blankets on Gerry and let him swent It
Jim. On tho third day nature, nsslstcd by
Ills magnificent physique. Anally routed
tho attack. Gerry began to feel hungry.
He called the old woman nnd ordered food.
I'or onco food in I'lrnnhns wns plentiful.
Mnndioc, sweet potatoes, pumklns, ns well
as fowl, marooned on trees nnd wreckage,
had stoclird the town as It had liovcr been
Btocked before. Gerry ate heartily.
Then ho began to think. The night
mnre was all true. From his window ho
looked out on tho slowly receding waters
of tho greatest flood tho San KranclBco
hnd ever seen. Knxenda Mores was no
moro. With It tlirco years of his llfo
had been wiped out. Outwardly ho was
back where ho hud begun. Hut Inwnrdlv
ho wns eons away fiom the starting point
of three cnrs ago. Allx had .waited for
hlm, but he had not wnlted for her. Ho
had glvn himself to Margarita nnd to
Mnrgarlta's son. Margarita and tho Man
Wero dead, hut tho fnet of his gift of
himself remained. What hnd ho but tho
shell, tho husk of himself, to take back
to Allx?
Ho called the old woman. Ho asked
her If she remembered him. Sho pcored
at him. "N'o, master," sho said, "I do not
remember you. You nre llko tho foreigner
who wns drowned, but ho Is dead."
Gerry shook his head. "Not dead," ho
said, "only disappeared."
"You nro not ho," snld tho old woman,
"lie could not talk words that ono could
understand.'
Gerry nodded gravely. IIo felt as though
words could never make him smile again.
"I have learned," ho snld. "Now tell mo
hnt beenmo of tho things I left bore?"
IIo went through the list.
Tho old woman checked off rnch Item
nnd thi" shrugged her shoulders, She
led him to a little dark room whoso only
light enmo from tho Interstices of tho tiled
loof. As bis pupils expanded ho began
to mako out ono after nnother of tho
bags that had made up his traveling kit.
"Thero Is a letter," she said, nnd went
oft to fetch It. Gerry dragged tho bags
out Into tho light. Their locks wero nil
sealed with tho seal of tho American Con
sulate at I'ernamhuco. Ho stnrted knock
ing off tho brittle wax. The old woman
camo back with tho letter and hnnded it
to hlm. Ho toro It open. It was a note
from tho consul Enylng that by older of
Gerry's wife his things had been sonlod
nnd left nt the Inn, nnd tolling hlm where

from tho old woman, hnd been paid for

return, only resignation. "You nre tho

bho said quaintly and with it sigh.
"Fear nothing," said Gerry kindly.
"You have been faithful. You may con
sider tho room engaged by mo for the
next 10 years."
IIo carried Ills bags Into tho room over
looking tho river and then lny down. IIo
wns too tired after the fever to open

Farmer Smith's Frog Book
Spring Comes to Frogvillo
Spring was coming in Frogvillo and
one by one the Frogs nnd Toads were
beginning to come out of their winter
quarters to see what the world looked
like.
All around the Big Pond could bo
heard the chorus of Toads crooning
harmoniously in the warm spring air.
Dr. Bull Frog opened his eyes and
peeked all around to see if all was
well, and, finding the Frog World all
serene, he wiggled his way out to day
light. Mrs. Tree Toad gave Willie a soft
kick to arouse him from his winter's
sleep, and as she did so Mister Tree
Toad opened his eyes and looked at
his good wife to make sure that it was
. . . ii.- 4 U
time to wane up ior mo iv ",
Tree Toad season.
Mister Tree Toad stretched himself,
and as he did so Willie said, "Mother,
I'm hungry."

