A cancer remedy" analysed in this
book is thus described:
1T is a colorless liquid. containing a
trace of sediment: the odor Is that Of
alcohol, though very slightly vinous.
Fractional distillation showed the pres
ence of about 40 per cent Of alcohol;
on complete evaporation, trace Of dry
residue was left. This residue was free
from any alkaloid, and its behavior
with reagents gave no indication Of
any other active principle; it agreed
in character with the 'extractive' found
in spirit that has been kept in a wine
cask. After removing the alcohol, the
liquid was perfectly tasteless. This
remedy Is thus very simple in nature,
consisting merely Of diluted and slight
ly impure alcohol
In issuing this volume the British
Medical association has rendered
public service in a perfectly proper and
legitimate manner. If an American
authority Of equal standing would fol-
low it's example. 1t would be most
praisworthy action.-Bellman.

a. m. 1t is in this house that some eight
or nine members of the smart set were
imprisoned during the course of a din

developed smallpox. The party shut
| in the house includes Miss Katherine
McNair, the daughter of Theodore Nc
Nair, of the Inter-Ocean system; Mr.
and Mrs. Dallas Brown, the Misses
Mercer Maxwell Reed, the well known
clubman and whip, and a Mr.. Thomas
HARRISON, guest of the Dallas Browns
and a South American.
"'Officer McCloud's story, told to
Chronicle reporter this morning, is as
follows: The occupants of the house
had been uneasy all day. From the
air of subdued hustle, and from care
full inspection of the roof, made by the
entire party during the afternoon, his
suspicion had been aroused. Nothing
unusual. however, occurred during the
early part of the night. From eight
o'clock to twelve McCloud was relieved
from duty, his place being taken by
Michael Shane, of the Eighty sixth
Street Station.
when McCloud came on duty at
midnight, Shane reported that about
eleven o'clock the Searchlight of
steamer on the river, flashing over the
house. had shown a man crouching
on the parapet, evidently surveying
the roof across. which at this point is
only twelve feet distant, with a view
of making his escape. on seeing Shane
below, however, he had beat a retreat,
but not before the officer had seen him
distinctly. He was dressed in evening
clothes and wore a light tan overcoat.
"'Officer McClOud relieved Shane at
midnight, and sent for plain clothes
man from the stationhouse. This man
was stationed on the roof of the Bev-
ington residence next door, with stric;
injunctions to prevent an escape from
the quarantined mansion. Nothing
suspicious having occurred, the man on
the roof left about 3 n. m., reporting to
McCloud below that everything was
quiet. At that moment, glancing sky
ward. one of the officers was astound, d
to see a long narrow board project it
self from the coping of the Wilson
house, wave uncertainty for mo-
ment, and then advance stealthily to-
ward the parapet across. When it was
within a foot or two of resting place.
McCloud called sharply to the invisible
refugee above, at the same time firing
his revolver in the ground.
THE result was surprising. The
board stopped. trembled, swayed lit
tie, and dropped. missing the vigilant
officer by q hairs breadth, and crash
ing to the cement with terrific force.
An inspection of the roof from the
Bevington house, later, revealed moth
ing unusual. 1t is evident, however,
that the quarantine is proving irksome
to the inhabitants of the SequeStered
society folk, without resources in
themselves. Their condition, without
Wallets and maids, is certainly pitiable.
1t has been rumored that the ladies are
doing their own hair, and that the gen.
tlemen have been reduced to putting
their own buttons in their shirts. This
deplorable situation, however, is un-
avoidable.

CHAPTER MI.
The Roof Garden.


1 was quite i'll the next morning
from excitement, l suppose. Anyhow
l did not get up, and there wasn't any
breakfast. Jim said he reused Flan'
nigan at eight o'clock, to go dowr
and get the fire started. and then wen
back to bed. But Flanagan did no
get up. He appeared, sheepishly. a
half-past ten. and by that time Bella
was down, in a towering rage, and hat
burned her hand and got the fire start
ed, and had taken up a tray for Aunt
Selma and herself.
AS the others struggled down they
boiled themselves eggs or ate fruit
and nobody put anything away. Lolli'
Mercer made me some tea and scOrch'
ed toast, and brought it, about clever
o'clock.
Il never saw such a house" she de-
clared. "A dozen housemaids couldn1
put it in order. Why should every mar
that smokes drop ashes wherever h'
happens to be-"
That's the question of the ages,
I replied languidly. What was Man
talking so horribly about little while
ago." Lollie looked up aggrieved.
About nothing at all" she declared
Anne told me to clean the bath tubs
with oil, and l did it, that's all. Now
Max says he couldn't get it off, and his
clothes stick to him, and if he should
forget and strike a match in the-iI
the usual way, he would explode. He
can clean his own tub tomorrow" she
finished vindictively.
At noon Jim came in to see me
bringing Anne as a concession to Bella
He was in a rage and he carried the
morning paper like a club in his hand
What sort of a newspaper lie would
you call this?" he demanded irritably
1T makes me crazy; everybody with
a mental image of me leaning over the
parapet of the roof, waving a board
with the rest of YOU sitting on my legs
to keep me from overhalancing!"
Maybe there's q picture!" Anne said
hopefully.
Jim looked.
NO picture" he announced. Il won

added, with fresh access of rage, "ol

When you are all through discuss
ing this thing, perhaps you will tel
me what is the matter" l remarked
from my couch. Why did you lean
over the parapet, Jim, and who sat OF
your legs?"
IT didn't: nobody did" he retorted
waving the newspaper. It's a lie out
of the whole cloth, that's what it is.

1.-The vigilance Of the board of
health has been most commendable in
this case. Beginning with a wager
over the telephone that they would
break quarantine in twentyfour hours,
and ending with the attempt to span a
twelve-foot gulf with a board, over
which to cross to freedom, these shut
in society folk have shown character
istic disregard of the laws of the state.
1t is quite time to extend to the mil
lonaire the same strictness that keeps
the commuter at home for three weeks

the milk bottles and groceries from the
gate-pOSt and smell like dog-Soap for
month afterward, as a result OF dis
Infection"
We sat in dead silence for minute.
Then:
Perhaps it is true" | said. Not
of you, Jim-bIt some one may have
tried to get out that way. In fact,
think it extremely likely"
who? Flanagan? You couldn't
drive him out. He's having the time
of his life. Do you suspect me?"
Come away and don't fight" Anne
broke in practically. You will have to
have luncheon sent in, Jimmy; nobody
has ordered anything from the shops,
and l feel like old Mother Hubbard"
"I wish vou would all go ont" said
wearily. IF every man in the house
says he didn't try To get over to the
next roof last night, well and good.
But you might look and see II the
board is still lying where IL lell.
