Where- upon Mr. D: Souza followed his wife snd daughter along the drive and caught them up u n the doorstep. With mingled lump of apprehen- sion end elation he ushered them into the morning-room where Trent was standing looking out of the window with his hands behind him. At their) entrance he did not at once turn round. Mr. Du Souls coughed spolo- getically. "Right along," answered the young lady, "I'rn with you, but as to writing Mr. Trent, you can tell him from me, Mr. Da Scum, that we want to have nothing more to do with him.

[ The Jew shrugged his shoulders. "Yes." "Hand it over." Da Souza drew a large folding case from his pocket, and after searching through it for several moments pro- duced an envelope. The handwriting was shaky and irregular, and so faint; that even in the strong, sweet light! of the morning sunshine Trent had difficulty in reading it. He tore it open and drew out a. half-sheet of coarse paper. It was a message from ahedman who for long he had counted I ea . too risky! He thrust the weapon back into the drawer with a sigh of regret, just as Da Souza himself appeared upon the scene. Scarlett Trent spent the first part of the morning, to which he had been looking forward so eagerly, alone in his study with locked door to keep out all intruders. He had come face to face with the first serious check in his career, and it had been dealt him, too, by the one man whom, of all his associates, he disliked and despised.; In the half-open drawer by his side was the barrel of a loaded revolver. He drew it out, laid it on the table be- fore him, and regarded it with moody, fascinated eyes. If only it could be safely done, if only for one moment he could find himself face to face with Da Souza in Bekwando village, where human life was cheap and the slaying of a man an incident scarcely worth noting in the day's events! The thing was easy enough there-here it was "Hiram," shi, said, "you are derful man!" She rose and imprinted a solemn kiss upon his forehead. There was something sacramental about the de- liberate caress. "The man, he is in my power," D. Souza says in a ponderous amt stealthy whisper. "I know some-{ thing.” We remain! He does not look at our Julie. He speaks of marriage with rontempt. Yet you say he will marry her-he, a millionaire! What does it lean, Hiram Y' "This Mr. Trent, he asked us here, but it is plain that our company is not pleasant to him. He does his best to get rid of us-he sueeeeds-he plans that we shall not return. You see him alone and all that is altered. His little. scheme has been in vain. "Most women, Hiram-mot me.' Do I ever seek to know your secrets? But this tinte-yes, it would be wiser to tell me a little'." "Well?" "I will go now-this instant," she answered, rising. "But, Hiram, there is one thing I would much like to know!" "But the time has come!" md Souza exclaimed. "It is here now, and Julie is sulky. She will have red eyes and she is not gay! She will not attract him. You must speak with beryl my dear." _ __ _,V v--. "n--.

The Germans - succeeeded in making great headway because the British article has always -l been somewhat expensive; but at the t' same time it is absolutely accurate, .? owing to the care taken in preparation ' 5 while it is of great strength and cap- . " able of withstanding hard usage. The) 13 Germans, however, devoted the utmost l r, attention to cheapness, fashioning i] their globes from inferior material, / ignoring questions of accuracy, and l'. depending rather upon gaudy coloring " than the correct fitting of the maps r' to the spherical surface. But the I cheaper article found a ready market; I and as the dearer British globe was /ousted and was seldom seen it was M impossible for the prospective buyer to compare the two grades of manu- "aeture. But the demand for globes is increasing rapidly, since now-a-days _ a school cannot possibly complete the _ geography lesson without one. The . manufacture of a perfect globe of , solid construction is a somewhat slow I and tedious process. The shell is com- lposed of several superimposed thick- inesses of brown paper, upon which is laid a secretly prepared and special composition. When hard and dry this [ surface is trued in a gauge, smoothed and polished. This is a phase of the _ work which demands the greatest care and skill, since, if the sphere is not (true to the smallest fraction of an _ inch, the gores of maps will not fit ex- _actly. These are pasted on in such a manner that there is no overlapping lwhatever, the edges coming fitush to- _ gether. The globe completed it is colored and varnished, the final opera- ( tion, after mounting on the stand, lie- iintt the flttintr of the meridian ring. For Appearance Sake.

