the great crises of existence throb across

expression and chose her words SO We'll
that she soon led my rambling fancy back
to the sufficiently bewildering climax OF
her own adventure.
Mother has left out what you might
call a predisposing influence she sa1d'

agonic liner"

a chord drawn with nerve-thrilling effect
from her own beloved violin. Anyhow,
he took up the parable.

running generally north and SOUTH
which marks those parts of the earth S
surface where the magnetic needle points
to the true north. There are three of
them, and they are slowly changing their
positions" he said.
Thank YOU l could not have explained
it so clearly" smiled Maggie, though she
persistent1y averted her eyes. ''Well, in
the morning, the chief officer had been
telling me things about the deviation OF
the COrnDaSS the ir1DOrtanCe of the a0OnIC

parts of the globe, and the great value
to sailors of a recent discovery that at a
certain point in front of the fOremast the
compass ceases to be affected by the
polarization which is set up in all iron

Ting! Some tiny nerve-be11 jing1ed in
my head. Polarization! Karl and |
exchanged looks. We had rapidly made
the same calculation. Allowing for diff
ference of sun-time, Miss Margaret's dis
turbing dream-vision, whatever it dis
closed, must have been exactly con-
temporaneous with Karl's poker-juggling
in the Mitre Hotel

Hutchinson, whose shrewd Scottish eyes
were quick to detect the secret tele-
graphy between the others, for Maggie
flushed most charmingly again, and We
three established a circuit of intelligence.

Here was true midsummer madness, if
ever the dog-days' frolic gamboled within
the bounds of staid London. And what
wild jostling of ideas, apparently re-
mote as the poles, contributed to the
medley!-agonic lines, polarization of

Yet what did it all mean? Karl. to my
own knowledge, had not despatched his
tclegnoU1iC sense on rowing commission
that Sunday afternoon at OXford. He
had subjected a poker to what he termed

to illustrate his unimpaired bodily and
mental vigor when | expressed some

be no doubt, my dear, that something
extraordinary did occur.
