CHAPTER XIV.
The Masked Voice.

For q matter Of twelve hours the
fog, leaden. dank. viscous, as ineXor-
able as the dominion OF evil, had
wrapped the world in an embrace as
foul and noXious as the coils Of some
great gray, Shiny serpent.
Through its sluggish folds the pom
derous, power-impelled lifepoat crept
at snails pace, it's stem parting and
rolling back from either flank heavy
hearted sea of gray.
In the bows a young woman rested
in state of semi-exhaustion, her eyes
closed, he head pillowod on a cork
belt life-preserver, her sodden gar
ments modelled closely to the slender
body that was ever and again shaken
from head to feet with the strength
of long, shuddering respiration.
Seated on the nearest tlwart, Alan
Law, chin in hand, watched over the
rest OF this woman whom he loved
with grimly hopeless solicitude. He
was in no happier case than she, SO
far as physical comfort went-he was
in worse, since he might not rest
Premonition of misfortune darkened
his heart with its impenetrable
shadow.
In the stern Tom Barcus presided
morosely over the steering gear; and

Lacking at once a compass, all no.

The War Tax and Extravaganza.

In certain town the government
is putting up a 100000 post office
building this year. The present post
office quarters have been rented for
$1,000 per year. They are slightly in
adequate, but an addition of a $500
annual rental would give an enlarge
ment sufficient for many years.
When interest on the investment,
up!ieep OF building and extra janitor
service is considered, the government
will be spending about $4,000 a year
for what need not cost them over
$500. This is probably a typical case
of form of extravaganza that has
been going on for years.
1t is now proposed to levy revenue
taxes in order to make up for the Gus
toms deficit due to the war. This tax
will set people to thinking. Public
sentiment will ask why the pork bar

the emergency. 1t will be mistake
for congress to think it can so on and

collect new taxes to meet the deficit.

Two men were running along the

Alan. But his lead was very scant,
and the man who pursued was one OF
Judith's, and stuck to the trail like q
blood hound fresh from the leash.
And now the water was at his lips:
Barcus could no more speak without
strangling.
OF sudden he groaned IN his heart;
though there was no passable way
down tho cliff. still the sight of his
friend alive and unframed had brought
with it thrill of hope; now that hope
died as he saw Alan stumble and go

Yet, to his amaZement, he saw one

With 4 violent effort Barcus lifted
his mouth above water and shrieked:
Alan! Alan! Help! Here-at the

Alan discovered their two heads, SO

For an instant there was silence; by
the scorn of her sister the heat of
Judith's fury had been transformed
into cold and malignant rage. She
controlled herself and her voice mar
velously.

frigid accents. And the light of her
mania leaped and leaped again in her
eyes like living flame. II have pre-

Barcus down to the end of the spit

1t was nearly knee-deep before Bar

backed up to a rock, forced despite his
frenzied resistance to sit down in the
water, and swiftly, with half dozen
deft bitches Of rope and a stanch
knot, made fast in that position-sub-
merged to his chest.
This accomplished, the men turned
attention to Rose, flashing her in SINH

Standing just above the water-line,
with every sign OF complete calm and
sanity other than that ominous flicker

they turned their backs and marched

perhaps had none to waste. When he
looked her way he saw her exquisite
profile unmarried by any line Of fear or

darkness of the rising flood. Her level
gaze without tremor traversed the
shining flood to its far horizon.
He noted that already the waters
had risen more than an inch.
Humbled even in his terror by that
radiant calm that dwelt upon her, he
ventured diftidently: Rose - Miss

The Newark Clubs baseball larder
was enriched today by the addition of
two promising baseball stars. One OF
Bengals a whole lot-Maurice Kent
and the other is an outfelder. the
diminutive Leo Callahan. This Gala
han party is a nifty gentleman with
the furniture used in the laudable in
dustry of manufacturing base hits.
He is something of a hop-o-my-
thumb In his physical makeup, but
he is just as speedy as he IS small
Callahan Is no newcomer In the In
ternational League. He once was with
the Jersey City Shelters, and last
season he shined for time with the
Toronto team. Joe Kelley. however,
is afraid of left-handers and is going
out for right-handed hitters.
Callahan was with the Brooklyn
Club the greater part of last season.
He did good work as a pinch hitter at
times and in the spring he seemed a
fixture in the Brooklyn outfieid. The
Newark Club now has five capable
outfielders in Jack Dalton, Billy Zim-
norman, Leo Witterstaetter, Harry
Myers and Leo Callahan.
While Callahan was with the Maple
Leafs last year, he managed to round
up enough safe drives to come
through with a .305 batting average
Kent won four games and lost four
while with the Kelleyites. The new
Tiger twirler is said to be good deal
like Eft Dent. the former Newark
pitcher, now with Atlanta 1t will be

a good pitcher out of Dent and he
