 Good boy, Jack" said be. That is just the point I could not be sure about. But finally. at the time, you will remember. when 1 predicted Nc Carthy's disappearance. Monsieur X made a definite threat&He ssid." ob served DaTrow, consulting one of the bundle oTpapers he held in his hand:
 My patience is at an end. Your last warning will be sent you at nine thirty this morning If you do not sail on the Celtic at noon, l shall strike and so forth. The Celtic sailed at noon, without Mccarthy At twelve thirty came the first message to the people calling on them to deliver uI the traitor that is among you How did Monsieur X know that Mccarthy had not sailed on the Celtic? The an Bwer is now unavoidable: either ar accompiice must have sent him word to that effect, or he must have deter mined the fact for himself q
 T eliminated the hypothesis of ar accompiice on the arbitrary ground oi plain common sense. They don't grow two such crazy men at once; and one srazy man is naturally too suspicious to hire help 1 took it for granted. Had to make a guess somewhere; but, contrary to our legal friends, be heVe that enough coincidences indf cate certainty. But If Monsieur X himself saw the Celtic sail without Mccarthy. and got back to his instru- nHFFf hfp h,T dent he could not be quite so far away as Eldridge and the rest of them thought"
 One thing" spoke up Jae-, T often wondered what you whispered to Sim. mons to induce him to pass these mes sages over to you. Mind telling?"
 Not bit. Simmons is an excep tsonal man. He has nerve and intel ligence. just pointed out to him the possibility that Monsieur x might have control over heat vibrations. He saw the public danger at once, and realized that McCarthy's private rights in those messages had suddenly become very small"
 Jack nodded "Go ahead" said he,
 q had already" proceeded Darrow, found out where the next wireless |. station is located. Monsieur X must be nearer the Atlas station than to this other. It was, therefore, easy to draw a comparatively small circle within which he must be located"
 50 far so good" said Helen. How did you finally come to the conclusion that Monsieur \ was in the next of feet"
 Do you remember" Darrow asked Jack. 'how the curtain of darkness hung about ten or twelve feet inside the corridor of the Atlas Building?"
 Sure replied Jack.
 And do you remember that while the rest of you, including EldrIdge, were occupied rather childishly with the spectacular side of it, had dss- appeared inside the blacknsss?" 9"
 Certainly" 2
 Well, in that time determined the exact extent of the phenomena. found that it extended tn a rough circle. And when l went outside and looked up-something every one else was apparently too busy to dol saw that this phenomenon of darkness also extended above the building. out into open space. At the moment I poted tke fact merely, and tried to fix in my own mind approximately the di. mensionS. Then here is another point: when the city-wide phenomena took place, I again determined their extent. To do so l did not have to leave my chair. The papers did it for me. They took pains to establish the farthest points to which these modern plagues of Manhattan reached"
 Darrow selected several clippings from his bundle of papers-
 Here are reports indicating High. bridse, Corona, Flatbush, AorTisanis, Fort Lee, Bay Ridge as the farthest points at which the phercmena weFs manifested. IL occurred to nobody to connect these poiats with a pencil line. If that line fs made curved, fn- stead of straight, 1t will be found to constitute a complete circle whose center is the Atlas Bsilainsi"
 The audience broke into exelar1a, tious.
 Going back to my foxnsr iBpres- slons, I remembered that the pail of biactness extended this far and that far in the various directions. so that 1t required not much imagination to visualize tt as a sphere of darkness And strangely enough the center of that sphere seemed to be located somewhere near the floor on which was installed the United Wireless instru- raents. It at once became probable that what we may call the nuIiifying impulses radfatsd in all directions through the ether from their sending instTome1t-
 Next I called upon the janitor of the Atlzs Building, representing my self as looking for a suitable office from which to conduct my investiga- ttans. In this manner I gained aduzts- sion to all uurented offices. All were empty. I then asked after the one next door, but was told it vas rented as 6 storenoom by an eccentric gen tleman now away on his travels That s-as snor-h. cag k-aZ- that Ee haA
