t C s 7/3}/ Saf As she emerged upon the street, things had begun to happen. The gecond manâ€"the shorter one, who wore a hat of green velourâ€"was pois. ed before the window of the corner whop. That window was full of jewelâ€" Jery, and the man held a brickbat in EKve mechanically noticed these things, hardly aware that she was obâ€" serving them or that they had any significance. But when the taller of the pair slipped into the driver‘s sgeat her intelligence woke up with & jerk. It needed only the rattle of the newlyâ€"started engine to send her seudding down the two flights of stairs three steps at a time. Mechanically she noted that the hardâ€"worked doctor had drawn up his ear before the apartment building opâ€" posite, whie Le paid his regular afâ€" ternoon visit to the girl who was gaid to be dying there. And the two fashily.dressed young men whom she bad recently noticed hanging about the street corners were again taking an interest in the car. Fle salaries paid to typists by softâ€" goods houses in the quarter of Lonâ€" don to which she was _ summoned were not apt to be liberal; and Eve thought of yet another phrase exâ€" pressing bright but earnest endeayâ€" our, which might serve as a useful impromptu. Eve CGilchrist sat at the window of her bedâ€"sittingâ€"room, looking down upon the activities of the London sireet two flights below her. Her mind was only half.conscious of what her eyes registered, for Eve was conâ€" sidering what she shou‘d say at the appointment which whe had to keep en the morow. She had been out of work nearly a month now, and the anxieties and deprivations of unemployment were wearing upon her. It was not much ef a pest that she was likely to get; His partner and his partner‘s bride made a rare fuss of the farewells; and after Lorna bad flung ber arms about his neck and hugged him, Weâ€" therby «lipped a bit of paper in his hand. Dan put it secretly in his pockâ€" et, and as the Moonâ€"along thrust her nose past Sydney Heads he took it out, knowing what he should find. Miss Gladys Clements, Truro Villa, Slade Street, Hillingdon Well» he might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb! Dan didn‘t say yes, but he didn‘t say no. They dined festively and sumptuously that evening; and Gorâ€" don Wetherby was so sentimental that Dan felt that the same Continâ€" eat would not contain them. He spent the rest of the night packing for the sudden journey and writing letters and arranging his affairs for an abâ€" gence of some months. "Anydoubt about it will be removâ€" «d," Prescott, it you go to London, and tell intending shareholders the honest truth. That‘s all Medlicott will ask of you. You‘l find him a prince, and you‘ll have a good time." "I suppose it‘s all right," Dan said doubtfuly.

"I‘m afraid you are in for a pair of ‘em; but don‘t look so scared. Honourable scars, as I am ready to testify." TO BE CONTINUED "A black eye!" Eve interrupted, in utter dismay. "O4, am I going to have a black eye?" "To the nearest chemist‘s shop," he replied. "There we can get a coolâ€" ing lotion for your face. If a black eye is taken in timeâ€"â€"" "Where are you taking me?" she asked, struggling to regain her selfâ€" control. In an instant, as it seemed to the dazed girl, she was sitting in a taxiâ€" cab, looking at a smiling man in evening clothes. He was not young, as the greying hair at his temples proclaimed, but the wrinkles of laughter about his eyes and the mirthful curve of his lips made Eve think of a boy, somehow. "Plucky kid!" said an approving male voice. "Are you feeling all shakâ€" en up, after that shock? Step out; I know the place where you ought to go." The car was moving quickly now, so quickly that the man in the green ‘mat failed in his effort to spring on the dashboard. Eve saw that with a glow of satisfaction. _A po!iceman, who had turned up from somewhere, was struggling with him in the next instant. The doctor, shouting in angâ€" er, was running in futile pursuit of the vanishing car. The little shopman was retrieving the plunder scattered on the road; and he had more helpers than he deâ€" sired. The street seemed full of peoâ€" ple now, but the centre of attraction was the captured man, and the poâ€" liceman who was handâ€"cuffing him. She could see the thief‘s fist comâ€" ing, straight for her face. If she changed her pose, to avoid the blow her resistance would be overcome. Then her head went back with a jerk, and she knew that there was nothing in her clutching Ahands. The girl staggered dizzily, and then went down before the heavy blow. "Leggo!" hoarsely commanded the struggling bandit; while gold rings and chains dripped from his fingers on to the asphalt of the road. Eve braced her feet, for she was being dragged towards the car, She was aware that people were coming; she heard â€" sceuttling feet and excited queaks and calls. "Look out!" warned the man in the car, as Eve caught the robber by the sleeve with both hands. As she did so, she saw a little man emerge from the raided shop, his face conâ€" torted with the fear and horror ot the moment. It seemed to Eve, clutâ€" whing desperately at the thief, that tie shopman was executing futile dance steps on the thresbold, while he cried in a thin yvoice for help. She restrained an impulse to ¢ry for help, and ran forward. The brick crashed through the window with an appalling din of broken glass. The man in the green hat snatched with an incredible swiftness. When Eve met him, he bhad nearly gained the moving car, and his hands were full of gleaming booty. his hand. The car was moving slowly towards him, the man on the driver‘s seat too intent on the actions of his confederate to notitce Eve.

