After twenty-two years of ex-
perience with woman suffrage
in operation the Colorado Sen-
ate passed, unanimously, the fol-
lowing resolution on January
22d, 1915:
WHEREAS, the question of
woman suffrage has become an
important issue in many States
of the Union, and
WHEREAS, woman suffrage
was made a part of the organic
law of the State of Colorado
more than twenty-two years ayo,
and
WHEREAS, the operation and
effect of woman suifrage in this
State is being made the subject
of misrepresentation in other
States where the question is an
issue,
THEREFORE, we deem it to
be our duty to say that experi.
ence has demonstrated that
woma 1 suffrage is not only a
just recognition of the rights of
all before the law, but has
proven in all respects materially
helpful to good government
among the people, and to a no-
ticeable degree has inculcated a
higher respect for the majesty
and supremacy of the law.

GRANGE MASTER CALLS ON
GRANGES TO SUPPORT
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
At the 48th National Grange con-
vention at Wilmington, Del.,, C. B.
| Kegley, Master of the State of Wash-
ington. made a telling point with his
audience when he said:
“We, of the West, are proud of the
record our women have made in the
use of the ballot. It is no longer an
experiment. It has been thoroughly
tried out. There is nothing to fear.
The woman voter has proved to be
the most safe and sane of our voters
and we hope the men voters of the
Grange who know this, will see to it
that woman suffrage is carried to
speedy victory in every Grange State.
In this, as in all great measures of
general betterment, the Grange should
lead the way.”

The principal cause for an outbreak
of cholera is the presence of cholera
bacilli in the drinking water supply
of a city. Its descent is sudden and
widespread. Almost an entire popu-

Proper Care of the Eye.
According to Dr. Woods Hutchin-
son, the common cause of homeliness
or unattractiveness in the eye is red-
ness, either of the eyeballs themselves
or of the lids. This is what biolo-
gists call an acquired, not an inherit-
ed, condition, and is caused either by
the presence of disease and filth germs
or by eye strain. The trouble can be
prevented by absolute cleanliness and
by fitting the eyes with proper glasses.
The Seven Wonders.
The only one of the “Seven Won-
ders” of the ancient world that re-
‘mains is the Pyramids of Egypt. The
i others were the Hanging Gardens of
Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the
Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Pharos
of Alexandria and the Temple of
Diana at Ephesus.
Pheasants and Turkeys.
The fame of the pheasant in Eng-
land and western Euroje rests upon
its qualities as a game fowl, and the
species known there are not remark-
able for beauty. Pheasants are not
indigenous to America, and here the
ruffed grouse is often mistakenly
called a pheasant. Our native turkeys
are closely related to the pheasant
family.
