lie called the dover of his lords and
ladies 10 visit him in graat cas-
tel!ated palace. There, with ample
provisions. ne shut himself md his
guests In with welded iron bsrs.
The Prince held a great masqued
bali and revei. Poe describes the
establishment Of the seven chambers
in which the reve was held and the
costumes of the masqueraders with
the most ingenious word-paintiug he
employs In any of his writings.
10 and fro in the seven chambers
there stalked multitude Of dreams.
They took their hues from the weird
ly-colored rooms and danced with Tne
other dancers. But among the
dreams there was one who was not
invited and who was not at first per-
ceivcd.
THE figure was tall and gaune.
and shrouded from head to foot in
the habiiments OF the grave" says
the story. THE mask which concealed
the yisagc was made so nearly to
resemble the countenance OF O.
stiffened corpse that the closest
scrutiny must have had difficulty in
detecting the cheat. And yet all this
might have been endured, if not ap-
proved, by the mad jewellers around,
But the hummer had gone so far as
TO assume the type of the Red Death.
His vesture was dabbled in blood
and his broad brow, with all the fea-
lures of the face, was besprinkled
with the scarlet horror"

attack him:
He bore aloft a drawn dagger,
and had approached. in rapid I'M.

feet Of the retreating figure, when
the latter, having attained the ex-
tremity Of the velvet apartment.
turned suddenly and confronted his
pursuer. There was n sharp cry
and the dagger dropped cleaning
upon the sable carpet, upon which.
Instantly afterward, fell prOstrate in
death the Prince Prospero. Then,
summoning the wild courage of de-
spair, Il throng of the revelers Mt once
threw themselves into the black
apartment, md, selling the hummer,
whose tall figure stood erect and mo-
tionleSS within the shadow of the
ebony clock, gasped in unutterable
horror Mt finding the grave cerements
ana corpSelike mask which they
handled with SO violent rudeness
untenanted by any tangible form.
And now was acknowledged the
presence of the Red Death. He had
come like Il thief In the night. And
one BY one dropped the jewellers iR
the blood-bcdewed halls of their revel.
and died each in the despairng
posture OF his fall. And the life OF

1.-The smallpox patient is always Il
source OF possible contagion from the
first appearance OF the eruption to
the completion of desquamation. Ii IS
doubtful whether he gives off the
infection before the appearance of
papules. but In one instance the dis
ease was communicated by CRAFTS Of
skin taken from a person who de
yeloped the disease a few hours later
The contagion exists in the cu-
tancous LESSONS and doubtless In the
blood and secrctions. 1t Is given off
in the eXhalations from the lungs
and skin. but 1t is nowhere more
virucnt. perhaps. than In the crusts,
which, are believed to be frequent
source of Infection
The guests at the ball did not drop
dead ut the dance, as in Poe's
"Masque OF the Red Death" Greater
mental anguish was reserved for
them. They waited for days in
terror TO find out whether the terri
bic disease would attack them or not.
The average period OF incubation.
from the time Of infection 10 the
outbreak of the disease, is twelve
days. 1t may be as short as seven
days or as long as fifteen; rarely
longer. When the disease is actually
inoculated into the blood it may de-
vclop in as short time ms forty
eight hours. There Is, therefore, very
great uncertainty as to It's appear
8nce.
The first guest of the ball to de-
velop the disease was John Wheeler
He had done nothing more than
shake hands with Barrett and
breathe the same air with him. This
was convincing proof how freely the
contagion had been scattered.
Within another day Margaret Pres
ton. one of the pretticst girls at the
ball, was stricken down. She had
danced with Barrett great deal.
A day later another girl, Lucy
Mason, was added to the list of vic
Tins. 1t Is known that there are
other sufferers and 1t is impossible
TO say how far the harm caused by
this grewsome dance may spread or
how fatal the consequences may be.
The authorities Of the State finally
became aware OF the grave danger
that had been caused to the public
health. DR.. c. W. G.. Rohrer. head
of the State Bureau Of Communica-
BILE Diseases, notified the Baltimore
County Commissioners take action
promptly to check the spread of the
disease. The notification warned the
commissioners that unless they took
satisfactory measures within two
days the State Board of Health
would assume control Of the situa.
