At a com­ fortable distance from the hearth 'Stood a table bright with linen, silver and crystal--covers for two. The rear wall was broken by three doors, in Mte of which a rotund Chinaman beamed oleaginously. Ember hailed |klm by the title of Sum Fat, ex­ plaining that it wasn't his,name, but claiming for It the virtue of exquisite felicity. "My servant in, town,, here, man- af-all-work; I've had hiri» for years; faithful and indispensable. ..." : Toward the end of an excellent din­ ner, Whitaker caught himself nodding and blinking with drowsiness. Em­ ber took laughing compassion upon him and led him forthwith to,a bed­ room furnished with the rigid simplic­ ity of a summer camp. Then he slept round the clock. The shrill, impera­ tive rattle of a telephone bell roused him. As be dressed he could hear the voice of Ember in the living room talk­ ing over the telephone. Presently there came a tap at ̂ his door, and his host antered. f "Up, eh?" he said cheerfully. "I was pfrald I'd have to wake you." His smile vanished beneath the clouds of an Impatient frown.

The wind, freshening and driving finery respectable if miniature rollers jggalnst the beach, came in heavy gusts, alternating with periods of steady. Strong blowing. At times the shining " lances of the rain seemed to drive , almost horizontally. Whitaker poked Ills head into the kitchen. In that im­ maculate place, from which every bint of breakfast had disappeared as If by magic. Sum Fat was religiously ^Heading his teeth--for the third time that morning, to Whitaker's certain knowledge. When he nad finished, Whitaker pat r.

