Continued. The Japanese who had brought the prospectuses from the tonneau now stepped to Maku's assistance, for Onue had made a motion of the body which showed that he was rapidly losing his patience. "Queek!" Still no answer. "Ha!" The exclamation nnd a ring of triumph. "Mees have um!" He nodded toward the car where the girl stlil sat. "No." exclaimed Orme vehemently. "She has not." "Mees have um." repeated Arinia. "We hunt, We see." "1 tell you she has not," said Orme. "Xo believe you." Arima chuckled. "Come, mees." As Orme twisted himself around, he was enraged to see the Japanese in the car seize the girl by the arm and drag her to the ground. Once on her feet, she did not resist, but permit ted herself to be led toward the lit tle group. Arima advanced a step to meet her. "Give me papers." he said. "I have no papers," she protested despairingly. "We search you." said Arima, taking another step toward her and extend ing his hands. It may be that Arima did not intend actually to lay hands on her. His thought may have been that the threat -would induce Orme to tell where the papers really were. But the effect on Orme was to set him ablaze with anger. His swift, indignant purpose seemed to multiply his strength until the lit tle men who held him were like chil dren in his hands. A sudden jerk, and he had pulled both his arms free. Maku and the man at his other side were taken com pletely by surprise, and before they had time to recover themselves. Orme had thrown his arms around them and crushed their heads together with such force that they dropped limp and unconscious to the ground. The' were out of the fight At the first sounds of struggle, Arima turned. Now, as Orme charged to ward him, ho bent slightly forward, every muscle tense, ready to strike or trip or twist His framework was overlaid by mus cles that were like supple steel. Light and quick, he had a strength that could hardly have been inferred from his build. And though Orme's out break had been sudden, the Japanese was apparently not in the least dis concerted. He knew how to turn the rush of the American into a disastrous fall. He knew how to prod with his bony knuckle the angry man's solar plexus how to step swiftly aside and bring the horny edge of his hand against sensitive vertebrae. He could seize Orme by the arm and. dropping back ward to the ground, land Orme where he wished him. Yes, Arima had ev ery reason to feel confident Many a Disease Spread By Insects House Fly, Mosquito and Bedbug Are Chief Sources of Con tagion.

But a system of offense and defense which is based upon the turning of an opponent's strength against him self absolutely depends for its success upon an accurate estimate of tb.6 op ponent's intentions. A sudden shift of physical purpose may put your jiu jitsu adept at a loss. Arima. from his knowledge of Amer ican fighting methods, had reason to think that Orme would continue his charge and strike out with his fists when he came near enough. That, however, is something that Orme did not do. For, in his two previous en counters with the Japanese, he had learned much. He had learned, among other things, the value of the unex pected. And though his anger was almost blinding, he cooled, during I those few short strides, to his usual i caution. Within two paces of Arima, he stopped short. For one tense moment Onne opened his senses to all impressions. He could hear, with almost painful dis tinctness, the moans of the two men he had stunned and the rustling sounds made by their writhings. He caught a glimpse of the girl. The searchlight of one of the cars struck full on tbp side of her face, and drew there a distinct shadow of the net work of her disarranged hair. He saw the strained, excited look in her eyes. Her captor still held her arm. He was watching Orme and Arima indif ferently, as though .quite confident of Japanese skill. All this Orme observed in an in stant. Then his eyes were again on Arima. He knew that he would have to at tack. To await the trick holds of the Japanse would he to invite defeat But if he attacked, he must use an un expected method. Suddenly he raised his left arm above his head and clenched his fist. His right arm remained by his side. A step forward. The upraised arm descended. Swiftly Arima reached up ward to seize It But even as the one arm descended. Orme swung his oth er, with terrific force, up from the waist, and caught Arima on the mouth. The blow missed the chin, but it was hard enough to fell any man of ordinary strength. Arima staggered back, past the girl, and brought up against the side of one of the cars. But with hardly an instant for re covery, he leaped forward again and the man who was holding the girl al so sprang at Orme. It would be folly to meet the two. Orme turned and ran quickly in among the trees of the little grove. The darkness was his friend, for the pursuers halted in their quick run and separated, proceeding more cau tiously. As for Orme, once in shelter, he stopped for breath. He could see the two men coming toward him. They were outlined against the radiance from the motor cars. Cautiously he stepped toward the south, hoping that they would pass him in the darkness, but he dared not move rapidly, lest a stumble or the breaking of a twig betray him. All this time the engines of the two cars had continued to work, and their muffled chug-chug-chug helped to cov er the noise of footsteps. What pleased him most was to see, out of the corner of his eye, that the girl had taken advantage of her re lease to c:imb to the chauffeur's seat of the