That accusatory message must not
be answered. Undoubtedly upon it's
receipt at Manila an investigation
would be started which would open
with finding the source Of the original
charge. To obyiate this the wireless
must be put out of order, must be
wrecked SO thoroughly it would be i'm
possible to repair 1t until the Empress
was out Of the zone Of communication.
1t was u matter of hours before no
got his opportunity, the operator ieav-
ing his board and going to the saloon.
Hugo LoubeQue wasted not a second.
The sound Of the mans boots had not
ceased to sound before the box lay
open before the spy. His hands moved
like lightning. carrying out the plan
he had conceived as the safest and
most effective from the instructions Of
the operator. In and out his fingers
moved, loosening a screw here, a wire
there.

PROLOGUE.

In print, as on the moving pic
fure screen, "Lucille Love" is
a thrilling rapid fire story.
IT takes its heroine, young
woman of charm ana beauty,
into the strangest of situations.
There she braves the Perfls of
sea and land for the sake of her
love. As the situations unfold,
with the swiffness and ease of
the moving picture, the reader
finds himself following, as he
would the living movements of
the reel, the fortunes of Lucille,
her foe, Loubeque, the interna-
tional spy, amid scenes of ship
wreck and the wildness of no-
fure, on sea, among The islands
of the cannibals and elsewhere.
But Lucille and her arch foe
are not the only two in the pic
ture and story whose movements
are followed with the tribute of
intense interest. The old gem
erol, Lucille's father; her lover,
Lieutenant Gibson; the chief Of
the savages and Others all stand
out distinctly in the panorama
of picture and story.

The Work Of Spy.
7 f was swift; he was certain; he
was sure.
Family sweet the tanralzlng
u 4 perfume fingered in the room,
and the rustic of Lucille Loves skirts
seemed still to sound against the walls
Of the tiny room which General Stump
ter Love used as his private office; the
echo of Lieutenant Gibson's pleading
tones had not departed when the door
leading to the servants quarters moved.
A cautious fraction of an inch at q
time, q sound so faint that nothing
lived between it and silence succeeded
the departure of the generals aid and
the girl he loves. the girl he means to
marry. AS the buffers face framed
itself on the threshold the door was
opened that led to the ballroom, a
burst Of music vibrated there, then all
was silence. The butler closed the
door swiftly behind him and glided
across the floor, stopping before the
safe, his dexterous fingers manipulate
ing the knobs with careless certainty

place where he had put the packet.
An expression Of incredulous dismay
was upon his face as he drew out a
bundle of banknotes.

cried. Then with an expression Of re-

Objects to Milk Dissemination.

Dr. Ralph Vincent Of the Manches-
ter (England) Infants hospital says
that pasteurization cannot be relied
upon to kill tuberculosis bacilii and
claims that in his experience children
fed upon boiled or condensed milk
than those fed on raw milk. One Of
his arguments against sterilizing milk
is that we do not pasteurize butter, al
though it is a raw milk product. He
wants to prove that, although harm
full bacilli exist in raw milk they are
useful in destroying other harmful ba-
cilli in the liquid.

into his face, and in the clash of eyes

The international spy paced up and

threatened to overwhelm him.
The message in his eyes had been
clear. This girl knew that the papers

was his enemy, determined to go ap-
palling lengths to thwart him. just as
he must forget the instructive love he
had felt for her, this girl who came
