    ‘Value of Kindergarten
" Shown in After Years
. Education is a lifelong process.
The better the beginning, the better
the Ilise. Blmer Ellsworth Brown,
‘chancellor _emeritus‘ of Ne}v York
_university, once' said: “From the
- ‘kindergarten to manhood is so long
a.span that it is hard for many peo
',flle‘ to realize the full significance of
~ kindergarten training for the adult
‘life of our people. But there are cer
tain ways—not altogether obvious
though long recognized by the
friends -of the 'kindergarten—in
which this foster-parent of our
child-citizenship is vitally related to
‘our citizen-life in its entirety.” And
Prof. W. H. Lancelot of Towa State
college writes: “Our great mistake
in the past has been to throw away
in many cases the years in which
the life and character of the child
. are most easily shaped. We now
know that habit formation is at its
height in the pre-school years and
that this is one of the most eritical
. stages of child life.”
The child who goes to a good Kin
dergarten usually enjoys his later
gchool days, and whatever his adult
occupation may be he still continues
{nterested in the world about him
and in the accomplishments of his
- fellow men, just as long as he lives,

~ SYNOPSIS
Theodore Gatlin adopts a baby, which
he names ‘‘Penelope,”'in a final effort
to solve his matrimonial troubles. But
his wife has never wanted her, and
their affairs end in the divorce court.
Ten-year-old Penelope is given into the
keeping of Mrs. Gatlin. At a baseball
game a ball strikes Penelope on the
nose. Mrs. Gatlin spirits the child to
Europe. Gatlin retires from business,
wills Penelope all his money, and is
about to begin a search for his daugh
tsr when a motor accident ends his life.
Aome ten years later, in San Francisco,
Atephen Burt, rising young psychi
itrist, is presented by Dan McNamara,
chief of police, with a new patient—
Nance Belden, a girl with a dual per
sonality, for which her ‘‘saddle nose”
is in part responsible. McNamara does
not think she is a criminal and obtains
Burt's testimony in court. Lanny, the
doctor’s office nurse, is also won over.
Nance's criminal record outweighs Doc
tor Burt’s explanation of her case and
she is sent to San Quentin penitentiary.
Lanny visits her and Nance persuades
her to smuggle out a letter which a
confederate of Nance steals.
. CHAPTER IV—Continued
g
For a moment she considered tele
phoning Dan McNamara, then decided
the worthy fellow might prove an em
barrassment. So she got a pistol from
‘her bureau drawer—because she was
a practical soul and dwelt alone. She
had purchased the pistol as a precau:
tion—and went to the door. She cocked
the pistol, took a long breath, threw
open the door suddenly and raised her
weapon,
“Put ’em up,” she commanded
harshly.
“Don’t be silly, Lanny dear,” a soft
voice entreated her wearily. “It's
only me.”
“Naney Belden—you little devil,”
Lanny almost shouted. *Come in here
this instant.”
Nance Belden reeled in and Lanny
closed the door behind her, turned
the bolt, switched on the hall light—
and screamed.
“Pipe down,” Nance commanded, in
that queer, faint, weary voice. ‘l'm
not a corpse, but I'll tell the world 1
came mighty close to being one just
before lock-up time this afternoon.
Lanny, dear, I crashed the gate.”
“Well, you'll crash out of here in
a split second, you little hellion,” Lanny
cried sharply. “Wet as a dishrag and
your hair like a witch's, and covered
with blood. Where are you hurt?”
“Bullet through my left arm, high
up near the shoulder. That guard
could shoot, and he did! If my boy
friend hadn’t shot back at him and
made him hunt his hole I'd be fishbait
this minute.”
~ “You've got to get out of here,
Nance,” Lanny was terrified. “How
many visitors have you had since
you've been in San Quentin?”
~ “Just you, Lanny.”
~ *“The authorities will look me up and
they’ll come here. Understand? They’ll
‘come here—there, they're on the tele
phone now. Oh, my good lord, what
have I done to deserve this?’
She dashed into her kitchen and
took down the telephone receiveér. And
again a masculine voice said:
| “Miss Rebecca Lanning?”’
Lanny controlled herself. “Yes,” she
said calmly. “Who’s speaking?”
“Dan McNamara.”
“Oh, hello, Dan. How are you?”
“Fine, Lanny. How’s yourself?”’
“Well, I might be dead for all the
interest you've taken in me since you
swallowed that good highball you
grafted off me the day you came to
Doctor Burt’s office with that Nance
Belden girl.” She added archly—*you
egg !n
Dan MecNamara laughed. *“Can I
come out now?”
