beating. What had the love-lorn fool
said to the child?
He said that he was not a good
man, and that you tolerated him be-
cause he ran errands for you. What
kind of errands?"
Mrs. Chedsoye did not know wheth-
er to laugh or take the child by the
shoulders and shake her soundly. He
was laughing when he said that. Er-
rands? One would scarcely call it
that"
why did you renew the acquaint-
ance with Mr. Jones, when you knew
that you never intended paying back
that loan?"
Here was a question, Mrs. Chedsoye
realized, from the look of the child,
that would not bear evasion.
What makes you think l never in
tended to repay him."
Fortune laughed. 1t did not sound
grateful in the mothers ears.
Mother, this is crisis; it can not
be met by counter-questions nor by
t1ippancy. You know that you did
not intend to pay him. What I de-
mand to know is, why you spoke to
him again, SO affably, why you seemed
so eager to enter into his good graces
once more. Answer that"
Her mother pondered. For once she
was really at loss. The unexpected
ness of this phase caught her off her
BALANCE. She saw one thing vividly,
regretfully: she had missed valuable
point in the game by not adjusting
her play to the growth of the child,
who had, with the phenomenal sud
denness which still battles the psy-
biologists, stepped out Of girlhood
into Womanhood, all in a day. What
fool she had been not to have left
the child at Mentone!

Mrs. Chedsoye was pale, and the ar

did not disguise the pallor The true
evidence lay in the whiteness of her
nose. Never in her varied life had

CHAPTER XII.
Episodic,


Fortune had Immediately returned
from the bazaars. And a kind Of tor
por blanketed her mind, usually so
fertile and active. For a time the
process of the evolution of thought
was denied her; she tried to think, but
there was an appalling lack Of continu-
ity, of broken threads. 1t was like one
Of those circumferential railways; she
travelled, but did not get anywhere.
Ryanne had told her too much for his
own sake, but too little for hers. She
sat back in the carriage. inert and
listless, and indeterminedly likened
her condition to driftwood in the ebb
and flow Of beach-waves. The color
and commotion Of the streets were
no longer absorbed; it was as If she
were riding through emptiness,
through the unreality of dream. She
was oppressed and stifled, too; harb-
niger of storms.
Mechanically she dismissed the car
riage at the hotel, mechanically she
went to her room, and in this semi
conscious mood sat down in a chair,
and there Georges wish found her,
futilely. Oh, there was one thing
clear, clear as the sky outside. All

mination. Four blind walls surround
ed her. The United Romance and Ad-
venture company-there could not pos
sibly be such a thing in existence; it
was jest of Ryanne's to cover UP
something far more serious.
She pressed her eyes with hand.

d& Stubborn as the lock was, persever-
til Ence overcame it. George then, as a
IN slight diversion, spread the ancient

ii It in pleasurable contemplation. What
? beauty 1t was! What exquisite blue.
what soft red, what minute patterns!
;, And this treasure was his. He leaned
U down upon it with his two hands. A
color stole into his cheeks. 1t had its
NJ source in an old confusion; school
boys jeering a mate seen walking
home from school with a girl. It was
all rot, he perfectly knew, this wish
n ing business; and yet he flung into the
tt sun-warmed, sun-gilded space an ar
~ dent wish, sent 1t speeding round the
~ world from east to west. Fast as heat,

one touched Fortunes eyes, her hair,

u happy ways. But, alas! such wishes

b compressed, her whole attitude one of
h mpotent despair.

The theory that mosquitoes convey
the disease known as yellow fever
is many years old, but 1t was not un.
til the year 1895 that it was proteH
to be true. During that year Major
Ronald Ross, working in India along
the lines of Sir Patrick Manson's thN-
ory, demonstrated that mosquitoes ce
the genus called anopheles claritaA
conveyed the disease. In 1897-98 en-
periments in Cuba and other parts oA
the world established similar COM
clusion. 1t Is in consequence Of this
discovery that the dread disease q

he thought to be the glass of fashion
and the mold Of form, he turned for
the first time toward his trunk. He
did not rub his eyes; 1t wasn't at all
necessary; the thing he saw, or rath~

a doubt, as plainly definite as two and

This statement was made today by

man from Indiana, and was seconded
by Roger c. Sullivan, national commit
tcennn from Illinois.
I'VE do not believe there will be

out that the Democratic party IL a be-
lever in States rights; that II has
never wavered in that support. and that
to pledge the National Government to
put into effect legislation that should
originate with the several States would
be an absolute violation of the old-tme
rule.
AS things now stand the conserva-
tive leaders are in control OF this sit
uation. Last week all the sentiment in
Baltimore was for Harmon. 1t veered
to Clark, and Is now setting in for VIII

several contests to pass on today. 1t
had been practically in advance that

Mayor Carter Harrison, OF Chicago
was prepared to contest the seats OF
