CHAPTER VII.
An Old Perfume,

@OR nine years Stuart had re &A fused to see or speak to Nan.
 He met Bivens as matter of
 course but always downtown during business hours or at one of his clubs For the first year Nan had re sented his attitude in angry pride and remained, silent. And then she began to do curious thing which had grown to be a part of bis inmost life. For z the past eight years she had written brief daily diary recording her doings, thoughts and memories which she mail ed to him every Sunday night. She asked no reply. and he gave none. No names appeared in it's story and no name was signed to the dainty sheets of. paper which always bore the per fume of wild strawberries. But the man who read them in silence knew and understood.
 The letter from her he held today was not an unsigned sheet of her diary. It was direct, personal a ppeal. tender and beautiful in it's sincerity. She beg ged him to forget the past because she needed his friendship and advice. and asked that he come to. see her at once.
 This letter was his first temptatio to break the resolution by which he had lived for years.
 He rose and paced the room with fury as he began to realize how des- perate was his desire to go.
 Have I fought all these years for nothing:'' he cried.
 The thing that drew him with all but resistless power was the deeper meaning between the lines. He knew that each day the incompEeteness of her life had been borne in upon her with oerushinsc force. And yet he felt. by am instinct deeper than reason, that the day he returned from his exile and toficfled her hand would mark the be ginning of tragedy for both
 Tn the past nine years he had thrown his life away only to find it in greater power. The first year which he had given of unselfish devotion to the serv- ice of the people had been failgr@

RABIES AND OTHER DISEASES

Washington. Sept 24-.-The dread scourge of rabies could be easily erad- icated from the whole continent Of North America said Prof. Henry Al bert of the University of Iowa. speak ing before the International Congress on Hygiene and Denography today that in the United States in 1911 there were 3537 persons bitten by rabfd dogs: Sin Russia there were 3,520; in Italy 3537, Altogether there are near iys 1000 persons in the world each year bitten by dogs suffering fram hydro phobia.

 "fBut you're not impudent, Jin,'' she broke in ca gerly, "and I understand"
 I'm beginning to wonder Stuart continued, whether nature made a mistake when she made woman as she is- I once knew a girl of fifteen to whom I believe life was the deepest tragedy or the highest joy of which her heart will ever be capable. Else why did the blood come and go so- quickly in her cheeks ?"
 A sudden flush mantled HarTiet'S face, and she turned away that he might not see. Stuart's head bent low and rested between his hands
 T loved such a little girl once, dear''- ~
 Harriet's face suddenly flushed with joy. It was too wonderful to be true, but it was true. And he had chosen this curious way to tell her. Her voice sank to the softest whisper as she bent closer:
 And you love her still, Jim?'
 His head dropped lower as he sighed:
 "I loved and lost her, little pail She was married two days ago. She came to the great city, learned it's ways and sold herself for gold..'
 The color had slowly returned to the little freckled face with it's crown of golden hair, and the deep brown eyes o7erhowed with tears for just a mo- ment. She brushed them away before he raised his head, so that he never knew.
 I'm so sorry, Jim, :, she said simply. '.I understand now
 Its very sweet to have you share this ugly secret of my life, little pal. It will help mes..zss.sssss-sz-.. -.s.-....,.,
 And you are sorry you ever knew her, JimY
 '.No, Pm not sorry. I've grown to see that there's just one thing in the world that's really big-big as God is hig-the man who has attained char acter. I haven't lived at all yet. I'm just beginning to see what it means to live. Until now I've thought only of myself. A new light has illunained the way. Now-Tm going to live for oth- CTS From today I shall ask nothing for myself, and can never be disap- pointed again
 Harriet looked up quickly.
 Would it please you, Jim. if I should make a great singer ?'
 More than I can tell you. dear. Your voice is divine gift. I envy you its power
 Her eyes were shining with great purpose
 "I know that it means years and years of patient work. but I'll do it." she cried.
 When the last echo of his footstep in the hall above died away and his door had closed the little golden head bowed, low in a passionate tender prayer:
 God help me to keep my secret and yet to love and help him always!"

 The conclusion that many cases of what is called 'fcaisson disease are due not so much to work in compressed n1ospheres was offered before the In- ternationai Congress on Hygiene and Demography today by T.

 sswhen it was first introduced he said '.the medical air lock reduced the death rate from caisson disease from 25 per cent to one per cent. and in the latest of the large engineering g enterprises the death rate has been reduced still further to nineteen one hundrerths of one per cent.
