THE DISCOVEETUftlre'X-r»y
la 1295 was the last *ceet Advance
in medical science. Every medical
advance made in the twentieth
century has been a projection or
development of a medical discov-
ery made previously.
The great discoveries of this
eentuay have been insulin for dia-

his column.
betes; liver for anemia; the sulfa
drugs, penicillin and arsphen-
amine for infections; dairy in-
spection and dean milk for infant
feeding; the vitamins in nutrition;
vaccination against typhoid, diph-
theria, typhus, whooping cough
and scarlet fever; psychoanalysis
for the neuroses; and in the field
of diagnosis blood chemistry, the
electric wave recorder (electro-
cardiograph) in heart disorders,
the Wasaermann test,—and all of
these had been suggested or tried
out, had their roots in the eight-
eenth and nineteenth centuries.
The X-ray, however, was abso-
lutely new, »ui gentris, a perfectly
fresh phenomenon, springing like
Venus from the head of Jove,
without any real predecessor or
parentage. It has penetrated into
every field of diagnosis. Starting
out haltingly, used only to show
the outline of bones and hence
used only to show fractures, it
now operates in every field of
medical practice, so that the X-ray
specialbt in a hospital heads a
separate department of his own.
He cannot belong to either the de-
partment of surgery or medicine
or children or obstetrics because
he serves and gives advise to all of
them.
X-rsy in Diagnosis
la reviewing what the X-ray
can do in diagnosis it is well to
understand what it cannot do.
Someone wrote me the other day
and asked whether the X-ray
would show a heart murmur. No,
H will not, because a murmur is a
sound and the X-ray show* differ
ences in density evident to sight,
mot sounds.
We have another instrument,
the stethescope, which is equally
as wonderful as the X-ray if medi-
cal men will take the trouble to
learn to use it, Which reveals
sounds, including heart murmurs.
The stethescope also shows up
asthma in the lodge which the
X-ray dan not because the signs
of asthma are entirely sounds.
Pneumonia shows up on tKe X-ray,
but is better detected with the
stethescope.
One of my readers asks me if
there isn’t some other way to tell
appendicitis besides feeling the
abdomen. If she means th? X-ray.
no, there isn't. Principally because
in face of the possibility of ap-
pendicitis it is dangerous to give
anything by mouth and the X-ray
shows nothing about the intes-
tines unless a barium meal is
swallowed. Besides palpation of
the abdomen, if done skilfully, is
one of the finest and most infor-
mative pieces of technique xc the
diagnostician's bag.
Positive Accomplishments
The positive accomplishments of
the X-ray in diagnosis make them-
selves very evident as one reviews
such a recent modern book as Rig-
ler’s Outline of Roentgen Diag-
nosis. Its values may be ranked
thus; ^
In fractures of the bones and
dislocations of the joints the X-
ray is indispensable. In bone dis-
ease. such as tuberculosis, pus
infection or tumor, it is Jhe best
means of diagnosis.
In tuberculosis of the lung its
decision is final. In heart disease,
it is sometimes helpful, but not
necessary.
In stomach and intestinal dis-
ease it is valuable in all cases,
almost indispensable in the diag-
nosis of cancer.
In kidwey disease with the help
of dyes—very valuable.
In gallstones and gallbladder
disease—indispensable.
In skull disease, brain tumor,
chronic nose infection and ear
disease — sometimes valuable,
sometimes worthies*

