PART FIVE "Well, Mr. Holmes, from the moment that I understood that there was something about that suite of rooms which I was not to know I was all on fire to go over them. It was not mere curiosity, though 1 have my share of that. It was more a feeling of duty a feeling that some good might come from my penetrating to this place.

They talk of woman s instinct; per

haps it was woman's instinct which .. 71. .;,

the child. They were all horrible to me. If I could only bring you down

gave me that feeling. At any rate, it was there, and I was keenly on the lookout for any chance to pass the forbidden door. "It was only yesterday that the chance came. I may tell you that, besides Mr. Rucastle, both Toller and his wife find something to do in these deserted rooms, and I once -saw him carrying a large black linen bag,with him through the door. Recently he has been drinking hard, and yesterday evening he was very drunk; and, when I came upstairs, there was the key in the door. I have no doubt at all that he had left it there. Mr, and. Mrs. Rucastle were both downstairs, and the child was with them, so that I had an admirable opportunity. I turned the

j key gently in the lock, opened the jdoor, and slipped through.

'There was a little passage in front of r me. unpapered and uncarpeted. which turned at a right angle at the farthest end. Round this corner were three doors In a line, the first and third

of which were open. They each led ' into an empty room, dusty and cheerless, with two windows in the one and one In the other, so thick with dirt that the evening light glimmered dimly through them. The center door was closed, and across the outside of it had been fastened one of the broad bars of, an iron bed, padlocked at one end to a ring in the wall, and fastened at the other with stout cord. The

door itself was locked as well, and the key was not there. This barricaded door corresponded clearly with the shuttered window outside, and yet I could see by the glimmer from beneath it that the room was not in darkness. Evidently there was a sky-

, light, which let in light from above.

' The law commands that the state board of health shall make studies of , the public health, collect statistics, , and endeavor to lead and direct the people in the ways of better health and greater strength with their consequent

'- . Health first should be our slogan. ' Our health is only about 50 percent

of what it should be. Ill health, sickness and disease with their cost and inefficiency and their train of social and political ills, are not visited upon ! us. We Invite them and they come. ', The great Pasteur left us a message, ; the value of which has not been well , appreciated. He said 'It Is within : the power of man to drive all Infecti-

; ous diseases from the earth." This ; ; simple truth Is now plain to us all, ; yet we still suffer greatly from pre- ;; ventable diseases. This fact does not speak highly for our intelligence and

our ability to be practical. Dr. Oliver

Holmes writes: God gave his creatures light and air . -

And waters open to the skies, Man hides him an awful lair And wonders why his brother dies. Hospitals are in a degree monu- ; ments to ill health. We would not , need them, to so great an extent, if we would obey the laws of our well-

being. The number of cases of sickness we have is a measure of our dis

regard of health. A sick man is un

fortunate In his sickness, but is more - unfortunate in being so impractical to

so live as to become sick. - List of Diseases. I Here is a list of the major prevent

able diseases which undermine our I strength and character, cost millions, I cause sterility, pauperism, crime and I delinquency: and even threaten the 1 existence of our race. They are r syphilis, gonorrhea, sclerosis, heart diseases, tuberculosis, kidney dis2 eases, liver diseases, Intestinal diseases. These maladies can and must I be Tought and reduced. They are I monsters which weaken and kill.

; For this lethargic and unreasonable J and saw a shadow pass backward and!

1 state we must arouse ourselves n we i wish to experience health, ' strength, ; wealth and happiness. These great ; blessings can not be secured from drugs and hospitals nor by wishing ; for them. They come through right living. . We neglect our children. This Is proven by the fact that actual inspections find that fully 70 percent need more or less medical attention. They sicken and die by thousands and the . short coffin industry grows apace. Bad teeth are almost universal and the Buffering and hinderance to moral, intellectual and physical development, due to bad teeth, is incalculable. It is, of course, a sin of omission on the

part of parents and government, to

fail to have and rear healthy, happy children. Yet we stupidly commit

this sin, for which we will not be held guiltless. 50 Percent Efficient. The medical findings among drafted

