1ubilanuy by all the papers as indi-
eating that at last the quarry had
become alarmed by the near-coming
search. From the contracted district
still remaining to be combed over, no
body was permitted to depart; and SO
closely was the Gordon drawn by SO
large posse that 1t was physically
impossible for any living being to slip
by the line.
Thus even II Monsieur X, convinced
that at last his discovery was immi-
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
come assured.
1t was an army deployed in an irreg-
ular circle, and moving inward toward
tive ability commanded it, saw to its
necessary deliberation, eliminated all
possibility of 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 a 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

CHAPTER XVII.
Drawing the Net.

The zone of danger" as the Bulle-
tin named 1t, was Immediately the
scene of swarming activities. Besides
the expedition Immediately despatched
by the interests backing the investi-
cation, several enterprising newspa-
pers saw a fine chance for big scoop.
and sent out much-heralded parties of
their own. The activities of these
were well 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
conveniences and fun of the menacing
messages that now came in by the
dozen.
1t was necessary to take extraordi-
nary precautions against thieves and
fire; the people took them.
The public delivered itself joyously
to a debauch of rumors and of "ex-
tras." The insistent alarms of danger.
trickling in slowly from the outside
world. dried up in the warmth of
optimism. Only the more thoughtful.
to a few of whom these warnings
came. coupled them with Monsieur KS
repeated threats. and walked uncer-
tain and in humility.
Percy Darrow did not interest him
self in the search, nor did he desert
his post in the wireless Office. There
he did nothing whatever. Jack War
ford stayed with him, but immensely
bored, It must be confessed.
Thus there passed two days of the
search. On the third day the intermit-
tent phenomena and the messages sud
denly ceased. This fact waz hailed

Dockyard of Solid Rock.

The New South Wales government
dockyard on Cockatoo island in sgd
ney harbor is hewn out Of solid rock
Historically. Cockatoo island is OF
much interest, ls it was the site of a
large prison in the days when. British
convicts were deported to Australia
The present Offices on the island are
in the old prison buildings. the stone
walls, barred windows and iron-doored
cells being still in evidence. The for
nation of the island was originally
quite unsuitable for a dockyard. as
the solid rock rose sheer from the
water to a height OF 60 to 20 feet.
By using convict labor. however, the
rock was gradually cut back. first to
permit the building of craving docks
and later to make room for building
slips and shops near the water level
The work has been continued until
at present two-thirds of the total area
of 33 acres has been brought to
practically uniform level Of about u

peared. The crowds below read them.
their faces upturned. One ran:
Gordon now has surrounded the CREST
of the Knob. Station of Monsieur x de-
termined among oak-trees. Men halted
Picked company surrounds"
The crowd roared its appreciation
and impatience. A long pause followed.
Then came the next bulletin.
Search discovers nothing"
A puzzled angry murmur arose. con-
fused and chopped, like cross currents
in tideway. Finally this was hung
out:
mo traces of human occupancy"
A moments astonished pause en-
sued. Then, over the vast multitude.
its faces upturned in incredulous
amazement; over the city lying spark
ling in the MONDAY sun fell the pail
of absolute darkness.
In the wireless office of the Atlas
Building Percy Darrow laughed.
