sleeping up river. That's where she
is going!"
Glider stood motionless for a mo-
ment. But" he said wonderingly
you can't do that"
"well, perhaps I can't, but I will"
Suddenly his face grew hard. His
heavy jaw shot forward aggressively
as he spoke.
Think I'm going to let that girl
make joke Of the police department? ?
Why. I'm here to get her. to stop her
anyhow. Her gang is going to break
into your house tonight"
WHAT" Glider demanded. "You
! mean she's coming here as theft"
mot exactly" Inspector Burke con-
fessed, "but her pals are coming to
try to pull off something right here.
She wouldn't come, not II / know her
She's too clever for that. Why, If she
knew that Carson was planning to
do, she'd stop him."
The inspector paused suddenly. For
with thought. Then he smote his
thigh with a blow strong enough to
kill an OK. His face was radiant.
i've got her!" he cried. He went
to the desk where the telephone was
and took up the receiver.
"Give me 800 Spring" he said. As
he waited for the connection he smiled
widely on the astonished Glider.
"Headquarters?" he called. 'Inspec-
tor Burke speaking. Who's In my Of
fee? I want him quick" He smiled
as he listened. and he spoke again to
Glider. Its Smith. the best man I
have. That's luck If you ask me-
Then again he spoke into the mouth
piece Of the telephone.
"Oh, Ed, send some one up to that
Turner woman. You have the address.
Just see that she is tipped off that Joe
Carson and some pals are going to
break into Edward elders house to-
night. Get some stoop pigeon to hand
her the information. You'd better get
to work quick. Understand"
The inspector hung up the receiver
and faced his host with a contented
smile.
What good will all that do?" Glider
demanded impatiently.
She'll come to stop 'em. When we
get the rest Of the gang We'll grab her
too. Just call your man for a minute
will you, Mr. Gilder?" ..
Glider pressed the electric button
on his desk. At the same moment,
through the octagonal window, came
a binding flash Of light that rested
for seconds, then vanished. Burke
was startled by the mysterious radi-
ance. :
Is hat?" he demanded sharp
ly.
Its the flash light from the Metro
politan tower" Glider explained. 1T

ARTESIAN WELLS
Facts About Underground Water in
Vicinity of Washinaton.

Facts About Underground Water in
Vicinity Of Washington.
Artesian basins. or the underground
water supply which furnishes artesian
wells with their constantly flowing
streams, sometimes spouting to con-
siderable height above the surface, are
often popularity referred to as Sub
terranean rivers" which are believed
to flow" at great depths. eventually
finding their~ay to the surface to feed
some visible stream. Or they are
thought to exist as great caverns or
reservoirs deep down in the earth,
which, If tapped by the drill. furnish
the tremendous flows Of water which
characterize some of our largest arte-
sian wells-seven wells-several hun
dred thousand-and even in some case
half million gallons a day. 1t is true
that artesian waters are stored up in
underground reservoirs, but they are
not of this character. Most artesian
water supplies consist simply of water
filled strata Of sandstone or other por-
Gus rock material, through which the
water very slowly percolates, confined
from above and below by other strata
of impervious rock or clay. Through
this inclosed laver of porous rock the
water works its way with infinite slow
ness, following the dip or slant Of the
rock, and, where tapped, coming to the
surface if the surface at this point be
below the source Of supply. Coarse
sandstone is capable of holding great
quantity Of water, as much as six
quarts per cubic foot but the rate of
it's movement through this rock is so
slow as to be almost inappreciable.
To illustrate how slowly the water
travels: Many artesian or flowing wells
are found along the Potomac river at
Colonial Beach and other points in Vir-
ginia about sixty miles Of Washington.
This water is obtained by drilling into
sandstone formations which extends
along the Potomac valley and into
Maryland and outcrops near Frederick,
Md, some fifty miles north Of Wash
ington. 1t takes about 100 years for
the water of this "subterranean river"
to flow that distance-that is, the rains
falling upon the exposed portions of tn
porous rocks near Frederick sink in and
move southwark at the rate of about
one mile a year. The water issuing
from the wells at Colonial Beach today
fell as rain on the uplands and noun
tains Of Maryland around about the
time that Washington was president
of the young American republic-Sci-
entific American.

