"How do you feel?" he asked of the man. who evidently heard and understood, but did not reply. He simply made a little motion of facial muscles, of shoulders, of his whole body under the bed-clothes, which Indicated rage and impatience. "Does that place on your cheek burn?" asked Gordon. Again there was no answer, .this time not even an' motion. "Have you any pain?" asked Gordon. The man lay motionless. "Is there any one in the parlor?" Gordon asked abruptly of Georgie K. "No, Doc. You can go right in there." Gordon beckoned to James, and the two went downstairs, and entered the room of the wax flowers and the stuff ed canary. "It looks like erysipelas," Gordon said with no preface. James nodded. "All I have done so far, in the ab sence of any positive proof of the truth of that diagnosis, is to apply what you will think an old woman's remedy, but I have known it to give good results in light cases, and I did not like to resort to the more stren uous methods until I was sure of my ground, for fear of complications. II applied a little mutton tallow, and that was all. but the inflamation has increased since I saw him. It now looks to me like a clearly defined case' of erysipelas." "It does to me." said James. "So far the wound in the throat seems to be doing well," said Gordon gloomily. Then he looked at the young er physician with an odd, helpless ex pression. "His life must be saved," said he. "Which do you prefer of the two methods of treating the disease that is, of the two primary ones? Of course, there are methods innumerable. I may have grown rusty in" my country practice. Do you prefer the leeches, the nitrate of silver, the low diet, or the reverse?" "I think I prefer the reverse." Well, -you may be right," said Gor don, "and yet .you have to consider that this is a man in full vigor." he added, "that presumably he has con siderable reserve strength upon which to draw. Still if you prefer the other treatment " "I have seen very good results from it," said James. He was becoming more and more astonished at the older man'$ helpless, almost appealing, manner to ward himselfV,:;"What is the man's name?" he asked. "I don't , know what . name he has given hre," Gordon replied evasively, "i :will tell you later ori:. what his name is." " Suddenly the parlor door was flung open; ana a womanappearea. Bne was middle-aged, very large, clad in black raiment, which had an effect of sliding and slipping from her when she moved. She kept clutching at the buttons of her coat, which did not Quite meet over her full front. She brought to gether the ends of a black fur boa, she reached constantly for the back of . her skirts, and gave them a firm tug which relaxed the next moment. Her decent black bonnet was askew, her large face was flushed. She had been a strapping, handsome country girl once; now she was almost in decent in her involuntary exuberance of course femininity. . "How do you do, Mrs. Slocum?" Doc tor Gordon said politely. James rose, Gordon introduced nim. Mrs. Slocum did not bow, she jerked her great chin upward, then she spoke with really alarming ferocity. "Where has my boarder went? That's what I want to know. That's what I have come here for, not for no bowin's and scrap in's.. Where has my boarder went?" . A keen look came into Gordon's face. "I don't know who your boarder is, Mrs. Slocum " he said. S?. D. MOORE Representing . 0 . . Niagara Fire Insurance Co. ' British American Fire Ins. Co. Rochester German Fire Ins.

Room 7 AC'S Building, CHAPTER X Mrs. Slocum looked at the doctor with a wide gasp of surprise. - . "Thought you knew," said she. "His name is Meserve, Mr. Edward Meserve, and if;he has come and went, and not told where, he was good pay, and if he was took sick whilst he was to my house.I could have asked twice as much ks I diid before. I'd like to know what right you had to take my boarder to the hotel. He was my boarder. He wasn't your boarder. I want him fetch ed right back. That's what I have came for." "Mrs. Slocum," said Gordon in a hard 1 voice, "Mr; Meserve is too sick to be moved, and his disease 'may be con tagious.' You might lose all your other boarders, and whether he recovers or not, you would be obliged to fumigate your house, and have his room re papered -and plastered." v "He's got money enough to pay for it," Mrs. Slocum said doggedly. "How do you know?" "You think he -ain't?" ; ' Gordon looked imperturable. "He always paid me regular, and he . ain't been to meals or to home nights two-thirds of the time." V c Gordon -said nothing. You mean if - my other boarders went, and the room had to be ; done over, he - ain't got money enough to make it good?" . . Gordon said nothing. The wonaan fidgeted. ."Well," said she "if there's any doubt of it. mebbe he is better off here." Suddenly she gave a suspic ious glance at Gordon. "Say," said she' "the room here will have to be ' done over. Who's goin' to pay for that?" "The room is isolated," replied Gor don briefly. The-woman stared. She evidently did not know the meaning of the word. ' "Well," said she at last, "if the room Pale Delicate Women and Girls. The Old ; Standard Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic drives out malaria and builds up the system. Sold by all dealers for 27 years. : Price 50 cent is insulted, it will have to be done over. Who's going to pay for that?" "I am.". . . . v . "Well, I don't see why you couldn't pay me for that as well as Mr. Evans.?'