A Hat To Wear If A horticultural artist must have a wide knowledge of botany and Miss Walker explained very ofen she can tell the patronage of a flower by merely rubbing the foliage or a petal between her fingers. "My pictures must be exact reproductions of the flowers, for size, color and distincâ€" tive markings so they can be recogâ€" nized by flower growers for what they are," she said. "I painie@d 120 different kinds of Canadian wild flowers from Monâ€" treal to Vancouver when I was here in 1928," the visiting artist said. "Canadian flowers have a remarkâ€" able beauty and grow very well in England. Lady Byng has a Canadian garden in which she grows dozens of different kinds of Canadian flowâ€" ers and shrubs. I bave been asked to paint it." l She has been awarded medals at exhibitions held in London, Paris, lPhiladelphia and Ghent, and her \pictues have been hung in Paris salons and the Royal Academy in 'London. Miss Walker is the official artist for the Royal Horticultural Society in London. "I was simply drunk with delight," said Miss Walker. "When i1 went into the Yosemite Valley in Caliâ€" fornia before coming here ana found so many flowers that have never been painted before." She painted 150 varieties in California since her arrival there in March. She explainâ€" ed her prize is a picture of a bloodâ€" red snow plant that grows at the line where the snow melts in Cali-l fornia.

Winnifred Walker Adds To Canvas Records Now Famous During the same period _ drivers 65 years of age or older figured in 11,860 motor car mishaps, of which 850 were fatal.

Prairie Flo w ers Painted for London According to statistics â€"compiled by the â€" Travelers Insurance Co., 16,890 drivers under 18 years of age were involved in accidents in the United States last year. In 980 cases these accidents were fatal. Something might perhaps â€" be said here about bad â€" manners in referring to one‘s elders, but let that pass. What is really important is the question of fact. This youngster who ~signs himâ€" self "Not Quite Eighteen,." says, "It is not the young men and young ladies that cause the accidents, but doddering old men and women." A youthful contributor in someâ€" what heated over a suggestion by another writer that the minimum age limit for drivers of cars be made 18 years.

