 Length Of Life
 The average length of human life in the sixteenth century was esti- mated to be between IS and 20 yearA At the close of the eighteenth cen tury, 1t was still less than 25 years land as late as 1900. it was between 45 and IS years in the United States. Comparing with these figures the present average length of life in the United States of little more than , 56 years, and remembering that ap- proximatcly 15 years has been added ! to the span of lifee since 1870 in the i United states and considering that f in India and Chia, for example, at the apresent time the average lengtl, of nfe still remains about 25 years, We can, in somey measure, appreciate the value of modern methods of pre- venting disease and of conserving iheulth and life.

Who They Are:
 HARRY MORTON. handsome, middle-aged. unmarried. attractive to women, who has lived in New Britain for 16 years without the town gossips learning either his past or his business. He has maintained an expensive apartment also In New York.
 AUDREY MORTON. his adopted daughter, who is wildly in love with him.
 MONA, a New York girl, who Also Is in love with him.. 1 JOHN PARRISH, Morton's secre- i tary.
 Stricken and jealous becarse sho sees Morton at wild party. Audrey runs away from home. After vain search, Morton gets word from Mona that she has news 6f Audrey. After midnight Morton and Parrish go to Nona's apartment, where she hands Morton a. letter from the missing girl.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY (The names and situations in this story are fictitious.)
 CHAPTER XIX
 Parrish moved away as Morton pulled the letter from its envelope. ! "Nona," it began. T have gone away from Mir Morton's home. l am writing this because l believe I can trust you, even though you love him, too. Maybe it is 10 your advantage that l should be away, but Mona. must ask you something ] asked you on the train the other night, but when l think it over, l do not be- lieve you answered mo. But I have seen MT. Morton with you, and seen him other places. and I must know - must! Please write to me here Mona, and tell me truthfully--what are his relations with you? Are they the same as with his other womer friends! I know this is a terrible thing for me to ask--but Mona, my heart is breaking! can trust you never to say anything about this: do not want him to know where am, nor anything about me now anyway"
 Morton turned to Parrish.
 John" said he, there's a tele, phone booth in the lobby downstairs Set that detective in New Britain tt on the telephone. Tell hin, 10 cal off his men. I've found out where Miss Morton is."
 Where is she?" cried Parrish eagerly.
 Morton silently handed him th' envelope of Audrey's letter ant pointed to the postmark.
 "Why, We were through there no an hour ago!" Parrish exclaimed.
 Morton nodded. And we'll b, there in about an hour more."" h. said.. "Tell the driver to make sur, that he has plenty of gas. We'll b' there long before daylight"
 As Parrish left Morton turned tt Mona.
 - I'm glad you did this, Mona" h, . said. But tell me something = Audrey made you her .confidant. sh' } asked you never to tel me. Woult } you mind telling me just why yo, DID tell me"
 Mona leaned softly against him

, what he wanted" Lillian went on, flor he demands beauty, brains, grace and grit all wrapped up in the same personality. and invested with imagination to boot. l believe that Mary will i'll the bill. If she doesn't I'm going to back her any way on my own account, for think shes good gamble. But don't say anything to Harriet about Verltzen until l tip you the word. Just pull the tremolo stop all she's worth upon the danger of thwarting the girl In this intense desire of hers. Remind her what's likely to happen when you batten the hatch down too strongly-forgiye me. don't need to give you any advice about ham ding Harriet" .
 Ut is a Rare Chance"
 "On the contrary" I said, "1 feel as if l needed barrel of 1t. But I'll remember to breathe no word of ve- ritzen, although l shall be wild with curiosity to know what he says Suppose he does approve Of her. What a chance to work under the direction of Q master like that!"
 Lillian shot an odd enigmatic glance nt me.
 "Yes, 1t Is a rare chance for any, body. In any line" she said slowly. and then she turned briskly back to- ward the staircase.
 Good luck with Sister Harriet" she called over her shoulder, and there was In her voice the note Of moclery, in which her unwarranted dislike of Mrs. Braithwaite generally releases itself.
 Thank you" returned mechan- ically, for my thoughts had not ad- vanced to my sister in law. but were still revolving around the wonderful opportunity which would be Mary Harrison's were she permitted 10 work under Philip veritzen.
 No one. not even my little mother, ever guessed the passion for the drama which was mine since child- hood. It was not an ambition to act - early realized that had no par ticular talent In that direction, but the mechanics of every theatrical performance which I saw, every drama which I read, were my joy and my torture. I would have been glad to have worked as the humblest scene shlfter could l have shared In the work of producing play. No wonder that as Journeyed toward the station where ] was 10 mee, Harriet I was determined that noth- ing should snatch from Mary Ear- rison's lips the cup which ct her ] age l would have paid any price tc : quaff.

