FOR COUNTRYWIDE EFFORT
Foes of Tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.
April 30 has been set aside this year
as “Tuberculosis Day,” and will be ob
served in a manner similar to that
of “Tuberculosis Sunday” in 1910.
when 10,000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement of the
occasion, made by the national asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, the leaders of the
movement state that they hope to en
list all of the 33,000,000 church mem
bers in country.
In one respect Tuberculosis day will
differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association is going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject of tuberculosis and its pre
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 30, or on any other'day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
“What we went,” says Mr. Living
ston Parrand, executive secretary of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a
report on this movement, “is to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 200,000 churches
of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible.”
ECZEMA GONE, BOILS CURED
“My son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tle fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. By the end
of that time, he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as I had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of a great
many people who had used them with
w onderful success, I dropped the doc
tor's treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
“During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time I
dropped the doctor’s treatment, I used
■Uie jCutlenra Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment, nothing else, and when two
X trs old he was the picture of health,
bus complexion was soft and beauti
ful, and his head a mass of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies.”

To Arrange Flowers.
Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the flowers—not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
in them.

CHAPTER IV.—Continued.
"Your name!" she again demanded.
1 told her the first one that came to
my lips—l do not remember what. I
did not deceive her for a moment.
“Of course that is not your name,"
she said; “because it does not fit you.
You have me still at disadvantage.”
“And me, madam? You are taking
me miles out of my way. How can I
help you? Do you perhaps wish to
hunt mushrooms in the Georgetown
woods when morning comes? I wish
that I might join you, but I fear —”
“You mock me,” she retorted. “Very
good. Let me tell you it was not your
personal charm which attracted me
when I saw you on the pavement!
’Twas because you were the only man
In sight.”
I bowed my thanks. For a moment
nothing was heard save the steady
patter of hoofs on the ragged pave
ment. At length she went on.
“I am alone. I have been followed.
I was followed when I called to you—
by another carriage. I asked help of the
first gentleman I saw, having heard
that Americans are all gentlemen.”
“True,” said I; “I do not blame you.
Neither do I blame the occupant of
the other carriage for following you.”
“I pray you, leave aside such clat
ter!" she exclaimed.
"Very well, then, madam. Perhaps
the best way is for us to be more
straightforward. If I cannot be of
service I beg you to let me descend,
for I have business which I must ex
ecute to-night.”
She dismissed this with an impa
tient gesture, and continued.
“See, I am alone,” she said. "Come
with me. Show me my way—l will
pay—l will pay anything hi reason.”
Actually I saw her fumble at her
purse, and the hot blood flew to my
forehead.
“What you ask of me, madam, is
Impossible,” said I, with what cour
tesy I could summon. “You oblige
me now to tell my real name. I have
told you that I am an American gen
tleman —Mr. Nicholas Trist. We of
this country do not offer our services
to ladies for the sake of pay. But
do not be troubled over any mistake
—it is nothing. Now, you have per
haps had some little adventure in
which you do not wish to be discover
ed. In any case, you ask me to shake
off that carriage which follows us. If
that is all, madam, It very easily can
be arranged."
“Hasten, then,” she said. "I leave
It to you. I was sure you knew the
city.”
I turned and gazed back through
the rear window of the carriage. True,
there was another vehicle following
us. We were by this time nearly at
the end of Washington’s limited pave
ments. It would be simple after that.
I leaned out and gave our driver some
brief orders. We led our chase across
the valley creeks on up the George
town hills, and soon as possible
abandoned the last of the pavement
and took to the turf, where the sound
of our wheels was dulled. Rapidly as
we could we passed on up the hill, our
going, which was all of earth or soft
turf, now well wetted by the rain.
When at last we reached a point near
the summit of the hill I stofped to
listen. Hearing nothing, I told the
driver to pull down the hill by the
side street, and to drive slowly. When
we finally came into our main street
again at the foot of the Georgetown
hills, not far frotn the little creek
which divided that settlement from
thg main city, I could hear nowhere
any sound of our pursuer.
“Madam,” said, turning to her, "I
think \ve may safely say we are alone.
What, now, is your wish?"
“Home!” she said.
"And where Is home?”
She locked at me, keenly for a time,
as though to read some thought which
perhaps she saw suggested either in
the tons of my voice or in some
glimpse she might have caught of my
features as light afforded. For the
moment she made no answer.
“Is it here?" suddenly I asked her,
presenting to her Inspection the sealed
missivo which I bore.
"I cannot see; it Is quite dark," she
•aid hurriedly.
“Pardon me, then —" I fumbled for
my case of lucifers, and made a faint
light by which she might read. She
pur*ed her ”t>s and shook her head.
