‘Where did you say it was now—my 
locket? 
j “ I did n’t say it was anywhere.” 
“No, you said it was ‘somewhere’— 
in a rather vague sort of way, Peter.” 
“Well, perhaps I did,” said T. 
“It is not very valuable, but I prized it 
for association’s sake, Peter.” 
“Ah!—yes, to be sure,” said I, feigning 
to be wholly absorbed. 
“I was wondering if you ever—wear 
it, Peter?” 
“Wear it!” I exclaimed, and glancing 
furtively down, I was relieved to see that 
there were no signs of a betraying blue 
riband; “wear it!” said I again, “why 
should I wear it?” 
“Why, indeed, Peter, unless it was 
because it was there to wear.” Suddenly 
she uttered an exclamation of annoyance, 
and, taking up a candle, began looking 
about the floor. 
“What have you lost?” 
“My needle! I think it must have 
fallen under the table, and needles are 
precious in this wilderness; won’t you 
please help me to find it?” 
“With pleasure!” said I, getting down 
upon my hands and knees, and together 
we began to hunt for the lost needle. 
Now, in our search, it chanced that we 
drew near together, and once her hand 
THE STORY SO FAR 
W HY is Peter so happy? He con¬ 
fesses that he does not know. 
Charmian, the beautiful woman who 
has fled to his protection from an 
unknown gallant, teases him about it. 
But Peter has many things to ponder 
—his unwilling quarrel with Black 
George, whose forge he tends, several 
mysterious attacks upon his life, and 
last, but not least, 1 this mysterious 
Charmian herself, who, saying she is 
homeless and penniless, has calmly 
taken up her dwelling in the lonely 
cottage which Peter put in order for 
his own use. 
touched mine, and once her soft hair 
brushed my cheek, and there stole over 
me a perfume like the breath of violets, 
faint and sweet and alluring—so much 
so, that I drew back from further chance 
of contact, and kept my eyes directed 
to the floor. 
And, after I had sought vainly for 
some time, I raised my head and looked 
at Charmian, to find her regarding me 
with a very strange expression. 
“What is it?” I inquired. “Have you 
found the needle?” Charmian sat back 
on her heels, and laughed softly. 
“Oh, yes, I ’ve found the needle, Peter, 
that is—I never lost it.” 
“Why, then—what—what did you 
mean—?” 
For answer, she raised her hand and 
pointed. Then, glancing hurriedly down, 
I saw that the locket h&d slipped forward 
through the bosom of my shirt, and hung 
in plain view. I made an instinctive 
movement to hide it, but, hearing her 
laugh, looked at her instead. 
“So this was why you asked me to 
stoop to find your needle?” 
“Yes, Peter.” 
“Hum!” said I. A distant clock 
chimed eleven, and Charmian began to 
fold away her work, seeing which, I rose, 
and took up my candle. 
“I saw the riband round your neck 
days ago. Good-night, Peter!” 
“Oh,” said I. “Good-night!” 
CHAPTER XVII 
THE OMEN 
“My lady sweet, arise! 
My lady sweet, arise 
With everything that pretty is, 
My lady eet, arise; 
Arise, arise.” 
IT WAS morning, and Charmian was 
. singing. The pure, rich notes floated 
in at my open lattice, and I heard the 
clatter of her pail as she went to fetch 
"'ater from the brook. Wherefore I pre¬ 
sently stepped out into the sunshine, to 
carry back the heavy bucket for her, as 
was my custom. i To be continued) 
In case of severe bleeding 
or hemorrhage would you 
pour antiseptic on the 
wound ? Would you apply 
hot compresses ? cold com¬ 
presses? Would you plug 
the wound with gauze? 
Would you use a tour¬ 
niquet? 
If a person is stunned by 
a severe blow on the head 
dr by a fall, would you raise 
the head and shoulders or 
lower them? Would you 
apply cold compresses to 
the head ? a hot-water 
bottle to the feet? Would 
you use artificial respira¬ 
tion? 
