turn to take a hand in the game.
III.-Doret gives Necia handsome
silk gown brought by him from .Daw-

she meets Lieutenant Burrell, who
falls madly in love with her, and he

girl, and Stark finds that Necia has
a strange, unexplainable fascination
for him. His baby daughter had
been stolen years before. Burrell be-
comes the declared enemy of both

Gale is discharged, the bullet acct

CHICAGO THE HEALTHIEST CITY
Report Gives the Death Rate at 14.1O
for Every 1000 Population.

Chicago, March 5.-Chicago still
remains the healthiest American city,
according to the health report for
1908, just made public.
It's death rate from all causes is
14.1O per thousand of population.
A total of 3O,548 persons died
during the year-1595 fewer than in
1907. Seven per cent of the total
deaths were due to violence, and of
these an even 500 were suicides-an
increase of 101 over the previous
year.
The increase in self-destruction is
attributed to financial depression.
