Consult Doctor On Skin Moles i

l *ll ■ By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WHEN pealing with any form of sk|n growth or tumor, it is important never to have it treated -by untrained and unskilled hands. Any skin growth should be carefully diagnosed by a physician bell fore treatment is *undertaken. One type of skin disorder that may give rise to cancer of a highly malignant type is a dark mole. Some doctors believe that every dark (pigmented) skin tumor or mole can give rise to a potential cancer. Not All Moles Dangerous This does not necessarily mean that all moles will eventually produce cancer, or are dangerous. Most of the skin spots, known as moles, that, are present at birth, or. appear after birth, never undergo any cancerous change. . Most moles are sharply separated from the adjoining skin, and have a definite round or 97a! outline. They are usually elevated from the skin, and are either the same color as the skin or a deep brown. They may also have hair growing from them. This type of mole can he removed with safety. On the otherhand, we sometimes see moles present at birth, soon after birth, or at any time of life, which are flat, with hardly any elevation from the skin level, irregular in outline rather than round or oval, and brown-black to coal-blue. This type of mqle

Rena, holding a slim paper-bound book in Her hand, he becomes so furious that •she flees the house in terrors She man-, ages to reach Henry Gamadge, noted bibliophile detective, who on hearing her story decides to hide her in his household. Why. she asks Mr. Gamadge, did the sight of that little book, the story of some ancient crime, so terribly disturb her huAband? Seated with the great authority on old books and scripts in his study. Rena tells him all about herself and Gray and their marriage. She and Gray had been happy enough together in their old brown stone house until his brother and sister, Jerome and Hildreth, came on from Hie west to join them. \ But, they had come at Gray’s; own bidding! While they chat young Ordway, a neighbor, drops in casually to visit Rena, but Gamadge points out that the indiscretion of any young gentleman calling on a missing wife may cause trouble for that wife. Caution is the watch word now!) Ordway asks his grandmother about the Austen family, for she had known them all her life. Gray Austen had never met his benefactor untie, because the families lived widely apart. But when word of Gray’s gallantry in the war reached him, it pleased the old gentleman find so he had favored Gray Austen above all other Austens in his will. CHAPTER TEN AFTER a moment Wolfram said: “Wpjl, I’m glad the poor fellow consoled himself.” He looked nkrrowly at Malcolm. "You know the poor little thing at all well?” a) ‘‘Quite well, at one time.” He added: “I was way when she died.” • ■ Wolfram shook his head\ and sighed heavily. “Couldn’t shake it off, couldn’t shake it off.” A “Even at her age,” said 'Malcolm. "I was a little surprised.” Wolfram said: “Well, of course, ifAyou Hadn't seen much of her of late years you would be surprised.” Malcolm had been heavily briefed, but he now found himself decidedly at sea. He judged it best to take a plunge: “I might have guessed, I suppose.” “No resistance.” The doctor. "You see a good deal of that kind of thing.” ‘‘Not a stable temperament.” “No. No. ‘That restaurant,” muttered Malcolm. "But ■ Gray Austen assured me that she shqwed no sign of drinking when they married. Well, we all know these intervals. And the really sad thing was that poor Austen couldn’t keep after her, being as he was crippled?* Malcolm wagged his head again. “1 fplt very badly about that case,” s.aid Wolfram. "Truth is, she had no will to live.” •. “Almost like suicide.” , "You could really call it that. Caught this severe cold from exposure, and got out of bed and out of the house twice to supply herself.” 1 A , . “Might almost have more humane to keep it in the house for her.” "She’d have killed herself»either way. Well,” said the doctor, rising as Malcolm rose, “as I said, I'm glad he did better the second time. Quiet iello’.V, you wouldn’t realise all he’d been thiough himself. Got the knee bailing out of his plane —1 mean they shot him. Well, I hope i you won’t hear from »/our knee again, Mr. Malcolm; or from anv other joint.” Malcolm paid his bill in the outer office and 16ft.

