Use Proposed BY Chicago surgeon
TOR Tuning Forks.
Al very simple method Of locating
fractures in bones. particularly IN long

proposed BY i Chicago surgeon, says
Golfers Weekly
A stethoscope Is placed over the bone

be heard i'll tile stethoscope but II the
break is between the two, This sound
will be faint and irregular, as the yl-
brations VIII not be transmitted past

OF course this method depends upon
the fact that hard bone is an excellent
conductor of vibration, while tissue Is
not. Perhaps even i more valuable
application Of this idea would be IN

Jean Teterault's Secret


foriginall
Jean Teterauit was Canadian
ffenehman who by saving his pennies
had acquired considerable means. Jean
not only observed a proper economy
ie desSen.sed 10 parsimony.
One night Jean was lying awake
thinking Of some way to add 70 his
holdings His bed was SO placed that
he could look out Of a back window to-
ward a hill in the rear Of his house
He was surprised to see q light just
beneath the hilltop moving about
among a clump Of trees.
That's very strange" remarked
Jean to himself. what can any one
be doing theref
Jean suddenly formed resolution
to 60 and find out what 1t meant; So,
jumping out Of bed, he hastily donned
his clothes and. going out Of the back
door. climbed the hin. When he came
near enough he stopped and watched.
But he was too late to discern what
had occurred. A man and a woman
were just leaving the place The man
held up a lantern to remove its lamp
and blow out the light and as he did
SO Jean caught d glimpse Of his face
and that Of the woman as well. They
were Mr.. and Mrs Pierre Brazeau,
whom he knew well By sight and repu-
tation, wealthy young couple whose
country place was not far distant As
soon as the light was extlnguished
Jean could hear them moving away
through the bushes toward road. and
few moments later be heard the
closing 81 carriage door ana wheels
creaklng on the stones.
Jean went home and 10 bed, but the
next morning lie reascended the hill 70
the place where he had seen the cou-
pie, ana there, III a secluded spot in the
center Of thick bushes, he came upon a
space four feet long and two feet wide
where the earth had been dug up and
the cavity FeflIed
Jeans first impulse was to remove
the earth and see who or what was
buried there, but neighbor whose
property adjoined the place came
along and prevented.
"Have you beard Of the good fortune
Of the great people living below, the
BrazeausT asked the man.
NO What is itg'
eThe only child Of Brazeau's elder
brother, who inherited the most Of
their fathers estate. is dead, and Pl-
ere Brazeau will now be twice as rich
as formerly"
Jean made no reply to this announce
ment, but he did a great deal Of think
ing. 1t was plain to him that the little
heir had been put out Of the way By
those next Of kin and buried at the
dead OF night. when no eye except
Jean Teterault's was looking. Here
was an opportunity If properly fol
lowed up for a large accession to bis
own fortune
After much dellberation he decided
