synopsis Of Chapters Already Published

Cosmo Versal has made the discovery
that the world ls on the eve of a second
deluge. He placards New York with
posters, calling all 10 prepare for the
coming food. For his own safety he be-
gins the building OF an enormous ark and
barely has II completed when reports are
flashed about the world that the waters
are actually beginning to rise.
suddenly, In midday, the world grew
dark and people became terror stricken.
The rain descended from an Invisible
source and the waters rose. Literally, the
world sweat. About his ark Cosmo had
placed electric wires. and when the mad
dened populace, now terrified beyond
measure, attempted to storm the ark
hundreds were instantly killed The wa
tiers are now rising 10 feet an hour,
Finally the city OF New York is all sub
merged but the huge city Hall, which is
nearly all under water when the last OF
the Government battleships breaks away
from the Brooklyn Navy yard ana In car
rled over against the City Hall, smashing
through the top Of the building and then
sinking to the bottom. From this wreck
small boat arises and in this boat comes
Amos Blank, the richest man in the
world alongside the ark. Blank has lost
his mind, but he offers a billion dollars
in securities, and waves the packet over
his head, II Cosmo will take him abroad
He Is taken In and then the ark is started
toward the East, where. II has. been fr-
ured. Is the worlds highest land. and
which will be the first landing place when
the waters recede. Suddenly those aboard
see the stars overhead and know II has
stopped raining,

why not go back and try TO rescue
those who you say may have found
safety on the highlands" asked one.
II have chosen my company" he said.
'and I had good reasons for the choice
made. / have already added to the
number, because simple humanity COM
PEELED me, but l can take no more. The
quantity of provisions aboard the Ark
is not greater than will be Eeeded by
ourselves. If the rest Of the world Is
drowned H. is not my fault. 1 did my
best to warn them. Besides, we could
do nothing In the way of rescue even If
we did go back for the purpose. We
could not approach the submerged
plateaus We would be aground before
we got in sight of them"
These words went far to change the
current of feeling among the passen-
gers When they learned that there
would be danger for themselves In the
course that had been proposed their
humanity proved to be less strong than
their desire for sclf-preservatiOn. New
ertheless, as we shall see, the Ark ulti-
mately went back to America, though
not for any reason that had yet been
suggested.
Meanwhile the unexpected respite fur
nished from the sudden cessation of the
downpour from the sky had other i'm
portant results, to which we now turn.

LITTLE INTEREST
IN LOCAL STOCKS,

Railway Common Only
Stock in Which There
Was Activity.

The limitations Of the local market
these days are decidedly restricted.
Even bonds, which for some time have
into inactivity. .,
But for the manipulation in Wash
ington Railway shares the market
would really be in a midsummer con-
diton. And the money that is being
paid out for scores of hundreds of
shares of Railway common and pre-
ferred is not being reinvested just at
present.
While the local market is moving
along so slowly. bond houses report
an excellent demand for short-term
notes from local bankers and bankers
at nearby points to Philadelphia. The
seasonable weather has restricted
business and limited the demand for ac-
Commodations at the banks.
This business does not show on the
books of the exchange, but it Is being
distributed "over the counter quite
freely.
Railway common touched "a new high
today, TO- and 1t closed at 74b. and even
here the business was nothing like

delight upon the smooth blue sea- the

great military freedom in their re-
spective spheres, precluding neutral
nations engaging in Manchurian de-
velopment and sanctioning the build

q, Japan, says the correspondent, will
have confirmed all of her territory
south of parallel A, longitude 116,
giving her paramount influence over
it and enabling her to dominate Pc
king, while Russia will have COM
pIete liberty of action in all Chinese
territory to the exterior of the great
wall and west of the Japanese zone.
Japan, says the correspondent, also
accepts the Russian twelye-mile
limit In territorial water ana sup
ports the construction by Russia OF

WASHINGTON, July 20.-A denial
that Russia and Japan are about to
sign a treaty of alliance defining
their respective interests in Man
churia and Mongolia has reached the
State department from the American
Embassy at Toxic. The Embassy
based it's denial on information fur.

fice State Department officials have

The unofficial opinion is expressed
that even II a treaty is in incubation
it might be found to be nothing
more than an agreement between the
two powers not to interfere with one
