obeyed."
Now, what do you think of that y
cried Hallowell. He doesn't even men-
ton tn: name of his friend>to the dear
people who are to hunt him down
Fine dope!"
Darrow's face expressed sleepy
satisfaction He stretched his arms
and yawned. :.
You might supply the deficiency"
he suggested. WELL" he remarked
to Jack, that settles il. Everything S
running like catboat in fair wind.
He's in communication with US; he
is gaining confidence in his inflated
imaginary importance; we are to have
continuance of his peculiar activi-
ties; and We can put our hands on
him at a moments notice"
! What" shouted Hallowell and Jack
Warford, leaping TO their feet
Where is he?" demanded the re-
porter.
How do YOU know cried Jack.
Simmons, his head-piece laid aside,
looked up al him in silent curiosity.
1T is sufficient for now that j do
know" smiled barrow "As for how
know, that last wireless proved it
to me.
All three men Immediately bent over
the message for a detailed perusal.
After a minutes scrutiny, Hallowell
looked up in disappointment
Too many for me-" he confessed
What is there in that"
But barrow shook his head
Il play my own game was all the
explanation he would vouchsafe.
you may as well knock off, old
man." he told Simmons. Il don't
think there'll be anything more doing
tonight: and it doesn't matter if there
Is. Tell your other man to jot down
anything from that sending, if any
comes. Now" he turned to Hallowell,
Il want to see your managing editor
The three took the subway to City
Hall Square. The managing editor
received barrow with much favor as
the vehicle of big scoop brought in
far enough ahead of going to press
to permit of ample time for its de-
velopment.
Now, Mr.. Curtis. said barrow to
this man. this is going to be an in
teresting week for you. Here's your
last exclusive dispatch. From tomor-
row morning every paper IN town will
naturally get every wireless that
comes in
Him." observed Curtis reading the
dispatch. what next
Hell fulfill his threat. Tomorrow
evening at O'Clock he will stop the
vibrations OF either light, of electricity,
or of sound-probably of electricity,
as he has appointed the rush hour"
Most likely" Curtis agreed.
Warn the people to keep out of
the subways, and not to get scared.
Take it easy. There's no danger. Ex-
plain why in words of one syllable
Sure"
Now, this is what I'm here for. Up
to now these manifestations have been
harmless in their direct effects. But
follow the hypothesis to its logical con-
clusion. Suppose this man can arrest
the vibrations not only of light and
sound, but also of the third member
of the vibrstory trinity. Suppose he
should go one step farther: and, even
for the barest fraction of time, should
be able to stop the vibrations of heat"
The managing editor half rose. As
the idea in IFS full significance gained
hold on their imaginations the three
men turned to stare blankly at one
another.

That is annihilationr' Curtis wills

"On a wholesale scale agreed OAR
row calmly. 1T means the death OF
every living thing from the smallest
insect to the largest animal, from the
microbe to the very lichens on the
stones of Trinity. / agree with the
way you look" He laughed little.
But the case isn't so bad as il
sounds" he went on. IF the crust
of the earth were TO collapse, that
would be humiliation, too. But il
isn't likely to happen. There are sew
eral things to think Of"
What, for the love of Peter
gasped Curtis. ANY small efforts at
undertaking this refrigerator trust
would be thankfully received"
In the first place, as you know,
explained barrow, Ibis power seems
to be limited in certain directions. He
apparently can stop vibrations only of
certain defined wave-lengths at one
time. 1t may be that he is unable to
stop heat vibrations at all"
You'll have to do better than that,
growled Curtis.
The rest is faith-on your part,
replied barrow. For Ill guaranee
that even If Monsieur Y has the power
Ill stop him before he exercises it. y
Guarantee? inquired Curtis.
There's nothing to prevent my
| thought myself in any danger here,
barrow pointed out. 1T would be
very easy for me quietly TO warn my
friends and quietly do the grand
sneak"
True mutered Curtis, rummag-
ing on his desk for a pipe.
THE danger isn't the point-it's the
fear of danger" said barrow.
Curtis looked up, arresting the op-
Grafton of crowding the tobacco into
the pipe bowl.
Suppose that throughout the length
and breadth of this city the idea should
be spread broadcast that at any given
moment il might be destroyed. Can
you imagine the effect?"
Immediate exodus grinned Curtis.
Immediate is a nice -dignified word,
he added.
"Eh@
What in blazeS would 100000 city
people without homes or occupations
dos Where would they GO. What
would happen."
You see what / mean" went on
Darrow, after the slight pause neces-
sary 10 let this sink in. The fear
would bring about a general catastro-
phe only less serious than the fact
itself. It's up to you newspaper men
to see that thew don't catch this fear.
There1l be a hundred letters from
foxy boys with Just enough logic or
imagination to see the possibility of
cutting off the furnace: but without
imagination enough to get the final
effect of telling people about it. Sup
press it. Unless I'm mistaken, the af-
fair will be over in a week"
Curtis drummed thoughtfully on his
desk.

tor of rural sanitation, J. LaBruce

ter the hookworm treatment, letters
are sent to all school trustees, rural
carriers, country merchants, postmas-

pie. When the pubic schools are in
session letters are sent to all the

each cohnty in which survey is made
the directors establish five dispens-
aries, that the treatment may be cas-
lily accessible to persons in the re-
hottest parts Of the county.