"I think vely fine three-day blow." "At least," said Whitaker, "you're a high-spirited prophet of evil. I thank you." He selected a book from several shelves stocked with a discriminating taste, and settled himself before the fire. The day wore out before his patience did, and with every indication of ful­ filling the prognosis of Sum Fat; by nightfall the wind had developed Into an enthusiastic gale, driving before it sheeted rain and great ragged wastes of mist <• - And the second day was like unto the first. The third day broke full of the spirit of the second; but toward noon the rain ceased. In the evening, weary of the sedulous attentions of a cloud of famished mosquitoes, Whita­ ker sat In darkness, not tired enough to go to bed, too tired to bestir himself and seek distraction from a tormenting train of thought. K pool of limpid moonlight lay like milk upon the floor beneath a window and held his dreaming gaze while mem­ ory marshaled for his delectation a pageant of wasted yeare. infinitely des­ olate and dreary In his vision. How long he sat unstirring, preoccu­ pied with fruitless Inquiry, he did not guess. But later he reckoned it could not have been long after ten o'clock when he was disturbed. The sound of a footfall, hushed and stealthy on the veranda, roused him with a start, and almost at the same instant he became aware of a shadow that troubled the pool of moonlight, the foreshortened shadow of a man's head and shoulders. He sat up, tense, rigid with surprise and wonder, and stared at the silhou­ etted body at pause just outside the window. The fellow was stooping to peer in. Had Drummond hunted him down to this isolate hiding place? On the thought he leaped up, in two strides slammed out through the door. "I say!" he cried loudly. But he cried, apparently, to empty air. The man was gone--vanished as strangely and as quietly as he had appeared. Pausing and glaring rouhd the clear­ ing In complete bewilderment, he de­ tected or else fancied a slight move­ ment in the shadows on the edge of the encompassing woodland. Instantly, heed lass of the risk he ran if the man were indeed Drummond and if Drum­ mond were indeed guilty of the assault now four nights old, Whitaker broke for the spot. It proved to be the en­ trance to one of the woodland paths, ,and naturally--whether or no his imag­ ination were in fault--there was no­ body waiting there to be caught. But if anyone had been there, he had unquestionably fled along the trail. Whitaker in a rage set himself to fol­ low. Before he reallzecLhe could have covered half the distance, he emerged abruptly into the cteaHng of the Fiske place. Here he pulled up, for the first time alive to the intrinsic idiocy of his con­ duct, and diverted besides by the dis­ covery that his impression of the early evening, that the cottage was tenanted, had been well founded. The ground floor windows shone with a dim but warm illumination. He could see. distinctly part of a living room rather charmingly furnished in a sum­ mery way. At its farther end a dark- haired woman in a plain black dress with a short apron and .Jftce cap sat reading by lamplight--evidently a maid. Her mistress--Judging by ap­ pearances--was outside ou the lawn* below the veranda, strolling to and fro in company with a somewhat short and heavy man who wore an automobile duster and vlsored cap. By contrast, her wHlte-clad figure, Invested with the illusion of moonlight, seemed un­ usually tall. Her hair was fair, shin­ ing like a headdress of palest gold as she bent her head, attentive to her companion. And Whitaker thought to discern an unusual quality in her movements, a quality of charm and a graciousness of mien rarely to be no­ ticed even In the most beautiful of the women he hud known. Of a sudden the man paused, pro­ duced a watch from beneath his dust­ er, consulted it briefly and shut the case with a snap. He said something in a brusque tone, and was answered by what sounded like a pleasant nega­ tive. Promptly, as if annoyed, he turned and strode hastily away, disap­ pearing round the house. Alone, the woman watched him as long as be was In sight, her head to one side with an effect of critical amusement. Then/with a low laugh, she crossed the veranda and entered the lighted room. At the same time Whitaker, lingering and watching without in the letrat understanding or even questioning why he was doing this thing so contrary to his instincts, beard the heavy rumble of a motor car on the far side of the house and saw the machine swing off across the clear­ ing into the woods. In the living rootq the woman was saying: "You'may go how, Eliae. Ill be ready for bed before long." "Yes, madam." The maid rose and moved briskly out of sight.. Her mistress rooting *sld« a scarf of embroidered Chinese brocade, stood for a moment in deep thought, her head bowed, the knuckle of a slender forefinger tapping her chin--charm­ ingly posed. Whitaker abruptly un­ derstood why it, was he loitered, peep­ ing--she was absolutely beautiful, a creature • both exquisite ahd superb, a matchless portrait for the galleries of his memory. Something--a movement or perhaps a slight sound--had drawn his atten­ tion from the woman. He gaw the other man standing boldly in full moonlight, all his attention concentrat­ ed on the brilliant picture framed by the window. He was unquestionably without knowledge of the nearness of the other--of Whitaker in the shad­ ows. And though his back was to the moon and his face further shadowed by a peaked cap. Whitaker was abso­ lutely sure of the man--he was cer­ tainly Drummond. Without pause for thought, he sprang toward him, in a guarded voice utter­ ing his name-r-"Drummond !" But the fellow proved too alert and quick for him. Whitaker's hands closed on noth­ ing more substantial than thin air; at the same time he received a blow upon his bruised shoulder smart and forcible enough to stagger him and evoke an in­ voluntary grunt of pain. And before he could regain his balance the fellow was thrashing noisily away through the woodland underbrush. Forthwith he struck off and blun- clerel senselessly through the forest He Sat Up Tense, Rigid With Surprise. misled by its elusive phantasmagoria, until, realizing at length he did but duplicate an earlier folly, he gave up the chase In disgust and slowly made his way back to the bungalowr:Vi: , What Is the connection be*! tween Whitaker, Drummond and the mysterious girl? la more than one person eager to see Whitaker dead? (TO BE CONTINUED.! HOW HISTORY: IS DISTORTED Curious Liberties Taken by 8cholars With (vents in Other Countries aa Matter of "Policy." Curious liberties have been taken by the scholars of one country with the history of another, the distortion being, of course, due in many instances to "policy." A striking example; is found in a Russian text-book edited by a greai Russian scholar, Ilo?alski: "Louis XVI was a good and peace­ ful king. After a long and famous reign. In which he was most happy in his choice of minister of finance, he died quietly in Paris, beloved by all hla people. His death was caused by a hemorrhage. "The successor of Louis XVI was his son, Louis XVIL During his reign the brave, royal army, commanded by Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte, captured the largest part of the European con­ tinent for the French crown. But the faithless Napoleon showed tendencies toward misusing his power, and was suspected of harboring dishonest de­ signs against the legitimate ruler. With the help of his majesty the em­ peror "and autocrat of all the Russians, his plans were frustrated, and he was deprived of all his possessions, hon­ ors and rights to a pension. He was then exiled to the island of St.'Helena, where he died." On Eugenlea. ' Prof. Herbert L.

Exhausted. The locomotive illustrated consists of a, large, roupd-ended tank with a false end at the front and fitted with only such apparatus as is re­ quired for the control of the steam to the cylinders. The latter, all the driv­ ing mechanism and the outside lag­ ging to prevent heat radiation are ex­ actly likfe those of an ordinary loco­ motive. Three' crosswise perforated baffle .plates are fitted in the tank. These serve to (prevent the water from surg­ ing from one end to the other and to prevent the locomotive from rocking. • In operation, the tank is first filled about half full of water. This enters through a valve at the front and passes into and out of a long perforated pipe extending the full length of the tank near the bottom. Then live stepin from the power plant on the factory site is admitted to the tank through the sume pipe as was the. .water. By the time the pressure between the boiler and the tank is equalized, generally at 150 pounds, the water level in the tank will be raised considerably and the temperature of the water will be near­ ly equal to that of the steam by which it is charged* about 370 degrees Fahren­ heit. The steam is then drawn off through a throttle-valve in a dome in the tank top and ied through a pipe to a re- ducing-valve in the false front end of the tank. This valve reduces fh«pres- sure of the steam to between GO and 65 pounds per square Inch before it Is led to the cylinders. These are es­ pecially large in diameter so that the piston area is such that > the locomotive can be moved when the steam Is at a pressure of four pounds. The exhaust steam is carried out through a pipe in the stack as shown. As the steam is used, the pressure in the tank becomes less and less, al­ lowing the water to evaporate gradual* ly and maintain a steam supply until it has been depleted to the point where It is no longer sufficiently effective.-- Popular Science Monthly.

