SUMMER HEALTH HAZARDS . . Flics, spiders and other bugs contribute to the health sards of summer time, according to a bulletin issued today the Bureau of Publicity of the Indiana State Medical As:iotion. ' ' 1 "r lies are disagreeable and dangerous, for they carry ease," the bulletin said. "The horse fly is known to transt diphtheria, typhoid fever and milder intestinal upsets, ildren and babies especially may be infected with fly-born esses from food, ' . . ; ' ' "Swatting the fly is at best an ineffective procedure, for cry une you kill,, thousands are breeding.

f CHAPTER XVIH i RowToon Street,- Captain North recalled, on hailing a passing rickshaw, lay jsst inside' the Native
I City i a fact which evoked mixed re
actions. In the International Zone Captain North was indeed a minor ozar. Oh the far side of Soochow Creek he would be just another foreign deril. Moreover, the invasion of an important Chinese home was attended by risks of an exceedingly unpleasant nature, - Resolutely, North switched his mind from such a macabre train of thought. ' ' Nuinber 12 proved it be a typical Chinese home of the' better sort, boasting an outer and several inner courts, Such as would normally be occupied by servants and the less important members of the family. Barring the entrance to the outer .court was a formidable gate, topped with . spikes and guarded by the usual Fo dogs. "Tajen will force admission?" j - Captain North shook- his head.' "No, If we try that they'd very likely kill Adams always provided "WhSl then, O Born Before i! Was?" . -"Have you.atiy idea of how badly Knurr ?a hurt?"
i "Only that hot-blooded Colonel almost fell hr descending from taxi ! Also there were large spots on side- : walk;' since removed by Mongol , tnafoo. ....... 1 "Has anybody come out of the house except the groom?" i "No, Tajen." "Um. Then it should pay us to wait. Go and tell your nephew to let as know if anyone tries to leave 1 by the back." Perhaps twenty minutes later a ' email door, set into the spike crowned gates, opened and an elderly house "boy," wearing an European overcoat and hat over his native robe, slipped out. 1 "Wait here, Chao Ko ; this may be i a stall," North murmured before ?6tarting after the hurrying servant. ; Ten minutes later the "boy" reapi peared before Number 12 in comi pany with a tall white man Who i walked close beside him and, in ex1 cited French, inquired into the proj, apective patient's condition. A peculiar triple knock and an explanation' j of "Foreign devil physician" caused ,' bolts' to click sleepily and the wicket door to swing open. ' s
Once inside thr courtyard Cap
tain North pressed his .32 even more
firmly against the house "boy s"
ribs. Judging by the old fellow's manifest terror, he was likely to
give ao trouble, ' but nevertheless

smooth.. . ...
Two armed guards wearing green
uniforms, roughly similar to Spurr's, presented arms' . smartly .enough when North halted before a particularly terrifying devil screen,
but nevertheless, aharp suspicion
lurked in their eyes. Drawing a deep
breath, Hugh North entered a room
m which only two or three native
lanterns glowed. ,
"Here, Taipan, la doctor man,"
the "boy" quavered, and; after clos
ing the door, he pattered across the room to crouch against the opposite wall, his eyes riveted upon the menace concealed in North's coat pocket. .
"well, sir. Let s take a look at
yon. vv here are you hits"
"Through chest. I c n tell I'm
pretty bad, Doa." At the feebleness of the voice coming from a couch set
deep among the shadows, North Was not surprised. Half a glance revealed the adventurer's serious condition. Uniform tunic hurriedly ripped open, booted feet spread wide apart, he lay limp on the great couch clutching a blood stained bath towel to his chest and breathing hoarsely, though hi 3 chin was tilted upwards as if to ease a pressure on his throat.
"Sorry to find you like this, Colo
nel. Even if I were a doctor, there's nothing I could do you're pegging out pronto." . . , .
By a prodigious effort, the pros-
trate figure raised its head an inch
or so; . "
"Oh,- so ifs you, Cap? Well in't surprised been wondering
why you - passed up chance . in kitchen 1-" The voice became lost in a 1 strangled, sobbing sort of cough.'
