CONTINUING SPECIAL MEETINGS
 AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Great Interest Shown in Special Ser
 vices Held.

There was much interest manifested in the special meetings which have been held during the past two weeks at the First Baptist church.
 Both the attendance, which increased each evening, and the growth of spir- itual interest encouraged the pastor, Rev. G. H. Strouse, to continue the meetings this week.
 MT. Strouse announced the meetings at the Sunday services which are to be held each evening this week,~with diff ferent speakers. Monday evening the meeting will be in charge of Miss Carrie Wilbur; Rev. MrS Tedford will speak Tuesday evening, and the Rev. MT. Holmes Wednesday evening. Fri day evening will be Sunday school night, when it is hoped that there will be a large representation from the Bible school. The speaker for Thurs day evening is to be given out later.

Two Calls for Bremen,

The fire department was twice called out on Saturday. The first time the autochemical from the central station went to the home of J. Edgar Ritchie at No. 157 Broad street for a chimney fire. The second time was about in the evening, when the autochemical responded to a telephone call from c. C. Treats drug store at the corner of Fra nlllin and Willow streets. This was for a supposd chimney fire. but was @. false alarm, as a fire had just been started in the stove and the large amount of smoke caused somebody to think the chimney was on fire.

BICYCLE RIDER
 KNOCKED WOMAN OVER.
Careless Boy Was Travelling Through Franklin Square at Good Speed.

A boy who says he lives on North Main street, and who was riding a bicycle, ran into and knocked down a woman on Franklin square Saturday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock. Police Sergeant John Kane, who happened near at the time, assisted the woman into the Capitol lunch room, and after a. few minutes rest she was able to return to her home. The woman re- ceived a general shaking up, but no serious damage resulted. The boy, who was riding at a good rate of speed, told Policeman Smith that he did not see the woman as she stepped in front of his bicycle, and was advised by the officer to keep a sharper lookout here after and to ride more carefully.

the little incision he had made, will

Quickly Craig made one test after

an unmistakable odor of garlic in the
air which made me think of what l
had already noticed in Elaine's room.

tests. This is the Marsh test for

"Arsenic!" l repeated, in horror.
I had scarcely recovered from the
surprise Of Kennedy's startling reve-
lation when the telephone rang again.
Kennedy seized the receiver, thinking
evidently that the message might be
from or about Elaine.
But from the look on his face and
from his manner, l could gather that,
although 1t was not from Elaine her
self, 1t was about something that in
terested him greatly.
"Good!" heard him say finally Il

he replied. thoughtfully. "As l sus-

I considered a moment. "How's
that?" l Queried.

Kennedy had evidently considered
my objection already.

AS he spoke, he took an automatic
from drawer of a cabinet and thrust
it into his pocket. Then he went to
another drawer and took out several
sections Of thin tubing which seemed
to be made to fasten together as a
fishing pole is fastened, but were now

Then he went out. l followed, still

"Oh! I'm 30 glad to see you," she
breathed with IN air Of relief az Ken

"Why-what is the matter?" asked
Craig anxiously.
Doctor Hayward shook his head du-
biously, but Kennedy did not notice
him, for. as he approached Elaine. she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed it a letter and handed 1t to
him.
Craig took it and read:
"You are sick this morning. To-
morrow you will be worse. The next
day you will die unless you discharge

At the signature of the Clutching
Hand he frowned, then, noticing Doc
tor Hayward, turned to him and re-
peated his question, What is the mat

Doctor Hayward continued shaking
his head. II cannot diagnose her

There seemed to be faint odor, al

was unmistakable and Craig looked
about him curiously, but said nothing.
AS he shifted, he moved impatiently
and his foot touched Rusty, under the
bed. Rusty whined and moved back
lazily. Craig bent over and looked
at him.
Whats the matter with Rusty?" he
| asked. Us he sick, too?"
why, yes" answered Elaine, fol-
lowing Craig with her deep eyes.
Craig reached down and gently
pulled the collie out into the room
Rusty crouched down close to the
floor His nose was hot and dry and
feverish. He was plainly i'll.
How long has Rusty been in the
room?" asked Craig.
All night" answered Elaine. II
wouldn't think of being without him
now"
May take Rusty along with me?"
Craig asked finally.
Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said
at length, "only be gentle with him."
"Of course" he said simply. Il
thought that I might be able to dis,
cover the trouble from studying him."
We stayed only a few minutes
longer, for Kennedy seemed to realize
the necessity of doing something i'm
mediately, and even Doctor Hayward
was fighting in the dark.
Back in the laboratory, Kennedy set
