CHAPTER XXI.
Have Another Cigar.

"Well. William, what do you think OF
it ALP"
The two men had sat in silence fOl
quite a considerable time after Frederick
Power had marched out of the room. Col
Harris, buried in thought, was in no hurry
to talk things over. Sir Thomas Ryder
a very busy man-was the more impa-
tient Of the two.
81 must tell you," he said, seeing that
his brother-in-law seemed disinclined te
speak, that our man Travers, as soon as
Power had pointed Luke out to him. went
and rang the bell at Radclyffe's house.
and quickly enough established beyond a
doubt that the man who had just entered
II was Mr. Luke de Mountford. l tell you
this now SO as to disabuse your mind once
and for all in case you should imagine
that this might be case of mistaken
identity. Moreover, you yourself know
and have admitted to me that I-uke's In
tention was to seek out his uncle and his
cousin at the Veterans Club after he
parted from you at o'clock last night. :
YES" said Col. Harris. II know that
was not thinking of mistaken identity. .
'You." rejoined the other. were think
ing Of Luke, and so am 1. / have thought
little Of any one else since first the crime
was reported to me last night. And long
before TraVerS cleaned the outlines of the
story which Power has just amplfied FOR
us, I vaguely guessed at the broad lines
of it. Now that I know it in all its de-
tails, / can see the whole scene in the
Iobbx of the Veterans Club before me.
You may believe me or not as you like,
but as q matter Of fact. l know quite a
good deal about Luke de Mountford.
have often met him, Of course. and though
we have never been very intimate-for
am a busy man and have but little time
for intimacy with my fellow-men-I have
had many opportunities of studying him.
He has a very curious power OF self
control-almost an abnormal one / call It.
and a morbid hatred Of public scenes OF
scandal. This, Of course. he shares with
great many men of his class. and his
self-control is all the more remarkable
as he is not by any means the impressive
young man about town which he pretends
to be- Well that same power. | suppose,
stood him in good stead in the lobby Of
the Veterans Club. In Powers pictur-
esaue parlance, there was murder in his
eye of course, he had been provoked
beyond the bounds of endurance, and IL
he had rushed at Philip de Mountford
and strangled him then aud there. no one
would have been astonisl1ed. ] should

thought it was about to choke him. The
color fled from his cheeks and the cigar
dropped from between nerveless fingers.
Swift as lightning a recollection came
| back to him-a vision of Luke entering
| the sitting room of the Langllam Hotel
with his coat on and his hat and stick in
| the left hand.
But he would not give i'm even now-not
on such paltry surmises. Any number OF
men he knew carried sticks that contained
weapons of self defense. He himself pos
sessed very MISUNDERSTANDING sword
stick which he had once bought in Paris.
He fought down this Oncoming attack OF
weakness and blamed himself severely
Louisa and to Luke. He stopped and
picked his cigar up and looked his brother
in-law boldly in the face.
'I wouldn't he said, swear either
way, whether Luke had his stick with
him last night or not. I know that stick,
Of course. 1 have got one very like 1t
myself"
$50 have t. rejoined Sir Thomas, with
his placid smile.
And if that's one of the proofs on
which you are going to accuse my future
SOn-in-law Of having committed murder,
then all can say is, Tom, that you and
] are seeing the last of one another to-
day.
But Sir Thomas took this threat. as he
had taken Col. Harris undisguised ex-
pressions of contempt. with perfect equa-
nimity.
"If." he said. quietly, II did accuse
Luke de Mountford or any other man OF
murder on such paltry grounds as that.
Will, you would be perfectly justified in
turning your back on me, IL for no other
reason than that should then be an in
competent ass"
"Well. what more is there them
"Only this, Will. That the stick which
you have so often seen in Luke de Mount
ford's hand was found this morning in
side the ratings of Green Park; it bears
unmistakable signs of the use to which it
was put last night
You mean-that it was stained"

work of various state boards of health
Is to be effective they must have repre-
sentatives in every locality. This fact
Is recognized in the Massachusetts health
laws, by which the state is divided into
districts and each district placed under
representative of the state board OF
health. In Pennsylvania the state has a
representative in practically every coun-
ty. Each township is required to have
board of health. If this requirement is
neglected the state is authorized to send
representative, who acts as health Of
1cer until the board is created. The
pennsylvania law requires that all in
corporated municipalities and townships
having population of 200 to the square
mile shall have local board of health.
So
The control of local health authorities
by the state is accomplished in many
states by the APP
Pennsylvania Has pointment of a

local boards of health by the state board
of health, one of the members appointed
by the state board of health to
serve as the local health officer.
The present law in Virginia makes
each local board consist of four members,
board of health. In South Dakota and
West Virginia the provisions are largely
the same. In Oklahoma, Vermont and
Wyoming the state board of health ap-
points the local health officers.
1t is said that, after all, the physician
is the determining factor in this prob
lem of gathering vital statistics. 1t has
been found that in the past great
many physicians have been remise in re-
porting deaths and births. 1t is now
serted that unless they wish to lay them
selves, open to the criticism of being less
interested in the prevention of disease
than in the making of doctors bills they
must espouse the cause of preventive
medicine and give to the health authori-
ties the data needed to make effective
any anti-diSease crusade.
Pennsylvania leads all the states in
the number of diseases which are made
reportable under state laws. 1t has a
list Of thirty-three different diseases, the
appearance of which must be reported
to the local health officers. Two or three
of the states report no diseases what
ever.
