To be sure, she j had been shopping all day long and | had acquired more articles than her shopping bag would hold. It might be something she had bought and forgot ten—Marcia's tea cozy, perhaps. But, no, there was the tea cozy In the brown wrapping paper. The conductor was already calling Claybome Heights ond she had no more time to think. It must have been that In the taxicab there had been an unnoticed parcel on the seat, one left there by some previous passenger. At home she unwrapped the bundle and looked at the contents with a sud den Intake of breath. A tiny green goddess stared np at her unbllnklngly It looked to Vera like an exquisite bit of workmanship and she hurried to the telephone to notify the taxicab company.

She dressed hastily to run Into the city when It occurred to her that per haps, after all, there had been some thing in the Interior of the goddess. While dressing she reconstructed what she believed to be the story. Perhaps the owner had carried gems Inside the green goddess. Perhaps this contain er had been left on the sent of the taxicab that she had Inter summoned. But who had been In that taxicab between the time when the owner of the green goddess had lost It and the time she had Jumped Into It? There was a possibility thnt some one else had found the parcel, opened It ex traded the gems from the secret hid ng place, replaced the goddess In the wrapping paper and left It In the seat for some unsuspecting person to find and return to the proper owner. Beads of perspiration began to rise on her forehead. If tills happened to be the story she might be arrested when she returned the goddess emp ty. They might accuse her of taking out the jewels! She figured herself in the headlines of the newspapers, her work as Sunday school teacher and community worker being played up to the limit by thrill seeking report ers. There was one way of making sure obout the Intrinsic value of the little green goddess; she could take It to old Mr. Wells, an expert on antiques and enrioa.

A delay would mean that some one else would sell him. Regardless of the time Involved, a trip to New York and back for another goddess would cost far more than the reward.” “ I was afraid you’d think I was a thief.” Vera explained, with relief. “I do think you're a thief." he said slowly, watching her rising color with evident enjoyment. “ But It Is a thief —not o f cold Jewels—but warm beurts.” And suddenly Vera was more than glad that she had found and returned tbe little green goddess! Why Did Nature Equip Rattlers With Rattles? The mystery of why rattlesnakes have rattles Is propounded by Dr. EX G. Boulenger, director of the London aquarium. In a contribution to “The Wonders of Animal Life," a serlnl publication now appearing In England. Any utility of this apparatus to the rattlesnake “Is very problemat ical,” Doctor Boulenger remarks, “ for whilst It may serve as a warning to approaching enemies, it on the other hand draws the attention of hostile creatures to Its presence.” One suggestion qf naturalists. Doc tor Bouleuger says. Is that the souud of the rattle may be mistaken by the small animals on which the rattle snake feeds for the noise of running water. Thus the deceived creatures approach the sound, are spied by the waiting reptile, and are devoured. There Is no actual evidence, however, that this Is the case. Many other poisonous snakes have the hubit. Doctor Boulenger recalls, of vibrating the tips of their tails back and forth rapidly when alarmed or when about to attack, Just as the rat tlesnake does. If the snake Is among dry leaves or loose twigs, this tall mo tion may produce almost exactly the same rustling sound, he states, as does the special nolsemaker of the rattle snake. Whether this tail-shaking habit of these snakes without rattles j Is related In any way to the habitual warning of the actual rattler is an other part of the mystery, awaiting a solution from some observer of these reptiles.

A TROPICAL LUNCHEON This type of luncheon will be much more appreciated where snow covers the ground than 'fM It will In the -, .- summer. As our markets furnish . / j d neurly everything g r o w n In the tropics, one, If the purse Is large enough, may go any length as to menu. Yellow nnd green are the tropical colors, und the table may be decorat ed I d these colors ; fruit will form a most appropriate center. Pineapples cut Into wedge shapes to the core (which Is the way the Hawallans serve It), bananas, grapes, melons, will add their note of color to the fruit centerpiece. The citrus fruits are al ways In the market as well as many other tropical fruits. A lei or wreath of paper flowers may be hung for each guest on the hack of the chair; this gives a most festive air to a simple feast The food should be appropriate to the occasion. Apricot Ices, pinenpple salad or avocado pear, served with french dressing and sliced cucumber alternating with slices of ripe tomato. Grapejulce punch, banana whip with fresh grated coconut, or salmon with coconut, pickles, and any good dress ing, makes a most tasty salad, served In nests of head lettuce.

Way to Happiness Simple says California Physician After 28 Years’ Practice Describes Natural Treatment which Keeps People Well • A F T E R over 28 years of the study f \ and practice o f medicine, during which time I have treated and supervised the treatment of almost every variety of human illness,” writes Dr. Martin J. Dobson of Loa Angeles, “ I believe I have dis covered the greatest blessing that haa been bestowed upon the human family. Statistics show that of all cl s a w of persons, physicians and nurses live to a riper old age than any other class of people. I believe this ia no doubt due to the fact that they know more about the impor tance of daily elimination. Dr. Dobson’s Discovery “ The remedy 1 am «peaking o f la colorless, tasteless, harmless to the most delicate alimentary tract, from infancy to old age. It ia non-habit- formir.g, and it is essential to the smooth running efficiency of the human body, which needs lubrica tion just like any other machine. “ T h » remedy is Nujol. “ Moat human ailmenta can be traced to the alimentary tract for either the main or the contributing cause, and most of these disorders can be prevented or cured through proper cleansing and regulating by the administration ol Nujol as per instructions on th« botti« and wrap per, or as ordered by the physiciaa or nurse.” Nujol Laboratories considers it a privilege to publish Dr. Dobson's endorsement of Nujol. Physicians and nurses themselves use and advise you to use Nujol regularly to clean the poisons out of your body (we all have them), be cause these poisons are what make us (eel headachy, depressed, low in our minds. It is always safe to use Nujol, because it ia not a medicine; it con tains absolutely no drugs; it cannot hurt even the littlest baby: it forms no habit; it is non-fattening.
