"It's no use unless you can got hold

"I'll do It." Quest decided. "Call the

She obeyed. The man came good
naturedly toward them.
Queat looked at him steadfastly
through the bar.
I want you to com inside for a

your bunch and com Inside."
The man hesitated, but all the time

The warder opened tb door and en.
tered. A few minutes later Quest
passed th key through the window to
Laura, who was atandlng on guard.
without a word, and with marvelous
rapidity, the change waa effected.
Laura produced from her handbag a
wig, which ahe pinned Inside her hat
and passed over to Quest Then ahe
flung heraelf on to th bed and drew
the blanket up to her chin.
How long will he stay like thatr
ahe whispered, pointing to the warder,,
who was attttng on th floor with hla
arm folded and his eyes cloaed.
"Half and hour or so," Quest an
swered. "Don't bother about him. I
hall drop the key back through the
window."
Quest reached Georgia square at
five minutes to three. A glance up
and down assured him that the house
was unwatcbed. He let himself la
with his own key, threw Laura's
clothes off, and, after a few moments'
hesitation, selected from the ward
robe a rough tweed suit with a thick
lining and lapels. Just as he waa
tying hla tie, the little wireless which
he had laid on the table at his aid
began to record a message. He glanced
at the clock. It was exactly three.
Quest' eyes shone for a moment
with satisfaction. Then he aent off
his answering messsge, put on a dus
ter and alouch hat, and left the boua
by th aid entrance. In a few mo

Th professor hurried away to get

they left th car at a gang and
mad their way up a back street which

'There Is one thing which will hap

"My auto and the chauffeur will be dis

Is not of myself I am thinking at all

The professor nodded sympathet
ically. "The young lady who shut Craig up
In the garage, you mean? A plucky
young woman ahe must be."
"She baa a great many other good
qualities besides courage," Quest de
clared. "Women have not counted

children, many of whom ar orphans,
ar finding a horn with th Bister
of th Institution.
There were IS children afflicted
with smallpox, several cases of which
were severe. One baby only 13 days
of age. was among the afflicted. There
were no deaths. Th listers ot the
institution devoted their entire atten
tion to the children, and It I through
their effort that th live of the chil
dren have been saved, aa well as the
attending physician.
Early In the w inter many of the chil
dren were 111 with measles, aod It was
necessary to fumigate the building.
Hardly had this tedious task been com
pleted when the smallpox broke out.
The building baa again been thorough
ly fumigated and there Is no danger
now from any further spread ot the
disease.
One ot the greatest pleasures ot
these little children are the visitors
who come on Sundays, aa well as on
week days. Many of these little ones
