Steadily medical science is closing

man might do pretty much as he
pleased and live. Now whatever he
may do is deadly. The Chicago health
department has just issued warning
against country springs; in the pei.
lucid water of these springs death
turks IN all OF it's hideous forms. Also
TO quaff a cooling from the "old Oaken
Bucket" is dangerous. What to drink
was long a matter of price rather than
choice. But now 1t Is matter Of
neither choice nor price. The million
aire as well as the pauper confronts
death whenever he drinks or eats IL
Is unkind of "s2ience" to point out so
many dangers and not to Indicate any
paths Of safety that the ordinary per-
son will be content to travel Perhaps
the most comfortable thing. If not the
safest, to do. Is TO take a chance now
and then and refuse to be alarmed.

CHAPTER XXI.


YXTHEN the light of returning con-
w sciousness finally pierced the
black lethargy that ~enshrouded
him, Mr.. Grimm's mind was a chaos
of vagrant. absurd fantasies: then
slowly. slowly realization struggled
back to its own, and he came to know
things. First was the knowledge that
he was lying Hat on his back. on a
couch. it seemed; then, that he was in
the dark-an utter, Gbjcct darkness.
And finally came an Overwhelming
scnse of silence.
For awhile he lay motionless, with
not even the movement OF an eyelash
To indicate consciousness, wrapped in n
delicious lansuor. Gradually this passed
and the feeble fiutter Of his heart grew
into a steady, rhythmic beat. The keen
brain was awakening; he was begin
ming to remember. What had happen
ed? He knew only that in some man
ncr a drug had been administered to
him, a bitter dose tasting OF opium
that speechlessly he had fought against
il, that he had risen from the table in
the restaurant and that he had fallen.
All the rest was blank.
With eyes still closed n nerveless
| hands inert at his sides he listened the
while he turned the situation over in
speculative mood. The waiter had adj
ministered the drug, of course. unless
unless it had been the courteous
stranger who had replaced the news
paper on the table. That thought
opened new fields of conjecture. Mr..
Grimm had no recollection of ever hay
ing seen him before; and he had paid
only the enforced attention of polite
ness to him. And why had the drug
been administered? Vaguely, inco-
herently, Mr.. Grimm imagined that In
some way it had to do with the great
international plot Of war In which Miss
Thorne was so delicate and vital an
instrument.
Where was he? Conjecture stopped
there. Evidently he was where the
courteous gentleman in the restaurant
wanted him to be. A prisoner? Prob
ably. In danger? Long, careful atten-
ton to detail work in the secret serv-
ice had convinced Mr.. Grimm that he
was always in danger. That was one
reason-and the best-why he had lain
motionless, without SO much as lifting
O finger, since tina first glimmer of
consciousness had entered his brain
He was probably under scrutiny, even
in the DARKNESS, and for the present
it was desirable to accommodate any
chance watcher by remaining APP
parently unconscious.
And so fer a long time he lay, listen

Violin Fingers.

Dear Miss Doom:
Is there n wa in which / can
make my fingers longer and more sup
pie in order to facilitate my violin
playing? STRADIVARIUS.
There is no way whatever to make
the fingers longer. You can, however,
make them supple by massaging them
each day with sweet almond oil, and
exercising as follows. Close the fingers
tightly in the palm, opening with force;
do this from twenty to twenty-five
times, twice each day, or whenever
you think of It.
