CHAPTER XIX.
Percy Keeps Vigil.

Percy Keeps vigil.
The morning of the third day after
the failure of the search, and Of the
sixth since McCarthys disappearance,
had arrived. During that time Percy
barrow, apparently insensible to IA
tigue, had maintained an almost sleep
less vigil. His meals Jack Warford
brought In to him; he dozed In his
chair or on the couch. Never did he
appear to do anything.
The very persistent quietude of the
man ended by making its impression.
To all questions, however, barrow re-
turned but the one reply, delivered al
ways in a voice full OF raillery:
II couldn't bear to miss single
step of Eldridge's mastery work"

somebody looked hesitatingly into the
room. Instantly Darrow and Jack
were on their feet and In the hall
way.
"Helen!" cried Jack.
What Is It? Anything happened?"
demanded Darrow.
She surveyed them both amusedly.
You certainly look like a frowzy
tramp, Jack" she told her brother ju-
diciously, and you need Sleep" she
informed barrow.
The young scientist bowed ironical-
ly, his long lashes dropping over his
eyes in his accustomed lazy fashion
as he realized that the occasion was
not urgent. Helen turned directly to
him.
when are you going to stop this?"
she demanded.
barrow raised his eyebrows.
"You needn't look at me like that.
You said you could lay your hands on
Monsieur X at any moment; why don't
you do it?"
"Eldridge Is too amusing"
TOO amusing!" echoed the girl.
"All you think of is yourself"
as it?" drawled barrow.
Have you been out In the city?
Have you seen the people? Have yon
seen men out of work? Families leav-
ing their homes? Panic spreading
slowly but surely over a whole city,"
Those pleasures have been denied
me-" said barrow blandly.
The girl looked at him with bright
angry eyes. Her cheeks were glow
Ing. and her whole figure expressed a
tense vibrant life in singular contrast
to the apparent Incidence Of the men
at whom she was talking.
"You are insufferable!" She fairly
stamped her foot in vexation. you

you call this"
Darrow turned to the window look
ing out over the city.
"This!" he said. why, this isn't
harm! There isn't man out there
who IL not better Off for what has hap
pened to him. He has lost little

The quantity Of coal required Ia
