to happen at once: the steel gate
opened; the helpless man was dragged
in, and, as the gate fell to, there
came Raymond Heritage's scream.
Jane shook from head to foot. The
scream cut like a knife. Why did
she scream like that? Who was It?
Who was 1t? Who was 1t? She got
her answer in Raymonds gasp OF

and could not move. / suppose that
in that moment she knew that she
really loved Henry. 1t hurt-dread-
fully.
Then she heard Raymond's voice
again:
What have you done to him?
Devils, devils!" And Ember:

He's not dead. nothing so crude. Mr..
Belcovitch is an artist, and Capt.

consciousness. Henry wasn't dead
The dark was only a dream, and she
was awake again. She was very
much awake, and her whole waking
thought was bent upon the necessity
of getting help for Henry before that
dream came true.
Ember and Belcovitch would murder
him If they had time. Raymond would
make what time she could, but in the
end they would murder him unless
Jane could get help.
She turned, holding to the wall, and
moved along the passage. When she
had taken a step or two something
happened which she could never
think of without elf-abasement. Her
nerve went suddenly, and she began
to run. 1t was only for a dozen steps
then her self-control came into play

round to Belcoyitch.

ing the safe ajar behind him.

her eyes.
When Jane started to run down the
laboratory passage Jeffery Ember
was experimenting the removal of
the black silk muffier from Henry's neck
When they rolled Henry over on to
his face he groaned, and when they
tied his hands behind his back with
the muffler he tried to kick, where
upon Ember produced a piece of rope
and they tied his ankles, too.
The sound of James running feet
had come very family upon Embers s
ear. Henry was groaning and kick
ing, and Belcovitch was cursing in a
steady undertone. 1t was not until
he rose to get the piece Of rope that
his mind took hold of that faint sound
and began to analyze 1t. There had
been a sound in the passage outside
some one moving-some one running.

of the way, reached the steps, and
came out into the empty hall dirty

AS soon as she had the panel shut
she ran across the hall and down the
corridor to the library. She shut the
library door with a sharp push. and
was across the room and taking down
the telephone receiver before the
sound of the bang had died away.
"Exchange!" she said, Exchange"
and clenched her hand as she waited
for the reply. 1t came with dreamy

could hear Isobel saying, piggy,

sounds, on the extreme edge of what
was perceptible, she heard the click
OF the panel and Embers footsteps
as he crossed the polished floor. She
knew that they were Ember's foot

nearer.

CHILD HEALTH DAY
sPLANS BEING MADE
III
observance TO Be Held May |
/ Has Several Associations
/ as Sponsors.

G5 National, State and local organiZa-
ttions interested in child health are
busily at work on plans for celebrat-
ing Friday, May /, as Child Health
day, observance of which was insti
+tuted last year.
Among those taking a prominent
part in making early arrangements
Tor the day are: The General Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs, National Com
gress of Parents and Teachers, Amer
lean Red Cross, American Legion, Boy
Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of
America. National Playground and
Recreation Association, National Am
ateur Athletic Federation, National
tuberculosis Association, National
Child Welfare Association and Life Ex-
tension Institute.
Work With Health Officer.
These associations, it was stated, are
working in close harmony with pub
lie health authorities, most of the
State chairmen for the occasion being
officers Of several State health depart
ments. The United States Public
Health Service. the Childrens Bureau
of the Department of Labor, the Ex-
tension Service of the Department of
Agriculture and other Federal
egencies are participating.
The observance of May day-Child
Health day-was approved by Presi-
dent Coolidge when it was instituted
last year, and over 40 State executives
issued proclamations and otherwise
called upon the people to give some
thought to child health. Nearly d
thousand cities and towns organized
celebrations.
Much permanent good grew out of
these obseryances of the day, said a
spokesman for the movement. The
health department of the State of
Maine used the occasion to launch
its program for crippled children, five
counties in Kansas opened baby
clinics, one city inaugurated a service
of iodine treatment to combat goiter
in children, another conducted Is
health conferences for pre-school chill

STEPS TAKEN TO REVISE
CONSTITUTION OF FRANCE
Bill in Chamber of Deputies Would
Curtail Senate's Budget Power
and Cabinet Control.
By the Associated Press.

DE Ine AseocIAteu fFesS.
PARIS. March .21.-The agitation
for revision of the constitution. which
has been most active since the pre- sent
governmer- assumed power. took
substantial form today when a bill
providing for revision was intro
duced in the Chamber of Deputies 1t
was given preliminary study by the
universal suffrage commission Of Par
lament, and DeHuty Bonnet, a MEM
Der of the government majority. was
appointed as reporter, with instruc-
tions TO present a report with the
shortest possible delay.
The bill calls for considerable cur
tailment Of the Senate's present pre-
negatives as regards the budget. and
would also withhold from the Senate
the power to overthrow the cabinet.
This nower has been exercised twice
since the creation of the third re-
public.

as to how the dirt roads might be
improved. The dirt roads of the state
are not in our jurisdiction and we
could not possibly begin to handle
them at present, but from time to
time, if we had the authority, might
help to improve some of them and
thus add to the conveniences of farm
ers living on these side roads"
There was a bill authorizing the.
taking over Of certain authority in re.
gard to dirt roads presented to the
Legislature at its last session but the
bill didn't pass. 1t is likely that a
similar measure will be introduced at
the next General Assembly and by
that time, some definite information
regarding improving dirt roads may
be available.
At this time the Highway Depart
ment has built a Stag road, compOs-
ed of Stag and dirt, and which next
spring will be ready for some con-
clusiOn as to its value. If this sample
of road should prove a money saver
then more might be built, but the
ordinary dirt road, as now construct
ed of gravel, is another proposition.
Most of these dirt roads are gravel
-leveled off, and the modern ones
are covered with oil or calcium chic
ride, which serves in some states and
localities as a sort of binder.

FINISH THOMPSONvILLE ROAD
New Highway Will be Opened to the
Public About the First of Year

The last section of concrete was
laid on the Thompsonville Road in
Milford Neck last week. The con-
tractors are now busy building the
shoulders on the road, and expect to
complete the work early in coming
year; provided the weather is such
that they may work steadily on the
job. The new highway has been open
for some time at the eastern end, but
the bridge over the stream on the
DR. Rhodes farm held up work on the
upper end until the bridgewOrk was
completed. The opening of the new
road will shorten the distance to
Thompsonville considerably. 1t prac-
tically cuts Milford Neck in half, and
will give the residents of both sides
of the neck an outlet during the
worse weather. Milford Neck has
been badly in need of the road for
years. While the shoulders on the
road will not be completed for about
two months, the contractors will open
the highway to the public shortly af-
ter Christmas. The distance to Bow
ers Beach will be very much shortened
by the new road.

mine the value of reinforcing con-
crete highways with steel-the gen
eral supposition or hope being that
such roads would meet the extra ex-
pense of the steeel work through re-
duced maintenance.
Two Reinforced Roads Here
By reinforced roads is meant a sort
of lattice work of steel Stats or plates
placed in the foundation of the road
and which it was thought would pre-
vent cracking of concrete or at least
keep the cracks from spreading ex-
cessively. This fact really has been
accomplished in some stretches. but
the steel reinforced roads cost Della
ware $4,000 more a mile above the
other costs.
The investigation of such highways
will be continued in the hopes of per-
haps next year reaching some definite
conclusion about their value. In dis
cussing the work of the Research
Council, Mir. Mack said:
