Genevra hac caught her watching Dep.
bingham with eyes that spoke vol
umes. though they were mute and
wistful.
From time to time the sentjnels
brought to Lord Deppingham and
Chase missives that had been tossed
over the walls by the emissaries of
Rasula. They were written by the
leader himself and In every instance
expressed deepest sympathy for the
plague ridden chateau.
There's a paucity of real news in
these gentle messages that annoys
me-" Chase said after reading aloud
the last of the epistles to the princess
and the Deppinghams. II rejoice In
my heart that he isn't aware of the
true state of affairs. He doesn't ap-
preciate the real calamity that con-
fronts us. The plague? Poison? Mere
pitfle. If he only knew that / am now

81 believe you would die more GER
tainly from lack of cigarettes than
from an overabundance of poison"
said Genevra. She was thinking of
the stock she had boarded up for him
in her dressing table drawer, under
lock and key.
II say, Chase, can't you just see
Rasula's face when he learns that
We've been drinking the water all
along and haven't passed away"
cried Deppingham.
"And to think. MI. Chase, we once
called you the enemy" said Lady
Agnes In a low, dreamy voice.
II appear to have outlived my USE
fulness in that respect" he said. He
tossed the stub of his cigarette over
the balcony rail. "Goodbyi" he said,
with melancholy emphasis. Then he
bent an inquiring look upon the face
of the princess.
YES" she said. as If he had asked
the question aloud. "You shall have
three a day. that's all"
You'll leave the entire fortune to
me when you sail away. 1 trust" he
said. The neppinghams were puzzled.
"But you also will be sailing away"
she argued.
AZ? You forget that 1 have had no
orders to return. Sir John expects m"
to stay. AT least, so I've heard in a
roundabout way"
You don" mean to say. Chase, that

handed Lord Deppingham earnestly.
The two women were looking at him
In amazement.

Notwithstanding the persistent ef-
forts OF County Physician Pldcock TO
coniine the smallpox TO families eX-
posed to the disease, there are now
eighty well developed cases In the
vicinity of Harrisville. Farr West and
Eden. The latest cases TO develop
are in the families of L. J. Taylor and
Mr. Barnett and these families are
now under surveillance, making %
families now under quarantine In the
three districts referred to.
II has been ascertaned that the
disease was brought TO Harrisville by
family from Idaho. who were ignor-
ant of the disease with which they
were afflicted, The children belong
ing TO this family were admitted TO
the public school and every pupil at
tending was thus exposed
\ special health officer has been
detailed to watch the spread of the
disease, and Dr. Pidcock Is devot,

fort to place the epidemic under con-
troll. At first only children were af-
fected. but the victims now include
adults and the epidemic has become a
serious matter

Mr. Smith stated that on the 9Th
OF August, 1909. he purchased Il small
quantity OF Hamburger steak at Mr..
Billiards. butcher shop on Twenty
fourth street and turned the same
over to State Chemist Harms to be
tested as to It's purity.
The state chemist stated that he
had tested the Hamburger steak re-
ferrcd to by Mr. Smith. and had
found that IL contained "freezecm. a
preservatlve composed of sulphites. -
Upon this testimony. Prosecuting
Attorney Jensen rested the case.
The defendant offered no proof, but
asked that the case be dismissed on
the ground that the state had failed
TO prove a crime under the statutes.
The contention OF the attorney for
Ballard was that ''preseryatiyc, ,"
'freezecm' or "sulphIteS" given in
the testimony OF State Chemist
Harms old not mean anything in the
case. because no proof was given that
they, or il, or whatever It might be, -
were dcleterious substances. or that
"freezecm" rendered the food-Ham
burger steak-impure; and. also, that
there was no proof given by the state
that this preservatiye was not salt OF
saltpeter. or some other preseryativo
which the law says may be used Ia
cure meats.
The case WAS dismissed on this
technicality.
