was thought of it for the time being.
However, the bite resulted in an in
fection which spread so rapidly that
physicians found 1t impossible to save
the child's life. A high fever aavel-
oped, and the child died.

vestigated the case, is satisfied that
the child's death was directly trace

OF Alan's dry. cracking skin seemed
to Gerry to be burning his hands. "It
is as though there were fire in him.
he said to Lieber.
Lieber looked at his patient with an
all-seeing eye. He paused before COW

There's fire in him-the worst kind
and he's been playing with 1t, just
tickling it with stale quinine." His
eye ran rapidly over the thin body. "I

: and Lleber started to strip him with
gentle, deft hands. Kemp strode for
ward and helped but Gerry stood by,
powerless to move. He had recognized
Alan, the man he had sworn to break
IL ever he met him. Somebody else
had broken Alan, terribly. pitilessly
Gerry's eyes shrank from the sight. A
lump came into his throat. Alan was
dead. Alan with whom he had wan
dered barefoot through those quiet
lanes of home, with whom he had
fished and swum. and once had
fought. What a little fury Alan had
been in that boys battle! 1t had not
been fought to a finish. On one i'm
pulse they had stopped and looked at
each other and turned away, ashamed
to shake hands.
Lleber, once heavy, horid and clum-
sy, was transformed. He worked
quickly, with sure hands. The body
lay stripped on the settle. Under ii
still lay the hammock and dusty blan-
kets. The pillows and a board had
been tossed on the floor. Lieber ex-
amined his patient minutely, without
haste. The spleen was frightfully dis

sickly gray-yellow of nodded straw.

chest out from his room. With alcohol
he rapidly washed out the Justified

body. Then he took out hypodermic

came to. The hammock was padded
with pillows and blankets and strung
on stout bamboo pole with two men
at each end supporting it.

asked angrily and sank back into the
pillows. From there his eyes glared
up at McDougal

Dougal gently but firmly.
Alan smiled a twisted smile. Send

resignedly, "Oh, all right" Then he
started up. Bring Matches" he said.
McDougal took matches from his pOck-
ct. Alan drew two letters from inside
his coat Burn them" He held them
out and watched jealousy as McDou-
gal opened out the sheets with averted
eyes and set fire to the thin paper. The
hlmy cinders blew hither and thither
under the light breeze. The men under
the pole moved nervously, anxious to
be off. Their eight companions
wheeled their dea-bitten ponies and
headed for the trail mo, you don't"

many gestures that they were to ride

teeth, and then cried, mo, want the

McDougal dived into the tent and
brought out the board with the roughly
cut words that he could not read but
somehow began to understand. He
slipped it into the hammock behind the

hand and gave the word to the men.

There are occasional instances
where rodents, both the house rat and
mouse, have been known to invade
the bed or crib occupied by young chill
dren, especially infants when left
alone sleeping. Such an incident is
recorded in the death of William Web
ster Jackson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William w. Jackson of Washington,
whose death is reported in the vital
statistics as due to a virulent blood
poisoning from the infection of
mouse bite on the child's neck.
One night while the infant, only two
weeks old, was sleeping in his crib be-
side his. mothers bed a mouse crawled
into the crib and, biting the baby on
the neck, inflicted what was then
thought to have been an Insignificant
wound. A simple application was made
