Barbara receives and prints in her loVelorn column many letters from a girl named Nioletta. When SIC sees the announcement Of Brucc's marriage to VIOLETTA CRANBY, a factory girl, she realizes that through her column she has direct cd Violetta's campaign to catch him
 Barbara's mother is taken very i'll.
 In the building where Drucc's firm has it's offices, Barbara sees Man rers, the senior partner, crawling down the fire escape. His steno- grapher has just told her he was out of town.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER NXVIII
 Manners crcpt past the window without seeing her, and on down the fire escape. Barbara stood still on the stair landing.
 At last she caught her breath and started back down the stairs at a run. She reached the front sidewalk just in time to sle . taXicab turn into the alley which led to the fire es- cape at the back Of the building.
 Barbara hailed another taxi, Her cab wheeled into the alley as Man. ners' cab left it at the other end. She called to the driver 10 hurry and then settled back in the ton neau.
 They came out into the street at the end of the alley. Manners cab was not far ahead Barbara's driver vas speeding, but the car ahead in creased it's speed also. She expected it to turn toward the railroad sta ton, but it did not.
 The cha5o went on through the streets of the city and out into the country, Barbara was beginning to wonder whether Manners meant 10 travel across country in q hired cab, when she noticed that they were following the railroad tracks. A whistle sounded not far away.
 The car ahead shot forward, cut siiewise suddenly and came to a stop exactly on the railroad tracks Barbara thrust her head out of the

way again.
 AS it shot past, Barbara " Man. ners hurl something at the cab driN. CT from the platform on which he stood. The man picked up the ob- j. ct. pocketed it and trove awty.
 Barbara's driver put lis head through the window. "Whcre to now miss"
 Tack to the Telegraph office as fast as possible"
 Every telephone was in use when ',e entered the editorial room. She ierked Jimmy bodily out of the dic- tation booth and called the New I'ritain Trust Co.
 The cashier there was friend oT hers. Have you heard anything about the Manners, Stone and Key holds bunch?" she asked him "Whcre is Manners?' Haven't heard anything about the company" he replied, but Man ncrs himself just closed his account and beat it in a great hurry. Queer proceeding all the way through. Whats up?"
 But Barbara had replaced the re- ccivcr.
 MtDermott was busy with caller when she left the telephone booth. She paced the office restlessly, So that Miss Badger gave her q lisap. proving look, and Jimmy asked what was the matter. i At last the caller departed and Barbara burst into the managing editors office. He looked up startl- cd. She was not in the habit of en- tering so violently.
 I'd rather not tell you this, she said, flor many reasons. But l must. Manners just skipped town with his baggage. His bank says he closed his account this afternoon And his office is telling everyone that he's been out of town several days"
 McDarmott slowly laid down his pipe.
 Eat so?" he asked. His eyes were curiously sleepy.
 Barbara clasped her hands. "Bof

 Barbara did not sreall. McDer. mott picked up his pipe ;.gain. I'm telling you, the Widow Stacy Is a man eater. Tn, SC she cant kiss, she kills"
 Wells and the foreman entered the office. Going to extra, boys, just as soon as we get the last dope on this Vale Acres gang. Miss Hawley saw Manners skip town in a taxi, and says his office is lying about his whereabouts.
 Get ready and wait for orders. You, Wells, look up all we've print cd on the project so far, and get the names of heavy investors. Ought 10 be a sucker list that will knock their eyes out Miss Hawley, you , call Manners home and ask about him, then rush over to see Stone and Reynolds and report what they say at once"
 His office was cleared. Barbara found herself in the elevator going down within a moment or two. She dared not think of what lay ahead. She climbed the steps in the Professional building for the third time that day, and found the hall outside the Manners, Stone and Rey- holds office deserted.
 The reception office was also empty when she went into it.
 The naughty stenographer entered from an inner corridor. T told you MT. Manners was not in town" she snapped before Barbara had time to speak. He has been gone for three days and will not be back for three more" She slammed a dictionary

\ SURPRISE
 This is the next 10 the last chapter of "Cosettes Christmas. If you have saved the paper dolls for the past two weeks, tomorrow you will have complete set with which to act out this story,
 No one had noticed that the stranger was not present during Cosettes theft of the doll. In fact, he had left quietly while she was playing with the lead sword. Cosette now looked about for him, thinking perhaps this kind friend would in some way comfort her, but he was nowhere 10 be seen. The landlady now began to complain that he had left without paying for his supper, although it was still there on the table just barely begun, and his knapsack lay in the corner. Then the latch turned on the door and it swung back heavily. The stranger entered and his eyes sought Cosette's corner. She was still there, Ter eyes looking big and frightened after her scoldins. Under his arm the stranger carried a large cardbox box.
 tThis Is the lead sword. The dress is dull green. The sword steel gray. By fastening the dress on the sword you will see what sort of a doll Co., sette had to play with)

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH S. CUNNING Surgeon General, U. S. Public
 Health Service

You know that all living matter, animal or vegetable, is composed of cells. These cells are so tiny that they cannot be seen except with q powerful microscope.
 Each cell is composed of ma terial called protoplasm and each protoplasmic cell is a distinct indi- vidual with a life history of its own, It lives for period, reproduces its kind and 1t dies. It requires a cer- tain amount of heat or warmth, proper food and moisture in order to live.
 Communicable diseases are caused either directly or indirectly by the action of certain vegetable cells upon the animal cells of the body. These vegetable cells are called germs or bacteria, while not all of them are capable of causing disease, some of them being. as a matter of | fact, beneficial to man and others being harmless, there are still few which when introduced into the human body cause disease. There are also a few animal cells that cause communicable disease.

 Germs are too small 10 he rec 0gnized by the senses unless the mi croscope is used. yet they exist nrac- ticany everywhere. Germs are on the walls and the floors of build incs. they ride in dust particles through the air, they exist on ouI clothing, in our mouths, in praC- tically all water. in the surface soil and on the surface of our bodies.
 If the skin is cut or broken and the wound is not properly protected inflammation soon results unless thf skin is kept clean and free from germs,
 The skin of our bodies Is con. structod in such a way as to prevent inc entrance of disease germs into the system under ordinary cir cumstanccs. As long as the skin re mains unbrokcn or uniniurcd th' germs cannot enter the body througl tho skin.

the body arc able to multiply and for time at least overcome the re sistance of the human body cells and may cause any one of a num- bcr of the communicable diseases.
 Common Drinking Cup
 The common drinking cup is a fruitful source of disease germs.
 Ganish the common drinking cup from your schools and from the public drinking places in your com munity. Avoid dampness, damp clothes, damp bodies and damp utensils. Don't patronize any place where glasses and other eating and drinking utensils are not absolutely clean.
 Tn these days of sanitary drink ing cups, the insanitary drinking glass used by some dispensers of soft drinks is as antiquatcd and dan Ccrous as the old-fashioncd method of bleeding patients for any and all diseases.
 Avoid the common towel. Keep out of range of careless sneczcrs or coughors. A Handkerchief held over the mouth and nose when you snccze or cough will protect the people about you and prevent disease germs from travelling. Remember that cleanliness, fresh air, plenty of sunshine, the protect ing of others by keeping your mouth and nose covered with a handker- chief when you cough or sneeze, avoiding common drinking utensils and getting plenty of sleep will helr ! you 10 keep closed the main travelled roads along which march these harmful bacteria, the germs of dis. i ease.
