The United States is about to go tc
war with foreign nation. The EN-
ployes of the government power sta.
tion which supplied Washington and
New York with electricity for light,
heat and power are expecting orders
to supply heavier current Atsins. an
electrician at the station obtains leave
to place an invention of his before the
head of the United States Army at
Washington. He obtains an interview
with the General who is favorably i'm
pressed with the annihilating appara-
tus and gives directions for it's install
lation under the supervision of It's in
yentor.
Chapter III
To the surprise of the nation, Con-
gress held back during the day, a mar
row fringe of conservative members
standing between the country and
war. The news service, which had
picked up again and was voluminous
and detailed once more, still carried
the prediction that war was inevitable
and could be only delayed.
Meanwhile the stolid helplessness t
the War Department, which had blan-
keted even the energetic efforts of the
department chiefs to do the best they
could at the eleventh hour, had give
away to feverish activity extending
even to departments unaware of tn
purpose.
Atsins had taken a fast express ship
back to Susquehanna, returning at top
speed with the concentrator, the plans
of which he had shown Shod and Mon
trus, and which, many months before,
he had constructed.
Shod had his orders regarding
power, orders which carried a sig
nificance to him but to none other at
the power station.
At No. 10 Sending Station, Atsins.
with an army of electricians and
mechanics under him. worked at nerve
racking speed during the day. Mon
trus, possessed by devil of i'm
patience, foreboding, and fear, could
not contain himself either in the office
or ut the station.
The work progressed: the death
dealing concentrator went into place;

Longest Climb In The World.

Imagine making the ascent of Mount
Washington by means of staircase.
But feat akin to this many travellers
in China have accomplished In going
to the top Of the holy mountain, some
six thousand feet above Taingan-fu.
The road leading to It is the best in all
the Kingdom. About mile north of
the city walls stands large gate amid
the ruins OF once flourishing suburb.
Leading from this gate the road Is
lined with temples, converts and
shrines. where pilgrims stop to pray II
they are fortunate enough to rid them
selves of the hordes of beggars.
Where the real ascent begins there
is stone portal which Is inscribed
with the fact that here the great Con-
fucius halted 1900 years ago. not hav-
ing the strength to ascend the six
thousand stone steps leading to the
top. These Taischan stairs are by far
the highest In the world, for, taking
the number OF steps In one story OF an
ordinary house to be twenty. the mum
Der of Taischan steps equals three
hundred stories. The coolies Will carry
pilgrim up the stairs and back. dis
tance of twice sixteen miles, TO-. thirty
cents-fifteen cents for each coolie.
When the ascent Is made one finds
himself upon large plateau, which is
covered with numerous temples and
stone monuments. The main temple is
that of the holy mother. consisting OF
several buildings surrounded by a
stone wall. The several courts are
adorned with magnificent statues and
monuments OF bronze. with huge
statue OF the holy mother on the altar
These doors are opened once only
each year. when an imperial commits
sion comes to collect the money oher-
ings OF the pilgrims. BY means OF a
substantial "tip" the guard may be In.
duced to push the bar of the main
gate aside. so that one may have
glimpse within. The floor Of this
large temple is usually filled with a
heap of coins Of every description,
size. and value. probably represent
ing $4,000 In American currency.
The money is divided among the con
vents and beggars OF the holy noun
tain. but the largest share goes In
to the pockets Of that cntcrprisini
lady. the Dowager Empress.

Before they could step out of the
door, messenger came in.
Curtis reports" he said. 'The fleet
has left Kiel. He will send location" !"
'Tell Curtis" said Montrus speaking
low-voiced, that the outcome of this
war depends on him. We want the To-
cation. We must have it. If he can
send electrographs, send them; but
first the location"
With Atsins, he walked out into the
night, The sky was black. The air
was heavy and wet. A gentle drizzle
was starting.
The two men took a few deep
breaths. and then turned to each other.
Neither spoke, but each held out his
hand. One close grasp, and they
parted, Atsins for the sending station,
Montrus for the tower

At another televue he got Atsins at

There they also had duplicate of
Curtis message giving the longitude
and latitude of the hostile fleet.

Night had come and was advancing.
Still Congress held to its tense debate.
Ten o'clock came; and Atsins sought
Montrus, finding him nervously pacing
back and forth In his Office. The young
electrician was calm and charged with
quiet confidence.
