"When will you be ready. Jessie? You may call at 8 o'clock, If you will, said Jessie, without raising her eyes. It was ten o'clock In the morning when the Morris trap stopped In front of the Bishop farmhouse. Morris was looking his best. His eye was clear, and hls smooth, plump face was ruddy.

Until quite recently, however, a few years at most, nothing was done to reduce the mortality from tuberculosis. Now, however, the attention of the world, the common people and the health authorities, has been called to its curability and preventablllty. The causes, the modes of scattering, and the prevention are all being studied, and an educational campaign ts on to wipe out this white terror. The children suffer from tuberculosis of the bones, the bowels and lymph glands. Tubercular meningitis 1r frequently found In early life and is uniformly fatal.

The cool, salt breeze from the ocean, the aroma from fir and pine, and the odor from simmering clam and seaa trinity ambrosial weed formed enough to make an Aplclus of an anchorite. For an hour or more they walked along the hard, smooth sand, crunching the shells under their feet; the song of the sea in their ears, and its cool breath on their checks. Then the great gong sounded the signal for dinner and they turned to the grove. "Mr. Morris must have been delayed, observed Jessie as she glanced once more toward the harbor, Come on: we wont wait for him. They had a merry time over dinner.