men during the war were startling

and proved that this great nation is

only 50 percent efficient. The said findings made it plain that we are not a, nation of 100.000,000 people but really only 50,000,000. This was because of sickness, disease and deformity most of which was acquired through

wrong living in childhood. i -The state board of health presents the above truths and urges business men, all local authorities, and all citizens to consider them and speedily conclude and act upon the fundamental principle that is expressed in this slogan. The most important business i before the business men to- . ' day is the business of the - public health. ; The state board of health will hereafter print monthly letters to the people setting forth how we must live to realize the wealth and happiness to be found in health. We hope to se

cure the co-operation, of the people in our efforts to advance the public

health. Respectfully, , . . J. N. HURTY. Secretary, The Indiana State Board of Health

I suppose that I must have rushed past him into my room. I remember nothing until I found myself lying on my bed trembling all over. Then I thought of you, Mr. Holmes I could not live there

all would be well. Of course I might

have fled from the house, but my curiosity was almost as strong as my fears. My mind was soon made up. I would send you a wire. I put on my hat and cloak, went down to the office, which is about half a mile from the house, and then returned, feeling very much easier. A horrible doubt came into my mind as I approached the door lest the dog might be loose, but I remember that Toller had drunk himself into a state of insensibility that evening, and I knew that he was the only

cne in the household who had any influence with the savage creature, or who would venture to set him free. I slipped in in safety and lay awake half the night in my joy at the thought of seeing you. I had no difficulty in getting leave to come into Winchester

this morning, but J must be back before three o'clock, for Mr. and Mrs. Rucastle are going on a visit, and will be away all the evening, so that I must look after the child. Now I have told you all my adventures, Mr. Holmes,

and I should be very glad if you could tell me what it all means, and, above all, what I should do." Holmes and I had listened spellbound to this extraordinary story. My

friend rose now and paced up and

it bodes evil for the poor girl who la in their power." "I am sure that you are right, Mr.

Holmes," cried our client. "A thousand things come back to me which makes me certain that you have hit it. Oh, let us lose not an instant in bringing help to this poor creature." "We must be circumspect, for we are dealing with a. very cunning man. We can do nothing until seven o'clock. At that hour we shall be with you, and it will not be long before we solve the mystery."

of the

sonate some one, and the real person, is imprisoned in this chamber. That is obvious. As to who this prisoner is, I have no doubt that it is the daughter, Miss Alice Rucastle, if I remember right, who was said to have gone to America. You were chosen, doubtless, as resembling her in height, figure, and the color of your hair. Here had been cut off, very possibly in some illness through which Bhe has passed, and so, of course, yours had to be sacrificed also. By a curious chance you came upon her tresses. The man in the road was, undoubtedly, some friend of hers possibly her fiance and no doubt, as you wore the girl's dress and were so like her he was convinced from your laughter, whenever he saw you, and afterwards from your gesture, that Miss Rucastle was per

fectly happy, and that she no longer

desired his attentions. The dog is let loose at night to prevent him from

endeavoring to communicate with her. So much is fairly clear. The most

serious point in the case is the disposition of the child." "What on earth has that to do with it?" I ejaculated. "My dear Watson, you as a medical man are continually gaining light as to the tendencies of a child by the study of the parents. Don't you 6ee that the converse is equally valid. I have frequently gained my first real

LET NO CORN SPOIL AN HOUR

Any Corn can be Stopped Now, any Moment, by a Touch

Science has solved the corn problem. One can now stop a corn ache instantly, and shortly remove the whole corn. The method Is gentle, scientific, sure. A famous chemist invented it. A surgical dressing house of worldwide fame produces it. It is Blue-jay the liquid or the plaster. A touch applies it. The pain ftops at once. Soon the whole corn, however ancient, loosens and comes out." - ' It makes harsh treatments unnecessary. It makes paring ridiculous. It makes every corn ache a folly. Your druggist has Blue-jay.

There only remains Mrs. Toller, who might give the alarm. If you could send her Into the cellar on some errand, and then , turn the key upon her, you would facilitate matters Immensely."
