SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year In Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly $40, 0OO, 900 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign In the
United States during the year 1912.
according to the fourth annual statis-
tical statement Of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item in the
total, amounting to nearly SIG, SOC, 900.
This is an increase Of nearly $5.000.-
900 over the same group Of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over $765, 900, while dis
p%ensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over $500, 600. Over $415 600
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment Of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which Is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose in 1911. Official, state and mu-
nicipal expenditures outside of the
maintenance of institutions, which
are included in the other totals,
amounted to $3.50, 600. In addition to
these figures, about 100000 was
spent by hospitals for insane and
penal institutions in caring for their
tuberculosis inmates.

CHAPTER VII.


During this time Mrs. Chedsoye, the
major. Messrs. Ryanne and Wallace,
officers and directors in the United
Romance and Adventure Company,
Ltd. sat in the majors room, round
the ~boudoir-stand which had tempo
rarily been given the dignity of a
table. The scene would not have been
without interest either to the specula-
tive physiognomist or to the dramat-
list. To each it would have represent
ed one of those astonishing moments
when the soul Of a person out
into the open, as one might express it,
incautiously, to be revealed in the ex-
pressions of the eyes and the mouth.
These four persons were about going
forward upon a s%ingularly desperate
and unusual enterprise. From now on
they were no longer to fence with one
another, to shift from this topic to
that, with the indirect maneuvers of
a house-cat intent upon the quest of
the Friday mackerel. The woman's
face was alive with eagerness; the
oldest man looked from n to the

George laughed. Ryanne grew
thoughtful over this sign. Percival
AIgernon did not seem exactly wor-
ried.
Aren't you a little afraid?"
II? Why should ] be-" inquired
George %innocently. Certainly. what
ever your Arab friends arguments
may be, moral or physical, I'm going
to keep that Yhiordes."
Was he bluffing? Ryanne wondered,
Did he really have nerve? Well,
within forty-eight hours there would
come a test.
Say, do you know, l rather wish
you'd been with me on that trip-that
is, IL you like a rough game" Ryanpe
said this in all sincerity. -
Il have never been in a rough game,
as you call It; but I've often had a
strong desire to be, just to find out for
myself what sort of a duffer l am"
Ryanne had met this sort Of man be-
fore; the fellow who wanted TO know
what stuff he was made of, and was
ready to risk his hide to find out. His
experience had taught him to expect
nothing of the nan who knew just
what he was going to do in a crisis.

said Ryanne, his eyes humorous. that
there is an organization in this world

What's that? What do you mean?"

concern which will, upon application

range any kind Of adventure you

and sat up. What sort of a jolly is
this?"
you put your finger upon the one
great obstacle. No one will believe
that such a nce exists. Yet 1t is
a fact. And why not?"
Because 1t wouldn't be real; 1t
