CHAPTER XIII.
Claire Barton.

The morning after the little fare.
we'll supper which Capt. Sinclair had
given at the Imperial restaurant
Claire Barton sat in the pretty sitting
room of her bijou fiat in Russell Man
sions, Bloomsbury, and wondered how
she should pass the day.
The rehearsals for the new musical
comedy at the Pandora, which had
been In progress for some weeks,
were suspended for few days. The
manager had suddenly decided that
the second act wanted rewriting, and
that three of the songs in it were NOT
up to Pandora form.
So the author of the book, the writ
er of the lyrics, and the composer
had gone to work again after little
display of temper, and the stage man
ager had decided that it was useless
to go on rehearsing till he knew
where the fresh stuff was coming in, "
and the green board just inside the
stage door entrance was temporarily
innocent of calls"
Claire Barton was glad to have
plenty of time to lie in bed in the
morning, plenty of time to dawdle over
over late breakfast and look at the
Strand and the Era, instead of having
to rush off to the theater at the ,''un-
earthly hour of eleven.
But she was just a little anxious,
for in the new piece she was to have
a ''part"-a real part, not a line here
and there spoken from the ranks of
the chorus; and she wondered how
much of it would be chopped OUT in
the reconstruction of the new and
original play which was presently to
take the place of the year-old success.
in which she had nothing to do but
look handsome in beautiful clothes
and say Rather!" at the same time

Fishinq From Car Windows.

Passengers on Southern Pacific
overland trains are having rare sport
trolling from car windows for fish in
the Salton sea and good catches have
been made About midway on the sea
an arroyo extends back into the noun
tains. The track crosses this on a
trestle. The water is fifteen to TWEEN
ty-fve feet deep, and it has become a
custom, of the dining car porter tG
throw scraps overheard from the ia
bles there. Thousands of firsh of al
sizes lie in wait for the train and can
be easily seen.
A few days ago an irrepressible fish
erman prepared his hook and line; and
as the train slowly Numbered over the
long trestle swung it far out over the
water. This the fish mistook for their
customary meal, and voracious carp,
three feet long, seized the bait and
was drawn aboard the Pullman.

MAKING ROOM FOR RECEPTION
No Trouble at All if You Let the Van
People Attend to 1t.
Ito Be Continued. J

The problem of how to dispose tenn
porarily of furniture that would be
in the way in a house in which a
wedding reception is to be held is now
adays settled very easily. You don't
have to transfer these things to other
rooms, only to clog them up, but you
send to the storage and van people
and they willingly do the rest
All you have to do is to indicate
what you want removed. Cabinets,
tables, chairs whatever would be in
the way, you send away, and if you
are to have an orchestra to furnish
the music for the occasion you send
the piano away, too; the various
things thus disposed of making alto
gether probably about a van load.
Then the van with this load in it is
locked up and sealed and driven away,

FIGHTING MICROBES.
University lnaugurates Correspond
ence Course for Physicians.

ence Course for Physicians.
! A correspondence course of twelve
lessons on the theory of immunity
from communicable diseases has just
| been inaugurated by DR.. William d.
Frost of the archaeological depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin
| for the physicians of the state. In
connection with this important new
extension work it is planned to bring
the medical men to the university for
1.-TWO weeks work in the finely equipped
| laboratories of the psychological de-
partment, one week between Semes-
ters in February and at the close of the
college year in June. An important
part of the instruction in the new
course in immunity is the study OF the
opsonic indox theory, one of the most
interesting of recent developments in
the prevention and cure of infectious
diseases. The opsonins Dr. Frost pop
ularly describes as the chilly sauce
for bacteria, preparing them as food
for the white blood corpusles, so that
they may be absorbed and destroyed.
He has been studying the theory and
it's application to various diseases in
the university laboratories, and in
conjunction with Madison physicians
has treated several serious cases. His
explanation of the new treatment is
therefore authoritative, and it's evident
value in medical practice makes it OF
peculiar intrest.
The discovery of the opsonins and
the relation which they sustain to the
treatment of certain infectious dis
eases has created great deal OF dis
cussion, first among physicians, and
lately among the laity," says Or.
Frost by many it is considered that
no more important discovery has been
announced since the antitoxln treat
ment for diphtheria was given to the
world. Certain it is that following the
use of the procedures developed in
connection with this line of work very
remarkable results have been secured,
not only by Sir A. E. Wright OF Eng
land, who discovered the opsonins,
but also by many workers In various
parts of the world. For certain dis
eases it has been found possible to
produce antitoXins, as, for examples
lockiaw and hay fever, but particular
" for diphtheria. For other diseases
1t is possible to make antiseria, which
are not antftoxic in nature, but do
have the power of destroying the in
fictitious agent. For third class of
diseases, however, it is impossible to-
secure seria either to antagonize the
toxins OF microbes. 1t is for this class
of diseases the new therapy is eS-
pecialIy applicable. Against these dis
eases successful vaccinations have
been made and Will undoubtedly be
found increasingly useful. The dis
eases applicable to this method Of
treatment include localized and chron'
ic infections, such as acne, various abb
scesses, gonorrhea and localized in
fections having general symtoms,. as
tuberculosis, and also such diseases
Of a general and acute nature as blood
poison and pneumonia-all have been
successfully treated."-W

Half dozen cities in the central and
western parts of the state were after
the round up" institute, but failed to
secure it. Among these cities were
Lancaster, Grand Rapids, Viroqua,
Mondovi and Grand Rapids.
Supt. McKerrow is planning to hold
about ninety regular and a dozen or
more special institutes during the en-
suing year. The regular ones will be
of two days duration and the special
ones of one day. The regular ones
will begin on Dec. 10 in St CrolX,
Barron and Polk counties and will
continue until the round up" in
March. Gov. Davidson will probably
sneak at some of the Institutes, espe-
cially the round up" which will be in
his section of the state. He has a
large farm at Soldiers Grove and
raises some prize crops. His tobacco
crop last year was among the best in
the state.
The legislature last winter increas-
ed the annual appropriation for farm
Institutes from $4,000 to $4,000.

CHAPTER XII.
Mrs. Cheney's Idea.

From the moment that May Wilson
read of her husbands escape from
Dartmoor she became a changed wo-
man.
Swiftly, suddenly, two terrors had
come into her life One was the dis
coverv that the idea of Frank Allister
loving another woman had caused her
a pang of jealousy. The other was
the fear that John Wilson might make
his way to Remington in search of
her, and that she might in some way
be the means of leading to his capture.
She did not deceive herself as to
the strength of her husbands affection
for her. Possessed of means. she
knew that the length of his separation
from her would not trouble him. But
his present position was desperate
one He could go to no other friends
or acuuaintances. His only chance of
help was from one with whom his
secret would be absolutely safe.
He would do his best, therefore, to
make his way to his wife; not for
shelter-that he would not dare to &C
cept under the same roof-but for
money-the money that would enable
him to be hidden until pursuit was
slackened. She read the papers Gag
erly, yet with a sick heart. She eX-
pected to see that her husband had
been recaptured. AS the days passed
she felt treasured as to his temporary
safety. There was no doubt that he
had succeeded in effectually conceal
ing the direction of his flight from the
police
AS she began to convince herself
that he had made his escape good, a
new anxiety took possession of her.
Evening after evening as she sat in
her room she found herself listening
to the footsteps outside. She expected
every moment that knock would
come to her door, and her landlady
would come in and tell her man was
asking for Miss Wilson.
She was afraid to go out of an even
ing for fear her husband should come
i'm her absence. He would not say
that he was her husband He knew
that she was passing as single wo
man. But he would have to wait
about till she returned, and that might
