“At first, when I came here, it was
only at times that he'd take the mor-
phine, and then he'd have terrible out-
bursts of rage, and his mind would go,
especially when he'd have those fits
after he came back from Avonmouth.
But after that the hoodoo got him.
That was when I was afrald.”
“The hoodoo?” inquired Joan.
“Miss Wentworth, the devil who
was at him so long got hold of him
once or twice. I've seen him come
back from Avonmouth a different man,
Miss Wentworth, That's when I've
been afraid. Because the devil that
can kill the body Isn't much of a
devil, but when he kills the soul there
Is no help but prayer. When he's in
those dreadful moods he's another
man. He's a wicked man, Miss Went-
worth, and I'd shoot him then, if he
tried to harm me or any of mine, and
I wouldn't think I'd killed Doctor Lan-
caster, It all began after they accused
him of stealing the trust funds.”
“It is pot true,” said Joan,
“I'm sure it isn't, Miss Wentworth.

machine, And Mr. Myers was the

Joan had the feeling that she should
not listen te the matron's talk about
Lancaster; It seemed disloyal of her;
but she felt, too, that she must know
more, and speedily, If she was to
thwart that menacing evil which she
sensed more and more clearly as the
mwoments passed.
“Miss Wentworth,” sald the matron,
placing her hand on the girl's arm
firmly, “there's something else 1 ought
to have told you about. Mrs, Dana"
“Hark!” Interrupted Joan, holding
up her hand for silence,
Then they heard, a long distance
sway, and inaudible to one whose at
tention was not strained, like theirs,
the sound of the wheels of Jenking'
buggy.

Joan hurried out upon the veranda
and stood peering under her ralsed

eand across the raln-swamped fields
to where the carriage road wound in
and out among the hills, The sun
had set, and it was beginning to grow
dusk; a bat was flitting under the
eaves, and the steady downpour never
ceased. Mrs, Fraser, who had moved
to follow the girl, went back into her
room. There was a queer, troubled
pucker about her lips, and once she
went to the door and looked iptently
at Joan, who had not stirred from her
position of expectancy.
Presently, looking out
dripping trees, Joan could see the
buggy crawling up the hill through
the mud. Slowly it moved along the
road, Jenkins was driving, and there
were two men with him, not one, Joan
recognized Lancaster’ then she per
ceived, first the hard hat, next Myers
face under it.
She shuddered. The worst had come
about, then. But the last battle was
Joined, and under her fears she felt
a hardening of her spiritual resources.
She would not falter. She went slow-
ly toward the top of the three low
wooden steps. and stood there like o
statue, watching the buggy pass up
the weed-grown drive until it came to
a standstill,
Lancaster and Myers were laughing
together, and, as Myers saw the girl,
he sald something, and the other
threw back his head In merriment,
Myers was the first to descend. He
raised his hat to Joan and grinned.
“The doctor's come back quite safe,
you see” he sald, “and feeling fine
again.”
Joan hardly noticed the man: she
was bracing herself to bear what was
to come,
Lancaster got out, and Jenkins, con
trary to his custom, lashed the horse
violently and drove rapidly away
Myers and Lancaster came up the
steps of the porch together. Now Lan
caster was raising his hat in turn, and
under It was the face of the smirking
bully of the operating theater at the
Avonmouth hospital

He was advancing toward her with
his arms outstretched. Joan sprang
back to the washstand and snatched
up the haif-flled pitcher, with such an
evident determination to defend her
self with it that the man fell back
scowling.
“Joan, don't be a little jackass!"
he shouted angrily. “1 know what

“Listen, Doctor Lancaster,” panted
the girl. “I am not going to judge you
by what you are saying now. Leave
me, and tomorrow, if you are yourself,
I shall be willing to hear your explan-
ation, because I know it is not your

The man glared at her: but he was
dominated, in spite of himself, by her
courage and apparent calmness,
“Well, I'm not going to fight with
you before I've had my supper,” he
answered. “You think things over,

that he had returned us on that earlier

Public Health Reports” Dr
Robert Olsen, surgeon of the United

a report on the prevalence of goiter
in Colerado Doctor Olsen was sent
to this at the request of the
Colorado board of health to deter.
mine the extent of goiter in that state
and, if possible, to nscertain the cause,
A survey of the Denver city schools

the ages of eight and twenty-two, 2.643,
or 27 per cent, had some kind of en-

Red Cross survey In eight cities
showed that out of 1.762 children, or
B25 boys and 037 giris, between the

the hoys and 73 per cent of the girls
In Colorado Springs, 38 per cent of
the boys and 44 per cent of the girls
bad enlarged thyroids. The total re
sults for the entire state showed about
the same proportions.
As usually happens when special
attention is given to any particular
s disease, it was found that goiter was
much more common than had been
generally supposed. On account of
lack of time and money, the survey
was confined to the cities, no attempt
being made to find out how prevalent
goiter is in the country districts or
whether it is more or less common
there than in the towns
Regarding the cause of goiter, It is
now pretty generally agreed that most
of simple enlargements of the thyroid
are caused by lack of lodine, either in
the food or the drinking water. Nat
urally, the easigést way to remeds this
condition is to provide enough i.dine
for the body. lodine is found In seu
water, sea weeds, and sea foods of uli
kinds. It is lacking. both in the soil
and in the water, in localities far re
moved from the sea coast. Perhaps
this need of the human body for » cer
tain amount of jodibhe is due to the
fact that all life came originally from
the sea and we still need some of the
elements furnished by the sea to keep
us strong and bealthy.
