She tore back the flap and drew out a folded sheet. “Why—there’s no Look, Chris!” There were two paragraphs on the typewritten page. The un- signed letter read: “Dear Miss Travers: This is to warn you that if you tell any more to the newspapers you will be out of the picture, You are being watched night and day. - “If you go to the Wellington in- vestigation you'll never live to get out of the courtroom. Watch your step and keep your trap shut and nobody will hurt you. If you dis- regard this warning you'll regret it.” The rest of the page was blank.

It was not yet six o'clock but the apart- ment was dusky. Chris pressed the electric light switch at the side of the door before entering. She gave a quick, searching glance about the room. : “There's nobody here,” she said almost as though she had suspected there would be, Norma closed the door and put the packages she had been carrying on the table, She held up the let- ~ : commerce; Beaver White, represent- ing the Food Administration; Frank C.

You don't mean—you don't think there’s any- thing to be frightened about?” Quickly Chris crossed the room, turned the night lock on the door. She turned and faced Norma de fensively. “I don’t know what to think,” she said, “and anyhow thinking ign’t safe!

Norma insisted the let- ter was harmless, sent by some practical joker with a distorted sense of humor or by someone suf- fering from halucinations. To all this Chris protested: “1 hope you're right! Heaven knows T hope you're right! But we're not going to take chances!” Half a dozen times during the evening Chris thought she heard sounds in the hall. She insisted on leaving a light burning when they went to bed. In the morning she looked worn out and as though she had slept little. “But, Chris,” Norma protested, “I don’t see why you should worry so about that letter. If anybody wanted to harm me they wouldn't warn me about it, would they? Of course the letter doesn’t mean any- thing!” “Will you believe it means some- thing if Bob says so?” “He won't. Bob would say the very things I've been telling you.” “Well, I want to show it to him’ ‘Will you let me take the letter this morning and show it to Bob?” “Of course, Let’s sse—what did I do with it?” The message was produced and folded away in Chris’ hand When the two girls left for the office it was Chris whose eyes had dark shadows and whose checks were too white, As they boarded the street ‘car she, noticed a man wearing a gray cap across the street. He had been watching them. Chris did not men- tion the man to Norma. The day in Frederick Stuart's office passed just as its predecessors. At noon Norma had sandwiches and coffee sent up from the first floor She did not like to go out these days because she was sure to be stared at. A boy brought in the afternoon newspapers and laid them on her desk, Norma scanned the first pages. District Attorney Flynn was quoted for almost a column. The Welling- ton prosecution was to open next Wednesday. Nothing in the newspapers the girl had not known. A heated de- nial from the chief of police that apything was wrong in his depart- jent followed the Flynn interview. There was a picture of “Whitey” lunch counter.

Norma put the newspapers aside distastefully. A little later she heard footsteps and looked up. Chris Saunders stood in the door way. “Oh, Chris! You startled me!” Her roommate entered the office. “Anybody here?” she asked in a low voice. Norma shook her head. Stuart’s gone to lunch.” eee ‘HIS sank to a chair beside the other girl. “I’ve just been talk- ing to Bob,” she said, dropping her voice almost.to a whisper. “He's taken the letter and gone to see Flynn. It’s what I thought, Nor ma! Whitey Black’s been getting anonymous threats in the mail, too. They've hidden him away some where and the police are guarding him.

I'm not going to stay there eitier, I'm going to Minnie Baker's.” s A figure loomed in the doorway and Chris started. It was only Frederick Stuart, back from his lunch hour. Stuart passed on into his private office apd Chris arose to go. “Bob sald for you to wait for him,” she reminded Norma just before she disappeared. - After she was gone Norma stared for several moments at the blank sheet of paper in her typewriter. Presently her fingers began tapping the keys again. It was not Bob Farrell who was Norma's next caller, but a middle aged woman dre: in brown. She gave the name “Mrs. Everett” and asked to see Norm: Five minutes had ontered Stuart’s office the buzzer rang. Notebook in hand, Norma answered. Stuart was leaning back in his desk chair and Mrs. Everett sat facing him. “Come in, Miss Travers,” Stuart sald, When she had closed the door he continued. “Mrs, Everett bas come from District Attorney Flynn's office. She has told me that because of the importance of your testimony at the hearing next week the district attorney thinks your whereabouts should be concealed. Mrs. Everett has come to take you to a place where you will be safe and where you will be assured of freedom from annoyances of all sorts. Here is the message from Flynn.” Stuart handed Norma a sheet of paper on which a dozen lines were written. She recognized the dis trict attorney’s signature, The note said that the bearer was an accredited representative and that “Mr. appeal to the generosity and human- ity of our whole people.—President Hoover. * +* Only when the Wealthy classes be- gin to feel that the purchasing power of the poor is again normal will they themselves have the feeling of being able to spend without remorse.— Andre Maurois, New York, Oct. 14—Some day the King of Siam 1s certain to be deco- rated as the greatest “visiting fire- man” New York has ever entertained.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association It has been found that the blood serum of people who have recently recovered from the disease contains @ substance which is of the greatest importance in attacking the disease. Tt is therefore desirable that an in- jection of such serum. be made into the muscles and into the spine of the child that is affected as son as pos- sible. This seems to be of particular importance in preventing paralysis, which is one of the most serious re- its of this disorder. During the first few weeks of the disease, the child must be kept ab- solutely at rest because inflamed or irritated tissue will always do better when quiet. Later a competent phy- sician, by the use of electrical stimu- lation and careful massage, can be- gin to do much to restore to the para- lyzed tissue the function that has been lost. Of particular value in this work is the system of controlled ex- ercise under water, or so-called wa- ter gymnastics. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, who himself suffered from infantile paralysis, has aided in the development of an institution for this special purpose, but the method 1s also available in most of the large cities of the United States. Frequently people with infantile paralysis die because the muscles of § the chest,-which are concerned with breathing, have become paralyzed. A machine was invented which does the breathing for such people until the muscles get back their function. It » has already been the means of sav- ing many lives. Dr. William H. Park of the New York city department of health, em- Phasized the very great importance t of early diagnosis and the way in which health departments can be helpful for this purpose. If a child has a headache, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, pain, stiffness of the back, legs and spine, and general ir- Titability, it may be coming down with this disease. A competent physician can remove some of the spinal fluid. When this is examined in the laboratory, changes in the fluid may be found which are suggestive of this disease. At such a time an immediate injection of suitable serum may be the means of prompt recovery and of prevention of the paralysis. that go to make up the metropolis.

A taxicab that had been waiting a little to the left drew up before the entrance, Mrs, Everett and Norma stepped inside. The girl did not recognize the dress she heard given to the iriver but presently they were skimming out of down-town traffic and heading west. They drove along well-kept residential streets, past massive apartments. “Is it fart” Norma asked. “Not much farther. We're al- — most there.” ‘The taxi halted before a five story spartment building.
