CHAPTER XIV.

So there ensued a great and notable race
along that noble highway which to this day
stretches from the Ferry of the Stakes &c
the gates OF Castle Cover. At first the
road was happily mostly level and we few
like the wind-Rupert's fiery black stretch
ing himself out like a greyhound coursing
He was a noble beast and though spirited
exceedingly docile. But that night the de-
mon was abroad. and Bravo, instead Of set
Ting down TO his work, threw his head high
and capered like a still inhibited yearling
on the spring pastures.
Nor did the behavior OF my brother mend
matters. He stood up in his stirrups shout.
ing taunts at me over his shoulders. The
coarser mood Of the first night at Drum
fern seemed to have returned upon him.
The quiet irony Of the change-house had
passed and he grew loud and boisterous.
My brother spoke truth. / rode not i'll
II is no source OF pride to me this day,

much ~other-but the accomplishment (such
as II was) certainly stood me In good
stead. / shall never forget the rushing

Ing tempest. though I have since been told
that the wine was still and that sounds
such as that OF our tumultuous passage
could be heard at a great distance.
Rupert set the spurs freely TO the sides
Of Bravo, so that the blood ran along the
rowel to the very boot. Peden. on the
other hand, was never touched. I carried
neither whip nor spur, but only urged him
with my unarmed heel and with the loose
rein laid on his neck. And the poor brute
seemed TO understand what he was to do,
and, though he could never get within 100
yards Of Bravo and his wild rider, he still
stuck grimly to his work and not once did
l lose sight Of my brother.
Almost as soon as We had left the change
house there leaped up in my mind one spot
on the shoreward road that haunted me like
the actual specter Of fear. The military
road had been carried over partly the line
taken by another and an older road made
in the days when sharp turns and steep
descepts were less carefully avoided than
they are by modern road engineers.
1t was a spot called the Green Dock

skirts Of my fathers property where the

He nodded and smiled as II he had ex-

trude upon him at that lonely house and
in the middle Of a winters night-looking

was something Of almost demoniac self
possession during these last days about my
brother Rupert.
"Ah, reverend SIR" he said, speaking
wholly without anger or surprise, indeed
lightly and carelessly, ''what brings you so
far from home on such a night2 And on
the Sabbath day, too! A poor lost soul like

cover him with confusion, but again l was
mistaken. He did not even deny the charge
as a weaker man would have done.

The Green Dock might never nave ex-
listed but for a piece of obstinacy on my
fathers part, who, having a little seldom
used lodge gate 100 yards or so on the
south, had refused either to permit his
avenue to be shortened or to pull down the
lodge that the road might pass straight
across. Moreover. being Of great authority
on the board OF the commissioner Of sup
ply for the county he had carried his
point in the face OF engineers and sur
veyors and the all-powerful roads and
bridges committee itself.
But a few steps from the bridge at the
bottom of the Dock he had made a wicket
gate, and from thence a path led through
the plantations and strawberries to the Great
House-a road which in past days was often
chosen by Rupert and myself because In
this way we could cave the grounds OF
Castle Cover practically without ever show
ing ourselves in the open.

LOEB BUT HALF WAY
British Scientist on the Life-PrO.
longing Theory.

London, Jan. 3.-Prof. Startling, pro-
fessor of physiology at the University
College of Nerve Specialists, being asked
concerning the discoveries of Prof Loeb,
said
Professor Loeb is man whose opinion is
worthy of respect, for he has accomplished
great work in physiology. AS to this partic,,-
lar theory think little; it was a jump, in the
dark, one of innumerable theories on the
same subject made up partly Of a number of
views already known to the world. The living
cell or unit is a brick wall which Psychologists
have been unable to see through. We can
tell what goes outside the cell, but nc
more. Professor Loeb's theory is an at
tempt to see through the wall. One difficulty
about this living thing is that it not only
goes down, but up; it, breaks down, then
RECEIVERS itself, and theories like Loeb's ex-
plain half the process, the breakdown but
fail to explain the recovery. The real problem
is the power of building up after breaking
down. If Loebs theory be partly true it
only explains part, the less important part
Of the secret Of living cells This marks an
advance, but not an epoch. IL

Clinton, Iowa, Jan. 81. L. White, a
st. Louis travelling man, while at hotel
in this city, saw his wife seated at the
dining table with J. L. Jordan, a Chicago
drummer. Going to the hotel register he
saw written there the name of J. L. Jor-
dan and wife. White was so enraged that
he told the landlord to call for the police,
otherwise he would kill Jordan.
The chief of police was summoned, but
refused to arrest Jordan unless he also
had warrant for the woman. White OBJ
jected to this and said he would settle
with Jordan He found the two in the
parlor and administered such beating
that it was necessary for a physician tc
work for an hour over the injured man.
White said he did not blame his wife

fist and had her under his evil influence

St. Louis, Jan. 81. e. Green of this
city has presented Director Of Works
Taylor of the worlds fair the plans and
specifications for an air ship, the original
drawings Of which he claims were stolen
from him nearly ten years ago by
Frenchman and taken to France, where
he now claims they have been reproduced
in the dirigible air craft made famous by
M. Santos-Dum
Mr.. Green. who has been resident OF
the city for many years, says he is the
inventor of the principle which has been
used by the daring Brazilian in his flights
around the Eiffel tower. He has requested
Director Taylor to inspect his models
and drawings with a view to building and
equipping an air ship for experiments at
the worlds fair.
Several years ago the Green invention
was written about in st. Louis news
paper. This was before the Santos-Du-
mont achievement had been given to the
world. Mr.. Green exhibited the neWspa-
per account Of his discovery to the direc-
tor of works. 1t contained an illustration
of the Green air ship, which is lifted into
space by horizontal propellers attached
to the side of the passenger car, which is
swung under the cigar shaped balloon.
Propellers at either end of the balloon
drive it on it's lateral flights. Similar
propellers are fastened to the ends of the
passenger car. >".E .
The resemblance to the photograph of
the Santos Dumont, No. III, are suffi-

claims made by Mr.. Green. He points out
that the Brazilian inventor has failed to
keep his dirigible machine in the air
against any strong current. The St. Louis
inventor says that in this respect he is
ahead Of the, Partisan dreamer Green S
scheme is to manufacture the gas for his
balloon out of the elements Of the atmos-

GERM SUICIDE

: Chicago, Jan. S.-According to bac-

Naturalists, some kinds of germs have
such an antipathy for water that they &C

AT the meeting of the society it was pro
claimed as an established fact that water
is in itself an agent deadly to many kinds
of germs and that milk also has destruc-
tive attributes within itself: The lnforma-
ton was brought out by Professor H. L.

who read a paper on 1.-THE Toxicity OF
