 Although 1t was very pathetic and I wanted to cry, I could not help be- ing happy for I knew in my heart by these gestures, John achieved a great victory over himself.
 I was almost sure that he had nev- CT spoken of his shriveled arm and leg before in any way, and I was doubly sure that not to anyone in the world had he called particular atten- ton to them, and he had shown them to me when all the while l was the one person to whom he wished to appear Hike other men are.'

 "I really would never have thought about it at all, if you had not insisted upon dragging your con- dition into every conversation"

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

Mrs. Prentiss sees mysterious lights in the Heath household next door one night, and the next day agog with the murder of Myra Heath and the disappearance of her husband Perry.
 House guests of the Heaths are Lawrence 1nman, heir to Myra's fortune, and Bunny Moore, beauti- ful, vivacious, to whom suspicion points because of her strange ac tons.
 Myra Heath never used rouge, never wore colors yet when her body was found she was heavily rouged. She had mania for collect ing glass, and it was rare old bot tie from her collection that the murderer used to kill her. Candles were burning at her head and feet; nearby was a card marked, The Work of Perry Heath"
 The strange thing about Heath's disappearance Is that the windows and doors were locked on the inside the night before and were found that way in the morning. Finger prints of Bunny Moore and lnman were found on the bottle.
 At the Country club the murder is discussed by Sam Anderson, Heath's rival for the club presi- dency; Al Cunningham, who Is try ing to solve the crime, and others. Todhunter Buck, nephew of Mrs. Prentiss and in love with Bunny, believes Heath also may have been murdered.
 Bunny is amazed to get a phone call from Heath. He calls her again, saying Inman is guilty. Bunny faints under a grilling by Detective Mott. Inman confides to Buck that he saw Bunny ascending the stairs after the murder, and Mott ques- tons all the servants and tells them to keep silent. Katie, a maid tells of seeing a man leave the grounds the night of the murder. Mott is in- clined to think Bunny Is guilty.

 Why so?" asked Graywing, look ing little surprised.
 Because" replied Reddy, they have been smart enough to find shells that will protect them better than their own shells would, if they had any. None of their relatives have been smart enough to do that" ''Is that so?" exclaimed Graywing.

KIND WORDS FOR OLD DOBBIN

There are 100000 less horses in
this country today than there were 10
years ago, according to government
statistics. which prompts the dean OF
a great western agricultural college
to suggest national subsidy for the
horse industry. Perhaps, in the
greater production of horses, lies a
source of increased wealth for the
American farmer and planter.
1t is about time, at any rate, that
somebody stood up and said word
for Old Dobbin. He has been
squawked at by taxis, bitten at by
motor-trucks and driven from many
fashionable streets in our big cities.
He has been subjected to every
known equine indignity from being
made to wear nose-bag in public
to having his obituary printed in the
newspapers. But true virtue always
triumphs in the final reel, and the
horse. at last, has proved his right to
a permanent place in modern civil
cation.
He is not as strong or as fleet
as his great rival, the motor-car, but
he has a great deal more intelligence
In our large and crowded cities he is
more efficient than the automobile for
many duties, and in America today
anything that can add to our eff

Declares Motor Ships
Destroying Sea Life

A New York bank makes the an
nouncement that the oil-driven motor
ship is proving it's superiority over
the steamship and that motor ship
construction is increasing rapidly.
1t is to be regretted that the great.
err use of the motor ship means In
creasing destruction of sea life and
water fowl.
Various tests and Investigations
conducted by the government and
other agencies have proved that the
fishing industry of the United States,
with an approximate output of $780,
100000 annually, Is being seriously
crippled by oil pollution of waters
along the seaboard.
Oil not only imparts an obnoxious
taste to fish, uniting them for the
market, but the gear used in the fish
ing industry is befouled and injured.
The harbor master at Bridgeport,
Conn.,, has seen blue fish and mack
eral dead in large numbers on the
inner side of the breakwater. Boats
entering Bridgeport Harbor with car
goes of live cod are now compelled to
close the tank holes. Formerly the
holes were left open to guarantee
free circulation of water for the fish,
but recent experiments have shown
that when the holes are left open now
over two-thirds of the fish are killed
by the oil.
Birds in walking on the flats or rest
ing on oil covered water come In con-
tact with the foreign substance which
sticks to their legs, wings and bodies.
The feathers become matted, the bird
is unable to fly normally and finally
dies of starvation.
The American Game Protective and
Propagation Association of New York
has stated that II a bird gets only a
small spot of oil on 1t death is GER
tain. The United States government
is authority for the statement that
the adverse results of oil pollution
are widespread. 1t Is detrimental to
shell-flsh by reason of destroying lar
val forms, and rendering the adult
mollusks unfit for food.-From the
Thrift Magazine.
Ice cream was first made in Italy
in 1856. 1t was introduced into this
country by Mistress Dolly Madison,
wife of the fourth president of the
United States, when she was the first
lady of the land She served ice
cream at state dinner in the White
House during her husbands admins
tration in 1909, and so was the pio
neer in this country in serving food
that has become our most popular
dessert.

