out of my soul. / had never known
the like before; here was something
absolutely beyond my control. To love
meant desertion to the enemy and
treachery of the most dastardly kind
to the cause OF liberty. For year
did not go within 500 miles Of her, and
devoted myself fiercely to the grim
business of dynamite and stiletto, as
half a dozen nations know to their
cost.
"All was in vain. was as COM
pletely enchanted as we're the deluded
victims of my powers. Strangely
enough, to exercise these powers upon
her l felt to be impossible. Yet did
not even know whether she had so
much as dreamed of loving me, nor
did l much care Such love as mine,
| knew well, was not to be baked by
a mere woman's will 1t was with my
own will that the battle lay.
There is no need to detail my strug-
gles-they lasted for three years, and
at last 1 gave up the unequal conflict.
It was in the Invisible City, late at
night, remember, that at last admit
ted defeat, and, once conquered,
made immediate preparations to open
my new career, and completely close
the old. Human life, l am glad to
say, has never weighed much with me.
Our immense water reservoir was sit
uated on the hillside just above the
city, and by night l employed myself
secretly in weakening the gates.
also labored to turn the half dry
course of river that cloudburst al
ways changed to a roaring torrent, and
to defect it toward the reservoir. The
valley would fill like a cup with the
next cloud-burst, and not man could
pass the lines, even under fear Of
death. For myself, the only danger
was that which always menaced me in
leaving the city-that the Hypnotic
wires should make the earth circuit to
my body-for the constant neighbor-
hood of the strange psycho-physical
currents had produced an effect some
what akin to polarization-to avoid
technical explanation. AS a safe
guard, l wore a complete garment of
woven glass, manufactured by our
own processes, and flexible as CLOTH
"On the Sd of January, 1899,
l secured what gold happened to be
in the treasury, and left the Invisible
City for the last time. l went straight
to New York, where 1 exchanged the
dust for $1,000 bills"
At this point the narrative broke off
abruptly, ended by the death of the
mysterious writer. What was the
true cause of his strange paralytic
seizure? Had the wonderful "Hyp-
motto Ray" found him out, and avenged
upon him the murder of 100000
people?
No one will ever know. And mean
while the Invisible City rests at peace
beneath the blue waters of the Lake
Of Demons-invisible forever.

AUTOSPEED LIMITUP


for the long grind would be wonderful
speed quality, while others thought
that sixty-hve miles an hour would
mark the limit A few guessed that
the winner might do seventy-two miles
an hour, and one or two, who were
said to be fanatics on the subject, esti-
mated the average speed at seventy.
four miles an hour.
Ray Harroun and Cyrus Patschke,
in their Marmon Wasp" covered the
500 miles in six hours, forty-two min.
utes and eight seconds, an average
speed of 74.61 miles per hour. The
timing was questioned, but the War
ner instrument showed that 1t had
registered truly along with a half
score of the best watches, and the
record went down as a part of motor.
car racing history.
Now comes another chance for the
experts to prophesy what will happen
when thirty big cars start out again
to do the half-thousand-mile route
over the indianapolis Motor Speedway
track next Memorial Day. The Sec
ond annual 5O0-mile International
Sweepstakes race will be the contest
which will decide just what advance
ment the motor-car makers have made
as far as speed and endurance are
concerned.
It is a remarkable condition that
none of the entrants this year so far
has failed to state his belief that the
average speed. of the race will be bet
ter than n or 78 miles per hour. They
are building their cars to travel at
this rate for the full distance and have
manned them with drivers who do
not fear to send the metal monsters
hurtling through space at the rate Of
100 miles an hour if necessary to win.
The Speedway race promoters have
anticipated the increased speed by
making the qualifying requirements
even greater than they were for last
year, every contestant who starts in
the race being required to make a
full lap Of the two-and-a-half mile
brick track in two minutes or at the
rate Of seventy-five miles per hour.
This will not trouble those who enter,
however, for they know the require.
ment and that they can meet it before
their entries are made.
AS an example Howard Wilcox, in a
big blue National, has been reeling
off laps at an average speed of about
ninety miles per hour on the Speed
way course during the biting cold win
ter weather, and believes he can coax
more speed out of his car when the
weather does not work such physical
hardship upon him Others who have
been working out theft cars havefound
that the speed requirement is easy to
meet

budding after a winter of worldlyism,
and each Easter we blossom forth
anew with desire for more spiritual
ity, it's comforting that in thought, at
least, l may turn to the scene which
uplifted my aims and ambitions It's
because Of this that 1 try to coax back
to mind the incidents of genial good
fellowship which humanized the occa-
sion Of which 1 am about to speak.
Right after sunrise there assembled
in the crowded combination room in
the low frame dwelling, known for
miles as Justins', thirteen Of us, eight
children and five adults. It was a
rare company. The old grandfather,
slightly bent-a luxury of bushy hair
turned white-hands thin and knotty,
always outstretched in welcome, and
JAMIE, the dearest little mink that
ever reigned, at his side, coaching him
If he should fail to discern the speak
er, graciously acted as hosts, and
made US all feel very much at home.
The atmosphere was so peaceful there
that one could not help but be drawn
to the others present. Like an en-
chanted fairy's, Janie's golden locks
shed a splendor all about the room,
but with this glimmer was outshone
by the illuminated countenance Of
the grandfather which radiated the
light from within.
Weeks ahead, jamie had confided to
me her design to get all the really
poor children to come up to her place
for some Easter joy. To use her own
phrase, II want to give all the poor
kids lot Of fun on Easter morn" In
this l consented to act as procurer to
the extent Of inducing one little Grip
pie to promise for my sake-that was
the way put ito accompany me to
Justins'. This little chit of a girl,
Agnes, was weary of heart because of
the thought that her own widowed
mother, whose hfe's blood was going
out fast, could not muster enough
strength to attend, but she did not
evince any sign of agitation for fear
that it might cause a gloom to settle
on the enthusiasm of the others. Il
have always believed that one of the
happy moments in Agnes life was
when jamie embraced her in her arms,
and literally smojlered her in her
small bosom with all the warmth that
she could exude.
Hardly had the word been given
that all was ready for the egg hunt,
when l offered my arm to Grandpa,
who, with his eyes always turned in
my direction, from habit, nodded al
gracious acceptance as he suited ac-
tion to the word and hitch,ed his arm
into mine. on we strobe. The whole
company, divided off in twos, threes
and fours, scampered over the ground,
examining every foot of soil to locate
the nests of colored eggs, chocolate
bunnies and other goodies which had
been secreted the day before by John
