aging grasp as II to say. "Old CON-
rade. I'm here!"' A faint pressure
was returned. but Atkinson lay quite
still.
Atkinson's life line ran up free. but
his hose, the precious way Of air and
life, was caught under shattered
timber Of the barge. which must have
lurched over suddenly as Atkinson
tunneled under it. And In turning it
had caught the rubber pipe before the
old diver could escape, and now the
end Of the timber. hooked over the
hose, was imbedded in the mud and
the hose was held in massive v that

weight Of the barge and its load He
felt Atkinson's hand drawing him
closer, and. bending over. he heard

to cut bis hose and instantly press his

on the air inside his suit until they
could lift him to the surface with the
life line and get his helmet OF.
He remembered hearing the question
argued and doubt expressed whether a
diver would be able to cut his own
hose. for the diver himself might have
trouble in getting at it. But this case
was different. He could get at Akin.

The master diver drew his knife and

hose held tight between his knees.

After all. he could not do this thing.
That hose was living thing, life and

to bring Atkinson instantly face to

cred the hose. Then instantly he
stopped the hole with his left thumb
and gave three quick pulls on the life
lines. and the next second the two
divers were rising to the surface.
And all might have gone we'll had
not the men who were lifting Philip
pulled faster than the other two, so
that presently he found himself rising
above Atkinson.
Philip seized Atkinson's life line
with his right hand and chung to 1t
desperately. while with his left he
held the hose. He could Just reach
down to 1t and no more. And present
ly, as the men above worked in mad
der haste, he felt Atkinson's life line
sagging above him and knew by the
sudden strain that he was holding the
mans entire weight. suit and all. with
his unaided right hand.
He could not help with his left hand
because he dared not move it from
the hose. He could not signal the
men even II they would have under
stood him. for both hands were occu-
pied. And with all the love In the
world he could not support this load
many seconds. 1t was beyond his
strength-beyond the strength Of any
man.
Now they must be halfway up. He
would hold on little longer, and then
and then came great roaring In his
ears and blackness in his eyes. and the
hose was torn from his nerveless hand.
He had failed In his effort. Atkinson
must die. and In the agony Of this
thought he lost consciousness.
The next thing Philip knew he was
lying on one Of the hunks Of the wreck
ing scow and the company's doctor
was bending over him. He opened his
eyes weakly.
1t all came back to Philip, and be
started up In alarm.

"Ah" sighed the young man and

The suspension of constitutional guarantees throughout the country and the suppression of news from the seat of war are clear signs of Senor Maura's intention to rely upon bayonets at home and abroad.

If, on the other hand. the Spanish arms meet with further severe reverses and there is an insurrection in Spain, he will have lost nothing by holding cut to the last. The whole tragedy of the business lies in the fact tLat the Riff fans did not wish to fight and the Spaniards did not want to fight: but the central government in Madrid has ignored the wishes of everybody. and has plunged the country into the ad- venture that may result in disas- ter of the first magnitude.
