Helen looked up from the book she was reading as the kitchen door closed With a bang. At the same tipie there was a noise as of something falling, «nd the next minute Nora stood in the doorway, her apron wrapped around her arm and her lips white and trem bling. "Whv, Nora, what is it?" as the girl stood silent. And then noticing the hand wrapped up in the apron, "You've hurt yourself; let me see it right away!" Helen unwound tbe apron from the girl's arn* and then started back. "Nora, you've burned yourself hor ribly; how did j'ou do it? The girls arm was burned badly from the wrist to the elbow; already the skin Jmd Iblistered and was falling away in places. It was the kind of a burn that needed fnedlcal attention immediately to prevent a terrible scar. And so far Nora had not spoken a word. "Come into the bathroom, Nora, and J'll put something on it that may make jdt feel a little better. We'll have the here as soon as 1 can telephone iior him." . Nom followed Helen into the bath jroom and while Helen rummaged round in the little medicine chest lor tgauce and some ointment that she Iknew was good for bums Nora stag gered and vyould have fallen had not iHolen pushed her down into a chair. "You poor thing," she said, "how idid you do it. Nora, or would you Irather not talk?" Nora smiled faintly. "The lard that fwas left frorfl the doughnuts. I was [pouring It into a bowl, and It tipped *ip suddenly." Helen nodded sympathetically. She was examining the arm, which was in ■L truly dreadful condition. There was ijio possibility of wiping the grease away, for the skin was too badly 'burned, so Helen smeared on the oint ment and wound the gauze, around it loosely. Then she ran into the tele •phone conscious that It might have .been better to do that In the first place, and oalled up the doctor who had always been called on whenever they had needed him. "Morningside 1985. Yes, Central. Hurry, pleas**. Oh, no, this Is a pri vate wire, certainly!" Would they never answer! "Hello, .hello! Can you hurry that number, iplease, Central? Yes, I know; yes, Dr. 'Bentley. Hello! Is this Morningside "1985? Yes. Is Dr. Bentley there? 'Just gone! Oh, dear! No. Nothing, thank you. good-by." Helen hung up the receiver, won dering what she had better do. "Does it hurt very badly now. Nora?" she called, and then as Nora did not answer she rushed into the •bathroom to find the girl had fainted «way. There must be someone she could get to dress the arm. There was a new doctor in one of the apart ments downstairs—she would try him. Rushing baek to the telephone, she rang up the boy downstairs. "Is there a doctor in this building? Yes. Dr. Marshall? Please connect me with his apartment." The boy, conscious of the fright in Helen's voice, for once attended to his business, and a second later a man's voice answered Helen's friehtened "Hello." "Yes. this is Dr. Marshall." A New Doctor "This is .Mrs. Curtis. Could you fome tip immediately, doctor? My maid has burned her arm. Yes, we are on the fourth floor. Thank you BO much." There was a click as the man hunts up the receiver and Helen turned thankfully away. Then she hurried over to the sideboard and poured out a tiny glass full of whisky, which she forced down N'ora's white lips. A mo •m»nt later'the bell of the apartment •rang and Helen ushered in a tall, very (good-looking youn? man, who bowed •to her professionally and then looked inround Inquiringly Tor the patient. "She is in the bathroom, doctor. She has fainted once, although I tried to do the best I could for her till 1 could get someone." Helen followed the cToctor into the .bathroom and watched him as he be fran unwinding the handage from the Firl's arm. The whisky had partly re vived Nora and again she smiled Be Your Own "Repair Man" In Summer the human machinery easily gets out of order. Don't dope it with drugs or drinks.

