CHAPTER FIVE

YES, MALLORY was stimulated
by the sight Of handsome young
man sitting directly across the
aisle from her. AT last the trip was
assuming possibilities. And high
time! Up to now she'd spoken to
no one but ticket desk occupants
and stewardesses. 1t would be fun
to talk with someone on the fight
to Dallas, especially someone Like
this chap.
But he fooled her. He didn't even
look at her. AS soon as they took
off, he closed his eyes and by the
time they were through climbing
and had levelled of he quite obvi-
ously was asleep.
The stewardess moved along the
narrow aisle, pulling back window
curtains; comforting a CRYING child,
whose mother was on the verge of
airsickness; forcing a stiff. gray
haired woman, in the same state,
to accept and chew a stick Of gum.
Apparent in her disappearing glare
was proof that she considered the
gum an unladylike dissipation
How are you, Miss Baker ?"
asked the stewardess.
I'm fine. The bumps don't bother
me-"
The stewardess leaned over the
man opposite Mallory and made
certain his safety belt was secure.
Poor thing" she said softly. Hes

IF he can sleep through this"
observed Mallory, his mother
must have used a jitterbug hand
on his cradle"
Why couldn't have caught the
same plane in New York? But II
had, I'd probably have been set
down, just as was. while he went
looming on. And sleeping on. So,
what good would 1t have done her,
If he insisted on sleeping?
One thing about 1t, she had an
opportunity to observe him without
being detected. An outdoor man,
she decided, from his tanned skin.
And a busy man, harassed even,
for, although he slept quietly, a
slight frown remained between his
eyebrows. Too. he clutched a brief
case with hands that were not
asleep. Evidently all a person need
ed to keep flying was briefcase.
Mallory turned away and peered
out her window. Clouds were
closing in, making 1t seem as II

strange, cold smoke. A rain, mixed
with sleet, pounded against the

"Indeed?" Her reply was curt.

Bakers conceit made her ask,

Now Mallory was leaning across

"Oh! But how stupid Of the
producers-how could the audience
possibly understand"
Mallory had already decided her
attractive neighbours eyes were an
even shade of brown. Now they
seemed to be filled with bobbing,
fiery sparks. Could he. by any
chance, be laughing at her?
THE dialogue is translated, Miss
Baker, then put on as in a pre-talkie
movie. A subtle effect. Really, Miss
Baker, you may be jolted out of

Certainly"
"Have you ever seen the Palace
OF Fine Arts 2" When the blond
girl shook her head, he said, Not
even a photograph ?" Again she
shook her head. The man laughed
his hearty laugh, but he did not ex-
plain his amusement. He merely
finished his tea and went back to
sleep.
In Dallas he awoke long enough
to give her his card and address.
I'll throw it away, the girl decided
viciously. You think you are so SUI
perior! She slipped 1t into her suit

While she fingered In the wait

best to reach Laredo. the plane left
on its way to Monterrey. Mallory
heard the thunderous song Of its
motors. And then, nothing.
The plane was completely out OF

wouldn't get a chance to throw
away Richard Blythe's card. She
had lost II.

how Tod Patrick is going to behave

showed aside the thought of such a
dramatic death; even in magma
ton she was not ready for such a
dire fate.
A sensational lurch of the ship
sent her bounding upward from her
seat. The safety belt caught across
her waist like a wise. Her own dis
comfort caused her to send swift
glance across the aisle. Unbeliev-
ably the blond young man still
slept
Still, pondered Mallory, he wasn't
exactly blond; that is, not when
judged by her own faxen blond
ness. But he wasn't dark, either.
1t was the heavy tan that made
him seem dark. She leaned closer.
At that instant the mans eyelids
flew open and he looked her full in
the face.
Hello he said. then responded
to her puzzlement with, I'VE do
know each other, don't we?"
Mallory drew back. I'm not
sure. 1 believe not"

wider now. II wouldn't dare really
to sleep-not with you near me.
You're exactly the picture OF a
fascinating, international spy. who
would steal my briefcase."
Mallory Baker grunted scornful-
ly. Beneath the brown mesh veil
her face was prim. "Spies are not
fascinating these days. That Is ex-
actly what they are NOT"
The young man leaned back and
laughed heartily. His teeth were
lustrous in the dull blue-gray light
seeping into the plane. Mallory's
quick perusal Of their travelling
companions amused the man still
more. Three or four of them had
an idea of the conversation; others
were striving TO hear.

asked Mallory.

Sulfa Drugs

Then came the sulfa drugs with
their overwhelming success in just
this field, and now a new drug,
penicillin, which seems to be in
many ways even better than the
sulfa drugs. 1t seems to me
great credit to the medical profess
sion that right at the time they
had found a germicidal drug which
worked IN vivo, when another came
along they started with equal en-
thusiasm to go over all the same
clinical Investigations on the new
one.
We were told decade ago that
no new medical discoveries would
be made by accident only by
planned superintendent the dis
covery of penicillin was an acct
dent. In 1929 DR.. Alexander Flem-
ing, a London bacteriologist, no.
ticed that some of his plate cul-
lures of the germ staphylococcus
(the pus producer) were contami-
mated by a mold, and that on the
plates where the mold grew, the
st2phylococci did not grow. Fol-
lowing this up he identified the
mold as Pendulum natatum and
showed that on both cultures it
displayed an inhibitory action on
a number of germs both outside
and inside the animal body.
Since then researches have adj
vanced our knowledge of this pro-
duct by leaps and bounds. A suit
able method of making a potent
extract was found, the proper
strength, or dosage, of the drug
was determined, its toxic, or Gan-
gerous aspects recorded, and its
administration was found to be
effective only if given by vein, or
into the muscle, or topically ap-
piled to an open wound. The world
generally does not realize how
much of this preliminary spade
work has to be done before new
preparation can be tried out elm
ically.
Kinds Of Infection
I know little about penicillin,
even how to pronounce it, because
it is not yet generally available for
lcivilian practice, but many hospi-
tai centers of investigation have
shown in what kinds Of infections
it is valuable.
First come the pus infections
with staphylococci. The sulfa
drugs are effective against pneu-
monia germs (pneumococci) and
streptococci, which cause certain
kinds of blood poisoning, but not
very effective against staphylo-
cocci. Now for staphylococci-
boils, carbuncles, infected bone
(osteomyelitis) middle ear disease
and several other forms of sta
phylococcic infeetion, penicillin is
an effective killer. For these it has
been called bacterial dynamite.
Against pneumonia and menin-
gifts and gonococci infection it is
also very effective.
Also against a number Of rare
infections Of only occasional inter-
est to the layman-the gas-form-
ing germ, bacillus Welchii, an
thrax. lock jaw, bacillus subtilis,
etc. 1t has been favorably re-
ported in the treatment of q few
cases Of syphilis.
II has the great advantage over
the sulfa drugs that it is less toxic
even when given in doses far
above what is necessary for thera-
peutic results.

leagues and fused TO speculate
on some chemical which would en-
ter the blood and kill off germs
without injuring the body cells.
Salvarsan, which came in my time,
did the trick for syphilis, but the
nearest we came to anything for
ordinary germs was mercuro-
chrome, which we used to give for
blood poisoning. 1t ended the lives
Of only about twice as many blood
poison victims as would have gone
ordinarily, and the experience
made US suspicious.
