She knew what this would mean

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

But when she thought 1t over
Gail could see that her knowledge
of Helen Stiles marriage only
complicated things. There was now
not a single name left on the list
she had made so hopefully when
she first went to work at Reds.
One by one she had been forced
to eliminate each suspect yet her
loyal young heart still exonerated
her father.
Whoever had taken those jewels
five years ago 1t had not been
Robert Trenton. The idea of prov
ing her faith was, however, more
hopeless than ever.
In fact the possibility of dis
covering the thief after all this
time was so faint that she wished
she had taken Bills advice and not
attempted it.
Sat at Desk
Gail sat at her desk that after
noon dreading the explanation she
must make to her mother.
She knew that Anna would not
accept it. That was why no doubt
that she postponed it as long as
possible.
Gail waited until after dinner,
then going to the desk where Anna
kept the list the girl simply took
It out of the drawer and tore 1t
up.
What are you doing that for?"
Anna demanded.
Its no use," Gail explained.
Every name on there has had to
be crossed out. Helen Stiles Is the
last and she told me today that
she is married to Mr.. Wentworth,
which accounts for her mysterious
behavior. Also she told me that
she didn't know him until he came
to work for Reds which was
after the robbery. The police must
have been wrong. It wasn't an
inside job"
ut must have been" Anna said
stubbornly. "The emerald was
kept in a safe and the lock wasn't
even broken"
II know that" Gail reminded
her. But the truth Of the matter
is there isn't anything more l can
do about it,
IF you stay there long enough
something is bound to happen. II

GENTLY early and In adequate
amounts, we may expect the death
rate to be reduced. Unfortunately
not all types of pneumonia re-
spond equally favorably to this
treatment.
Many so called pneumonia
cures have been tried and found
wanting until the newer remedies
came into use. The most recent
forward step In treatment came as
the result of experimenting with
a new drug called sulfapyradine.
Laboratory workers abroad and
in the United States In 1898 and
1899 used this chemical on mice
infected with pneumonia germs
and found many of the mice were
saved. Similar treatment was ap-
piled TO human beings and 1t
worked.
Sulfapyradine is toxic and must
be used with caution. 1t may cause
unpleasant symp m and its
action should be carefully watched.
For this reason cases Of pneu-
monia should be treated in the
hospital so that any unfavorable
symptoms can be checked and
steps taken to modify the treat
ment. The more general use OF
oxygen in the treatment OF pneu-
monia has undoubtedly helped in
controlling the disease.