The doctor said nothing and Helen watched him interestedly as he ran some warm water into the basin and dropped in a couple of blue tablets whioh dissolved very quickly. "Put your arm in the water," he said, finally, and as Nora obeyed he began spreading some brown salve on a fresh bandage. "This will set her up all right," he said, turning to Helen. "It ought to be dressed a couple of times, but I don't think she'll even have a scar. How does It feel now?" as he carefully wrapped the gauze around Nora's arm. "Much better. I thought so! I'll come up to-morrow, or she can come down to my otflce; but she'd better not use her arm for a day or so." Nora walked slowly out into the kitchen as Heleu showed the doctor to th» door. "Thank you so much for coming right up, doctor. I was so frightened and I knew it was too bad a burn for me to dress permanently." "You did very well," and he laughed a nice boyish laugh. "Your prompt dressing took a lot of the inflammation out of the arm." And then with a bow he was gone. Helen hurried back into the kitchen and found Nora on her knees before the icebox, getting out some things to prepare for dinner. Her right hand was fastened up in a sling to prevent her using it. and she was using her left hand rather duqjsily. A Brave Girl "Why, Nora, do you think I'm going to have you working around after a bad burn like that? You get right up and sit here in the kitchen chair while I get dinner ready." "But I feel fine now. Mrs. Curtis." Nora protested, "and I can use my left hand all right." But she sank back thankfully into the chair that Helen pulled forward, while Helen picked up some of the dishes from the floor and began making arrangements for War ren's dinner. "I'm glad 1 had a steak sent in for this evening, Nora; it's the easiest thing in the world to cook. Let's see; that goes into the broiler, doesn't it?" "Yes, ma'am, but 1 never start the fire under it until Mr. Curtis comes in, Then it's always done just right. Mr. Curtis likes his meats rare." "All right. I'll Just put it in the broiler and have it ready, and then I'll light the gas 'ator. I guess I'll cream some potatoes, and we'll warm those carrots up for to-night. Is there any lettuce in the icebox? Oh. yes, I'll slice some tomatoes and make some mayonnaise. 1 know you were going to have fruit salad. Nora, but we won't bother to-night. And we'll have the doughnuts and some canned fruit for dessert. Why, what's this? Oh. Nora, did you break one of these plates?" "Yes, ma'am." admitted Nora, meek ly, nursing her wounded arm. "It was on the table, when I burned my arm and the pain was so bad I couldn't see for a minute, and I just shoved it oft before I knew what I was doing." Helen hesitated. She hated to scold Nora for anything right now, but the plate had been an expensive one, one of her best dinner set, and she had told Nora repeatedly to be very careful i about leaving any of the set around | the kitchen, where they might be | broken. A Clever Retort "But what was the plate doing there? I told you not to leave those dishes around the kitchen, Nora, don't you remember?" "Yes. ma'am." said Nora again, "but 1 was just going to carry some dough nust in to you. and they do look so pretty on those plates." Helen had to smile at the girl's art fulness. "What about the cake plates, we have two or three that are very much like this one." "I know, ma'am, but I was in a hurry, and they were all in the other closet. I'm sorry, Mrs. Curtis," and Nora looked up at Helen with a real apology In her honest eyes. "Well, we won't say anything more about it this time, Nora. I'll try to match the plate downtown. But re member after this not to use that china unless I tell you to. Now I guess everything is about ready. Don't bother about anything, Nora. I'll come out and light the gas under the broiler as soon as Mr. Curtis comes in." The QUARRY By JOHN A. MOBOSO Copyright, 1913. by Little, Brown & C* Despite his effort to remain In the background of workers, he was quickly recoguized as an expert and waa ad vanced la wages as well as In tbe Im portance of bis tasks. By sheer force of ability be had attained tbe degree of mechanical engineer and was al ready at that point of bonest attain ment wben at any moment be might be called to atrip off bla overalls and step to tbe desk of a ten thousand a year man. Nelson did not feel that bis first mill was the place fo? bis ultimate effort to reach the top. He had come whence no man knew. He bad no past to of fer. He could give no reference of any sort as to his life or character. He could never tell truthfully where be bad gained tbe working foundations for the kn> fledge be possessed. He prepared to move on and mnde his first request for a letter of recom mendation. which was gladly given by bia superintendent. With tbls bit of paper in his possession he hnd estab lished a past He had something by which be could identify himself ns John Nelson, mechanic. No one wonld have to taWe his word only; he could offer this