The girl got out of bed and crossed the hall to her mothers door. Without opening the door, she listened, but she heard no sound from within. Yet still June hesitated, uncertain, uneasy for no reason. In the end she opened the door and spoke softly into the darkness. Mother, are you all right? But there was no reply, and June was reassured. She was about to return to her own room, when lightning flashed again, close by, and the glare of it was bright in the window by Kitty Leafords bed. So June saw her mother for this Instant, clearly. And when the lightning passed, the girl stood still, her eyes dilated. There had been something alarming in her mother's posture, in the way she lay along the bed. With an abrupt movement June turned on the light An coming from the open window In her own room blew her door shut with a reverberating crash; and she leaped with dismay at the sudden sound. But her mother had not roused did not move as June bent over the bed. Mrs. Leaford lay on her side, her head pillowed on her left arm; her right arm limp along the coverlets. June had seen her in a drugged sleep before, and there was nothing patently alarming in her appearance now. But though her mother lay on her side, her head was turned so that her face was upward. The posture looked uncomfortable; and June very gently tried to move her mothers head to the left so that it might be at ease. But when June touched Kitty s cheek smeared with unguents, her heart turned cold. June caught her mothers shoulders. She shook them; she cried: Mother Mother! But Kitty Leaford made no response. June might as well have shaken a bolster loosely stuffed with sand. The girl backed away from the bed, her hands pressed to her lips. She turned and ran down the stairs to the telephone in the halL The Instrument was dead. She snapped on the hall light an electric bulb hanging by one wire in Then the electrio light faded the midst of the gas chandelier and died. and in that naked illumination she tried the telephone again, without ground floor, in the east wing.

When her own door was closed and she was alone, she stood still, even her eyes unmoving. It might be, she thought, the sullen electric air which made her thus restless and full of a vague foreboding.

At the head of the stairs she paused long enough to be sure the others were leaving. She heard someone slide the bolt on the front door, heard Uncle Justus say: Ive fastened it, Denman."

These folk who had been here tonight, and Uncle Jim, who lived In the hut by the pond. She thought of him now with a faint smile. There was sound mirth in him. He used to laugh at these people here; contrived nick- names for them all to make June smile. Grandma Bowdon was the Iron Hand, Aunt Evie the Velvet Glove. Grandma and Grandpa Hurder were the Conquered Provinces. He never sought to make June laugh at her mother, she remembered now. Once or twice she had tried to persuade Kitty Leaford to go with her to meet Uncle Jim. Youd like him, Mother, she had urged. I know you would. But her mother would never go. The girl went mechanically about the business of preparing for the night. Her eyes drifted around the ugly room. She loosed her hair and brushed it slowly for a while, watching her reflection in the mirror above the marble slab. The house long since was still. When at last she turned out her own light and opened one of the tall windows, she saw Aunt Evies house next door was dark and silent too. Also she saw, far off, a flicker in the sky; she even heard the rumble of thunder. Yet the storm might not come this way, or if it did, her mother might not waken. She got into the big bed and lay without drawing any covering over her, for the night was hot, and the air was lifeless and still. The old house creaked all around her; mice scurried in the walls. She must have slept at last, and for an indeterminate time. It was a gust of wind which woke her, a sudden quickening in the tempo of the night. Then lightning etched a net of flame across the sky, and the crashing thunderstroke burst In her ears. June was not afraid of thundershowers; but her mother, despite the drug she had taken, might have waked: June decided to go in and see. She knew the older woman would be. if she wore awake, cower she should do. a car. But she took no time to think of these things. She was already racing across the lawn; she found the gate in the hedge, and felt the smooth hard macadam under her feet, and ran swiftly. Occasionally lightning flashes illumined her way, kept her in the road. She had gone halfway to Doctor Cablers house when a car came down the hill behind her. She tried to run faster, to escape this pursuer; but this was vain, and she turned off the road, and fell, and scrambled to her feet and stood like a wild creature brought to bay. The car stopped beside her, and someone asked a question. She stammered something, for this was a mans voice, and June was not habituated to encounter strange men. But instantly, while he used some persuasion, she found herself in the seat beside him. He offered her his coat, but she refused it. Then this young man beside her turned out the dash-ligh- t so that darkness drew a protective garment over her, and she was warm with gratitude to him. She She watched said: Thank you him covertly, controlling her breath. He asked some question, suggesting that she was afraid, and she told him that she was not afraid. Yet her knees were trembling and her fingers pressed her palms. He spoke again, but she did not hear him. She watched the road, and at the beginning of the path through the wood to Doctor Cablers house, she bade this young man stop the car. He did so, and she alighted, and ran away along the path. But hidden in the wood, she stopped to look back; and she stayed there till he drove on, watching the headlights of his car till their gleam was lost behind a screen of trees. When he was gone, she stood like one bereft, as though with him a part of herself had departed too. But then, in the darkness and the rain, terror returned to spur her on. She ran up the path and so came pounding on the Doctors door. At length a flashlights beam came down the stairs; she could see it through the panel of the door. It struck her in the eyes through the glass; and at the same time the door opened. The light was in her eyes, and Doctor Cabler exclaimed: June! God bless me! She whispered: Come quick. Doctor Cabler!" Come in, June, he commanded, and led her into the hall and shut Youre drenched. What the door.

