Rupert ~quizzically for a second or

question.

Technically, the question was an
impertinent one, but Rupert decided
to be polite.
What makes you ask?" he re-
turned.

answered Pip.
And probably a good one" agreed
Rupert, genially. May I know it?"
SO far, Pip had not progressed
any. He tried a new tack, and be-
came confidential.

he observed, lowering his voice.

Rupert. Does that mean you know

Rupert saw no reason why he

interrogation.

He went close up to the door, and
listened. Not a sound. He tried
it. It was locked, as before, and
did not bulge the fraction of an
inch. He was struck by the mas
siveness of the door, and the con-
scientious workmanship it reflected.
There was nothing jerry-built about
it. 1t had been built to fulfill its
purpose, unquestionably.
Wonder if 1 could smash it in?"
he reflected.
He felt a little less responsible to
other peoples property than he had
felt during his last visit. He looked
round for an efficient battering-
ram, forgetful for the moment Of
the easier problem he could solve
by going up the stairs, until all
at once he heard a faint sound
above him. Then, in a swift revul-
sion, he forgot about the door, and
stood tensely at attention.
He feared to move, lest he should
disturb the thing that had made the
faint sound. Standing close to the
oak partition, he was not in view
of the stairs. The sound above
him ceased, then began again. Foot
steps descended, reacehd the bot
tom, came round the bend of the
lower balustrade and Joscelyn
Marlowe stood before him.
Neither had expected to e the
other, but neither committed the
discretion Of betraying surprise.
They regarded each other quietly
for a few moments. Then Jocelyn
said:

Are you being just as truthful now

She smiled slightly.
L see you don't believe what I
told you"
"Of course, I don't"
Then"
She paused. Below them-far be-
low them, this time-sounded a
faint rumble. 1t vas something like
the rumble of a train running into
a tunnel, and then suddenly stop
ping. But no trains raj under
Coomber House.
What is it?" he exclaimed, ex-
asperated,
She shook her head.

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, nj. ID.
Former Commissioner OF Health.

We are inclined to laugh at un-
usual things. Nobody smiles if told
that Mrs. Smiths child has the
whooping cough. But everybody

Smith has the disease. I suppose
1t seems funny that the lady did
not have this ailment when she
ought to have it." in childhood.
1t seems a childish thing to have
whooping cough at twenty-eight.
But grown people do have it.
They may have very sever forms of
1t, too. 1t is a terribly annoying
ailnient for anybody to have.
/ can well recall how I dreaded
those spasms. I thought I should
die before being able to breathe
again. My kind father, a big,
strong man. would lift me out of
bed and, as he held me over his
shoulder, assured me I had nothing
to fear.
We need moral support in some of
our affections. This is one of them.
Whooping cough is not partic-
ularly dangerous when met in
grown persons or older children. 1t
is always serious in tiny babies.
This is a germ disease. Even
about this common ailment we have
a good deal to learn. I shall be
glad when we have q sure means
OF protection against all infectious
diseases. including whooping cough
The first symptoms are likely to
appear anywhere from n week to
two weeks after exposure. There
is no certainty about the time.
The attack begins just like a cold
Indeed you can't tell at first
whether it is an ordinary cold or
really Is whooping cough. The nose
runs and a cough develops.
But the coughing spells don't
grow less as in a cold. On the con-
trary. the cough gets worse and
worse for several weeks.
If it turns out to be whooping
cough, coughing attacks take on
the special nature Of that disease.
They occur in spasms, at more or
less regular intervals.
There will be a spell Of cough
ing, then another, the child gets
red in the face and then catches
its breath. 1t seems impossible to
fill the lungs with air. The effort
to draw in the air results in the
sharp. Growing sound, the familiar
"whoop," characteristic of the dis
ease.
After the spell passes the child
seems exhausted and may even
yonit. OF course this does not
prove the trouble is actually whoop-
ing cough. Severe coughing spells
from any cause may cause gagging
and vomiting. But the symptom IS
very common In this disease.
The coughing tendency lasts for
six or eight weeks. There NAV be
considerable loss Of weight as a
result Of the disease.
The contagiousness Of whooping
cough is quite pronounced In its
beginning. After a month or so,
however. there appears to be no
danger in most cases.
The little patient should be kept
out OF doors as much as possible
OF course it must be away from
other children.

general health is important. Simple
food, sunlight, fresh air. plenty of
rest and sleep-all these will hasten
recovery.

FORGETS NOTHING

AS superintendent of the house document room
Lewis IS one Of the most important cogs in the ma
tional legislative machinery. For it is to the docu-
ment room that representatives and senators rush the
pages for copies of bills and reports on legislation be-
fore congress.
Approval or defeat Of vitality important legislation
frequently hinges upon the ability of the member ct
congress to get certain papers filed in the document
room. Minutes at such times are precious. Those
sponsoring legislation must have facts. This means
that the document room must give service.
And it does. But the story Of how it does involves
Elmer Lewis, variously described as a memory expert
and a prodigy of efficiency.
Lewis had more than $4,000 pieces of legislation to
index and file during the last congressional session.
To the average person who inquiries for the status of
any legislation Lewis usually is able to reply without
reference to his cards.
Some Of the things he knows about legislation are
whether it is a house bill, a senate bill, resolution,
private bill or public bill.
In addition he must know who introduced the
measure, its number, the date of presentation, when
it was referred to a committee when reported-if at
all-and its status from the time it reaches the cal
endar Of either house until it has passed, been ad-
justed in conference, and finally signed or vetoed by
the president.
To know this about $4,000 pieces of legislation
seems impossible. While Lewis makes no claim to
have all this information at his finger tips, capitol
folk regard it as a bad wager to bet against his knowl-
edge of any measure which has been presented to con-
.gress.
He does not depend upon his subordinates, but
does his own work.
HELPER
Lewis has been connected with the document room
10 years, and has been superintendent for almost five.
During the time he has been superintendent several
innovations have been made which have added great
ly to the service the document room renders.
Formost among these has been compiling all of the
laws on various subjects and grouping them so that
those interested may have easy access.
Under Lewis administration the document room
also provides material for student debaters and those
engaged in writing theses. Members Of congress every
year are flooded with requests for matrial on this or
that subject. Lewis attends to these requests, pro-
viding copies Of speeches made in congress on the
subject desired.
Such requests alone average so daily during school
sessions.
