stories In my life, but never one to
equal this. And you know nothing Of
this Frenchman"
Nothing except that he came from
Havre on La Touraine last Thursday,
and drove from the dock direct to Van
tines house"
"My client also came on La Tou-
raine, but that, no doubt, was mere
coincidence"
'That may be-" agreed, ''but it is
scarcely a coincidence that both he

"You mean

man may very possibly have been an

Mr.. Hornblower rose abruptly. He
was evidently much disturbed.
"You may be right" he agreed. Il

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
AND RED CROSS SEALS.
Institutions Where Children Are Treat
cd and Taught at Same Time.

Say, teacher, how sick's a Teller got
ter be ter get in this ere open air
schoolT' This was a greeting to one
Of the teachers at the Elizabeth Nc
Cormick Open Air School In Chicago
the other day by a puny little fellow
who had been envying the sick Riddles
the good time they were having at
studying, working, sleeping and play
ing all In the open air.
Open air schools to the number OF
nearly 500 are now maintained all
over the United States. Some Of them
this winter In the northern states will
hold sessions when the thermometer is
down to zero or below. Others will
enjoy the balmy winds Of Southern
California, Louisiana or Alabama.
In the open air school movement Red
Cross Seals have played and are still
playing an important part. The seal
n through the Anti-Tuberculosis
societies, has been the for ex-
perimenting and convincing the hard
headed school boards Of the wisdom Of
the plan and also for providing food,
clothing and special nursing care which
the public funds could not furnish. Red
Cross Seals are among the children's
truest friends.

HOW THE RED CROSS
SEAL ORIGINATED.
ti-tubereuIosis Workers After $780,
600 Fund.

Nearly s2.5OO.OOO has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
seven years. and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
eighth annual sale do not know how
the charity stamp idea originated.
IL was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil war OF 61 to
'65. Some of your grandmothers first
played post Office with stickers SIM
liar to Red Cross Seals way back In
1862. when they conceived the idea of
selling stamps at fairs for the benefit
of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn. Boston n
elsewhere. Nearly S1.0OO,O00 was rails.
ed In this way before 1865. After the
war this method of raising money was
discontinued in this country for a gen.
Grafton. although it found vogue in
Portugal, Switzerland, Austria.
France, Spain. Denmark. Norway,
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now several
thousands Of different types of charity
stamps used In all parts of the world.
as many as forty being used in Aus
tria for children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden In
1904. To Jacob Riis, the well known
social worker of New York, and to
Miss Emily p. Bissell. the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
Jointly belong the honor of originating
our American Red Cross Christmas
seal. In 1907 Mr.. Riis's interest was
aroused by the receipt Of a Christmas
tuberculosis stamp on a letter from
Norway. He published an article about
this queer looking stamp in the Out
look and suggested some possible uses
for It In this country. Miss Bissell at
once saw an opportunity here and pre-
pared a stamp, from the sale Of which
her society realized $1,000 for tubercu-
losis work. So impressed was she with
this success that she induced the Amer
lean Red Cross to take up the sale In
1908 on a national basis. With very
little organization and with hardly any
attempt at careful advertising the sale
that year brought in over S135,0O0 for
anti-tuberculosis work In various parts
Of the United States. In 1909, with
more thorough organization, the sale
was increased to s23O,OOO, in 1910 to
nearly $4,000, in 1911 to over $3.50.
600 and In 1912 to over 100000. In
1913 the sale was increased to nearly
$4,000, and last year, In spite of wal
and hard times, % per cent more, OF
$1,000. 900 seals were sold. totalini

