Polly put dona the candle and slipped the dress from her shoulder. IIow dreadfully It hurt herl Oh, how she wanted something to make her misery less! But squatters did not have money to spend on drugstore remedies. From an old can she poured a little , coal oil on a rag and bathed the In- j jured flesh. Then she took up the j lamb and dropped into a chair by the table. In sheer exhaustion her head sank down upon It. After a while she straightened up, threw back iier curls, and raised the lamb's face to hers, a wry smile flitting across her lips. "It's goin' to be a hard job lnvln' Oscar and' Old Mure like Jesus loved wicked folk, Xannyop," she said under her breath, "but mebbe now I been face to face with a angel, I can do it." Again her head fell forward; 'but almost instantly she arose, and with the lamb in her right arm like a bahy, moved to the side of the bed. Then she snuggled the lamb under the blankets and put Granny Hope's Bible beneath her pillow. Carefully she slipped oil her clothes and put on a coarse nighcrobe. Then, having snuffed the canule, she crawled in beside the j lamb. "" CHAPTER VI. Twice had the golden sun sunk In a welter of splendid colors behind : West hill, niul twk-e had the warmth J , of his rising scattered the mists from j the lakeside since the encounter in the j hut, and I'olly Hopkins was making j ready for her daily walk through the i Silent City. It fw?s her custom to go among the i squatters and give them courage, to j tell them that they had a right to I their homes, to food, and warmth. How j her girl's heart ached for their dumb j misery! Surely the squatters had suf- i fered in the past year! Many a boy ' had been taken from his home and J sent to France, and many a mother j had crept about the settlement with ? grief-worn face, waiting for news from : over the sea. Pollyop understood what war meant. The squatters were al\vn.vs dt war! j Granny Hope had explained to her that, whenever people fought and were cruel to one another, that was war. Hadn't she warred but two nights ago with Oscar Hcnnett? She had not seen him since, and the pain an'] humiliation ho had doalt her had been lightened by Granny Hope's assurances that love was the leveler of hate. So Polly, having quantities - of love and sympathy to spare, sent it broadcast over the hopeless <iups in the settlement and promptly put Oscar Kcnnett's cruelty out of her mind. * She did not even- remember sometimes how much the milk Oscar had begrudgingly given her was missed in the shack. To offset that deprivation, she was free from him and the ugly quarrels she had had jojseUle almost iuntry* II my [flier White ' | RHLivlngstone^^l jSrowTTandr Garry any t| (Tally between him nnd" Evelyn. This morning, while Daddy Hopkins was In Ithaca, Pollyoo started out with her many love^ for a walk. On her shoulder perched AVee Jerry; at her side, In stntely dignity, stalked the billy goat, and tied to one of her arms by a small rope gamboled Nannie Lamb Hopkins.

Beyond the row of shacks was the fence Marcus MacKenzie had erected to keep the squatters from trespassing on his woodland, and in front of It Polly Hopkins stood. A bill poster had passed and left on the fence a picture that caught her attention. It was a beautiful woman, her eyes saddened with tears, and she looked I straight out of exquisite coloring at the wide-eyed squatter girl. In her arms was a withered, sick, little man. and Pollyop knew that somewhere over the ocean an enemy, perhaps a man like Old Marc, had hurt him. The woman held him close as she looked at Polly, and for a moment the girl's eyes stung with tears. Then she went closer to the fence and spelled out the words under the picture: "The Greatest Kofter In the World." Ah! So she was, this protector oi the hutt and the sick 1 The Red Crosi poster carried Its wondrous message to the very bottom of (he squu'ter I fc**1 ? 1IV<IA A sound, close at hand, caused her to turn swiftly. A man en horseback had drawn up on the side of the road, i The blood came In swift leaps to Folly's face. There was the "beautiful angel" looking down upon her! What could she do but stare back at 1 hlni? In another Instant he had dls1 mounted and was coming toward her. Jerry slid from her shoulders to the ground. Pollyop's hand clapped his; but she did not speak. What had hap-/ pened to her "angel?" He looked dlf?J ferent; more like the other men she occasionally saw on horseback. That was It! He wa? not wearing the olivedrab uniform' To add to her confusioh Robert Percival was smiling at her in the most friendly way. Then he glanced up at the picture, his fine face saddening. "The Greatest Mother In the World, little girl," he said, and he smiled again. "The Greatest Mother in the World," repeated Pollyop, In awed tones. "Does that mean she's mother to the squatter kids what was hurt in the war, mister?" "Yes," he replied after a short pause. "Yes, it means that, and more. She's mother to every hurt boy and brings comfort to every one on earth that needs help." "Golly, she's some mother, ain't she?" breathed Polly soberly. "She's beautiful too. Squatter mammies has too many kids to stay handsome like her." She made a backward motion with her thumb toward the fence and searched his face gravely. A choking sensation In Robert's throat made him cough. The girl's statement was like a charcoal drawing in which a few broad lines tell the whole story. He felt his interest in her increase. She was the quaintest, prettiest and most solemn child he had ever seen. Yes, he knew she was an inhabitant of the Silent City by the clothes she wore, and the thin, bowlegged child, to say nothing of the bewhtokened font nnrl woollv lamb that were with her. "Wlint's your name?" he inquired. "Just Pollyop," was the answer. "Polly Hopkins. My daddy is Jereminh Hopkins, the mayor of this settlement." Surely! Robert remembered very well MacKen/Je speaking of Hopkins, and he remembered too the painted invitation over a hut door as if it were before his eyes. Looking Pollyop over from the top of her curly head to the tilts of her bare feet, he decided that site had written it. Question after question he flung at her, and answer after answer came from Polly's lips. Site told him where j she lived, and how she cooked the beans, bacon and fish Daddy Hopkins [ provided; how ?'ohl it was in the | shanty when the cruel north wind swept up the lake; and how wet it [ was when the rain fell and clammy | fogs shrouded the world in gray; how I (irannv Hope was sick with pains. She gave him an inside view of life in the Silent City. Long before slie nau finished her recital. IVrcival's courtesy had put her at her ease, and she was | chat tor Inn like a magpie. 