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Rae moved her clothes back, for
the stove was glowing cherry red.
Up on the bed, Irna’a imp began
playing, tugging at the folds of the
blanket, and the water cm the stove
was humming. 0
“Cdfee soon," he announced.
Chin resting on her kmea, her
eyes followed Cohn as ha gassed
about the room.
“J hate to think this is our last
trip,” he heard her say. He made
no answer. Hte eyes kept meeting
hers, with a growing a mar of some-
thing left unsaid, of some mm, ttou-
bling presence that had not been
there before
Cohn began playing with the dog.
Then softly her hand touched his
hair. “Your hair is as wet as mine
was.”
Irina’s fingers passed across his
neck, lifting the wet hair back from
his forehead, while he raised his
face to look at her; for a moment
her warm harfds rested on his
shoulders.
They were not smiling now;
dreamlike, unreal in the cabin’s
gloom, her face stooped closer un-
til the red lips arid the long, green
eyes became his only reality in s
drifting world. He saw her lips part,
saw her arms reach out to him as
she swayed forward , . .
A wilder blast from the north buf-
feted the cabin, rattling the win-
dows, bringing* deeper roar of de-
fiance from the fire, but her hands
were moving down over his shoul-
ders, her hair was brushing his neck.
Then, in the same instant, they
heard a shout from the direction of
idle lake.
With a sense of the world tum-
bling about his ears, Colin opened
the door and peered out through the
storm.
It was Dove. Muffled in a heavy
khaki coat, the little man came up
the path, and at sight of Colin he
called, "I saw the smoke and couldn’t
resist the chance of hot coffee.”
Then he saw Irina’s clothes drying,
and his head jerked toward the bed.
For a second his eyes held the
girl’s eyes. “You capsized.”
“I was fool enough to try the rap-
ids.”
‘‘Swift water is dangerous,” Dove
murmured, “especially when it’s be-
yond one’s depth.”
Heart still pounding. Colic turned
from that smiling scrutiny and be-
gan filling the coffee pot. As if out
of some fantastic dream he watched
his own hand trembling; it was all
unreal. Nothing was changed, ex-
cept—mechanically he realized that
the water in the kettle had boiled
low, and, slipping on his windbreak-
er. he picked up a bucket.
“I’ll be back in a minute.” He
hurried out the door.
Humming a quiet air, Dove drew
off his mittens and sat down oppo-
site Irina.
“You don’t look chilled.” He was
still smiling. ,
"Not now.” “ £-'0,.-
“That’s youth. An„«dventure like
this will have no bad effect on you
or Rae. But to a person, say, as old
as Rodney Silkirk—” . *
He let the sentence die in midair;
his eyes caught sight of tn« dog on
the edge of the bed, and he held it
aloft in one of hi? great hands. Bar-
ing its small white milk teeth, the
pup growled viciously, and Dove
nodded. “I’m afraid you do not like
me." He tapped the dog, lightly.
"But you should slmw better man-
ners to one w^o works in the same
cause as your mistrees.”
With fixed gaze Irina watched
him, while a vein on her temple be*
gan pulsing. Dove laid the dog be-
side her, arid his hand touched her
wrist.
“Die zeit ist out, Irina."
The soft sibilance of German died
away, and in English, Dove stressed,
“We are ready now for you.”
Irina smiled. In thoughtful ap-
proval Dove looked down at her.
“Our New York agents told me
you were intelligent,” He lapsed
again into German. “I agree. You
also have unusual Aarrn. Intelli-
gence and charm—you will need
them both, my dear.”
“For what?”
“For a little lesson to that dear
United States.”
“But they are not at war.”
“In December Japan will take
care of that.”:^'^
“Why did you wait so long to tell
me this?” she asked.
“To make sure. I am a very cau-
tious person, Irina. Besides, you
must have guessed who I was.”
“I thought at first it was Dr.
Benedict.”
-Dove gave a short laugh. “Big
men make poor spies.” Walking
across the cabin, he glanced out the
window. “We have not much time,”
he warned. : j
“Tell me whet to do.” The girl’s
voice showed no sign of emotion-
only a kind of impassive submission.
Dove seated himself comfortably
on the edge of the bed. “Have you _
let yourself become involved with *sible that he should 1

Colin Rae?”
“I am involved only with the
Party.” This time her voice sharp-
ened. Then he smiled. “I think we
shall get along.”
Again she said, “Tell me what to
do.”
“Two things — both of them urT
gent, and both you will find out

smile came and wwnt—“or is that
advice unnecessary?” ,
Quickly she asked, “What of

“He may be in our way. Ha ”
Dove broke off. “But win hia con-
fidence.” He glanced again ditaqgh
the window.
“You think that will be difficult?”
qKp aqlra/l
“Nothing will be difllcak 4f fag

“Why should I lose it?”
He began polishing his glasses.
“For the one reason that makes
women the best and worst spies in
the world—they possess whst is
popularly described as a 'heart.’ A
heart, meine kleine, is a dangerous
luxury for those wbo follow epsr
path. You are permitted one loyalty
alone—the Party. And here, I am

toward the window. “We will talk
again*” *
When Colin pushed open the door,
he saw only a small mild-mannered
man, adjusting his gold-rii
glasses, and a girl swathed m
kets, watching him with long, green
eyes.
Mechanically Colin poured feeefe
water into the boiling kettle—«a*h-
ing seemed real, neither the people
about him nor what he hiowijf was
doing.
He heard Dove say, “It’s a day

reply. It was as if all this were

happened long ago. Wikfty wupoe-

In deep earnestness Dove raised

will be heard around the world.”

quietly. “I may go out" V
