well file that for future reference,
said the Doctor. "And, Vikings, as soon
as we make Seventy-second Street, | want
you to help me upstairs with her, to the
library. I've made my preparations there"
Preparations"
"l'll explain in a moment"
The car swung in and stopped. They
carried Maddalina, still unconscious, up
the front steps, into the broad hall.
On the stairs, Laneham spoke quickly
to Jacobs.
THAT kettle and some boiling water
and the envelop and paper!"
In tho library they found Judge Bishop
waiting for them.
The Doctor merely nodded; and, as
the Judge rose from the big reading chair,
he put Maddalina into it, and began to
prop her up with pillows.
"Laneham! In the name of all that's
unholy, what are you going to do?'
what am | going to do? Easy, now.
And, Vikings, will you phone the Com
missioner that he can send for her at ten?
What am | going to do?' His face was
lit by sort of professional ruthlessness.
I'm going to try to obtain little evil
police departments and courts of law,
which is why | insisted on going after
Maddalina myself. And her present
state could not be more receptive to the
business if I'd worked and planned to
have it so. In Maddalina's case, Pm
going to try the effects of few minutes
of scientific hypnotism!"
Meanwhile Jacobs had nervously
brought in the preparations the kettle
and boiling water, and the envelop and
paper.
The kettle was the little copper kettle
which Laneham had bought that morn
ing, a duplicate of the one in Maddalina S
bathroom. With it was gas tube and
ring, which he rapidly attached and lit
and set up on pipe-stool at Maddalina's
knee.
The envelop was practically replica
of the big blue bank envelop from which
Mrs. Fishers notes had been taken; and
the paper might have been that bill-sized
blank paper which had been substituted
for the money. To make the thing COM
plete, the Doctor had drawn forth his
wallet, and was filling the big envelop
with genuine bank-notcs of his own, and
cumming it down on them.
Then, and then only. did he turn to
the girl.
With long, broken signs, with eye-fut-
terings and troubled pickings of the
fingers she had begun to come to. The
Doctor waited for another moment, as if
watching the effects of an anesthetic.
Then, plainly, the moment came. Placing
himself directly in front of her. he pressed
her hands down into her lap began to
smooth and palm her temples, to draw her
opening eyes to his, and to put her under
the modern enchanter's spell.
"One of the minor details not yet en-
planned, he murmured, lis how and by
whom those bank bills that Mrs. Fisher
left for Vikings were slipped out of the
envelop and the blank paper slipped in
He put the envelop into Maddalina's
hand.
"Possibly, as beginning, we may get
an answer to that.
And. while they looked, she was an

and memory. And then,-it halted their
breathing to see it,-with furtive,
twitching eagerness, she was STOPPING
over. She was laying the gummed wrap
per of that big envelop against the now
steaming kettle spout. She was holding
it there till it was soft, and opening it,
and slipping the Doctors genuine money
out, and thrusting in the imitation. Them
swaying with emotion, she was sealing it |

He spoke to d, Hope: will you do

"For just minute. And it may be the

And when she had let him place her, he
turned to Maddalina again.

"No no, no, no." Again those furious

1t was merely that-the Italian word
for Eyes.
The Doctor glanced at Bishop, and saw
there the same puzzled, half fearful ex-
preston that was in the faces of Vikings
and ID. Hope also.
"No! No! Mo-" he muttered. "'Sce.
See! Scc!' Those We're the cries that the
woman in the Casa Reale heard in Mrs.

throwing her knife to the ground and
striking at the interpreter with her teeth
and nails.
"She has IL maladia" Peppino cried to
the crowd. "The city has commanded

With leap he was at her, and, feinting,
he made a first try for that knife hand.
He did not get it, She slashed at him
vciously, and only by dropping knee
down did he escape the blade.
There was Il yell of delight: other
knives began to come out.
"Peppino, listen to us!' Both Vikings
and Laneham tried to hold him.
But he twisted away from them. al

baggage!"
And, catching up an empty basket, he
ran at her with it.
He used it almost exactly as the
Roman retimius used his entangling net.
In half minute he had caught the
blow as he wanted it. The knife went
through, stuck, and, amid cries of anger,
he was about to make his victory good
when some one threw the girl second
knife.
1t was all that was needed-n every
way. The Doctor jumped forward and
saved Peppino. But the blade. doubled
back and cut the buttons from his sleeve.
Next moment, too, a hairy hand was
jerking him off. And, from behind some
one was jumping upon Vikings, as he
tried to protect d. Hope. An instant
later Vikings was down. Laneham was
held in Il dozen hairy arms. They were
beaten, trapped, at the bottom of the
wickedest tenement in New York.
SUDDENLY, from the floor where he
was still wrestling with Maddalina, the
interpreter uttered a piercing cry:
III maiocchio!" he cried. "H malo-
cchio!"
1t was as if lightning bolt had
dropped among them. The crowd surged
back, wildly. I'll molocchio!" they echoed.
The dark hole was full of it-"H malo-
it echoed through the passage, as they
pushed their way back; and the cellar
was left empty except for d. Hope,
Vikings, the Doctor, and the interpreter.
Then. as Popping rose from the dirt
floor they caught their first glance of
Maddalina and began to understand.
She lay gasping; her body began to
arch, her jaws to set and froth, her eye
balls to turn terrifyingly backwards None
of her own people had stayed to help
her, not even Pcppino. With one terri
fed cry, "Nom de DID,, he fled after his

passageway.

