The children caught hold OF tle ropes

progressed the difficulty OF closing air
leaks with sufficient speed led 10 the
use Of a pilot tunnel at the heading.
This consisted of a ffve-foot iron
tube. which was carried forward on the
line Of the axis Of the tunnel into the
material ahead. This tube was used
as centre from which struts were
carried out radially TO support the sur-
rounding wall Of the tunnel and pre-

became jammed, anu twenty OF the work
men were caught before they could get

Work was carried on with more or less

CHAPTER II.
Concerns a Silent Secret.


That same afternoon, while Charlie
Rolfe was bidding farewell to his sister
Marion. Max Barclay was sitting in the
cosy study of one OF the smaller houses
in Cromwell road. smoking cigarettes
with a thin-faced, gray-haired. gray
bearded man whose cast Of features at
once betrayed him to be a foreigner.
The well-furnished room was the typl-
cal den Of a studious man. as its owner
really was, for about it was an air OF
solid comfort, while upon the floor near
where the elder man was lying back in
his leather easy chair were scattered
some newspapers with headings in un-
familiar type-the Greek alphabet.
The air was thick with cigarette smoke,
giving forth an aroma unusual to Eng
lish nostrils-that pleasant aroma peculiar
TO Servian tobacco.
The younger man, dressed in well-fit-
ting. dark gray fiannels. his long legs
sprawIed out as he lay back in his chair
taking his ease and gossiping with his
friend, was. without doubt, a handsome
fellow. Tall beyond the average ran of
men, with 1.-the, clean-cut limbs, smart

and small dark mustache which had an
upward trend, his air was distinctly mil
itary. Indeed, until few months be-
fore he bad held a commission In a cav
airy regiment. but had resigned on ac-
count OF the death OF his father and his
consequent succession TO the wide and
unencumbered Barclay estates in Lincoln

Completing the Hudson Tunnel.

For the beginnings Of the present
enterprise we must go back nearly
thirty-four years, to the year 1874.

River from Jersey TO the Manhattan
shore In that year De Witt Clinton

The shaft terminated In an enlarged
chamber. from which the heading of
the two parallel tunnels were started
on an easy down grade toward their
deepest level, which lies-in the prox-
unity Of the Manhattan shore. Another
shaft was sunk on the New York side
near the bulkhead line, at the foot Of
Morton street. the distance between
the TWO shafts being stbout 800 feet.

A FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST
Gives Advice to Women Lacking in
Energy and Vitality

Thousands of women are using
toilet preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their
thick, muddy compilations or to
Danish the pimples, blackheads and
crows feet.
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have bad
blood, and bad blood in 80 per cent
OF the cases arises from inflamma-
ton of the mucous membrane Their
blood is filled with poison which is
certain to break out in unsightly
humors and blotches-while pale,
drawn faces. deep cireled eyes,
STOPPING shoulders and weak backs
complete the story of suffering and
despair.
Inflammation of the mucous
membrane is catarrh. Danish catarrh
and compilations will clear as if by
magic, pain vanish, eyes will brigh-
ten, faces become plump and Shout
ders erect. Perfect beauty goes only
with perfect health, and perfect
health for women can only be OBJ
tanned through Rexall Mucu-Tone,
the one positive and permanent cure
for catarrh.
Nine. Swift, A w. 26th ST., New
York City, the most famous beauty
specialist in the world and an ac-
cepted authority on all relating
thereto, has this to say of Mucu-
Tone:
II can strongly endorse the
claims made for Rexall Mucu-Tone
as a cure for systemic catarrh. It's
tonic effects are remarkable. It
builds up the strength and restores
vitality. If women who are tired and
run down, lacking In energy and vi
tally, will use Mucu-Tone, they
will praise 1t as do for its strength
ening and healing qualities.
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, and acting directly upon
the muco-cells-the congestion and
inflammation of which are the sole
cause OF catarrh-causes them to
expel the poison and to resume their
natural functions. Thus the men,
branes are cleansed-the blood
purified and revitalized.
We know that Rexall Mucu-
Tone will cure every form of catarrh
no matter where located, OF how
long standing, or by what other
names it is known. We guarantee to
refund your money II you are not
satisfied with the vigorous health
and clear complexion it brings you.
