The professors withdrew, leaving
the young victims together in the lab
oratory of the science building. Stu
ated on the seashore, in the curve Of
the wooded heights of Brooklyn, it
was an ideal spot for experimentation
The hum of the great distant city
only came family to their ears.
In three hours time the vessel
would anchor off the dock to carry
them away to the South seas, there to
remain for term of years until the
deadly virus had been eliminated.
The young man shuddered as he
thought of the awful fate in store for
them. Now that the act was irrev-
ocable he began to think Of the sac
rifice. He remembered a hundred
friendships, the college days when he
had been the heart and soul Of his
set. All these memories he must leave
behind him, to go out to a savage
island with this nurse.
Yet. as he glanced at her, he began
stc feel novel interest in her that
he had never felt before. Life with
her would at least be companionable.
He was not so sure, now, that he had
done a foolish thing.
"Do you regret the sacrifice, B n F

woman.

The girl still smiled at him. He was
half piqued and half indignant.
Don't you begin to feel the effects
Of the virus?" he inquired.

"Why not?"
"That is part of the secret, too" she
said.
He turned Indignantly. He had

together about thirty substitutes have
been found to give satisfactory re-

Love Germs
BY II. M. EGBERT


Copyright 1915, by W. G. Chapman.)
The three professors locked inquir-
ingly at the younger member of the
faculty as he entered the room. If pity
had been known in the year 2215, it
might have been said that pity was
reflected upon their faces. AS it was
not, the look must have been merely
curiosity.
The whiterobed, sterilized nurse
would have been called beautiful three
centuries before. But her wealth Of
blond hair was hidden by the hideous
hood that was the fashion, and in her
loose garments she looked more like a
| mandarin.
She, too, gazed curiously at the
young fellow who entered and took
his station respectfully before the pro-
! fessors.

est professor, addressing him by the
name he bore, you are still decided
to become the subject of this expert
ment?"
Eyes, sir" replied the young man.
"You are making it in the interests
of civilization. You have weighed the
consequences? You know that it will
mean persecution, ostracism, and.
worst of all, the existence within your
system of a diabolical germ, which
has become so rare that it is neces-
sary to demonstrate it's existence by
performing this incubation"
II have considered all the conse'
quences, gentlemen" replied the young
man.
The three professors addressed the
nurse.

to his surprise, he found that he was
standing nearer to her than he had
ever stood before. And, as his arms
went cropping blindly for some mysteri-
Gus purpose he found that they had
closed about her and were holding her
fast. The harder he tried to escape
her. the more tightly he held her.
The girl made no attempt to es-
cape, but continued smiling. What IS
it," he whispered. And suddenly the
realization came to him.
Its the poison-the love virus!"
he exclaimed.
The girl nodded. She nodded so hard
that her wealth Of hair came tum-
bling down from under the hideous
hood. He caught strand between
his fingers and pressed it to his lips.
What am I doing? Why am [ do
ing this?" he cried. as it's it the

The girl for the first time uttered
hearty laugh. The young man seemed

his forehead.
GAS I was saying" he resumed, it
will be delightful helping each other
in the little things Of the day, and in
the evenings we'll sit and chat by the
camp fire and compare notes and ex-
periences-"
The silvery ripple of her mirth
seemed to fill the room. Again the
young man was struck silent.
"Why are you laughing at me?' he
cried at length. Don't you want my
devotion? Don't you want me to wait
on you, to learn from you, to sit at
your feet as your slave? Is there
somebody else you prefer? l can
hardly wait for the boat to arrive.

A Few Helpful Suggestions by the
Executive Secrstzry.

