CHAPTER XIV.
Galorey Gives Advice.

Lord Galorey had long been used
to seeing things go the way they would
and should not, and his greatest effort
had been attained on the day he gave
his languid body the trouble to go in
and see Ruggles.
"My God" he muttered as he watch
ed Dan and the duchess on the terrace
together-they were nevertheless un-
deniably a handsome pair-"to think
that this is the way ! am returning
old Blair's hospitality" And he was
ashamed TO recall his western expe-
riences, when in a shack in the noun
tains he had watched the big stars
come out in the heavens and sat late
with old Dan Blair. delighted with the
simple PHILOSOPHERS and the mans
high ideals.
What the devil does It all mean?'
he wondered. she has simply Sc

Queensland Pearl Divers.

The Queensland diver gets into his
dress at daybreak. steps onto the lad
der over the side, and fastens the life
line round him: the tender screws on
the face glass, the pumps are start
ed. and down goes the diver to look
for shell. II he is on ground wher
shell is plentiful he fills his bag. then
allows his dress to fill with air. which
brings him to the surface. when he Is
hauled to the boat by the life line.
He empties his bag onto the deck and
goes down for another bagfuL Some
of the divers occasionally work In
25 fathoms.
The greatest danger with which the
diver has TO contend is paralysis. and
knowing the danger he runs he some
times demands $1,000 in advance. and
this amount Is sometimes lost to the
pearler through the zeal and daring of
the diver.

the westerner quietly.

The young man threw his cue

he turned pale. but he said in a low
voice:

where nitric acid and sulphurie acid
are added. The mixture is whirled
around in huge tub-like machines COW

carry off the acid fumes. When this
is completed the cotton is washed In
fresh water and dried by a wItnger,
and unless this work is very thorough

sition 1t is now gun-cottcn and Is
placed in cars and pushed to tho boil

in papermaking. next comes into play.
Here the gun-cotton is chopped up by
knives so as to give the fibers thor
ough cleansing. From here it goes to
the poaching house, which consists OF
series or large tubs in which the
pyrocellus, as the material is now
called, goes through a further clean
! ing process Of hot and cold washings.
1t is then dried by a wringer SINH
lar to printing machine and sent to
the press house, where the water Is
squeezed out under great pressure.
After few minutes in the machine
the mixture comes out resembling
huge white cheese. 1t is weighed and
sent to the mixing house, where there
are instruments such as are used In
making bread by machinery and which
are known as kneading machines. The
pyrocellus Is here mixed with a solv-
ent, the name of which the govern
ment prefers to keep secret. The
resultant material is thick, yellow
gelatinous mass resembling taffy.
The stage of smokeless powder has
now been reached and the mixture Is
once more put through machine by
hydraulic pressure. 1t is then wrapped
around reels and dried by steam so as

into the proper grain suitable to the
different calibers OF guns and at this
stage It bears a striking resemblance
to hoarhound candy, as it is identical
with that both in shape and color.
Then comes the cutting into proper
lengths. and this is done by hand and
the use Of a sharp instrument very
much like a meat chopper. Two men
do this work and they are especially
careful to get the powder the exact
length. The cut powder is carried to
another table, where a man goes over
each piece and the defective pieces
are thrown out. The inspector is par
ticular that only perfect powder Is
: sent out. Recently plant has been
erected to work over this defective
powder, and so successful has this
process been that the powder which
, a few years ago would have been
total loss, is now remade In such q
manner as to be the equal OF the best
of the new product.
The next step in the process is dry

what set?" The boy looked ap-
pallingly young as Gordon stared
down at him. There wasn't line or
wrinkle on his smooth brow or on
his lips and forehead finely cut and
well molded-but there were the very
seals of what his father would have
been glad to see. The boy had the
same clear look and unspoiled frank
ness that had charmed Galorey at tie
first. He had been lazy coward to
delay so long.
"Why, the rottenness OF this set
right here in my house" And as the
host began to see that he should have
to approach a womans name In speak
