LIVE AFTER DEATH
VITAL ORGANS SLOW TO CEASE

All Parts Of the Body Do Not Stimuli
taneously Give Up Their Work
Where Science Admits
Itself at Fault.

To the unscientific citizen 1t Is some
thing of a surprise to learn that large
parts of the body are alive and useful
after the phenomenon popularity known
as death has taken place.
Few of US suspect, for example, that
our kidneys and hearts after we have
died ourselves can in most cases be
resuscitated and that If by some sur
gical miracle they could be trans
planted into another body they would
quickly resume their functions.
This however, is a we'll demonstrate
ed medical fact.
The human heart has been removed
from the body more than 80 hours
after death and made to beat again.
DIR. Carrel OF the Rockefeller institute
has taken the heart from one dog ana
inserted 1t in the neck OF another
connecting the aorta with the carotid
artery of the new heart and the Vena
caya with its jugular vein. In rev
moments the live dog had two heaf's

an unruffled face. There was but one

was to eat his supper and ride away

face was careworn. John Rebstock
had told him why Sinclair lodged;
there were others whom Sinclair
wanted to meet first; and Whispering
Smith was again heading on a long,
hard ride. and after a man on a better
horse. back to the Crawling Stone and

Dicksie with her pulses throbbing at
fever-heat heard the words. She
stood halfway down the stairs, trem-
bling as she listened. Anger, hatred,
the spirit of vengeance, choked in her
throat at the sinister words. She
ionged to stride into the room and
confront the murderer and call down
retribut;on on his head. 1t was no
fear of him that restrained her, for
the Crawling Stone girl never knew
fear. She would have confronted him
and denounced him, but produence
checked her angry impulse. She knew
what he meant to do-to ride into
Medicine Bend under cover of the
storm, murder the two he hated, and
escape in the night; and she resolved
he should never succeed. If she could
only get to the telephone! But the
telephone was in the room where he
sat. He was saying good-by. Her
cousin was trying to dissuade him from
riding out into the storm, but he was
going. The door opened; the men
went out on the porch, and it closed.
Dicksie, lightly as a shadow, ran into
the office and began ringing Medicine
Bend on the telephone.