The first thing FIR the loca' chur,:
to do is to appoint resistra ion en-
mittee.
This committee is the m It mo =
tant committee in connect on W.T..
The Virginia convention.
Its work is Pc 33nai and IS lie
more effective than literature or an
nouncements from the pulTit.
1t is the piece of mach'n ~ ia
makes possible succe -Sful CONVEX
ton and without it laf5e r-gis r.
ton is almost impossible.
The size OF this committee depends
upon the membership of the ur h
It should be large enough to make 1t
possible to cover the whole NILE
membe. ship of the church Inside OF
two weeks for registration.
This committee should be appointed
at once and start its work at ?east
three weeks before the conven ion
or as soon as Crganized-delay is IA
tai as far as large reg -stration IS
concerned.
If there is an active mems mission
airy committee in the church the mem
bers of this committee should act as
the registration committee. If neces'
sary, add as many men to this com
rsS-:ttee as will enable it to -s--ecess
fully caarr ass the whole church in a
limited time.
If there is not a mems missionary
committee in the church, this com.
mittee should be formed at once with
view Of being largely responsible
for the conservation of the conven
ton plans, in so far as they are re-
lated to the local church.
Duties of Registration Committee.
First-Secure list of all male
members of church and congregation
Second-Divide this list among the
members of the committee, each man
or team Of two men, should be re-
sponsible for the men on their list
Every man in church, congregation,
brotherhood or kindred organizati IN
should be registered.
Third-Arrange for booster meet
ings at supper or social. Have ad
dresses on campaign at brotherhoods
and mems classes.
Fourth-Stuiy the program of the
convention and get information con.
corning speakers, registration zee TO.
expenses Of convention meetings, ct
Fifth-Keep in touch with the eX
ecutive secretary, Roam 215 hme"icar
National Bank building, Ric mond
Secure literature, posters. bu tons al
plenty of registration blanks.
Sixth-Study carefully tie rurDo~e

Makinq Resin In, a New Way.

A new method of extracting resin
from pine wood has been discovered
by Newton Critics, student in the
University of Washington. In the
South the solvent used is gasoline,
but from 25 to 80 gallons of gasoline
are lost in the treatment of each cord
of wood. Critics substituted am
monium hydroxide for the gasoline
and worked out process by which
complete extraction of the resin is
possible, together with the recovery
of practically all the ammonia.
Prof. H. K. Benson, under whose tu-
telage the young inventor worked, ex-
presses the belief that the waste Of
Seattle lumber mills will supply 10000
barrels of resin annually at lower
price than it can be made for in the
southern states.

sake of science? You, too, are under
going this martyrdom with a full
knowledge Of the consequences"
The other two asked her almost the
same question, though not in Identical
words. There was faint smile upon
the nurses face as she replied.
Eyes, gentlemen, I am prepared to
suffer this martyrdom," she answered.
"Then you have both been warned,
as is required by law" said the eldest
professor. 81 shall now proceed to in
-oculate you both with the rare germ
known as diplococcus amoris, found
only in Patagonia and Fiji"
1t was weighty experiment. Dur
ing the three centuries that had
elapsed love had become rarer anu
rarer. Marriages were now and had
long been regulated by the state.
Spasmodic cases of love had been re-
ported to the medical faculty, but ex-
cept for these epidemics, now becom-
ing rarer as the principles of hygiene
were better understood, there had not
been a case in years.
It was the desire of the physicians
to observe genuine case of love, in
order to revise the textbooks of this
disease, that had led the professors
to cast about for two suitable sub
iects. AS soon as II disease developed
they were to be laced for a period
of years upon a desert island, to
avoid the spread of the malady. They
would be supplied with food and a
home and left there until the viru-
Ience of the disease was believed to
have abated.
'It is a splendid thing to sacrifice
ourselves for SCIENCE" said A 50 W F
IA, enthusiastically.
Eyes, it is indeed" answered B II
FF7. Nevertheless the same faint,
almost inscrutable smile played about
her features as she spoke. The young
man wondered whether the nurse had
fully realized the nature of the expert
ment, the suffering that it would en-
tail. However, he said nothing, but
barred his arm for the incubation with
the rare microbe, a supply of which
had come from the Fiji islands only a
few days before.
The first professor, having steri-
lized his needle, drew up minute
quantity of gelatin out Of a tube. In
this substance we're millions of the
deadly diplococcus. He inserted the
point of the hypodermic into the young
mans arm. A So w P IA did not
finch at the pain. Then, having with
drawn the needle, the professor per-
formed the same operation on the
young woman.
Everybody noticed that the same
faint and inscrutable smile played
about her features, but nobody COM
mented upon that fact. Even in 22l5
1t was the privilege of young women
to smile.
The operations completed, the pro-
fessors solemnly shook hands with the
victims.
"In three hours" said the middle
professor, "the symptoms should be-
gin to take effect. This is lis o'clock.
At 11S, therefore, you will both be-
come a menace to society. At that
hour the boat will ba waiting to- cor
yey you to your island home" =.