car in which Maku had brought them from Chicago. That meant that, if he could reach the car, they might get away. But the papers By this time Orme was between his pursuers and the road. He stopped and groped about till he found a fair sized stone, then worked toward the edge of the grove. The moment was at hand to make a dash. Ten steps would take him to the car; then a leap into the tonneau, and off to the northward he and the girl would speed. Pursuit would be de layed for a few precious moments, for the Japanese would have to turn the other car around. Those few mo ments would determine the margin of success or failure. But there were the papers. At all cost they must be secured. The plan that flashed into Orme's mind was to draw the Japanese from the spot and then, jumping from the car let the girl lead the pursuers on while he returned. Just as he was about to rush for the car he heard a sound among the trees. He wheeled and saw the dim outline I of one of his enemies coming toward him. In his excitement he had for- i gotten that just as they could be seen ' bv him when they were between him and the road, so he could now be seen by them. Undoubtedly he was out lined, as they had been, against the background of the light. The Japanese was only a few feet away. Orme threw the stone; by good luck it struck the man in the stomach, and he dropped to the ground and rolled in silent agony. But at the same moment Orme was seized from behind, and held in a grip he could not break. Indeed, when he tried to break it, there was a sudden, killing strain on his spin- fact The typhoid scourge has Its in ception in the filth that is distributed by the common house fly.

Japanese character thus brought its fresh surprise to Orme. Even after this hard fight, when three of his friends lay groaning on the ground when he had in his power the man who had injured them, who had tem porarily bested himself Arlma's chief thought was still of the papers! He seemed to have none of the semi barbarian vengefulness that might have been expected. He merely wished the papers wished them the more des perately with every passing moment The lives of his companions counted for nothing besides the papers! "Where?" repeated Arima. "I haven't them," said Orme. "You ought to know that by this time." The answer was a torturing pres sure on Orme's spine. "You tell," hissed Arima. As the pressure increased Orme's suffering was so keen that bis senses began to slip away. He was gliding into a state in which all consciousness centered hazily around the one sharp point of pain. Then, suddenly, he was released. For a moment he staggered limply, but his strength surged back, and he was able to see how the situation had changed. The girl had swung her car in clo ser to the edge of the grove and nearer to tho struggling figures. Doubtless she had some idea of helping. But the effect of the change in the posi tion of her car was to permit the searchlight of the other car to throw its bright beam without interruption down the road. And there, perhaps 50 feet to the southward, gleamed something white. The girl could not see It, for her car was headed north. But Arima saw it, and in a flash he realized what "We've Done drainage of stagnant pools or by oil ing the surface of such pools. They do not breed in considerable numbers save in dead water. Those that are net eliminated by precautionary meas ures may be shut out of the homes by proper screening. House files breed In trash and garbage. Destruction of these breeding places will to a large extent do away with the fly. Those that are left can be shut out of the homes by proper screening. With knowledge of the facts concerning the origin of disease the people are able Orme, Vehemently. it was. The papers lay there at the side of the road, where Orme had tossed them a moment before the two cars met There had been no other way to dispose of them. If the car from the north had stopped at a different angle, or if the other car had not moved, the light would not have shone upon them, and the Japanese might not have sus pected where they were. Or, if Orme had tossed them a few feet farther to one side, they would have been out of the range of the light But there they lay. Arima leaped toward them. Even as he started, a figure, appeared at the other side of the road and walked to ward the cars. It was a man with brass buttons and policeman's hel met He walked with authority, and he held a stout club in his hand. "What's goin on here?" toe demand ed. Arima stopped in his tracks. To Orme, at this moment, came the memory of the girl's desire to avoid publicity. "Nothing wrong," he said. The policeman stared. "I've been watchin you from over there," he said. "It looks like nothin' wrong, with men flghtin' all over the ground." "Just a little trial of strength," ex plained Orme. Trial of strength, hey?" "Well," admitted Orme, "this man" pointing to Arima "wanted some thing that I had. It's not a matter for the police." "Oh, it ain't? Somebody's been hurt" He gestured with his club to ward the shadows where the three injured men were slowly coming back to their senses. "Not seriously." said Orme. "We'll see about that later," replied the policeman decidedly. Orme tried to carry the affair off boldly. Every moment of delay now threatened defeat for him. "There is Enough Talking to make plans for their safety. Con certed effort Is necessary, however, and the civic pride of every communi ty should be enlisted in warfare against known dangers such as are found in the presence of flies and mosquitoes.

