CO-OPERATION KEYN 6 TE
Dirt Is contagious, but cleanliness Is'
equally as communicable. So say tho mem
bers of the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Ward
committee of tho Civic Club. Therefore, In
order to combat the former they will begin
a campaign In behalf of the latter. Tho
germ of cleanliness that they hnVe chosen
takes the form of what Is termed a "Mbdel
City Block."
Everything is to bo "Splck-nnd-Span."
Tho entire block must radiate the Idea. As
the spirit of tho plan grows In one section
of Philadelphia the committee will apply It
to another part .of tho city. Like all good
things they bolleve that the movement will
gain such momentum that It will "sweep"
tho city, both In a literal and figurative'
sense.
The premier "object" block selected by
the committee Is bounded by Broad. Pine,
Thirteenth and Spruce streets. That was
determined at a meeting" held yesterday
Today the members are busy preparing a
formula for cleanliness.
Just as soon as the rules havo been pre
pared and approved the members will settlo
down to' the task of winning converts. Each
housewife, owner or lessee, or whatever the
case, may be, will receive a personal visit
frbm a member of the commUtee, who will
breathe, live, talk the spirit of Cleanliness.
Co-operation will a ipncUed.
Brooms are to be applied with added
vigor. Dust cloths., waer buckets, scrub
brushes are to be cqitjraahdeered' with de
termination and .oonlstqncy,;,' r
tust and dirt i wilt fly. .Not Into the
streets or sidewalks;, but In proper recep
tacles. That is the secret -of the Idea. No
careless hurling of papers or rubbish, either
out the front or back,af the house. Gutters,
.sidewalk, alleyway and street will receive
regular applications of water and the broom.
"Maybe, by and by, 'the street cleaner
will get the Idea. His foreman will take
a tumble to himself. The inspector will
citch on. Who knows but what the con
tractor may finally become Imbued with the
cleanliness spirit? What If the city should
suddenly, fall heir to the habit 36S days
a yeacT said one of the members of the
committee.
"Ofr course, the contractor and his em
ployes are not always to blame," added tho
crusader against dirt. 'We realize that a
large share .of the blame rests with the
housekeeper,"
ORCHESTRA CHARMS
YOUNG MUSIC LOVERS
Letitia Radcliffe Miller Heard in,
School Concert at the
Academy
The Philadelphia Orchestra gave the first
of Its free conoerts for school children, un
der Publlo Ledger auspices at the Acad
emy last night Leopold Stokowskl con-'
ducted, and Letitia nadclllfe Miller, the
youthful and highly gifted Philadelphia
pianist, waa the soloist In the dashing Hun
garian "Fantasy of Liszt which calls for
extraordinary technique and fiery abandon.
She stirred the enthusiasm of her juvenile
audience to such a degree that she was re
called Ave times, and she received the warm
congratulations of Mr,. .Stokowskl. She Is
a pupil of Luther Conrad), and her per
formance reflects honor upon his preceptor
ship. Both as composer and player she has
already made a name for herself In musical
circles In Philadelphia, and her recitals have
given proof ot distinguished attainment
There Is no delight In display for Its own
sake, but manual dexterity of a rare order
combine with emotional sincerity to make
her art singularly appealing.
The purely orchestral numbers, received
with pronounced expressions of pleasure
and edlfloatioa, were the "Melsterslnger"
overture of Wagner-Rlmsky-Korsakow's
'rIchly"-col6rd' ' symphonlo suite; "Schera.
zade," and the "Entrance of the Gods" ex
cerpt from Wagner's "Bhelngold."