9 "Can 1 do something for you, Polly Hopkins?" queried Hubert, as she flti! ished telling about life in the squatters' city. She flung out both hands in a coin! prehensive gesture us much as to say he could see for himself how much she needed. "Sure, sure you can," she said with fierce emphasis. "You can make Old Marc leave us squatters be. You're I bigge.r'2. lie. Isl The squatters need you'aVftirria cfT7 ' Her voice broke. Robert took a long breath. Of course he could help this girl and her people. He would, too! As far as money gave power, he could equal and surpass Marcus MaeKenzie. "I did try to talk sense Into Mr. I AMCltenzie H ueuu, lie rcmrntru jirfs* ently, "but now I will mnke blm leave i you alone." I In spite of the curved lips about which a smile lurked, there was apprehension In her voice when she asked: "Can you Hck Mm to a finish, mister?'' "Yes, I think I conld," laughed Robert; "but It won't be necessary." "Then I see us Silent City folks beln' happy again," sighed Polly. "We got a awful lot of things an' folks to take care of here." Robert made a sweep with his arm that encompassed the group before Mm. "You have, evidently!" he laughed. "An' I got more home," Interjected Poliy. "I got Daddy Hopkins an' Granny Hope?an' this brat Is my brother, an' this goat Is Billy Hopkins an' this lamb's Xnnnyop. Oh, sure, air T'i-p erm n hall Int to love In this good old city." Polly made an upward motion with her hand toward the picture on the fence. "She'* got a bunch to love, too," she saUI sbftlv. ^"Atrt't she?" . (To be Continued.) DOCTOR URGES PUBLICITY Health Commissioner of Now York 9ays Thoy Should Advertise. Publicity, if properly given, would wipe disease off the face of the earth in the opinion of Dr. Royal fc>. Copeland, Health Commissioner of New York, In an address before the Advertising Club of that city. Advertising should be the medium, the health commissioner declared, by which the hitherto dark secrets of the medical profession would bo placed before the public to prevent plague, disease and pestilence. Dr. Copeland vigorously condemned the so-called "code of ethics" of doctors who make a secret of cures for various sicknesses. "Sort of Miracle Man." "The medical profession through the ages has chosen to make itself a secret thing," Dr. Copeland said, warming up to his subject. "The doctor has been looked upon as a sort of tniracle man. He has hidden his wisdom behind a veil of silence. An air of mystery has surrounded the profession, and we have developed a code of ethics. "This I bclive, is the most antiquated moss-covered and germ-laden institution in the v/orld." To illustrate his contentions, the health commissioner cibcd cancer, which he said, is curable in the beginning of its growth. The public must be taught this, he declared. If more information were given by the medical profession about cancer the disease would never reach the cancerous stage. Power of Advertising. The power of advertising was vividly shown by the publicity given to pr. Adolph Lorenz, the famous Viennese surgeon, Dr. Copeland continued. "Dr. Lorenz did not bring with him any greater ability than at least twenty surgeons in this city possess. Other doctors Copeland stated did not let the public know they could cure paralysis, and so the public remained In blissful Ignorance of their ability, nut wncn newspapers began to exploit the feats of Dr. Lorenz 35,000 persons flocked to him to receive his treatment. "There Is something wrong with the system that makes it impossible for the sick or the crippled person to know he can be healed," Copeland went on, "and the fault is with the medical profession, which has been unwilling to advertise what it can do." HOPE FOR ARABIANS. New Interpretation of Balfour's Promise. Jerusalem, Feb. 14.?New hope has been aroused in the hearts of the Arabian people in Palestine by the publication here of a statement made by the London Morning Post that the British * A crlvfk Q nPU* ifl gUVKI I1U1CIU luiciJucu lu tt' - ? terpretation to the Balfour promise to make Palestine a Jewish homeland. That declaration has been a thorn in the flesh of the natives of Palestine, who are fighting tooth and nail the idea of a "Jewish home" in the Holy Land. Their delegates have roamed Europe in an endeavor to influence public opinion in favor of a Palestine for the Palestinians. It is rumored here that-a larger measure of self-government will be accorded the Arabs, that they will be allowed permanent majority in all departments of the government, and that fat government jobs so far occupied by Englishmen will be ojiened to them. Towards all such concessions the attitude of Arabs seems to be: "Good as far as it goes, but we want more. We want to see the Jews out of Palestine." That dissatisfaction with the present political situation is widespread is evident. Both Zionists and Arabs are complaining bitterly in their respective press that what they call % the "double faced policy"' adopted by the administration has put the greatest obstacles in the way of the country's development. Hearts, a Zionist daily, is openly de| mantling the recall of Mr. Storrs, governor of the Jerusalem district, for his pro-Arabism, while Falastin, an Arab daily, declares that the British government's "pro-Zionism policy" is allowing 500,000 people to be sacrificed on the altar of Jewish capitalism."
