How did you get here yourself, tor tiiiat toatier?" "I came down the river in a sort of boat. I'm afraid I borrowed that without pcrm.is-ion. Ik)' you call that stealing?" "Sound.s like it, but I doubt if it matters much. The point is did Mr. I'erklu come by boat too?" ".N'o, I should imagine he caiiie the same w'ay that iic wmt, ,nnd that was across the river by some kinil of bridge." ".•V bridge?" "Yes, there seems to be siime .foit of mechanical bridge.

We'd seen you come down the street and try to got In, but we thought that you'd given It up. We kiiww loo that Perkin was -., i the prowl, but he seemed to be lately employed in that buslnefis of hia ac- ross the river. We never realized that that was the back door to this place, though It seems obvious en- ough now. Anyway, In case some- lliiuK unpleasant did happen, we thought It would be as well to lo- cate Mr. Montaila, so we worked our way In tiuietly and the two of you were talking so loud we could have hoard every word on the next floor.

"Kver otcur to you that she might 4iave gone off on her own account?" "She'd never do that," answered A<livm confidently. "Well you never know with young females. That's what it looks liltely to turn out as so far." Ailam had no patience with that suggestion. He Kiliook his bead an- grily, at which the Inspector smiled. "You come along with me," he -said. "I want you to tell me what all that he wa8 saying about some chairs was meant to be." Adam told him as thty !,ougt'it the police station, but thn infoiniatlon only seemed to puzzle him.

Not for a long time have I received a leiu^r which presents such a vital problem, hav- ing in it all the elements of romance, pathos, unhapplness, and In essence, generosity of heart. It goes as fol- lowi': ".My prohlem is oivj> wliit^i may be more prevalent than is thought now- I have for about eight yeart; been living with a man â- who loves me devotedly and whom I love with all my heart. His wife gave him a lot ot trouble and uivhappiness, fin- ally leaving him to go abroad. She consented to divorce him, hut when it eamo to the final point she refus. ed. Now she is back again and wishes to resume her life with him. In the meantime, he and I have been living as huibaud and wife, and we have one child of whom we are both passionately fond. My "hus- band'' does not want to have any- thing to do with hia wife, and insists on a divorce, and he now has evid- ence which will enable him to obtain a divorce, if she will not do so her. self. The point that I would like to have your opinion on is whether Uils woman or myself would make the better wife to him. As 1 Itnve said already, I love him with all my heart, but If I thmight Ills happiues.q de- pended on this other woniau, I would leave him, despite all there has been bntweon us, and in spile o£ our boy.

She i.s nraiow. minded and seUisih, aud undoubtedly througU all this affair she has been actuated solely by her own desires and veil-inter- ests.

Philadelphia. â€" Discovery of a vaccine against lobar pneumonia was reported by Dr. John A. Kolmer recently before the 19th annual clin. ical meeting of the Americr.n College of Physicians. The physician, who gained promln- ence through big discovery ot an In. fantile paralysis vaccine, said the new serum was the result of three years' investigation at the Research Institute for Cutaneous Medicine. "So far we have had a very large degree of success in the treatment of dogs, monkeys and othe- animals," he said. "We feel that the time has now come wh/'n the vaccine can be used successfully on human beings, particularly those wiho are exposed to pneumonia because ot their occupations." He said the group Included such outdoor workers as policemen, fire- men and others. "The vaccine is purely a preven- tive one,'' he said. Dr. Kolmer said the vaccine was made from five types of germs which cause the disease. He added tliat it had been successful in from SO to S5 per cent of the cases in which it Was used.

Roosevelt said recently, women were showing great ingenuity in solving depression problems. Among her 2,000 weekly letters, however, there is an increasing pro- portion from "white collar" women seeking help on individual problems rather than .just any kind of a job. "While there is a decrease in the number of people who want jobs, there is a change," Mrs. Roosevelt said. "Their problems cannot be fitted easily into categories because the individual requests are more for some specific thing that will help them get back on their feet, some way to carry on a business they have started, or help them get something they need on the farm, or find ways to educate their children. To many of them, these things seem the last jump over their difficulties." Each retiuest is investigated, she I said, and some way usually is found to aid those who really need it.