. "Don't you?" t "No." , 1 I "Well, I do. Now. Mrs. Slocum, I really have no more time to waste. Mr; Meserve is a very sick man, and I have to go to him. I come down here" to consult with my assistant, and you have hindered us. Good-day!" But the woman still stood her ground. "I'm goin' to see him," she said. "He's my boarder." "You will do so at your own risk, and' also, if your call should prove in jurious to him. at a risk of being in dicted for manslaughter, besides pos sibly catching the disease." "You say it's ketchin'?" I said it might le. We have not 3'et entirely formed our diagnosis." : The woman stared yet again. Then she turned about with a switch which disclosed f ringy black petticoats and white stockings. "Well, form your noses all jrou want to," said she. "You have took away my boarder, an' if-he gits well, and it ain't ketchin', I'll have the law on ye." Gordon drew a deep breath when the door closed behind her. "It seems something to me as if comedy were the haircloth shirt of tragedy," he said grimly. "Well, Elliot,; we will go up stairs and begin the fight. I am going to fight to the death. 1 shall re main here tonight. You will have to look after my other patients when you leave here. I am sorry to put so much upon you." "Oh, that's all right," said James, following Gordon upstairs. But as he spoke he wondered more and more that "this man, after what he had known of him. should be of more im portance to Gordon than all others. Even during the short time they had been downstairs the angry J red around the abrasion on the cheek had widened, and widened toward the head. Gordon opened his medicine-ease and took out a bottle and hairbrush and commenced work. Directly the entire cheek was blackened with the applica tion' of iron. Georgie K. had brought glasses, and medicine had been forced into the patient's month. "Now go-and have some eggnog mixed, Georgie K.," said Gordon, "and bring it here 'your self, if you will. I hate to trouble you." "That's all right Doc," said Georgie K., and went. James . remained only a short time, since he had the other' calls to 'make. He returned quite late to find that din ner had been kept waiting for him, and Clemency in her pretty red gown was waiting. Mrs.7 E wing had not come down all - day. "Mother says"' she Is easier," Clemency ; observedi'otrly i -she thinks it better to keep perfectly still." Clemency said very little about the man at the hotel. She seemed to dread the very mention of him. She and James spent a long evening together, and she was entirely charming. James began to put behind him all the mys tery and dark hints of evil. Clemency, although fond, was as elusive as a butterfly. She had feminine wiles -to her finger "tips, hut "she was quite in nocent of the fact that they were wiles. It took the whole evening ' for " the young man to secure a kiss or two, and have her upon his knee for the space of " about five minutes. - She nestled closely to him with a little sigh of happiness for a very little while, then she slipped away, and stood looking at him like an elf. "I am not going to do that much." said she. "Why not, darling?" "Because I am not. It is silly. I love you, but I will not be silly. I want only what will last. The love will last, but the silliness won't. We are going to be married, but I shall not want to sit on your knee all the time, and what is more, you will not want me to. Sup pose we should live to be very old. WTh6 ever saw a very old woman sit ting on her Very old husband's knee? The love will last, but that", will not. We will not-have so very much of that which will not last." For all that, James caught Clemency and kissed her until her soft face was crimson, but he said to himself when he was in his own room, that never was a girl so wise and how much more he wanted to hold her upon his knee as if he had not already held her there and yet she was not eoquetish.- She was simply earnestwith an odd, wise, childlike earnestness. TrtOETHNMOrJEYT CUHESfCZEMA A Minister Talks About 4 Grape-Nuts. "My first stomach trouble began back in 1905," writes a minister in Nebr.' "resulting from hasty eating and eating too much. I found no relief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me great distress. "It was "that sore,- gnawing, - hungry feeling In- my stomach that was so disT tressing and I " became a sick man. Grape-Nuts ; was recommended as a food that could be easily digested.

