f [=sa=^== m NEIGHBORS [ y ANNIE A. CURTIS. "Can yon be satisfied here, Maud?" asked Mr. I^urrowes. "Well, I dot't know. It's pretty hard to tell," replied his wife. "It Isn't the city I shall miss, It's the people. They will all be different, of course." "Tea, I suppose so. I remember bow dissatisfied Ruth was when she and George went out West" Joe's sister, Ruth, was frankly dlslllked by her sister-in-law. Maud had -come nearer quarreling with her than :any other member of her husband's family. The classing of her sister-inlaw's case with her own raised a spirit of opposition within her. "If he thinks I'm like Ruth he'll find Im not" She quickly thought of the reasons for moving to the quiet country place. They had been such sound reasons, too. Several times the doctor had advised fresh country air for her. "And just because I saw a woman 'In a funny sunbonnet while I was out :there I am stopping it all. I won't be i?o foolish, m make the best of it i anyway." Joe still stood absently tapping the ;window pane. Maud touched him on . -the arm saying, Tm going to like it, :Joe. Til get acquainted with every ^neighbor and Til make them like me." ! His face gre\* lighter as he looked ,'at her. "Good for you, Maud. When .we take the car out it will be better for you." "Oh, yes, Til take you down to work every morning and call for you every night Til give everyone round a spin." "We'll have parties and invite all of our old friends out," said Joe. "And don't forget the new ones, j They'll have to come to our parties." In due time the car arrived. Joe had fixed a part of the barn for a garage. Every morning Maud took j him to work. "Why don't you go for a ride mornings, Maud?" he asked. "I'm afraid I'll miss someone who -calls to see me." "I never thought of that Hasn't Anyone called yet?" . "No one yet." she said. ' He tried to console her by saying that everyone was busy at that time of year. But the busy time passed and no one called. Maud Burrowes lost her pink cheeks and the wistful look was always in her eyes. Mr. Burrowes asked their family doctor to come down to spend tne day. "jusi look her over without her getting suspicions Doc," said Joe. "I thought the country would agree ^r, with her. There's lots of company round here isn't there?" "That is the trouble. She likes company and has always had lots of it. I can't understand why people don't call." Summer was nearly gone when Joe again thought of the doctor. "HI get him down to see if she's improved, and if she hasn't we'll go straight back to the city. She was happy there." The doctor called again. Maud was very pleased to see him, but did not go from place to place, bidding him to follow her. "This will never do," the doctor said to himself. "She's lost interest and lost her courage." Tm going to give up this place and go back to the city," cried Joe excitedly. "I don't think that will do," replied the doctor. "Why, why not?" inquired Joe. "Because Maud is not strong enough. molra har taVo an Intprpsf 1VU aiuoi uiaav uv*. ?.uuv w In things." "How can I? If people won't be friendly I can't make them," replied Joe, very much puzzled. "Well, do something. You must think of something, Why." said the doctor, as he boarded the train. A day later Joe complained of not feeling well, "Oh, I hate to go to work, but I suppose I must," he said. An hour later he came back home. Maud cried out at sight of him. His face was swollen and red. "Oh, what is the matter. Joe?" "I'm sick. I guess I'll lie down for a while." "Til get a doctor," said Maud. "There Is one at the village." "I won't see him. If you get anyone call our old doctor. There's a telephone at the next house." Maud dreaded to go to those people who had never called on her. She tapped at the door and a woman appeared. "May I use your telephone?" "Surely." "Is this Dr. Jones? Come right out to the house. Joe is sick. On, can't you come before night? I'm all alone." When she finished talking with the doctor tne woman toucnea ner arm, saying, "You are all alone. I'll go right back with you." Maud told her the story of her loneliness. "We thought you did not want us to call. Then we?hesitated. One of the neighbors heard you make fun of Miss Field's sunbonnet and she is t the dearest woman in the world." i 'Tm so sorry, but it's all right now. i isn't it?" sobbed Maud. I Joe wished to see the doctor alone. "What's up Joe?" asked the doctor. B Joe answered in a whisper, "I put poison ivy on my face. I knew they would come in sickness and it worked. H They have been coming all day. But ^B fix me up, Doc, I must go back to B war.V BRIEF DOTS ABOUT PEOPLE IN AND AROUND SWANSEA Whew?'tis beginning: to fell like November now.

Any person who doubts whether the +ViirH roil pall of the American Red r 'Cross is meant for him can decide 'easily enough by asking himself a few questions. Do you belong to any sect or organization which, by its creed, forbids you to help another or to assist in a movement designed for the help iof others? Then the call is not meant for you. Do you believe that health is a matter of no importance whatever and that every enterprising community should have policemen, firemen, jails, theaters, skyscrapers, chutes and schools, but no hospitals, no doctors, no nurses, no sanitarium, no clinics, no provision for the prevention of disease ad the relief of suffering-? Then don't join the Red Cross. Is it your opinion that when a city is swept by fire or inundated by flood, when its families are made homeless, its men killed and maimed, its women and children brought to starvation and thirst, they should be left to their own resources and should have no organization on which they can call for salI vation ? Then you do not believe in the Red ! for a Purj g, hard miles of real usef ger and stronger and stur >re faithfully than you've I )o, with tough, black non ;-walls. t to an ideal! *est Concern in the World to Wo: t Concern in Existence to do Basi -? ^ S p 1DWARE CO. ^ .... _ ?

Are you so young that the whimper of a crippled puppy is beyond your comprehension, or so old that the cry of a little child does not penetrate your senility? Then the Red Cross is not within your understanding and it does not seek your sympathy. Are you so blind to misery, so deaf to pain, so hardened to pity, so proof 'to all feeling for your fellowman, that you do not care a dollar's worth what becomes of everybody else in the world ? Then don't join. The Red Cross can get along without you. Only remember?should the time ever come when you yourself suffer, when your eyes are wet with tears, when your own face is contracted with agony, when your on hands are up- lifted in supplication for succor, your refusal won't matter. The Red Cross will help you?just the same. ? ? # NEWS FROM CHAPIX RT. 1. To The Dispatch-News: We are having some delightful weather for gathering crops.
