CHAPTER vi.


No one can imagine how dreadful
ly l felt at the turn that matters
had taken. If this girl was really
the little Amaranthe of my young
ladyhood, and | could not doubt that
she was, it seemed terrible thing
to have found her associated with
strange men who could come into
her windows at night. But, after all,
was | certain that any strange man
had come into the window at night?
l thought of asking Mr.. Beldon to
help me, and set him as a. watch upon
her. The fact of the existence of
that plug which Elder Wynne had
cut in some way out of the floor
of my upper back did not escape my
mind. That, of course, was to keep
a watch upon Mr.. Beldon, but l
thought that Elder Wynne, or Bob
Jennings, rather, had overreached
himself.
l made up my mind that when /
went downstairs in the morning l
would speak very plainly to my
boarder. ! waited until nine o'clock,

hole which his action had laid bare,
and then replaced the carpet.
That's the woman of it, he said.
"Iou must never surprise them.
Now, go on, but please lower your
voice a little.''
'Marmaduke," said I, speaking very
fast, you think that this old man is
your friend"
81 know he isl said President
Smith.
'You think that he comes from a
western university, that he is min
lister of the gospel, that he is here
about his book on the Lost Tribes,
that he is going to Washington to
obtain a pension, that he is a weak
old man. who-''
"Who said that believed all this? 2"
asked President Smith, calmly
"Well, everything shows that you
do. Your coming out to see him so
often, your walking with him in the
garden, sitting with him in the grape
arbor, talking about the Lost
Tribes
s'Who said that we talked about
the Lost Tribes in the arbor and the
garden?"
well, you talk of them on the
piazza till they have driven me wild.
Whatever it is that you talk about,
this man is deceiving you. l was re-
assured last evening when 1 saw the
insignia of his Office, but he may
have stolen that badge, and 1 have
come to the conclusion that he is
playing a double part"
81 am conspiring to save you,
Sophronia, to save you from your
self and your trusting nature. Poor
Sophronia, you do indeed need man
to take care of you. Until you find
one, | confide you to the care of my
good friend, Bob Jennings, the crack
sleuth-hound of the detective force.'
L turned pale. l could not see my
self, but l felt pallor creeping over
my features. l sat down, trembling.
Don't cry, Sophronia! Don't
faint! It's all right. There is a con-
spiarcy, right here in your own
house, and we are trying to save you
from it, Jennings and I. We don't
know just what it means, as yet,
butt
But your untruths, Marmaduke
Smith. How do you excuse those?"
"The end justifies the MEANS" said
he. THE end certainly justifies the
means
"How could you know what was
happening out here? You never
come near me-"
81 should like to come, Sophronia,
should like to come. 1 thought of
you at once when Jennings said that
he wanted boarding place near the
village, and then, strange to say,
discovered that this was the very
house where he wished to take up
his abode. He told me the story, as
far as he knows it, and l volunteered
to help him. Now, let me give you
one word of caution. You have
stumbled upon this matter long be-
fore we intended that you should
know anything about it. Now, the
only thing for you to do is to act as if
you knew nothing about it. Treat
these people exactly as you have all
along, and"
ooh, how can l listen to the Lost
Tribes any longer?" said l, almost
crying. Truth to tell, my nerves
were shaken by all that had come
and gone.
II will promise, dear Mrs. Brath-
waite, to change the subject now"
he said, and l went to my room and
locked my door, sitting listless, far
into the morning.

Each States Exclusive Jurisdiction.

Each state has exclusive Jurisdiction over
commerce in foods and drugs within its
borders. The proposed legislation cannot
reconcile differences between state laws
and, therefore it's enactment will not ma
for complying with the requirements of
each state within which they do business.
THE enactment of the pending legislation
will merely establish in each state stand
ards for Interstate commerce distinct from
standards for commerce wholly within the
state, and which may or may not be iden-
teal with such standards. This in fact is
the extent of the power Of the federal gov:
eminent SO far as relates to the sale of
foods and drugs in the state.
IF the interstate standard for any article
is more rigid that the states requirements.
the dealer within a state cannot lawfully
purchase such articles in another jurisdic-
ton, except it be Of a higher grade than
the state requires however adva ntageous
it might be for him to do so. Nor can a
person or corporation in another jurisdic-
ton lawfully sell it to him unless 1t be OF
such higher grade.
THE proposed federal law, if enacted, will
be channel through which state laws may
be evaded.
THE sale Of substance although forbid
den by state laws, may, if the proposed
legislation be enacted be made under the
very protection Of the federal government,
provided only that the substance be packed
and shipped from another Jurisdiction SO as
to be sold by the consignee in original, I'M
broken packages: although II produced in
the state it may not lawfully be sold under
any condition. A producer doing business
within the state will be thus subjected to
unfair competition under the protection of
the federal law.

Legislation Objectionable.

The proposed legislation is Objectionable
in that in the prosecution of what may be
quite Insignificant offenses it will necessi-
tate the more or less prolonged absence OF
the defendant, and Of the witnesses for the
prosecution and for the defense, from their
homes and businesses while in attendance
on federal courts located at more or less
remote points.
Some of the proposed bills are ob1ec-
tionable in that they delegate to an en-
tirey unofficial and non-representatlve as
ISOLATION the right to select the official en-
powered by law with the choice Of the
referee in cases of disputed analysis
The reasons stated have always seemed
to the health department to be sufncient
to prevent it from advocating the enact
ment of any Of the so-called pure food bills
which have been submitted to congress.
The department would gladly have ADVISED
the amendment Of these measures In such
way as to insure purity of foods and drugs
as sold throughout the United States. COM
bined with uniformity of trade conditions
had it not believed that effective legisla-
ton to that end would be Impossible unless

eminent by constitutional amendment SO

meates every part of the United States

forcement Of the proposed law on anything

The proposed transfer to the Departme..
