CHAPTER XVII.
Drawing the Net.

The zone OF danger" as the Bulle-
tin named It, was Immediately the
scene Of swarming activities. Besides
the expedition Immediately despatched
by the interests backing the investi-
cation, several enterprising newspa-
pers saw fine chance for big SCOOP
and sent out much-heralded parties Of
their own, The activities of these
were we'll reported, you may be sure.
Public interest was at once focused
reassuringly on the chances Of finding
the annoying malefactor today or to-
morrow; there no longer existed a
doubt that he would be found. The
weight Of dread was lifted, and in the
reaction people made light of the in
conyeniences and fun of the menacing
messages that now came in by the
dozen.
1t was necessary to take extraordi-
nary precautions against thieves and
hre; the people took them. 1t was
needful to slacken business in order
that the congestion OF the rush hour
might not again prove tragic; business
was slackened. People were Willing
to undergo many things, because, after
all, they were but temporary. Tho
mailman Of the Catskills would sooner
or later be found; his pernicious activ-
tiles brought TO a conclusion. The
country TO be searched was tremen-
dous. OF course, but the search was
thorough.

close about the table to examine the

had drawn the circles.

didactically. ANY more than we are
able to define the precise nature of
electricity. But, as in the case OF cleo
tricity, we can observe the action OF
Its phenomena. Two salient features
leap out at us: one is that these phe-
nomena are limited In time; the other
that they are limited in space. The
latter aspect we will examine, II you
please. gentlemen.
The phenomena have been directed
with great accuracy (a) at the Atlas
Building; OBJ at this city and some

ARE not the people and buildings be-
tween here and the unknown operator
affected? The only hypothesis we are
justified in working upon is that the
mans apparatus is at a height suffi-
Client TO carry over intervening OBJ
stacles. This hypothesis is strength
ened by the collateral fact that the
territory we have just determined as
that within which he must be found
lies In the highlands of our own and
neighboring states. We may, there
fore. eliminate the low-lying districts
within our radius"
Percy Darrow opened one eye.
Perhaps he's up in a balloon" he
drawled languidly; better take along
an aeroplane."
Eldridge cast him a look of cold
scorn; Darrow closed one eye.

Thus there passed two days Of the
search. On the third day the intermit-
tent phenomena and the messages sud.
denly ceased. This fact was hailed
jubilantly by all tho papers as indi.
eating that at last the quarry had
become alarmed by the nearcoming
search. From the contracted district

body was permitted to depart: and SO
closely was the Gordon drawn by so
large a posse that It was physically
impossible for any living being to slip
by the line.
Thus even If Monsieur X, convinced
that at last his discovery was inmi-
nent, should destroy his apparatus or
attempt to move it and himself to a
place of safety, he would find his es-
cape cut off. Thousands of men were
employed, and thousands more drafted
in as volunteers to render this out

IL was an army deployed in an irreg-
ular circle, and moving inward toward
Its center. Men of the highest execu-
tive ability commanded il, saw to it's
necessary elaboration, eliminated all
possibility of a confusion through
which any man could slip. The occa-
sion was serious, and it was taken
seriously.
OF the outcome no one in touch with
the situation had moments doubt.
The messages and the phenomena had
continued to come from the danger
zone. 1t was of course evident that
they could not have been sent from
any portion of the zone actually
searched and occupied by the search
ers. The remaining portion of the
zone, from which they were still com
Ing, had been completely surrounded.
After that the manifestation had
ceased. Therefore, Monsieur X must
be within the beleaguered circle. To
add to the probabilities, as Eldridge
pointed out, the remaining district
compressed the highest hills in the
zone-a fact on all fours with his by
pothesis.
On the appointed morning the army
moved toward the center. Men beat

brought In to him; he dozed in his
chair or on the couch. Never did he

The very persistent quietude of the

front row, that the army might not

the shouting, rose and wheeled.
In the city immense crowds watched
the bulletins sent momentarily from
the very field itself by private wires
strung hastily for the occasion. En-.
terprising journals had prepared huge
rough maps, on which the contracting
circle was indicated by red lines, con-
stantly redrawn. It was discovery be-
fore a multitude. The imagination Of
the public, fired by it's realization of
this fact, stretched itself ahead of the
distant heaters, bodying forth what
they might find.
AS the circle narrowed excitement
grew. All business ceased. The streets
were crowded; the windows Of the
buildings looking out on the numerous

Eldridge had now come to the con-
