1.-The Fighting Trail"
Episode 2-''The Story of Ybarra'

Won Bleck walked hurriedly back
TO his office, donned his hat and coat,
and strobe out, leaving the others in
the inner office, comforting. That
could mean nothing until they heard
from their superior.
Ten minutes later, Won Bleck was
walking into the building in which
was located the office of John Gwyn.
He had, mapped carefully out in his
mind, proposition with which he in
tended to startle the young engineer.
II was proposition which would
make Gwyn independently wealthy
for the remainder of his life-and all
that would be necessary for him to
do would be to cancel the cinnabar
contract.
AS he passed through the revolv-
ing doors and walked toward the ele-
vators, crowd was surging toward
the street. One of these, young,
stalwarthy built man, who carried q
suit case, fairly rubbed arms with
the agent OF the Central Powers. 1t
was John Gwyn! Neither took par

but Mr.. Gwyn just left few min

up a few matters and left with his
suit case. Is 1t something important?
Perhaps I could help you. He has
left me in charge, and"
1T is important" Won Bleck
broke in, land can see no one but
Mr.. Gwyn himself. When does his
train leave?"
He goes on the Limited tonight,
was the reply.
Won Bleck was about to leave the
office, when his eye caught sight Of
a picture hanging on the wall in the
outer office. He walked over to II

see that he was not aroused by the

score, reached across his body to a
half opened suit case resting in a
rack near the window. Slowly and
carefully, so as not to awaken its
sleeping owner, he lifted the suit

to his own berth.
For quarter of an hour, Won

Won Block smiled with triumph as
he read the letter. 1t was the same
smile that had played about his lips
when he had met with his associates
earlier that day. He folded the paper
noselessly and replaced it in the en-
velope. Then, as IL realizing the
length Of time which he had kept
Gwyn's suit case, he put the packet
of letters back into the bottom of
the bag and stole cautiously down
the aisle to Gwyn's berth. A glance
assured him that its absence had not
been noticed. The young engineer
was still sleeping heavily. He had
been thoroughly tired by the siren
uous events of the previous day and
his hasty departure. 1t required but
moment for Won Bleck to lay the
suit case back on the rack near the
window, where he had found it. and
to hurry back to his own berth.
Gwyn arose early the following
morning, dressed, and used several
articles from his bag. He did not
notice that it has been tempered
with. In the wash room he met Won
Bleck, who was attending to his
toilet, and nodded to him. The lat
ter returned the salutation and
watched keenly from the corners OF
his eyes to see IL Gywn should APP
pear the least bit suspicious that his
belongings had been ransacked. He
was greatly relieved to learn that he
was not.
Early on the fourth day after
leaving New York. the Limited drew
into the little Western town of Bar
stow, at the foot OF the great range
OF Sierra Mountains. John Gwyn, his
bag packed and his wraps on, was
ready to alight and start on his i'm

engineer jumped lightly from tn;

DISEASE FOUND IN MEATS
Or. RavenaI Of State University Says
Trichinosis May Be Contracted
From UNDERGONE Pork.

"Trichinosis is a disease due to a
small worm called the Trichinella
Spiralis. While the parasite is found
in several animals, hogs are the chief
ones which ,are dangerous to man
kind" according to DR.. M. P. Rayenel
of the department of preventive medi-
cine Of the University Of Missouri.
The larvae are imbedded in the mus
cles Of the hogs, and in this animal do
not produce a recognizable disease.
When nan eats the meat the capsules
which enclose these larvae are dis
solved in the stomach. The larvae
find in the intestine a favorable place
for development, and in a few days be-
come visible to the naked eye, and
soon mature. The female worm pro-
duces about 500 young and these EN-
bryos pierce the wall Of the bowel,
and penetrate the tissues. They get
into the blood stream and are distrib.
uted to the muscles Of the body. It
takes from seven to nine days for this
to happen.
1.-THE disease is fairly common. The
Department Of Agriculture fornd the
parasite in over $1,000 out Of two and
one-quarter million hogs examined.
Often times the diagnosis is made by
examining some of the meat which
has been eaten by the patient.
