Tom communicated with Pelice Pardc also, and wrote letters to certain Gfe«: men, who had been remembered by his father. Guessing, however, that his friend might be alarmed at the prospeci of coming changes, and ask his own future if the mine were sold young Ayimer begged Pardo to feel no sort of uneasiness for himself. "Needless tCc "If I were a buddhist," Jacob hacg declared, "and believed in reincarnaâ€" tion and transmigration of the soul, 1 should be much disposed to think that Benny Boss was peering at us from under his parrot‘s purple eyelids. Jane approved. "Quite likely," she declared. She heard the old story of her bird but Tom was to busy for some time to think again about it. Everything provâ€" ed to be in order, and, at his sweetâ€" heart‘s advice, he determined to sell the mine if a purchaser were forthcoming He wrote to Fernandez accordingly, and in the course of a few weeks learnec that Jacob would dispatch competent persons to make investigations. say that Angus and you will be all right whatever happens." he told PFelice. Pardo, he guessed, would stop with the silver mine in any case and prove his value to a future possessor; while as for the Ssot, Tom always seen in him a great explorer, and guessed tha! presently Angus and himself, and possible Jane might probe the ruins of buried and add to the knowledge oi the world concerning them. Upon the subject of the future Jane had spoken quite definitely, and after hearing Mrs. Aylmer‘s wishes declineC to consider them for a moment. "To live with your mother, Tom is utterly unthinksable," she said. *"We‘re very good friendsâ€" as far as two women can be without a sing‘e ideal in comâ€" monâ€"but if she were as angelic inside as she always looks outside, I still wouldn‘t risk it. You must tell he: it couldn‘t work. She loves society and we loathe it. She is more sophisticatec than anybody I ever met, while you and I are utter ruffians when it comes : social life. To live in a town houee with your mother would be Hades, anc Her new gift was made welcome and Jane soon won the Peruvian parrot He took up his quarters in a warm house, where the din of lesser parrots cheered him, and he swiftly perceived the emzaging qualities of his mistress. while sheâ€"an expert in bird physionâ€" omyâ€"declared the blue and orange stranger to have som>what human cast of countenance. "He looks like an old manâ€"but not a very nice old man," she said, and her remark reminded Tom of something that Signor Fernandez had told him in a jesting moment. Jane was a dark sirl, handsome rathex than pretty. Experts decided that her face showed too much character and intelligence for beauty. Her eyes were dark and not very large; her brow was somewhat high her countenance distinâ€" guished by a perfect mouth and nose, and a chin, not massive or particularly large, but finely moulded and firm of contour. Hiar colour was high, her hair black and lustrous:, She took care of herself, but cared not much for clothes, and disliked the addition ol cosmetics, In this attitude Tom supâ€" ported her. Jane had a dimple on her left cheek which her lover declared to be more precious than any posstble decoration from a beauty parlour. She was twentyâ€"one, tall, slightly built, but strong, practical, not lacking in tact, and a sound woman of business. Her brother esteemed Tom Aylme:r highly, but felt a little depressed under present circumstances, because he knew that his sister must soon leave himâ€"a prospect that made him uneasy. Synopsis After receiving word of the death of Tom Aylmer‘s father in Enzland, Ayâ€" Imer and his friend Ansus Maine, deâ€" cide to sail for the Old Land from Peru where Ayimer is the manager of a silver mine owned by his father and beâ€" queathed to Tom, A parrot is bought by Tom as a present for fiance, Jan Bradshaw. The bird repeats words that Jacob Fernadez, a rich man from Lima, believes are significant. *"Benâ€" ny Boss." the parrots repeats, and it is thought this refers to a man who dealt more or less illicitly in jewels. (Now Read On! Prospective Motherâ€"inâ€"law Jane Bradshaw dwelt with a brother with small means, but every year the industrious pair betteredâ€" themselves Nicholas Bradshaw, like his sister, lived for the aviaries, and stood high in the kingdom of birdâ€"fanciers. Jane had made special culture of that exquisite Australian grass finch, the Gouldian. Mastered the difficult requirements of these dainty and costly little gems, and crowned herself with glory when she produced a yellowâ€"crested bird instead of the usual black or crimsonâ€"headed varieties. Thus her name was reverâ€" enced where Gouldians were known and she found the cult increasingly popular despite such stiff prices as her treasures demanded. Nicholas specialâ€" ized in budgerigars, and had achieved a new colour. He dreamed of a starlet budgerigar, and pursued his quest with undying hope, despite scientific asâ€" surances that the achievement must be impossible. w w M oo d oo oo d se t d We ho oo o o0 ho t# @2Â¥AAA LAAA VC M P .oo oQO.s'ooxozoo 00. # 000 000000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000000 00000 # 00”000000000'00.0.00\ 00 00.0’000’0‘0000000.0'0.:000.00.: ralast aateatacts ate atieate BCo ate ate ate atects atent Eden Phillpotts "this pursuit of rearing tropical fow!] for profit\iis unworthy of you, Jane.‘ He always talked like that. Jane, however, preferred Gouldian finches to the paths of scholarship. Mr. Barbour tended to be a little stiff with strangers until he had gauged their calibre.

But patience was needed, for Janes gorgeous parrot had now turned his attention to the Kookaburra, who Angus guessed that Jane‘s new parr might possibly be speaking an oBsolet south Amsrican language; but Tom r minded him of old Jacob‘s comme when he first propounded that theory "A language," said Mr. Barbour, "di Ward.

But his small slateâ€" solcured eyes were bright behind his unusually large spectacles; his mouth was neat and firm; his chin tended to recede.

Everybody awaited any results with ‘inâ€" terest; but to Jane there sounded a mocking and even cynical flavour in her bird‘s utterance. Mr. Barbour proceeded upon his curious task with utmost solemnity and threw no light upon what might be in his mind; but at length he begged that the parrot should be removed. ‘"‘Take him away," he said, ‘"‘and leave me quite alone with my memorâ€" anda for the space of one half hour, please.

Our method of examining recruits for overseas service was to have them walk across the floor and note if large tendon going down to heel ‘bone came straight down to the heel or turned outward letting inner side of foot come down. The recruit then knelt on a pillow and we could see if there was a white or clean spot where arch had held sole off the floor instead of letâ€" ting whole sole of the foot reach the ground. If the large tendon was turnâ€" ed outward and the whole sole of the foot was black from touching the floor, Flat feet are common and if not brought up by exercise or supports or both, it may mean other symptoms besides painful feet. The knee joint and all the joints in the spine between bones are put under a strain when the arch of the foot falls. Fiat Feet May Cause Pain in Legs, Mips, Back and Head An elderly man consulted his physiâ€" cian about a pain in inner side of his right knee. Examination showed a flat foot which allowed the lower leg (beâ€" low knee) to swing inward thus putting strain on inner side of knee. A plastâ€" er cast was taken of the foot, a supâ€" port made, and the pain in the knee disappeared.

A third exercise is to walk around the room three times on the outer sides of the feet. Results can often be obâ€" tained in six weeks to six months. The first thought in the majority of cases of flat foot is to try to strengthen the muscles which hold up the arch of the foot making the foot look like a claw. Two simple exereoises done twice daily to a count of twenty each are: 1. Trying to grasp a marble or other object with the toes. 2. Raising the body slowly from heel to toe, holding a few seconds, and then coming down slowly. HMHowever, some of these flatâ€"footed recruits were very anxious to go over with the infantry and when the feet had enough "spring" in the arches to raise them from the low pillow up on their feet again (without help from their hands) they were accepted. Their feet, although flat, with arches down, were not ‘risid‘ flat feet.
