AS an investment in the health Of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance com
panies in the United States have es-
tabliShed sanatOria for the treatment
OF tuberculosis, according to a state
ment issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention or
tuberculosis. The Royal League, the
first fraternal order to establish a
sanatorium, conducts a hospital Tor

second n at San Fernando, Cal. The
International Typographical Union has
since 1898 conducted a sanatorlum at
Colorado Springs, and the lnterna-

was necessary to obtain tangible evil
dence of Griswold's ability as a
draughtsman. How to do so without
alarming the clubman was the present
problem.
Britt by no means was prepared to
suspect Griswold of the robbery. He
realized thoroughly that Dorothy's In
formation was all he had to indicate
Griswold any more than Sands, or
two or three others. He did not even
know whether Miss Holcomb could
draw, and 1t was no part of his pur-
pose to distress the imprisoned girl
with questions %betraying the smallest
belief in the accusation against her.
No; Britt always honest with himself,
could not say he suspected Griswold.
His method was the opposite OF Don
nelly's and Carson's. Instead OF sus-
pecting everybody, as they invariably
did in cases at all mysterious, he
would not attach suspicion to anyone
without satisfactory proof. That was
the secret of his success. He was
more than a detective; he was prose-
cutor, judge, jury and counsel to the
defense. 1t accounted for the fac
that he rarely made a mistaken ar

Soon after beginning the use of
Postum, l found, to my surprise, that,
instead of tossing on a sleepless bed
through the long, dreary night, I
dropped into a sound, dreamless sleep
the moment my head touched the pill

Then l suddenly realized that all
my nervousness had left me, and my

All the ervou dread has gone. I

Of suspects on whom his mental ell
forts were concentrated. He was un-
able to drag forth the culprit. her he
| sought to discern the motive for the
crime in the action of each possible
criminal, but he could come to no sat
isfactory conclusion.
More information, more informa-
ton Is needed before the real work
can begin!" he murmured.
In his preoccupation he did not OBJ
serve the door pen and the servant
show in a subordinate from Head
quarters. Not until the visitor spoke
did he become aware of his presence.
Two cablegrams for you, sir" the
subordinate said.
The first cablegram aroused no emo
tons in the detective.
"Have obtained original drawings.
Will sail tomorrow with Them" the
message from Logan read.
He opened the second envelope and
read the contents half a dozen times,
as If to stamp them indelibly on his
mind.
Drawings for duplicates taken to
manufacturer by young woman Gave
name of Elinor Holcomb."
Britt dismissed the visitor, left the
house, and FASTENED to the Office OF
DR.. Fitch. Taking the important
cablegram from his pocket, he handed
1t to the physician. The doctors eyes
fingered on each word. His face paled,
his eyes bulged forward, a violent
tremor ran up and down his frame.
This Is awful" he groaned.
Its great new for you and Miss
HoIcomb," the detective smiled.
Fitch eyed him in ~perplexity. The
detective met his inquir1ng gaze stead
lily, and, slowly folding the cablegram.
he said:
ut proves beyond question she had
no part in the crime
Howl" Fitch demanded eagerly.
IF Miss Holcomb had been clever
enough to plan the theft, she'd have
known better than to go about Paris
ordering the duplicates. Also. If she
had taken the diamonds, she'd
have permitted n of them to remain
in her room in Mrs. Missioner's
house. No, whoever stole those gems
deliberately tried to throw suspicion
on her"
but who could have conceived such
a dastardly crime?" Fitch blurted, a
wave Of anger sweeping his frame.
whoever 1t was Britt returned,
either was actuated by enmity to-
ward the young woman, or knew
enough about the Missioner household
to realize that suspicion would natur-
ally fall on her, and therefore he de-
cided to use her as a cloak to hide
his W identity. However, l now
have something to work on, something
that will produce quick results. DR..
Fitch, you may tell Miss Holcomb
that in my calculations she is entirely
eliminated from participation in the
crime. You may inform her also that
the hunt for the thief has begun"
Before the physician recovered
from the pleasant shock Of the de-
tective's words, Britt was hurrying
down the steps.

prettiness permitted. But I've en-

He had cause to thank her, he be-
lieved. For, in her girlish talk, she
had given him the first Missioner
clue of the week-or, rather, she had
extended for him a thread of the
mystery that had occupied much OF
his thoughts from the moment when
he received Logan's cable saying he
paste Jewels were made from
sketches. For days, he had sought
to learn who among Mrs. M~issioner's
intimates was artist enough to make
such delicate draughts of the dia-
monds as would be required by an ar
tificer for the manufacture of 1m1ta-
tons. With that object, he had ascer-
tanned Dorothy's intention to go to the
matinee in the Forrest n had gone
to the theater to meet her under con-
ditions not likely to interfere with
such gentle questioning of her as he
meant t. do. His yelled interrogation
of the society girl had brought forth
the fact that Curtis Griswold could
sketch-that the clubman was suth-
GENTLY master of his pencil to have
his skill pretty generally known
among his acquaintances. Lorlmer
and Daubigny, the other society ar
lists she had mentioned, were not, ne
knew, in Mrs. Missioner's circle.
1t was fortunate for Lieutenant
Britt, as we'll as for Elinor Holcomp
and Doctor Fitch, and everybody
whose hopes hinged on the detectives
success in solving the great Missioner
diamond mystery, that long custom
made him thread the traffic of the
city's %throbbing artery automatically

the possibilities of his newest lnfor-

Dorothy March Talks.

Oofotny MdrCn ! AXIS.
Matinee girls In the Forrest Theater
differ from their sisters of other New
York playhouses in that they are far
more serious than anybody in the eve
ming audiences. Caramels, marshmal-
lows, chocolate creams are forbidden
by the unwritten law OF their cult.
The utmost nourishment one Of them
can allow herself Is a sailed almond
nibbled surreptitiously between de-
corous little outbursts of kid-gloved
applause. 1t Is not the sort of gather
ing In which one would expect to find
the busiest sleuth of the headquarters
staff, especially with a great diamond
mystery on his hands. Yet, on n
of those warm January afternoons
that make the metropolis wonder If 1T
Is being metamorphosed into a winter
resort, one of the most interested aud
itors in the select little theater was
Detective-Lieutenant Britt, Of Man
ning's staff.
Britt found the somebody he sought
when his gaze fell on a slim little fig
ure in the trimmest of dove-colored
gowns, sitting in the fifth row of the
center aisle. Instantly his last pre-
tense of attention to the play van
ished. Keeping his eyes on the gray
curves of the girl in the fifth row, he
quilted his post at one side of the
house and walked slowly to the main
exit, whence he watched her until the
curtain fell on the first act. Mean
while, he scribbled on a card, slipped
a liberal tip into the receptive hand
Of an usher, and indicated the object
of his interest. When the curtain fell
on the first act, the usher hurried
down the aisle, and presented the
card to the girl in gray.
IF Miss March," read the young
woman, will spare a few minutes to
Britt, of Headquarters, she will con-
fer a favor and serve her friend, Mrs.
Missioner"
Dorothy gathered her wrap, glasses
and program quickly and followed the
usher to the back of the theater. The
youth led her to the famous detective,
whom. though she had heard of him
through Doris Missioner, she beheld
for the first time.
You wished to see me?" inquired
Dorothy. 1t was a banal question. and
a flush tinged her cheeks as she re
allied its superfiuousness could not es'