cheney claims at once the 1Skarat
crown of Immortality. On Manhattan
Island alone more than 5000 horses
are in daily use, and their number is
said to be increasing.
In the delivery of milk, ice, bread,
vegetables and similar commodities
the horse is more useful than the
motor-truck because he soon learns
the routes and can go undirected from
customer to customer, thus greatly
accelerating the progress of the
driver. In the language in which Old
Dobbin does his thinking and in his
own secret nomenclature, he knows
the home addresses of all the Browns,
the Joneses and the Smiths.
The automobile is entirely material
istic in it's aims and ambitions. 1t
has no mind, no memory, no soul. 1t
could not remember the Browns, the
Joneses, or the Smiths, or where they
live, to save it's throbbing little car
buretor.
So, until some one invents an auto
mobile with a good memory for names
and addresses, the horse will continue,
in his plodding way, TO hold an hon
ored place among us even in these
days of r-gogettingness.-H

DREAD CANCER

One of the greatest problems of
mankind today is to seek out the
cause and cure of cancer, that dread
disease of modern civilization. At the
present time, every institute of medi-
cal learning in the world is devoting
large part of its time to the study of
the cause and prevention of cancer.
In the meantime, every physician is
bending his energies to combat the
ravages of cancer by the agencies now
at his disposal. Broadly speaking,
these agencies are surgery, X-ray and
radium. The many so-called cancer
cures, cleverly advertised, each and
every one, are unreliable.
Any cancer which is so located in
or upon the body that it can be de-
stroyed or removed without serious
injury to the patient may be cured by
an agent which accomplishes this act.
In such cases, surgery is the first con-
sideration. In certain localities, how
ever, the cure can frequently be effect
ed by X-rays and radium. These
agencies, however, are both powerful
and complicated, and should never be
employed in the treatment of cancer
except by medical men who have pre-
pared themselves especially for this
work.
In cancer of the internal organs, the
same rule applies. If the cancer is
limited to an area which can be
reached and removed without danger
to the Individual surgery is the prop
er treatment. In specific instances,
such conditions may also be treated
successfully by X-ray and radium.
In those unfortunate cases in which
the cancer has grown beyond ordinary
safe limits and its cells carried by the
blood and lymphatics into other fields,
there is at present no sure cure. Nat
urally, therefore, it is much easier to
effect cure of cancer in it's early
stage than after it has spread to
other organs.
With tn acknowledge before us, it is
of the utmost Importance to know
that upon the discovery of a sore on
the body, which does not heal with
ordinary treatment in reasonably
short time, or upon the discovery of
any lump or enlargement which per-
sists, one should seek a physicians
advice Immediately. This often means
the cure of a condition which, if neg
lected, may in comparatively short
time cost a life.

Watery Eggs Caused
by Lack of Iodine

A. e. Evans, poultryman of Terrace
Heights, Yakima is satisfied that
watery eggs which sometimes appear
in the interior of this and other states,
is not due to warm weather, but arises
primarily from the lack of iodine in
the feed fed the hens.
Mr.. Evans has arrived at this con-
clusion after thorough investigation
to find the cause. During the past
year he has fed his poultry those feeds
known to contain small amounts Of
iodine, and as a result his eggs have
been free from the trouble. Fish meal,
small quantities of the drug added to
the drinking water and the use OF sea
salt, are among the means recommend
ed by Mr.. Evans for supplying laying
hens with iodine. Watery eggs are said
to be unknown to the poultrymen OF
the west side.
