REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
sanatorlum Where the Tuberculosis
May Be Cured lo Worth Much to
Any State or City.

Or. H.. T. Barnes, superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State sanatorium
has recently demonstrated by some in
tereHting studies Of patients discharg-
ed 10 apparently cured" from that "a.
stitttion, that a sa~natorium Is q sound
Investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings Of 10 ~ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to S1O2, 752.
and those Of 211 cases In 1912 to S112.-
OIL BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients Of the sana
forum living In 1911 and 1912, DR..
Barnes concludes that their income IN
these two years was 1851, 900. This
sum is more than three times the cost
Of maintenance OF the ~sanatorium IN
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the
original Investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good Investments,
there IS good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation OF far adj
vanced cases would be still better In
veatments."

inches came up first, those at six
inches second, while the rows planted
at eight inches came up last. There
was a difference Of about two days be-

four inches grew fastest and produced
somewhat stockier vines. The deep
eat planting was not quite as good a
stand, although the difference was not
very great.
EXACTLY the same treatment as to
culdyating, spraying, ETC., was given
to all the rows. No weeds were al
lowed to grow, and the beetles were
killed before they did any material
damage. The crop was dug the latter
part Of September, with the following
results; The potatoes planted four
inches deep yielded at the rate Of
40 bushels per acre; the six-inch
depth yielded at the rate OF 12l bush

From this It would seem that six
inches would be the maximum depth
at which to plant potatoes.

derstood this at once from the doc

rebuff, he proceeded to supplement
his request with a few added argu-
ments, urged with such unexpected
address and show of reason that DR..
Fenton's aspect visibly softened and
in the end he found himself ready to
promise that he would do what he
could to secure his visitor the inter-
view he desired II he would come TO
the house the next day at the time
of his own morning visit.
This was as much as the young
detective could expect, and having ex-
pressed his thanks, he took his leave

elaPse between that happy hour and
the present, he would circulate and

himself as he left her. He's a more
fortunate man than he knows, how
ever deeply he may feel the loss of
his first sweetheart"
That evening the disappointed
Sweetwater took the train for New
York. He had failed to advance the
case in hand one whit, yet the counte-
nance he showed Mr.. Gryce at their
first interview was not a wholly
gloomy one.

Sweetwater complied; and such is
the Inconsistencies with which we
often encounter the pivotal circum-
stance upon which our future or the
future OF our most cherished under

story the sole discovery which was OF
any real importance in the unraveling
OF the mystery in which they were so
deeply concerned. He said nothing
of his walk in the woods or of what

In the comfortable little sitting
room of the Scott cottage Doris stood,
looking eagerly from the window
which gave upon the road. Behind
her, on the other side of the room,
could be seen through a partly opened
door, a neatly spread bed, with a hand
lying quietly on the patched coverlid.
Several weeks had passed since the
departure of Sweetwater and the in
valid was fast gaining strength. To
morrow, he would be up.
Was Doris thinking of him? I'm
doubtedly, for her eyes often flashed
his way; but her main attention was
fixed upon the road, though no one
was in sight at the moment. Some
one had passed for whose return she

caught a glimpse of his face. Edith's

town. She had not closed the door;
something within-a hope or a dread
had prevented that. Would he take

no; she was not ready for such an
encounter yet. He might speak Edith's
name; Oswald might hear and-with
a gasp she recognized the closeness of
his step; heard it lag, almost halt
just where the path to the house ran
into the roadside. But 1t passed on.
