fortunate peer was terrified. He didn't
care so much whether six daughters
were poisoned; what he feared was
that the incident would get into the
papers. 1 had to do everything. to
telephone for an ambulance, to ring
the bell for the palpitating marquis
so that he might order his car.
Finally. I got him and the vehicles
off 20 the hospital. OF one thing 1
felt sure: if Lady Grace were still
sleepy from the effects of 1audanum,
I had sent her somebody who would
wake her up.
Now came the more delicate part
of the business. 1 had to find Mr.
Scarlati, which was easy, and to
bring him back to the lady with
whose karma l had interfered. Here
was a difficult job. but by saving
the girls life 1 had made myself re
sponsible for it If I didn't want to
trouble myself with her, then I
ought to have been like the goggler,
avoided getting myself mixed up.
Moreover, the situation struck me
as most unpleasant. | have no

Italian pianists. The idea of remit

grinder was not attractive. I wasn't
at all sure that 1t wouldn't have
been better If she'd committed suicide,
rather than marry him. Only she's
tried to commit suicide because she
couldn't marry him. There was no
doubling. I must hand her over, if
could, to the rolling eye and the raven
locks. Disgusting! Still, it was the
man who'd broken the match off; he
was no fortune hunteEss. perhaps
Scarlati was a decent sort.
He was easily located, for two
days before he had given a recital
at the Albert Hall, where I obtained
the name of his hotel. At this
hotel, however, a great disappoint-
ment would have overwhelmed me
if the habit OF adventure had not
made me cautious. Realizing that
my mission was delicate, and that
it might not be easy to see Scarlati,
I decided to impersonate one of the
employees Of the concert agency which
dealt with Scarlati's affairs. Thus,
I still had some sort of status when
the reception clerk informed me that
MI. Scarlati had left the hotel by a
morning train.

part, that's very extraordinary. We

Unfortunately not all tuberculosis
stories have such happy endings In
small southern Wisconsin town there
lives a sad little woman, who looks
much older than her actual years.
Years ago she was happy mother
with six healthy youngsters. Then
there came to the farm, straight from
Norway, a pleasant young. farm hand.
The children grew fond of him and
played with him during the long win
ter evenings. In those days little at
tention was paid to the kind of ling
ering cough the lad had. Within two
years the young farm hand died, after
having infected all the children, every
one of whom subsequently died of
tuberculosis.
Preventable even Is years ago, such
tragedies are doubly preventable now.
Today, financed by funds raised by the
sale of penny Christmas seals. the

ton holds free chest clinics all over
the state for the purpose of discover
ing the disease before it is too late.

is all its work, by the Christmas seal,

tional work, teaching people how to

And recently the same reporter called
the same newspaper from the same
place to turn in similar story in
commemoration.
On Feb. IL, 1877, the telephone was
introduced to the public in a lecture
by Alexander Graham Bell before the
Essex institute in Lyceum hall, Salem
Mass. After the meeting Henry M

respondent for the Boston Globe, call

Bells Boston laboratory for the pur-

Salem meeting over the telephone that
Bell had been using to illustrate his
lecture. 1t appeared in the next morn

Recently there was held in Salem a
public meeting of great interest in
telephone history. More than Is peo-

Some argue that an elevator is in the

say that it is in the class of the
street. However all etiquette authori-
ties regard the elevator as a small
room, inasmuch as it has ceiling,
and the courteous man should remove
his hat especially while there are
women in it. If the gentleman wishes
and there are no ladies in the car
he may remove his hat upon entering
