THE leather upholstered chairs on
both sides Of DR.. John Landrith's
= comfortable office were filled;
and very prosperous looking occupants
they were. DR.. Landrith was certainly
busy and supremely successful.
The door, marked private, opened
quietly, and small. unobtrusive
young lady stepped out and closed It
again. Margaret Crofton was model
Of neatness from the top OF her golden
crowned head to the tips Of her small
shoes. She had that cheerful air that
Immediately made. everybody feel at
home. Yet any one who looked into
the depths Of her blue eyes could see
personality and a soul.
With half bow she motioned to a
gentleman on the opposite side Of the
room. Mr.. Cornelius, the doctor is
ready for you now"
But before he had risen, richly
dressed young lady swept haughtily
across the room and paused before the
closed door Unconcealed disdain re.
Elected from her cold, black eyes as she
condescendingly spoke to the girl.
Tell DR.. Landrith that Miss Harcourt
will see him Immediately"
A strange light, that seemed to mar
her whole face, shone for moment in
Margaret's eyes, then was replaced by
an inscrutable smile. She bowed and
entered the room. a moment later re-
opening the door for Miss Harcourt to
enter.
A few days later DR.. Landrith, un-
bent from close study Of bacteria, got
up from his chair. He moved quickly
toward the window with the energy
characteristic of him. No one could
look at this young physicians power.

without feeling of admiration. When
he spoke he shot the words from his
square jaws with the rapidity Of ma
chine gun. The doctor hated idleness
or inaction. But now something spe-
cial seemed to trouble his mind, He
walked several times across the room,
then pressed button on his desk. Inn

secretary she was ready for service at
any moment. While waiting for him

She slipped out Of the room and re-

drink.

Having drunk the beverage and re-
seated herself in his chair the doctor
seemed little less restless. He turned
toward Margaret in rather business
like way.

InfantiIe paralysis most frequently
attacks babies and young children
Nine-tenths of the patients are under
five years of age.
No class of children seem to be in'
mune to this disease. Those who live
in the better quarters and those who
live in the poorer quarters may equally
be victims.
The disease may be mild or Sc
we're. Sometimes 1t is so mild that
recoverey takes place in few days
At other times death takes place in q
few hours or few days.
The exact manner in which infan
tile paralysis is spread is not known
1t is known that the disease can be
communicated from man to monkeys
by negotiating the monkey with an
extract made from the affected spinal
cord This extract has been obtained
from a person sick with infantile pa
ralysis.
1t is believed that the secretions
from the mouth and throat are the
biggest factor in the spread of the
disease. Persons VIII ohave recov'
cred from mild attack and others
who carry the germ of the disease
but who are not sick themselves. make
ND a class known as carriers and
probably play a part in spreading in
