TENTH EPISODE THE LIFE CURRENT. Assignments were being given out on the Star one afternoon, and I was •tending talking with several other reporters, in the busy hum of type writers and clicking telegraphs "What do you think of that?" asked one of the fellows. "You're something of a scientific detective, aren't you?" Without laving claim to such a distinction. I took the paper and read: 1 THE POISONED KISB ACkAIN. Three More New York Women Report Being Kissed by Mysterious Stranger —Later Fell Into Deep Unconscious ness—What Is It? I had scarcely finished when one of |the copy boys, dashing past me. called g>ut: "You're wanted on the wire, Mr. tfameeon." 1 t ■ I hurried over to the telephone and Answered. A musical voice responded to jpy jhurried hello, and I hastened to adopt my most polite tone "ls this Mr. Jameson?" asked the (voice. "Yes," I replied not recognizing it. "Well, Mr. Jameson. I've heard of you on the Star, and I've Just had a very strange experience. I've had Ithe poisoned kiss.'' The woman did not pause to catch imv exclamation of astonishment, but fwent on: "It was like this. A man Van up to me on the street and kissed ■roe —and —I don't know how It was— but I became unconscious—and I idldn't come to for an hour —in a hos pital—fortunately. I don't know what ►would have happened if It hadn't been l«hat someone came to my assistance #nd the man fled. I thought the Star mrouW be interested." . "We are." I hastened to reply. "Will (you give me your name?" "Why, I am Mrs. Florence Leigh of iNo. 10 Prospect avenue," returned the jvoice. "Say," I exclaimed hurrying over rto the editor's desk, "here's another Woman on the wire who says she has (received the poisoned kiss " "Suppose you take that assignment." (the editor answered, sensing a possi ble story. I took it with alacrity, figuring out (the quickest way by elevated and sur face to reach the address. I must say that I could scarcely crit icize the poisoned kisser's taste, for ithe woman who opened the door cer tainly was extraordinarily attractive. "And you really were—put out by « kiss?" I queried, as she led me into |a neat sitting room. "Absolutely—as much as If it had teen by one of these poisoned needles iyou read about," she replied confident ly, hastening on to describe the affair volubly. It was beyond me. "May I use your telephone?" 1 asked. "Surely," she answered. I called the laboratory. "Is that you, Craig I inquired. "Yes, Walter," he answered, recog nizing my voice. "Say, Craig," I asked breathlessly, "'what sort of kiss would suffocate a •person?" My only answer jras an uproarious laugh from him at the idea. 'I know," I persisted, "but I've got •the assignment from the Star —and I'm out here Interviewing a woman about It. It's all right to laugh—but here I am. I've found a case—names, dates and places. I wish you'd explain the thing, then." "Oh, all right, Walter," he replied indulgently. "11l meet you as soon as I can and help you out." We waited patiently. The bell rang and the woman hastened to the door, admitting Ken nedy. "Hello, Walter," he greeted. "This is certainly r most remark able case, Craig," I said, introducing him, and telling briefly what I had wsarned. "An<J you actually mean to say that a kiss had the effect —" Just then the telephone Interrupted. "Yes,' she reasserted quickly. "Ex cuse me a second." She answered the call. "Oh—why —"-yes, he's here. Do you want to speak to him? Mr. Jameson, it's the Star." "Confound It!" 1 exclaimed, "Isn't that like the old man—dragging me off this story before it's' half finished in See "Exploits of Elain In Motion Pictures, Victoria Theatre, Saturday, April 24 READ THE STORY INf THE STAR-INDEPENDENT EVERY WEEK.— ft TT A T?T?f RtSTTRft STAR-ITOEPENEfENT, WEDNESDAY TCVEMNO, APR IT/21. 1915. order to get another. 11l have to go. I'll get this story from you. Craig." • ••»••• The day before, in the suburban , house, the Clutching Hand had been talking to two of his emissaries, an at- | tractive young woman and a man. They were Flirty Florrle'and Dan . the Dude. "Now. I want you to get Kennedy," he said. "The way to do It is Jo sep-1 arate Kennedy and Elaine— see?" J "All right. Chief, we'll do it." they replied. Clutching Hand had scarcely left , when Flirty Florrle began by getting published In the papers the story which I had seen. The next day she called me up from ; the suburban house. Having got me to promise to see her, she had scarce ly turned from the telephone when Dan the Dude walked In from the next room. "He's coming." she said. Dan was carrying a huge stag head with a beautifully branched pair of antlers. I'nder his arm was a coil of j i wire which he had connected to the inside of the head. "Fine!" he exclaimed. Then, point-: lng to the head, he added. "It's all 1 ready. See how I fixed ItT That ought i to please the Chief. Dan moved quickly to the mantel : and mounted a stepladder there by ' which he had taken down the head, and started to replace the head above the mantel. He hooked the head on a nail. "There." he said, unscrewing one of the beautiful brown glass eyes of the ' stag. Back of it could be seen a camera shutter. "One of those new quick shutter : cameras," he explained. Then he ran a couple of wires along the molding around the room and into a closet, where he made the connec tion with a sort of switchboard on i which a button was marked, "SHtTT i TER" and the switch, "WIND FILM." "Now. Flirty," he said, coming out of the closet and