CHAPTER XII.
Episode.


Fortune had Immediately returned
from the bazaars. And a kind of tor
por blanketed her mind. usually so
fertile and active. For 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 IL she
were riding through emptiness,
through the unreality of a dream. She
was oppressed and stifed. 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 chair,

Yellow Fever Germ.

Tho theory that mosquitoes convey
the disease known as yellow fever
is many years old. but It was not un-
til the year 1895 that It was proven
to be true. During that year Major
Ronald Ross, wording in India along
tho lines OF Sir Patrick Manson's the
ory. demonstrated that mosquitoes Of
the genus called anopheles clarifer
conveyed the disease. In 1928 ex-
periments in Cuba and other parts of
the world established similar con-
clusion. 1t is in consequence OF this
discovery that the dread disease Is
now being 30 largely checked in the
countries where 1t has hitherto been
so destructive of human life.
