prompted him to cut off the power of
the gyroscope and stop. He did SO;
then, looking ahead, he saw that a
section of the line had been removed
and cunningly replaced with painted
clay. To have struck that at his
tremendous speed would have meant
instant death.
Once again, rushing through a long
defile in the Rockies, he encountered
new stone wall, built straight across
the metals at a bend In the track.
The mortar was still damp on it.
Had he run into that he would have
been smashed into nothingness. But
his enemies did not know how swift
ly the gyroscope could be halted and
Haynes escaped with nothing worse
than a few bruises.
They barred the roads and railway
lines, they herded him, forewarned
by all the subtle agencies in the pos
session of a, government, into bar
rem, rocky region among the Cumber-
lands. All round the hills, at every
mountain pass, armed guards were
stationed. He had a territory of
twelve square miles in which to rove,
but he could not cross those boun-
daries that daily drew closer round
him. At first he laughed at the fu-
tility of this pursuit. How could they
stcip him, when, at rate of speed
incredibly swifter than that of the
fastest train, he could dash through
them on the roads?
Then, all at once, he understood the
governments design. He needed
gasoline to replenish his engine.
Cleared though the gyroscope was to
run on minute consumption, still,
the motor needed fuel. And there
was no gasoline within this region;
no automobile came there; it was q
land of barren pines and inhospitable
mountains and valleys in which few
poor mountaineers eked out a
wretched existence on their little hill
side farms.
Haynes strobe one day into one of
the most wretched of these cabins.
Under his coat he had strapped his
gyroscope. He impersonated tramp
and he was little more. He asked
for food and shelter.
With the hospitable instincts OF
their kind, they set before him corn.
meal and milk. When he had eaten,
the mother and her two daughters
offered him the shelter of the almost
roofess barn in which they stocked
the scant cuttings from their fields.
Worn out from WEAKNESS, Haynes
crept into the hay
He dared not sleep, however, for
he knew that the Gordon round him

SAD ENDING OF EXPERIMENT

Human Nature.

This is the story of a great expert
ment that failed. 1t also puts George
w Honesty down for the count,
though it proves that the usual male
moving picture fiend-but that's where
the story begins.
In the movie district around Ninth
street there is certain theater whose
manager is a humanitarian idealist.
He smokes himself, and it is like iron
In his soul to see scores of his male
patrons regretfully toss their half
smoked cigars into the street before
going. inside his theater Recently he
went to the trouble of arranging a
wire basket in front of his place, and
above it was this genial sign:
LEAVE YOUR CIGARS HERE"
On the first afternoon five men
planked down their nickels and went
inside when the theater opened Five
cigars, all strangers to each other,
lay side by side in various stages of
decline. One was Pittsburgh stogie,
well chewed; one was half Unfinished
five-center, and the next two were
of the ten-cent type. Last of all there
was magnificent, plethoric product
with a fine gold and red band about
its stomach. 1t was cigar that fair

The show was not yet over when
square, bony man came out and
viewed the array speculatively. Then
he picked up the aristocrat, smelled
it and walked off, The next man
drifted out and helped himself to q

