BAN PLACED ON
DAIRY CATTLE
GOVERNOR DUNE OF ILLINOIS
REQUIRES INSPECTION OF ALL
FROM ELEVEN STATES IN
GLIDING SOUTH DAKOTA.

Springfield, S. D.-Illinois has put
up the bars against dairy cattle from
nineteen specific states. The action
follows the emphatic demand from
the state live stock commission that
none but COWS, certified as free from
bovine tuberculosis shall be per-
mitted to the state border, com
ing from the states under suspicion.
Gov. Dunno prepared his prohibit
tory proclamation on advice of the
live stock board.
States that Feel Blow.
The states ruled against, as sci
out in the executive proclamatiD.,
are:
New York Wisconsin
Pennsylvania Minnesota
Virginia Iowa
West Virginia Missouri
Kentucky Arkansas
Tennessee Oklahoma
Ohio North Dakota
Indiana South Dakota
Michigan Montana
Texas
Gov. Dunno said investigation
made through the live stock commits
sion has demonstrated that serious
conditions Ne existing, particularly
in the vicinity of Chicago, necessitat-
ing the extreme measures taken bv
the issuance of the executive procla-
nation.
The proclamation puts up no bars
against cattle shipped into the state
or immediate slaughter, but run
only against cattle imported for
dairy purposes.
Find Bovine Tuberculosis.
The understanding is that the it,
vestigation has shown unusual prev
alence of bovine tuberculosis in the
states specified in the proclamation,
aud that the condition of affairs
thoroughly justified the embargo
which has been raised by Illinois
against it's sister states.
1t is claimed in Springfield thaI
officers and members of the state
dairymen's organization have had
nothing to do with causing Gov
Dunno to take extreme action, but
the impression is permitted to pre-
vail in official circles that it is the
result entirely of investigation made
by the live stock commission and TO-
the benefit of the public health.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Dark of poyera Street.


At one o'clock that day, Evelyn
Grayson Joined me at luncheon at
Sherry's. She had been in no mood
to walt any longer than was absolutely
necessary for tidings Of my visit to
DIR. Addison; and, moreover,> she had
news of her own which she was
anxious to convey to me.
l have often wondered why it Ia
that the I-t%old-you-so passion is inner.
ent In all women There are those
who manage to control it with ad.
mirable success under average circum.
stances, but SOONER or later, even the
most courageous battlers against this
maternal heritage succumb, and In.
dulge in a sort of disguised orgy OF
%reproach.
Evelyn might have told me, for in.
stance, that Captain Macleod, after
careful investigation, had been unable
to discover either hair or hide of Pc.
ter Johnson in Gloucester or else.
where, and stopped there. That ia
what a man would have done. But,
altogether admirable though she was,
the eternal feminine was strong with.
in her. Therefore it was incumbent
upon her to add:
1T doesn't surprise me, Philip.
When o told me how you picked
that mar up, l was confident that he
was floating out there in your path
just for that very purpose"
l had no inclination to dispute the
point with her. That was the most
painful part Of it. I knew that she
was right-that in putting Peter John.
son ashore, instead Of in irons, l had
committed an error that might prove
1rremediable. But why couldn't she
see that I realized it, and was smart
ing under my own condemnation, and
SO have spared me this added torture
OF hers? Why? Because she was her
mothers daughter. That Is the only
answer.
Is for my interview with "Pythias"
Addison, we discussed it in all it's
phases, without reaching anything
like a definite conclusion. Taking ev..
erything into consideration the evil
dence certainly seemed convincing
that Cameron. in spite of his denials.
had been in China in 1903. And yet
we could not reconcile this with that
almost fanatical love Of truth which
we knew to be his.
Couldn't DR.. Addison have been
mistaken?" Evelyn asked.

like cakes. I saw now that the space
upon which I had fallen was so re-
stricted that l wondered how it was
possible for my quarry to have reach
ed the steps and reascended without
touching me or at least a%cquainting
ME with his movement. And | mar
veled, too, that twisting my ankle as l
did, I had not plunged at a slant and
struck my head upon II or another
of the crowding tables and boxes with
which the cramped basement was fur.

