Foreman of The Times Composing Room

to crawl out on the wing of a plane
5000 feet above ground and mend a
broken strut, he pulls himself back
over the rail, leaps to his feet, swings
a right-hand smash to the jaw, and
John Chinaman goes out for the long
count.
Without a seconds pause Kimball
is away for the basement of the
building to see what has happened
to Madeline. Fortunately he had
hauled her up but a few feet when
he was attacked and forced to re-
lease his hold on the rope, so he
thinks she cannot have been much
injured by the fall
As he reaches the main floor he
sees signs of commotion, people run
ming and excitedly asking questions,
but all gravitating, as is the way Of
crowds, toward the center Of excite
ment. Forcing his way along, he
reaches the door of the crypt just as
the rescuer of Madeline appears
with the unconscious girl in his
arms. He has stopped in his work
of succor only long enough to pocket
one Of the bottles stored in the cis-
tern.
Madeline cries the young man,
are you hurt badly
She is unconscious from a fall
says the rescuer: then-''you know
her?'
But Kimbal is in no humor to an
swer questions with Madeline appsr-
entity seriously injured. His thoughts
are all for her.
where can we carry her? III tell
you all about the affair later"
Bring her in here" cries some
one, and Madeline is placed on a
couch in the office of the Chief Clerk
Of the Supreme Court.
KimbalPs concern for the girl, and
his uniform with his croix de guerre,
elicit aid from everyone. The gen.
tleman of the Prince Albert and
general Daniel Webster aspect prof
fcrs his bottle with the suggestion
to KimLall that he try the efficacy
of a little spiritus frumenti as a
restorative. Frank demurs, know
ing Madeline's sentiments, but
thinks perhaps it is permissible
under the circumstances. Before it
can be tried there is a movement in

from It 10 control the motions of the
tongue and lips produces motor
aphasia.
"Miss Connor knows what she
wishes 10 say, but is unable to say
it. She is able 10 talk, but not say
the word she wishes. The auditory
center, or that portion Of the brain
which intellectually hears and un-
derstands spoken speech, is in the
first temporal convolution. Any de-
feet of this center, or Of the fibers
which go from it to the motor
speech center, produces what is
known as word d-deafness. In this
form, the person may hear perfect
ly well, may read and speak, but
does not understand spoken Ian
guagc. 1t is as though she were
listening to a foreign tongue.
The sounds of the words con-
vey no meaning to her. There
are varying degrees in this affection
as we'll, from slight attacks in which
only certain words lose their sig
nifiCance, to complete loss of the
understanding of spoken language.

car and get her to a hospital"
"By ell means, doctor, if you
think that is the right thing to do"
says Kimball.
Here, I'll carry her." announces
the aviator as the man of the bottle
seems disposed to take that duty on
himself.
Ten minutes later they are at
Sibley Hospital, and an efficient su-
perintendent has seen the party to
a room and a couple of alert, trim
nurses have set about making the
patient comfortable.
Fuller and Snyder, who have hung
about the outskirts of the crowd
around the door of the Chief
Clerks room, get busy with the de-
parture of Kimball, who is the only
person likely to connect them with
the train of circumstances leading
up to the injury of the fair Made
line.
"Sibley Hospital, Snyder, remem-
Der that name!" whispered Fuller,
as they make their way from the
building. "Wu Tsang will want to
know where the girl is when he
hears she has been released from
the cistern."
"Yes, but I'm glad of one thing,
Fuller-he can't say we bungled
this job for him. Who would have
thought that any guy would be
using that cistcrn as a cache for
liquor. That's al that saved her"
Though the pair had heard the
Prince Albert gentleman proudly re-
lating the circumstances attending
on his rescue of the girl, they were
not aware Kimball had discovered
Madeline's presence in the cistern,
or that one of their yellow 2onfed-
crates had endeavOred to hurl the
aviator headlong from the dome.
Still talking in subdued tones of
the events of the morning and of
the probability of finding the paper
which had blown away from the
house in Virginia, the pair make
their way toward Pennsylvania ave
nue.. Here they find moro excite
ment-a crowd surrounds two Chi
The Washington times., 1919-02-14

In an office building within a
block of the Capitol a man reclines
in a chair with his feet hooked over
the edge of a desk. He wears the
Prince Albert coat, the striped trou-
sers, the broad-brimmed hat, and al
the rest of the sartorial appurte-
nances which have long been associ-
ated in the public mind with tie
American statesman.
Yawning, he pulls open drawer
and takes from it a bottle bearing
a label made famous by being found
in quantity in one Of the lavatories
of that famous building just after
the city had been voted dry.
He holds it TO the light, finds "
empty, and tosses it into the waste
basket. No great matter. He knows
where there is more.
He leaves the building by a door
at the corner, crosses the plaza, and
enters the Capitol by lower door.
The doorkeeper looks up from the
engaging pastime of watching his
pet cat finish a quick lunch Of va
grant mouse of brownish hue, ana
makes obeisance to him who givetn
and taketh the jobs of doorkeepers.
The seeker of relief from aridity
descends as one who treads familiar
paths to that selfsame room wherein
the hapless Madeline has just been
immured in a cistern, to find the Vay
blocked by an assortment Of old o.
fee furniture. 1t is an easy matter
for him TO procure help TO remove
the barrier, though in his irritation
at the delay he promises himself TO
complain TO the superintendent OF
the building.
A key at the end of his watch
chain opens the door, and he stag
gers back in surprise as a girl tum-
bles head first to the floor before
him, as though fallen from the hea-
Yens.
