an absolutely honest spirit in the

have been best in numberless cases.
Good companies entered into the plan
because of the following facts: Rec

horribly tangled, adjustments in the
regular order would be enormous, and
the demands of the claimants were
urgent,

Compromise Desired.

At n meeting Of the business inter-
ests and the insurance managers, 1t
was agreed after exhaustive discussion
that some fair compromise figure was
the only possible remedy if immediate
relief was to be granted by the insur-
ance companies. Considerable time,
inevitably, would be required before
the adjustments could begin, and
when the work was taken up, with
all the adjusters that could be Sc
cured on the ground, months would
have to elapse before material pay
ments could begin.
"Consider the real motive and effect
of the compromise proposition. Sew
enty-five per cent was taken on esti-
mate for compromise, but the insured
was left the option of awaiting aG-
just ment. Insurance and business
men knew in many cases the real loss
to be paid after adjustment would be
far less than rs per cent of the polio
face, and in others more nearly 100
per cent. But 1t was confidently be-
lieved, considering the earthquake con-
tingencies and usual salvage, that a
fixed figure of 75 per cent of all poll
cies would make the companies. pay

money in settlements, than If the ad-
justment took the regular course.

while others would lose. If the busi-

If it were possible wholly to de-
stroy single parasitical pest having
the Latin name Boophilus annalatus
the saving to the cattle industry of
the United States in a single year
would exceed the enormous sum of
1926, 900, according to the Kansas
City Star. This estimate was made by
the United States department of agri-
culture. Primarily, this loss is due to
splenetic or Texas cattle fever, but
the only means of transmitting this
fever virus is the tick known as the
Boophilus annulatus, and If this tick
were destroyed there would be in
time no Texas cattle fever. This is
the opinion of veterinary science,
sustained by years of careful and ac-
curate experiment.

Native Cattle Immune.

Cattle native to fever infected re-
gion become immune to splenotic
fever, but the parasite remains in
their blood for a period of years. The
female tick falls from the COW and
lays its eggs on the ground. Through
the blood drawn from the COW by
their mother the young ticks contain
these parasites. These young ticks
fasten themselves upon passing cat
tie to propagate another, progeny. and
should the new host never have been
exposed to fever inoculation it will
receive infection from the young
ticks. Adult cattle are most suscep-
tible, and the mortality ranges from
80 per cent in July and August to
less than so per cent in late autumn
and winter.

Cold Weather Kills 1t.

Texas fever is never found perma-
nently above a certain latitude and al
titude. This same restriction applies
to the fever tick, which cannot sur
vive the low temperatures of a north
ern winter, or the dry, thin atmos-
phere of certain elevation.
Splenetic fever is due to blood
corpuscle parasite. If the blood of
an animal containing this parasite
We're not injected into the blood of
others there would be no spread of
this contagion. The Boophilus annul-
atus is the only natural vehicle for
its transmission. Both the male and
the female tick subsist on q common
host, its blood being their nutrition.

CHAPTER Nj.

Though many years have passed
away since the events OF this story
were enacted, | feel thrill OF horror
as l look over the memoranda before
me, collected from Valdermere, from
notes left by Deneau. and from the
strange tales of old Uga, the Indian.
To all OF these sources am | indebted
for the facts concerning the career of
Deneau, and especially the adventures
which marked his connection with
The Invisible Hand which to my
mind presents one of the most inter-
e stiIE cases in the history of crime.
the t.reless energy, the patient vigi-
lance, the daring genius, and the phe-
nomenal cunning of Deneau. in com
batting with his powerful and secret
foe, his analysis of the most intricate
problems, his bold deductions and dar-
iIy manoeuyres, had surely won, had
ais object been within reach OF human
methods. His clues were a narvo. OF
exactness.

wards.
The Chief followed the young man
TO an obscure quarter OF the city. and
found the murderer bound to the floor
OF small room in the third story OF
a diiapidated building. The prisoner
confessed his guilt in the presence Of
the officer, and Deneau received his
reward.
Soon after this, a desperate villain.
named La Hardy came upon the scene
whose crimes were as varied as they
were atrocious, and who had for many
years perpetrated his deeds with i'm
punity. He was called by his asso-
ciatss THE lnvulnerable." ON account
of his hair-breadth escapes. He had
broken all laws. under the very noses
Of the gerdarmes and made good his
escape.
La Hardy had for years been the
leader of a gang of robbers and as
assins, at whose door suspicion had
placed score or more of the most
horrible murders that had ever shock
ed the French capital, or inspired the
police with renewed vigilance: but,
siugularly enough. though every one
interested in the matter was convinced
Of La Hardys guilt they could Lot
produce sufficient evidence in a single
case to convict him.
During Deneau's progress in the in
vestigation OF this case two men had
died upon the euiliotine, declaring
their innocence of the crime with
which they were charged. He was
among the spectators at the double
execution. and knew that these poor
unfortunates were suffering death for
crime which La Hardy had COM
mitted. and yet he did not raise his
voice to save them. In withholding
this information, Deneau became the
murderer of these two innocent men.
But he had no conjunction, and felt
no remorse. He knew that by saving
their lives he would run the risk Of
La Hardy's escape, and SO he suffered
them TO die.
Deneau was but detective and he
disdained the idea of losing the re-
wards, individual and governmental.
which were offered for the head OF La
Hardy.
When pursuing his investigation he
worked alone bridIed his tongue
when in the presence of others, and
never made a decisive movement un-
til he was sure of mis- prize.
The web OF evidence was now sure

ly winding around La Hardy. His
crimes became less bold, and for
time nothing was seen or heard OF
him, until at last, his case was
dropped by other investigators, who
declared that re had quilted the coun.
try.
Suddenly. on certain day about
a. m, just two months after the execu-
tion of the two innocent men. Deneau
captured the assassin in the very act
of numbering wealthy Englishman.
who was at that time sojourning in
Paris. and who had been enticed into
the den of assassins. After placing La
Hardy in safe-keeping. Deneau had
summoned his deputies. who were in
waiting, and entering sewer trap in
the heart of the city they made an un-
derground passage. and at last came
upon the associates OF La Hardy,
where they had fed for refuge when
their leader Was taken.
No one ever knew how Deneau had
effected this brilliant piece of work
and even his deputies knew none of
the details until they were face to face
with the assassfns.
Deneau would never tell his plans,
even to his associates, who were mere
artomatons. They were, however, un-
der such perfect control that they nev-
| er varied in the least from their lead
| ers instructions. and. for that reason,
| they seldom failed to bag their game

of locating them. In a fortnight, this