came out. The Pittsburgh stogie re-

Then there emerged from the thea

of the good cigar. He walked to the

And when the guard wasn't looking

to the house. Inside the kitchen the
woman spelled out the large print on
a placard, while the girls leaned over
her shoulder, listening eagerly.
Haynes, crouching near, peered
through the open window near which
the woman sat and saw his photo
graph and several black. heavy lines
of type
He was wanted for murder and
there was a reward of two thousand
dollars posted in all the mountain
villages. The government had not
told of the gyroscope on this placard;
they had confined their statements
to the fewest words possible:
WANTED, JOHN HAYNES, FOR
MURDER" read the text under the
photograph. Then followed his per-
sonal description. He had read the
poster long before the mother had
spelled it out. word by word to the
listening girls. Then he crept into
the shadows of the barn and waited,
in his hand a rusty scythe which he
had picked up from some spot in
which it had been thrown, discarded
Ten minutes later the elder girl
came tripping out. She was about
eighteen, pretty, simple-looking. Her
bare feet made no noise over the
grass-grown ground between the
house and the barn. She came to
the door and looked in cautiously.
Haynes feigned to sleep. and after
moments watching, the girl with
drew. She did not go back to the
house, however, but toward the
wagon road which led through the
pass toward Hendricksville.
The bitterness of it gripped the
mans heart and for the first time
since he had accomplished his re-
venge he felt that old insane anger
grip him again. What had he done
that he should be tricked on every
side? Was there no honesty, no hon.
or anywhere. that even these simple
people should attempt to trap him for
the sake of the few dollars that had
been placed on his head? He clutched
the scythe furiously, sprang to the
door and called to her.
She started as he called and looked
back fearfully. Haynes stood upon
the sill of the barn, the scythe hid
den behind him. There was no mem
ace in his voice. for he meant to use
cunning and not alarm the rest-but
he would hack the life out of this
treacherous human thing that sought
his own. It was only an instant till
the insane mood passed. When she
stood near him and he looked into
her childish face, the eyes downcast
in shame at the part that she had
been assigned to play. the anger fad
ed out of the mans heart and he let
his scythe drop noiselessly into the
straw.

land. adjoined the cable station, felt
shock which threw him from his
chair. The walls Quivered, cloud OF
plaster fell from the roof Picking
himself up, he rushed outside to
learn what had happened. His first
thoughC was that there had been a
landslide; his second that this was
an earthquake.
When he looked into the machine
house from which the cable issued
he saw that everything was wrecked.
In the twisted tangle of machinery
we're the still whirring fragments OF
a wheel. And over all was q singular
plate OF metal, seventeen feet long
and some two inches in thickness,
smooth as though 1t had been made
to form the top OF q billiard table.
It was impossible to say of what 1t
was composed. From the fact that
iron entered largely into its compost
ton the theory was subsequently adj
vanced that this was meteor, which,
mysteriously flattened, had fallen into
the engine house.
Yet, since the roof was intact, it
must have come through the small
aperture in the floor by which the
cable descended. Scientists then pro-
pounded the theory that the meteor.
falling at a tangent to the earth. and
skimming its circumference for many
thousand miles, until flattened by at
mospheric friction, had plunged into
the machine house at that angle of
half degree. The pieces of the
wheel did not fit into this theory, so
they ignored them.
This exhibit, which was a nine
days wonder at that time, was soon
forgotten. It rests now in the Tech
nical Museum in Dublin, and Is chief
ly of interest as being the hardest
substance known. The compression
to which 1t was subjected during its
passage through space must have
been intellectually strong, the cata-
logue says. Nobody knows that this
metallic slab forms the sarcophagus
of man, whose mortal remains lie
imprisoned in those two inches.

John Haynes had fulfilled all the
purposes which had inspired him
when he made his escape from the
state penitentiary at Nokomis Falls.
BY means Of the powerful gyroscope
which he had invented, he hunted
down those enemies who had flung
aim into prison upon a trumped-up
charge; he had discovered the wife
and daughter who had been torn from
aim, and he had placed them in each
others arms. Then, since his wife,
believing him dead, had married
again, and because the stains Of blood
which he had shed in the accomplish
ment of his revenge lay on his soul,
40 did not dare reveal himself to the
woman to whom he was still legally

whether it were bound to the feet or
attached to an automobile or any 9TH
sr medium of locomotion, none could
successfully pursue him, had he but
moments warning. But now he
wanted only to rest, to be alone, to

which he had dedicated his life, he

coined death. But he was still COM
2aratively a young man; death seemed
!ntolerably remote. He did not know
what he would do. He rested, wait
ing till the plan came to him.
His rest was not destined to be a
long one. The stories Of his deeds
Aad become common property
throughout the length and breadth OF
The land. The government had taken
up the pursuit which his enemies
had abandoned perforce when their
rate met them. Haynes was pub

could never hope to do, the power OF
the nation might accomplish. Each

IN the work; the railroad companies,
the telegraph companies, scores OF de-

him. Haynes never knew where the
blow was likely to fall.