BRIDE HE LOST Secret Vow Made in Divorce Led Husband • * * Make Good, HAD LIVED TOO HIGH Much Equipment Ordered. All high records for equipment pur­ chases by the railroads were broken during the first three weeks of No­ vember, no less than $75,754,000 being Involved in the orders placed for that period for new locoinotives and freight and passenger cars. During the three weeks the railroad equipment manu­ facturers have booked orders for a total of 34,908 freight cars conserva­ tively worth $1,500 apiece, $52,362,000; 256 domestic locomotives averaging abotat $30,000 each, $7,680,000 ; 633 foreign locomotives worth conserva­ tively $8,640,000, and 416 passenger train cars at $17,000 each, $7,072,000, a total of $75,754,000.

She has built a great double-track, broad-gauge line from Alesandrovsk, an ice-free port on her northern coast, down to Petrograd, and completed it within six months. It is 1,220 miles long and 10,000 men, mostly convicts, were employed upon it. The Great Siberian railroad, 5,527 miles long, was built In eight years. The line stretches across wild plains and forests and over great mountain ranges in a climate where for flve months in the year the soil is frozen as hard as granite. It cost $140,000,- 000 and since the date of its comple­ tion another $22,000,000 has been spent in improving the line. New Idea for Bumper.' A bumper to stop railroad cn*s has been invented that consists of a series of curved elevations in the track which gradually reduce the speed of a car, the last one being high enough to halt It. Magnetic Buffers Work Wall,. Both safety and time-saving are found to be promoted by the magnetic buffers placed at each end of the shift­ ing locomotives of the great' train yard at Berne, Switzerland. No Learning Needed.

It calls not only for rules, but for a set of men of quick percep­ tions and ready action. * A freight train entering Chestnut Hill broke in two and started down hill at a rapid rate. Its starting point was almost as elevated as the base of the statue of William Penn on the city hall. The train was finally stopped at Girard avenue In West Philadelphia, where it met an ascending grade and was easily caught by a switch engine. This brief statement of the case gives no Idea of the dangers Involved nor of the measures taken to avert disas­ ter. There were at least 50 chances that the runaway cars would encoun­ ter trains either on the Chestnut Hill branch or on the New York line. These were qverted by the systenf which has been developed to such a nicety that not only local trains, but express trains were held up while the run­ away was shifted into a tunnel and brought to rest where it could do no harm. Probably 50 towermen were in­ volved in this operation, which also attracted the attention of the main of­ fice at Broad street. If such an event had occurred a generation ago the loss of life woul'd have been terrible. That It proved bloodless is due to a system which has been evolved at the cost of possibly $100,000,000. We think of railroad ex­ penses in terms of construction cost and of equipment, but in these days the cost of safety has become a very large factor.

The first railroad built to reach the Arctic from Petrograd was fhe now ex­ isting Vologda-Archangel railroad. This road was begun In 1895 and was opened to daily traffic in November, 1897. The road was built, through uninhabited re­ gions, through forest wilds that had never known the foot of man, and over tundrap and deep swamps. To­ day one is able to travel through this country rapidly and without interrup­ tion. The distance from Archangel to Vologda is 396 miles and,the distance from Archangel to Moscow is 700 miles. The Archangel road is connect­ ed with the Trans-Siberian by way of Kollars, in the northern Dwina. The Archangel line is a single track railroad and the tremendous business which has flooded Archangel since the beginning of the war has proved too much for the single traek connection. AH ac­ counts agree that the quays at Arch­ angel are glutted with goods awaiting forwarding. It was largely because of this situation that the Russian authori­ ties decided to rench Ekaterinn harbor and to build a double-track road while about it. Even with the Ekaterlna line running, Archangel will continue to be a port of importance, and it is freely predicted that the Russian au­ thorities will double-track the Arch­ angel route. ' ' Our Friend, the Cow. Since the cow is the most economi­ cal producer of human food of all of our domestic animals, and as she can live and produce milk on a ration com­ posed entirely of roughage, she will be the animal that will be resorted to In order to convert half of the energy of our common crops, which Is otherwise unavailable, into human food. Anoth­ er reason why the cow is here to stay, and will always be of vital importance in sustaining human life. Is that ba­ bies and Invalids cannot be nourished on cornmeal mush alone. For these reasons, even after the time comes that there Is an actual struggle for hu­ man food, the dairy cow will still be a vital and abiding factor in a system of permanent agriculture, If we are to retain a high degree of civilization.
