John Saxton Suggests a Clue.

Wheaton sat in his room at The
Bachelors the next evening. clutching
copy OF a Gazette extra in which few
sentences under long headlines gave the
latest rumor about mysterious disappear
arce of Grant Porter. Within fortnight
he had received several warnings from his
brother marking his itinerary eastward.
Snyder was evidently moving with fixed
purpose; and. as Wheaton had received
brief notes from him couched in phrases
OF amiable irony postmarked Denver, and

Electricity in Steel Making.

From the Scientific American.
In any summary of the causes of our
success In steel manufacture great stress
must be laid upon the early and multiplied
adaptation of electricity motive power
ir the thousand and one uses to which it
has lent itself so admirably. Among other
applicat ions that come to mind there are
the overhead travelling electric crane; the
electric charging machine that picks up
box containing ton of mixture. thrusts it
into the furnace, emptieS and withdraws it;
the electric conveyer; the electric elevator
for loading the blast furnaces: the electric
buggies that receive the heated ingot after
it has been lifted from the soaking pits
and run it down to the mill; electric ma
chimes for pushing the blooms in at one
end of the furnace, and electric tongs for
gripping them and pulling them out at the
other end. These are few of the uses of
electricity, to say nothing of pneumatic
and hydraulic power that, conformity with
simlav exhibitions of ingenuity forethought
and administrative skill in mine, ship and
railroad have enabled our manufacturers
to sell three pounds of steel for two cents
while paying the highest wages in the
world to labor and returning the princelest
OF fortunes to capital.

line of reflection; the other hand the
time for dealing with his brother in
spirit of tolerant philanthropy was now
past. He was face to face with the crucial
moment where conceal nent involved COM
plicity In crime. His duty lay clear be-
fore him-his duty to his friends, the
Porters-to the woman whom he knew he
loved. Was he equal to It? If Snyder were
caught he would be sure to take revenge
on him; and Wheaton knew that no matter
how guitless he might show himself in the
eyes of the world, his career would be at
an end; he could not live in Clarkson,
Evelyn Porter would never see him again.
The Gazette stated that district tele-
graph messenger had left at MIR. Porter's
door note which named the terms
which Grant could be ransomed. The
amount was large-more money than James
Wheaton possessed; 1t was not a great deal
for William Porter to pay. 1t had already
occurred to Wheaton that he might pay the
raj som himself and carry the boy home,
thus establishing forever claim upon the
Porters. He quickly dismissed this; the
risks of exposure were too great. He
smoked a cigarette as he turned all these
matters over In his mind. Clearly the best
thing to do was to let the climax come.
His brother was criminal with record
who would not find 1t easy to drag him
into the mire. His own career and position
in ClarkSon were unassailable Very likely
the boy would be found quickly and the in
cident would close with Snyder's sentence to
a long Imprisonment By the time the China
man called him to dinner he able to
view the case calmly. He would face IL out
no matter what happened; and the more he
thought of 1t the likelier 1t seemed that
Snyder had overleaped himself and would
soon be where he could no longer be
menace.
He went down to dinner late in the
clothes that he had worn at the bank all
day. and thus brought upon himself the
banter of Caldwell, the Transcontinental
agent. who sang out as he entered the din
| ing room door:
What's the matter. Wheaton? Sold or
pawned your other clothes?'
Wheaton smiled wanly.
"Only little tired" he said.
Come on now and give us the real truth
about the kidnapping said Caldwell with
| cheerful interest. You'd better watch the

Most of the current works of fiction are
l am sure compounded like prescriptions or
cookery recipes. Take an absolutely trite
situation, such as that of girl attracting a
man of the world who has had a pasta

connected with the drama, or more prob
ably married woman who is the intimate

millionaire, society woman careless Of
conventions, half a dozen people who say
coarse things under the delusion that they
are witty, add an American with inperti-
nent views on our effete business capaci-
ties, and serve up in London drawing
rooms country mansions, yachts and Monte
Carlo. The great aim is to include one big
risky scene in order to make the book sell,
and to take the principal characters from
real life, making their identity sufficiently
obvious to be recognized by people who
have never even met them. This sort of
book bores one even more than the fog or
ones friends. 1t produces ennui worse
than that resulting from constant associ-
alton with people one rather likes.

left the ROOM and the men who fingered
over their cigars heard the outer door close

He felt easier when he got out into the
cool night air. His day at the bank had
been one long horror; but the clang of the
cars. the lights in the streets, gave him
contact with life again. He must hasten to
offer his services to the Porters, though he
knew that every means of assistance had
been employed, and that there was nothing
to do but to make inquiries He grew un-
easy as his car neared the house, and he
climbed the slope of the hill like one who

him with forebodings now. If Porter had
not been i'll, there would never have been

be kidnapped. 1t seemed to him that the

While Wheaton swayed between fear and
hope, the community was athril with eX-
element The probable fate Of the missing
boy was the subject of anxious debate in
every home in GARRISON and the whole
country eagerly awaited further news of the
kidnapping. Raridan and Saxton hearing
early of the boys disappearance had at
once placed every known agency at work to
find him. Not satisfied with the local police
they had summoned detectives from Chi
cago. and these We're already at work. Re
wards for the boys return were telegra phed
in every direction. The only clue was the
slight testimony # Mrs. Whipple. She had
told and re-told her story to detectives and
reporters. There was only too little to tell.
Grant had walked with her to the car Shs

Every other man in Clarkson had turn
