who had risen and stood beside him,
saw instantly that what he had drawn
from the shelf was the morocco case
that held the rusted due.ing-ptstol! In
the majors hands the broken box
opened. A sudden startled look darted
across his leonine face. With smoth-
cred exclamation he thrust it back
between the books and closed the
glass door.

finding of the weapon had escaped his
mind. Now he read, az clearly as II

1.-The ancestral instinct" said the
doctor. I'm glad to see that it means
something still, in these rotten days"
"Of course" John Valiant continued,
every one knows that he has ances-
tors. But I'm beginning to see that
what you call the ancestral instinct
needs a locality and a place. In a
way 1t seems to me that an old estate
like this has a soul too-a sort OF
clan or family soul that reacts on the
descendant"
Rather a Japanesy idea, isn't it ?"
observed the major. But l know
what you mean. Maybe that's why old
Virginian families hang on to their
land in spite of hell and high-water.
They count their forebears real live
people, quite capable of turning over
in their, graves"
Mine are beginning to seem very
real to me. Though l don't even
know their Christian names yet, I can
judge them by their handiwork. The
men who built Damory Court had
sense of beauty and of art
And their share Of deviltry, too"
put in the doctor.
Il suppose so,' admitted his host
"At this distance 1 can bear even that.
But good or bad, I'm deeply thankful
that they chose Virginia. Since I've
been laid up, I've been browsing in the
library here"
"A bit out of date now, | reckon"

muster. Your grandfather was some

The major nodded, "Ah, yes" he
said. 'The Continental prison-camp."
And just over this rise there can
see an old courthouse, and the Vir-
ginia Assembly boiling under the
golden tongue-lashing of lean raw
boned Patrick Henry. I see messen-

Thirty knst Ships Wait on the Genius
sf Engine Designers.
In the year recently ended we have
seen the last word In modern ship
building appear In New York harbor.
and 1t would perhaps be interesting to
consider the strides made in this GEN.
tury. In 1000 the twenty-three knot
Deutschland won the blue ribbon Of tho
Atlantic, and when the Cunarders with
twenty six knots to their credit obtain
ed the place 1t was prophesied that in a
few years the four day thirty knot boat
would be seen; but, though the sizes OF
ships have increased and shortly tho
giant Imperator will no longer be the
mammoth of the seas. the speed has
dropped. Economy In space, in fuel, in
cost of operation. has compelled halt,
and we seem to have reached for the
moment the practical. highest speed Of
q transatlantic boat.
That the limit Is actually reached is
hardly possible, but the burden Of in
creased speed lies now not with the
ship designer, but with the engine de-
signer. A smaller engine Of higher
speed with some as yet unknown re-
duction gear and we shall have the
thirty knot boat in economical practical
form. The ship can stand 1t. Can the
engine designer design it?-American
