 He stayed upstairs q coupla hours. come down at 1:20. and hoped a taxi. I picked up another one, and followed him. He went down the drive to Seventy second through Central Park, and east on Fifty-niDth. Got out at Avenue A, and walked out on the Queensbor- ough bridge.
 About half way to Blackwell's Island he stood leaning over the rail for five or six minutes. Then he took a small package out of his pocket, and dropped it in the river"
 What size was the package? ?' There was repressed eagcrness in Markham's question.
 Higginbotham indicated the measurements with his hands.
 How thick was it?"
 Inch or so, maybe"
 Markham leaned forward.
 Could it have been a gun-a Colt automatic?"
 Sure, it could Just about the right size. And it was heavy, too, T could tell by the way he handled it, and the way it hit the water"
 "An right" Markham was DloaeaI "AOvthjnp else ?"
 NO, sir. After he ditched the gun, ne went home, and stayed. ] left him there"
 When Higginbotham had gone Markham nodded at Vance with melancholy elation,

 Major Benson looked up. per plexed.
 'I don't quite grasp the situation. Why did I.eacock have to go to Riverside Drive for his gun?" T have reason to think" said Markham, that he took it to Miss St. Clair the day after the shooting for safe-keeping probably. He wouldn't have wanted it found in his place"
 Might he not have taken it to Miss St. Clair's before the shoot i ing?"
 T know what you mean" Mark i ham answered. q, too. recalled the Majors assertion the day be- fore that Miss St. Clair was more capable of shooting his brother than was the Captain) T had the same idea myself. But certain evi- dcntal facts have eliminated her as q suspect"
 "You,ve undoubtedly satisfied yourself on the point" returned the Major; but his tone was dubious. However, l cant see Leacock as Alvin's murderer"
 He paused, and laid a hand on the district attorneys arm.
 T don't want to appear presump- tuous, or unappreciative Of all you've done; but I really wish you'd wait bit before clapping that boy into prison.
 "The most careful and conscien- tious of us are liable 10 error: even facts sometimes lie damnably; and I cant help believing that the facts in this instance have deceived you"
 It was plain that Markham was touched by this request of his old friend; but his instinctive fidelity to duty helped him to resist the others appeal.
 T must act according to my con yictions, Major' he said firmly, but

 Since the introduction of pasteur- ization of milk. the numbers of cases of typhoid fever septic sore throat, scarlet fever and diphtheria, which used to result from infected milk, have largely decreased.
 Today few cities suffer greatly with infectious diseases due to con- taminated milk. The recent experi- cnce Of Montreal is a reflection of what serious harm may result when vigilance is temporarily relaxed in the control of milk supply.
 During the same period of time that attention has been given to milk. water supplies have been improved through chlorinization and filtration.
 Constant Vigilance
 Studies recently made In varl- ous communities have shown that it Is necessary to be eternally vigilant in watching the operation of pasteurizing plants. The whole idea in pasteurizing Is to heat all of the milk sufficiently to kill such germs as it may contain. Som etimes pasteurlzing ma chimes have mechanical defects in , the way of dead ends, leaky valves or unsatisfactory thermom- eters, so that some portions of the milk may fail to be properly l heated.
 The Chicago department of health recently has conducted some studies on the subject. Their investigations show that the temperature necessary to pas teurize milk safely is not far re- moved from the amount of heat that will destroy the 'cream line' and injure the marketing value of the milk.
 Investigations have shown that