Seven years ago, in July of 1908, a great deal of excitement was caused by the recovery of diamonds in the district of Luderitzbucht. The stones were small but good, of the Brazilian type, and were discovered on the sur- face pf the sandy soil. Big possibili- ties exist here, for the land has not You may meet rock-rabbits, if you are lucky, or snakes, if you are not. Other living things you may encoun- ter are monkeys, hyenas, jackals, Springbok, crocodiles, and turtles, and any of 728 different varieties of birds. As you travel farther inland from the coast and reach the interior fringe of the barren belt, which even the ani- mals avoid, the dreary desert and sand dunes disappear, giving place to gor- geous mountains, wonderful trees and luxuriant mountain VIII s. The Okavango valley is especially rich, with its dwarf palms and papyrus. One mountain rises above the rest. It is Mount Omatako, more than twice as lofty as Snowdon. The climate im- proves, too. It is warmer and more genial, and water is more plentiful. If you should visit the resort at any time you’ll find 1 harpoon more handy than a shrimping net. Whales are plentiful. Despite all these drawbacks, "Botha- land" does possess one town which has possibilities as a sea-side retsort-- namely, Swakopund. Here a port and l a harbor have been tutificuuiy engin- leered by man, since Nature treated the coast so sparingly in this respect. The tutifleia1 port of Swakopund is connected by rail with WaliUh Bay. The Inland Mountain. Very likely, after the war, when the British emigrant seeks diamonds and other good things that lie beneath the surface of Bothaland, he will make merry in Swakopund during the holl- day season, and try to convert it in- to an African Brighton or Blackpool. " But before you reach those moun- “tains, you wilt have to cross in- Giiii%fii sand dunes, and you will " find it very thirsty work. l Rivers Without Water. Moat of the rivers which run sea- wards from the mountains are merely dry river-beds by the time they reach you. They are waiting thirstily for ith? rain which will set them flowing. (When the rain comes they will swell iout to a breadth of half a mile, per- (hares, if the fall is heavy; but the ;arched land will absorb the water so irapidly that the bed lower down may, [never fill properly at all. The sea-fogs which rise almost daily are the one regular source of moisture upon which the desert shore can rely. These fogs are not a bit pleasant, however, and the disease is not much worse than the remedy. But even in dry river-beds water may be found by digging down into the sand. Many a man has died of thirst with water but a few feet away, had he only known it. you tro huts: ' Picture, if you con. eight hundred miles of coast without a single good. natural harbor. It is a low coast, a sea-bound desert, stretching inland over parched sand for about M miles towards the south and rather less to- wards the north. Beyond, if your eyes can pierce the dense fog which they are liable to encounter, you may dis- cern the dim outlines of lofty moun- tains, rising as high as 9,000 feet above the sea.

A submarine seldom attacks a vessel unless it is alone. for it run only attack one at a time, and whilst it is handling a torpedo at its first mark the second veseel has an ex- cellent opportunity of ramming the submarine, which con be located by the tell-tale periscope. l A speedy ship with!!! follows on er- mtie zigzag course is s poor mark h s submarine. When a torpedo is dis. patched minst s fut-travelling ves- sel it is directed to I point just ahead of its mark, and the craft literally runs into the death-dealing device. This obviously cannot happen, how. ever, if ship is swinging rapidly from side to side, and alternatively point- ing the mrrow expense of its bows or stem to the under-sea wksmen. M SCH“ Am I Vessel tum: It is Alone. It is the surprise attack which ia lneerly every use ennbles a sume “.2 ‘to torpedo I hostile ship.

There are mum: maneuvres by means of which a ship lean trick a submarine. Several Ttsr., ; eels have diverted torpedoes by s“ imp ,ing round their stern until it point, fin the direction of the under-twa craft. In this way the wash of the propellors has defUeted the torpel from his course, and it has spud hamlessly past its: mark. Another successful ruse is to stoke up furnaces of a ship chased by s submarine and thick block smoke belches trom it, funnels and envelopes the vessel in a protective shroud. In this wey the submerine gunners are confused, and cannot perceive the correct direction in which to send their torpedo.
