The weapon covered Lanyard stead
lily. leaving him no alternative but to
obey AS for that, he was glad of the
excuse to listen for any sound to indi-
cate how the girl was faring in her
flight And he made a pretense of
trembling fingers to cover the slowness
with which he complied
But he heard nothing.
When at length he had visibly turned
every pocket inside out, and their con-
tents lay upon the desk. the woman
looked them over incuriously.
Put them back" she said CURLY.
"And then fetch that chair over there
the one in the corner. I've a notion
I'd like to talk to you. That's the usual
thing, isn't it?''
"How?" Lanyard demanded with q
vacant stare.
In all the criminal novels I've ever
read, the 1aw-abiding householder al
ways sits down and has a sociable chat
with the housebreaker-befor calling
in the police. I'm afraid that's part of
the price you've to pay for my hospital
ity."
She paused, cycling Lanyard inquis-
itively while he replaced his belong
ings in his pockets. "Now get that
chair" she ordered, and waited. stand

it-there! Sit down."
Resting herself against the side OF
the desk. the revolver held negligently.

and write our own lines. I'll ask you
an original question: Why were you
acting just now?"
"Acting?" Lanyard repeated, in
trigued by the acuteness of this mas
terful woman's mentality.
Precisely pretending you're an or
binary criminal. For a moment actu-
ally believed you afraid of me. But
you're neither that nor a common
crook. How do ! know? Because
you're unarmed; your voice has
changed in the last two minutes to that
of a cultivated man; you've stopped
cringing and started thinking; and the
way you walked across the floor just
now and handled that chair showed me
how powerfully you're made. If
hadn't found this revolver you could
overpower me in an instant-and I'm
no weakling. as women go. Then why
the acting?"
Studying his captor with narrow in

shrugged, but made no response. He

be able to communicate with the po-
lice, denounce him"
She hesitated, breathless and ap-
pealing.
At her first words he had drawn
close to her; and all their speech was
couched in muted murmurings, barely
more than whisperings. And this was
quite instructive, for in the passion of
| that meeting both had been carried be-
yond considerations of prudence, their
most coherent thought being that now,
once and for all time, all misunder-
standing between them must be done

And now, as naturally as though
they had been lovers always, Lanyard
possessed himself of her hand.
You cared as much as that" he
said.

ST love you so much, am ready to sac
rifice everything for you-life, liberty,

Hush, dearest, hushi" he begged
half distracted between joy and pain.

me, but to you, If refused to tell them

DANGER SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or would you go and
help to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough is a
danger signal as much as a fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress it
than to stop fire bell when it it is ring
ing, but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can always be
done by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remeny. Many have used it with the
most beneficial results. 1t is especially
valuable for the persistent cough that so
often follows a bad cold or an attack
of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, of
Andrews. Indiana, writes During the
winter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you cannot
get him to take any other" Obtainable

real science in the second round but be-

Infantile Paralysis

DR.. A. G. Young, secretary OF the
State Board of Health, was at his desk
at the State House Tuesday, after an
absence for several days in attend
ance upon the ninth Congress Of the
American School Hygiene Association
at New York The sessions of the con-
gress were very interesting and prof
liable.
DR.. Young found New York greatly
wrought up over an epidemic OF lnfan-
tile paralysis. which had, according TO
the latest reports, already developed
$50 cases. On his way home DR.. Young
was in conference Monday with the
Massachusetts State Health depart
ment upon methods of coping with the
disease. The Massachusetts authorities
agreed with him that it would be both
impossible and needless to enforce any
unnecessary and unreasonable quaran-
tine against New York on account OF
the malady, or to take any such dras-
tic measures as have been adopted by
some of the local boards of health in
New York and other states. DR.. Young
will prepare, however, bulletin on the
disease and the best means of caring
for and treating 1t, which will be sent
to physicians and others in the State.
Dr. Young said that since the close
Of the schools a large number of chill
dren had left New York, some $4,000 or
&C, 900 more than the normal number
going on summer vacations. it is esti-
mated. The exodus is particularly no.
ticeable on trains and boats leaving
Boston at this time Of year.
The disease is communicable but in
an irregular way, DR., Young states,
which would make it appear that peo-
pie who do not have the disease them
selves but have been in contact with it
are able to communicate it.
Maine has not had an epidemic of in
fantile paralysis since 1911 and then
there were comparativ few cases of
it. Later there were a few cases in
widely different parts Of the State,
happening in october, a very unusual
month for the disease.