What would you do for 
croup? Apply hot com¬ 
presses to the chest, or 
cold compresses to the 
throat? Would you im 
merse the child in hot 
water, or only his feet? 
Would you give syrup of 
ipecac? mustard flour in 
water ? 
Some poisons as iodine and 
carbolic acid are sometimes 
taken by mistake. Would 
you give an emetic? Would 
you use epsom salts? ordi¬ 
nary laundry starch? zinc 
sulphate ?hotco flee? Would 
you give the patient any¬ 
thing to eat? Would you 
keep him warm, or expose 
to fresh air? 
If a child should swallow 
a foreign body such as a 
safety pin, a button, 
a penny, would you give 
an emetic? a cathartic? 
a large amount of bread, 
cereal, vegetables? Would 
you slap the child on the 
back? Would you hold the 
head down? 
What would Ijou do 
in emergencies like these?

When to call 
the Doctor . 
I F YOU were suddenly seized with 
appendicitis, what would you do? 
Send for the doctor, of course. But in 
the meantime, what emergency measures 
would you apply? Or if baby went into 
convulsions, would you know how to bring 
relief? In case of colic, or croup, or chok¬ 
ing, what should be done immediately? 
Do you know the first aid measures to 
apply in the event of a dislocation, 
a broken bone, a severe cut or burn, an 
insect bite? Would you be able to do the 
right thing to revive a drowning person? 
What should not be • done for earache?! 
How would you treat an attack of pto¬ 
maine poisoning? 
These and a hundred and one other 
emergencies are constantly arising. Often¬ 
times a doctor is not immediately available 
and it is necessary to do something AT 
ONCE. It may be that life itself depends 
upon your action. 
All of us are called upon to cope with sick¬ 
ness in one form or another. It may be an 
attack of indigestion, or asthma, or lum¬ 
bago, bronchitis,, chills; but whatever it is, 
it is vitally important that you should know 
what to do and what not to do. You should 
be able to tell whether it is necessary to 
send for the doctor or whether the case can 
be handled by simple home treatment. You 
cannot afford to take chances with health! 
Let Dr. Royal S. Copeland, formerly Health Commissioner of 
New York City, keep you and your family in perfect health 
Now you can have the priceless advice of Dr. Royal 
S. Copeland instantly available to you at all times. In 
almost every conceivable emergency, or sickness, he will 
tell you exactly what to do and what not to do. For 
Dr. Copeland has written a remarkable new book that 
brings to your home the benefit of his wide knowledge 
and experience. He has written dovyn specific directions 
for dealing with every trouble ailment and disease that 
you are ever likely to encounter. It is a 1 told so simply 
and so clearly that even a child could understand, and 
the subjects are arranged alphabetically so that you can 
refer instantly to the material you need. Nothing is 
omitted; if you are interested even in such a subject as 
reducing weight, you will find here just what you want 
to know. 
Thousands owe their lives to Dr. Copeland. As 
Health Commissioner of New York City he made such 
an outstanding record that his work was recognized all 
over the world, and he was rewarded bj election to the 
United States Senate. In checking disease, notably 
during the “flu” epidemic, in saving the lives of babies, 
in raising the health standards of the entir population 
of New York City, Dr. Copeland earned the lasting 
gratitude of the pub' c. 
In response to the widespread demand, Dr. Cope¬ 
land’s hea th messages have been appearing in news¬ 
papers all over the country, reaching nearly three 
million readers. But still his services did not extend as 
far as his friends would like. There was only one way 
to solve the problem—a book—a wonderful book that 
should carry Di. Copeland’s gospel of good health and 
good cheer, plus a vast fund of priceless medical advice, 
to every home in the country. 
And now the book is here It is called Dr Copeland’s 
HEALTH BOOK, and it is like no other health book 
ever offered to the public.