LET HIM COUGH UP

Everybody wants to see better country roads around here, and those
who live off of the community should do their share toward its upkeep
either through local taxation or by voluntary contribution.
Our local business men have dug down into their pockets again
and again for all sorts of laudable objects in the way of contributions
to this, that and whatnot, and they will probably continue to dig as
long as they remain in business.
Like the good old Jersey cow they have been "miked" 81 loag
and Sc often and for such varied purposes that digging has become
almost second nature to them.
But there is n mn who is rolling in wealth that has been gather
ed in from the rural districts, and that a has yet to make his first
ing Il single penny for the alienation of local conditions.
He is the mail order man, and it is high time for him to dig.
Many of you have been sending him your money for these many
order that he and mis- may ride in expensive automobiles and wear rca
furs, laces and diamonds.
He counts his wealth by the millions, all contributed by his "dar
friends" from the country districts. A few hundreds to him would be
but a drop in the bucket, yet it would mean much to you if expended in
improving the roads that you must travel in earning our daily bread.
Now suppose each n OF you good people who have been handing
your hard earned money w to the mail order Ia in the past just
write him a letter and tell him your roads ire sadly in need of repairs.
Just tell him that when the rains come tn mud is deep, and traffic l.
difficult and it is ha1d for you to earn the golden dollars that go to
swell the great wealth he car never spend.
Tell him that you have been his friend in the past. Now ask hma
to prove his mette by becoming your friend in the present, with a few
hundreds for better roads.
Ask him o dig" and dig deeply. If he is your friend-if he cares
a rap for you-he will dig. But if he thinks only Of what he a squeeze
out of you, he won't dig.
Write him today, and SEE if he digs.
But in the meantime, just remember that responsible merchants are
advertising in this paper this week, and other weeks, and that they
will duplicate the goods sold by the dgless mail order man quality tor
quality and dollar for donar-and say you the freight Or express.
Show your loyalty by supporting the dealer who supports you and
yours.

MANY TITLES MAKE A MUCH

How would you like to sit down at your desk, run over your a-
counts, and absorb the knowledge that anywhere from n to five
hundred people were indebted to you in sums from so cents to $500?
And how would you like to meet those good people day by day
without their ever thinking OF offering you the small amount due you?
And how would you like to see these same good people paying
their other bills promptly month by month and again forgetting yours?
And wouldn't you just revel in the knowledge that all of these
small amounts combined, if suddenly collected up, would swell your
bank account to the tune of $500 OF $1,000?
When you reach the point where you can appreciate the grim
humor of such a condition, and keep right smiling, you will have
qualified yourself for the life of a country editor.
And when you reach that point you will wonder why in
blazes you never thought of tie editor when paying your other
bills, and you will just push the breeze until you reach his shop and
hand him that little mite you W him.
Here's hoping you soon qualfy-for you know, brother, that many
Titles make a much, and in the editorial purse there is always room fos
more.

 If Wainwright was the one most happy in wholesome wise it was the Master Mind himself who found an unholy happiness in the bizarre situa- ton that he had contrived so cunning ly for the ultimate accomplishment of his revenge. Thus far in truth his success had been unequivocal. There had been no failure anywhere in the processes he had evolved for the com summation of his revenge against the man he hated.
  In the drawing room of the Vain wright mansion B1ount was pacing to and fro somewhat nervously, breeding over many things and wondering nightly as to when he should be per mitted to return to the tranquil pleas ures of Laramie, Wyo., where he knew not fear and where he was respected of all men. Mrs. Blount and Lucene sat near each other by the windows, looking out over the fast darkening landscape. But presently Mrs: Blount turned to her husband.

London Law Paper Declares Against
 Interning Citizens

London, June 1-'It would be po- litically wrong, as we'll as morally unjust, to intern natura1ized British subjects or in any way to discriminate between them and native citizens" de- elares the London Law Journal in a forctble article on the Treatment of Aliens
 'tNo support can be given,'' declares the journal, ito any of the threatened steps against those who have been na- turalized, and have become British subjects. Discrimination between citi- zens is like an evil growth in the body politics, and the damage Is vital, be- cause the disease grows by what it feeds on.''

If the United States should go to war the man who would look after the health of Uncle Sam's troops would be Surgeon General William c. Gorgas, the most famous sanitary ex- pert in the country.
 It was Surgeon General Gorgas who cleaned up Havana after the Spanish American war and turned it from hotbed of yellow fever into one of the healthiest cities in the world. He was chief sanitary officer during the construction of the Pana-
 ma canal, where, in spite of the tropi- cal climate, the amount of illness among the employees was negligible.