You'd ought .to. hea? him rave when

Paloma turned an agonized, face to. her
father: "Get a doctor, quick," she Implored;
"he frightens me."
But Mrs: Strange had followed, and now
she spoke In a matter-of-fact tone. Doc
tor nothing." she said. "I know more than
all the doctors. Paloma, you go Into the
house and get n- bed ready for him, and you
men lug him In. Come. now. on the run.
all of you I I'll show you what to do," She
took instant chargo of the situation, and
when Dave refused to, leave the carriage
and began to tight olf his friends gabbling
wildly, It, was sho who quieted him. Elbow
ing Dlaie and her husband out of tho way,
she loosed the yoUng man's frenzied clutch
from the carriage and, holding his hands
In hers, talked to him In such a way that
he gradually relaxed. It was she who helped
htm out and then supported him Into the
house. It was she who got him upstairs
and Into bed, and It was she who finally
stilled his babble.
"The poor man Is burning up with fever,"
sho told the others, "and fevers are my long'
suit Get me some towels and a lot of ice."
Blaze, who had watched the snake
charmer's deft ministrations with mingled
amazement and suspicion. Inquired! "What
are you going, to do with ice! Ice ain't
medicine." ,
"I'm going to pack his head 'In, It"
"GodTmlghty!" Blaze was horrified.
"Do you want to freeze his bralnT"
Mrs. Strango turned on him angrily.
"You get out of my way' and mind your own.
business. 'Freeze his" bralnl'" With a
sniff of Indignation she pushed past the
interloper. ,
But Blaze was waiting for her when she
returned a" few moments later with bowls
and bottles and various remedies), which
she had commandeered. He summoned
"sufficient courage to block her way and
inquire: ' ,. .
"What you got there, now, ma am
Mra Strange glared at h,lm balefully,,
With an effort at patience she Inquired:
"Sayl What alls you, anyhow V
Jones swallowed hard. "Understand, he's
a friend of mine. No damned maglo goes"
"MaglcT" ,
"No cockroaches or snakes' tongues,
" Mrs, Strange Angered a heavy china bowl
as It tempted to bounce It from Blaze's
head Then, not deigning to argue, she
whisked past him and Into tha sickroom.
It was evident from her expression that she
considered the master of the house a harm
less but offentlve old busybody.
For some time longer Blaze hung about
the sickroom) then, his presence being
completely Ignored, he risked further .an
tagonism by telephoning lor Jonesville's
leading doctor. Not finding the physician
at home, he sneaked out to the barn aftd,
taking Paloma's car, drove away In' search1
of him. It waa fully two hours later when
.be returned to discover that Dave was
sleeping quietly
, CHAPTER XXIII ,
A WARNINO AND A. SCBPKISq
DAVE LAW slept for twenty fiours, and
even "hen he awoke It was 'not ou
dear appreciation of his surroundings. At
first he wa relieved to find that the., split-tins-
pain 4p his, head was, gone, but m
aclHa hlrase" to be still In the' maddening

judged that she must have kept a long and
faithful vlgH'over him.
A little later Paloma, pale and -heavy-'
cjrou, mole jnio tne room, and Dave's cneer
ful greeting awoke Mrs. Strange with a
Jerk.
"Sot You're feeling better,' a'ren't your
the latter woman cried, heartily.
"Yes. How did, I get hers t" Dave asked.
"I must have been right' sick arid trouble,
some to you." ' '
Paloma smiled and nodded. "Sick! Why,
Dave, you frightened us nearly to death I
You were clear out of your head."
So that was It The breakdown had came
sooner than he expected, and It had come,
.moreover, without warning; That was bad
bad! Although Dave's 'mind wis per
fectly clear at this moment,- he reasoned
with a sinking heart that another brain
storm might overtake him at any time. He
had Imagined .that the' thing would give a
hint of Its coming, but evidently It did not
Mrs. Strange broke Into his frowning
meditation to ask, "How long olnce you had
a night's sleep T"
"I Oh. it must be weeks."
"UmphI I thought so. You puzzled that,
pill-roller, but doctors don't know any
thing, anyhow. Why, he wanted to wake
you up to find out what ailed you I I
threatened to scald him If he did."
"I seem to remember talking a good
deal," Dave- ventured. "I reckon I said a
lot of foolleh things." He caught the look
that passed between his nurses and Its
significance' distressed him,
Mrs. Strange continued : "that's how we
guessed what your trouble was, and that's
why I wouldn't, let that fool doctor disturb
you. Now that vou've had a aleen and are
all right again, I'm going home and change;
my clothes. I haven t bad them off for two
nights."
"Two nights " Dave stared In bewilder
ment Then he lamely apologized for the
trouble he had cauaed, and tried to thank i
the women for their kindness.
He was shaky when, an hour later, he
came downstairs for breakfast! but other-,
wise he felt better than for many days:
and Blaze's open delight at seeing him did,
mm as mucn gooa as me joou no ate,
Dave spent the momlng sunning himself
on the porch, reading the papers with their
exciting news, and speculating over the
significance of his mental collapse. The
more he thought of It now the more
ominous It seemed. One result which par-!
ticuiarly distressed mm was 'tne cnange it
had wrought In Paloma Jones's bearing;
for of a sudden the girl had-become dis
tant and formal'. The reason 'was' not far
to seek; Dave) could not doubt that the
knowledge of his Secret had frightened her.
Well, that was to be expected he would
'probably )ose all Ills friends' In time It
was a bitter thought! life would be very
dull arid flat without friends. He woridered
'how he could bear to aee those' who loved
him turn away: to see their liking change,
to restraint and fear, as It threatened to
do In Paloma's case. Better anything, than
that.
' There was, however, one friend who,
Dave knew, would not shun "him; one of
whose lasting affection he felt sure; and
at memory of her he came-to his feet
Montrosa would trust him. She had given
hire her-heart, and hr Joyatty would Bver
waver. With a clutch at Oils throat and. a
little pain In his breast", he stumbled dowa
the steps and went In waroh f ber, .
Now during Dave's abseBoe Paloma had
dons her best to. spoil the' mare, and, among
other marks f favor, had a,tlqweder free
run Of the yard, where the shade was.doof
and the grass. ftne, and where detiateiH (Id
bits were to. .bo, had .from the. kitchen for

