CHAPTER w.

There seemed to be nothing at all
criginal In the methods pursued by
the great criminologist when con-
sr0nted with this tabieau OF death and
robbery. His remarks 10 the fagyee-
tor were few. and paffunctory. He
asked only few languld questions uf
Macdougai and Lenora, who were
summoned to his presence.
Macdougal then turned to leave the
room Lenora was about to follow,
but Quest signed to her to remain.
Il should lire to have little con-
versation with you about your mis-
tress," he said to her pleasantly. "If
you don't mind, will ask you to &C
company me in my car. will send
the man! back with you"
They descended in the lift together
and Quest handed the girl into his car.
They drove quickly through the silent
streets.
In u few minutes Lenora was In
stalled In an easy chair in Quests sit
ting.room.

look through these papers"
The girl did as she. was told. She
opened her coat. The room was de-
lightfully warm. almost overheated. A
sense OF rest crept over her. She was
conscious that Quest had laid down
the letters which he had been pre-
tending to read. His eyes were fixed
upon her. There was q queer new
look in them, q strange new feeling
creeping through her veins.
Quests voice broke an unnatural
silence
You are anxious to telephone some
one" he said. You looked at both
the booths az we came through the
hotel. Then you remembered. think,
that he would not be there yet. Tele-
phone now. The telephone Is at your
right hand. You know the number"
She obeyed almost at once.

Mostly lucky" Quest replied. "Take

want me TO talk to Chicago on an.

II was few minutes before mid.
night when Quest parted the curtains
OF room on the ground floor Of his
mouse In Georgia square and looked
out into the snow-white street. Then
he turned around and addressed the
figure lying as though asleep upon the
sofa by the fire.
"Lenora." he said, II am going out.
Stay here. If you please, until re-
turn"
He left the room..s For few mo.
ments there was profound silence.

and crashed full upon the head.
The man staggered back. The
weapon fell from his fingers. For a
moment he was paralyzed. There was
no blood upon his hand, no cry
silence inhuman, unnatural! He
looked again. Then the lights flashed
out all around him. There were two
detectives in the doorway, their re.
volvers covering him--Sanford Quest,
with Lenora in the background. In
the sudden illumination Macdougals
horror turned almost to hysterical
rage. He had wasted his fury upon q
dummy!

DO IT NOW

Manufacturers Record of Jan. 7.)
 In giving particulars regarding mu- nicipal and county work to be under taken at Rome, Ga, to the extent of about $350,000, Mr. II. A. Wheeling, secretry of the Chamber of Commerce of Rome, says: "These improvements are being undertaken in line with po- sition taken by the Manufacturers Record to build now, believing that such improvements can be made now more economically than would be pos sible in the next year or two"
 Build now' and Do public work now" should be the slogans through out the South and, indeed, throughout the country. The time is propitious for doing public work now, as well as for building operations, by all who plan to build any time in the near future and who are financially able to undertake the work now.
 There is great advantage at the present time in doing all work of this kind both by individuals and by com munites, for at present thousands of people are out of employment, build ing material is lower than it has been for years, and it is, therefore pos sible to do all work of this kind to bet ter advantage and at lower cost than it has been for many years or IS likely to be whenever prosperity returns to the country.
 In addition to the saving in work thus done, employment would in this way be given to many of the people now seeking employment in vain.
 Every official in public life in the South ought to take an active interest in Investigating the feasibility of talk ing up immediately all construction work that can possibly be done to ad- vantage Every man who expects to build home or to do any other con struction work within the next year or two, and who is financially able to do it now, ought to do it now, for his own good as we'll as for the good of others.
 Every man who holds back work that he could afford to have done at present merely out of general timidl- ty or unwillingness to go ahead is in- turing the country. Every piece of municipal or county work that is de layed by reason of inactivity on the part of municipal or county officials Is injuring the whole community. Rail roads and many business organizations as we'll as individuals, are not in DO sition to do much construction work at present, but counties, cities, States and the National Government can pro vide money for work of this kind, as we'll as many private individuals, and now is the time when those who can

How To Guard Against Pneumonia

In the Better Babies department in the February Woman's Home C0mpan- ion there apears new service offered to mothers, mothers to-be, and social workers. It is filled with practical suggestions of great value and inter- est. From this service, appearing in the February issue, is taken the fol- lowing advice as to how parents and others can guard against pneumonia both for themselves and for their children:
 February is the month when pneu- monia is busiest and deadliest; In Chi cago and New York last February more than one thousand persons died of pneumonia.
 Pneumonia is now classed by phy- sicians as a preventable disease. It is an infectious dust-disease, due to germs which can be fought with pure air.
 Pneumonia germs thrive and multi ply in unventilated schoolrooms, stores factories, homes, and moving picture theatres.
 'Dry-sweeping and dusting put germs in circulation. Moisten your broom and dustcloth when cleaning. Wash and dry both when your task is done.
 Dry air dries out the mucous mem brane or lining of the nose and air passages, leaving them susceptible to infection and colds. If you have steam heat or a hard coal burner in your home, always keep a pan of water on the radiator or the back of the stove.
 Pneumonia is sometimes the result of a neglected cold. Treat cold promptly.
 "When your children have colds, do not dose them with soothing syrup, cough syrup or patent medicine of any sort. Give castor oil, keep the child in the house, and if the cold does not get better send for your doctor.
 Colds can be caught from kiss a common drinking cup, or a handker- chief or towel which has been used by someone suffering with cold.
 "Adenoids or enlarged or diseased tonsils furnish a lodging place for germs. Children who are subject to colds should be examined by physi- cian-if possible by throat specialist.
 "If you have cold, do not kiss your children. When nursing, bathing and dressing your baby, protect it from in- lection by tying a soft handkerchief or piece of old linen over your mouth.
 Teach your children to protect themselves from cold-contagion by avoiding their little playmates who cough, sneeze, have rash, or sore throat"
