greater force than many cannon ball
fired in battles which have made his.
tory. Time after time the splendid
structure WINGED beneath the blow.
If stephen Brand were ever fatcd to
know fear he was face to face with the
ugly phantom then. The granite col
umn would not yield, but it was quite
within the bounds of possibility that
the entire lantern might be carried
away and he with it.
He thought, with a catching of his
breath of the two girls in the tiny
room beneath. For one flecting instant
his mortal eyes gazed into the unseen.
But the call of duty restored him. The
excessive draft affected the lamp.
Its ardor must be checked. With Il
steady hand he readjustcd the little
brass scrcws-they were so superbly
Indifferent to all this pandemonium-
lust little brass screws, doing their
work and needing naught beside. Sud
denly there came to him the trium-
phant knowledge that the pure white
beam of the light was hewing its path
through the savage assailant without
as calmly and fearlessly as it lit up
the ocean wilds on midsummer night
of moonlight and soft zephyrs.
"Thank God for that!' he murmured
aloud. How can man die better
than at his postT'

ears. He turned from the lamp. Con-
stance appeared, pale, with shining
eyes. She carried the lantern. Behind
her crept Enid, who had been crying.
She strove now to check her tears.
"Is this sort OF thing normal, or a
special performance arranged for our
benefitT" said his daughter, with fine
attempt at n smile.
"Oh, dad. | am so frightened"' cried
Enid. "Why does it howl so!'
