Alan sank back into the pillows. His

must either break ones head against
1t or swallow it and let it take its
course through the mental gorge.
Gerry longed to stay by Alan's side,
and through his returning conscious
ness, as through a magnifying glass,
gaze upon the world he had fOresworIl
the heritage he had abandoned. But
the fact of Margarita and her boy
suddenly declared itself-demanded
digestion-and Gerry turned his back
on Alan. He mounted, and with the
silent Kemp reversed the drive they
bad made together months before.
Lieber did not go with them. When
he had seen them off, he busted him
self giving orders for the tidying up
of the veranda, the feeding of Alan's
convoy, beast and man, and the prepa-
ration of a room for the self-invited
guest From the pile of dusty pillows
a servant was picking up, fell board.
Lieber glanced down at it. Words
were cut roughly but clearly into its
| surface. They spoke to him. They
held his eyes. He stopped laboriously
and picked up the board. He took it
into his private room, propped it up
against some books on the table and
sat before it with his face dropped
words seemed no longer carved in
wood. Against the inward darkness
of his brain they shone out in points
of light He could not shut them out.

At sundown Lieber came out to his
patient He had him moved, settle
and all, into a room whose windows
opened upon the veranda. Lieber sat
beside him and nursed him through the
long, hot night To the deftness of
his hand had been added tenderness,
and into his fa.cA uew determination
had come-a resolve to win Aian's
battle for him whatever the odds.

he rapidly washed out the Justified
nostrils of the stricken man and
bathed his face and then the limbs and
body. Then he took out hypodermic

glass he dissolved a powder and with
steady hands added measured drops
of liquid of faint amber hue.

shortly

was left of Alan had come over him.
"Why?" said Lieber dryly, "Pll tell
you, Mr.. Lansing. Because it is less
cowardly to kill a man than to let
him die"
He mixed the solution in the syringe
and then, grasning Alan's arm, he

MOUSE BITE KILLS BABY

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. i=ficted what was then
thought to have beer an insignificant
wound. A simple application was made

to the scratch or wound inflicted by
the little rodent, and nothing more
was thought of it for the time being.
However, the bite resulted in an in
fection which spread so rapidly that
physicians found it impossible to save
the child's life. A high fever dnvel-
oped, and the child died.
Coroner ]. Ramsay hewitt, who in
vestigated the case, is satisfied that
the child's death was directly trace
able to the bite of the mouse. In COM
menting upon the case he said:
TT is a fact widely known among
medical men that rats and mice carry
disease, and householders should make
every effC-t to rid their houses of them
as a matter of personal and public
protection. Cats, likewise, are a men

How Smoking Injuries Health.

Laboratory work at the Paris Medi.
cal college indicates that tobacco
smoking does injure the heart, but
not, as generally supposed, on account
of the nicotine present. Tobacco with
various proportions of nicotine was
used in the tests. and the effect on the
heart was the same. Oak leaves were
found to produce very much the same
result as tobacco, and the conclusion
reached was that the harmful effects
are due to products of combustion con-

Hungry Rooster,

Just to keep things going in Sweet
Springs, a corn-eating contest was
staged there with two voracious roost-
ers as principals. Big Ben, the winner
of the bout, ate 284 grains of corn in
five minutes, and a man who guessed
277 was awarded the rooster as prize.
If Ben's appetite keeps up he should
be an expensive fowl to keep through
the winter.-Kansas City Times.
