"Something that's exceedingly difficult to obtain in this sad world of ours," said the doctor. "I want the truth." "If you want it badly- enough," said the Major, "you can go down to the District Attorney's office and have me brought - down there." Whereupon the aoctor only smiled. "I don't think you really mean that. Major." "No?" "No, I don't'. Now come. Ma jor " the doctor frankly plead ing, "why not tell mc the facts In the case? Then you've nothing to fear. "Follow the example of your niece, who " "What .did iie siy?" demand ed the Major quickly. "She said," the doctor empha sized each word, "that, you'd warned her against Sewell." "Suppose I did?" "Major," the doctor chr.nged the, subject quickly, "what was that receipt for?" "That was a debi." said the Major. "I see. Now. Major. I'm .going to show you an example in frank ness. I believe. Major, that there was something that caused y?n to hate Sewell as much as any man did. Something that doesn't throw discredit on you." "What are you driving at?'' "I believe. Major that yon set out to krll Sewell because you thought he'd injured your niece." "That's bunk," fumed the Major. "Very well then," said the doc tor. "You knew Sewell pretty well. Did you know there was someone living with him?" "No," replied the Major. "You did. Now, who was that person ?" "I tell you I don't know. Hang It all, I wasn't in Sewell's tonfi dence. I don't know what iie was up to." "You weren't in SeweHs con fidence, and yet you were his as sociate?" "Yes." TUBERCULOSIS FEAR IS OFTEN UNFOUNDED Expectoration of Blood, a Symptom Always As sociated with the Dread Disease, May Come from Any Member of Minor Causes, Says Dr. Copeland. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. FoiMcr Commissioner of Health, Kew York City. EVERYBODY has a dread of tuberculosis. This used to be such a common and fatal disease that all mankind came to fear it One of the achievemcrrts of modern science is the progress it has made in conquering tuberculosis. It is disappearing rapidly, thanks to general knowledge of personal hygiene. W'e may hope to see it disappear as one of the major ailmerts. A symptom which is almost always as sociated with tuberculosis is bleeding from the lungs. No matter whence it came, blood in the sputum always alarms the victim. At once he wonders if there is something dreadfully wrong. "Hemoptysis" is the term given to such ex pectoration of blood. Not by any means is blood in the sputum due to a serious disturbance. It may come from bleeding from the gum, or from a cut place in the tongue or inside of the cheek. A crust of bread or a rough tooth may injure the delicate tissues and cause hemorrhage. Following a severe attack of coughing there may be a rupture of the tissues in the throat. In consequence, the sputum may 1e stained with Mood. While we are about it, we better speak of other conditions that cause bleeding and its expulsion from the mouth. I had not thought t be quite so technical, but having begun, it may be better to complete the story. In hemoptysis the blood Is coughed up. The discharge la bright red and quite frothy. It la mixed with air. There la another condition called "hematemesis." This term la used to describe bleeding from the torn ach. In this condition the blood Is like ly to be vomited rp, but. of course, may be expelled In small quantities. This is a much more serious thing than hemoptysis. It Is due to some disease of the stomach, aa ulcer or something even more important. If much blood la expelled, no mat ter what Its source, the Important thing is to keep absolutely stilL An Ice-hag over the throat, cheat or stomach, wherever It appears, is the place; from which the blood comes, win help to control the bleeding.

