She had tied up cut fingers and filled hot water bag* and portioned out medicine to everybody else, but uever had she taken to her bed and caused these services to bo performed for her. So when she fell 111 recently the lx>ffett family was badly disorganized* as though a bomb in good working order hud dropped and exploded. With united zeal everyone turned to and took caro of Mrs. Loffett. When she w iiH too ill to mind they bad a lovely time. They pih>d on blankets and then held consultations and took blankets off; tfcey raised shades and then decided to lower them; they reg ulated what she ate and they talked in tuibducd tones and kept the light burning dimly. And when who began getting bettor they hud grown so to enjoy their unaccustomed authority that .tho Invalid could not cope with* them. "No, no, mother," Ruth Loffett would Huy, soothingly, if Mrs. Loffett attempted to throw baok one of her bed coverings, "you muBt keep that on. You'll catch cold." "Rut I'm really too warm," protest ed the invalid. "You'll feel all right presently," lluth would Bay In level tones as she tucked back the blanket about her parent. "Just llo still, mother." Loffett was exactly aB had. When she appealed to him he merely shook his head and said, "Now, mother, you j^st llo quiet and let us manago things." Rebellion slowly grew in the breast of tho Invalid. As she felt the returning health lu her Veins her eyes often snapped after she had been routed and laid low by some solicitous member of the family. The idea that Ruth, who was scarcely past the age when she had been Bpanked and ptit to bed supperless, was actually bossing her roused Mrs. Loffett's grim ire. Likewise that Henry, who only a short time ago had been refused more Jam, should be regulating 'what she ate and depriving her of what, she Wanted bewildered and irritated her Th^ day Mrs. Loffett said she want ed to get up the entii'o family proceed ed to shriek in horror. "No, mother," said Loffett, anxious ly, "you stay in bed and ? get a good rest while you have the chance." "I should say so!" added Ruth Lof fett. "And lot me wait 011 you. I an^ so glad to do it. Don't throw that cover back, mother!" . _ "And if you ,get up," put in Henry, Jr., "you'll bo eating all sorts of things that you shouldn't. You wanted grid dle cakes this morning, remember! Griddle cakes, mother!" Hpnry spoke in tones ot horror. Then Ruth lowered the shades live inches and Henry absent-mindedly raised them 15 inches, while Loffett abstracted the salt cellar on her table and removed one slico of toast from her tray. "You must not overeat,!' he reminded her. "Now, just lie quiet, mother," they said in chorus as they left her. Alone, Mrs. Loffett breathed hard and glared at tho ceiling. "Haven't 4 got sense enough to know when I'm ell?" she demanded of herself,! finally. Then she smiled grimly to herself.- x "I'll be all right with this maga zine," Bhe told Ruth when that young person had brought up a scanty lunch eon. x "You run along to that card party this afternoon. I shan't need a thing." "I'll tell Mary," said Ruth, dubious ly, "to keep an eye on you. I don't like leaving you at all, mother. You'll be sure to do something foolish." "Oh, no!" promised Mrs. Loffett, while she clutched the bed clothes In order to restrain herself. When Mary appeared, according to promise, to cast her eye upon the in valid she found Mrs. Loffett up and dressed. ? ?? - "How dp you do, Mary?" said the in valid, casually. "I wish you would go back downstairs and bake me a lot of griddle cakes at once. And bring plenty of butter and Birup. And I'll have coffee, too, and you might aa well fry an egg or so while you are about it. I'm hungry." ~.j The family, walking in upon Mrs. Loffett just as she finished her repast, fell against the wall and then stag gered toward the telephone. "You needn't call tho doctor," or-i dered Mrs. Loffett. "I just phoned him that I was well and he needn't come around. I'm tired of this fool ishness. Ruth, you'd better change that drees at once. Henry, have you fixed tine furnace? And, father, what on earth are you wearing that disrepu table tie for?" ? 1 ? Then the family felt itself slide back into its several places with a Jolt* a . 4 . . --- Mexican Mines Becoming Wells. Practically all of the mines of Par ral are now closed except the Alvara do.
