Be- not suffer ”physl.cally and the family doctor 1" may advise the parents that the -child will likely grow out of it. many boys and girls develop an inferiority complex, some of which complex remains even after the enuresis has-disappeared. Fortunately the condition, which .is caused by emotional disturb- ances and often by poor training by the parents when the child was young, can now be cured or corrected in the majority of cases. I have written on bed-wetting several times. as there are always a number of parents who do not like to speak to the family doctor. Today he does not tell the parents that the child will grow out of it, but prescribes a drug that will en- able the child to get along, till norning. Drugs usually prescribed ,Ire atropine and belladonna. Of , course all cases of bed-wetting He not due to poor parental training or emotional disturbances. There are some cases in which a slight defect in the urinary organs is causing the trouble, which defect is usually not difficult to adjust.

But when the great day ar- "rived. it was found that her suc- cmornouitrsnoc take up her rial; mistress asked her if she would not postpone the ceremony. "Change the date, change-your fate. ma'am." the girl answered. "It's the flying in the face of Providence to alter wedding ar- rangements: but. if 'Ei"oert is agreeable. I don't mind getting married and then coming back for I fortnlgiit." The young man was amenable to the arrangement, and half an hour after the ceremony the bride was back at her usual duties: "And has your husband gone back to work, too. Mary ” asked her mistress. "Oh. no. ma'am." was the shock- ed reply, "I-ierbert wouldn't work on I great day like this. heis gone sEb an-raga: i ELlEli'S nuinv A By Al Illllld Farmers Wlle i What fine letters we receive, all to set thoughts I-roving) A recent one was from I woman. come now to her sunset years. She grows old gracefully. young at. heart. interesting and interested. She has retired from active work to bits of needle-craft. her books and writing. her Church and her memories. In girlhood. undoubt- edly attractive she "could have married but didn't" being some- what reluctant to leap chasm between her prosperous home to one where many of those comforts would have to be fore- gone in the initial stages of build- ing another. And has been. we be- lieve, a little lonely ever since. though hers has been a busy life. devoted to the service of family. and friends. James is of the cpin-.3 ion though possibly only in theory, that it is a very wise girl who stops to oonslder the financial as- pects of a suitcr. "Dont let heart dim your sight" we heard him advise a sweet young thing only recently. "But never mind that" we countered "it all depends on the man. If he is ambitious and willing, of good habits and kind. given that yqu like him. sup- posing that he hasn't much of this world: goods. marry him!" And James laughed and said "That would work out fine, if folks did- n't need to be fed and clothed. There's where the rub comes in.

He felt no fear whatsoever as he stepped into the pii-ogiue and squatted. down In If. and his self-confidence was wholly Justified. A sense of power .and freedom swept over him. and with the awareness of these came a return of the triumphant con- viction iiha-t he could not only res- cue Drew but win Celeste. in spite of every obstacle. Above the sound of the river he seemed to hear her singing - not the ”Ave" which had mystified mm. but those lilt- mg songs of love whose meaning she guessed only by instinct. Still exalted. still confident and triumphant, he paddled up through the easier water along the levee. listening intently to the sound that the river made. If he could see. through the darkness. the out- line of the slice of oaks leading to the house. he could follow it. He felt the current catch him, and sweep him back, faster than he could battle against it. But at the same instant he saw the out- line of the house, itself. He knew he could not be far from the quar- ters then. and he believed he could force his way to them. Feel- in-g himself in the grip of the cui-- rent, he still did not fear it. He had kept the pirog-ue on an even keel so far. The water was chok- ed with flotsam that went hurt- ling by him in the darkness. poles and planks to judge by the half- carught glimpses. He could feel the slackeni , of the current. Soon he would be through the worst of it. The rest would be easy. it was only I matter of minutes before he would reacih. Drew. He could not understand what it was that suddenly caught him across the chest. His -legs were free. they had shot ahead of him as the pirogue slid out from under him. But his body was first pinion- ed and then entangled. All at once he remembered. The new barbed wire. which. in thinking of every- thing else. he had forgotten until then. The pirogue had slipped be- tween the lower strand of it and the upper and then sped on. But he himself was ensnared by it. In the same instant that he knew this. the prayer which all day had elud- ed him come clearly to him at last: "God. give me one more oi-iI.n.ce!” It was the prayer that was still on his lips as he fell back- ward inio the water.
