It was an army deployed In an ir
regular circle, and moving inward
toward it's center. Men Of the highest
executive ability commanded 1t, saw
to it's necessary deliberation, eliminat'
ed all possibility Of confusion
through which any man could slip
The occasion was serious, and It was
taken seriously.
OF the outcome no one In touch
with the situation had a moments
doubt. The messages and the phe
nomena had continued to come from
the danger zone. It was Of course evi
dent that they could not have been
sent from any portion OF the zone
actually searched and occupied by the
searchers. The remaining portion OF
the zone, from which they'were still
coming, had been completely sur
rounded. After that the manifestations
had ceased. Therefore, Monsieur X
must be within the beleaguered circle
To add to the probabilities, as Eldridge
pointed out, the remaining district
comprised the highest hills In the
zone-a fact on all tours with his
hypothesis.
On the appointed morning the army
moved toward the center. Men beat
the ground carefully, SO close to one
another that they could touch hands
AS they closed in the ranks became
thicker. Animals Of many kinds, con
fused as the ranks closed In on them
tried to break through the Gordon and
were killed. Captains held order IN the
front row. that the army might moi
become crowd. Birds. alarmed by
the shouting, rose and wheeled.
In the city immense crowds watched
the bulletins sent momently from the
very field itself by private wires
strung hastily for the occasion. Enter
prising journals had prepared huge
rough maps, on which the contracting
circle was indicated by red lines, con
stantly redrawn. It was discovery be
fore a multitude. The imagination Of
the public, fired by it's realisation OF
this fact. stretched itself ahead of the
distant heaters. bodying forth what
they might find.
AS the circle narrowed excitement
grew. All business ceased. The streets
were crowded; the windows OF the
buildings looking out on the numerous
bulletin-boards were black with heads
Those who could not see demanded
eagerly of those who could. In the
Atlas building, the wireless operator
hung out of his window. Beside him
was Jack Warford:
Darrow declined to join them. You
tell me-" said he.
Jack therefore reported back over
his shoulder the bulletins as they ap
peared. The crowds below read them
their faces upturned. One ran:
Gordon now has surrounded the
crest Of the Knob. Station Of Monsieur
X determined among oak trees. Men
halted. Picket company surrounds.
The crowd roared its appreciation
and Impotence. A long pause followed
Then came the next bulletin:
Search discovers nothing"
A puzzled, angry murmur arose. con
fused and chopped, like cross currents
in a tideway. Finally this was huns
out:
t'No traces Of human occupancy.
"A moments astonished pause en-
sued. Then, over the vast multitude
its faces upturned In incredulou'
amazement; over the city lying
sparkling in the MONDAY sun fell ths
pail of absolute darkness.
In the wireless office of the Atlas
huildinp Percy barrow laughed.

"We have been told that this is a

How the EiffeI Tower Moves.


That the Eiffel Tower moves daily
In a vertical and horizontal sense has
long been beyond doubt. Apart from
the scientific laws of expansion and
contraction, which inevitably affected
It. one could see it during a gale sway.
ing from side to side. But It's vertical
movements were q mere matter OF
conjecture until M. Guillaume under
took to investigate them. He shows
that the great iron structure may vary
IN inch in height every day. The ele-
vation or depression Is not equally dis
tributed. as only one Of its sides may
be affected BY the rise or fan OF the
temperature, and thus the tower may
be compared to q person shifting his
weight alternately from ono foot TO
ohe oder.

In Teheran. in place Of the face veil
Of white cloth, the Persian new wom-

net or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heels; . European skirt
has taken the place of the short skirt
and narrow trousers: the head kerr
chief Is being abandoned. One lady
tried to introduce an outfit to take
the place Of the "chuddur." leaving

too revolutionary even for Teheran.
