Being averse to trouble in any form, his two coolies had left him to face the music alone; and while they fled howling with terror he put up a single-hande- d but unavailing resistance, which, while It lasted, was a joy to his wild, reckless soul. When darkness had fallen and there were only the great, silent stars to see, the two coolies came creeping back. They fotlnd him lying In the mud, hla clothing torn, his face a mass of blood, and one arm broken where he bad shielded his head from the blow of a cudgel.

The map, having no intrinsic value, they replaced. They left him at the mission in and went their way, for the pa tentlslitlea of that golden coin were strong upon them.

After which he sank back on the cool pillows utterly exhausted, and fell Into a deep, refreshing sleep. The old missionary smiled knowingly. He will live, he aald grimly, and he went to the kitchen to get some strengthening broth for his patient. When Barlow awoke It was early evening. He could hear sandals clattering by on the uneven pavements of the street. The odor of some strange, sweet flower floated In through the open window. He stirred uneasily and sat up. Ha waa quite alone In the room.. I say, somebody. he called lustily. There was a sound of light footfalls, the soft rustle of skirts. In the doorway was a gleam of white.

He gained rapidly after that In a weeks time he waa able to hobble about the mud walled garden of the mission. The girl was with him constantly, reading to him on the little veranda, or singing to him In the soft glow of the September twilights. Gradually he told her of hla life of hia aimless wanderings, of hla wasted opportunities. He neither softened his past nor excused it. Thera were many parts of It, of course, that he did not mention; but what be did tell her of It, he told In a plain, straightforward way, with sometimes a note of wistful sadness in hla voice. And she was always grave and sympathetic and eminently lovable. So the daya flew past very happy days they were for Barlow, until there came a bitter night when be walked the narrow, crooked streets of alone and had It out with himself.

It was evening before ho could trust himself to see her. He found her In the garden and went to her smiling bravely. I am going away said he.

Neceaalty of Work ae Part of Task We Have Undertaken. But what about the two great Isthmian diseases, malaria and yellow fever? Practically every other disease can be obliterated by the supply of pure water and the simple obedience to hygienic rules; but these are of a different nature and demand more radical attacks, says Dr. Albert R. Hall In Reader Magazine. They are both parasitic In nature; both before they Invade man, must pass through an Intermediate host, and that host Is the mosquito, stegomyla for yellow fever, and anopheles for malaria. One should no longer doubt the essentially Important role of the mosqullo. Today all scientists agree that to exterminate the mosquito ! to destroy these diseases; that no other means excepting this Insect has been demon-s- i rated as a carrier of either. Cling to old beliefs as we may, we can render the country free from epidemics only by killing tha host. And It can be done here In Panama. It haa been done In Ismalla on the Buex canal. It has been done to be sure. In more favorable circumstances and a smaller area In Havana. We must do It It will be an eternal disgrace to our government If we shirk our responsibility, for it Is as much a part of our canal project as is digging tbe ditch. We are not a commercial concern, cutting a highway between two oceans merely for profit. If we are, better let out the task by contract at once. But we are a nation, tbe people of that nation pay the taxes that supply the money for canal construction, and we should demand that this sanitary scheme be an Integral part But It means work. To take a atrip of land ten miles wide and fifty long and to free It from mosquitoes means brains as well as kerosene, and money to back tbe brains. It means destruction of nasty houses In Panama and Colon and the filling in of slimy pools which render futile so much of the effort of disinfection. It means action as we acted in Cuba, as Mexico acled at aa Japan acts There d must be no policy or broken promises about It.
