CHAPTER II.

That deplorable passion for ad-
venture was by no means a dead
volcano as Topham Vinson sailed
forth with his extraordinary COM
panion. 1t was to be noticed that
he took with him a thick stick
instead of an umbrella. though
the deserted streets had become
moist with a midnight drizzle.
In a matter of seconds they had
both fetched up at brilliantly
lighted house, where a more than
usually obese policeman was al
ternately pounding on the door
and splitting the sober walking
with his whistle.
stop that internal row." cried
Doctor Dollar, with incensed au-
thority. "Out of the way with you
this is my house,"
And the home secretary arrived
just in time to divert the out
ragged officers attention by ask
ing what had happened, while the
doctor found his key.
Heaven only knows" said
the policeman, kicking some brok-
ell glass on one side. Murder,
1t sounds like; there's somebody
been loosing off"
And even as he spoke some
body loosed off again! The ter
rible report was followed by
screams within and a shower of
glass from the fanlight. But by
this time Doctor Dollar had his
latchkey in the lock. II the door
had opened outward, a tangled
trio would have fallen into the
street; as it was, it hardly would
open for the man in white who
was struggling with a woman Tin
red flanneD and boy Tin next
to nothing) on the mat.
Dollar exclaimed, Barton" in
blank amazement. But 1t was
not the unlucky Barton who had
run amuck.
On the stairs, at the end of the
narrow passage, they beheld an
enormous revolver, against a
background of pink sleeping
suit, with a ferocious eye looking
down the barrel.
The crime doctor slipped be-
tween everybody and the armed
Manipulating his head with an
expression that nobody else could
see.
"Ozzie, I'm surprised at you!"
they heard him say with sever
ity. II thought you were a bet
ter sportsman than to go playing
the fool the one night I'm out.
If you want to brighten people. do
1t where you don't damage their
property; if you mean murder,
I'm your mark, my lad! Aim at
my waistcoat buttons and per-
haps you'll get me in the mouth;
that's better; now blaze away"
But the pink-striped miscreant
was not lowering his barrel to i'm
prove his aim. He lowered it al
together. And his other wild
eye was open now, and both were
blinking with unlovely woe.
II didn't mean any HARM"
ne faltered. 1T was only a rag
and I'll pay for the door,"
It'll be a great rag, won't it,
IL you fire bang into your own
foot? Better give me that thing
before you do" Dollar held out
the steadiest of hands. Now
make yourself scarce"
The young man in pink stood
wildly staring, then fled upstairs
with a smothered sob.
After him, Barton, before he
does something silly" said the
doctor under his breath. "My
dear Mrs. Burton, you shall tell
me the whole thing in the morn
ing; go down to bed like a good
soul, Bobby"
He turned round as the unpre-
sentable pair made off. The street !
door was shut; the home secre-
tary had sole possession of the
mat.
Rather an unconvincing |
joke!" said the doctor, wiping
his forehead with the back of his
hand.

SALT DIET REDUCES
 DEADLY NIGHT SWEATS
GERMAN SURGEON MAKES RE VARIABLE AND VALUABLE
 DISCOVERY.

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-Eneouraging re- suits from the administration of com mon salt as remedy against the en. feebling night sweats of consumptiyes and against excessive precipitation in the case Of marching soldiers are re ported by Company Surgeon Link in an article in the Munich Medical Weekly.
 Sweat contains about six parts salt in the thousand A hard march of a few hours on a hot day results in the exudation of five to six hters Of sweat, with a salt content of 24 to 30 grams. A strong night sweat of a consumptive exudes as much as 212 liters, causing a salt loss of 15 grams This amount is far from unimportant. since the blood contains altogether only about 20 grams of salt, an amount 8 bout corresponding to the maximum daily consumption Of salt in foods
 Dr. Links first experiments were made with sufferers from tuberculo- sis. It occurred 10 him that their ex- cessiye fatigue mornings might well be due to the loss of salt, and that this might be counteracted by a salt ration. He began by giving a level teaspoonful of salt (about five grams) in a small glass of water just before patients retired. The result was a greater freshness and absence Of weariness on the following morn ing, but the patients either had no night sweats or else very slight ones. All patients except those suffering also from stomach catarrh and high fever stood the salt dosing without any i'll effects whatever.
 His experiments led Dr. Link to ex- pertinent with healthy persons, and especially soldiers. About 100 sol diers of one regiment were given teaspoonful of salt at 5:45 o'clock in the morning before beginning their days march After a march of near iy 20 miles in muggy weather the soldiers thus dosed exhibited much less fatigue than their comrades, and their precipitation was but a fraction of that of the others.

They Had Great DOings.

According to Dr, J. l.. Myers, the Masons and the Eastern Stars had a delightful time last evening at their hall where some eighty or more met. He says that they played all kinds of games; but that the best one of them all was the game they played on him. When pressed for a definition of what he called best game" he said that he had been given blue ticket" togeth- CT with a small case containing a salt and pepper cellars with the admon ition to take little salt occasionally that he might not get too fresh and to supplement this with a little pepper that he might get more pep" The Doctor says that it was a very pleas ant surprise to him. as it showed how much his friends thought of him. Dr. Myers leaves for Kansas within a week

London, Sept. 5.-The Trades Union
Congress, representing 100000 men,
rejected tonight the plan OF the
American Federation of Labor for a
joint labor and peace conference TO be
held Immediately after the conclusion
of the war.
Owing TO the fact that the American
proposal includes the bringing together
of workers from Germany and her al
lies, most of the delegates. in ad-
dressing the congress, declared it was
impossible for Britons to meet workers
Of the Central Powers for friendly dis
cusson of the labor programme until
the German democracy GiSavowed the
methods Of terrorism employed by
the German government in submarine
and Zeppelin attacks on undefended
ships and cities
William J. 1horne and George Henry
Roberts, members of Parliament,
seemed 10 express the general view
that the workers of Germany were
equally responsible with their rulers
for the war.
A determined stand for the nationali-
zatlon OF the railroads of Great Britain
was taken By the congress. which also
demanded voice IN their control for
the workers. The project for the crea-
.ion uf Ministry OF Labor also was APP
proved by large majority.
Assertions made by David Lloyd
