CHAPTER VIII.
Percy Darrow's Theory.


ID ERcY BARROW in the police
station, where he had been as
signed an unusued office instead
of cell, amused himself reading the
newspapers, of which he caused to be
| brought in a full supply. Theories
had begun to claim their share of
the space which, up to now, the fact
stories had completely monopolized.
Darrow, his feet up, a cigarette de-
pending 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. The most
| elaborate traced out an analogy be-
tween the '+blind spot" in vision and
"a point of rest" in physical manifes-
tations-this point of rest had just
now happened to drift to a crowded
centre, and so became manifest.
Ingenious but fantastic youth"
was Percy Darrow's tribute to the
author, Professor Eldridge, of the
university.
The human interest" stories of
both the evening before and those in
the extras describing the latest freak
in the Atlas building Darrow passed
over with barely a glance. But GER
tain figures he copied carefully into
his notebook. When he had found
all of these and had transcribed
them they appeared about as fol-
lows:
las-wednesday, 5:25. 300 (about)
8 hr. 80 min.
Thursday, 600. 1855 Eek
acD 1 hr. Sc min.
Atlas-Friday, 1910. 1o:4S (exact)
38 min.
On the basis of these latter figures
he made some calculations which
when finished, he looked on with
doubtful satisfaction.
Need more statistics" said he to
himself, before 1 can pose as a
prophet" Just now I'm merely a
guesser."
| But now it was afternoon An Off
cial came to announce visitors, and
a moment later Helen and her broth
| er came in. AS Percy's case was
merely one of detention, or for some
| other obscurer reason, known only
to those who took their orders from
Mccarthy, the three were left alone
to their own devices.
At the sight of Helens trim. tailor
clad figure Percy's expression bright
ened to what, in his case, might al
most be called animation. He sweep
aside the accumulation of papers ant
made room for both. After the frs
greetings and EXPLANATIONS Helen de
manded to know particulars ant
prospects.
"All right. I'll tell you," agreed
LDarrow. I'm thought out; and

Jack looked about him uneasily.

DEOPLE'S
L ROSTRUM
Anti-snfrrnge Argument.

Anti-Suffrage Argument.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-In reading over the arguments
for and against woman's suffrage, I
have failed to see any substantial
reasons given why women should
vote. In the divine order of things
the fact is evident that the higher
the order of animal life the more
distinct is the difference in sex and
the more marked are the differences
of function The happiness or woe
of human life is largely based on our
admiration, love and duty to those
who are our opposite in sex, viz,
father, mother, husband, wife,
brother, sister, lover and sweetheart.
tons chief cornerstone, then the es-
sential elements of the home should
be sacredly guarded.
The duties and responsibilities of
the different members who constitute
the home are not identical, never
were. and from natural conditions
never can be. The sacredness of the
wife and mothers position does not
warrant her to become a politician,
or to assume masculine ag-
gressiveness in order to Sc
cure her rightful position or
to advance the interests which ma
terially affect her material welfare.
Woman's power is always most po-
tent when robed in gentleness. There
is only one ultimate result If women
vote, that is, to oppose father, hus-
band, brother and son--to antagonize
instead of harmonic. To encourage
further dissension and strife in our
domestic relations when we now have
100000 divorces a year in this coun-
try, is a crime. To precipitate a sex
war is deplorable, when no just cause
is at stake, for war is the business of
few at the sacrifice and cost of the
many and innocent.
The restless advocates of woman
suffrage are the icebergs on life's
matrimonial sea. floating about to
chill and wreck the happiness of
peaceful voyagers. If these distufbers
of the peace, who love the limelight,
and strive to be spectacular, would
use their efforts in a womanfy man
ner for the more needed reforms, the
world would be the better for 1t.

wood. A couple of weeks after the
delicately speckled greenish-blue eggs
are laid the young appear. and in the
strenuous care of family both par
ents find little time for anything
else. When the youngsters are able
to care for themselves the father
slips away out of sight, and we are
tempted to think he has started on
the return journey southwark. But
he is only changing his nuptial coat
for one of green. During this tram
sition he assumes a remarkable dap

due to the scarlet feathers being sup

partial to oak woods and spends
hours hunting industriously certain
small worm found among the young
oak leaves. At other times he sits
quietly on a branch in an absorbed
sort of way, and, taken all in all, is
modest, unassuming and minds his
own business. Indeed, he is so pre-

near approach without taking alarm.
These birds are very susceptible to
cold and are sometimes so benumbed
by a sudden drop in temperature as
to permit their being taken in the