Mrs. Ringneck had no business in the home of the Pheasant family. [ Like Bully the English Sparrow and Speckles the Starling. the Pheasants had been brought from across the great ocean by men. They were brought here to live in order that hunteEs .might shoot them in the name Of sport.
 iA Mir. and Mrs. Ringneck had acted from the first as if they owned the Green Meadows and the Green For est and the Old Orchard. This was especially true of Ringneck. There wasn't a bashful feather on him. He didn't care what other people thought about him so long as they admired him. He appeared to think that he had a right to anything he wanted. He was for all the world like Bully the English Sparrow on a large scale, and you know Bully meyer has been popular.
 Ii soon was clear that the Ring necks didn't care for the Green For est, They preferred 10 be on the edge of the Green Meadows or In the Old Pasture, Some; mes they went into the Green Forest, but for, no great distance. This was rather a relief to Mrs. Grouse, for she didn't like these newcomers at all.
 Bob White didn't like them any better than Mrs. Grouse. You see
 he found that MT. and Mrs. Ring.

 of food that he did and he saw

Llllian's Plan for Vcritzen to
 Tutor Mary.

Mary Harrison looked up at LII Han with wide, frightened eyes. Gradually there was being brought home 10 her the fact that Harriet Braithwalte, her aunt and benefact- ress, was suffering agonies of anxiety upon her account, and tho tender heart which the child concealed be- heath her flippant mask was being torn with remorse.
 Do you suppose I ought to go with Auntie Madge to meet herr" she asked.
 "No," Lillian and I uttered the decisive answer In duet, and Lillian explained the negative while l made myself ready for the trip to the rail- road station.
 Both your aunt and you arc too wrought up emotionally to gain any thing by seeing each other just now" she said. Besides" she eyed Mary narrowly. nodded her head as If satisfied at the tenseness of the girls figure, tho agitation depicted on her fact, II have something else for you to do while your Auntie stadge is gone"
 looked at her startled, guessing her plan. and minute later, accom- panying me down to the hall door, she confirmed my guess.
 Nothing like striking when the we'll known iron Is heated" she said q telephoned Philip Neritzen while we were out--no-Mary doesn't know it--and I shall take her over there in few minutes 10 get his verdict upon her. She's Just about tense enough to give him an ex- cellent Idea of the drama hidden In her"
 I repressed spoken. incredulous query, but Lillian answered my men, tal interrogation.
 "Don't Say Anything to Harriet"
 "Yes," she said. T know 1t sounds preposterous, this predicting Q bril-. liant success for girl upon one crude amateurish performance, sucl as Mary gave me, but - l never played a hunch wrong yet, and have one about her. Beside, she jus happens to fit in with an older, never realized idea of Philip Veritzen's You know the way he's picked III his finds-in stock--and vaudeville and always they've had some pro fessional experience.

 She laughed and looked up at him archly.

 Bub6nic plague has been wide spread throughout the world for years. During 1924. reports ol this disease were received by the public realth service from 49 countries or dependencies, including eases nt many important ports and shipping points.
 More than 100000 deaths from plague were reported during 1924 and there is little doubt that many more occurred. Nine countries in the western hemisphere Gncluding the United States) reported plague.
 Dubonic plague, formerly called the black death, has existed in the United States for more than 70 years. At one time or another, since { 1900. plague has been found in the states ot Washington, California, | Florida. Louisiana and Texas. Ships Qunrantincd An endemic focus of this diseafo thss existed in The ground squirrels of California for nearly twenty years, Two p,agut-intected ships arrived ss ports in the United States during the fiscal year 1885 and were. treat i cd in quarantine.

In both instances the public health service was asked to assume measures for it's suppress sion and did so al once, no human cases having occurred in either oi these cities. Thirty-thrce cases o' tbneurn onic plague with 3l deEth' and eight cases of buhonic plagu' with three deaths occurred in sLos Angeles, Calf, during the fisca Iycar.

 Morton smiled at her. Her face relaxed and she stood to ono side.
