o'clock of an evening might often have

He was of medium height, of slight
figure, his face clean shaver and full
of wrinkles, set off by a head full of
long silvery hair. A pair of dark illn-
minating expressive eyes peered
through his speetacles. On entering
the tram he always looked out for a
seat near the lamp at the back of the
car and Invariably succeeded in obtain
ing it. Thereupon the old gentleman
would draw a newspaper from his
pocket, and soon be ~engrossed IN its

Because he had found the paper un-
der peculiar circumstances Asa Bas-
sett gave his closest attention to study
ing the marks that were traced upon
Its surface. It was a scrap of the
deep crimson paper upon which the
Chinese write their notes and which
serve as visiting cards for ceremonlous
calls.
In the middle of the paper was trac-
ed In india Ink three circles, one with
In the other. In the center Of the In
nermost circle was a dot of bright
yellow. That was all.
Bassett whistled softly as he turned
the paper around In his fingers. He
turned 1t over and looked at the back.
but there was nothing but the pinkish
white lining of the paper.
He had surprised his body servant.

comprador at the gate. The gate
keepers fingers had failed to grasp
the paper, and 1t had 1uttered to his
masters feet. Bassett had promptly
placed a foot upon 1t with an air of
superb Inconsistencies and immedi
ately afterward had sent both boy and
comprador upon an errand.
When they returned Bassett was still
standing In that Indifferent attitude
near the gate, and the boy had timidly
yentured to address him.

deep veranda of the bungalow.
"Very WE'LL" said Bassett coolly
turning on his heel. AS he left the
gate the comprador sprang forward
and scratched In the dust where his
master had been standing, but there was
nothing there save an English shilling
which he promptly dropped In his
sleeve. His little onyx black eyes sig
nailed the watchful Wah Loo that the
message had been lost.
It was long after midnight now and
Bassett was sitting in his bedroom

There bad been trouble among his

ere and a Live Snake.
Tommy Tucker lost a game for
Washington to Chicago once and start
ed a battle all because of a trick Bill
Dahlen and Bill Everett put up on him.
Tom never did like snakes Indeed.
he held them in adherence, and in
some way Dahlen discovered this.
Washington was to play Chicago that
afternoon. and during the morning
practice on the west side grounds Dab
len and Everett discovered a small
g~artersnake and treasured 1t up.
Along in the fourth inning Everett
cracked out a hit. and as soon rs he
landed on first base Dahlen. ignoring
his usual custom. ran out to coach, and
a moment later he slipped the harmless
little reptile to Everett, who dropped ii
into fuckers hip pocket.
Tommy discovered the snake just as
the pitcher was delivering the ball
and, with a yelp. he deserted first base.
The batter had hit to the shortstop,
who gathered up the ball on the run
and, started to throw to second. but
was too late and threw toward first.
Tommy was twenty feet Off the base,
jumping up and down and hunting for
something with which to kill that
snake. and the ball went to the stands
and Chicago scored four runs before
the inning ended.
Tucker protested wildly. but the uin

Bassett did so In brief. IF | could

bis fanatical wife and the crazy Chi
nese doctor the rest Of EN- would be-
have like lambs" he said in conclusion.
1.-THE comprador and his wife and the
doctor have seats In the front row at

said the Frenchman lightly. IF 1t is
your pleasure for me to argue with
them | will arrange that your troubles
will be at an end tomorrow morning"
"Can you do 1t without ~violence?"
asked Bassett in troubled tones.
"They will not suffer an instant at
my hands," was the ~Frenchman's reply
as he vanished from the room.
Bassett and Hall sat the night
through in silent company. Once in
awhile one or the other of them broke
the silence to comment IN the stiffness
of the place and to wonder how Jean
Lanier could carry out his difficult COM
mission. They had the utmost conf
dence in him. He was always success
full In his undertakings.
Just as the pale gray dawn was FL

nafisn that shook the house.

-,,v METHODIST CONFERENCE.

,7th ouadrenial session of the
!. III, .a.dist general conference is now in
a'' s1 IN Oklahoma City. One of
s'' uost important questions for con-
u .,...t;on before this body is the
S'sd.,bit University suit. By re-
'' :. decision of the Chancery court,
WY y. church looses the control of the
r W The joint address of the
, s Bishops was up to the usu2l
~. 4 standard of religious fervor and
'sr ovnressions. With reference to
!. ~, Vanderbilt situation the following
is said:
aTbe decree of the court leaves to
i. church a mere shadow of connec-
4on with the university which. in our
uiniou, does not justify the church in
any attempt to direct the affairs of
As institution or assume any res
,Opsibility for it. We do not pre-
s,me to dictate to you what course
YOU should pursue to repair the loss
vhrh has been inflicted on the church.
We venture to express the opinion
that our people will promptly supply
whatever means you may Judge neces-
sy to make up for the institution
which has been taken from the own
ership and control of the church"
The re is no doubt that the settle
ment of this question is a very serious
problem for the conference. We be-
live that the bishops and a large
majority of the membership of the
Church think the Courts decree is
very unjust but they bow to the au-
hority of the Court. We predict that
the final outcome will be that the
Church will withdraw from any Off
cial connection with the University
and will establish a great institution
Of learning which will be under the
entire control of the Church and the
title to which will be in the Church
exclusively.

Cholera being horne through water,
milk, flies or human carriers. can be
prevented only through cleanliness
and by maintaining the purity of wat
er-supplies. 1t is not today particu-
larly dangerous possibility as it can
enter Mexico only by way of the sea-
ports, most of which, in case of a cam
paign, would soon be in the hands of
the Navy and under a quarantine reg
ulations. Regarding typhus fever, it
is strange coincidence that the
work of Ricketts,, by which he demon
strated, at the loss of his own life.
that the bodylouse is the carrier of
this disease, was done at Mexico City,
where he went to carry on his investi-
cations on account of the prevalence
of typhus among the lower-class
MeXicans. This disease. which in past
centuries caused enormous loss of life
in camps and on shipboard, is limited
in its danger and can easily be pre-
vented by avoiding dirty dwellings,
and contact with dirty individuals.
There is as yet no known method
of prevention except the avoidance of
infection. 1t is probable that among
any large number of soldiers in Mexi-
co, a few cases of this disease will
develop.
Bubonic plague is ecdemic in many
of the nearby South American ports.
1t would probably be a constant dan
ger in the Mexican seaports. For
tunately it would be confined largely
to the seaports and large towns. An
army in the field, living in tents on
the bare ground, would be practically
safe from it. Probably one of the
first measures inaugurated by our
medical officers on taking possession
of Mexican seaport would be cam
paign of rat determination, as this
animal has been shown to be respon-
sible for plague propagation.