- "Hard lines, Spurr, but you had
more of a chance than either La-
rbusse or Chen." - "Confound it all you goin' to preach?" The old fire flared in Spurr's faint tones. "No. Why did yon kill Laronsse?" "Frog swine trilcl to chisel my
percentage on deal Louie' was
fool enough to turn ugly. Threatened to tip off police about my having fixed Dankoff." "You came back to Adams' room to look for the rule, didn't you?" "Yeah. I couldn't get it backwatched the Coloniale all night see if yon'd figure message took
from Dankoif."
"You " kiilei LuSx liefore Lafousse?" ' A little silence ensued, during
which the house "boy" began to
Whimper drearily. "You're one smart guy, North,
Sure, I killed bin-didn't want no competition too much dough this deal " Visibly the harsh powder burned face, commenced to crumple
and to lall into sorter. linns. "How much longer; Cap?" . "Very soon; badnt you belter tell me -wiere to find Adams?" - "No, I will not 1"
"Why not?" North's voice was low and very earnest. "I'll get him any
how."
"No, you won't, Cap! Two of my
men have orders kill him if anybody comes "
"nut; ne s no use to you now, Spurr, and I want him very badly."
Frances Houghton, Mary Lou Templtton, Msxine Keenan and thf bride-elect, Ruth Keenan. Those unable to be present but
who sent gifts were Alice Webb, followed, during which the Miami
Tha Btricken soldier tried
speak but coughed instead. " j "Where's house boy? Gettin' sd darkcan't see hira " "Here, Taipan, here! The bid Chinese scuttled over to kneel beside tha couch and listen to Spurr gasp a few sentences in some Manchu dialect unfamiliar to North. Casting the man from G -2 a fright
ened glance, the "boy" immediately
slippered out; the guards growled something, then followed a hurried tramping of feet. .... Why was the dying man treating him to such a horrible grin? A sudden alarm seized the man from G-2. "What did you say?" Ho bent low over the couch. "You must tell me what you told that boy 1" " if yon want Adams Cap you can go left down corridor " Hugh North started to turn, but Spurr'a breathing thickened suddenly. "in a minute. Td better stay with you until" -Spurr's voice was verv faint.
"Been alone against the world a long
nme guess 1 can leave it without
no cheering section. I ain't afraid of" With very little fuss for so turbulent a person. Colonel David '
Spurr ceased to breathe. - What 'orders had the dead man
issued? Halted at the bedroom door, North hesitated. Save for a sound of stealthy footsteps in the distance,
JNum&er 12 Kowloon street seemed utterly silent. No rifles cracked when ho gingerly thrust onen tha
door, so he stepped out.: A beam of light slanting across the corridor floor some little distance to his left
attracted his attention; On tiptoes Hugh North stole down the passage. Disdaining the melodrama of a leveled pistol, he kept the weapon in his pocket even j when he suddenly Stepped forward; to fill the doorway. : In the armchair of a comfortablj furnished room, a sallow individual ; clad in ill fitting tweeds sat reading. Abruptly aware of an apparition at the doorway, he dropped his magazine and sprang up pale eyes wide with alarm, 1 "What the devil do you want?" j "You, Major." .. . Six months" later, back in Washington, D. C, Captain North had been congratulated officially and (in the" nature of his work) privately for that important arrest of Major j Adams. The latter, finally con-science-stricken had confessed all: details' of his flight, deals with for-; eign Bpies, and disclosed the all-im ! portant formula which was reduced, to writing now in secret War Department files. The agent, callea' Knrt, bad disappeared from the! Shanghai scene, and Marya Gallian has made no claim to the reward promised for her part in the apprehension of her former "fiance." Adams, incidentally, convicted by conrt.martial on a desertion charge and cashiered, was of so much use to the Government that he has returned to the Far East some say on "private business"; other say, Captain North only knows what that "business" is.