reference. The few kindly words of praise written at his request were more precious to him than silver or gold. The garments of a In borer were n» longer suitable. He parted with them for clothes of better texture. His old pack was cpst aside forever, and In its place was a heavy trunk, big enough and strong enough to carry his ward robe and the books he hnd begun to buy with his savings. He said goodby to his first mill and took the train south, crossing the North Carolina state line Into tbe Piedmont section of South Carolina. His objective was the mountain city of Greenville and tlie great plant ol the Reedy Itlver mills. These mills were situated ouLskfW of the city and were famous not only for their superb equipment and product, but also for the administration of their labor and social affairs. They made a commu nity by themselves, a community gov erned by the president of the company, a humane, wealthy and capable man. Montgomery had every reason to be lieve that he would be safer employed with the Reedy River company than he would be elsewhere in the cotton belt He sought first of all cover from his pursuers. He left the train at Greenville and found it a thriving little city resting in the deep, cool shade of the Blue Ridge mountains. He looked toward the distant giant tumuli; they seemed to him a wall that God had flung up against his pursuers and as a mighty (tockude against the evils and miseries of the outside world. He ordered his baggage sent to the hotel near the station and took a trol ley car to the mills. He found the superintendent, Howard Lansing, anx ious for just such a man. satisfied with the letter of recommendation, and was employed at high wages Immediately. Here, among the mountains, be would make his stand and his fight. Here was the home of John Nelson. James Montgomery was dead. CHAPTER IX. The Coming of the Woman. HOWARD LANSING, WHO HAD Immediate executive charge of the great working force of the Reedy mills, was a master both of men and machinery. At the half century mark of life, be had come to admire and hold as tine two things —ability and decency. These two things struck cameo-like to his vision in John Nelson, who bad applied to him for work, modestly, as a plain machinist. No tnngie of a million threads from the bobbins brought an exclamation of disgust from his lips. No solution of any Lntri-, cate mechanical problem caused bim to exult Nelson was Lansing's kind of man, and the superintendent Invited him to come and live at his home. Both men were taciturn, appreciative, but with holding their words, as do most men who handle and care for the wonder fully animated sinews of Industry, which speak only with their product Nelson was glad to accept Lansing's offer aud transferred his belongings to the superintendent's comfortable home on the curving red road that runs from Greenville upward toward Paris mountain. Mrs. Lansing welcomed the stranger, and her little brood of four children soon accepted blm as n member of the family. His bedroom windows opened to the blue mountains, which cut him off from the rest of the world. In these surroundings, which gave him almost the full charm of domes ticity, Nelson started bis new life with a growing sense of security. There was no idle moment in the day's calendar of hours and minutes for John Nelsou. He worked not for the pay that was given, but the pay was Increased from time to time, and monthly his earnings went to swell a bank account that reached three fig ures.

Over, In Orphans' Court, is awarded the income from his father's estate, which has been denied him by the trustees since he was adjudged insane for the slaying of Stanford White. Hy the decision Thaw gets $1110,773. Judge Over says Thaw is legally entitled to the money, despite that fact that alienists declared Thaw lis suffering from an exaggerated sense of self which would make it unwise to commit any large sums into his personal charge. The fight for the income began last January, when Thaw filed a petition asking for $30,000 to defray legal ex penses. The Fidelity Title and Trust Company, of Pittsburgh, the trustees, took exception. The court allowed the petition. Later the trust company was permitted to send alienists to examine Thaw, claiming he was insane. Thaw refused to submit to an examination, it Is said. The trust company then asked that Thaw be compelled to submit. The demurrer to this motion, filed by Thaw's attorneys, was sustained in Judge Over's decision.

Physicians Recommend Castoria O ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma- ceutioai societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: //«#— I The Indisputable evidence that it is harmless? second—>That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi lates the food: Third—lt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It. does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information. — Hall's Journal of RecUth. ■'fc Letters from Prominent Physicians BB|i| - — — addressed to Chas.
