Light on cause OF iupeTculosis'
The sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was held
in Washington on May and 8. Among
the most interesting papers was one
by DR.. William H. Park, the famous
pathologist and head of the labora-
tories of the New York city depart
ment of health. Doctor Park contended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, If ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating of meat.
tuberculosis of the stomach and inter-
nal organs, which compose only about
ten per cent of the sickness from
this disease, are often caused by drink
ing or eating infected matter. Doctor
Park substantiated his conclusions by
showing the results of years of inves-
tigation and examination of pathology
cal specimens. His conclusions are
substantially those reached by DR..
Robert Koch, the discoyerer Of the tu'
berculosis bacillus.

CHAPTER *.

The Land Of the Little Brown jug.
Caboose 01S6, with three box cars
and locomotive attached, lay in the
southeastern yards at Raleigh late in
the evening of the same day. In the
observatory sat Mr.. Thomas Ardmore,
chatting with the conductor, while
they waited for the right of way. Mr..
Ardmore's pockets were filled with
papers, and he held half dozen tele.
grams in his hand. The freight cars
behind him were locked and sealed.
and a number of men lounging near
appeared to be watching them.
The reply of the sheriff of Dilwell
county had precipitated the crisis.
That official succinctly replied to
Ardmore's message:
Be good and acquire grace.
While Jhis dictum had aroused Miss
Dangerfield's wrath and Indignation,
1t Gained her fellow conspirator, and
for hours Ardmore had poured forth
by telegraph and telephone. No such
messages as his had ever before re-
dated from Raleigh. The tolls would
have bankrupted the commonwealth
IL Ardmore had not cared for them
out of his private purse. His forester,
with an armed posse from Ardsley,
was already following the streams
and beating the brush in search Of
Appleweight One car of Ardmores
special train contained machine gun
and supply of rifles; another abun-
dant ammunition and commissary sup

| The men who loafed about the train
were q detail of strike-breakers from
a detective agency, borrowed for the
occasion. Cooke, the conductor of the
train, had formerly been in the gov
eminent secret service, and knew the
Carolina hill country as he knew the
palm of his hand. Ardmore had
warned his manager and the house.
keeper on his estate to prepare for
the arrival Of Mrs. Atchison, whose
private car had come and gone, car,
rying Miss Geraldine Dangerfleld on
to Ardsley. Ardmore had just re-
ceived a message from his sister at
some way station, reporting all well
and containing these sentences: "She
is rather different, and do not quite
make her out She has our noble
brother-in-law good deal Devil
dered." q
Cooke ran forward for a colloquy
with the engineer over their orders;
the guards climbed into one of the
box cars, and the train moved slowly
out of the Raleigh yards to the mair
line and ratified away toward Kildare
with Mr. Ardmore, pipe in mouth
perched in the caboose cupola.
Not Capt. Kidd nor another of the
dark brotherhood sailed forth will

the locomotive suggested a black flag
and the thought of it tickled hi

when night came, after the loni