225,000,oo0 Holiday Stickers Already

Few people have any conception Of
the magnitude of the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal Campaign. Here are a few
figures that will show what a gigantic
movement this is. Already 225. 10000
seals have been printed and practically
that entire number distributed to
agents in every state and territory Of
the Union from Alaska In the North to
the Canal Zone In the South and from
Porto Rico in the East to Hawaii In the
West. Advertising circulars, posters,
cards, ETC., to the number of several
million have also been distributed. Not
less than 100000 personal letters ask
ing people to buy seals have been sent
out. 1t is estimated that the army Of
workers, nearly all of whom are vol
unteers, engaged In selling the seals
numbers well over 100000 The adver-
Using and publicity donated to the
campaign amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every effort is being
put forth to sell 100000 seals. or less
than n for every man, woman and
child In the United States. This will
mean $75O,OOO for the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in the United States, and
particularly all of the 1900 anti-tuber-
culosis associations Of the country de-
rive their support from Red Cross Seals.

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
NOT FOR WAR RELIEF,
American Rcd Cross Director Urges
Fund For tuberculosis Prevention.

None of the proceeds from the sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals, which are
being sold widely throughout the Unit
ed States for the benefit of the anti
tuberculosis movement, will be used
for any relief purposes, according to a
statement by Ernest z. Bicknell. Ma
tional Director of the American Red
Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: 1.-The American
Red Cross is deeply a%ppreciative of the
sympathetic interest which has inspired
the suggestion from various parts OF
the United States that a certain per
centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales
Fund, which has been used for the last
seven years exclusively for the proven
ton and treatment Of tuberculosis in
the United States, be expended this
year to aid the European war suffer
ers. While the Red Cross Is DESTROYS
Of securing contributions which will in
crease this war relief fund, we do not
feel justified in adopting any policy
which will tend to cripple the tubercu-
losis work in this country, dependent
40 II IL ioi support W 81 ldrSe an eA-
tent on the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals. The announcement that a
percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon
ey would go TO our war relief fund
might possibly increase the sale: but.
in our opinion, the final results would
show a distinct loss in that part of the
proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
AT the present time there are over
1,2OO anti-tuberculosis societies distrib
uted through nearly every state in the
Union and even In Porto Rico, the
Canal Zone and far off Hawaii, which
are dependent almost entirely upon the
receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale
for their work during the year 1916. The
people Of the United States must sup
port this local war against tuberculo-
sis, which annually kills o 1000 people
and at the present time Is leaving a
trail Of u million wounded"

he DID HIS SHARE.
How the Rich Man Changed His Mind
When TubercuIosis Struck Home.

~
Anthony Schofeld lived in Missouri
and had made his money In copper and
zinc. He had worked hard from a boy
In the drift up to the rank of foreman,
the to superintendent and finally to
owner. Sickness never worried him.
His six foot giant frame had stood
many hard knocks and was rood for
many more. A year ago in answer to
a pretty girl who asked him to buy
some seals to help the miners who had
tuberculosis he replied grufily: let EN-
work and ave. That's what | did when
/ was young. and I've never been sick
and have got enough to keep me now"
1t was a different Schofeld who ap-
preached the Red Cross Seal girl at
one of the booths yesterday. In twelve
months his daughter had been stolen
away by the monster tuberculosis and
his son, just graduating from college,
had been compelled to drop everything
else in his search for health from this
same disease Tie doctor had said that
the disease could Oe traced bach proba-
bly, to childhood, when his two children
had been nursed by the eonsumptive
daughter of a consumptive miner. The
rickety, disease breeding tenements In
which the miner was compelled to live
were owned by Schofeld now. I'D
give my two eyes and both legs and
arms to have my daughter with me
and my son restored to health he
confided to the Red Cross Seal girl.
II can't get away from the thought
that my girl might be alive and my boy
well If I'd given some attention to the
prevention of this disease ten or fifteen
years ago. Now it's too late for that.
but I'll keep somebody else's son and
daughter safe. Here. give me all the
seals you've got and then go and get
all you can find and charge them all to
me. If money can make amends. which
1t can't, I'll do my share"
As the astonished girl handed over TO
him her entire supply of 10000 seals
and TOOL his check in return she heard
him mutter his daughters name and
| repeat. "I1l do my share"