“The very idea. Os course not. It’s
almost ten o’clock and I'm just about
-to retire!”
“This is business, Lanny. I've got to
see you at once.”
‘ “I didn’t know the police were after
me.”
i “The police aren’t, but the chief is.
'Lanny, that Nance Belden escaped
from San Quentin late this afternoon.
'She got to San Francisco all right. We
know that because we found the speed
‘boat she crossed the bay in tied up in
‘the yacht harbor at the Marina. There
was blood all over the cockpit and bul
let holes in the hull.”
“All of which proves, Dan, that God’s
in his heaven and all’s well with the
world. Are you seriously trying to re
cover the girl and send her back to the
penitentiary ?”
“I'm not. I'd give two of my big
buck teeth to see her make a clean get
away. You know that. But the war
den—naturaily. It seems you visited
Nance two weeks'ago and smuggled a
letter out for her and mailed it.
“Dan; I give you my word of honor
I neither mailed a letter for her nor
passed it to somebody else to mail
Nor did the girl discuss with me any
plans for escape. If she had I would
have told the warden, in order to pre
vent her escape. It wouldn't have been
kind not to do so. The girl is mentally
irresponsible and it would have oc
curred to me that, in any mad attempt
to escape, a guard might shoot at her.”
“Well a guard did, and he hit her,
too. But he didn’t stop her. Her out
side gang opened on him with a Tom
my gun from a speedboat off the point, |
and made him hunt his hole, Nt*nce
swam out to the boat under cover of
their protective fire; they hauled her
in and beat it forty-five miles an hour
across San Pablo bay and headed up
toward Carquinez straits, while day
light lasted. After dark they doused
their lights and sneaked back. The
warden telephoned Central office here
and gave the alarm. I wasn’t on hand,
but of course the captain on duty had
the water front covered at once. He
nad two men at the St. Francis Yacht
club and they saw a speed-hoat sneak
in and across the little harbor to a
vacant berth on the Marina side. . Be
fore the cops could hurry across, the
people in the boat jumped out and to
a waiting car. The cops followed in a
police car as soon as they could, but
one of Nance's friends riddled their
front tires with machine-gun bullets
and the trail was lost.” /
“How exciting, Dan!”
“Yes, and it will be more exciting
for you, Lanny. I got home about two
minutes ago and my phone was ring
ing. It was central office trying to re
port to me. Theyre just starting a
couple of dicks out in a cruiser to
watch and see if Nance tries to make
your house. You're a trained nurse.
The warden’s found out that much—
matter of looking you up in the San
Francisco directory. So he thinks that
she'll head for your house to receive
medical attention. She got hit, you
know. And you must be a friend of
hers—otherwise why did you call upon
her?”
“Dan,” said Lanny desperately, “she’s
here now!” |
“Into your car with her, Lanny, and
beat it out to my house with her.”
He gave her the address. ‘That's the
last place on earth the devil himself
would hunt for an escaped convict.”
“I’'ve just heard a thump and a
crash in my living room, Dan. I think
she’s fainted. Telephone Doctor Burt

Dan McNamara Reached Into the Car, Lifted Nance Belden Out, Ran Up the
Stairs and On to a Rear Bedroom. Lanny Jerked a Smail Rug Off the Floor
and Threw It on the Bed.
hand yourself to let me in. I can’t
leave here until I've mopped up any
bloodstains she may have left on the
sidewalk and my front steps. Good-by.”
Lanny was right. Nance Belden lay
on the floor of the living room in a
faint. - She picked the girl up in her
strong arms and carried her down a
short flight of stairs that led from her
kitchen to the garage below. She
heaved her into the car, ran back up
stairs, got a wet mop, and by the light
of the electric lamp over the front en
trance searched for drops of blood.
She found a few and followed them to
the sidewalk, eradicating them with
vigorous sweeps of the mop, then
dashed back into the house, jammed
on her hat and coat, ran outside again,
threw open the garage door and backed
her car out. She paused again, to
shut it, then swung up the street as the
half-red lamps of a police cruising car
turned the corner. She swung wide
to give it a clear berth, turned the first
corner and spurted. She followed a
zig-zag course until she felt sure she
had thrown the police car off her trail
—provided they had become suspicious
and started to follow her; she turned
up a residence street that she felt
reasonably certain - would not be
patrolled by traffic officers at that hour
of the night, and speeded up.
