The counties in which the inspec-
lions were made are without organic
ed county health departments, or any
countrywide program of health educa-
ton, disease prevention, community
sanitation, or health supervision of
school children. One wonders, there
fore, that if the high rate of defective
school children found by the inspec-
ton is indicative Of the state of other
health conditions in these counties, if
a well-organized county health de-
partment would not be the best invest
ment they could make in the near flu

tions were made are Alexander, AL

CHAPTER 8

MARGALO lifted out the huge
ruby gingerly. l noticed that chain
dangled to it. a heavy. cumbersome
gold affair. linked together crudely.
She. Van Every and sat silently
for a while. Watching the stone. In
the freight it seemed almost to
speak. to CULVER. to breathe
II don't blame you. Mr.. Van
Every" Margalo said finally. her
eyes still fascinated by the ruby.
1T is lovely. isn't it?" He spoke
with pride. You'll notice 1t is
pierced for the chain. The old gold
smiths used 20 do that. The hole
does not impair the value. for the
stone can be cut again. Indeed, the
cutting is very bad"
I noticed the hole through which
one of the gold links was fastened.
The cutting. IS Van Every said. was
bad. but even that could not destroy
the beauty of the stone 1t CLEANED
and twinkled with light in spite of
the faulty cutting.
Now Margalo cupped her hand
around the ruby. ut seems warm"
she murmured She sat that way
for some time. the big red stone in
her hand Then her fingers caught
the chain. and she started to put it
around her neck. Van Every leaped
forward.
"Pleasei"
II thought I'd put it Oh"
I'D rather you wouldn't. Miss
"Afraid of what?" She laughed,
brittle. careless laugh.
"Afraid-the history is so cory. so
horrible-you know. my stones are
real things to me-"
"You mean that you don't want
me to put this on because you are
afraid something will happen me
If do?"
1T is called the murder stone. Miss
Younger"
Margalo SLIPPED the chain about
her neck. and the ruby rested on her
bosom Against the white of her
dress it was blood red
I'm not in the least superstitious,
Mr.. Van Every. How could it be
possible for the stone to kill me?"
~ don't know. Miss Younger. but
I'm awfully uneasy"
Again Margalo laughed "Please
let me wear it a few minutes And
/ promise you nothin III happen"
Van Every sat down. rather
stiffiy. his eyes drawn. worried.
Nothing will happen. Van Every"
I said you take your stones too
seriously"
He smiled. but could see he was
still anxious His tall. slim figure
was erect in his chair I had always
thought him handsome. Now he
seemed to be even finer looking. Ills
pure white hair gave him a distin-
guished appearance. accentuated by
his short-cropped. silvery mustache
Nearing CO. he must be-although he
was 1.-THE as a youth and as slender
Now tell us the real story of the |
ruby" Margalo begged her fingers
touching the glowing red stone.
He hesitatnd an instant. "You |

Younger. I haven't even showed II |
