warning go the way of all similar ones
in the past. And In that moment he
felt a resentfulness arise within him
such as he had never felt before-a
resentful hope that the prophecy
would come true regardless OF conse-
quences; that these giants Of space
should meet like two battering rams
In a crash which would echo to the
stars the accuracy of his judgment.
the fulfllment of his prophecy, the
verifcation OF his sanity. True, thou
sands and perhaps millions of lives
would be destroyed in the colossal
grind, but what of IT. They must
soon die anyway in the natural order
of things, and II the master of space
had sent this special thunderbolt
against them, that in itself was proof
good enough that It was time for them
to perish, else the bolt would not have
been sent. Then quickly following
this came a great flush Of shame that
colored his cheeks to even deeper
scarlet. and he felt like flaying him
self with lash of scorpions as PEN
ance for his fash of savagery. He
grasped the menu card, and scarcely
looking at it began to order almost
at random Half way through 1t a
messenger boy burst upon him with
a score of kilograms, and forgetful
of his dinner he tore them open and
began to read. They we're from all
parts of the city, the country, the
state-even the United States. They
were from friends and acquaintances.
They were from men and women Of
whose very existence he had never
heard. They were from plebeians and
millionaires, from ministers and
statesmen. from lawyers, doctors, sci
entists, priests. They derided and
they threatened, they upbraided,
begged, prayed and implored. In the
midst of them he came upon this one
sent by the chief at Washington:
Desmond, care Peak Observatory:
Make no more statements to the
press regarding threatened collision
until you have heard from me further.
II your prediction Is fulfilled this bu-
reau will be destroyed by an act OF
the Almighty, If 1t is not fulfilled the
bureau will die of shame. In either
case you seem to have settled us.
"HEADMANN, CHIEF"
His face gone white now, he crushed
the mass of sheets into a ball, and,
arising, left the room with his dinner
forgotten thing. Walking as though
In a trance and seeing the curiosity
filled faces about him but mistily he
seized a wrong hat and plunged I'M
certainly into the street, thoughtless
of where he should go.

his eyes fixed upon the floor as he
pondered over his own position. One
of three consequences must happen
to him. If he was suffering from a
delusion he was, as the press man
had said, ruined man, disgraced,
discredited; and the jeers of the
world would ever ring in his ears,
while if he was correct and the i'm
pact took place he would either be
crushed like fly beneath a mountain.
or surviving by some miracle, find him
self among the most famous of men.
Verify he was in the hands of des-
tiny so colossal that all the armies
and navies of the world and all its
teeming billions of humanity to back
them were as impotent as swarm of
gnats to alter 1t, and arising with a
face the color of wet ashes he placed

quickly back, the newspaper mans
instinct now dominant.
Certainly l will use it with all the
pleasure in the world-well, not exact

what will happen to you If l scatter

The crash Of the newspaper mans
receiver at the far end of the wire
and the blank silence which followed
told Desmond that the other had dart
ed away for the telegraph key, and
hanging up his own instrument he
wiped his forehead and for a moment
sat lost in thought over what he had
done. He had staked his jealousy
guarded professional reputation upon
one of the widest improbabilities
known to science, and come what
might, it was now too late to recall
his actions. Nor would he have done
so If he could, for unless he was the
victim of some unaccountable hallu-
cination he knew that he was not
mistaken, and useless though he had
believed 1t to be to warn the world
against a calamity wherein mankind
would be as helpless as ants, he had
yet considered 1t to be his duty to pos
sess them with such facts as he had
learned. Yet now in the reaction the
colossal magnitude and unbelievable
wonder of 1t all dazed him, and he
leaned back weakly In his chair with

tiers came the insistent throbbing of
the drums of the Salvationists, the
exhorting of the Adventists and the
fervent shouts of the self-ordained
curbstone preachers as they cajoled
or threatened the populace in the
name of impending and universal
doom to come to them, be blessed and
saved, or failing to do so pass ON to
everlasting torment. Wandering down
street after street, frequently turning
corners with the zig-zag instinct of the
pursued, Desmond for the first time
became thoroughly imbued with the
magnitude of the movement which his
voice had started. He saw men reel
ing from saloon to saloon and mo-
mentarily becoming more drunken up,
on the strength Of his announcement
that this would probably be their last
night of earthly life. He saw scrub

TO ENCOURAGE CORN GROWING.
Plans For the Next State Corn Show

Plans For the Next State Corn Show
Being Made-List of Premium Offered.
At a recent meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Delaware Corn
Growers Association plans for the Sc
venth annual State Corn Show were
considered. The time and place of
holding the corn show will be an
nounced later. This year the AS
sOciatiOn is in a position to offer ex-
ceptional inducements in the way of
prizes for the best exhibits of grain.
The appropriation OF $500 annually
to the Delaware Corn Growers Asso-
citation, made by the recent Legisla-
ture, will greatly advance the work.
1t is the plan of the association to
widen the scope of the State Corn
Show and encourage the exhibition Of
small grains and grass seeds as well
as Of corn. Aside from the Delaware
prizes, premiums amounting to $3.50
are offered by the Corn Exchange
Bank Of Philadelphia for the best To-
ear samples Of corn grown in Della
ware. In all about $3.50 will be
spent this year to stimulate the pro-
ductiOn Of ''mOre and better grain"
for Delaware. Premiums will be
offered for the following crops: For
the best 10-ear and 5O-ear samples
Of corn Of the differnt colors; for the
best peck samples of wheat. oats,
rye, soy beans, COW peas, field beans.
buckwheat. timothy, red clover seed,
and crimson clover seed; for the best
sheaf samples Of wheat, oat and for
age. The Association will offer sub
stantial prizes for the largest yields OF
corn per acre on an average Of not
less than FIVE acres, produced at the
minimum cost per acre. Thus the
cost as we'll as the yield per acre will
determine the winner. All growers
who decide to enter this contest should
apply to Secretary A. f. Grantham,
Newark, Del. for registration blanks.
Competitors must be registered be,
fore June 1st. The yield contest viii

at Work in Sussex County.

POstOfiice Inspector Plummer and

were in Georgetown Thursday inves-
tigating the attempted robbery at the
local pOstoffice a few days ago. They
also looked over the two suspects held
but after a careful investigation they
decided that the men were not impli-
Gated in the job. The suspects, who
gave their names as Jack" Landey
Of Wilmington aud "Billy" Burk of
Philadelphia, were recognized by both
POstoffiee Inspector Plummer and
Lieut.. Doris as being weil-known
characters about the "coast" in Will
mington. The men told the officers
that they were on their way from
Wilmington to the lower part of the
State to pick berries when they were
arrested. AS the men were caught
on railroad property they were SEN
fenced to five days Imprisonment on
the charge of trepassing. The three
suspects who were arrested a few
days ago at Selbyville we're also look
ed over by Inspector Plumner and
Lieut.. Doris. They were stripped
and carefully searched. but nothing by
which tney could be connected with
the attempted robbery was found in
their possession, so they were releas-
ed from custody. The pOstOiiice au-
thorities have been assisted in their
search for the robbers by both the
State Detective Thomas and Lieut..
Doris of the Pennsylvania Railroad d
Co. have both given the postDffice au-
thorities much valuable assistance

purchasing a license today cannot use
it for "a hours. and a nonresident

Armstrong, who for some unaceount-

having barely reached his majority
has seen much Of the seamy, sordid-
side Of life as a reporter on a Phila-

no apostle Of joy. On the contrary
all the sketches have that sombre
