Helen, I'VE have here three strange
happenings comprising two phenome-

first in the Atlas Building, second in
the city at large; and the cutting off
OF sound in the Atlas. Although we
are, of course, not justified in general
izing from one instance, what would
you think by analogy would be the
next thing to expect?"
That sound would be cut off in the

the ultimate cause. Naturally this

CHAPTER Viii.
Percy Darrow's Theory.


Percy barrow in the police station.
where he had been assigned an unused
office instead OF a cell, amused him
self reading the newspapers, of which
he caused to be brought in a full sup
ply. Theories had begun to claim
their share of the space which. up to
now, the fact stories had completely
monopolized. barrow, his feet up. a
cigarette depending from one corner
OF his mouth read them through to
the end. Then he INDUCED the white
walls OF his little apartment with one
OF his slow smiles. The simplest of
the theories had to do with comets

For two or three words further his
mouth and throat went through the

overspread his countenance. He sank
back into his chair. Percy Darrow

GETTING THE BEST IN LIFE
TO Sc Able to Grow Old Gracefully
and Win Profit Is an Accomplish
ment Indeed.

On his seventy-ffth anniversary,
feeling fine and active, John Wanna
maker said:
"1here is one compensation for q
long life. 1t is possible to fill up
ones life so that the years upon your
brow and the feelings in your heart
are not on speaking TERMS"
That is commonplace enough in
that it has been often said. But it
Is a great truth and worth repeat
ing.
One of the triumphs of the last
half-century has been the gradual
conqucring of age. Despite the ten
dency Of rush and hurry, it is still
true that men are no longer old at
The age which was held to be old
half century ago.
The thing that makes age deplor-
able is the lack of human interest.
A mans years mean nothing SO long
as he is still vitality concerned in life.
interested in the days work, in the
common problem of humanity, and
participates mentally at least in the
movements of his time.
The man whose mind and heart do
not share in the common inheri-
tances Of humanity is old at any
age, for he is not living.
TO bring to old age the vital en-
thusiasm Of youth, mellowed and
glorlded and substantiated by the
experience Of years, and subdued but
not chastened or defeated by the wis
dom and patience and tolerance Of
calmer days, is to know the best Of
life, a vigor that is not volatile, and
a serenity that is not dull.

CHAPTER VII.
A World of Ghosts.

A deathly stiffness had all at once
fallen like a blanket, plotting out Nc
Carthy's violent speech The rafting
typewriter in the next room was
abruptly stilled The roar of the city
died as living creature is cut by the
sword-all at once. without the transit
tionary running down of most silences.
Absolute dense stiffness, like that of a
sea calm at night took the place of
the customary city noises. In his as
constituent Mccarthy thrust a heavy
inkstand of the edge of his desk 1t
hit the floor, spilled, rolled away; but
noiselessly. as would the inkstand In
moving picture.
To have ones world thus suddenly
stricken dumb, to be transported oral
ly from the roar of n city to the peace
Of woodland or a becalmed sea is
certainly astonishing enough.
But this silence was particularly ter
rifying to both Mccarthy and Jack
Warford, though neither would have
been able to analyze the reason for its
weirdness. For silence is in reality a
composite OF many lesser noises. In q

BROUGHT EXPERIMENT TO END
Amateur Miner Was Doing Well, but

son Was Necessary.

"Mothar7 Jones, the miners
friend, told reporter during an
interview in New York a mining
story she had brought back from the
Virginia coal fields.
"There was once a miners wife, :"
said Mother Jones, "who complained
about the paucity of her husbands
earnings. She imputed this paucity
to Incidence. She declared that if
she had job down in the mines she
could earn more herself.
"The miner tried to explain TO his
wife that mining didn't consist solely
of digging coal-that there were a
lot of other necessary operations that
ate up great deal of time.
But his wife insisted that he
must be lazy; so he asked her by way
of illustration, to do little mining
herself-to try to get the bricks out
from underneath the fireplace.
"She agreed She fell to vigorous
ly on the bricks with a small pick.
Her husband timed her. Soon she
