SCOURCE or SOUTH
MAKES 2. 600. 900 SEEM LAZY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IA
A new scourge of the south is the
subject of an inquiry which will be
made by the public health and ma
rine hospital service. 1t is caused
by the ravages of the hookworm,
recently classified as the germ of
laziness" by Surgeon General Tor
ney of the army.
From researches made by physi-
clans in Georgia and the Carolinas,
is it known that the ravages of the
hookworm, more than any other
cause, are responsible for the mac
tivity and lack of progress of the
poorer whites of the Atlantic sea.

Instead Oh the climate causing
poverty, it is the weakness of the
bodies of these humble jewellers on
sand areas. where the hookworm is
prevalent to the greatest extent.

appetite for dirt, mark the march
of the disease, which may linger for
years before death finally comes.
When 1t first was announced that
the germ of laziness had been
found, the discovery was treated as
a public joke. And not until 1t
was made certain that upwards of
1000 900 persons in the south were
suffering from the hookworm's eff

the enormity of the peril.

CONTINUED From Yesterday,

HE is on his way to his ranch IN the

Roger March took from THO noble fit

1t was so like removing the parapher-
MALTA of a dead man that Alicia shud-
dered as she passed the door. Seated
at a table in her own rooms, Watson
passed over to her certain deeds, pa
pers and a handbook showing a large
sum of money deposited to her credit
| at the bank.
For all of these he required Alicia's
| signed receipt, which she mechanically
gave, understanding little of the de-
tails OF business. When it was over
| Watson rose and took his hal.
But said Alicia, dazed II dis
traught by all that had passed so
quickly, and helpless in the manage
ment of affairs. what shall l do with
these things? Will you take charge Of
them? I really don't-don't UNDER

Excuse me-" answered Watson cold
Iy, "it is impossible for me to act fur

more information, and will notify me
who Is your man OF business, / will
consult with him at any time" And
without saying good-morning, n put
ting his hat on in her presence, Watson
left the room.
Alicia sat stunned, but dimly con-
scious of the indignity and affront put
upon her. She was of a caste accus-
toned to all the n~iceties of respect, and
she had managed to retain them until
now. She began to ask herself, if she
received such treatment from Watson,
what might she expect from the whole
world? And then there was an awful
sense of loss in the mere absence of
her husband. Often during the four
years of her last marriage 1t had
seemed to her as if her husband was
the person who put everything out of
joint. She had her establishment. her
money, her liberty, and could do as
she pleased, which was freely granted
her, and life would have been delight
full, but close TO her always was this
man before whom she must ever act
the part of q perfectly upright woman
1t was that which had produced the
curious sense of dislocation and bewil-

even in those first hours of shock. She
was no more able to rid herself of the
involuntary hold which Sir Percy Carl
yon had upon her tina she had been a
dozen years before. With the Carl
yons, however, She had a strong card to
play in General Talbot, who would
soon be at hand. She sent for the
servants and calmly informed them that
her husband, whom she called Mr..
} March for the first time, would be alb
sent indefinitely, and that the establish
nlent would be kept up, n they could
retain their positions, if their conduct
remained good.
In the afternoon Colegrove's card was
brought UP to her. She went down in
to one of the vast, silent drawing-rooms
to see him. Colegrove was not pleased
at this. and would rather have seen her
in her boudoir. but, nevertheless, met
her with a smile and debonair amer.
Alicia looked pale, but her manner was
quite composed.
II hope you will pardon mo for say
ing that am afraid your husband has
acted hastily" said Colegrove, when
they were seated, but, of course, the
career of a man like that can't be closed
So suddenly. All this will blow yer in

| ideal place to say what he had come to
say. He said 1t, however, glancins
through the wide-open doors to see that
no person was in hearing.
March has accused himself of what
no one believes, but has left you to bear
the real burden. That is really what
his alleged confession amounts to. l
don't think hat you owe him any
thing. If he stays away, as you tell
me he means to, you may claim your
freedom at any time, and then perhaps
you will consider me, who would never

own part, 1, of course, can get a di-

The same strange feeling of indigna-

her. Now hat he was gone, however,
the dislocation and bewilderment
seemed greater than ever. She came of

found a little of her courage, and be-
