And yet it Isn't so very extraordi nary. Much . of the knowledge In medicine has been gained at . the autopsy table. The first students of human anat omy . Were undoubtedly the ancient embalmers. Their craft, however, war. of a mysterious and rellgiouB nntiire and they were tittle concern ed with medicine or the study of diseases. During the middle ages, the dis section of -human bodies for the study of anntotny or of dlsense conditions was not looked on with favor and in many parte of the world was strictly, forbidden. ; This prohibition seriously ."handi capped the progress of medicine. After ithe Renaissance, the attitude toward dissection became mord lib eral. The study of the constitution and structure of the human body made great progress. Then with ft proper knowledgo of the normal, It was possible to study the abnormal conditions associated with disease. Autopsies became a common prac tice. From the bodies of tho dead were gathered facts that could be applied to tho safeguarding of the life and health of the living. There is hardly a branch of medi cine that has not profited by autop sies. And there Is not a human be ing alive - (today (vhose existence hasn't been rendered more secure and more comfortable because of the hundreds of fundamental facts which were and are being discovered at the autopsy table. As an Illustration wo may take tho disease, parrot fever or psittacosis. When it first appeared it mystified tho entire medical world. But by means of a few autopsies and other studies its nature was discovered and means for ts . coptrol. established , . IS FOUND! OUT OF DEBT VNELLINRLEy, ) e I VoU GOT W.E,MEN... I j !JHECES THAT .

Against the Instability that such a precarious existence en tnll3. alio saw the solidify ot the old Thayer mansion. i . Dr. More had turned to her and was asking, "Your aunt tells me you have lived so long In. Europe.', have you ever stayed In aermany? 1 want to go there one day to study.". "Ho," siio niiswored Indlftereniry, "I've never been there. And not fir years and yoars do I want 16 )s6 away. If you know how glad 1 am to bo homo!" ' ;; ' to nodded silently, looking at the tnces under the glow or the yellow globo. Sheets ot rain blew against the windows. The dining room was warm und cozy and th'ey were rest ed and stimulated by the hot food. Nora saw his look and she added honestly, "1 -meant. With, my hus band's puoplo. Do yon lino the Van Voratfl?" -sho naked with sudden interest. He told her no, drawing his vel vety brows together. Norn com pared him with Jon again, his thin: plain fnce, sensitive, humorouB, eager, without Jon's pride of race. But Jon was treacherous. , .. Her heart swelled with anger as she thought ot him, VMr. Vnn Vorst bought up all the land down by tho river for a mile," Nora Bnld tor tho pleasure ot think ing aloud about them. "Vnn Vorst," Fergus More mused. "I think 1 do remember that name' now. -Was tt he who bought up n whole village so that tho people who were foreigners had no place to go and had to give up their livelihood It seemed a great pity to mnkC those pooplo ienve what had once been a thrllng sottlemchl," he concluded. :-i , Nora said' Impetuously,' at this hint ot criticism, "I'm sure It's much moro Important to preserve thai beaiitltul country without ugly small shacks" "Yea, more beautiful for the Van Vorsts," he admitted. She flashed a glance at him. He did not approve of her, she could see, but who was tills poor strug gling young doctor to approve or disapprove? After supper when Fran had car ried tho sleepy baby up to bed, she returned to piny the violin fdr them Nora was carried out of horBelf, away from the firelight and Intent faces to the old Dutch house stand ing high above tho river. There life was lived bountifully, grncofully mid thero she too would live It. That nh;ht ns sho and Frances wont to bed, she told her her plans "Don't you want Us to help you with your clothes?" Fran offered generously. "I don't want them to be ashamed of me," Nora admitted. "nut how could they? Poverty Is nothing to bo ashamed of. And your father's father was governor of the state and Uncle Chapman was judge ot tho Supreme Court" "And my own mother was the daughter ot a IIUlo shop keeper In Cork!" Nora said laughing. "And I'm proud of It!" They discussed Just how far her money should go, what she would need. . Hallle had Joined them and she offered her opinion: "Tho most Important things are shoes and hats. A well dressed womnn should think ot those first.' Nora looked at tlnllle in the drnb brown dress with the sleeves thai showed her bony wrists, and the high black shoes laced about ber distorted ankles. . . . In the evenings now they clus tered about the table wnere Frances pinned lengths ot crepe de chine to tissue paper patterns, while Aunt Em mado tho sewing machine hum. and tlnllle set In ouo flue stitch after tho other. Thero was something pleasantly him he was to keep the engine at lis cab running after, .parking In front of tho place, bo they could make ;a quick get-away.

"What for?" asked Mayor Portenf Los Angeles. , . tli "Not what you'd use It for," Mayor Baker returned as the visitors shouted with laughter. .... t Intimate In these evenings as they laughed and talked together, i 1 , "Mother, take those pins out ot : your mouth; you're worse than Dickie!" Aunt EmIW laughed and related one ot Dickie's amusing experi ences. ' ' Nora listened. Joined In their laughter, drawn closer to the heart ot the family. She eaw that poverty ha4 not embittered them. It seemed to have added s zest tor the hopes and struggles and small triumphs that they faced each day. On Monday Jon was to come for her. On Monday the sport dress of leat green, the white crepe that Fran had made so exquisitely, the crisp linen were all laid between tissue paper! the allupera, the small hat. and suede gloves were ready to slip on, on the lnatatit. And It Was on Monday that Dickie was burned. ' The colored woman, Mattle, who came every Monday to wash, had lifted a pall ot boiling Water from the stove, and Dickie, who bad been playing under the kitchen table, ran ttlll tilt Into It. . f : Nora heard his sudden,-piercing stream. She rushed downstairs to And the baby In agdhy and Mattle,: - ashen-gray, groaning and crying out to the good Lord to save them all!.

She heard Dickie's small moans like those ot a tortured animal. She speht a terrible morning trying to; get Aunt Em who had gone out to give , muslo lessons. Fran came home, 46 white and sick with fear that Nora could not bear to see her.-. ''Frances-will help me," Dr. More' told Nora ourtly, , '. : ; Fran's Intense quiet, Hallle So; strong 'In . this emergency Werei stlange to Nora.
