she said in English, in low faltering
tone
"To confess to you, Godfrey, will cause
you to hate, ah even to curse me. After
today 1 fear we shall part never again to
meet"
"No. no." cried. advancing to take
her soft hand in mine. "Tell me your
secret. Then let us hear what Sonia has
to reveal"
"Ah mine is wretched horrible story
of duplicity," my wife faltered, standing
in an attitude of deep detection. Al
though [ am Grand Duchess, the bearer
of an Imperial name, l can hope for
neither pity nor mercy from you, or from
the world outside.
'Why?'
"Because 1 have foully deceived you
l am a spy r.
you mean?''
"Listen; will tell you,'' she answered,
in a hard strained voice, swaying slowly
forward and clutching at tho table for
support "Three years ago, when my
mother, the Grand Duchess Nicholas, was
still alive, We were spending some
months as usual at our winter villa that
faced the Mediterranean at St. Eugene,
close to Algiers and my mother engaged
as valet de chambre an Englishman.
soon this man grew, I suppose, to adj
mire me. He pestered me with hateful
attentions, and at last had the audacity
to declare his love. AS may be readily
imagined, I scornfully rejected him,
treated him with contempt, and finding
that he still continued his protestations,
meeting me when went for walks along
the sea -road to Algiers. or under the
palms and orange-groves in the Jardin
Marengo, one day. in fit of ill-temper,
disclosed to my mother the whole of the
circuu stances. The fellow was at once
discharged. but before he left for Europe
he wrote me letter full of bitter re-
proach, and expressed his determination
to some day wreak vengeance upon me,
as well as upon young Englishman
whom he suspected that loved. His sus-
! picions, however, were entirely unbound
ed. I, known at home and throughout
all our family by the pet name Of
'Icherno -okaya,' or Sparkling Eyes, q
nickname taken from our Russian poet
Lermontoff, had met this young English
man quite casually when one day passing
through the Kasbah was insulted by
two half-drunken Arabs, and he had
escorted me home. Then, when we parted
he had told me that he was staying at
| the Hotel de la Kegence, opposite the
great white mosque, and gave me his
name. 1t was Dudley Ogle."

A colorless liquid prepared from acetate
Vi Iline, GaLeu acetone, is used as a sol

metnod OF preparing the explosive is:
Inc required proportion of nitro-glyce
rine is poured over the eun-cotton land

| Vaseline is then added and the whole

is represented by a fraction whose mn.

the diameter of the die through which
the cordite has been pressed, its denomi
nator being the length of the stick in in.
| ches. The cordite known as 3O.l2. which
| is the size used for the 6-inch quick tiripe
guns, signifies that lite diameter is three
tenths of an inch and it is twelve inche s
| long.
1t is necessary to use a fine grain pow.
| der to ignite a charge of cordite, it being
secured in such manner that a flash
| from the tube firing the gun will cause
the explosion of the charge. A full charge
of powder for a 12-inch gun is 295 pounds,
while the cordite charge having the same
efficiency is only 1877 1-2 pounds.
The wonderful stride made in the sci
ence of gunnery since 1910 is shown by
the fact that at that period d eS-pound
projectile fired with a charge of Is pounds
of powder gave a muzzle velocity of be-
tween / 200 and 100 feet second, while
| at the present day 100-pound she'll, fired
with IA "a pounds of cordite, gives a
muzzle velocity of 1880 feet second
Cordite is one of the safest explosives
known, and is not dangerous unless it is
confined. 1t can be held in the hand and
lighted without danger. 1t burns slowly
and with a bright flame. Although
comparatively new discovery, it is used
extensively in every navy throughout the
world. 1t was manufactured first in
Great Britain and was in general use on
her battleships before adopted by other
Powers.
