"A very bad wound. sir; but not nee
essarily fatal; he has regained con-
seriousness"
HAS Miss ellis arrived?"
81 don't know, sir; there's a young
woman cryin' in the parlor"
The lieutenant leaped up the steps
and entered the house. But is was
Miss Spencer, not Nadia, who sprang
to her feet.
"Oh, Lieut.. Brant; can it be truly
you! How perfectly awful you looki
DO you know if Mr. Hampton is really
going to die? I came here just to
find out about him, and tell Nadia.
She is almost frantic, poor thing"
Though Brant doubted Miss Spen-
GERS honesty Of statement, his reply
was direct and unhesitating. Il am
informed that he has a good chance
to live, and l have already dispatched
word to Miss ellis regarding his con-
dition. 1 expect her at any moment"

how you ever dared do It. l did wish
that either Mr.. Moffat or Mr. Mcneil
could have been here to go with you.
Before Brant could reply his attentive
ear caught the sound of a light foot

Her eyes seemed now for the first
time to mark his own deplorable con-

hurt, Lieut. Brant?"
He smiled back into her anxious
eyes. Nothing that soap and water
and few days retirement will not
wholly remedy. My wounds are en-
tirely upon the surface. Shall con-

She bowed, apparently forgetful
that one of her hands yet remained

They passed up the staircase side

Once she glanced furtively at his face,
but its very ealmnesS kept the words
upon her lips unuttered. At the door
they encountered Mrs. Guffy, her hon

NO DISEASE ON MONEY.

New York Tribune.
DR., A, II. Doty, health officer OF
this port. who for years has made a
study of infectious disease. and espe
ciaily the medium of their transmits

who contend that money is a transmit

DIR. Doty said yesterday that. while
ARCHAEOLOGICAL examinations were pre.
sented to show that different forms of
bacteria Were found on money. prac.
llcal and careful observation had proy.

denies were spread in nearly all in.
stances by personal contact with in.

the handling of money and clothing.
Concerning the current agitation on
money as an agent of disease, DR.. Dotv
said:
The theory that money acts as a
medium of infection is plausible
one, particularly as 1t deals with an
agent which is being constantly trans

among all classes of people. Clothing

ETC are also regarded rs means by
