No. He moved slowly. as if he was

he got impatient. and kept calling,

"No. He seemed sort Of stupid as If
he was sleepy, but when Mrs. Daniels

Eyes. But it wasn't what told him

him she had every faith in him, and
that what he had to tell wouldn't do

For an instant she swayed against

back.

"Oh, let's not even think Of it. There

"Dear! he cried in sudden pity, and
would have taken her in his arms

turned away, saying unsteadily:

She Came In, Very Pale, Very Wan, but
Serenely Calm and Smiling.
of the scene in court was the one sub
ject at the breakfast table of rich and
poor alike.
It seemed Incredible to those who
had watched the frenzied, screaming
woman carried out the day before that
she could ever regain her sanity. When
she came in, very pale, very wan, but
serenely calm and smiling. nothing but
the fear of being shut out from the
final scenes of the great drama kept
the crowds from wild applause.
The prosecutor alone did not look at
her. He felt at that moment almost as
if he hated her with personal vindic-
tiveness. For he. too, had had an all
night vigil, seeking some ruse or legal
technicality that would keep the events
of the day before out of the records Of
the case He knew only too well that
any jury. having seen Mary's seizure
would be readily convinced that she
might have suffered in the same fash
ion on the night when James Pollock
was killed. and that If they were con-
vinced of that, proving Mary's guilt
was going to be the hardest struggle
he had ever known.
In consequence the opening hours Of
court were marked by series Of bitter
wrangles during which even his honor
lost his temper, and the restlessness of
the spectators became open disorder
But for all his acidity Of wit and skill
at argument it was losing fight that
the District Attorney waged. He was
conscious of that himself. Therefore
it came as no surprise when it was al
last brought summarily to an end By
the Judge, who ordered the testimony
Of the policeman as to Mary's madness
entered as evidence.
With a long breath Of relief Langdon
turned back toward his seat, suddenly
becoming conscious that he was hold
ing a crumpled scrap of paper which
the baiiff had thrust into his hand
some moments before. He remember
ed now that the court officer had said
something when he gave it to him, but
he hadn't caught the words, and it
was with entire Indifference that he
opened the note and read the hastily
scrawled words. But at. the sight Of
them Indifference gave place to excite
ment. CrumpIng the paper up in his
hand, he turned sharply to the bailif.
"Call George Brennan he said, and
there was triumph in his tones.
Brennan was the same cleancut
young detective who had told OF the
disappearance of Daniels, and the first
question asked him revealed what had
been in the note
"Mr. Brennan, 1 have just received
message which says that you have
found Mr.. Daniels. VIII you tell the
court, please, the circumstances Of the
finding Of the missing man?7
""Well, It wasn't exactly a case Of

SOUTHERN CARRIED 100000
Passengers, Of Whom -Four Received
Fatal Injuries.

Washington, July 21.-Fairfax
Harrison. president Of the Southern
Railway Company, said to-day:
During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1916, Southern Railway Company
carried nearly 17,000,000 passengers,
among whom there were four fatal
injuries; two in rear-end collis-
Ion at Salisbury, N. c., on November
"a, 1915, due to human failure,
the disgrace of which the manage
ment feels keenly; one at James
town, N. G., on March 10, 1916, when
a truck failed under q freight car
passing a passenger train on double
track, causing damage to the passen-
ger train; and one at Citico, Tenn,
on May 8, 1916, when a passenger,
in violation Of the rules made for his
safety, was leaning out from the
steps OF passenger car and was
struck by the truss of a bridge.
1T may be reported also that,
despite the greatly Increased volume
of business done this past year as
compared with the previous year,
there was decrease of fifteen fatal
injuries to employees. While this
record is far from perfection, the
management Is encouraged to believe
that its earnest and organized effort
to promote the safety of railway
travel and to reduce the risk of cas-
uaity in railroad employment Is
showing results"

TYPHOID AND MALARIA
Cause an Economic Loss Of 1925.

A WASHINGTON dispatcb savs.

A Washington dispatch says:
Typhoid and malaria cause an eco
nomic loss Of $92S,234,880 In the
United States each year, according to
estimates given the Senate by Chair
man Ransdell, Of the Senate commit
tee on public health, in an address
on Rural Hea]th-America's First
Duty"
cover $500, 100000 lost every
year." exclaimed the Senator. "a
sum which Is sufficient to put our
country into state Of preparedness
equal to that Of any nation in the
world, enough money to give us the
largest navy afloat and the most eff
cient army which the world has ever
seen, Is annually offered up as a
sacrifice to two diseases which are
entirely preventable. Enough money
to pay the annual expenses of every
college student in the United States
Is absolutely thrown away every
year."
Senator Ransdell estimated the an
nual loss from typhoid fever at
$271,932,8S0, and from malaria at
$694,904,750, the total per capita
loss being $9.46.
BY comparative estimate, 1t was
shown that the United States govern
ment appropriated $5,016,17 for in
vestigatfon and prevention Of dis
eases of animal and plant life and
only $1,917,566 for Investigation and
prevention of diseases Of man.
