pi.-r Utft'rj' 12 URGESTREATMENT E PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14. The popu lar Illation that sufferers from tuber culosis CM be cured only at places far from home where climatic conditions are said to be ideal is dispelled by Health Director Xruseh In the weekly bulletin Issued by the department of health and charities. Director Krusen points out that thousands-of persons who have sought the western hljh altitudes In the hope of curing tuberculosis are so affected by the tedium of the lonr Journey and so weakened by the effects of sud denly exposing; themselves to radically different conditions that the looked for cure does sot materialise. The ad vantage of the fresh air In the local ities to which the patient has already become acclimated, says the director, orerbalances those In places of low at mospheric pressure, which causes ex tra work upon the heart muscles of the already weakened patient. There are many places In the East where tubercular patients may receive the fresh air cure. In fact, the out door life In this part of the country, where the temperature Tarles, has a singularly stimulating effect upon the body, promotes more active resisting powers and does not have the disad vantage of an unaccustomed climate far from home. During the first thirty-five years the death rate for tuberculosis has rapidly decreased, and the percentage of per manent cures has been unusually high. These results have been 'brought about largely through the emphasis which has been laid upon the necessity of fresh air for all tu bercular patients. In order still fur ther to decrease the ravages of the disease, the bureau of health urges 'that all persona suffering from tuber culosis avail themselves as much as .possible of the open-air treatment In the vicinity of their Domes.

She ran toward them with the eagerness mra . . ...!, love of flowers and received a further surprise when she became aware that wey core a iocs sage a dainty envelope nestled under the blossoms. Ilma's eyes opened wide to read a communication signed by the vary name she had applied to the mysterious stranger, "Nemesis. Its meaning puxxled her.

Isn't It mysterious? I'm dying to see you and to tell you all about If lima listened to Harry's remarks with evident pleasure. Suddenly he rang off, after a hasty promise to see her at once. Harry's abrupt ending of the conversa tion was not due to any desire on his part to stop tar from it; but to tne entrance of Stayne, one of the men who foUowed Orady and a companion of Handsome Jack. Stayne was evidently terrified, for he burst In and looked about furtively. "Look here," he said. In a whisper, 'can you hide mel" "What's the matterr" asked the an noyed Harry, with one hand over the mouthpiece of the phone. "Matter I I'm wanted ror muraer, that's aUI" This was a serious thing. "But you're not ruiltvr stammered Harry, who had no idea of shielding Suyce if he were. "Now don't get excited on that score; will you hide me. that's aU,I want to knor yes or not" "Ars you guilty yes or nor demand ed the young man. "I am not." said Stayne. "AM right." said Harry; "now UU me about It." Tor answer the accused man took off his coat and hat. produced a morning paper and pointed to a front headline. RICH MAN STRANGELY MURDERED. The Only Clue to the Slayer of Charles Mason So Far Is a Finger Print "With a thick rope about It, the body of wealthy Charlea Mason, brother of Perry Mason, inventor and aviation expert, was found early to day on top of a barn at Hempstead. U I. Finger prints In the possession of the poUce probably will serve to Identify the murderer, who other wise might weU have" "WeUT" asked Harry, pausing and looking at the other. "Wellt" echoed Stayne, pointing over his shoulder to the naragraph on the linger marks, "thole are my finger marks, that'a all. Now do you seet" HARRY IS PUZZLED. "No, I don't," answered the pux xled Harry. "You say you didn't" "If you'll let me explain." broke In the nervous Stayne. "I found I could make a little haul out in the suburbs. In the bouse of these chaps, the Masons get met Well, this place Is a big bouse set about with trees. I rot In all right Oh. I knew where I waa going. There was a lot of valuable old silver In the dining room and I had a big bag along. But that wasn't the only thing I had: that's what makes me wild.

He takes tnem unaer the llsrht oh. they'd turned on the iirht sll rleht and whistles. Then the other brother comes over. "Well, young man,' says Charlea to me, you can go along, we won't prosecute you, and we'll keep these two pearls as evidence of good r.iih "Can vou beat It? I lost my head. You will not,' I shouted; "you'll turn 'em over to the police, that's what you'll do. You'll do that or you'll let me have one back get roef "We get you, said Perry. It's bargain; but first come here, and he marched me at the point of a gun to the table and there he forced me to register my finger prints then he sneered. "I guess you'll keep pretty quiet now, Mr. Burglar and Pearl Fancier, he says, pointing to the door, nd out I went." "Well," asked Harry, "then what?" "Then what!" shouted Stsyne. "Here's one of the brothers murdered and his body found on top of a barn, and mr Anger prints planted on him somewhere, and you ask then what?" Harry rose. "It's serious, all right," he said, "but I wonder who these what motive " OFFERS OTHER PEARL. "Never mind motives," cried Stayne. "WU1 you help me to get out of this that's what I want to know. Can I rely on you? I'll tell you what ni do; I'll make you a present of this other pearl If you find out the truth." Harry shook his band. "I'm your man, and first of all stay here quietly.