But the young lady and I shall be obliged to yon, if you will keep these Japanese here until we can get away. They attacked us, but I don't wish to make a com plaint against them." The policeman showed new Interest He glanced at Arima. "Japanese!" ho exclaimed. "There was one slugged on the campus last night I guess you'll have to come along with me." "Nonsense!" protested Orme. "Just because somebody hit a Japanese over the head last night" "Ah, you know about that, do you? No" as Orme made a movement "stand where you are." He drew his revolver. During this colloquy, Arima had edged nearer and nearer to the papers. Orme's sudden step was involuntary; it was due to the fact that he had seen Arima stoop swiftly and pick up the papers and thrust them into his pocket "Keep quiet" continued the police man. "And you, there" he nodded toward Arima "come here." Arima hesitated, but the muzzle of the revolver turned toward him, and he came and stood a few feet away. "There's somethin' mighty funny about this," continued the policeman. "We'll just get into one of these cars and go to the station." "This man and me?" asked Orme. He had visions of no great difficulty in satisfying the questions of the local justice, but he knew that an arrest would mean delay, perneps 01 noura. And Arima had the papers. "I mean that man, and you, and the woman. I'll send some one for the others. If you're the fellow that did the sluggin on the campus last night, you won't get away from me again." "What's the use of dragging the young lady into this?" demanded Orme. "None o your business." "Can I speak to her a minute, first?" "No, you can't There's been too many Chicago hold-up men around here lately, and I won't take chances with you." The policeman made this explanation apparently in deference to Orme's appearance, which,, in spite of the evidence of struggle, was that of a gentleman. "Looks don't always tell," he continued. That the girl should be taken to the station and held, under such suspicious circumstances was simply not to be thought of. Doubtless she could quickly set in mntinn fnrros that would liberate her. I but the disgrace of detention was something she must be saved from at any cost She was known in Evanston. Her Identity once established, the story of her arrest would be sure to spread. Her position would then beithe more painful, because the circumstances of the case were such that she was un willing to explain them. Moreover, Orme realized that if he and Arima were held, the care of the jgirl would be his first thought, and , the recovery of the papers would be forced into secona piuce. inat woum not be according to her wish. As suredly, if he was to get the papers, he could do better alone. She sat in the car, not more than six feet from him, her face the picture ! of mingled emotions. Orme saw that he must reassure her as to himself before he carried out the plan which bad suddenly come to his mind. "You will make a mistake, officer, if you detain me," he said, speaking distinctly, so that the girl would be sure to hear. "Cut it out," said the policeman. "A little telephoning will set me free in an hour," Orme continued, bending to pick up his hat, which had fallen to the ground at the beginning of the fight "You can't do anything except take me to the station and find out that you have bungled." "That's my affair," said the police man. "But here, we'vo done enough tolkin'." He waved his revolver in a gesture which indicated that they were to enter the car. Now, Orme knew that the girl had not seen him throw the papers to the road. Neither had she seen Arima pick them up. Whatever guess she bad made as to his disposal of them, there was no reason for her to doubt that he had again got them into his possession, during some stage of the struggle. He looked at her earnestly and sig nificantly, then smiled slightly in the thought of reassuring her. When he was certain that she was watching his every move, he glanced at the car. then up the road to the north. Then, with such quickness that the policeman had no time to pre vent, he snatched from the inner pocket of his coat the envelope con taining the blank contract which had first disappointed Arima, and tossed it into the tonneau. "Go!" he shouted. Like a shot, she sent the car for ward. It disappeared swiftly Into the night Thus far, Orme was satisfied. Ha had got the girl safely away. She thought that he had thrown the papers into the car, and when she came to exam ine them she would be disappointed, but Orme felt that she would them un Work and What is a lady? asks the London Week-end.