contents. On the bed, tho floor, tho table
nnd tho chairs was piled such an array
of linen nnd shoos nnd suits of various
cut nnd weight ns he hnd onco deemed the
minimum with which a man could de
cently travel. Now they seemed to hlm
wasteful and futile Tho clothes did not
enrry his mind back ns ho had expected.
The starch In the linen had gone yellow.
Ho hnd nlways bated yellow collars. Tho
suits Btruck hlm as belonging to some ono
else all except one. One sturdy suit of
tweed hnd a cut that was different from
tho others. Of all the clothes It alone
seemed to have a personnl note tho noto
ho had expected to find In tho bags and
had shrunk from
Thon ho remembered. This suit had
boon made by his own tailor. He had
worn It during a flying visit to Hod IIIU.
Ho had had It on tho day ho left New
York. He had worn It that morning In
Allx's room. Tied Hill camo back to lilm,
Allx stood boforo him. Through tho suit
ho saw her room, tho slilmmotlng blue of
her dressing-gown, her crown of linlr and
her thin lingers busy with It. Ho felt
ngaln tho nip of the clear air ns It had
Btrcamed In through tho open window.
How calm Allx had been under Ills ar
raignment. How curious had been her
eyes ns he raved nt her. Would Bho have
been calm nnd curious llko that If sho
had renlly loved Alan? He remembered
tho 'shameful things bo hnd said beforo
ho could iaih her Into nn answering
temper. He henrd ngaln tho scratching of
n pen ns he had heard It that morning,
standing In the bnll outstdo her door.
How blind bo hnd been I She hnd been
writing to Alan writing to him In tho
whlto heat of anger. IIo had driven her
to It with his shameful words. Ho hnd
left hor no other nnswer. And after all,
sho bad waited. Gerry put his hands to
his forehead. It wns wot with cold sweat.
Ho got up nnd went out,
Tho worst of tho flood wns over. Gerry
engnged a search party. All dny long
they sought for Margarita and her child.
Towards night they found them, the little
boy tight clasped In his mother's nrms.
Gerry laid them tenderly In tho ennoo nnd
In silence tho party crawled back up tho
river to Piranhas. No ono looked curi
ously nt tho burden they cnrrlrd up
through tho main street. Uvea wcro tired
of tho familiar sight. Tho hour of weep
ing, the nllottcd tears, wcro long slnco
spent. They burled them that night.
Gorry went back to his room. Ho could
not eat. Ho sat for a long time looking
out on the starry river. Then uncon
sciously ho picked up tho old tweed suit
nnd hung it carefully on a chnlr. Tho
rest of his scattered things ho swept un
ceremoniously upon the floor and threw
himself full length on the bed. Ho was
exhausted and slept.
Ho was up cany the next morning. He
mndo tho old womnn bring water and
bathed in his room. "It is wise," sho
snld. "For many days thero will bo poison
In tho river." Gerry did not nnswer. Ho
closed tho door nnd went through his
ablutions and toilet with groat enrc. His
beard ho had always kept closo clipped.
Now ho shaved it off. The tan of his
faco looked llko a mask abovo tho fresh
whlto of his newly shaved jowls and
chin. Ho picked out tho best of his linen
und dressed. Lastly ho put on tho old
tweed suit. It fell naturnlly to tho lines
of ills body, all except the waistband of
tho trousers. Ho drew tho back strap
ns closo as it would go. Still the trousers
wero a llttlo looso at tho waist. At first
ho was puzzled, thon ho undorstood. He
looked at himself In tho broken glnss with
a gorgeous but sadly tarnished frnmo

"Who said I was lazy?" asked 'Mis

Treo Toad, trying to talk ns if sho

At that Mister Tree Toad began to
bestir himself, and soon thero wns n

wiggled themselves.
"You sit right hero until I como

The Honest Boy
(By Mabel Wilson, Norrls street.)
The.ro was a little boy, six years
old, named John. His mother sent
him to tho grocery storo for five
lonves of bread and gave him BO
cents.
After having received tho bread,
ho gave tho man his GO cents. Tho
man gave him 75 cents change. He
looked at it and then said: "I gave
you only BO cents, not a dollar. Hero
is the 60 cents that you gavo me."
The man looked at him and said,
"My little man, God will always re
ward you for your honesty." When
he went home ho told his mother
what had happened. His mother said
she was and would always be proud of
her little, honest boy.

Gerry turned from the Rtass vllh n,
alffh. Ho was restless. Tho heavy tweeds
seemed to bind his limbs nnd chest, but
he would not tako thorn oft. Ho sat nt
the window nnd watched tho llttlo stern
wheeler splash up to tho bank. Luckily
for her, she had been three days lato In
starting up tho river; else that trip would
havo been her last, dorry tried to exert
himself to the troubla of packing nnd
Retting on board, but he felt listless.
Why should ho hurry back? Allx had
waited, was waiting, but not for him. Ho
hnd not wnlted for her. Ho must go
back nnd tell her, of course; but what
then?
A cnvnlcadd came down the street. At
Its head was carried a litter and on tho
litter lay Alan. He hnd refused to ride

"I am not there," lio finished, "because

From tho beginning sho hated the ditch.

