 But she never wanted his love" Katherine protested vehementlY, and there was that in her voice which warned me that must tread warily when discussing Hal Meredith with her. was sure that she did not realize herself how strong was her interest in him, but it was distinctly not my province to enlighten her.
 After all, I told myself, with q feeling of postponing some dreaded evil, sho had as yet made no defi- nite promise. The next few days might bring unexpected develop ments. I took refuge in banality, guessing that she would be glad 10 change the subject of our talk.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH $. CUMMING Surgeon General, |. S. Public Health
 Service

Service
 Because of the menace of com municabe diseases, laws in general provide that there shall be steriliza- ton of glasses after each use, or that cups shall be provided which may be used once and then destroyed.
 The process to be used in steriliz- ing is detailed in some of the laws bearing on this subject; Ohio, for example, prescribes the following method, that after each in- dividual service, tho glass must first be washed by rinsing in cold water, then thoroughly washed In hot water with soap or suitable cleans ing powder, or exposed to live steam. boiling water or hot air, the latter at a temperature of not less than @5o degrees Fahrenheit. for a pc riod Of not less than five minutes, then rinscd in clear cold water and drained.
 Heat, of course, is about the best sterilizer known. Boiling water kills most germs in five minutes, and dead germs are harmless unless they exist in enormous numbers.
 There is an obvious disposition on the part Of many dispensers of soft drinks to avoid this sterilization process.
 It is not alone in soft drink dis pensaries that the dangers of the unclcan glass may be encountered, These dangers may exist In res taurants. cafetcrias. theaters, and many other places.
 Every man, woman and child hds responsibility to himself and 10 his fellows IL is the duty of any one who drinks at q soda fountain, restaurant, or any other place, to find out whether the receptacle from which he drinks is safe. and if not to demand one that Is. Insanitary conditions of whatever nature should be Immediately reported to the local l health authorities.

tercst in this case as the state has. I'm satisfied -shes telling the truth. We need her 10 help us find the real murderer. I've maintained from the first, Lieutenant. that no woman was involved in this case I said it when they first showed me the handker- chief and l said it again when To- garty told us he had given his thcatcr ticket 10 q woman.
 "I'm going 10 Grafton 10 get hold of q lawyer"
 There's plenty of them here Rand" observed ODay dryly.
 'l have one in mind. Hes the best friend I've got"
 He turned to Olga. When l come back, Miss Maynard, they're going 10 let you go. and you and l are going to find that man. He doesn't know we're looking for him, so he won't be hiding. You're going to look for him every evening--do you hear""
 He thought he had never seen anything so pitiful in his life as when she turned a fearful face to him and said, '1'll try, Mir Rand, I'll try awful hard"
 He stopped ill q telegraph office and sent q wire to Detective Mooney and another 10 Barry Colvin. At the railroad station he was able to get a lower berth on the train leaving for Grafton at ten o'clock.
 It was q later train than he had planned to take, but there was no choice; there were nosberths left on the other. He decided to eat dinner at a downtown restaurant and then go home and throw Q few things in his travelling bag.
 On the way to his room he walk cd slowly. trying 10 formulate some plan of action. He must get hold of Barry, and have Barry argue with the district attorney against indict- ing Olga Maynard for murder Barry was q friend of the district attorney: once they had both work ed for the same law firm.
 In front of his rooming house he almost collided in the darkness with man coming through the gate.
 I'm sorry" he murmurcd as the other stepped quickly to one side to avoid a collision.
 The man lowered his head and walked swiftly away. He might have had the decency 10 accept my apology" Jimmy muttercd. Still, I guess I'd better watch where I'm going. I almost knocked him down. | Wonder if he lives here?"
 Mrs, King, the landlady, was in the hall when he entered the house.
 "Is that you, Mir. Randi" she said in surprise. "I thought heard you moving around in your room a few minutes ago"
 T was in earlier in the evening, Mrs. King. but went out again. I've been gone about three hours"
 "I could have sworn I heard you just a few minutes ago. MT. Rand, I didn't hear you go out and thought you were still here"
 By the way. I'm going out oi town tonight Going to Grafton. expect to be back day after tomor' row. No phone calls for me, were thcre?"
 NO"
 In his way upstairs he was think ing of Mary Lowell. "I don't know why l think she'd call me up," h. said to himself. ''I guess I'm plnil darn fool to think of it evcn."

wasn't strong enough for me to make the long journey to the Sunny South when the time came"
 This was news to Peter and he said so. What kind of an accident did you meet with?" he asked,
 Mocker chuckled. q don't like to tell you," said he.
 "Why not?" demanded Peter. "Ac- cidents are nothing to be ashamed of"
 That depends replied Mocker. That depends on the kind of acci- dent. Now, this accident that hap pcned to me l am ashamed of"
 This puzzled Peter. "What kind of an accident was it." demanded he.
 "Jt was a stupid accident" replied Mocker. q didn't watch out and Sharp-Shin the Hawk almost caught me. As it was, he pulled two fcath- CTS out of one wing and they were two most important feathers. I couldn't make that long journey South without those feathers. In fact, I had hard work getting around here, though nobody knew it. So there was nothing to do but to stay. By the time l had grown q couple of new flight feathers it was too late to go. So here I am. I'm not sorry either. l am having a perfectly good time. If the weather gets no worse than it has been, l think I shall get through nicely. I do hope that the supply of berries will hold out But if they don't l guess Farmer Browns Boy will take care Of me. Do you know what he has 1 been feeding me?"
 Of course, Peter shook his head. "I haven't the least idea" said he. What has he been feeding you?"
 "Raisins and currants," replied Mocker. "Raisins and entrants, and they are the incest things"
 What are raisins and currants?'
 "I don't know replied Mockcr. i"All I know is that they are the Inicest things"
 q wish I had some" said Peter,
 If you'll meet me over here to- morrow morning, perhaps m bring you some," said Mockcr.
 "Tn be right here," said Peter "rn be right here waiting for you I'm always right on hand when there is anything good to cat" Copyright. 1926, by T. W, Burgess, The next story: "Petor Turns u
