the worth of his money.

l gave the promise, and saw him step
out into the night, without concerning
myself greatly as to the probable out

for vehicle. Although he had never
profited by my patronage, he knew me

returned to the office, he carried small

tanned all the effects he cared to take
with him. The carriage was at the
door, the driver grumbling to himself
at the long ride which lay before him.
Once in the vehicle, Lamar settled him
self comfortably in his corner and
lighted a cigar. The satchel was on
the seat beside him. I observed tha.
his hand never left it. Neither of us
spoke often in the course of the drive.
There We're questions burned to ask,
but it was altogether likely that they
would not be answered. AS his EN-

road was good, and the motion of the
vehicle easy, felt no drowsine. my

abundant food for reflection. Oul

cision the admiral said: 1.-THE peculiar
points of this letter, which, in my opin-
ion, is the best and most characteristic
of girl, are that it is novel and unlike
most of the letters; that it is SO clear
and businesslike as to leave no room
for misunderstanding the desires of the

Quarantine Against Consumptives.
There is q movement on foot to exc
olude consumptives from California
and other western states. The state
board Of health of California is con-
sidering the proprlety of quarantine
ing the state against human beings
and domestic animals having tubercu-
losis. This action has opened to wide
discussion the question Of the right Of
a state to bottle up for its own citi-
zens its air and sunshine. Colorado il
thought to be planning quarantine.
and 1t is believed that the movement
will develop an interstate system OF
laws in the west prohibiting con-
sumptives from entering or leaving
the confines of the state. AT the same
time physicians say that the practice
of recommending climatic changes for
consumptives is not so prevalent as 1t
was some years ago, and that for this
reason, in view of modern theories Of
the disease, the western states have
little to fear from the utmost generos.