Stayne started back In a panic "This Is luck," cried Harry. "Come In." He Introduced Stayne, and in sisted on his telling the whole story over again. - "I know you're Innocent," raid lima. Axing her clear eyes on him. "and we'll set you fret After that I hope you'll stick to the straight road." Stayne held out the pearl. "It's yours," he stld, " If you get me out of this." But before he naa nmsaea Harry and lima had, left. The two put their heads together as to the best way to approach Perry Mason. Here was a house in which a murder of the most unusual inge nuity had been planned. The surviv ing brother no doubt had the pearl Stayne had been forced to yield. The question was bow to get evidence to free Stayne, but also how to secure the second pearl. With the two al ready In Ilma's possession that would make four of the seven. "I'll tell you," suggested lima, "we can say we came for news as report ers. How will that dor And as reporters they knocked on the. front door of the Mason house and were admitted by a negro butler. Mr. Perry Mason was an odd look lnr man with a peculiar habit of pull ing his Angers, which habit seemed to indicate deep thought. He paled a little on seeing Harry and, lima, like a man who had met them before but did not cars to have them remember the fact, The two pseudo reporters gased at him without a glimmer of recognition and began to ply him with questions about the attempted rob bery, an account of which had also appeared in the papers. ASKS TO SEE PEARL. Perry Mason could not suppress a start when lima asked if she coma see the pearl taken from the burglar. Now, there had been no mention of the pearl In the news account, ana he reluctantly produced the Jewel, wondering meanwhile where the strange Information could have come from. Only the surprise occasioned by Ilma's question accounted for bis producing It at alt lima and Harry examined the pearl and assured themselves that It was one of the seven. Then they reluct nil. returned it to the present owner. Mr. Mason, with all the- polite ness In the world, then declined 10 show the visitors over the house, -n.inrtantlv thev left lima, notlc Ing that the key remained In. the aiiu, f.nnr Hoar, sllnned It out of the lock and pocketed as they departed. They were silent on the way back. Hera was a mystery too deep for or dinary methods. lima was thought fuL Their arrival at Harry's rooms k-ii.hi no relief to the nervous Stayne, who plainly showed the strain under which he was laboring. "Oood news?" he asked, facing them. They shook their heads. "Can't you hit on some evidence to clear me?" His voice rose and cracked and he moistened his lips. "You see, I didn't do it I never set eyes on the fellow before last night" "Wenow you didn't kill him," said lima, sitting- near the table. Stayne, with a keen sight Into hu man nature, produced the pearl and placed It near lima. The moment her eyes lighted on It her enthusiasm was Ared. "Isn't there some way we can manage It?" she asked, desperately. "I tell you I know If I can get Into that house again I can dig up some clue to the mystery." And she started for the door. But Harry waa before her. "You re not going there again," he said. "Come now, lima, give up the key." And lima, still refusing, found the key forced from her hand. SLIPS KEY INTO HAND. In a At of despair she ssnk Into her chair and, hiding her head In her hands, gave way to a spell of weep ing. Harry ran to comfort her, leav ing the cause of all the trouble on the table. The astute Stayne quleUy picked up the key, and while the young man was engaged In trying to reassure lima, surreptitiously slipped It Into her hand. "Well," said lima, drying her eyes, "If it isn't to be, it Isn't" She went out, and Harry and Stayne were left to wonder what would happen next In this strange net of circumstantial evidence. Meanwhile Perry Mason, having got rid of his Inquisitive callers, racked his brains as to where they could have learned that he bad taken a pearl from the burglar. It made him uneasy. Had he been watched? He answered a call from police headquar ters and his face lighted as he heard that the Anger prints had been Identl Aed as those of Stayne, alias Har chlson, alias Haynes burglar, bank robber, accomplice of Jimmy Hope In the Manhattan Bank robbery. The negro butler stood shaking his head gloomily during this conversa tion, so much so that his employer saw At to slap him on the back after he had hung up the receiver. "Cheer up," he said, gayly, "they're on his track." But the negro refused to believe It and moved away, while Mr. Mason looked angrily after him. Ilma's sudden exit from Harry's apartment was the result of ber de termination to return to the Mason house alone and there do everything In her power to clear Stayne and thus recover not only his pearl, but the one in the possession of Ferry Mason. With this end In view she proceed ed cautiously In the evening to the mansion to which she now had the key. Before her arrival there was no sign of life within. The solitude seemed absolute. Finally a light ap peared and the butler moved about downstairs, peering this way and that as though he feared a ghost MISSES THE APPARITION. Evidently he waa satisfied that all was well, and he withdrew Into the dining room just In time to miss the sight of an apparition coming down the stairs. The executioner, whose watch over lima had never relaxed. tiptoed along carefully toward the front door as though he expected some one. He even tried the knob, but quietly slipped back Into tha shadow when he realized that some one was trvlner to enter. lima, having used the key, opened the door noiselessly and stepped In SUNDAY; OCTOBER 14; 191T. side with beating heart The only sound was a strange mumbling aa Of some one praying.

