public health service for instance
The work that the physicians OF this
service do for the people OF the United
States is conscientious, energetic, and
widespread in its influence for good
Physicians, like many other profess
slonal men, are not given to talking
about their deeds. The public health
service lies within the control of the
treasury department and it is one Of
the works over which in an official
way Mr. Newton must exercise super
vision. He knew that the country
ought to know something Of the work
of the governments physicians in or
der that the people might profit the
more directly therefrom.
1t was this assistant secretary of the
treasury who suggested a course of
proper publicity for the work that
was being done by Uncle Sans de-
voted doctors. Largely through his eff
forts the people today not only know
Of the means that are taken to safe
guard their health but they know how,
when and where to get the additional
information which they need to help
them safeguard themselves. More
than this the interested people have
found that they can be Of assistance
to the public health service by giving
information concerning the necessi-
ties there.
The government officials do not like
the use of the word publicity. "Infor-
nation" Is the word which in their
eyes is proper and 1t is information
which the people have been getting
about several government activities
through the newspaper sense of en as
sistant secretary of the treasury who
for years was newspaper man.
Byron R. Newton was born in New
York state down in one of the south
ern tier of counties. For a while he
was a farmer youthful farmer it is
true. and If you want to. you may
call him a plowboy. Now. plowboys,
through all the centuries have been
poets at heart. They have not always
known their own gifts. but the instinct
Of poetry always has been in them.
Not all the plowboys could write
Burns address to the daisy that was
in danger of being crushed by the
plowshare. but they could all feel for
the fate Of the flower, and feeling is
what makes the poet.

Heretofore. Illuminating engineers

cub The only managing editor who
is good for anything and the only ed
itorial writer who gets there with the
punch is the man who has reported
fires, murders, accidents and street
happenings and has written his share
of human interest stories picked up
from the boulevards and from the
alleys of the slums.
After he had made the ordinary run
of newspaper work, Mr.. Newton be-
came what the profession calls star
reporter, and he was sent by a great
press association to the Spanish-Amer-
lean war He reported the deeds OF
our warships off Havana and OFF San
tiago. And it was he who secured the
first story of the wonderful fight put
up by the little ship Winslow against
odds. 1t was Mr.. Newton who first
told the world of the death Of Ensign
Worth Bagley at his post of duty in
the naval battle in which the Winslow
was engaged.

he entered.
First he went to the door and Get q
chair under the knob. Next he drew
an electric bull'seye and nashed II
about the ,oom- He glanced about
and finally went over to Del Mars
desk, where he examined q batch Of
letters. his back to the secret panel.
Arnold was running rapidly through
the papers ON the desk. ~ he flashed
his electric bull's-eye on them, when
the panel In the wall opened slowly
and Del Mar stepped into the room
noiselessly. To his surprise he saw
a round spot Of Light from an electric
hashiight focused on his desk. Some
one was there! He drew . gun.
Arnold started suddenly. He heard
the cooking Of revolver. But he did
not look around. He merely thought
an instant, quicker than lightning.
then pulled out q spool Of black thread
with one hand, while with the. other
he switched on the light, and dived
down on his stomach on the floor in
the shadow.

Mar gazed intently. Suddenly Ar
nold's electric torch glowed forth in
a spot across the room.
Del Mar blazed at 1t, firing every
chamber of his revolver, then switched
on the lights.
No one was in the room. But the
door was open. Del Mar gazed about.
vexed, then ran to the open door.
For a second or two he peered out
in rage, finally turning back into the
empty room. On the mantlepiece lay
the torch of the intruder. It was one
in which the connection is made by a
ring falling on a piece Of metal. The
ring had been left up by Arnold. Con-
nection had been made as he was
leaving the room by pulling the thread
which he had fastened to the ring. Del
Mar followed the thread as it led
around the room to the doorway.
Course himl" swore Del Mar, smash
ing down the innocent torch on the
floor in fury. as he rushed to the desk
and saw his papers all disturbed.
Outside, Arnold had made good his
escape. He paused in the moonlight
and listened. No one was pursuing. He
drew out two or three Of the letters
which he had taken from Del Mars

Woodward stood outside, though he
did not know quite what It was all
about. While he was standing there.
Professor Arnold came up. He had
not exactly made . hit with the guests.
At least, he seemed to make little. eff.
fort to do SO. He and Woodward
walked away. talking earnestly.
In the tent Aunt Josephine handed
Elaine the piece Of paper she had

studying the curious drawing in sur

Aunt Josephine.

Meanwhile Lieutenant Woodward
and his friend had moved to q corner
of the veranda and stood looking in
tently into the moonlight. There was
Del Mar deep in conversation with a
man who had slipped out, at Q quiet
signal. from his hiding place in the
shrubbery.
THAT fellow is up to something,
mark my words" muttered Arnold un-
der his breath.
They continued watching Del Mar,
but, SO far at least, he did nothing
that would have furnished them any
evidence Of anything.

Not thing in them" he exclaimed.
At the first break Of dawn the little
alarm clock awakened Elaine. She
started up and rubbed her eyes at the
suddenness of the awakening, then
quickly reached out and stopped the
bell SO that 1t would not disturb 9TH
ers in the house. She jumped out of
bed hurriedly and dressed.
Armed with Spy glass, Elaine let
herself out Of the house quietly. Di.
rectly to the shore she went, walking
along the beach. Suddenly she paused.
There were three men. Before she
could level her glass at them, however,
they disappeared.
That's strange" she said to herself,
looking through the glass. There's a
steamer at the dock that seems to be
getting ready for something. won
der what it can be doing SO early"
She moved along in the direction of
the dock. At the dock the disreputable
steamer to which Del Mar had dis
patched his emissary was still tied, the
sailors now working under the grufi
orders Of the rough captain. About a
capstan were wound the turns of q
long wire rope at the end of which was
three-pronged drag hook.
Already, on the shore, at an old de.
serted shack of fisherman. two of Del
Mars men had been waiting since be.