library. Little Henry and the animals were getting their share, and the baby was passed from lap to lap. Malcolm had it handed to him as he entered; he dangled it expertly while he reported: “Woll ram’s a nice man, I told him all about the wife’s rheumatism and got all her remedies; she won’t thank me for the news that nothing has changed in that ghastly little comer of medicine since her last attack. Wolfram is as horn st as the day, and 1 had to exercire a good deal of histrionic ability to And out that the first Mrs. A. wa s a dipsomaniac. It seems to have started after marriage, and she seems to have brought her pneumonia on by her own unaided efforts, poor thing. Wolfram says she nad no wish to live.” : "Took to drink, did she?” Gamade looked at Rena, who was listening horrified. “That was her solution. Well, it’s one way out." “I suppose he couldn’t have managed it?” suggested Clara. "pon’t think so.” said Malcolnj. “Not the way Wolfram told it. She would get up aUd go out with a\ cold on her chest.” ... “The servants were on deck.” said "and the re d be nurses.” Rena said after a moment:' “I suppose until the pneumonia developed she d be able to go out if she. liked, sick or vyell.” "You mean those Austen .-ser-, vants wouldn’t pay any attention to her?” “Nobody would,” said Rena in a low voice. \ Malcolm, the baby over his shoulder, studied her in silence. Then he said: "Weil, we can’t fix responsibility,' that’s one sure thing.” Gamadge said with annoyance: "I’m stumped. Completely up a stump She was our only bet, an<j Wolfram’s ruined us." 1 f ’’You did ,say those books made yob think of something, Mr Gamadge," said* Rena. “But the worst of it. is, what they reminded me of wasn’t anything that was in them,” said Gamadge with a scowl. They all looked at him blankly. "I can t explain,” he told them flatty. ‘-It’s like trying to remember a dream." ' "But if what you can’t remember isn’t anything in the booKs," urged Clara, “then it must be what Rena said the books looked like.” “Not exactly.” Malcolm handed the baby back to Rena ansl stood gazing at noth: ing and rubbing the back of riitg head. “Then it must be because :here were two books,” he declared at last. I “That’s the catch.” said Gas madge. “What I can’t remember is only about one of them.” "The trial, of course," said Clara. "The murder caSe.” "I’m not at all sure.” answered Gamadge. his eyes roving. "In fact I’m almost sure not.” Clara cast herself down on the chesterfield; the baby, for the first time since Rena had entered the house, began to cry. “I must have pinched him," ahe said, dazed. ; . / -

The telephone rang and Gamadge went over to his writingtable to\ answer it. Malcolm collected himself. "The big question now," he said briskly, "is when Miss Brown is coming to us. I understand that the children’s authorized guardian is coming back tomorrow, and she mustn’t find that her stand-in has been wearing her uniform—very much taken in at the seams, I imagine. There’s lots of material for you to work on up in our place, Miss Brown; my wife can’t wait, - She says to tell you followers are allowed, and you will have the usual perquisites:? cocktails at the blue hour, and meals with the family. And Austen being such an admirer of Gamadge’s, he might just drop in here and get past Theodore; whereas he never eVen heard of us." “Such delightful notions' you do have.” said Clara. “Gamadge will remember about those little books,"! continued Mai- \ coim, “or if he Aiesn’t, he’ll dig it out some other way. I know the qki brain. He’ll get Austen sent up the river, and by the time he gets out —life sentence because of his war! wound—commuted for nice behavior—you’ll be married to some responsible character whose wives don’t have to drink themselves, to death or run away.” ’’You’re getting a little ahead of us. Dave." suggested Clara. "Our Miss Brown isn’t used to your realistic approach. You can see she doesn’t care for it.” "All the same,” said Malcolm, "ahe’ll be the better for getting her mind on something else.” - Gamadge returned, a half-sheet of notes in his hand. "That was Schenck, down in Washington. I got hold of him last night, and this morning he managed to look up Gray Austen’s war record for us.” “Useful man," said Malcolm, "if you don’t mind having the F. B. I. practically in the house with you.” “Captain Austen’s career was blameless and better than blameless,” said Gamadge. “Boiled down, it amounts to this: he was a fights er pilot, right through the war: his outfit ended up in the Pacific area, and he got that smashed knee towards the finish. First he was taken to hospital in the Philippines, and then brought by hospital ship to California; was in hospital there, and got his brace and everything, and emerged from there and from the army early in 1&46. There was never a thing the matter with him, mentally or physically, so far as his command knew, and so far as the California people knew, except that smashed knee. No crack-upa. nothing. Seems to have been one x>f those idegl airmen. So/’ said Gamadge. looking up, “it Would see m as though he’d developed the depression and so on—to be polite about it—after the war." v "Being lame might do it.” said Malcolm, reflecting. “Byron is sunposed to have suffered agonies over his lame foot." , "Deformed foot.” Gamadge reminded him; “and he was born With it."