The negro butler was Kneel ing with clasped hands raised high and from his lips came an Impassion ed supplication: "Oh. mar de rood Lord have mercy on my soul." he cried, his eyes Axed on the celling. lima listened. What could he mean? aha wondered, but not for long.

Or, Massa Mason, you know It's true. You caln't hide yourself from de Lawd. He seen you kill your brother he seen you " "You dog, .you're erasyr cried Perry, now shaking him violently. "Shut ud.

Here was a warning from the Individual whl had returned the two pearls. It was not to ba ig nored. Still she could not make up her mind to give over the enterprise before completing It in full. But she desisted from ascending the stairs, . mkitir her war back, stopped by the partially opened Ubrary door to watch the actions or nnr siseuu. LOOKS AT PEARL. That gentleman lit a cigarette and then produced the pearl he had Alched from Stayne. He looked at It lovingly and turned It round and round evi dently he was fully aware of Its unique value. Then his eyes roamed around the room, seeking for a place to deposit the Jewel where It would be safe. "Ahl" be spoke aloud, "who would think of looklnr in that big vaae?" He walked to the mantel, deposited the pearl in the oottom or me jar then fumbling for a match discovered that his box was empty and left the room to secure one. This was Ilma's opportunity, duo slipped Into the library. She neared fc .mi. hsr hand aousrht the bottom. The pearl was in her fingers. With a glow of exultation sne lei it no u nalm and then, with a sigh of relief. started for the door Then and only then sne saw s-eiry Mason watching her cynically from the threshold between the library and the dining room. "Young woman, stand still!" He covered her with a revolver ana marched her to the desk In the next room. "Now explain yoursen. Ilma surveyed him, at a loss what excuse to give. "It'a too bad to have a pretty girl like you arrested," said Perry Mason, reflectively, regarding her with the eye of desire. "Come, I'll make a bar gain with you. You are free If " "Oh. thank you!" cried the relieved lima, backing away. Mason advanced, -im airaia you don't quite understand," he said. "Let's seal the little bsrgaln with a kiss. What do you say?" For answer, lima struck him in the face a smashing blow that set his head reeling. A blind anger seised him. He picked up the heavy Ilre tonges and struck at her. From the other room came the but ler. He rushed between them and pushed lima out of danger. "Telephone for the police," demand ed Mason. "This woman Is a -thief. I caught her." The butler moved to the telephone. Terrified, lima called on him to wait "If you dare telephone," she said, her eyes flashing, "I will proclaim you the murderer you are I know your story all of It" Perry Mason recoiled. Then he called to the negro: "Seise her! We'll settle this account In our own way." HELD BY NEGRO. And at the very moment that lima thought she would be free she found herself held fast by the strong arms of the negro. Perry Mason then lock ed the doors and motioned the butter to bring his prisoner Into the center of the room. He pushed the desk to one side and revealed, set In the floor, an iron ring. Now for the Arst time lima noticed tha strange arrangement of this room. Its celling wss of glass, set Into windows that opened upon the sky. About Its sides were ranged huge tanks labeled "hydrogen." Mr. Mason produced a silk bundle and a brand new rope. He even smiled as he spoke to lima. "You say you know all; very well. I will show you more then you dream of. for I will treat you In the same way I treat my other enemies. You shall learn all my secrets, but you will never be able to tell one of them." "Massa! Massa!" cried the negro, "not her, too!" "Poor fool!" called the angry man, "do ou want to go to the electric chair with met" The Executioner, having passed the warning to lima, now had disappear ed.

But Harry was to know me onior- ness of delay a tire Burst re quired some time to fix It and all the while he was conjuring up tha most terrible fata for lima. Perry Mason's actions held Hmas attention much as the motions of a snake fascinate a helpless bird. She could' not at Arst conceive what he was planning. He attached a tuba leading from tha bundle of silk to one of the tanks, and lima saw the silk begin to swell, to assume large pro portions and to take the form of a balloon which, fastened to the ring in tne noor oy a smaii corn, wma It Ailed and rose toward the glass roof.

Ferry Mason surveyed his work with evident pride, "I am fastening you to tha balloon, young woman," ha said calmly, "and when It Is fully Inflated I shall cut the cord and set It free. " Meanwhile I' shall pour a little acid on the rope that holds you, and by ths time the balloon has reached ths ocean. If the present.wlnd holds, tha acid will have eaten through the rope and you will be dropped among tha Ashes. As a realization of this fiendish re venra dawned In all Itshorror on the mind of the helpless lima she felt her self, fainting. Nor did she revive until she 'felt the cold night wind -on her face. Bhe waa moving forward at a rapid pace, dangling from the end of the rope; below was the green earth; above the moonlit sky. She screamed and heard an answerina call. Harry Drake, his aCto rushing to ward the Mason house, looked up and recognised lima. He was almost too dased to think. He could do noth ing. He stopped the car and yelled, but tha balloon sued on and lima. whirling round and round, dlsappear- eu toward the ocean. Harry Drake sank Into ths tonneau. helpless, unnerved, unaoie to move.
