Once in a while an amateur thes-
plan will see his opportunity, get a
firm grasp on the situations and a
complete understanding of the de-
mands of his part; and when that
happens you have an amateur theat
rical production very much out of the
ordinary-so much so, in fact, that if
YOU can forget that YOU are person
ally acquainted with him it is not diff
ficult to imagine that you are being
entertained by a professional who is
decidedly ION the job
Which is just what Frank Taylor

such money as he could on the house
and go back to Staten Island or take
Jane and go away. He had not de-
cided definitely on that. They were
expecting Dick that afternoon and he
intended to talk it over with them.
The vital spark of ambition had
burned itself very low for Reynolds.
he was In that languid state OF both
body and mind that accompanies con-
Valescence, whether the recovery be
from physical or mental suffering. He
felt that he had fallen from some
great pinnacle like the lover who is
suddenly bereft of mate or who is con-
fronted with the realization that a
great passion Is unrequited. The re-
generation of James womanly affection
Gained and soothed him, but 1t aroused
In him no ambition to renew the bat
tie in which he had fallen.
Shortly after luncheon Dick came
and Jane received him with the Joy

couragement and his cheerful way Of
rendering 1t in those terrible days fol-
lowing Bob's downfall had raised her
from the depths completely and she
had come to regard his presence and
his promises as the salvation of both
her husband and herself.
But today Dicks optimism seemed
strangely dormant. His response to
her glad greeting was half-hearted and
when she enthusiastically preached
the plans that the reporter himself
had suggested. he made no reply. He
made solicitous inquiries after Bob's
health and persisted in them, alternate
ly pacing the floor and sitting, clutch
ing now and then at a newspaper in
his pocket.
His nervousness and distraction puz-
zled Jane, but for once her womanly
intuition failed her In her eagerness
to restore her husband to the plane
OF her own renewed hopefulness she
tried to force their visitor into q con-
versation about the bungalow and
their future there, until Dick, unable
to contain himself longer, wheeled and
faced them. He jerked the paper from
his pocket, concealing the front of it
toward his chest

asked breathlessly. Able to hear any
thing say and act quickly?"
Reynolds, who had watched his
friend closely from the moment of his
entrance, had detected what Jane had

no good. He read the import Of
Meade's constant questioning about
his strength and braced himself ac-
cordingly. He was prepared for almost
anything-anything except the dire
news that the reporter had actually
brought. The distress and alarm In
Meades features as he stood facing
them should have fitted Reynolds for
the worst

Maryland AS Healthy Area.
The State and Federal live stock au-
thorities have broken the foot and
mouth quarantine on Maryland. This
does not mean that the quarantine has
been raised from over the entire
State, but only that live stock may be
shipped under regulations from the
counties on which the embargo has
been lifted
The raising of the embargo has the
effect. however, of rating large part
of Maryland as healthy area and in
position to send out stock for inter-
state shipments. Likewise it will per
NIT Baltimore butchers to receive
Maryland meat at the Union Stock
yards for immediate slaughter.
The authorities have not yet raised
the embargo on hunting with dogs in
the quarantined counties.
While the general foot and mouth
situation has improved to the extent
possible to enable the easing of the
quarantine. another bad outbreak has
appeared in Carroll county above
Westminster.
Seven counties of the State are in
cluded in the order lifting the local
quarantine embargo They are
Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's in
Southern Maryland and Wicomico,
Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset
on the Eastern Shore. Throughout the
local foot and mouth epidemic no
cases of the disease developed in any
of those counties, but they were quar-
antined because they bordered on
counties in which outbreaks had oc-
Cured
The live stock officials now believe
that any possibility of the disease
having spread to those sections is past
and that safeguard has been estab-
lished against spread of the germ.
1t was to bring about this result that
the Governor issued several weeks ago
his proclamation forbidding the run
ming at large of dogs even in non-in-
fected counties, but which bordered
on infected sections.
While the situation in both West
ern Maryland and on the Eastern
Shore is now regarded as entirely
satisfactory, all diseased stock having
been slaughtered, Hart B. Noll and
President Harry B. Skipper, members
of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board, have returned to those re-
spective sections to inspect the work
of disinfection, which has been going
on under the Federal authorities.
While live stock can now be moved
from the officially healthy counties
the animals must be shipped in sealed
cars and every precaution has been en-.
forced in the past when stock was
shipped into Maryland from out of the
