At the time the story opens, the expectation is that these two will marry on Tom‘s next leave in England. MRS. MERCY AYLMER: Tom‘s mothâ€" TOM AYLMER and ANGUS MAINE are enjoying a holiday on the hills of Peru when news from England tells of the death of Toms Father. Tom knows that his father has bequeathed to him the Peruvian silver mines of which he (Tom) is manager, sYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTER Before leaving Lima for England, ‘Tom buys a parrot, to give tO his flancee. JANE BRADSHAW. Accordâ€" to the dealer, the parrot is about sevâ€" enty years of age. On the liner, the bird talks to JACOB FERNANDEZ, a rich man O Lima, who is bound for Panama, and whose lifeâ€"hobby is the study of birds, But the only words he can defect in a string of sounds are "Benny Boss." Ferandez says he knew a man of that name, and proceeds to tell Tom and Angus what he knows. Benny was a man of mixed parentage English and Peruvianâ€"who, for d time, fifty years earlier, worked for Ferandez. Piecing together what he learned about Benny in later years it seems that Benny had been engagâ€" ed in dredging on Lake Titicaca for jewels thrown into the lake at the time of the Spanish Arrived in England, Tom the help of an expert linguist man is baffled. Eventually Jane solves the problem by the discovery that moSt of the words are English spelt backwards to disguise the meaning of the message. They make the sentence "Table Top on Equator west Galapagos Cache Manâ€" eater George at Geyser," and this is constructed as being a direction to the hidingplace of the jewels in which Benny Boss was interested. Excited by the theory built about this message, Tom, Angus and Jane decide to go and investizate. Tom insists that PELICE PARDO should be included. The estate of Tom‘s father having been proved at an amount largely in excess of expectations, and Tom being the sole heir, he feels that he can af ford the expense of fitting out a small exâ€" pedition. "All in good time, mother," said Tom. "That‘s what Jane said.

She then turned to another subject. "Jane seems to think that you won t marry until you return, but I hope you‘ll make her change her mind about that." she said. "It would be very emâ€" barrassing for a single girl to live in a ship entirely full of men. But if she were married to the leader of the exâ€" pedition , one would feel happier about her "She‘s got an idea that it more embarrassing if we were explained Tom. "I don‘t see but she does."

Not one quarter part of it, Felice, as Aylmer says, but all. "Look back after these things," she concluded., "I‘d say that Benny Boss knew he was going to have danger and trouble to recover his jewels, so being a whimsical fashion of a man, he inâ€" vented his riddle, and left it behind him for other people to ‘guess if they could. should he never come back, and foreign English folk have guessed it, because it‘s an English riddle and was easy for them to do so."

Rest The Main Treatment In Acute: Heart Disease A physician friend telephoned me reâ€" cently and stated that he jwas going inâ€" to hospital that evening for a rest as he had had a slight heart attack an hour previously. As he expected to be there for two or three weeks he asked me to drop in and see him. It would be just a social call as he contracted his heart condition in France during the War and was naturally under the care of the military physicians. As I thought of his large practice and of his own active personality I wonderâ€" ed how he would remain in bed during the four to eight weeks that is usually prescribed. He informed me that the electrocardiogram showed the disturbâ€" ance present. As expected, his first statement wAs, "I‘ve decided to stay in bed here two weeks, then go home and rest in bed another two weeks." I asked him if that would be the way he would treat a patient with an acute heart attack. He admitted that he would insist upon the patient resting flat on his back for at least a month, but of course he knew enough to ke?p quiet the only thing that will heal the conâ€" dition ahd it can‘t heal if you are not at complete rest." I knew he realized the seriousness of the condition and that undue effort, a large meal, or to0 much excitement might be fatal at this time, and was disturibed in mind as he spoke again of his plan of returning home in two weeks. + Fortunately the heart specialist, after reading another cardiogram, advised that not less than six weeks must be spent in hospital, flat on his back. L sA +h Ay NXE NE # L PPR m ECC that not less than six weeks must be spent in hospital, flat on his back. Immediately _ afterwards, another physician dropped in and casually reâ€" marked, "What‘s the trouble? Had a coronary attack? ‘That‘s nothing. I‘ve had three attacks and simply go to bed for six to eight weeks, take things easy for another six weeks, and here I am, doing my work the same asS ever‘". To see this sturdy acquaintance, lookâ€" ing so well (despite the attacks of corâ€" onary occlusionâ€"blockage Oof a bloodâ€" vessel by a blood clot) due to the fact that he was willing to cive the heart. and bloodvessels a real chance to was just what was needed to make my friend willing to remain in bed for six weeks, and to rest most of the time for a couple of months afterwards. I bolieve the above little story, that physicians, to give the heart a real chance to get its power, do not deâ€" pend upon medicine, but upon complete rest in bed, should be an object lesson to all of us, particularly to heart patâ€" ients who may think that medicine, not rest, is the big factor in treatment. 4 Why Worry About Your Heart Is it skipping beats, is it murmuUrâ€" ing is it large, is it smallâ€"send toâ€"day for this instructive booklet entitlec "Why Worry About Your Heart?

This question has been the subject of editorial discussion in a number of newspapers of late. Widely different angles of the situation were discusâ€" sed, but the three editorials read by this column on the matter all uphelda the newspapers. The Ottawa Journal thinks that the suggestion that the newspapers help to make war by chronicling war news is nothing short of absurd. It is backed pretty much by the Lindsay Post which reproducâ€" ed its editorial and the Porcupine Adâ€" vance. The Journal is rather severe on Mr. Euler, Canada‘s minister of commerce, for a statement to the effect that newsâ€" papers are largely responsible for the public belief that wars are inevitable. Hon. Mr. Euler May Not Have Been Very Wrong The Journal takes the view that Mr. Euler is crticizing newspapers for| chronicling war news and says his reaâ€". soning suggests that such action helps make war a ‘bit childish, The Porcuâ€" pine Advance adds: "Newspapers do not make the news, but just chronicle it. Refusal to menâ€" tion war wouldn‘t stop a single conâ€" flict, nor alter it. This has been aptly illustrated in recent times, by the fact that one war after another, crowded older wars out of the news, but the old wars bobbed up again as lively as ever." There is no question that the Jourâ€" nal and Advance are right in arguing that newspapers chronicling . straight news happenings could have little if any bearing on the situation. But Mr. Euler might not have been so "childâ€" ish" as he might at first have seemed when one considers the wild deductions and propaganda which are sent out between ‘"news hapening" under the guise of authentic news from certain newspaper correspondents.