“1 do not recognize the address,”
paid she, smiling, as she turned to
ward me.
"Is it at this door on M street, as
you go beyond this other street?” I
it haw. “Coma —think 1”

Then I thought I saw the flush
deepen on her face, even as the match
flickered and failed.
I leaned out of the door and called
to the negro driver. "Home, now,
boy—and drive fast!”
She made no protest.
CHAPTER V.
One of the Women In the Case. .
There 1, a woman at the beginning of
all great things.—Lamartine.
A quarter of an hour later, we
slowed down on a rough brick pave
ment, which led toward what then
was an outlying portion of the town —
one not precisely shabby, but by no
means fashionable. There was a sin
gle lamp stationed at the mouth of the
narrow little street. As we advanced,
I could see outlined upon our right,
just beyond a narrow pavement of
brick, a low and not more than semi
respectable house, or rather, row of
houses; tenements for the middle class
or poor, I might have said. The neigh
borhood, I knew from my acquaintance
with the city, was respectable enough,
yet It was remote, and occupied by
none of any station. Certainly it was
not to be considered fit residence for
a woman such as this who sat beside
me. I admit I was puzzled.
“This will do,” she said softly, at
length. The driver already had
pulled up.
So, then, I thought, she had been
here before. But why? Could this
indeed be her residence? Was this
indeed the covert embassy of Eng
land?
There was no escape from the situ
ation as it lay before me. I had no
time to ponder. My duty was here.
This was my message; here was she
for whom it was intended; and this
was the place which I was to have
sought alone. I needed only to re
member that my business was not
with Helena von Ritz the woman,
beautiful, fascinating, perhaps danger
ous as they said of her, but with the
Baroness von Ritz, in the belief of my
chief the ally and something more
than ally of Pakenham, in charge of
England’s fortunes on this continent.
I descended at the edge of the nar
row pavement, and was about to hand
her out at the step, but as I glanced
down I saw that the rain had left a
puddle of mud between the carriage
and the walk.
“Pardon, madam,” I said; "allow
me to make a light for you—the foot
ing is bad.”
I lighted another lucifer, just as she
hesitated at the step. She made as
though to put out her right foot, and
withdrew it. Again she shifted, and
extended her left foot. I faintly saw
proof that nature had carried out her
scheme of symmetry, and had not al
lowed wrist and arm to forswear
themselves! I saw also that this foot
was clad in the daintiest of white slip
pers, suitable enough as part of her
ball costume, as I doubted not was
this she wore. She took my hand
without hesitation, and rested her
weight upon the step—an adorable
ankle now more frankly revealed. The
~ r~ ——
"And Whor* la Your HoiMf**
briefness of the lucifers was merciful
or merciless, as you like.
“A wide step, madam; be careful,”
I suggested. But still she hesitated.
A laugh, half of annoyance, half of
amusement, broke from her lips. As
the light flickered down, she made as
though to take the step; then, as luck
would have It, a bit of her loose
drapery, which was made In the wide
skirted and much-hooped fashion of
the time, caught at the hinge of the
carriage door. It was a chance glance,
and not intent on my part, but I saw
that her other foot was stockinged,
hut not shod!
“I beg madam’s pardon,” I said
gravely, looking aside, ‘‘but she has
perhaps not noticed that her other
slipper is lost In the carriage."
“Nonsense!” she said. “Allow me
your hand across to the walk, please.
It is lost, yes.”
"But lost —where?” I began.
"In the other carriage!" she ex
claimed, and laughed freely.
Half hopping, she was across the
walk, through the narrow gate, and
up at the door before I could either
offer an arm or ask for an explana
tion. Some whim, however, seized
her; some feeling that in fairness she
ought to tell me now part at least of
the reason for her summoning me to
her aid.
"Sir,” she said, even as her hand
reached up to the door knocked? "I
admit you have acted as a gentleman
should. I do not know what your
message may be, but I doubt not it is
meant for me. Since you have this
much claim on my hospitality, even
at this hour, I think I must ask you
to step within. There may be some
answer needed.”
“Madam," said I, “there is an an
swer needed. lam to take back that
answer. I know that this message is
to the Baroness von Ritz. 1 guess it
to be important; and I know you are
the Baroness von Ritz."
"Well, then," said she, pulling
about her half-clad shoulders the
light wrap she wore; “let me be as
free with you. If I have missed one
shoe, I have not lost it wholly. I lost
the slipper in a way not quite planned
on the program. It hurt my foot. 1
sought to adjust it behind a curtain.
My gentleman of Mexico was in wine.
