A gripping story by Alan Sullivan,
in Everybody's Magazine, is based on
the transplanting of monkey glands.
Jennison, the biologist in the story,
says:
"When you have planted the thyroid
gland of an ape, you may possibly
transplant his instincts. We were all
apes once. Some of US moved on;
some stayed behind.
"You surgeons dabble your red
fingers in tissues and glands that may
possess a potency beyond your Wild
est thoughts. You work somewhere
along the line between the known and
the unknown. Is it not possible to
prolong life at the cost of that which
is worth more than mere existenceT

Roads Post To S. A. Green.

Governor Richie announced the
appointment of Samuel A Green to
be Roads Engineer for Baltimore
county, to succeed Henry G. Shirley,
resigned. Mr.. Green has for some
years past been the assistant engi-
neer in the Office.
There has been a hot fight over the
filling of the place, and the County
Commissioners a few days ago called
on the Governor and asked for the
appointment of P. G. Painter, an en-
gineer of much experience now serv-
ing as City Manager for the town of
Greensboro, N. C. Two of the five
Commissioners had voted for Mr..
Green, but as the majority favored
Mr. Painter they had agreed to make
the Endorsement unanimous.
The decision of the Governor is
bound to precipitate fight in the
county, and it may extend to the
next election, when a county road
bond issue will be put up for ratifca-
ton. The salary of the Engineer is
fixed by the County Commissioners,
even though the appointment is made
by the Governor. Mr.. Shirley re-
ceived $4,000 a year.
The Governor directed the follow
ing letter to President William F.
Coghlan, of the Board of County
Commissioners, explaining and an
nouncing the appointment.
II beg to advise the Board OF
County Commissioners that, pursu-
ant to the authority conferred upon
me by Act of 1922, Chapter 1855,
amending Section 400 of Offutt's
Code, l hereby appoint Mr. Samuela
A. Green, of Towson, roads engineer
for Baltimore county to fill the va
cancy in said Office caused by the
resignation on July 1, 1922, of Mr..
Henry G. Shirley.
II regret that this appointment
does not follow the recommendation
made to me by your board under
date or June 81, 1917.
81 understand, however, that Mr..
Green is the first choice of two of
the five members of your board, who.
in the interest of unanimity. yielded
heir judgment on the question to
that of the other three.
"Mr. Green's professional qualif-
cations for the work and his expert
snce are strongly Endorsed by Mr..
Shirley, who is certainly in a position
to know them"
These are the circumstances
which lead me to appoint Mr.. Green
even though he is the first choice OF
only two instead of majority or
three of the board"

There was gloomy silence In the

side. Larry Bishop crouched low In
Jeremiah's rocking chair, pulling In
nervous tension at his fingers until
the joints cracked. He shot Polly
Hopkins a furtive glance but dropped
his thick lids before the unearthly ex-
preston In the girls eyes. She had
lost the look of heavenly compassion
that had given cheer to the squatters.
As his mind went back to the spring
days when she had so often smiled
comfort into his own aching heart, he
heaved a deep sigh. The sound of his
breath, catching in his throat, brought
Polly scrambllng from the cot.
Unmindful of the morose squatter,
she began pacing the floor. holding Icy
fingers to her aching temples.
BEST take the pillows ofrn her,
Poll" muttered Bishop. "She'll smoth-
err If you don't"
The girl paused and threw him
glance over her shoulder.
Get out of here, you Larry" she
babe him In fierce emphasis. "She'd
better smother than get what's comm

of Jerry's going she could hear
through the moaning willows the
weird last cries Of the baby. The
memory almost drew a shrek from
her. Then she rolled the living bundle
from the bed and propped In into a
sitting position.
AS wickedly deliberate as her every
act had been, so did she lift the AK
from the floor
Like a chicken" she tainted, smil-
Ing down into Evelyn's haggard face.
Evelyn struggled, and a muffled
sound came from back of the gag In
her mouth.
While Polly contemplated her, an
emotion she used to know so often
rose within her and tugged at her
heart until the hurt made her clutch
at her side. She dropped down and
ran her fingers under the heavy cord
with which the girl was bound.
Ropes hurtin' you. huh7" she
queried.
An affirmative bob Of her head was
the only answer Mrs. Mackenzie could
give.
'Tll undo 'em a bit," said Polly
sulklly. "Loosenin' up a few strings
don't say you won't get what's comm
to you"
With her strong. white teeth and
deft fingers she united the heavy
knots that pinioned the slender arms.

thing to eatr she asked, rocking back
on her heels. IF you was in Larrys
hut SO long with that thing in your
mouth, then I bet you're hungry"
1t was scarcely perceptible. the
negative shake that followed this
question.
If you've got to die you might as
well go on full belly" ended Polly,
getting up.
She took piece of hard bread and
poured some hot water on it. Watch
ing Evelyn frowningly, she beat them,
together with tin spoon. OF course.
the stuff was tasteless without sugar.
Polly knew IL very well, because that
was what she had for supper every
night.
She turned away from the cup in
her hand and went to a small cup
board over which hung a f1imsy cur
tain. Back behind a few old dishes
she had hidden little sugar one OF
the squntter women had given her.
She had kept 1t against Daddy Hop
kins' homecoming and Cor Jerry, too
perhaps. With woeful n-caught sobs
she poured half of n into the cup.
Then she crossed to Evelyn and picked
up the AK.
'I'm goin' to take this rag out of
your mouth" she said, "an' mind you
don't squsal, or I'll send you double

through the room.
A long deep sigh fell from her lips
