save them, after all. She saw Miss
Peabody drop the steering wheel and
throw her arms about Winthrope's
neck. Winthrope tried desperately to
disengage her hands and to reach the
wheel, but without avail. Miss Forbes
saw that the car was headed for the
river, and again she closed her eyes.
In a moment the car seemed to leave
the earth and soar into the air. Then
came the sound of a huge splash as It
struck the water. Icy cold water en-
veloped Miss Forbes.
To Miss Forbes surprise she did not
lose consciousness. She fought desper-
ately TO reach the surface, and as she
fought she wondered. oddly enough,
what Winthrope and Miss Peabody
were doing. She wondered IL Miss
Peabody still had her arms about Win.
tbrope's neck, and even then she felt
pang Of jealousy.
Finally Miss Forbes got her head
above water. and then. to her further
surprise, she did not sink. In mo.
ment more she realized that she was
standing on a seat In the tonneau and
that her head was above water. She
glanced about. In front OF her were
Winthrope and Miss Peabody. The
latter still had her arms about Win
thrope's neck. and Miss Forbes saw
that she had tainted.
Winthrope caught sight of the girl.

she told herself.
"Can you wait until take Miss Pea
body to the shore?" winthrope cried.
Miss Forbes nodded. She watched
him strike out with strong, sturdy
strokes, and her heart thrilled at the
sight. Well might Miss Peabody or
any one else be proud Of such a man.
In a short time winthrope had reached
the shore and deposited the still form
Of Miss Peabody on the ground. Then
he plunged into the water.
"You aren't frightened. are your

Miss Forbes noticed that the mans
face was thin and drawn. His hands
trembled as he caught her from the
seat.
When they had reached the shore
Miss Forbes eyes fell upon her mis-
tress. Miss Forbes watched her face
brighten as her eyes fell upon Win
thrope. She extended her hands to-
ward him.
"My herow she murtnured softly.

By introducing number Of vibrat-
ors, each corresponding to a given
pitch, an airship or torpedo may be
controlled in its movements by sounds
conveyed through the air or water.
Sounds conveyed through water are
much more effectively transmitted
than through air, and a submarine
or surface boat can thus be controlled
at farther distance than can an air
ship.

that he really was in love with Miss
Peabody? For some time she had
thought that his attentions to her mis-
tress were more assiduous than was
actually necessary. 1t was with a view
to finding out his real state of feeling
that she had made the suggestion as
TO his love affair.
"Of course I'm notw declared Win
thrope savagely as he jerked the steer

"Oh. you don't need TO say that" re-
piled Miss Forbes. "I'll not tell any
one about your affinity. You might
confide In me. We're good friends,
aren't weT'
"Yes. good friends" Winthrope an
swered shortly.
Again Miss Forbes felt sinking at
the heart. So they were nothing more
than friends!
"Of course" she went on. "it does
seem rather presumptuous Of you to
aspire so high, but stranger things
have happened. I've often thought
that is. II has seemed to me that she
has looked on you and talked to you

I wish you all the luck in the world.

the rest of his sentence was lost In the
grinding Of the gears as he viciously
pulled the car TO a stop. Miss Pea

"T'll sit in front with John" Miss
Peabody announced brightly as the car
drew up. 81 want him to give me a
final lesson in driving the car"
AS Miss Forbes reluctantly climbed
from her seat In front and made her
way into the tonneau she felt dis

gladly welcomed the change. To her
II appeared that his hand rested al
most too caressingly on Miss Peabody's
hand as he aided her In guiding the
huge car through the streets: that his
glance was almost too noticeably ten

her. Miss Forbes sighed.
The car sped through the streets and
In a short time reached the country

Forbes wished that she were having
80 good time.
They had reached a broad country
road. and Winthrope had practically
resigned control OF the machine to
Miss Peabody. The road made sharp

around the curve Miss Forbes saw o

Holmes the Man,

what part of anatomy he liked best he
answered: 'The bones. They are clean

little dapper man" who could never
bear the sights of sickroom, who
laughed to relieve the tension. who
would run away when Il rabbit was to
be chloroformed. who was clean and
scrupulous in all respects and incline1
as young man to satiriZe the world
with a somewhat acrid humor. Two
friends have put together picture Of
him: "A small. compact little man,
buzzing about like bee or tiuttering
like u humming bird, exceedingly diff
hcult to catch unless he be really
wanted for some kind act. and then
you are sure OF him" The other adds
that he has powerful jaw and a
thick. strong under lip that gives de-
cision to his look. with dash of pert
ness. In conversation he is animated
and cordial. sharp. too, taking the
words out of ones mouth."-London

The Pictured Cowboy.

I recall one picture by celebrated
artist Of the east who does western
things. 1t depicts Cowboy at Rest"
He is lying on his stomach in the sun,
his chin in his hands, His horse stands
nearby, with the reins thrown over the
horn Of the saddle. Now, a cowboy in
the daytime, well filled with beans and
canned tomatoes, would not lie thus.
and, above all, he would not leave his
horse standing thus. He would pull
the reins down over the horses head
and let them hang, elsewise his cow
horse would depart. l recall yet anoth-
er picture Of a faithful cowpuncher
who with his trusty rife defends him
self from behind his dead horse, which
he uses as fortress. The dead horse
Is about four feet and a half through
sidewise-excellent for a fortress, but
a trifie wide for q thin fanked cow
horse. 1t would be useless to point
out any detail like this to any earnest
artist of today. Worse than useless
would 1t be to suggest that a cow
puncher is the LATEST created thing, for