Itojah, the big python with our show, took
sick one year, and he'd have died sure only
for her. Same with a lot of the othef ani
mals. She knows more'n any vet I ever

"Perhaps I needed a veterinary Instead
of a doctor," Dave smiled. "I guess I've
got some horse blood In me. Seot" Mon
trosa had thrust her head under his arm
and was waiting for him to scratch her
ears.
'"Well, I brought you some mall.'' Strange
fumbled In his pocket for a small bundle
of letters, explaining: "Blaze gave me
these for you as I passed tho postofllce.
Now I wonder If you feel good enough to
talk business."
Dave took the letters with a' word ot
thanks and thrust them carelessly Into his
pocket "What seems to bo the trouble?"
he Inquired.
"You remember our last tnlkT Well,
them Mexicans have got me rattled. I've
been trying everywhere to locate you. If
you hadn't come homo I'd have gone to
the prosecuting attorney' or somebody."
'Then you've learned something more?"
Phil nodded, and hrj sallow face puck
ered with apprehension. "Hosa Morales
has been to see mo regular."
Dave passed an uncertain hand over his
forehead. "I'm not In very good shape to
tackle a now proposition, but what Is It?"
'"We've got. to get Mra Austin away from
here."
We? Why?"
"If wo don't they'll' steal her."
ateai neri' oaves amazement was'
potent. "Ate you crazy?" '
"Sometimes I think I am, but I've pumped
mat Morales girl dry, and I can't figure
anytntng else out or What she tells me
fabe and Jose expect .to make a lump, of
quicn money, jump to Mexico, get married,
and live happy ever nfter. Take It from
me. It's Mrs. Austin they aim to cash In on."
"Why the Idea's ridiculous I"
"Maybe it is nnd maybo It ain't," the.
lonune-ieuer persisted. "More than one
rich Mexican has been grabbed and held
for ransom along this river , yes, and Ameri
can, too. If you can believe the stories.
Anything .goes In that country over thero."
"You think Jote Is planning to kidnap
her? Nonsense I One man couldn't do such
a thing."
"I didn't aay he could," Phil defended
himself sulkily. "Itemember, I told you
there waa somebody back of him."
"Yes,. I remember, but you didn't know
exactly who."
"Well, I don't exactly know yet I
thought mayba you might tell me."
.There was a. brief silence, during which
Dave stood frowning. Thon he appeared to
shake himself free from Phil's suggestions.
"It's too utterly DreDosteraun. Mm a,,..
tin has no enemies f she's a person of Impor
tance. If by chance she dlsaoDeared -

Strange declared.
"What?"
"She's disappeared anyhow, she's gone.
Yesterday, when I saw you was laid up
and couldn't help me, I Dhoned her ranch ;
somebody answered In Spanish, and from
what I could make out they don't know
where she Is."
Dave wondered If he had understood
Strange aright, or if this could be another
trick of his own disordered brain, Choos
ing his words' carefully, he said; "Do you
mean to tell me that she's missing and they
haven't given an alarm? I reckon .you
didn't understand the message, did you?"
Strange shrugged. "Maybe I didn't
Suppose you try. You sabe the lingo."
Dave agreed, although reluctantly, for
at, this moment he wished nothing lee than
to undertake a mental effort, and he feared,
Jh spite of Rtrange's statement, that he
might hear Alatre's voice over the wire
That would be too much; he felt as If he
could not summon the strength to control
himself in such a case. Nevertheless, he
went to the telephone, leaving Phil, to wait
Whet, he emerged from the house a few
moments later, it was with" a queer, set
look upon, his face,
"I got 'em," he said. "She's gone left
three days ago."
"Where did she go?"
"They wouldn't tell m,''
They wouldn't?" Strange looked up
sharply.
"Wouldn't or couldri't"'' The men eyed
each other silently; then Phil Inquired:
- "Well, what do.you make, of It?"
-1 don't know, She wasn't kidnaped,
that's a clnch, for Dolores .went with her.
I think we're exciting ourselves unduly
' The little fortune-teller broke out ex.
eltedly: "The hell we are) Why do you

girl? I tell you. there's something crooked
going on. Don't I know? Didn't j wise

Phil watched his friend saddle the bay

"You're loaded for bear."

"No? I'vo made FlJIplnos talk. Believe .

With that he swung a leg, over Montroaa's
back and rode away. " "
Law found it good to feel a horse .be
tween his knees. He hnd no realized Until
now how long Montrosa'a saddle had bees
empty. The sun was hot and friendly; the
breeze was sweet In his nostrils as 'he
swept past the Bmlllng fields and' out late
the mesqulte country. Hent waves danoed

sang noisily from every side ; far ahead the

Tho chemistry of -air and earth 'and
sunshine were, at work, dissolving awaer

Dave's trouble did not wholly vanish;"' It
