still, gloomily listening, I've got a
Word to say about that. l locked up
everything when l went upstairs at
shortly after eleven-thirty. The
whole family was up in their rooms
then. Now, my room is III the third
story front, which isn't a regular
story, this here house being a bunga-
loo. But it's loft, like, and com
Portable enough. Any way, that's
where I sleep, and it's right over the
front door. My window was open,
and if anybody had gone in or out
of that front door, I'd q heard them.
That door wasn't opened after 1
locked 1t that night, till 1 opened it
the next morning. l know, because
the chain bolt is out of order, and 1
plug little stick in it. Nobody
would do 1t exactly like I did, and
anyways, I just know that door
wasn't opened after locked it up"
Very WELL Herrick, but maybe
Miss Moore let Mr.. Heath out by
window"
"I'd a heard it if she had I tell
YOU sir I'm a light sleeper, and
I've always got my ears open for
burglars, and l tell you there
wouldn't have been a door or win
dow open in this house that night,
thout heard it,"
did you hear Emma open the
door for Katie?"
Course 1 did, Herrick looked
contemptuous. THAT Emma, she
thinks she's so quiet, She goes
downstairs like hod-carrier, and
she opens that back door so careful
that she takes about ten minutes to
do it! Last night it stuck little
and she had to jerk it open--ain't
that so, Emp"
Yes" and the girl looked her as1
tonishment.
Yes, it's so. And l was thinkin
happened put it. clear out of my
mind"
How about the studio French
windows? Couldn't a man leave the
house that way?"
"They all squeak, every one of
Them" Herricl averred. i've been
meaning to get 'em fixed, but I just
haven't. But they squeak somethin
awful! If you don't believe that,
Mr.. Detective, you just try them"
Then, Herrick," Mott turned on
him, "how did Mr.. Heath get out?
Emma heard him talking after -,
that was after you locked up, and
yet he was gone in the morning.
How did he get out?"
That's what's botherin' me, sir"
and Herrick looked awestruck. 81
say, how could he get out? The
cellarway was locked inside. Every
door and window was fastened in
the morning when l came down
stairs. I'd a heard any of 'em if
they was opened in the night. l
don't know, sir, how he did get OUT
do you think the man Jimmy
Lomax saw was Mr.. Heath?"
II don't think so, no, sir. Cause
why, how could it be? Mr. Heath,
he couldn't get out, sir.
Then is he in the house yet?

where"
Absurd. my man, That couldn't

"All right sir, but you asked me

PROTECTION FROM
 I. B. INFECTION
Guarding Of Children and Babies Urged With Meeting |,

Washington, Oct. P)-Protec. ton of school children and babies against tuberculosis was urged today as the most immediate and valua ble method for controlling the ravages of that disease by speakers at the -2nd annual meeting of the Ma tlonal Tuberculosis association.
 Dr. James H. Elliott. of Toronto. said that a program for control of the disease in childhood must in- clude the discovery and supervision Of all open cases. isolation of far advanced cases in contact with chiI- dren, examination of all children in contact with afflicted persons, fre- Quent periodic examination of all children of school age and even of pre-school age, and the adequate treatment of all physical defects in childhood. This system, he added. had reduced the tuberculosis death rate among children in Toronto from 240 per 100000 to as low as 65 per 100, ,000.
 Dr. Donald E. Armstrong de- scribed the health demonstration of Birmingham. Mass, by which the death rate was reduced from 121 per 100000 to 40 in even years.
 Delegates were told by Professor Friedrich Non Muller, University of Munich, of the cooperation of art and science in the evolution of a new method to aid physicians in discovering tuberculosis in the early stages. He said that in developing this he was assisted by Adolf Busch, celebrated German violinist, through whose nicely attuned ear the various chest sounds were charted for in- depreciation with greater accuracy than hitherto possible, he had fixed the base note characteristic of the healthy lung.