Fruit to Baby‘s Diet Canned fruit, unless specially preâ€" pared for babies, contains too much sugar to be suitable. Older children can take care of a great variety of fruit, But in hot weather watch that they don‘t ‘stuff" on it when they are too hot and the fruit is too green. ’ FRUIT MUST BE RIPE At three years cooked or raw fruit may be given up to five tableâ€" spoonfuls. Pineapple juice is good but the pulp is too fibrous. You may add to the fruit diet now grapefruit juice and apricots. But all and any fruit must be ripe and sweet. The things to avoid for the child of this age are raw berries and melons, alâ€" though raspberries may be stewed and strained. Stewed _ strawberries and blueberries are all right too. Never use spice in cooked fruit for young children. ’ Raw fruit is allowed most baâ€" ‘bies af a year and a half if they are well and other diet changes are not impending. As usual it must be started in very small amounts anrd must be crushed. It may be given alternatelg with the cooked frait, if desired. egin with a tablespoonâ€" ful of the raw fruit and pradualiy increase. Eliminate skins and seeds. the specialist now adds grapes, which must be seeded, skinned ard crushed. If it tends to stimulate the bowels too much give up all raw fruit until later. _ LEAVE SOUR FRUITS ALONE Any fruit that is sour and reâ€" quires too much sugar is bad. Rhuâ€" barb, for instance, he seldom sugâ€" gests on that account. He says that dried fruit is good, too. Skins are best removed; then crush the fruit finely or strain it. Two or three tablespoonfuls may be given with the supper at five o‘clock. He also varies this with a little ripe banana, mashed, of course. A child this age will bolt things whole, and that is never good for him, _ Perhaps you WR * Pse yet w heno th & mesiremenmeriided ce day‘s work is done are too tired to enter into the g’:d times that This diet is not usually varied much, except under. specific order, until the baby is a year old. _ Then he gets into second grade. A wellâ€" known baby specifalist â€"recommends cocked apples, peaches, pears and even sweet cherries or plums. Little babies under six months had better stick to orange juice, prune juice, and tomato juice. The time for enlarging baby‘s fruit diet\is usually about sir months. Applesauceâ€" and stewed prunes then come along to brighten life. Both must be cooked thoroughiy and with very little sugar. They should be strained, and the first dose is one teaspoonful. Once a day is enough. After a few days increase the amount slightly if the fruit agrees with baby. GIVE IT AT NOON 1 We are, 6of course, talking aboutt a well child. Don‘t experiment with new foods when he is ill. If one or the other and either apple pulp or prune pulp is too laxative stop it. Or reduce the amount. If he canâ€" not take care cf it at all, wait until he is older to give it to him. Around his nearâ€"noon feeding is the best time to give it. If all goes well he can be having as much as two or three tablespoonfuls of the fruit by the time he is seven or eight months old. HEALTH MEANS CHARM AND HAPPINESS About this time of year mothers are wondering what fruits may be safely given young children. Should they be raw or cooked; canned or prepared at home? How much is plenty?

With him, it is an inborn talent, and worth intrinsiâ€" cally many thousands of dollars. Unâ€" fortunately, he is a vacillating sort of fellow, lacks persistence and conâ€" tinuity, and entirely fails to make any really practical use of his talent. He has drifted from one job to anâ€" other, and often finds it difficult to make ends meet. Mowever the mere possession of a Aalent is by no means everything. We all know people who are talented in a particular way, but who do not reach any heights of attainment; who, in fact, drift along without evâ€" er doing anything really worthâ€"while. Handwriting does indicate taient, when there is talent in the writer. This is not to be wondered at when we realise that handwriting comes from the brain, and the brain is the source of individual power and caâ€" pacity. It is not surprising that many of the letters 1 receive from readers ask whether there is any indication of talent revealed in their handwritâ€" ing.‘ Jt is, after all, natural that people should be vitally interested in finding what is the best line of enâ€" deavour to follow, and any informaâ€" tion that helps them to get the best out of theif capabilities and make the utmost use of their latent talents is always welcome.

Too many irons in the fire often means that none of them are propâ€" erly attended to, and the result is failure. Versatility is a good thing to have, too, but specialisation more often leads to success. There are people who can do a good many things, but who fail to get anywhere because they jump from one thing to another. Again, there are people without any real inborn talent who, through sheer persistence and the faculty of payâ€" ing the price of sacrifice, attain great heights of progress. Many of my correspondents reveal talent potentialities, but they Jlack one or the other of these vital in gredients without which all the taiâ€" ent and genius in the world is mis. placed and neglected.