"The door's right in front of you," growled the Major. The doe tor without a word, made bis ex it. As he emerge upon the street, j he smiled. There was, he felt sure. someining mat me .Major was hiding and that something had a vital bearing on the crime. He decided to telephone Marx. Perhaps that morose individual or his numerous detectives had un earthed something interesting. The doctor discovered that the role of amateur detective was not as easily played as he had pictur ed. He lacked, he found, that sangfroid of omniscience which rightly he should have. At the moment all he knew was that the Major deserved inquiry. Over the telephone Marx bade him come down immediately to his- office. Arriving there, he found the Inspector hugging a thick manuscript. "Know what this Is?" he fleet ed the doctor. "Translation of a diary kept by our friend, the bjit ler. Carraway found It in his suit case, and we had It translated. Don't often find diaries in cases like these not real ones. Bu this ain't no newspaper runt. This Is real, all right, and " He paus ed. "And solves the Sewell mur der?" suggested t.ne doctor. "Read it," commanded Marx. June 6, 1923. This is the diary of Ivan Stanu pin. It has been a long time since I have kept diaries, for the events of the revolution have beep as tounding, too enormous to permit that easy reflection of the day's happenings that I would indulge in in the days the happy days that will never come again. Once I kept a diary because the recording of the joyousness of life gave it an additional fillip. Now I write because I really do not know why. Perhaps It is be cause in the writing I may find an answer to those things that puz zle. Or perhaps it is because 1 have none to talk to, really to talk to, in confidence, as a friend. Perhaps, too, when years have passed, I shall want to show this diary, perhaps publish ft. For in the months to come, many things will happen. Many things must happen. And many In Paris, and not a few in Moscow, will want to know what I have done, and what she has done. I have not seen her yet. But I know this much: she has assumed the name of Countess Nina Kara sova and s?ems to be well sup plied with money and lovers. This is not unexpected. I believe if she were set down upon a desert isl and, she woujd within two days acquire a luxurious home, a gen erous lover, and money for her precious gambling. Nothing will or can change her. Today in accordance with my prearranged plan I have entered the employ of Oliver Sewell.

I shall set down here my prob lems, as simply and concisely as possible.

He was stopping at the Europe, our finest hotel, and maintained one of the best spites. Americans were comparatively rare In Russia, and he found no difficulty In obtaining access to the very best circles.. He had even been presented at court. Precisely what his business was I do not know. It was whispered in the cafes that he had .come for certain oil concessions in Baku, the exploitation of fields not un der the control of the powerful British syndicates. I state this merely as a rumor. As a fact, I know that he has entertained and been entertained by the powerful figures in the Duma, by Djarin. our wealthiest industrialist; by Rasputin, who then was just be ginning to obtain control of the court, and by many of the social ly powerful beauties of the day. He made very fsw enemies. Probably It was these who circu lated the report that he was an adventurer; that he contemplated gathering his concessions on a shoestring and then telling out to the highest bidder. Anything was and is possible in Russia. It is a fact that, to quote the American, he mingled his busi ness with pleasure. The decadent circle in Petrograd soon enevel oped him. His "conquests'' were numerous, if ho can speak of con quests in a life of perpetual orgy. But whatever he came to Rus sia for, his plans, were soon changed by the resolutions.

(AP) Greeting each member of the staff as he arrived for work with a threatening, gun, a cool youthful bandit this morning held up five clerks of the Royal bank of Canada, 1575 Commercial Drive and escaped with 15000 in cash. The gunman, who apparently hid in the bank premises over night, went about his holdup in a systematic manner, trussing each clerk up with a rope and placing him prone on the floor behind the counter.

It was use less for Mij. Flor. Han id and Yam the other little shadow-children with the turned-about names to beg hi mto keep away. He per sisted in going there. "One of these days you'll get ; in a mess," warned Hanid. The J impertinent shadow-boy merely laughed. "Don't worry about me," he said. But one day he did "get in to a mess" as you soon shall see. It happened on the birthday of one of the little real children. In. da was trying to have the cakes and ple8 ana cooRie3 ready for the party in the afternoon. She rushed hither and thither carry- ing plates and jars and platters and pans. So fast did she go that the oven grew warm, simply with looking at her. Naturally this wis neither the time nor the place for Master Knarf. Just the same, he went right in and before the other shadows could stop him, sprang up on the table. It was his good fortune that Inda didn't notice shadows, for if she had, he would have been put in his place at once. As it was, he roamed about the table examining everything a. J his leisure as though he were a king walking in his garden. The first thing that attracted his notice was a buttered pie plate. He climbed up over the edge and letting himself down in to it, began sliding around. "Hooray," he shouted to the others, who were watching him from a corner of the ceiling, "it's Just like a skating-rink. Come down. There's plenty of room." They shook their beads. Just then he heard a curious noise from another .corner of the tible and he hastened out to Investi gate. It proved to be Inda rolling dough for pie-crust.

