“ Wentworth, why ever did you kill the puppy?” He panted, half trotting to keep pace with Wentworth. But he got no answer.
Wentworth increased his speed, dashed into the house and shouted for Mrs. Gainsborough. “Get the doctor here immediately. Tell him it's life and death! Tell him to bring Hopkins Solution with him, the antitoxin for the Bubonic plague!”
Wentworth forced Nita to leave immediately. He ordered the children put to bed, made them gargle with germicide and washed them and himself with medicated soap. And he ordered the policeman to take similar precautions. ”

“ And on that distant hill a large-boned, skulking man with the brim of his black hat pulled far down over his eyes, chuckled to himself.
Twenty feet away from the man was a small black satchel with a screen for ventilation opening in one end; such a satchel as small dogs and cats are carried in. ”

“ The man turned and hurried rapidly back the way he had come, leaving the satchel, and pouring strong germicide over his hands. He dropped the gloves and the antiseptic mask into a hollow tree stump, then continued his retreat up the hill. Once he had regained his vantage point he again used the glasses on the children romping upon the lawn. ”

“ This must be some new and as yet unknown form of the plague.”
The little boy screamed out suddenly in anguish, straightened in the bed and doubled over its edge. Blood gushed from his mouth. The doctor went swiftly to work on him, and Wentworth made way for a trained nurse who had just arrived. Her skilled help would be of far greater assistance than his own. Sombrely, he left the room, having almost to fight Mrs. Gainsborough to keep her out. He went directly to a bath where he stripped and literally bathed himself with germicide, syringing out mouth and nostrils. ”