Hiohest Dam in the WorId.-The

Hiahest Dam in the World.-The
Arrowrock dam, now under construc-
ton on the Boise river about twenty
miles above the city Of Boise, Idaho
will be, when completed. the very high
est Of all the dams. From the loves,
point of the foundation to the roadway
on the crest, the height will be 351
feet. 1t will be heavy enough to resist
the enormous head of water back Of it
but additional provisions besides that
of weight are being made. Thus the
dam will disclose a curved outline ir
plan. The curvature will, 1t Is expected
tend in the reduction Of the stresses
due to fluctuations Of temperature. On
the crest the curved length will be
1,060 feet. The foundation Is through
to be of such character as to permit
the elimintary precautions. 1t Is pro-
posed as a further safeguard agains,
such pressure, to put down deep into
the foundation, a line of holes just
within the line Of the upstream race
These holes are to go down thirty or
forty feet, and are to be subjected to
the application Of Portland cement
grout under pressure. 1t is possible
that no grout can be introduced be-
cause of the compactness OF the rock
"A line of open holes will be driven to
catch any seepage that might possibly
get past the pressure grouting and
these seep holes will be led up into
large inspection tunnel that will run
the entire length Of the dam just above
the normal high water surface Of the
back water"
The dam will! be constructed of rub
BILE cement. The total amount Of ma
sonry for this dam will amount to
about 100000 cubic yards.-Cassier's

Women Warriors.-Women are TAX
ing an active part in the fighting in
Albania, according to dispatches re-
ceived in Vienna from Aviona. the AL
banian capital.
Many Albanian Amazons armed with
hatchcts, fought heroically shoulder
to shoulder with their husbands, sons
and brothers during the street fighting
at Dibra, when 1900 Servians were
killed and 300 taken prisoners. The
town fell into the hands Of the Albani-
ans and the prisoners were sent under
escort to Tirania.
The fighting in the vicinity Of Dibra
both before and after its fall was OF
the most desperate character.
The women of the Greek race in
southern Albania are also displaying a
very warlike spirit. At Koritza, which
is held by the Greeks, sixty girls have
formed themselves into a company
which is drilled by Greek non-com-
missioned officers. The women declare
they would sooner die fighting than
permit Koritza to be incorporated In
the state of Albania.

Glider was in despair. What argu.
ment could avail him? He cried out
sharpe!y in desperation.

Don't go to smash, Dick, just at the
beginning Of your life. Oh, beg you
boy, stop! Put this girl out Of your

his voice rang out clearly: But

The butler entered.
"a man to see you, SIR" he said.
The master took the card. Very

glance met the wondering gaze Of his
son.
What on earth can he want-at this
time Of night?" Dick exclaimed.
"You may as we'll get used to visits

A moment later Inspecor Burke en-
tered the room.
She's skipped" he said triumph
antly.
Dick made a step forward. His eyes
flashed, and there was anger In his
voice as he replied:
Il don't believe It,"
"She left this morning for Chicago,
Burke said, lying with manner that
long habit rendered altogether con-
vincing. Il told you she'd CO." He

you have to do is to get this boy out
Of the scrape and you'll be all right"

with deepest earnestness from the lips
Of Glider. but there was little hope

II guess we can find way to have
the marriage annulled or whatever
they do to marriages that don't take, "
said Burke.
The brutal assurance Of the man in
thus referring to things that were sa-

Nevertheless Burke held to the
topic.

Just remember that"
But Dick was not listening. His
thoughts were again wholly with the
| woman he loved, who, as the inspector
declared, had fed from him.
Where's she gone in Chicago"
Burke answered in his usual gruff
fashion, but with a note Of kindliness
that was not without it's effect on
Dick.
I'm no mind reader" he said. But
she'll proably stop at the Blackstone

tipped off that she is in town."
The face of the young man took on
totally different expression. He went
close to the inspector and spoke with
intense seriousness.

me chance. I'll leave for Chicago in
the morning. Give me twenty-four
hours start before you begin bounding

The inspector smiled acquiescence.

