described the fighting machine of the
future-an atomic engine which should
utilize some newly discovered law OF
molecular action, a machine that
might be carried in single hand, to
which battleship would be, as he ex-
pressed it, mere silly shreds OF steel"
He spoke, thought, with strange
confidence that seemed almost unbal-
anced. In connection with the con-
versation, the later incident, con.
TESS, left deep impression. Yet the
idea it suggested was so incredible
that have never spoken of it to any
one before"
Suppose" said the admiral, that
the man we are discussing had actual
ly constructed such machine. What
possible connection can there be be-
tween that and confidence in some
near event which will lower Japans
credit in the eyes of the world?"
Before the ambassador replied there
was the sound of voices outside-a
sudden commotion and Woman's agi-
tated protestations. The secretary
came in hurriedly and whispered to
the admiral. A door slammed in the
hall, there was sound of short
struggle, and a girl burst into the
room She threw herself at the ad-
mirals feet, painting broken sentences.
Her kimono was torn and muddied,
her blue-black hair was loosened, and
her face white and pitifully working
A man had darted after her-he was
the admirars aide. He grasped her
arm. "She has been at the depart
ment," he said in English, with a
glance at the visitors. "They detained
her there, but she got away. They
have telephoned warning that she
might attempt to see YOU
She struggled against him, her eyes
sweeping the circle about her with
passionate entreaty. Suddenly she
saw the ambassador. She lifted her
face, swollen with crying to him:
"You-nod know me-Haru?" she
faltered, me? Say SOL"
"Haru!" he exclaimed. Then, turn
ing to the admiral, 81 know the child"
he said. "She was companion to one
of our house guests till week ago,
when she. disappeared from her home"
His host made an exclamation OF
pity. 1T is no-byo, no doubt" he said,
using the word for the strange Japan
csc brain fever which is akin to mad
ness. "She must be cared for at
once" He leaned and spoke soothing
ly to her.
A spasm seized Haru. She tore her.
self from the aides grasp and, falling
prone, beat her small fists on the floor.
They will none of them listen! They
will none of them listen!" she scream
ed, in Japanese. ''They call it the
fever, and they will not hear! And to-
morrow it will be too late!" A peal of
hysteric laughter shook her, mixed
with strangling sobs. "Are all the gods
with Bersonin-San?"
At that name the admiral's face
changed swiftly Leave her with me,
he said, "and wait in the ante-room."
But, EXcellency-"
The other lifted his hand and the
aide withdrew with the secretary. His
two callers had risen, but he stayed
them. 1--WE have gone far along the
road of confidence tonight" he said
in low tone. IF you. are willing, we
will go to the end
He bent and drew the girl to sit
ting posture.

anything have happened in that one
days interval so utterly to change
her? She had been unhappy, for he
had surprised her weeping. What was
it she had wished to "confess?" So
tonight his gloomy reflection ran-to
their submerging wave of self re-
proach.
He let himself into the chancery
with his latchkey, to get his evenings
mail. A telegram had been laid on
his desk. 1t was cipher from Wash
ington, and he opened the safe at once
and from the inner drawer took out
the official code book. He sat down at
one of the desks and began the de-
cooling of the text. For time he
worked mechanically-as it we're, with
but one-half of his brain-tracing each
group of figures in the bulky volume,
transposing by the secret key, drag
ging in the complicated process, sense
and coherency from the meaningless
digits. Then he sat staring at the re-
suit:

A full five minutes Daunt sat mo-
tionless, revolving the matter in all
it's bearings. An answer must be sent
without delay. A part of that answer
might be found in the departure of the
squadron. The newspapers had an
nounced it's receipt of sailing orders,
but the news had yet to be verified.
The naval minister could give this YER
ification.
He went at once to the stables,
where the carriage was about to start
for the ambassador. He sprang in. A
little later he was at the admiral's
residence and his chief was perusing
the message. After a moments
thought the ambassador read it aloud.
Daunt had made a move to retire,
but the admiral stopped him.

Not of the Powder Trust.

The statement is made in the current
issue Of Golfers that United States
Senator Henry A. DUPONT, of Delaware,
who is chairman of the Senate commit
tee on military affairs Ii a member of
the committees Oh coast defences and
expenditures in the War Department,
is president of the Powder Trust"
This statement is made, no doubt, for
the purpose of emphasizing the impro-
priety, not to say scandal, that would
attach to the president of the Powder
Trust occupying committee positions
which have such intimate relations
with the purchase Of powder and other
explosives by the government.
But the statement that Senator du-
POnt is thus intimately connected with
the Powder Trust is not correct. He
is not its president. He isnot even con-
nected with it, save possibly as a stock
holder in its business. He never was
actively concerned in the management
OF the great DUPONT powder interests.
But of the extent of his financial inter-
est in the business is not possible for
outsiders TO speak with authority.
1t is we'll to betcorrect in all matters,
even in respect of the representatives
of the Trusts of the United States Sen-
ate. Senator dupont is not officially OF
actively connected with the Powder
Trust, but that he is friendly to an
Trusts. including the Powder Trust,
with which he is intimately allied by
family connections, is not tc be denied.

The investigation at Washington of
the Sugar Trust methods reveals the
connection of the Mormon Church with
business politics. The faithful Nor
mons give one-tenth of their income to
the Church. That amounts to $780,
600 to 81, 500, 900 a year. That is more
than the needs of the Church for the
propagation of its faith, so the Church
officials use the Church money in bust
ness. That makes them strong as a
political force. That is why the rocky
mountain states have been voting diff
ferently than in 1896.
