Hendricks unlocked a side gate, went

no lights in any of the windows, and
when the door opened on it's creaking
hinges the absolute darkness within was
an additional surprise.

door. "Sta1d here and wait for Mr.. Kola.

his friend and drew him down what
seemed to be dark hall. AS they
moved along Lampkin heard the mass
i've door close with little puff of es-
Gaping air, and then, as all sound from
the outside was instantly excluded, he
knew that the doors and windows had
been purposely padded.
DR.. Lampkin heard Hendricks sliding
his fingers along the wall for about 90
feet. Then they paused. Hendricks took
hold of the knob of door and opened
it soundlessIy, and when they had
passed through it closed softly into it's
padded frame.
"Now we are all hunky dory," re-
marked Hendricks. 'Stand where you
are. I've got to get you into another
disguise. They must not recognize us
as the two old dodgers they saw at Nine.
Kingsley 81 mean in case a light
should be struck. I don't know Kola's

Hendricks stopped and began to feel
about on the floor. ''Here we arep' he
exclaimed presently. ''Take off that

DR.. Lampkin obeyed as we'll as he
could in the darkness.
"Where in thunder are we?'' he asked

it to his friend.

the manifestation. Have you got the
rig on? Can you find the eye holes?''
I'm all right and a great deal

can witness not only the show, but can
see the spectators. Sill I hear some
thing. 1t was a key in the door,. -
Lampkin heard Hendricks feet slid

away in the darkness. Then the roar of
the city sounded through the house,
and he knew the front door was open.

"No," answered the doctor.
''Do you believe in their SO called
supernatural powers?"
Dr. Lampkin reflected.

much more deeply versed in psychology

''Kola is a MARVEL said Hendricks.

Capt. Hawley, in charge of the nav
igation bureau, is now directing the
work of his office to the issuance of
death certificates to the families of
the dead sailors. These certificates
are conclusive evidence upon the au-
ditors of the treasury department,
who are thereby obliged to pay over
to the legal representatives or heirs
of the deceased, any sums of money
that may be due them by the United
States.
In the case of victims of the Maine
disaster the department is obliged in
many cases to certify to the death of
the sailors without being able to Sc
cure evidence of that fact through
the presence of body. 1t is assumed
by the officials that man failing to
report, persisted in the catastrophe.
