shut through on either side Of the
weakened link and prepared to close 1t

to strengthen the connection with the
other chain.
"Lemme hold her for you. You can't
close her alone" said an unexpected
voice next his elbow.
Thorpe looked up in surprise and an
ger Over him leaned Big Junko. The
men had been unable to prevent bis

followed to assist as he might.
"You fool" cried Thorpe, exasperat-
ed, then held the hammer to him.

Big Junko leaned forward to obey,
kicking strongly his calks into the
barked surface Of the boom log. The
spikes, worn blunt by the river work
already accomplished. failed to grip.
Big Junko slipped, caught himself by
an effort, overbalanced in the other di-
rection, and fell into the stream. The
current at once swept him away, but

was jammed In the crib. The dead
head was slippery. the current strong.
Big Junko had no crevice by which to
assure his hold. In another moment he
would be torn away.
"Let 60 and swim" shouted Thorpe.

low voice as to be scarcely audible.
For moment Thorpe stared at him.

Then there beneath the swirling gray
sky, under the frowning jam, In the
midst Of flsod waters. Thorpe had his
second great moment of decision. He
did not pause to weigh reasons or
chances. to discuss with himself expe-
liency or the moralities Of failure. His
actions were foreordained, mechanical.

AS though by way Of colossal answe,

Now clearly, with no shadow OF
doubt, he took the other view: There

For the first time in his life Thorpe
felt the full crushing power Of an abb

the moment all that was lesser. It was
the triumph Of what was real In the
man over that which environment,
alienation, difficulties, had raised up
within him.
At Big Junko's words Thorpe raised
his hammer and with one mighty blow
severed the chains which bound the
ends Of the booms across the opening.

EMINENT DOCTORS VIEWS.
lieye Tuberculosis Can De Com
tracted EpidemicaIly by Adults.

The Deutschen Medicinische Vochen-
schrift publishes synopsis of lecture
which Prof. Won Behring, Of Marburg,
delivered before the German natural
lists congress.
Prof. Won Behring does not believe
contracted epidemically by an adult.
He asserts, however, that a decisive
factor in the spread of tuberculosis
is the nourishing of infants with mill
taken from cows suffering from that
disease
The human infant, like the young
of all animals, lacks the digestive ap-
paratus and protective organs which
in the case of grown-up persons pre-
vents the germs from entering into the
tissue. AS a consequence he contends
that young children should be nour-
ished with milk free from the germs
of tuberculosis.
Prof Won Behring's efforts are being
directed toward the substitution of san
itariums and a system of innoculation
for consumption hospitals. He is firm
ly convinced that, like animals, human
beings can be rendered immune by
innoculation with tuberculosis toxin
obtained from cows. The professor,
however, distinctly says that his ex-
periments to obtain a perfect toxin are
not completed.