Usually when a foreigner thinks of Rome, he thinks in terms of the Colosseum, the Forum or the Pantheon, writes Andre Simonpietri in "The RichTimes-Dispatc- n she-wol- f. The science of nutrition teaches us that all body fat originates as surplus fuel . . . that is, food which has been consumed over and above the immediate requirements of the body machine. It therefore follows that in general the problem of gaining or is weight losing concerned with an increase or reduction in the total fuel value of the diet. Shortage or Surplus of Fuel Those who find it difficult, after 30, to avoid taking on excess pounds must learn to reduce the total fuel intake. Otherwise, they may find themselves burdened with a mounting surplus of fat, which not only destroys beauty, but impairs health, and tends to decrease both mental and physical efficiency. On the other hand, those who feel that they must struggle to keep their weight up to normal . . . who declare that they simply cannot gain, no matter how much they eat, should acquaint themselves with the foods and make a persistent effort each day to eat a little more than enough to meet their needs. If a gain is achieved, the result will be well worth the effort. For just as overweight is a handicap to health and efficiency, so have nutritionists observed that physical efficiency may be definitely decreased when the weight falls more than 10 per cent below the average for ones height. It is often said that it is easier to lose weight than to gain it, and in many cases this is true. For the overweight person who consistently cuts down the fuel value of the diet, should, under normal high-calor- ic ( Safety Talks ) At the Crossroads dirty work at the of fable and story has a counterpart in the pattern of modem automobile accidents. The National Safety council reports that in 1937 about 58 per cent of all injury accidents in cit- THE ies occurred at intersections. In rural areas, however, only about 24 per cent of the injury accidents occur at intersections. The council said 52 per cent of the intersection accidents that involved two motor vehicles were collisions. e right-angl- AROUND the HOUSE Nutritionists have observed that many people who find it difficult to gain have a tall, slender type of body build. It has been determined that in people of this type, the digestive tract is usually shorter than in those having a stocky build. Moreover, they tend to be more tense, more active and of a more nervous temperament. As a result, the passage of food through the digestive tract may be so rapid that it leaves the body before all the available nutrients can be utilized. At the same time, these active people tend to burn up more of their food for energy, so it is not surprising that they fail to store body fat, unless the diet is especially planned to meet their viduals belonging to the slender type should be composed of easily digested foods, which can be utilized by the body with a minimum of effort; and it should include generous amounts of concentrated and highly nourishing foods. Included in this classification are eggs, cheese, cream, butter or margarine, bacon, bread, cereals, cream soups, custards, ice cream, rice and tapioca puddings. The addition of two or three glasses of milk to the regular meals will be found useful in increasing the fuel value of the diet. Milk also belongs in the reducing diet, but there it is used to replace other high caloric foods. Fruit juices will be found useful in stimulating the appetite of those who desire to gain; and the fuel value of these beverages may be increased by the addition of milk or cream. An Extra Meal Very often it is possible to get extra nourishment into the diet by way of a light lunch in midor both morning, provided it does not interfere with the appetite for the regular meals.