Dan McNamara was standing on the
sidewalk in front of his house when
she drew up.. He reached into her car.
lifted Nance Belden out and ran with
her down an alley alongside the house
to the basement entrance, which he
kicked open. Lanny followed. Up the
stairs to the kitchen the big chief ran,
through the kitchen and on to a rear
bedroom. Lanny jerked a small rug
off the floor and threw it on the bed.
“Let her bleed on that for a while,”
she commanded. “No sense in messing
this nice clean bed all up. There must
be blood in my car, Dan. Take a wet
towel and go out and clean it thorough
ly, please, while I'm undressing this
poor lamb. Get me one of your wife's
clean nightgowns.”
“Ain’t got no wife, Lanny. Use
one of mine.”
. “Just as good as any. - Get it. Whe
takes care of you here?”
“My mother.” , '
“Can she be trusted?”
“I've sent ‘her to the country for a
month,” he evaded. “I'm sleeping here
and eating downtown,
“God bless our home, Dan. .Clear
out—and watch for Stevie and letl
him in.” g i
She ran to the kitchen, turned on |
the hot water and set an enameled
skillet under the faucet; then re
turned, undressed the girl. In an ad- |
joining bathroom she found clean
towels and placed a cold one on her
head. When she returned to the
kitchen, the enameled skillet was sit
ting in the midst of a cloud of steam,
s 0 she knew it had been thoroughly dis
infected ; she filled it with warm wa
ter, carried it into the room and with
a wet towel mopped the two holes in
Nance’s arm and examined the wound.
“Missed the bone,” she decided.
“Bled like a stuck pig, of course, piece |
of her dress probably carried into the j
wound.” l
In the medicine closet, Lanny dis-'
covered a small bottle of iodine. Soi
she doused the wound with it, wrapped |
a cold towel around the girl’s shoulder i
and tucked her into bed.
In the living room she found a brass '
box with cigarettes in it, so she lit one
and sat down beside Nance, with her
capable fingers on the girl’s pulse. Evi
dently the count was satisfactory, for
Lanny scowled at the girl and growled:
“You little devil! And ‘I crashed the
gate,’ says she proudly. Well, if ycu
aren't the little hell-bender! You've
got the nerve of a lion-tamer!”
She found a comb and brush in Dan |
McNamara's bureau and combed and l
smoothed the dank, straggly black bob®
and when that was done sihe unbent
long enough to implant a kiss on the
white brow. ‘“Poor lamb!” she mur
mured. “Nobody’s poor lost darling!”
The girl’'s eyelids flickered.
“Is that you, Lanny?” the girl mur
mured faintly. !
“Yes, dearie. And you're all right, |
so don’t worry. Nobody's going to take
you back to San Quentin,” |
“The cops chased us at the hoat land
ing, Lanny. Are you sure we shook
them off?”
“Os course you did—the big boobs!
Now, listen, dearie. I'm going to tell
you something, but don’t let it disturb
you. Take my,word for it you're safe.
Do you remember Dan McNamara, the
chief of police?” .
“Os course. Old Daniel's my boy
friend.”
“Well, you're in his bed. The cops
were on your trail, dearie. They sus
pected you might come to my house, so
Dan tipped me off they were coming
and to beat it with you out to his
house.”
Terror shone in the girl’s dark eyes.
“I'd never trust a cop that far,” she
wailed. “Oh, Lanny, you've let him
make a sucker out of you.” She began
to weep hysterically.
“If you don't stop that,” Lanny prom
ised, “I'll bat you over the head with
this skillet,” and she picked that home
ly utensil up and shook it at Nance.
“Dan McNamara's your friend.”
“Yes, and chief of police, too. Lanny,
['ll die if'they take me back. They'll
put me in the dungeon—l'm afraid of
the dark.”
“Shut-up. You're not afraid of any
thing. You've got your little red badge
of courage, you scaramouche! You
afraid? My foot! Didn't you crash the
gate and swim for that speedboat un
der fire?” >
*“Machine-gun fire, at that,” Dan Me¢
Namara supplemented, from the door
way. “They opened on her and the
boat from the towers.” He came to the
side of the bed and grinned down at
the terrified girl. *“Don’'t you worry,
Nance. You're safe. I'm a cop, but
I'm not without some sporting blood—
your getaway earns three rousing
cheers from old Dan McNamara."” His
big hand strayed over her face.
“You're a good old hunk of cheese,”
she assured him.
She turned her head toward Lanny.
“Am I going to die, Lanny?"” she asked.
