"No, I'll get it, never fear." Then he leaned forward, tapped the glass, and gave an order to the taxi-driver. "Remember," he sald, "your life --and perhaps mine--hang on this, Now I am going back to get that bag. Don't be afraid. It will be all right." "Won't you let me drive to your flat, wouldn't it be better?" "How can 1?" Feodor sald. "I've; got to get that bag. It can't be found there in the morning. Now, do as I tell you and go home."

She promised, but Feodor had little faith in her ability to keep her word, in which he did her an injustice, for Greta had plenty of strength where her own comfort was concerned--as the morning wat to prove.

He did not know | | the apartment, which was not large | but luxuriously furnished, and went | first of all into two wrong rooms, | then found the salon, saw by the | reflected light from the hall that the curtains were drawn, and swit- | ched on one lamp stood just inside | the door, . | There on the floor, lying hair on | his side, half on his face, sprawled the dead man in a small pool of blood, and although Feodor listened carefully there was no sign of a heart-beat and his 'war experience told him life was extinct. Rising, | he looked carefully round the room, and saw on the flor by the couch on which were tumbled cushions, Greta's bag and handkerchief; plck- ing them up, still with carefully cov- {ered fingers, he went all through | the flat to make sure she had left no other trace, and was just leav- ing when a thought struck him and he went back to the salon, On the | floor near the dead man lay the | revolver, one chamber empty, and | lifting it he carefully wiped any pos- | sible tell-tale marks from its surface, | replaced it exactly as it had lain, | and stood for a moment listening in- tently. Only the roar of the rain on the flags of the courtyard outside, and a long peal of thunder broke the | silence, and as he glanced at the dead man an uncontrollable shud- der seized him. To linger was folly. | Controlling the nausea that for an | instant had threatened, he leit the | flat as noisely as he had entered,' {and blessing the solidity of th building, went down the stairs,' across the inner courtyard and un-| der the porte cochere to the big double doors on the strect. His footsteps were almost noiseless, but as he came level with the conclerge's door, a man holding a candle ap- peared from the room and the con- | clerge's rumhling voice halted him. | "Pardon, m'sieur, but was it you | Arblaye?" | | Something in the man's eyes | warned him to be cautious. "It was I who came In a minute or two ago, but I was not with M, D'- | Arblaye," he said. "I was alone and | wished to see him for a moment." | "It's a quer hour for visiting," the man said surlily, "and you didn't | stop long." y "That's so; but as it happened it | was not necessary, M.

If you { want my name it is Monsieur Staire d| --8-t-a-{-r-e, af the British Em- | bassey." At the ready courtesy where he | had expected cursing for curiosity, the conclerge's manner changed. { 'IL is nothing. But I thought it my duty--" | "you were quite right--" Feodor | slipped a ten-franc note into his hand. "To bad to leave your bed | on such a night--" and with thanks and a "bonne-nult, m'sieur," Staire was out of the bullding and into the deserted street--already . ghastly with -the first colorless gray of the early dawn.

H as Been Traced Back to Days of Greeks Calgary, Alta. Trachoma, dread eye direase reported among Indians on Alberta reser. vations, is an age-old affliction, dating back to early Greek his- tory, according to Dr, J. J. Wall, department of Indian affairs eye specialist, at present investigating conditions among the Indians on the Morley reserve. "Trachoma has heen 'known to be existent among the Indians of Canada for many years," Dr, Wall stated. "The disease, a chronic one, which varles in dif- ferent races and climates, works slowly and may extend over =a number of years." According to Dr. Wall the his. tory of trachoma dates back far- ther than the writings of Hlip- pocrates, the ancient Greek phy- sfican. Galen, the famous Roman physician, Dr, Wall . said, was well acquainted with the disease. "Fragments of Egyptian medi- cal literature which have come down to us show that the Egyp- tians were familiar with this oye disorder, as old as the Nile and as old as the simoon," he declar- ed. Dr. Wall revealed that failure of Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and Palestine was largely due to this disorder breaking out among the troops.

Dr. Shepherd Dawson, in his report, "Intelligence and Disease," issued by the Medical Research Council, claimg that they are. He states that children of a higher intellig- ence tend to be slightly taller than other children, The report presents thes results of an inquiry conducted at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children " d the Ruchill Hospital, Glasgow, into the effect of a disease on the intellivence of children, and the re- lationshi- between intelligence and physical development. One thous- and children, "drawn almost entire- ly", is said "from the very poor- est and most miserable strata of society," have been examined, Dr, Dawson says there was "clear evid- ence of a correlation between height and intellizence, which was greater for the boys than for the girls.