THE SWiFT SPECIFIC CO., A TIANTA, GAm Early the next morning James went to the hotel, and found Gordon hag gard and intense, sitting beside 'i his patient, who-was evidently worse. The terrible red fire of Saint Anthony had mounted higher, and settled lower. "It has attacked his throat now," Gordon said in a whisper. "I expect every minute it will reach .his brain. When it does, nobody but you, and. I must be with him, not even Georgie K. He is getting some rest. He was up half the night, bless him! But when it reaches the brain two will be needed here. and the two must be you and I. Take this list, an make the calls as quickly as you can and come back here." James, with a L43t glance v'at the black and swollen face of the man, who now seemed to be in a state of coma, obey ed. He hurried through his list, and re turned. He found no apparent change in the patient and tried to persuade Gordon to take a little rest, but the elder man was obdurate. "No," he said, here I stay. I have hada bit to eat and drink. You go down yourself and get something, then come back. The crisis may i arrive any second. Then I shall need you."; The fire had outstripped the black4 ness on the man's eheek toward the temple. One eye was closed. When James returned after a hurried lunch, he heard a loud, terrible voice in the room. Outside, the door a maid stood witha horrified face listening. James' grasped, her roughly by the shoulder. "Get, out of this," he ordered. "If I find you or any one else here list ening, you'll be sorry for it." The maid gasped out an excuse and fled. James tried the door, but it was locked. "Is that you, Elliot?" called Gordon above the '-other awful voice. . "Yes' The door was unlocked, and James sprang" into the sroom but he 'was hardly quick enough, for the manwas almost out of bed, when the two dot tcrs - fbrced him back with all their strength. Then he sat up and raved, and such ravin's! James felt his very blood cold within him. Revelations as of a devil were in those ravings. Once in a while James onened the door cau tiously1 'to be sure" "that no bnewas listening. Theraving man reiterated names as of a multitude. Gordon's was among them, and many names of wo men, one especially Catherine. He re peated that name more frequently than the others, but the others were legion. There was sbmething indescribably horrible in hearing ' this repetition of names of unknown people, accompani ed .with, statements beyond belief re garding them J and the raving man. .Gordon's -faeewa.s ;gha,stly, and so was the youngr doctor's. "Look, and see if any one is listening, for God's sake," Gordon gasped, after one; ter rific outburst," and James looked but Georgie K. was keeping watch that nobody approached the door. James never knew how long he was iu that room With Gordon listening to those frenzied . ravings, and striving with him to keep the man from in juiing himself.' The daylight waned, James lighted a lamp. Then a mighty creaking was- heard outside, . and Georgie K., himself bearing a great supper tray, knocked at the door. "It's me, and I brought you something," he shouted, and then they heard his re treating footsteps. Much delicacy . was there in Georgie K., and much affection for Doctor Gordon. . James brought in the tray, and now and then he and Gordon took advant age of a slight lull to take a bite, but neither had any desire for food. It was only the instinctive sanse that they: must keep up their strength in order that nobody else should hear what they were' hearing, that forced them to eat and drink. Well into the evening the ravings stopped suddenly, the man fell back upon his pillow, and lay still. James thought at first that ' all was over, but presently stertorous breath ing began. ; ' "Now get Georgie K. up," Gordon said hoarsely. "There is no further need for us to be alone, and there-will be directions to be given." James went" out and found Georgie K. sitting up in his bat-room. "Doctor Gordon wants you," he said,; "How is he?" asked Georgie KM fol lowing James. Dying." Georgie K. made an" indiscribabTe. sound in his throat as the two men ascended the stairs.

' FIELDS FOR TRAINED NURSES. They Run Farms Enter the Profes sions and Manage Businesses. ' The training acquired by a trained nurse seems to fit her for more lucra tive lines of work. - ' One ' graduate of a training school has a summer hotel at Boethe Lake, in Wisconsin, where she entertains fifty boarders. The hotel is always full and makes money. A New York trained nurse has made an unusual success of a very high priced boarding house. Another has a beautiful farm of twenty-five acres, and takes at certain seasons of ' the year one hundred and fifty guests at a time. One of the most successful boarding houses in Pasadena is-run by a former trained nurse. Five nurses are known who are now earning their living on farms of their own, having saved the capital to start in their-profession. Among former trained nurses scat tered through the country there are known to be twenty practicing phy sicians, several sanitary inspectors," tenement house inspectors, health officers and probation officers. Trained nurses seem to be specially fitted to act in the last capacity. . - ".', There are six missionaries and many matrons of hospitals among graduates of. American training schools. Two have been very successful in owning and managing lunch clubs and rest rooms. One is superintendent of an orphan asylum. Another manufactures- sterile; surgical dressings and does a large trade in furnishing nurses' caps. . . . Two nurses own and manage drug stores successfully. One Americam nurse has a plantation in Jamaica. Another was a successful practicing dentist in San Francisco at the time of the catastrophe.
