Newly-Discovered Serum Is Used Successfully in Drowning Cases Baltimore, Md.— Physicians at the Johns Hopkins hospital invented Home tim e ago a device to restore to life those apparently dead from drowning. It proved successful on animals that could be put under treatment immedi ately a fte r the accident. W ith the idea o f restoring life some time after the accident, physi cians began to search for a desired serum. However, in most o f the cases there have been after effects, such as high blood pressure or hardening o f the ar teries. According to the physicians, i f the serum can 1« injected into the jierson even several hours after the accident, it w ill restore life .

A large number o f bandits are re ported by arrivals from the north to be operating in the Sierra Mojada, The Sierra Mojada is 120 miles north o f Torreon and an equal distance west o f Parral. It is one of the wildest and most desolate spots in Mexico. There is a good deal o f speculation here as to the |Kissibility that V illa and Canuto Reyes are planning to concentrate their forces in this sierra. I f they do, any troops coming from the direction o f Parral would have to cross the terrible Mapini desert, a burning waste stretching 100 miles north and south and from 50 to 60 miles broad. It is a spot that is dread ed by Mexicans and shunned by fore igners. 1 In preparing the official records for his next biennial report. Superintend ent of Public Instruction J. A.

"A ll Frenchmen gamble.” he said, “ either with their lives, other people's lives, their honor, or somebody else's honor. W ill you not take a hand?” Arnaud hesitated with something of his first frigidity of manner, but there were nervous, feverish patches o f color In his pale face. " I beg your pardon— I did not catch your name?” he said coldly. "L ow e— Stephen Lowe, at your serv ice.” Arnaud returned the formal little bow. " I shall be delighted.” They turned toward the table. Sower laughed significantly.

There was no trace of hesitancy In his manner us he an swered Sower’s belated welcome, but instead a not easily defined shade of Insolence. 8ower appeared to notice nothing. “ Help yourself,” he said hospitably, "and sit down. You look queer. Any thing wrong?” Farquhar made no answer. He sank down Into the proffered chair, and, having poured out half a tumbler of brandy from the decanter at his elbow, stared moodily Into the firelight. Sower watclie»l him cautiously. “ You look HI, Farquhar,” he repeat ed after a moment. “ Cau I do any thing for you?" Farquhar looked up. “ Ever been drunk?” he asked ab ruptly. “ No. I'v e never been tempted that way. H ave you?” “ Not yet. I'm thinking of trying It." Desert mirages and heart mi rages. This is one you must not miss. He threw back bis bead with a laugh. Sower tossed bis clgur eml Into the fender. “ I shouldn’t If I were you.” he said coolly.

Then Preston suddenly left the card-table, went over to tbe fire side and stood there with his back turned, his head bent. He did not no tice Farquhar, who looked up as though raised from Ids deliberate leth argy by some painful sound. The boy’s round, unformed face was wet. “ Hullo— Preston!” He started violently. "Oh. you. Farquhar— I didn’t know you were there. For God's sake don't look at me— I'm a fool— but I'm cleaned out. T w o litiiidre»l pounda at a sit ting— all my allowance— ” He broke off.

He stumbled against the first step o f the stairs, touched some thing that was warm and living, and In the recoil struck his head against a treacherous overhanging shelf. “ I beg sornebo»1y’s pardon,” a quiet voice said through the subsequent si lence. “ I'm afraid I ’ ve killed some body." Then the light was switched on. Farquhar saw before him a small person, dowdlly dressed, with a small, thin face under a small hat. He took “ I Am a Cur,” He Said Under His Breath. bis band from bis bead and consid ered It. “ No very serious damages, I fear. Give me au arm up to my room, will you ?"

Hatless, with sleeves rolled up to her elbows, she knelt before the fire, engaged in a quiet but deteruilne«l struggle with a rusty and refractory kettle. Presently she got up from her knees. "In two minutes you will have your tea." she announced In the ruthless tones o f a professional nurse. “ How Is your head now ?” “ Better— ” For the first time she turned and looked him full In tbe face, and he broke off blankly. Either she was young, or she had conserved In those tw o clear, steady eyes all that la youthful and all that Is splendid In youth.

His eyes were dangerous. “ I say. this Is a damned gambling bell,” be said ch-arly. "D id you speak, Farquhar?" Sower asked quietly. Farquhar did not move. "Yes.
