The army's death j irate would have been 20 times what it is and malaria, dread foe of the tropical regions, would not have been 1 educed by 75 percent. No measure from the fighting fronts could be more heartening to loved one* at home. The public is familiar with blood plasma, pen- ' cillin and the sulfa drugs.

This revolutionary Treasury polit y developed out of the desperate need of newspaper mat manufacturers for high-grade rag pulp in the middle of war paper storages. Th«-y suggested to Treasury officials that tbe five ton* of money that daily goes up in smoke be utilized. C A Dickerson, director of paper and paper products, Treasury procurement division, fun nd that such a reconversion would cost very little (120,000) In new machinery and would net a profit within the first few months. In fact, ft Is estimated that the taxpayer* will benefit liy sales of powdered money amounting to upwards of *250 a day. Only reliable, established manufacturers will lie able to buy thia money-pulp as a safeguard againet sale to counterfeiter*. — Hartford City News-Times. —— O ■ If you have sifted Atlantic beach aand through your lingers you miry have noticed particles of jet black mixed among the white grains.

SYNOPSIS When Drue Cable, attractive young nurse, learned her former husband, Craig Brent, waa the victim of a so-called accidental bullet, she persuaded her friend and fellow nurse, Sarah Keate, to answer with her the call made by Dr. Claud Chi very from a small New England town. Sarah was unaware of Drue's previous connection with the Brent family which included Craig'a father, Conrad; Alexia, Conrad’s glamorous young wife who, at one time, had hoped to marry Craig; Nicky Senour, Alexia's twin brother: and Peter Huber, friend of Craig. Anna Haub. maid at the Brent mansion, told bow Craig was found in the garden the previous night, adding, “Beev•ns, the butler, said it waa an acci-dent-Mr. Craig waa cleaning a gun." Alexia ordered Drue to leave before Conrad Brent discovered her presence. Drue told Sarah the strange atory of her romance with Craig. They had married more than a year ago and Conrad Brent made no eSort to conceal his disapproval. Craig's work in the dinlomatic service summoned him to Washington, and Drue returned to New York. Shortly after, she received a letter from Conrad (which he claimed Craig had asked him to write) stating his son had resigned to enter training aa an aviator, only to discover married tnen were ineligible. Conrad said Craig wished Drue to divorce him, but promised they could rematry, with paternal blessing, when the training period was over. Drue got the divorce but never received any reply to the letters she wrote Craig. Now, she is determined not to leave until Craig regains con•ciousnesa and can talk with her. Dr. Chivery telle the eUte trooper investigating the shooting, that the bullet he removed from Craig's shoulder was accidentally throws away; the gun. too, is missing. He warns Sarah not to repeat anything the patient might say in delirium Later, Craig mumbles something about "yellow gloves." From ths window, Sarah sees Drue disappeai behind a hedge in the garden and emerge later with something hid. den beneath her cape. A few min. utes later she enters the sick room ready for duty. Sarah is telling the story. F CHAPTER NINE Yonng Brent moved a little and spoke again. He said, "But that'i murder. Tell Claud. There’ll bt murder done." He said it clearly, imperatively with complete, forceful conviction He was drugged and did not knou what he waa saying ... at least, 1 sincerely hoped he didn't know. But Drue cried, “Craig!” in a sharp whisper. "Osip —wkat de you mttnT" Bhe waited and I waited, bat h« didn't move, or speak. "Delirium,'' I said Anally. ' “Delirium?" Bhe seemed to weigh It, still watching him fixedly, and to arrive at some secret rejection. "Whv would he say that? If it’s delirium." “Why wouldn't he?" My voice was still a little high. “They aay anything in delirium. Who's Claud?” “That’s Dr. Chivery. The Chiverys are very dose friends.” It didn't help much; if there was any remote and fantastic grain of truth >n Craig Brent's words, which Heaven forbid, Dr. Chivery wasn't to do anything decisive and

prohibitive about it. i Drue was leaning over the bed again. “Craig.” Her voice was low,' but clear and urgent. “What do you mean? What murder?” After a long pause, she said, "WAo?” There was no answer. “He spoke in delirium," I repeat- ' , ed more positively. "If there was going to be a murder, I don't think i the murderer would take anybody I into his confidence beforehand. It isn’t done,” J She turned that over in her mind , and looked at me. “No. You’re , right, of course. It was silly of me , to think of anything else. There isn’t any change, is there?” i J shook my head and just then the ( door opened again. A man, the butler, I thought, ’ stood there. He was big, enormousk
