TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. Of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National Az
sociation for the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis 1t Is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the 10000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than 10000 are infected
with the disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons Of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity Of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.

CHAPTER x.
The Traders Bank.

The morning after Halsey's return
was Tuesday. Arnold Armstrong had
been found dead at the foot of the cir
cular staircase at three o'clock on
Sunday morning. The funeral services
were to be held on Tuesday, and the
interment of the body was to be de-
ferred until the Armstrong; arrived
from California. No one, | think, was
very sorry that Arnold Armstrong was
dead, but the manner of his death
aroused some sympathy and an enor-
nous amount of curiosity. Mrs. Ogden
Fitzhugh, cousin, took charge of the
arrangements, and everything, l be-
lieve, was as quiet as possible. ! gave
Thomas Johnson and Mrs. Watson
permission to go into town to pay
their last respects to the dead man,
but for some reason they did not care
to go.
Halsey spent part of the day with
Mr.. Jameson, but he said nothing of
what happened. He looked grave and
anxious, and he had a long conversa-
tion with Gertrude late in the after
noon.
Tuesday evening found us quiet,
with the quiet that precedes an ex-
plosion. Gertrude and Halsey were
both gloomy and distraught. and as

some of the china was broken-it is

murder. We had turned away at least
a dozen reporters. But | read over
the headline that ran halfway across
the top of the Gazette twice before l

the Chronicle and was staring at 1t

victim is reported, and Archie Camp
bell, manager of the Last Chance

came to Goldfield yesterday to en-
deavor to establish the identity of the
unfortunate.
Mr. Campbell encountered the un-
known man on the desert in fright
full condition. He was in the last
stages of desert exhaustion, devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blistered and
crazed, with his tongue swollen enor-
mously a pitiable object, and unable
to speak
He was tenderly conveyed to camp

"I-expected it. But not so soon,"
he replied

stopped her.

quietly; Jack is-under arrest"

and tore the paper out of his hand.
She glanced at the heading, then she

Quaint Table Manners.

Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth mil
lionaire, talked at dinner about the
delights of backwoods vacation.
Il go to a quaint backwoods village
every summer" he said, "and number
less are the quaint people l meet
there.
"Old Boucher, for instance, the jan
itor of the village church, is most
amusing with his quaint ways. l had
old Boucher to lunch one day, and
the cold lobster was served with a
mayonnaise sauce. When my servant
offered this sauce to Boucher, the old
man stuck his knife in it, took up a
little on the blade, tasted it. then
shook his head and said:
Don't choose none."

One of them discovered a print pic.

meath which was printed "The House

Turning to his friend in mild surprise
he pointed to the print. His friend ex-
hibited equal surprise, and called a
waiter, who assured them of the ac-
curacy of the inscription.
