We all went up to Lucy's room. Ar.
thur by direction remained outside,
Lucy turned her head and looked at
US, but said nothing. She was not
asleep, but she was simply too weak
to make the effort. Her eyes spoke
to US; that was all. Van HelsinR took
some things from his bag and laid
them on a little table out of sight.
Then he mixed a narcotic. and COM
ing over to the bed, said cheerily:
Now, little misA here is your medl;
cine. Drink II off, like a good child.
See, lift you so that to swallow is
easy. Yes" She had made the effort
with success.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
THAT MEANS LIFE Or
1t astonIshed me how long the drus
took to act. This. in fact, marked
the extent of her weakness. The time
seemed endless until sleep began to
flicker in her eyelids. At last, how
ever, the narcotic began to manifest
its potency; and she fell into a deep
sleep. When the professor was salts
fed he called Arthur into the room
and bade him strip off his coat. Then
he added: "You may take that one lit
tie kiss while bring over the table.
Friend John, help to me" So neither
OF US looked whilst he bent over her.
Van HeIsing turning to me, said:
"He is SO young and strong and of
blood so pure that We need not de-
fibrinate it."
Then with swiftness, but with abso
lutte method, Van Helsing performed
the operation. As the TRANSMISSION went
on something like life seemed to'come
back TO poor Lucys cheeks, and

Joy OF his face seemed absolutely to

MARKS COME ON NECK
IN FOR INVESTIGATION.

When Arthur had gone I went back
20 the room. Lucy was sleeping
gently. but her breathing was
stronger; could see the counterpart
move as her breast heaved. By the
bedside sat Van Helsing, looking a
her intently. The velvet band agair
covered the red mark. I asked tn,
professor in a whisper:
What do you make OF that mark
on her throat"
What do you make OF it?"

swered. and then and there proceeded
to loose the band. Just over the ex-
ternal jugular vein there were two
punctures, not large, but not whole

disease, but the edges were white and
worn looking, as IL by some tritura
tion. II an once occurred to, me thai
this wound. or whatever IL was, might
be the means OF that manifest loss OF
blood; but i abandoned the idea a.
soon as formed. for such a thing coul6
not be. The whole bed would have
been drenched to a scarlet with tn,
blood which the girl must have lost
TO leave such a pallor as she had be-
fore the TRANSMISSION.
"WeIl7" said Van HelsIng.

The attention of this office has been

concerned will shrink from taking any
initiative in the matter
The ideal system of exemption
would be one in which the government
alone would be the moving party. This
is, of course, impossible. Not only
would the people resent an linguistic

boards, but also the time limits are
