CHAPTER Viii.
Dance CT the Hours.

-Four p. III.
The old clock in a corner OF the
study chimed resonantly and with de-
liberation; four double strokes; and
while yet the deep.throated music was
diving into silence the telephone bell
shrieked impertinently.
Maitland bit savagely on the gag
and knotted his brows, trying to bear
it. The effect was that Of a coarse
file rasped across raw quiyering
nerves. And he lay helpless, able to
do no more toward endurance than to
dig nails deep into his palms.
Again and again the tiendish clamor
shattered the echoes. Binding flashes
of agony danced down the white-hot
wires strung through his head, taut
from temple to temple.
Would the fool at the other end
never be satisfied that he could get
no answer? Evidently not; the racket
continued mercilessly, short series of
shrill calls alternating with imperative
rolls prolonged until one thought that
the tortured metal sounding-cups would
crack. Thought, nay, prayed that
either such would be the case, or else
that ones head might at once merci'
fully be rent asunder,
That anguish so exquisite should
be the means of releasing him from
his bonds seemed a refinement of
irony Yet Maitland was aware, be-
tween spasms. that help was on the
way. The telephone instrument, for
obvious convenience, had been
equipped with an extension bell which
rang simultaneously in OHagan's
quarters. When Maitland was not at
home the janitor.valet, so warned
would answer the calls. And now, in
the still intervals, the heavy thud OF
uhhurried feet could be heard upon
the staircase. O'Hagan was coming

LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED

water seeks it's lever' is an ex-
preston heard so frequently as to be
almost trite, and yet the law has its
exceptions. There are conditions under
which water actually flows upward and
rises above its source. If glass tube
be dipped into water the column in
side will be above the level of the sur
rounding surface. Moreover, If a tube
of half the diameter be substituted the
column doubles it's height. The water
creeps along the inside of the tube,
owing to the adhesion, and forms
cup-shaped depression at the top.
An explanation is not difficult. 1t
can be proved mathematically that II
the diameter of a circle be diminished
one-half the circumference is also re-
duced to that extent, while the area
is one-fourth of its former value. The
circumference of the column of water
being reduced one-half, its contact
with the glass, and hence the adhesive
force. is also diminished that extent,
while the cross section, and hence the
weight, is decreased to a fourth OF
what it was before. Therefore, the
second column can be twice the height
of the first without exceeding the lift
ing power.
Remarkable as the underlying prin-
ciples of this phenomenon undoubtedly
are, nature made use of them long De-
fore man made their discovery. Every
tree and flower adds its testimony. The
core of a tree or plant, instead OF be-
ing a single open channel, consists OF
a spongelike substance containing
many miniature tunnels, through
which the sap and moisture collected
by the roots flow upward in small rlV-
uiets, rising higher and higher, In
sheer defiance of the great law OF
gravity.

The Rainey Panama Resolution.

What has become OF the Rainev resolu-
ton respecting the purchase of the Pam
anna canal property? Will the author press
it, or let it sleep?
MIR. Rainey, it has been stated, spent
the Christmas holiday in New York in
veStiGating rumors of information bear
ing upon the subject of his resolution. A
number of men had written him proffering
assistance, but after comforting with them
he was doubtful as to the legal value of
what they possessed. He did not think
it would be accepted in court as evidence.
1t is well to remember at this time that
the charges of American impropriety-to
use a mild word-in the division of the
forty million dollars paid for the property
i'm question are not new. They were first
heard at the time of the acquisition of
the property, and Senator Morgan of Ala
bama was SO much impressed with them
he sought 10 probe them. His death put
an end to the inquiry. He had not. how
ever, made any material progress.
Since then the subject had languished
until last fall, when it was revived with
certain personal embellishments intended
to do duty in the presidential campaign
A brother of the republican candidate and
brother-in-law of Mr.. Roosevelt were
mentioned by name as sharing in sort
of swag
In its amended and enlarged form the
story did not appeal to the managers of
the democratic campaign. 1t was offered
to and examined by them. but failed to
impress them Among them were several
eminent lawyers. who seemed to take the
same view with which Mr.. Rainey is now
accredited.
But certain newspapers which were op-
posing Judge Taft printed the story. and
in that way it obtained prominence. But
it exerted no influence on the election
certainly none prejudicial to the republic
can national ticket. Judge Taft carried
both New York and Indiana. the former
by an enormous majority, and it was in
those two states that the most stress was
laid upon the story.
The whole matter had been forgotten al
most when w. d. Foulke of Indiana, a
friend of the President, came forward
with letters which he and the President
had exchanged on the subject. These
were very pointed. especially the Presi-
dents. and warm row was kicked
up. Then followed indignant denials by
Charles Z. Taft and Douglas Robinson,
the two men who had been assailed by
name, and now the whole matter has be-
come of acute national moment.
The Raney resolution has merit, in
that it goes into the large aspects OF the
question. If it shall pass. the country
will expect, not a partisan Investigate ton.
with the object of providing campaign
material, but the development of the
whole case, in the spirit of uncovering
improperly. or worse. il wrong has been

property, or of forever siencing those
who have made or circulated charges de-
rocatory to national or personal honor.

The Lincoln Memorial

Viewed in the abstract. the proposition
TO place the national Lincoln memorial
on the river bank. in conjunction with the
long projected Memorial bridge TO Airing
ton. is undeniably the most appropriate
suggestion which has yet been advanced
for the development of the project Such
a bridge would alone. If designed in archi-
tectural keeping with the subject serve
as an eloquent tribute to the war presi-
dent, who served the whole people and
who reunited the sections. A tangible,
physical link between north and south,
joining the seat of government with the
Vaihalla of the Union. such bridge
would impress all beholders as the high
est conceivable token Of grateful coun-
trys regard.
But the Lincoln memorial, if placed
where the park commission suggested, on
the rivers edge. would without the Me-
mortal bridge be detached inaccessible
and in large measure ineffective 1t could
not be another great obelisk like the
Washington shaft. 1t would of necessity
be of a different order, probably not SO
massive as to be underst God from a dis
tant viewpoint as the Lincoln symbol,
and without the bridge as a reason for
and means of close approach 1t would be
visited by comparatively few people.
Congress has on several occasions re-
fused to appropriate mon Y for the Memo
rial bridge. and in the present state Of the
Treasury 1t Is exceedingly doubtful If the
plan could now muster even its former
strength Of support in the two houses 1t
must remain an object OF desire perhaps
for another decade. maybe much longer.
Meanwhile the government should lose