The fact that he might tumble off and be relied flat did not bother him the least. And that was scarcely odd. since as a shadow he was rather flat to be gin with. At' length Iada spread the dough over the pie-plates and then proceeded to beat some white of eggs with a twirling egg-beater. Knarf caught on and went whirling around. He shout." d to the others, telling them how ruch fun they were miirg. Meanwhile Knarf Jumped on the Rolling Pin. the eggs grew fluffier and fluf fier. At length tht-y were .hor oughly beaten. All at once. ?nda gave the beater a sharp rap on the side of the dish and Knarf, who was holding on none too firmly, toppled off into the fggs. "Help, help!" he cried. Inda didn't hear him. Sh3 poured the eggs and Knarf into another dish containing apples and sugar and raisins and vanilla and stirred the mixture round and round. Tht ; more she -stirred the thicker it be came, the less could he stir. Fi nally she emptied him into the pie-plate. The other shadows grasped him by he leg and drew him out just as she was about to cover him with the top crust and bake him in the ovfh.

As a matter of fact, rpaghettl is largely starch. Some varieties i made of special flour containing a parger proportion of glute have tissue-burlding properties, like meat. But by no means as much, pound for pound. That's why spaghetti is almost invariably served with a protein meat or cheese. By itself it's mostly starch and is quite as fattening as pota toes. However, it still remains one of the most wholesome and tasty dishes on the menu, particularly as it may be prepared in hundreds of ways. In Italy, the home of spaghetti, there are hundreds ef varieties of shapes and tints and textures. Here we see only a scant dozen the thin spaghetti, the thinner Termicelli, broad macaro ni, and the little hell-shaped j "pasta." Bui whatver they look like, tney can oe cooxea in similar fashion. Good quality spaghetti is rough textured and yellow ar.d can be broken without splitting, nor should it break during cooking. Too often spaghetti is overcooked which is as bad as being under cooked, for it then becomes too soft and pasty. Use plenty of salted boiling wa ter. Place the bunch of spaghetti in the saucepan and as they heat, they will gradually coil and the whole bunch fit into the cooking utensil without being broken. mess," said Hanid.

After that the spaghetti can be prepared in any of a num ber of ways either piled high on a platter and covered with a meat or vegetable sauce, cr" baked, or re-heated in another saucepan. Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce H lb. boiled spaghetti x cup olive oil. 1 cup tomatoes, fresh or canned. 1 medium sized onion. 2 sweet green peppers. It cup grated Parmesan cheese. Heat the olive oil ia a sauce nan. Add the minced onion and peppers and cook for 15 miGutes. Add tomatoes and cook 19 min utes longer. The spaghetti should be kept hot on a hot platter, and when ready to serve, pour the sauce over it. The grated cheese is heaped in a separate bowl nod passed with the spaghetti. Two variations made a vast dif ference to the dish and a con siderable improvement, according to your viewpoint. One is to cut a clove of garlic in half and heat It in the olive oil. and when it be comes light brown, remove it. The slight flavor will be left In the dish and tone it up a' lot. Or, if you prefer, use bacon fat Ins'cad of olive oil, which also adds good flavor. Then the finished dish can be garnished with the strips of crisp bacon. Plain boiled spaghetti served with mushrevmis lightly fried in butter is a pleasant and wholesome dish. Another simple way to pre pare spaghetti is to serve it with a plain white sauce to which one tablespoonful of curry powder has been added. Or, add to one cupful of white sauce 3 well-beaten eggs and let simmer a few moments, then pour over she hot spaghetti and reheat in the oven a few mo ments. Chopped ham or dietd chicken added to white sauce make an excellent dressing for plain spaghetti. By CLIFF STERRETTj STEP THIS WAy SIR. PRikJCE IS V0AITIM6 RECEIVE YOu: T By RUSS WESTOVER, OH.