pulling up the shade which let a flood of sunlight into the room, "you see, I want you to stand her^—then. do your little trick." Just then the bell rang. "That must be Jameson," she cried ' "Now—get to your corner." With a last look Dan went into the closet and shut the door. Perhaps half an hour later Clutching j Hand hlms&lf called me up on the 1 telephone. It w&» he —not the Star— as I learned only too late. • ••»••• 1 had scarcely got out of the house, as Craig told me afterwards, when Flirty Florrie told all over again the embroidered tale that had caught my ear. Kennedy said nothing, but listened : Intently, perhaps betraying in his face the skepticism he felt. "You see," she said, still voluble and eager to convince him, "I was only walking on the street. Here —let me ; show you. It was just like this." She took his arm and, before he ! knew, It, led him to the spot on tho floor near the window which Dan had indicated. Meanwhile Dan was lis tening attentively in his Closet. "Now —stand there. You are just j as I was—only I didn't expect any j thing." She was pantomiming some one ap ! proaching stealthily while Kennedy watched her with interest, tinged with j doubt. Behind Craig in his closet, Dan was reaching for the switchboard ' button. I "You see." she said advancing J quickly and acting her words, "he 1 placed his hands on my shoulders— so—then threw hiß arms about my neck —so!" She said no more, but imprinted a deep, passionate kiss on Kennedy's mouth, clinging closely to him. Be | fore Kennedy could draw away, Dan ; in the closet, had pressed the but ' ton and the switch several times in I rapid succession. < j "Th—that's very realistic," gasped Craig, a good deal taken aback by tho sudden osculatory assault. He frowned. "I —I'll look Into the case," he said, backing away. "There —there may be ; some scientific explanation—but- 1 - I er " — He was plainly embarrassed ind i hastened to make his adleux. <*•••••• How little Impression v the thing i made on Kennedy can be easily seen j from the fact that on the way down town that afternoon he stopped at Martin's, on Fifth avenue, and bought a ring—a very handsome solitaire, the finest Martin had in the shop. It must have been about the time that he decided to stop at Martin's that the Dodge butler, Jennings, ad mitted a young lady who presented a card on which was engraved the name Mis* Florence Leigh, 20 Prospect Avenue. As he handed Elaine the card, she looked up from the book she was read ing and took It "All right, show her in, Jennings. I'll see her." Elaine moved Into the drawing room, Jennings springing forward to part the portieres for her and paaaing through the room quickly where Flirty Florrte aat waiting. Flirty Florrle rose and ■tood gating at Blaine, apparently ▼ery much embarraaeed, even after Jennlnga had gone. "It le embarrassing," she said final ly, "but. Xlsa Dodge, 1 have come to you to beg (or my love." . Blaine looked at her nonplused. "Yes," she continued, "you. do not know It, but Craig Kennedy Is Infatu ated with you." She paused again, then added, "But he la engaged to me." Blaine stared at the woman.' She was dazed. She could not believe It "There Is the ring," Flirty Florrle added, Indicating a very Impressive paste diamond. Quickly she reached into her bag and drew out two photographs, with out a word, handing them to Blaine. "There's the proof," Florrle said simply, choking a sob. Elaine looked with a start. Sure enough, there was the neat living room In the house on Prospect avenue. In one picture Florrie had her arms over Kennedy's shoulders. In the other, apparently, they were passionately kissing. \ v Blaine slowly laid the photographs on the table. "Please—please, Miss Dodge—give me back my lost love. You are rich and beautiful—l am poor. I have only my good looks. But—l—l love him— and he—loves me—and haa promised to marry me." Florrie had broken down completely and was weeping softly into a lace handkerchief. She moved toward the door. Elaine followed her. "Jennings—please see the lady to the door." Back in the drawing-room. Elaine seized the photographs and hurried Into the library where she could be alone. Just then she heard the bell and Kennedy's voice in the hall. "How are you this afternoon," Ken nedy greeted Elaine gayly. Elaine had been too overcome by what had just happened to throw it off so easily, and received him with studied coolness. Still, Craig, manlike, did not notice It at once. In fact, he was too busy gazing about to see that neither Jen nings, Marie nor the duenna Aunt Jo sephine were visible. They were not and he quickly took the ring from his pocket. Without waiting, he showed It to Elaine. Elaine very coolly admired the ring, as .Craig might have eyed a specimen on a microscope slide. Still, he did not notice. He took the ring, about to put it on her finger. Elaine drew away. Concealment was not in her frank na ture. She picked up the two photographs. "What hsve you to say about those?" she asked cuttingly. Kennedy, quite surprised, took them and looked at them. Then he let them fall carelessly on the table and dropped into a chair, his head back in a burst of laughter. / "Why—that was what they put over on Walter," he said. "He called me up early this afternoon—told me he had discovered one of these poisoned kiss cases you have read about in the papers. Think of it—all that to pull a concealed camera! Such an elabo rate business—Just to get me where they could fake this thing. 