CHAPTER X.
Good Samaritans.

Since she had undertaken to show
Wahaska precisely how to deport IT.
self in the conventional field, Miss
Grierson had telegraphed her father
TO meet her in st. Louis on her return
from Florida.
When Jasper Grierson travelled alone
he was democratic enough to be salts
fed with a section in the body of the
car. But when Margery's tastes were
to be consulted, the drawing-room was
none too good. Indeed. as it transpired
on the journey northward from St
Louis, the Anita's drawing-room
proved to be not good enough.
at is simply a crude insult, the
way they wear out their old. broken
down cars on us up here!" she pro-
tested to her father. You ought to
do something about it,"
Jasper Grierson's smile was a CAPT.
talistic requirement, and some of his
fellow-townsmen described ii as cast
iron" But for his daugh.er it was
always indulgent.
Il don't own the railroad yet,
Madgie; you'll have to give me little
more time" he pleaded. clipping the
tip from a black cigar of heroic pro-
portions and reaching for the box of
safety matches.
III begin now, IL you are going to
smoke that dreadful thing in this
stuffy' little den," was the unfilial re-
tort; and the daughter found a maya
zine and exchanged the drawing.room
with it's threat OF asphyxiation for a
seat in the body of the car. Halfway
down the car one of the sections was
still curtained and bulkheaded; of
! course. the occupant of the middle
section must be i'll. Quite suddenly
her interest became acute. Who was
the sick one. and why was he, or she
travelling without on attendant?
With Margery Grierson, to question
was to ascertain; and the Pullman
conductor, once more checking his dia
grams in Section IL, offered the readi
est means of enlightenment. A few
minutes later Margery rejoined heI
J father in the private compartment.
DO you remember the nice-lookinf
young man who sat at the table with
us in the Choteau last night?" she
began abruptly.
The gray-wolf Jasper nodded. III,
had an excellent memory for faces.
What did you think of him?" Tn,
query followed the nod like a nimbl,
boxers return blow.
Il thought he paid whole lot NOR,
attention to you than he did to hi
supper. Why?"
"He is on this car; sick with a feve
of some kind. and out of his head. HI
is going to Wahaska."
How do you know it's the sam
one?"
81 made the conductor take me &
see him. He talked to me in Italian
and called me 'Carlotta mia"
"Bumphl he didn't look like dago.
"fis isn't; it's Just because he l
delirious."
There was a long pause, broke
finally by a curt "well?" from tn
father.
i've been thinking" was the sio'
response -of course. there ID

ANOTHER "GHOSTLY"
VIEW OF BODIE

the writer of the following got his
own local color" and observed con
ditions in Bodie for himself. The
writer mentioned in various articles
the customs that prevailed in all bor-
der camps before society became sta
Bile, but he was not hunting for ro-
nance tinged by blood alone. The
halo that makes permanent the his
tory of the camps described as Ghost
Cities" does not arise from the sordld
tales of vice and depravity which Van
Loan attempts to gild, but does hold
interest by the stories of accomplish
ment and toll of the hardy pioneers
who made possible the development of
this great western empire. 1t is the
simple story of the men who laid
foundations for the great institutions

JUST A PLAIN TALK
By c. II. Masterson. Dentist

By c. H. Masterson, Dentist
The first thing | shall speak about
is Pyorrhea Riggs DISEASED as it
seems to be the one disease that con
Germs the public as we'll as the dental
profession at the present time.
The usual questions dentist has to
answer are: Doctor, what causes my
gums to bleed when | touch them
What causes the lime to form on my
teeth? Why do | have bad taste in
my mouth? Why are my teeth so
loose at times that they feel as though
they were about to fall out?'
My usual answer is: "Carelessness
in the care of your mouth by allowing
an unclean condition to exist there"
| say unclean because | mean it. Many
week and others two or three times
year-but they never think of brush
ing their teeth and gums. If they
did clean their mouths they might
get rid of their pet germs, the princi
pal ones being the amoebia These
germs being the direct cause OF pyorr-
hea, or their trouble.
Another thing | want to mention
is the fact that people most invari-
ably blame the dentist for their filling
falling out or their crowns and bridge
work not giving satisfaction. The
cause is carelessness on your part by
not keeping them clean.
Most dentists of the prenent time
are good theoretical ard practical
men, And you will soon become con
WINGED of this fact if you follow their
instruction.
| wish to state that | have recently
returned from a meeting of the Pana
ma-Pacific Dental Congress at San
Francisco, where | attended lectures
and discussions on the treatment of
pyorrhea, conductive anaesthesia and
many other subjects of equal import
ance by the leading dentists of nine
teen different countries | am now
better qualified to serve you and |
am equipped with all the latest appli-
ances for the treatment of my patients.
Without any apologies for this plain
talk | am yours for good, conscienti-
Gus, modern and up to the minute

emption from all these trials and trib-
ulations. True, | must admit, that
the honest miners OF Bodie spent
great deal of their leisure time in read

only a clever device to fortify them
selves against the insidious ap-
proaches of the enemy.

Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.

Most Rapid Photographic Ever Taken.
The most remarkable set Of speed
photographs ever taken are a part OF
the war departments exhibit In Ma
chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures OF q shell from ~
inch coast defense gun in flight, the
set including the various phases OF
the flight beginning Just as the great
projectile pokes its nose out OF the
muzzle OF the gun.
The pictures were taken with q
lens having an exposure period Of
one five-thousandth Of q second. this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
tactured. The exposure at the proper
time in the flight Of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir
cult In . wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
way out Of the muzsle before any
smoke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was two
feet from the muzzle but hidden by q
heavy ring Of smoke. A third shows
the shell in, flight Q hundred feet from
the muzzle The photographs are so
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur Is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Monroe. Va. un-
der the direction Of Capt. F. J.
Behl OF the coast artillery corps and
head OF the department Of enlisted
specialists at the Coast Artillery
school at Fortress Monroe.