My third match disclosed a narrow
door in the broad partition at the rear,

means while was getting to my feet,

what was beyond. was somewhat sur

more crowded room, warm and fetid

ed peanuts, arranged about a low
stove or which a peanut-filled caui
dron was slowly steaming.
Curiously interesting as all this
would have been under ordinary cir
cumstances, l experienced only a sur
prised relief, for With my injured an
kle [ was in no fettle to cope with
even the weakest adversary. Indeed
now that this easement was afforded
me-, my sprain suddenly asserted itself
with renewed eX%acerbation, SHARP
twinges of pain shooting to my knee
and demanding instant relief.
In front of the low stove | had no
ticed a stool, and for this I CROPPED
with the eagerness of the drowning
man after a straw. To my JOY | laiG
hands upon it, and drawing it nearer
sank down with a sigh Of qualification
comparable only to that with which g
Marathon victor drops to earth after
a hotly-contested race.
Gradually, now that my weight was
removed, the pain %lessened. and 6
n of comfort ensued. Content
ment enfolded me, which, if l thought
Of it at all, attributed, suppose, tt
the reaction from the agony which
had just been suffering. l remember
thinking that l would rest a few min
utes and then take my departure as
had entered, for I realized that cellar
doors are fastened only from within
and that there could, therefore, be nc
impeachment to my going when chose
l distinctly recall that l was con
scious Of a certain strange %incongruity
of situation, but could hardly ccmpre
bend in just what the ~incongrlity con
sisted. | knew only that | felt pleas
antly warm and drowsy; and my
sprained ankle had ceased altogether
to pain Or annoy.
And then, I was sailing in an open
boat in m%idocean, and Peter Johnson
in oilshins, sat at the helm, With q
saturniEe leer on his face, and - gee
at brief intervals, always longer and
stronger, upon what seemed to be tht
sheet, which had become wrapped
around my throat and chest and which
by degrees, was crushing my windpipt
and lungs, so that my breath came
only in sharp, Fuddering, aching
sasps.

were missed by both of us. I was still
thinking of Cameron as in England or
on the European continent, when 10
and behold, | saw him n morning,
hurrying along the principal street of
the inner city of Picking. 1 don't
know whether you have ever been
there or not, but if you have, you
know what that thoroughfare is. It
was all hustle and activity that day,
and about as crowded as Broadway at
the noon hour, but with much more
picturesque and contrasting currents
OF individuals and vehicles. l was
in a carriage, myself, and Cameron
was afoot, walking in the opposite
direction. AS we passed each other,
he did not seem to see me, though I
called to him loudly. This, however,
did not surprise me, for there was an
ungodly racket in progress. Instantly,
had the carriage turned about, but
before l could overtake him, he was
lost in the crowd. I was leaving Pc.
king that afternoon, and so had no
chance to look him up. l wrote him
afterwards and told him Of the Incl
dent, and how l regretted having to
go away without exchanging at least
a word with him. To mys amazement
he not only denied having been in
Picking, but in the Chinese empire at
all. When we met in London, the fol.
lowing spring, and 1 recalled the mat.
ter, asking why he had refused to
admit what l knew to be the truth,
he became Jelly indignant; and that
was the beginning of the end. If l
had conceded the possibility of mis-.
take on my part, all might have been
We'll, suppose; but there was no such
possibility. I had known Cameron for
tWenty-odd years, and I could not have
mad an error. l had seen him dis.
tinctly, clearly, at midday in the open.
1t was he beyond all peradventure,
n from that time to this l have been
unable to conceive why he lied to me
and why he chose to end our friend.
ship rather than admit what was in.
dubitable fact"
His explanation finished, he reached
for a pen, and, as he dipped it in the
ink, he added:
II trust you will pardon me, Mr..
Clyde. l have detained you"
You have interested me-" assured
him. "And that more than I can tell
you" Which was quite true; yet l
was even more perplexed than inter.
ested. To the maze of circumstances
there was now added another battling
feature.
DR.. Addison handed me the prescrip.
tion he had written.
AFTER meals, and at bedtime" he
directed, with a return to his profes.
sional manner. eff you do not find
yourself much better at the end OF
a week, come in again."
On the sidewalk l tore the little
square Of paper into bits which the
wind carried in a tiny furry across
Madison avenue.
