Des Moines. Sep: 21-Blanks for
taking a tuberculosis census in Iowa
will be sent out To ministers Of the
state this week by Prof A. E. Kepford
STATE Etubetculosis lecturer. The data
Is 10 be co0ected in Eeaember and the
results. th state official says, will be
valuable for Tuberculosis day. Nov. 90?
The taking of the census is in CO.
operation with the National Associa-
ton for the Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis. The ministers are asked TO supply
the information wanted, as the church
is interested in the white plague prob
lem.
Professor Kepford asserts that al
though the fight against the disease is
difficult owing TO its social entrench-
ments. the caTnpaigners are gaining
ground. This, he says. is disclosed by
the fact that in 1900 there were SO
deaths from all forms of tuberculosis
TO each 100000 population in the state.
In the year 1913 the death rate had
been reduced to 81 TO every 100000.

AS il from the path Of some grisly
visitant from the world beyond the
grave, the throng pressed back and
cleared a way for Seneca Trine, IA
ther of the bride.
And as the way opened and he
looked up toward the altar and saw
Alan standing hand in hand with
Rose while the minister invoked a
blessing upon the union that had been
but that instant cemented. added
strength. the strength of the insane,
was given to Seneca Trine.
When Alan, annoyed by the dis
turbance in the body of the chapel,
looked round it was to see the aged
maniac standing within dozen feet
OF him: and MS he looked and cried
out in wonder, Trine whipped re-
volver from the pocket of his dressing
gown and swung it steadily to bear
upon Alan's head.
At that instant the storm broke
with, internal fury upon the land.
A crash Of thunder so heavy and
prolonged that 1t seemed to rock the
very building upon its foundations,
accompanied the shattering OF huge
stained-glass window.
A bolt OF blush fame of dazzling
brilliance slashed through the window
like a flaming sword and smote the
pistol in the hand OF Seneca Trine,
discharging the weapon even as It
struck him dead.
AS he fell the bolt swerved and
struck two others down-Alan Law
and the woman who had just been

Toward the evening of the third
day following the motor spill. Judith
sat in the deeply recessed window OF

a hotel situated~in the heart Of Cali.
fornia's orange-growing lands.
Behind her Seneca Trine sat, ap-
parently asleep. in q wheeled invalid
chair.
There was no occupant Of the room.
Though he had lain nearly two
days in coma. her fathers subsequent
progress toward recovery Of his nor
NAL state had been rapid. Now. &C.
cording to q council of surgeons and
physicians who had been summoned
to deliberate ON his case. he was In
a fair way to round out the average
span Of sound mans lifetime. He
had apparently suffered nothing In
consequence of his accident more
serious than prolonged unconscious
ness. For the last twenty-four hours
he had been in full possession OF his
faculties and (for some reason impos-
sible to Judith to fathom) uncom-
monty cheerful.
From this circumstance she drew
a certain sense of mystified anxiety.
Twice in the course of the morning
she had caught his eye following her

to his bedside and stood looking down

And while she looked Alan's lasheS

"Be kind to her, Alan" she said in
an uncertain voice: she didn't under
stand and-and goaded her beyond
endurance, I'm afraid. Forgive me-
but be kind to her always!"
Somehow, blindly. she stumbled out
of the cabin into tho open, possessed
by a thought whose temptation was
stronger than her powers of resist
ance. What Rose had failed to ac-
complish might now serve to resolve
Judith's problem. /. None, she told
herself. bitterly. would seek to hinder
her. But she meant so to arrange the
matter that none should see or sus-
pect and be moved to interfere.
Round the shoulder of the noun
tain, on the road along the edge of the
cliff, she was sure Of freedom from
observation.
And yet, such is the Inconsistency
of the human animal, the instinct for
self.preservation was stronger than
her purpose: when touring car swung
round the mountain and shot toward
her. she checked herself hastily and
Jumped aside in ample time to escape
being run down.
The next instant the machine was
lurching to halt and the scnorous
accents OF Seneca Trine were saluting
her:
Judith! You here! What the devil!
Whereve ye been? Where are Marro-
phat and Jimmy?"
Digging the nails of her fingers pain
fully into her palms. she breathed
deep. fighting down hysteria. reassert-
ing her self.control in so short space
Of time that her father failed to ap-
preciate that there was anything un-
common in the mind of the girl.
"Where?' he demanded angrily as
she approached the car. where. 1

thing of them? They left me at six
O'Clock this morning, to 60 after"
"Dead:" the girl interrupted. sen.

Il don't believe it," the old man
screamed, aghast. Il won't believe it.

They followed US all morning in that

and herself. Judith. Under such cir
cumstances he simply could not have
set new conspiracy afoot.
And yet She was oppressed
by a great uneasiness.
Perhaps (she reasoned) the wealth
er was responsible for this feeling, in
some measure at least. The day had
been unconscionably hot, a day with
out breath of air. Now, as 1t drew
toward it's close, its heat seemed to be-
come more and more oppressive even
as its light was darkened by a por-
tentous phenomenon-a vast pail Of
inky cloud shouldering up over the
mountains to the music of distant rum
blings
Nor was this all; considerable de-
gree of restlessness was surely par
Lonabe in one who. from her window,
watched carriage-drive populous
with vehicles (for the most part mo-
tor cars) bringing to the hotel gayly
through her lovers protestations;
Judith lost in profoundest melancholy;
Urine nursing his rage, working him
self up into silent fury whose conse.
Quences were to be more far-reaching
than even he dreamed in his widest
moments.
Its first development, for all that,
was desperate enough.
The aged monomaniac occupied the
right-hand corner of the rear seat;
Thus his one able hand was next to,

revolver in the holster on her hip.
Without the least warning his left
hand closed upon the weapon. with

Alan's head.
AS he pulled the trigger Judith flung
herself bodily upon the arm.
Even so, the bullet found goal.
though in another than the intended
victim. The muscular forearm OF the
chauffeur received 1t.
With shrek Of pain the man re-.
leased the wheel and grasped his
arm.
Before Alan could move to prevent.
the disaster the car, running without
q guiding hand, caromed of q low
embankment to the left and shot full:
tilt into a shallow ditch on the right,
sheling its passengers like peas from;
q broken pod.
Alan catapulted good twenty feet
through the air and alighted with
such force that he lay stunned for,
several moments. II
When he came to. he found Barcus
helping him to his feet; a heavy sew.
