'-.'Says Mrs. Bergen in a publication of the American Folk Lore society: .rj5oys believe that they can 'prevent .the stitch in the side which is liable to be induced by running by means of holding a pebble under the tongue. 'I believe I could run all day and not get tired if I cpuld hold a- pebble under my tongue,' said one." Says Dr. Kunz, in his "Magic ,of Jewels and Charms:" "Pebble tinania, or lithomania, is an inherent trait in all mankind. From the most r primitive man to the most modern, , "'this trait is present in a greater or : lesser degree." Not only is man -inherently inclined to collect pebbles, but among primitive men there was s a tendency to ascribe to pebbles of any peculiar markings, or- found under any peculiar circumstances, magic powers. " . The boy's belief in the sustaining virtues of a pebble held under the tongue is evidently an atavistic idea which " has its counterpart- tody among peoples living in a primitive state. The Australian aborigines be lieve that their jnedicine-men owe their powers to the fact that they have embedded in their bodies small crystal pebbles, and that by trans emitting; these stones from their own I bodies to the bodies of others they Sean transfer therewith a part of their Ipowers.

Mr. Smith, he never told me his plans, just ordered me to keep things readv for him here." "I know," I said. "Now, if you will promise not to talk to your wife in any language hut English I will let you see her. She is very anxious about you." "1 promise," he replied, and I took him into the kitchen and wait ed until the woman had assured her self of his safety..
