REAL. CLAIMS TARRED ROADS MAY CAUSE CANCER City Councillor of Paris Makes Statement—Medical Experts Instigate Inquiries. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 7.—Do tarred roads cause cancer? City Councillor Jous- selin of Paris maintains they do. pointing to the greatly increased mor- tality from cancer in recent years he rves that it is particularly preva- among workers handling tar. For this reason he recently demanded that the tarring of roads should cease in the department of the Seine. The board of health referred the question to Prof. Vincent, an eminent physician, who, while admitting that the tar products, especially when handled hot, appeared to cause cancer, hesitated to affirm that the dust from tarred roads had a like effect. Hé further observed that the exact naiure of cancer was unknown to science. After hearing other medical ex- pekts who emphasized the complexity of the question the board decided to cont its inquiry, notably compar- ing the deaths from cancer in houses situated along tarred and untarred roads.. : Classified.

CHAPTER XLL Finesse. ENDRICK was so steady that it was unnatural. “You mean that men have given her valuable motor cars?’ “But, yes! The English baronet gave her the Rolls Royce. The Count Mordac—you will remember him—he gave her an Hispana Suiza, and then there is another, from one of your own countrymen, and an Isotta Fras- chini.” “Mordac!” repeated Kendrick, and remembered all he had thought about Mordac where women were concern- ed, and remembered hdw afraid Elise had seemed of the man. i It was stupendously incredible. She must either have changed completely or be the most consummate actress in the world. If she had not changed, then she had deceived him at their first meeting as he had never been deceived before in all his life. He ventured to doubt. “But surely it is impossible for that little girl 1 knew to have done all this!"” Lolette laughed. “I knew you were feeling serious about it. You are dis- appointed? “Extremely. I thought—I had hoped—well, I considered her out of place in your dressing room.” g lonsieur!” It was mock reprov- Kendrick attempted no apology. How truly regretful he had been that work and business worries had pre- vented him writing to Elise. Lolette sighed. “Oh—well, we are friends. We can be frank without tears, I think. But—voila! She is La Phalene. There is no doubt in that, monsieur. And if you stay in Paris over one more evening you may see her dance for yourself at the Joyeuse. Perhaps"—with a sly look from un- der the heavy eyelids— “she may g::’g\»lo receive you in her dressing “Perhaps,” agreed Kendrick, mood- Before they left the restaurant she said, “And are you still addicted to early rising, monsieur?" “I like a walk before breakfast,” he confessed. “You were always energetic. Now I have become affiicted with that fever also. I find there is a surpris- ing joy in the early morni I think tomorrow will be fine and I shall ride then. Would you accompany me This was like the invitation to sup- per. There was nothing eise for it. “What do you call early?” he asked. “Oh, 8 o'clock. You will come, won’t you? It {s just my fad, you know. "1 shall soon lie abed till noon, as before; but for the moment I must take the morning air.” “I shall be pleased to come,” said Kendrick. “But I insist on driving you.” He saw her home and her last words were: “Eight o'clock tomor- row morning and_a glorious drive through the Bols. You won't forget?” CHAPTER XLIL Death in the Morning. The strange duel between Ahmed and Felice was conducted on the same lines of quiet hostility which had marked the arrangements. Ahmed called round for Felice at the Grillon, and they met Mordac by appointment on the corner of the Rue Royale. Felice insisted that he should ride with Ahmed, but Ahmed insisted more strongly that Mordac make the Jjourney with Felice. “I trust, monsier,” he said, “that I shall have the pleasure of driving monsieur le comte back to Paris and his breakfast.” At which Felice laughed. So they went out together, Ahmed in front, alone, and Felice humming along behind him. To Ahmed there was a sensation of absolute unreality about the ride along the wonderful straight road which leads to the Porte Maillot and the Bols de Boulogne. He was, of course, going to beat Felice at the dice game. He had right on his side. They swung off to their left at Luna y}’l.rk. and at last reached that section of road which was nearest to the glade they had selected. They left the cars at the roadside. Felice, of all three of them, had the most to say. He deposited a brown bag on the ground and from it he took a sealed package, a folded chess voard, a bottle of champagne, three glasses and a little bottle which Ah- med knew must contain the veronal. “There,” he said, “All the proper- ties are here and the play can start. Mordac—as what I might term the neutral power in this little lrsumegt —may I ask you to open the wine? “Certainly.” Mordac opened the bottle and poured the sparkling liquid fato the glasses. He handed one to Felice, who immediately turned, and, with a bow, handed it on to Ahmed. “Will you favor me?’ he asked. Each had his gd‘“?: :lldllt was lice who proposed the toast. Fe"E:Ch of \pll :lrrieu in his heart the memory of some woman who is to him the most wonderful in the world, Gentlemen!
