and is shielding that person. Look
‘at her letters, Eva—read them—and

Eva took the letters in her cold

another man,” said Jack brokenly,

Eva spoke with a composure

Jack told his story.

Jack went to the window and look-
ed down into the street. Through the
open window came the drone of the
enemy's Zeppelins, malevolent, horri-
ble, like the buzzing of some poison-
ous fiy. Then came the continuous
cannonading of the anti-air eraft
guns, like wildest days of battle. The
searchlights combed the sky with
their ghostly fingers, and people came
tearing put of their houses and raced
through the dark streets.

Jack had often wondered how peo-
pie would act during an air raid. He
felt no fear for himself—it didn’t
occur to him that he could be in dan-
ger here in London—his fear was for

show him I had some theught of do-

What I really wanted to do was to

I was afraid, not of death, but of

“It was my hatredof ugliness, not

{Remarkable Migration Of Game_

Interesting Sight Is Witnessed By!
Geographic Society Expedition
In Africa
| A remarkable migration of game|
jin the Tanganyika territory is re-
| ported by Carveth Wells, of the Geo-|
graphic Society expedition, the re-
| ports being made from the party's

| first headquarters in the Tanganyika)
| territory, East Afrita, where they ar-|
| rived on July 23.

Martin Johnson, noted animal
photographer, who is in the same}
| district ‘with Wells, estimated that}
| there are about 10,000,000 head of}
game migrating across the country
in a solid mass ten miles wide ana}
30 miles long at one spot. |

Zebras were stated to be leading}
the way in a mass ten miles wide and |
five miles deep, followed by miles of}
gnus and other animals. |

The explorer's camp at the time re-|
ported was situated in longitude 35)
east and about two degrees south of}
the Equator. Wells reported that not-|
withstanding this equatorial location)
the air was so cold he had to sleep
in a sleeping bag and wear a thick | 2
overcoat and sweater, while he would |
have been very glad of a hot-water}
bottle at nights.

The party had several exciting ex-
periences with animals en route, par- |
ticularly with one group of eight
lions which investigated the car in}
which Wells was riding, coming to
| within fifteen yards of it and finally
| slinking away.

Sleep mi Repive

Doctor Says Sleep Becomes a Vicious
Habit When Carried To Excess
Sleep becomes a vicious habit when
carried to excess, said Dr, H. M.
Johnson, “sleep expert” at the Uni-
versity of Pittsburglf) Most people,
Johnson believes, get sufficient rest in
the course of six and a half to nine
hours to carry them through the day
and make their work enjoyable.
Sleep is vicious, he said, when It
interferes with more interesting ac-
tivities. Dr. Johnson studied 90 per-
sons of both sexes ranging in age
from 16 to 63 years in an attempt
to discover the secrets of sleep. Wo-
men are less restless than men as
a rule, he finds, and spend more time
in bed. Persons engaged in mental

In his excitement and deep emotion
Jack did not notice that his sister
had not spoken, but sat with bowed
head, like a broken lily.

It was one of the soft nights when

the are just b to
scent the breeze, when there are
those indescribable stirrings and

whisperings of spring. Even if na-

tions are at war and planning the de-

struction of each other, trees leaf and

blossoms open. The streets seemed

quiet to Jack; but for the heavy rum-

~ pling of the busses no one appeared
to be abroad.

Suddenly the silence was broken by

a weird, spitting noise as of giant

fire-crackers; a sound or deadly im-

ever since.

A bomb burst in the square. There!
was a shattering of glass and a)
crashing of masonry; a horrible-con-

fusion of noises, tearings, scream-
ings, concussions, clanging fire-en-'
gines.

which Eva had her suite stood,|

though many houses in that vicinity
fell. All the windows were shattered, |

in which they stood was thrown the
body of a little dead dog,

Eva lay, a piece of shrapnel in her
cheek. :

| THE CANINES

| You have referred to your dog Ro-
ver as a canine—that is what he is. |
This tooth, then, that is the first in|
line behind the incisors, is called the
canine, from being extra we!ll-devel-|
eped as in the dog and other carni-|
vorous animals. |

It is the most primitive type of |
tooth, and is known also as the cus-|
pid, and as the ‘eye tooth,” this last
| being only a popular designation.

j Being ‘observant, you have likely |
noticed that of the temporary teeth,|
this one was the last to be lost —}
serving thus, to keep the upper and
ridges in right relationship for their
permanent successors during the pro-
cess of shedding the temporary téeth. |

But it may be that it remained in|
place unduly long, for not infrequent-|
ly in the upper jaw, the permanent
cuspid, though developing, does not
erupt, in which case the temporary
cuspid should be retained as long as
it remains firm and sound, depending
solely on the advice and responsibili-
ty of your dentist.

Now notice this point: Ovyerlying
the root of the upper canine, is an
the “canine eminence,”
which serves to keep the tissue at the
angle of the mouth well filed out.
Then should you lose this tooth,
this eminence disappears, with the
| resultant falling in of this tissue,
| giving you prematurely the appear-
| ance of age.

if you would keep your youth-
nce, beware. See to it
that your “eye-tooth” stays’ sound,
and free from the clutches of your
dentist's forceps.
