Searlet fever is perhaps the most
treacherous of all the diseases which
affect children. •Yen never know just
what it is going to do. next. It may
be so severe from the onset as to end
fatally within a few days, or it may
be so mild that it is almost impossible
to say that it is scarlet fever at all.
Even in the mild cases of so-called
Scarletina, serious complications may
arise,
It is, therefore, imperative that all
cases of scarlet fever of whatever de-
• gree of severity be regarded as
serious. '

with and ma,gnified the enchantment.
For a moment Helen wondered if she
had slipped back into the mystic realm
of childhood ---surely such beauty
wasn't humanly possible; while Irma
stood transfixed.
• Helen was brought back to reality
by the softavoiced welcome of her
hostess. • ,

ing the slim hand of the girl, "this is

Helen's hand tightened.
Irma's manner did not tend to lessen
the alarm of the girl; she had not
taken her .eyes from the face of Tu
Hee since entering the room.
'Helen was puzzled, disconcerted, at
the change that had suddenly swept
over her friend. Irma's face was
deathly white, while her hands were
clenched tightly at her side.
Tu Hee Shrank farther away. Turn-
ing to Helen, she exclaimed piteously:
"She, too, thinks nie guilty."
• The. girl's remark aroueed Irma, and
with an effoet of the will she clutched
back her self-control. • Stepping for-
ward, she caught Tu Hee's- hand:
•"My dear, forgive me for my seem-
ing rudeness. I'm afraid you wouldn't
understand me if I tried to explain.
Indeed, I can hardly fathoxn or under-
stand myself the feeling that suddenly
rushed aver me as I looked into your
face. • You -stir memories—memories

As Irma spoke, her hand event to her
headin a dazed sort of way,
• Tu. Hee's timidity fled. The foreign-
er's perturbed manner denoted she
eras suffering, and impulsively the girl
drew forward a chair and tenderly
assisted Irma into it.
Helen looked on in amazement.
What in the world had occasioned Mrs.
Culver's strange actions? Tu Hee, to
be sure, was very lovely, but the sight
of beauty does not usually upset one
like that. It must be the reaction.
Poor woman it was a wonder she had
not broken down before -this, consider-
ing all the sorrow she had passed
through. •
Irma was soon herself again, how-
ever, and heartily ashamed of the
concern she had aroused; but when-
ever she looked at the face of the
Chinese girl a inlet, a film as it were,
seemed to form, which she in vain
strove to tear away and peer beyond.