She was the most hopelessly, help lessly selfish creature living. Work? No. She was not supposed to be of any use whatever. But then In those derstand that she would continue to trust him. As the car darted away the police man swung his club at Orme. Before the blow could strike, the upraised arm was caught by a little hand and with a quick jerk, the police man was pulled to the ground. His revolver, which he held ift bis left band, went off as he fell, and a leaf, cut from a tree above by the bullet sailed Into Orme's face. The policeman lay helpless in the cunning hold of Maku Maku. who. fully restored to his senses, had crept up to save Arima from the law. Orme wondered "whether the girl had heard the shot Probably not, for she was driving into the wind. But he had no time to consider the point for Arima, suddenly conscious of free dom, leaped for the remaining car. He had the papers; heswould hurry them safely to his master, leaving Orme and the policeman to the mercies of his re viving confederates. The papers were still first in his thoughts. And why not? Onne re membered the scathing rebuke by the Japanese minister. In the flash of thought that preceded his own action he realized that the recovering of the papers was Arima's one means of righting himself. As Arima grasped the steering wheel of the car and threw on the clutch, Ormo ran behind the tonneau. His action, was swiftly calculated to give the impression that he was dodging around the car in the hope of escaping on foot That is what Arima might har thought, had he glanced around what Maku might have thought, had he done more than throw one swift glance at Arima. then devote Himself again to the prostrate officer. But Orme, reaching upward, got his hands over the high back of the ton neau. He hung on tightly, raising his feet from the ground. The car plunged forward. For a time Orme merely kept his position. The dust whirled up in his face, and he bad to close his eyes, but he was conscious that the car was gaining speed rapidly. The situation was as difficult as II was dangerous. He planned nothing less than to climb Into the car and deal with Arima even while they wer flying along the road. But he must wait until they had gone a safe dis tance from the battleground. On the other hand, he must act before they got into the thickly settled streets o! the town. He figured that they had gone about a quarter of a mile, when he began his effort Pulling himself up by his hands, he peered over the back of the tonneau. He could see Arima, hud dled forward over the steering-wheel, doubtless watching the road ahead with a careful eye for obstacles and for the police. For Arima was driving the car at a law-breaking speed. Clearly, he was an adept at motoring. But Orme did not stop to ask himself how a humi ble teacher of jiu-jitsu a professional athlete had acquired so much skill In the handling of a car. It proved hard to get into the ton neau. Several times he got one leg almost over tho back, only to be dis lodged as the car bumped into a rut or over a stone. Once he almost lost his grip entirely. But a final effort gave bin! a leg hold, and slowly very slowly he climbed over to the leath er cushions of the wide seat If Arima now turned and saw him, almost anything might happen. But before he could become conscious that anyone was near him, Orme was crouching. In the tonneau. The car was going at a 35 mile clip. The street lights were flashing by, and not far ahead were the frequent lights of houses. Nothing could be done here; therefore Orme got down as low as he could. He realized that he would have to wait till they had passed through the town. Arima had not remained on the Sheridan road. He had taken a street which struck off from It, more direct ly southward, and Orme surmised that the intention was to avoid the main streets of Evanston. When the car came to a cross street and turned westward this surmise was strengthened. They bumped over rail road tracks. Several times they passed other vehicles. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Picturesque.

When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong It is generally with the food; the old Dame Is always faithful and one should act at once. To put off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Ari zona man says: "Por years I could not safely eat any breakfast I tried all kinds of breakfast foods, but they were all soft, starchy messes, which gave me distressing headaches. I drank strong coffee, too, which appeared to benefit me at the time, but added to the head; aches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better, for I found the toast very constipating. "A friend persuaded me to quit cof fee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts In stead. I shall never regret taking his advice. "The change they have worked In me is wonderful. I now have no mora of the distressing sensations in my stomach after eating, and I never have an; headaches. I have gained 12 pounds in weight and feel better in every way.