The inspector shot word of warn

could not hear.

You give me your word, inspector,

1t was not until the door was clos

Certainly" Glider answered. But
don't like it."
Best thing that could have hap

Where did she go them" Glider
inquired, wholly at a loss.

LEARNING A ROADS VALUE
The Nation Is Awakening to the Benefit
of Improved Highways.

Of Improved Highways.
One Of the strongest things In the
history in the development Of this
country Is that the people as a ma
ton waited until the last few years
to realize what good roads mean to
civilization. They waited until after
the great era Of railroad building was
long since over and the United States
had become a world leader Industrial
ly. It seems that the economic value
Of the first class highways ought to
have been just as apparent seventy
five years ago as 1t Is now, but nearly
everything else in the way of provid-
Ing general means Of transportation
was done before we began to consider
the road problem in its true signif-
canoe. Despite the obvious fact that
the American people grapple with
only a few vital problems at a time,
the long delay Of the good lads
movement can hardly be explained.
But the people are not destined to
travel In the mud and ruts forever.
The belated good roads movement
has started in earnest, and there Is
every reason to believe that 1t will be
carried on successfully until no Euro
pean nation can boast Of as good
thoroughfares as ours. 1t Is pion-
neer movement, and 1t is a well known
fact that as pioneers, Americans have
no superiors.
The campaign of agitation, which
began to attract general attention two
or three years ago, has made mar
velous headway. Public opinion has
been affected in particularly every
county in the United States. More
speeches have been made and more
printers ink consumed In the discus
sion of the road problem in the last
two years than in any previous
twenty-five years. Scores Of organi-
cations, local and national, have been
started for the purpose Of stimu-
lating public sentiment and urging
enabling legislation. Hundreds OF
commercial associations in towns and
cities have taken up the problem.
and thousands of public spirited men
have contributed literally of their
money for the furtherance of the
cause. Distinguished civil engineers
are devoting their time and labor to
the solution of construction problems,
and many = eminent statesmen are
studying the situation with a view
to helping frame and put through the
necessary legislation. Borough, town.
ship and county fiscal authorities are
replacing incompetent supervisors
with skilled road engineers. And.
what means more than can be easily
imagined, a very large number OF
rural taxpayers are beginning to rea-
lize that good roads. Of all public
conveniences, are vital necessity

On Tree Trunk at Sea.-A stirring
tale of the sea was told by the officers
Of the Peninsular and Oriental steam
er Banca on the arrival Of that vessei
at Bombay last month. after a voyage
from Japan. They had on board a
swarthy Dutch Malay. who was res
cued under extraordinary circumstan-
ces. The Banca left Moji, Japan. with
a cargo Of coal, bound for Bombay.
During the passage Of the Straits OF
Malacca an object was described
floating in the sea. The course Of the
vessel was altered and as the Banca
steamed nearer the object, man was
made out seated on tree trunk, and
waving his trousers as a distress Sig
nal. The castaway was picked up and
taken aboard in state Of extreme
exhaustion.
When ne had recovered the man
told an amazing story. He declared
that he and four companions set out
in a small boat, when they were over
taken by a gale. Their frail craft was
unable to Withstand the storm and
eventually capsized. They were
thrown into the water, but finding a
tree trunk rode out the gale. They
remained in this awful predicament
for days, according to the Malay, tor
tured by the pangs Of hunger and
thirst, and in danger from sharks.
There was no possibility Of reaching
land, even had they known In which
direction 1t lay Their only hope was
being rescued by passing steamers.
Several vessels did, in fact, pass them.
but no notice was taken Of their fran
tic signals and cries Of help. The un-
fortunates were washed away one by
one until only the Malay remained.
Sighting the Banca he renewed his
efforts to attract notice, and was
eventually successful-London Tele-
graph.
