CHAPTER TX.

In the Maeter's Workshop.
The following day was a long one
for Astra; hope, Joy and the expecta-
ton Of seeing the man who was able
to do 30 much made her restless.
Shortly before noon report came
from the z ray generating station adj
vising that peculiar vibration seemed
to be forcing the rays backward. Or
ders were given to establish the new
z zone. also to watch for further dis
turbances and, after lapse OF SIX
hours, to remove the first line Of re-
sistance. leaving the new z ray to
meet the invaders.
Astra was happy indeed when she
descended to the library to await Ma
poleon's arrival Az the hands OF the
chronometer pointed to ten, she list,

the whizzing sound of bullet.

Five minutes later, at an immense
height, a flash occurred. Directly
after the flash spiral light began to
descend, slowly; then, after several
minutes, an explosion followed that
put an end to the dropping spiral OF
fire and above them a small white
cloud puff slowly fell downward.

Captain Euler.
Have you any more?" inquired the
countess.
Il am sorry, madam, but this Is the
last for tonight" answered Chevalier
di Leon, with eyes turned steadily
toward the southeast. They all sat
down, and Captain Euler and the
countess started a conversation IN
which the chevalier refused to take
part; he was watching the sky and
the stars. It was much later than

cage, but he was satisfied at last; he
had seen a star that winked at him
familiarly.
) The next day the countess asked II
they were to have fireworks again, but
the chevalier thought it would lose its
charm If they had the displays too
often. He retired to his room that
evening, complaining of slight head
ache.
Shall call the post doctor?" asked
Captain Euler, but the chevalier de-
clined.
When in his sleeping-room he looked
over the contents of his small baggage
and selected a number of articles that
he packed into one bundle. Then he
left the room.
The reading-room was the one that
was connected with the outer world
by the stairway that ran to the roof.
The chevalier stepped quickly to the
door leading to the corridor and List
ened; he could hear the sentry walk
ing up and down. He saw with salts
faction that the door could be locked
on the inside with key and bolts; then
he examined the door that led to the
roof. It was heavy door, that could
be locked only from the inside. He
silently crept up the stairs and peered
into the Enclosure; under one Of the
plants. In the shade, was the countess
reading. There were a number of
heavy objects with which the door
could be barricaded.
He quietly descended, without being
seen by the countess, and inspected
her room. Apparently finding every
thing to his satisfaction, he picked mn
. book from the table and Joined the
countess.

On the matter of Alaska land sur yeys the report of the commissioner of the general land office to the sec retary of the interior for the fiscal year 1912. says:
 The work of subdiyisional surveys in Alaska, which was suspended for the winter after about 100000 acres had been surveyed by the six parties operating in the field. was resumed at the opening ot the season in June 1912, and is now September in pro gress. but the necessary preHminaries to the actual running of lines. such as the establishment of the camps and arranging for supplies, the identi- ficatiou of starting points, adjust, ment of instruments, and other essen tials. were such as to render the out put for the month Of June inconsid- erable.

 TreadWell

Judge Overfield is sitting in equity today in the case of the Alaska-Gastin- eau Mining Company vs. Alaska. Treadwen Gold Mining Company and associated companies. The action is brought by the plaintiff company to enforce the performance of contract to furnish power from the Sheep creek power plant of the defendant compan- ies.
 The complaint sets forth that de- fendant is not furnishing the power as the contract calls for and that the defendant has certain mechanical contrivance known as a circuit break CT which disconnects the power from the lines when attempt is made to start the machinery designed to use the stated power guaranteed by the contract; also that defendant com pany is measuring the power allotted by said automatic circuit breaker by an ameter when the watmeter is the instrument in common usage for such purpose; that power measurements taken by the former are of less val ue than by the latter; that the plain. tiff is entitled to the necessary surge to strat machinery that will consume less than a given amount of power carried by an electric current under the common usage in such cases.
 The defendants acknowledge the contract and allege that they are full filling it to the letter; that the meas urement system adopted by them is proper; that the automatic circuit breaker is set to disconnect when the maximum amount of power guaran- teed by the contract is passing; that the plaintiff company is not entitled to the momentary surge under the contract
 Both sides claim that they will suf- fer great loss should the court de- eide against them.
 This morning Attorney Shackleford now for the plaintiff, who drew up the contract was on the stand to tes tify on matters having a bearing on the questions involved, brought out through correspondence with R. w. Bradley, representative of the defend ants at the time the contract was drawn.
 Mir. shackleford was followed by Mir. B. L. Thane for plaintiff who has been giving expert testimony all day.
 The points at issue are to decide which is right of the conflicting sys- tens of measuring electric energy and whether or not the plaintiff is entitled to the momentary surge suf- ficient to start machinery that will consume less than the given amount of power guaranteed by the contract.
 The case is now being heard on it's merits and much testimony will like ly be offered before the hearing is finished.
