Down at the army post the next morning we had no difficulty in
being inoculated against the disease. The work of immunising our
army was going on at that time, and several thousands of soldiers
in various parts of the country had already been vaccinated, with
the best of results. "Do many civilians come over to be
vaccinated?" asked Craig of Major Carroll, the surgeon in charge.
"Not many, for very few have heard of it," he replied.
"I suppose you keep a record of them."
"Only their names--we can't follow them up outside the army, to
see how it works. Still, when they come to us as you and Mr.
Jameson have done we are perfectly willing to vaccinate them. The
Army Medical Corps takes the position that if it is good for the
army it is good for civil life, and as long as only a few
civilians apply we are perfectly willing to do it for a fee
covering the cost."
"And would you let me see the list?"
"Certainly. You may look it over in a moment."
Kennedy glanced hurriedly through the short list of names, pulled
out his notebook, made an entry, and handed the list back. "Thank
you, Major."
Bisbee Hall was a splendid place set in the heart of a great park