“Not unless I kill you—which I'm
llable to do if you don’t buck up and
believe what I tell you. You've beeun
shot but it doesn’t amount to much.
You'll be all right in a week or two.”
“Then I'll be good, Lanny.” The
tired eyes closed and while Lanny
stood by, wondering what to say next,
Nance sank into a sleep of profound
exhaustion.
“Let her alone until Stevie comes,”.
Lanny suggested. “The wound has
stopped bleeding. Come out into the
living room and if you're as crooked a
cop as you ought to be you've got
liquor in the house and I've got to have
a drink of it.” Her middle-aged face
was very serious.

¥ awe. o3| are the statistics
e4 || for Illinois, and
e they hold true for |
i | the country gen- ]
| erally. |
L This does not
mean that no atten- l
tion need be paid to 1
the physical condition of the hearts of |
tpis group—the emotional flutteringsi
of the heart common to this period are
of course beyond the scope of this ar
ticle. But physically this decade is
the most important in the life history
of the heart. It is so very easy to do
damage to this organ in the adolescent
years—damage that is not particularly
felt then, but that will later manifest
itself as serious heart disease.
If a boy or girl can go through the
adolescent years without impairing the
health of the cardiac region through
either infections or overstraining, then
he or she has a very good chance of
not becoming a “heart case” later on.
The adolescent years are the heart's
| growth period. It begins growing
i when a child is twelve or thirteen years
old; in some children it starts growing
t even earlier. By the time the boy or
girl is twenty, the size of the heart has
increased two and one-half times.
At the same time that the heart is
growing, the bones and muscles are
also growing. In quite a few young
l people, the growth is so rapid between
the ages of twelve and fifteen that the
body seems out of proportion—it looks
gangling, and the youth is awkward
| and clumsy ; he has poor posture and a
lslovenly gait. His or her body fea
‘ tures are taking on the distinctive pat
| tern they will carry through life.
‘ Inside the body just as important
ich;mges and growths are going on.
| The sex glands are developing, and
i the heart, liver, kidneys and other or
| gans are assuming their different pat
lterns. If we could leok through the
| skin, we would see that the insides of
i bodies differ from each other just as
E much as the outsides do. The pattern
of one person’s heart or kidneys is as
| certain to show weakness in early life
| as the pattern of another person’s eyes
| is certain to require glasses at an early
] age. The shape of the heart in a child
{ will follow the family pattern as often
| as the shape of his nose will.
| But whether the pattern of the heart
f is weak or strong, there is an in
creased burden on it during the grow
ing period, as great, if not greater,
than there is in adult life, for, remem
ber, the body attains its growth at
about sixteen years, while the heart
does not attain its growth until four
vears later. Sports and physical activ
| ity are very good for the normally
healthy young person, but too stren
uous exercise can develop what s
known as “athlete’s heart.” This is
not so serious in itself, if the person
learns how to live with it in his later
years. But parents should insist that
the grueling ~physical training that
often accompanies participation in
competitive sports, such as foutball,
track and rowing, should be done only
under the supervision of competent
coaches.
l The injury done the heart by inrec
tious diseases is tar more frequent
than the injury done by over-exertion.
The heart beats normally 72 times
a minute. After each beat it has &
moment of rest when Nature intends
that it shall recuperate from its pre
ceding moment of work. So when a
rise in temperature makes it beat 90 to
100 or 120 times a minute, then neces
sarily the rest periods are shortened.
This is why everything be done to rest
the heart while the disease is In prog
ress, and also why it is important that
the patient should remain quiet for
several days after recovering from a
disease. Every one has heard of chil
dren who have come back to school
after & week's absence due to some
feverish illnéss, and who, though ap
parently well, have died suddenly after
participating in some athletic exercise.
These fatalities result because the
heart has not yet had sufficient rest to
endure the extra strain.
In the states in the Great Lakes
basin, it is common to encounter goiter
in adolescent gitls. These girls are
usually very intelligent, making high
grades, and they are usually thin and
pervous. They have rapid pulses.
Parents and teachers should see to it
that girls with adolescent goiter should
not exercise too strenuously. They
should be out in the open air, but they
should not engage in hard play.
Nature meant that all young animals
should be active and frolicsome as they
pass through the period from childhood
to physical maturity. When young
people are healthy and do not overtax
themselves in competitive sports dur
ing too long a space of time, they come
out of the adolescent period with
strong hearts.
But guard against exercising too
soon after recovering from an infec
tious disease, or any condition that
causes a rapid pulse. The heart may
receive permanent injury.
