other thing.
The soldiers' home mailer Is the

Caution Is Wise
There have been other similar
epidemics, but really never very
serious. The quarantine officials of
the United States as well as Of
other countries' have now provided
Bach methods of Inspection for the
discovery of this disease that un
doubtedly we will rarely or never
hear of It again.
Parrots Which have been In 'this
country for years are not carriers
of the disease, so there is no oc-:
caslon to get rid of your old pet.
The problem of control relates
only to recently Imported ani
mals. 1 am sure, we have heard the
last of parrot disease. Yet an ounce
of prevention Is always worth a
pound of cure. If you have a par
rot and auyone in your home has
been utling with fever and grippe
like coiupmlniH, talk with your
doctor. This should Ik the rule
If the parrot appears sick or be
low -par.

CAPtlER XLV.
Ardeth spoke of tho store then,
spoke with a curious indifference.
The little shop which for so long
had been the dearest thing in life
was suddenly a thing outgrown
and therefore of little value. Sell
the stock. Close it out. When the
current bills were paid there would
be a sufficient sum left to support
her for a time. After that time
would tell.
Tom was gone, the headlights of
his car dying out along the road.
Hlack night closed down about the
cabin; the sharp spring night of
the high places.
Ardeth sat before the dying fire
in the living room, listening to the
whisper of the pine trees outside,
and to Kens deep weary breath
ing fn the bed room.
It seemed a strange dream.
Ken's breakdown was more se
vr than any of them had realiz
on that first day. Had he stayed
in the city had he been held in
a sanftarium against his -wishes,
he would have rebelled and the
results would have been disastrous.
But in this soothing quiet, and
with Ardeth's continuous presence,
he was submissive and content.
Nature supplied her own remedy
in the form of deep, exhaustive
sleep.
To Ardeth time went on in an
undisturbed dream. Two days of
peace, filled with sunshine and
the smell of the pines. Reality
could not reach her. Despite Ihe
abrupt change, It seemed strangely
natural to be here.
There were times when she
found her heart leapfntr as she
thought of the shop, bu they were
infrequent. Hard to imagine thhe
teeming city, the rush of intent
humans up here In the quiet
mountains.
Two days filled with the trees;
with the small tasks of the house
hold. Ken did not gather the true
meaning of the situation. Most
of the time he slept. When he did
rouse his words were dreamy and.
after eating he drowsed off again.
His weary mind and body were
drinking up rest as a sponge
drinks water.
Mid-afternoon of the third flay
the silence was broken by the
sound of a motor. Tom drove up
before the cabin and beside him
was Mary Kastwood.
l.lack eyes smoldering with ex
citement. Mary stood beside Ar
deih on the porch. Tom had gone
in to see Ken, nd Mary tired the
opening shot.
"Ardeth. my darling child, what
cra.iness is this? To siav here like
this '
'M know It's not conventional,
hut souiet hues conventions must
be thrust aside, Mary dear." Ar-1
deih's tranquil gaze met Mary's
steadily.
"Conventions oh, rubbish!"
Mary wrung her hands in her
earnestness. "It isn't that I care!
Nor Ff-ed. Or even dear old Tom.
though I think he's really heart
broken. Put you can't slap the
world in the face. Ardeth. What
about when you go hack?"
Ardeth shrugged. She had leaned
hack aeainst the rough sapling
which formed the rail of ihe porch
and her eyes went up to a tall
pine which seemed fringed with
silver in ihe clear light.
"Time enontrh to take that up
when I have to. Mary. It was a
case of deciding quickly. 1 couldn't
let Cecile get Ken even if she
wanted him. He needed me. I lis
tened to the world's opinion. Mary,
and look what it did nearlv kill
ed Ken. Now he's mine. Ho is
weak and sick and I'm going to see
that be gets well. I'll never leave
him again, I don't care what hap
pens." "Hut. darling. It xill onlv end
in a scandal. Cecile is furious and
she's beastly self-riuhteou;. She'll
hang on lo Ken legally now. just

rfie gin continued to regard the
pine with a faint smile. "Cecile
doesn't matter any more. Mary."
"Not here, maybe. But later.
You can't spend all your days in
a mountain cabin. And you're not
the sort of woman who can get
away with this sort of thing, Ar
deth. Not the flaunting adventuress
type. Life can hurt you."
"Life has hurt me." Ardeth's
eyos had come back to regard her
steadily. "And Ken needs me."
"What does Ken say? What
does he think?"
Her face was lovely with ten
derness. "He doesn't think, Mary.
He's like a man drugged. It just
seems so blessedly right to him to
have me around here thut he ac
cepts it as natural. Honestly, Mary,
I think that another day of the
strain would have been too much.
He'll be all right, but he's as weak
as a baby."
Mary Btared at her helplessly,
suddenly finding that she had no
te guments to advance. There was.
as well, a serenity, an aura of quiet
happiness which Mary had never
before seen.
Kine and true, she seemed,
standing there in the sunlight. A
sweet gravity, a thoughtfulness
about her which was new and
more of the woman than the girl.
The older woman's eyes filled
and she put her arms about Ar
deth. '
"Oh. my dear, if T could only
make things come right for the
two of you. Damn Cecile and her
selfishness. I'll have to tell you
I went to see her as soon as Tom
told me. I pleaded with her I

own smile. I could tave killed
her."
Again Mary was struck by the
tomplete Indifference of the girl'&
attitude.
"Cecile can't make it right or
wrong, my being here," she said
earnestly. "Ken needs me. Thats
all that counts with me. Cecile
is responsible for for his lying
in there like that " She pointed
back to the house. "This sickness
