The negro came around quick- ly and entered by the back way, and the woman fled from the house. ller pursuer overtook her when o few hundred yards away, and struck her several blows with the butt end of a pistol.

Between one and two years of age 22 per cent of the subjects proved contaminaated; between two and five, 53 per cent; between five and fifteen, 90 per cent; and from 91 to 97 per cent over fifteen years of age.