I fled, leaving my escort, and he fol
lowed. I called to you. You know the
rest. I am glad you are less In wine,
and are more a gentleman.”
“I do not yet know my answer,
madam.”
“Come!” she said; and at once
knocked upon the door.
I shall not soon forget the surprise
which awaited me when at last the
door swung open suddenly at the hand
of a wrinkled and brown old serving
woman —not one of our colored wom
en, but of some dark foreign race.
The faintest trace of surprise showed
on the old woman’s face, but she
stepped back and swung the door
wide, standing submissively, waiting
for orders.
We stood now facing what ought to
have been a narrow and dingy little
room In a low row of dingy buildings,
each of two stories and so shallow in
extent as perhaps not to offer space
to more than a half dozen rooms. In
stead of what should have been, how
ever, there was a wide hall —wide as
each building would have been from
front to back, but longer than a half
dozen of them would have been! I
did not know then, what I learned
later, that the partitions throughout
this entire row had been removed, the
material serving to fill up one of the
houses at the farthest extremity of
the row. There was thus offered a
long and narrow room, or series of
rooms, which now 1 saw beyond pos
sibility of doubt constituted the resi
dence of this strange woman whom
chance had sent me to address; and
whom still stranger chance had thrown
in contact with me even before my er
rand was begun!
She stood looking at me, a smile
flitting over her features, her stock
inged foot extended, toe down, serving
to balance her on her high-heeled sin
gle shoe.
“Pardon,, sir," she said, hesitating,
as she held the sealed epistle in her
hand. "You know me—perhaps you
follow me—l do not know. Tell me,
are you a spy of that man Paken
ham?"
Her words and her tone startled
me. I had supposed her bound to Sir
Richard by ties of a certain sort. Her
bluntnees and independence puzzled
me as much as her splendid beauty
enraptured me. I tried to forget both.
“Madam, I am spy of no man, unless
I am such at order of my chief, John
Calhoun of the United States senate—
perhaps, if madam pleases, soon of
Mr. Tyler’s cabinet"
In answer, she turned, hobbled to a
tiny marquetry table, and tossed the
note down upon it, unopened. I waited
patiently, looking about me meantime.
I discovered that the windows were
barred with narrow slats of iron with
in, although covered with heavy dra
peries of amber silk. There was a dou
ble sheet of iron covering the door by
which we had entered.
"Your cage, madam?" I inquired.
“I do not blame England for making
it so secret and strong! If so lovely
a prisoner were mine, I should double
the bars.”
The swift answer to my presumption
came in the flush of her cheek and her
bitten lip. She caught up the key from
the table, and half motioned me to the
door. But now I smiled in turn, and
pointed to the unopened note on the
table. "You will pardon me, madam,”
I went on. “Surely it is no disgrace
to represent either England or Amer
ica. They are not at war. Why
should we be?” We gazed steadily at
each other.
The old servant had disappeared
when at length her mistress chose to
pick up my unregarded document. De
liberately she broke the seal and read.
An instant later, her anger gone, she
was laughing gaily.
“See” said she, bubbling over with
her mirth; “I pick up a stranger, who
should say good-by at my curb; my
apartments are forced; and this is
what this stranger asks; that I shall
go with him, to-night, alone, and other
wise unattended, to see a man, per
haps high in your government, but a
stranger to me, at his own rooms —■
alone! Oh, la! la! Surely these
Americans hold me high’”
“Ageureflly we do, madam," I an
swered. “Will it please you to go iq
your own carriage, or shall I return
with one for you?”
She put her hands behind her back,
holding in them the opened message
from my chief. “I am tired. 1 am
bored. Tour impudence amuses me;
and your errand is not your fault.
Come, sit down. You have |>een good
to me. Before you go, I shall have
some refreshments brought for you.”
I felt a sudden call upon my re
sources £S 1 found myself in this sin
gular situation. Here, Indeed, more
easily reached than I had dared hope,
was the woman in the case. But only
half of my errand, the easier half, was
done.

Sense of Direction in Animals.
The remarkable faculty which cats,
dogs, pigeons and other animals pos
sess of returning In a straight line to
a point of departure has awakened
much curiosity on the part of natural
ists. Some refer it to instinct, some
to intelligence similar to man, seme
to an internal mechanism which
makes the animal simply automata,
but none of these attempted explana
tions does anything toward solving
the mystery. One of our ablest mod
ern scientific writers supposes th'at
when an animal is carried to a grest
distance in a basket its fright makes
it very attentive to the different odora
which it encounters upon the way, and
that the return of these odors, in in
verse order, furnishes the needful
guide.
