The envoy sent on his track by tho Judge's orders had tea heil I'linnhns to llnd the little town In apathetic wonder over the dlsrovery of Qciry's canoe stianded thiee miles down the river. The piuIAlo was still in the canoe and n suit of pajamas. Ko furthc r trace of Gerry had been found. His body had not been recovered. The people said It was not unusual. Hu had undoubtedly been attacked by tiger fish. In that case his bones would have been stripped of lle.sh. It was Impossible to lira (T the great river. The Judge hid In his limit the linn ow ing details. To Mrs. Lansing he told tho central' fact. She was struck dumb with grief nnd then alio thought of Allx. Al most hastily they decided that It was not a time to toll Allx nnd during long months they put her off with false news of tho search. They carried It fuithor and furthur Into the wilds of tho subcon tinent The country was so vast, there was no telling when the messenger would Anally com un 'th Gerry. Allx bore the strain with wonderful patlenre The truth was that her thoughts weie not on Gerry. Something grciter than Gerry was claiming ullJier falth-.ill hoi strength of body and soul. She did not talk. She was holding that Una! communion with her Innuimost self with which a woman dedicates her body to pain nnd tmrrlllce. Allx was not afraid. In those days tho sphlt of the lace her race of pioneers shone fiom her steady eves and even put courage In those about her.

As the lay, p.ile and thin, but with tho glori ous light of supreme achievement In her ejes, Mrs Lansing went on her knees beside the bed and sobbed, "Oh, Allx, I love you no, 1 love you bo!" Allx smiled. Slowly she reached one hand over and placed It In Mrs. Lan sing's. "You ale crying becauso you nro a granny now," she said, softly, play fully Then came the day when Allx :n strong-attong enough. .Mrs. Lansing ium ucr in a cuoxeil volco what thev know and what every one hellovcd.

PURE FOOD AS NECESSARY AS FRESH AIR, EXPERT SAYS Education of the Child Is One of the Prime Requisites in a Campaign to Get Cleaner and Better "Eats" for the City ""X7'5IEN the public learns to demand pure food, It wilt get It," remarked Miss yy Luetic IJlacss, who directs the work of a pure food department, nnd, there fore, Is keenly Interested In her work for lis corrective measures aa well as from a mere business standpoint. Miss Illness didn't lose a minute while Riving her views upon the subject of the purchaso and use of absolutely pure foods, but con tinued to direct those In her charge.

Miss Illness Is carncsly absorbed In tho subject of pure food and docs not hesitate to assert that shops selling un guaranteed foods should not be allowed to do business.

FARMER SMITH'S RAINBOW CLUB HINTS AI50UT THE IIAllt FOR STYLISH AND RICH Strnifiht haired women can now have a curl which stays in six months. Rain, fop; even bathing in the surf will not remove the curl. Curling irons, paper curlers, kid curlers can all be relegated to the waste basket. The amount of curl must be regulated by tho thickness of tho pocketbook, for the process is expensive. It also depends on Milady's pntienco and courage, for it is a long, tedious and hot process.

Suppose I ask' you "how much health do you want?" "enough," "all" or "too much"? Your editor thinks you want ALL the health there is, to talk to you about today is TOO MUCH. There is nothing in the wide world which makes you sick, tired, worried or annoyed except too much of something. The reason some children, not all, get sick is because their parents think TOO MUCH about them. Let's see suppose you are sitting in tho trolley car and some one opposite you bTAKKH at you. It is bound to make you I uncomfortable, and yet sometimes parents, especially mothers, think about their dear little tootsie ootsies all day long, not realizing that THOUGHTS ARE THINGS. Kind thoughts are fairies and bad thoughts are worse than submnrinos, bombs or shrapnel. Be careful about "too much" of anything. What would you think of a family living in one room? They would soon wear out the carpet, wall paper and floor. Your mind is a beautiful house. In it aro many rooms. One for study, one for music, we may say, one for play and so on. When you study too much you wear out your study room. Remember ALL, ENOUGH AND TOO MUCH. FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor, the Evening Ledgeii. Our Posloffice Box Here is a little poet, Anna Marie Dell'Olivastro, of Pennsgrove, N. J. She won a dollar prize for one of her wee verses and started a bank ac count all her very own.

"Good morning, my dear," said Mr. Cat one morning to Mrs, Cat. "Have you any news for me this morning?" "Indeed, I havo a great surprise for you," said Mrs, Cat, and she showed Mr. Cat three of the fuzziest, cutest, cunningest little kittens that you ever saw. "Well, I do declare," said the sur prised Mr, Cat, "They remind mo very much of myself, only they aro much smaller, Do any of them really look liko me?" he said, stretching his back as if he were trying to make it hit the cejling, and waving his tail to and fro in the breeze. "I think they all look like you," said Mrs. Cat proudly, "I don't know about that," said Mr, Cat, "because they have all got their eyes shut. Why, what peculiar kit tens you have, anyhow. Is that the best kind you can 'present me with, kittens with their eyes shut? No one ever accused me of having my eyes shut. I always keep them wide open." "Oh, yes," said Mrs, Cat, "it pays you to keep your eyes open all the time. Besides, there are so many beautiful things you can see if you have your eyes open, In about nine days you will see these kittens all have beautiful eyes just like your self." "Now you are flattering me," said Mr. Cat, and ho stretched himself still taller. Just then Mrs. Cat got up, and tho three kittens all tumbled up into a little round ball, looking like ono kit ten when fast asleep. "By the way," said Mrs. Cat, "I think it is about time you went out and got me a nice large mouse to pay for tho nice things I have just said about you," "All right, all right," said Mr. Cat, "but I think I had better keep my eyes shut so as to look like those kittens.'" "Stop teasing," said Mrs. Cat. "You remember when you were young you nau your eyes closed, too." "I don't remember," said Mr. Cat. "That is why I have some young kittens for you, to remind you that you were young once yourself," Farmer Smith, Children's Editor, Evening Ledger, Philadelphia.

Speaking of stories, little authors, may I ask you to please make them short, I have been unable to publish several very good stories just because they were too long. So remember, SHORT etoriea I Whether to havo curly or straight hair now Is simply a' question of dollais and cents also sense. No woman netd havo straight hair un less sho wants It. because a new process frlsuro fnrcee has arrived In this coun tiy in spite of the win. N'oiv milady can havo a oil 1 1 put ln her hair which will stay for six whole months, In spite of rain or snow, heat or cold, shampooing or even surf bathing. The pmce.sa originated in Kngland, hut hns been perfected by Amer icans slnco tho war bc'an. The method Is a secret one. known only to a lew ultra fashionable hnliilreshln experts, who do the wolk behind closed iloors and keep their expensive electric apparatus (vvhlih winks the miracles) locked when tlioy aro out of the parlors lliemselves. To procure tho curl milady must go through many processes, which take many bonis nnd much money. She Is nl most hidden In sheets and other appaiel while tho hair expert applies electi leal processes which change tho structure of her hair and make It wavy and curly In stead of straight. The. principle of tho frlsuro forcee Is that It changes each Individual hair from a round hair to a Hat one. accord ing to tho explanation of ono hair dresser. Sho says that all curly hair Is flat, like wood shaving, and that Is why It curls. All straight hair Is round, like a lead pencil. To make the hnlr havo a perpetual curl, sho sns. each Indi vidual hair must become Hat.