FOOD VALUE
What Is Food Value?
By VIRGINIA E. KIFT
What does tho frequently heard term,
"food value," menn? Restating tho
matter, "What Is the valuo of food?" It
Is of vaiuo first In keeping us warm;
second nnd third, In keeping our muscles
strong and our blood clean. It also
helps children to grow am' grown-ups to
repair t dally wear nr.d tear of tho
body.
Food can bo likened In Its valuo to conl
In a furnace, for Just as you build a flro
to keep your house warm nnd comfortable
to llvo in, bo you eat food to keep your
self warm and comfortatlo to llvo with!
When you buy coal, it may bo good, bad
or medium. It may burn up nt once, or
not burn well at all on account of tho
stono nnd Blate In It: or It may last as
long ns you could rensonnbly expect.
So It is with tho food wo cat. Somo
of it gives us heat nnd energy, nnd somo
of It will not juni well nnd has to bo
disposed of ns useless wasto tho same as
stono or slato in coal. Tho term food
valuo" refers, then, to somo comparison
of these body fuels from which wo got
good or bau "food vnlue. '
For example, you would havo to cat an
entire head of cabbage (the chief valuo
of which Is Us flavor and inorganic salts)
to procure tho same amount of "food
value" that one medlum-sUcd potato
would give. e
Two onlor.s will produco as much heat
In your body as an entire enn of tomatoes.
Two tablespoons of uncooked rice nro
oqulvalont in "food vnluo" to 12 largo
oysters.
Four prunes nre cqunl In this respect
to ono largo fresh turnjp.
And of what use Is It to know nil these
equlvnlcnt "food values"?
It teaches tlrst that tho watery foods
tomatoes, cabbages, turnips, oysters are
not of as much use to our body on n cold
day as tho more solid foods potatoes,
rice, onions, dried prunes and beniiB.
Secondly, It teaches economy, that
tomatoes at 8 cents a enn nnd oysters at
12 cents n dozen givo you only the plena
uro of flavor (which to be suro Is well
worth considering provided ynu can nf
ford It), while rice at 5 or 6 cents a. pound
and potatoes nt S cents a quarter peck
glvo you heat for your body nnd repair
material for your worn-out tissues.
Think over the meals you have been
serving your family, or eating at your
home, nnd decide whether you get too
much "slato and stone" la jour food; find
out whether you are eating food or Just
"liller." Since you can correct your diet
If it Is wrong, It will be "fun" to know.

Psychology of Color in
Maintenance of Domestic
Peace and Happiness Ex

Young brides. If you want to steer clear
of tho Jagged icefs of tho divorco coast,
shun tho colors red and puiplo In your
hats nnd gowns ns jou would n burglar.
Don't have theso colors in your house
unless you want trouble.
Such wns the warning sounded today
by Miss II. Maynnrd Whlto, widely
known portrnlt painter, nnd ono of tho
founders of tho Three Arts Club. Miss
Whlto ought to know what sho is talking
about, for many years she hns been a
closo student of the psychology of color.
A visit to Miss White's studio rovcals
thnt sho is an earnest believer in the
psychology of color. Tho walls nnd fur
nltuio of tho studio nio covered with rich
tapestries. There aro different tones or
ornngo and various shades of blue nnd
green.
"Orange," said Miss White, "furnishes
a striking examplo of the psychology of
color. Often while painting my mind be
comes dull nnd sluggish. On these oc
casions I have only to rest my oyes for
a minuto or two on nn ornngo-coloied
tapestry. In n llttlo while my nerves be
como steady again and my mind clenrs.
"I hnvo found that red works disaster
to persons of nervous tempcinmcnts. Phy
sicians have found persons nervous for
no other reason than there Is a bright
red carpet on tho Iloor or naming red
paper on tho wails. I adviso husbands
who nro worried over tho Irritability of
their wives to look for tho somco of the
trouble In the color nrrangement In tho
house. I have known married pairs to
be perfectly happy until they moved to n
new homo wliero there was an unscien
tific color arrangement. Then tho wifo
became very nervous nnd Irritnblo; sho
complained and found fault with every
thing nnd everybody. Nothing suited her,
and tho poor husband was a very mlsor
nblo man.
"Ono of these enses camo under my
supervision. The husband said to mo
one day: 'I don't seo what has come
over Marian; sho used to havo such a
splendid disposition.'
" 'I can tell you what tho trouble Is,'
I told him. 'That hideous red paper on
your hallways nnd living room Is nt tho
bottom of her l! ratability. You havo a
soft violet paper put on and you will