1 sup pose they've put someone up to say ing she's engaged?" Elaine was not so lightly affected "But," she said severely, repressing her emotion, "I don't understand, Mr. Kennedy, how scientific inquiry- Into 'the poisoned kiss' could necessitate this sort of thing." She pointed at the photographs ac cusingly. "But," he began, trying to explain. "No buts," she interrupted. "Then you believe that I —" "How can you, as a scientist, ask ms to doubt the camera?" she insinuated, very coldly turning away. Kennedy rapidly began to see that It was far more serious than he had at first thought. "Very well," he said with a touch of impatience, "if my word is not to be taken—l—l'll—" He had seized his hat and stick, Elaine did not deign to answer. Then, without a word, he/ stalked out of the ddor. Kennedy was moping in the labora tory the next day when I came in. "Say, Craig," I began, trying to over come his fit of blues. Kennedy, filled with his own thoughts, paid no attention to me. Then he jumped up. "By George—l will," he muttered. I poked my head out of the door in time to see him grab up hla hat and coat and dash from the room, put ting his coat on as he went. "He's a nut today," I exclaimed to myself. Though I did not know yet of the quarrel, Kennedy had really struggled with himself until he was willing to put his pride in his pocket and had made up his mind to call on Elaine again. As he entered he saw that it was really of no use, ft>r only Aunt Jo sephine was in the library. "Oh, Mr. Kennedy," she said inno cently enough, "I'm so sorry she isn't here. There's been something trou bling her, and she won't tell me what It is. But she's gone to call on a young woman, a Florence Leigh, I think." "Florence Leigh!" exclaimed Craig with a start and a frown. "Let me use your telephone." I had turned my attention in the laboratory to | story I was writing, COLLAR when 1 heard the telephone ring. It was Craig. Without a word of apology for his rudeness, which I knew had been purely absent-minded, 1 heard him say: "Walter, meet me in half an bour outaide that Florence Leigh's house." • •••••• Half an hour later I was waiting near the house in the auburbs to which I had been directed by the strange telephone call ibe day before. I noticed that it was apparently de serted. The blinds were closed and a "To Let" sign was on the aide of the house. "Hello, Walter," cried Craig at last, bustling along. He led the way around the aide of the house to a window, and. with a powerful graap, wrenched open the closed shutters. He had just smashed the window when a policeman ap peared. "Hey, you fellows —what are you doing there?" he shouted. Craig paused a second, then pulled his card from his pocket. "Just the man I want," he parried, much to the policeman's surprise. 'There's something crooked going on here. Follow us in." We climbed into the window. There was the same living room we had seen the day before. But it was now bare and deserted.

The sport by the resolutions j adopted will be placed on a five-year! I basis. Many restrictions have ueen ' I thrown around the resumption of the! ! sport and it will bo nocessary for thej I undergraduates and alumni to live up' to the spirit of these regulations if t lie game is to stay. The* Columbia men agree that they. i will not raise any objections to the' regulations within the five-year period.! It is anticipated that the studentH will be too glad to receive half a loaf rather than none to again antagonize the authorities with any objections to j their plans under which the game is restored. This action on the part of the coun cil comes after a carefully planned movement which had for its foundation the convincing of the authorities of the sincerity of the undergraduates in their petitions for the reinstatement of the game and their willinguesg to support it. Work will start immediately in the arranging of a schedule for the Blue and White team next fall. A manager | will be elected and negotiations will be opened at once with the managers of the teams of local colleges with the hope of a game, owing to the fact that the schedules of all of the college teams have been completed and more or less readjustment wuold be found necessary to admit Columbia to their lists. Prank Fackenthal, secretary of the university and chairman of the I'niver sity Committee on Athletics, on whose careful recommendations the Council baied its decision to reinstate the game, stated after the meeting that Columbia would try to get some good games scheduled for the fall. Harvard, Vale, Princeton, Cornell and Univer sity of Pennsylvania are on the list of those colleges which the Blue and White not now be permitted to play, but with this assurance from Secre tary Fackenthal, the prospects are en for a good schedule of games. The entire coaching system for the new eleven will be tinder the auspices of the •physical education department. This is the recognized beginning of a movement to place all Columbia sports under the supervision of this depart ment. The ultimate aim is to develop sports at Columbia on a basis which will bring the greatest number of stu dents out and ito them the most good. The college students are the only ones who will be permitted to play on the teams. The. graduate students will not be eligible, noi will any of the sci entific students. The engineering schools will bp placed ou a graduate basis next September and this auto matically eliminates them from the squad.
