dreamer of day-dreams is delirious and takes no note of facial contortions. There was evident anxiety on his part to treat the matter humorously, | but Mrs. Rothstone was not easily de- ceived. She detected a stronge, unna- l tural tone in her husbands voice which l increased her forebodings. He per ceived that he must pursue different course if he would soothe her over strung nerves.
 Berating his stupidity, he closed the window. thus shutting out the baleful i, glare; then, taking his wife by the hand, he led her from the darkened library into a cosy sitting room. As she sank down amid the cushions of a luxurious rocker. he seated himself di- rectly opposite, and, leaning forward, placed his hands on the side of her chair His manner was now perfectly natural.
 "I believe" he said, gazing at her intently .and speaking slowly. that the great opportunity of lifetime is about to arrive. You are fully acquainted with all my vagaries. my dear little woman. But for you I would have cast aside my life's ambition long ago. There have been times when I longcd to flee from the pitiless satire of the scientific world. so-called. Now 1t is all over. Success is ours and we can defy the world of pseudo-scientists." He threw his head back proudly and there was ring of triumph in his voice.
 Have you discovered the long sought-for element?" she questioned | eagerly. beginning to partake some what of his enthusiasm.
 "No," he answered reluctantly, but conditions are mora fnvora hIe now fha n at any previous time since I began the search twenty years ago. During the | past ten days I have been noting the chart more intently than usual. There have been unheard of changes in the phenomena of the earth's atmosphere | If my forecast Is not at fault, still greater changes will occur within the next forty eight hours. The terrestrial atmosphere will be brought within the range of attraction of certain cosmical influences that may never obtain | again."

Professor Rothstone was on the eve of a great discovery-a discovery that was to overturn many universally ac- cepted theories concerning certain physical laws. Just now, however. his fine countenance betrayed unmistaka- ble evidence of bitter disappointment. With hands firmly clenched behind his back. he paced to and fro in his iapora- tory.
 As previously stated he had been en- gagged for many years in conducting n series of delicate and intricate expert ments, always with the almost positive conviction of discovering new ana valuable element. As the clock in a near factory announced the midnight hour. he awoke from his second rev erie, threw aside his morbid air ana once more became the man of science alert and keenly alive to the great op- portunity that seemed to be almost within his grasp. He looked over and beyond the high climbing hills" of disappointment and knew in his soul that success would come. All night he toiled necessarily He felt glow upon his cheek and there was an uu- usual lustre in his eye.
 As one by one each intricate step in | the problem was reached and solved he | felt the warm blood bounding through every vein and there was ever increas- | ing mental elation. His mind was abso- lutely absorbed in the task set before | him, in his inner consciousness there | was the knowledge that he was com plete master of himself and tho ele. ments grouped about him.
 A blood-red sun shot beam athwart
 his window. giving him the first inti-
 nation of days approach. With his
 mind held in perfect abeyance at a certain point he arose closed the
 blinds of the window and resumed hIs

PART I.

PART l.
 About o'clock Thursday afternoon, October 18th, 19-, Professor Rothstone sat near an open window consulting weather chart. There was a time when hc would have given 1t no more than a cursory glance. On this occasion, however, the squirming isobars and isotherms revealed to the delver in meteorology 2 story of ruin, havoc and death.
 Mrs Rothstone entering the room suddenly and noting the expression of combined agony and horror depicted on her husbands countenance, paused ab- ruptly, bereft for the moment of speech and motion.
 A portion of the room was shrouded in darkness, but through the open win dow there came weird, shifting light which falling upon the Professors rigid features gave to them a ghastly appearance.
 The index finger, pressed spasmodic ally upon the printed page, the relax ed under jaw, the eyes staring vacant ly at a point beyond the edge of the chart all betokened a state of profound abstraction.
 As he stood thus, totally oblivious to his surroundings, his thoughts flew
 
 over forest, over stream, over gulf. until they reached the Great Waste of Waters, the home of the Storm Fiend.
 The voice of the Fiend was a hoarse sounding roar that crashed up from the caverns of the great deep. but his millions of atomic minions knew how to interpret that roar, and proceeded quickly to do their masters bidding.

 The Professor started violently and struck the table with his clenched fist. My God" he groaned. "I may succeed. but at what a sacrifice"
 The sound of his impassioned voice broke the spell and Mrs Rothstone came out of the shadow frightened and trembling.
 Edward" she clung to him nervous ly as she spoke, T never saw such an expression on your face before. It has completely unnerved me. What horri- ble thing has happened?"
 'I know" she continued almost hys- terically. that an awful fate awaits one. or both of us"
 Though no longer young. Professor and Mrs. Rothstone were lovers still He placed an arm about her trembling form and gently stroked the hair from her forehead.
 Pardon me for making a scarecrow of myself" he said. T was indulging in fanciful musings and my subcon- scious self failed to observe the pro- prieties. You must remember that the

Good Detective Work.

The three men arrested at the
Leland hotel Saturday morning
by Officer Kimball say nothing
regarding their predicament.
They evidently have been in iail
before. When anyone comes near
them they hang their heads as
tho they were afraid someone
would get a good square look at
them. An effort will be made to
get their pictures, as it may be
possible that they will be wanted
elsewhere. Officer kimball and
the Great Northern policeman,
Griffeth, did some good detective
work in locating the men. The
freight train was watched as it
came in from Rugby, but the
highwaymen gave the officers the
slip and walked up town ordering
meals at the Combs restaurant,
The officers were clad as working
men and they also entered the
restaurant and began throwing
dice, to ward off suspicion. In
that manner they were able to
follow them to the hotel.

was attracted by the animal,
which climbed the telephone
poles, and performed all sorts Of
queer pranks. The bear is more
than half grown, but does not
seem vicious to any degree.

playing before Yale people every night
this week, to those who enjoy good

On Monday night the company play

a Correction.

The article referred to below was
clipped from the Port Huron Times
and it was intended that credit should
be given that paper, but in some way
it was omitted.
We supposed of course that the pur-
port of the article to be correct or we
should not have published it and we
hereby wish to set ourselves right and
to correct any wrong impression given,
by publishing the following from Mr..
HERBERT
EDITOR OF YALE EXPosIToR:-
Will you please correct the state
ments made in the article in Expositor
of August Goth, in reference to the
estate of Thomas Carless deceased. In
that article the statement is made that
some of the heirs are objecting to the
widow receiving her one-third of the
property. This gives wrong impress
sion for there are none of the heirs
who object to the widow receiving
whatever the law allows her. 1t seems
to me that if peoples private matters
are to be made matters of public news
care should be taken that no more than
the honest facts be given.
Yours respectfully,
NORMAN b. HERBERT,
Administrator of Estate.
