CHAPTER XIII.


For his share in the foregoing Percy
barrow WIS extensively blamed. It
was universally conceded that his &C
ton in permitting Monsieur K to CON
tinue his activities up to the danger
point was inexcusable The public
mind should have been treasured long
before. Much terror and physical suf-
fering might thus have been avoided
not to speak of financial loss. Scien-
tific men, furthermore, went frantic
over his unwarranted destruction of
the formulas. Percy barrow was va
riously described as a heartless mon
ster and scientific vandal. To these
aspersions he paid no attention what
ever.
Helen Warford, however, became
vastly indignant and partisan, and in
consequence Percy Darrow's course in
the matter received from her its full
credit for a genuine altruism. Hal
lowell, also, held persistently to this
point, as far as his editors would per-
NIT him, until at last, the public mind
was somewhat Gained, attention was
more focused on the means by which
the man had reached his conclusions
rather than on the use Of them he
had made.
The story was told three times by
it's chief actor: once to the newspa-
pers, once to the capitalists from whom
he demanded the promised reward,
and once to the Warfords. This last
ha
interesting.
1t was of a late afternoon again.
The lamps were lighted, and tea was
forward. Helen was manipulating the
cups, Jack was standing ready to pass
them, Mr.. and Mrs. Warford sat in
the background listening, and Darrow
lounged gracefully in front of the fire.
From the beginning!" Helen was
commanding him, "and expect inter-
r1ptions"
Well" began Darrow. its a little
difficult to get started. But let's be-
gin with the phenomena themselves.

exhausted or emptied. You have read
Eldridge's reasoning as to why he
thought Monsieur K was at a distance
and on a height He took as the
basis of his reasoning one fact in con-
nectiOn with the wireless messages
we were receiving they were
faint, and therefore presumably far
distant or sent by a weak battery. He
neglected, or passed over as an i'm
portant item of tuning, the further
fact that the instrument in the Atlas
Building was the only instrument to
receive Monsieur KS messages.
Now, that fact might be explained
either on the very probable SUPPOSE
ton that our receiving instrument
happened in what we may call its I'M
dertones to be the only one tuned to
the sending instrument of Monsieur
K; or it might be because our instru-
ment was nearer Monsieur KS instru-
ment than any other. This was I'M
likely because of the quality Of the
sound 1t sounded to the expert op-
orator as though it came from dis
lance. Nevertheless, it was g posi-
bility. Taken by itself. it was not
nearly so good a possibility as the
other. Therefore, Eldridge chose the
other.
There were a number Of other
strictly scientific considerations Of
equal Importance do not hesitate to
say that IL had been influenced only

thirty this morning. If you do not
sail on the Celtic at noon, shall
strike, and so forth. The Celtic sailed
at noon, without Mccarthy. At twelve
thirty came the first message to the
people calling on them to deliver up
the traitor that Is among you How
did Monsieur x know that Mccarthy
had not sailed on the Celtic? The an
swer is now unavoidable: either an
accomplice must have sent him word
to that effect, or he must have deter
mined the fact for himself.
Il eliminated the hypothesis Of an
accomplice on the arbitrary ground OF
plain common sense. They don't grow
two such crazy men at once; and one
crazy man is naturally too suspicious
to hire help. I took 1t for granted
Had to make a guess somewhere; but.
contrary to our legal friends, I be-
Iieve that enough condolences indi-
cate q certainty. But if Monsieur x
himself saw the Celtic sail without
Mccarthy, and got back to his instru-
ment within a half-hour, it was evil
dent he could not be quite so far away
as Eldridge and the rest OF them
thought"
One thing" spoke up Jack, Il often
wondered what you whispered to Sim
mons to induce him to pass those mes
sages over to you Mind telIing?"
Not a bit Simmons is an excep-
tionaI man. He has nerve and intel
ligence. I just pointed out to him the
possibility that Monsieur K might
have control over heat vibrations. He
saw the public danger at once, and
realized that McCarthy's private
rights in those messages had suddenly
become very small.
Jack nodded 60 ahead" said he
Il had already" proceeded barrow,
found out where the next wireless
station is located Monsieur K must
be nearer the Atlas station than to
this other. It was, therefore. easy to
draw a comparatively small circle
within which he must be located"
SO far so good, said Helen. How
did you finally come to the conclusion
that Monsieur K was in the next Of
fice?"
DO you remember" barrow asked
Jack, .ehow the curtain OF darkness
hung about ten or twelve feet inside
the corridor OF the Atlas Building?.
Sure" replied Jack.
"And do you remember that while
the rest Of you. including Eldrdge,
were occupied rather childishIy with
the spectacular side Of it, l had dis
appeared inside the blackness7''
Certainly"
well, in that time I determined the
exact extent of the phenomena
found that it extended In a rough
circle. And when went outside and
looked up something every one else
was apparently too busy to dol saw
that this phenomenon Of darkness also

system of special tuning and definite
electrical energy" said barrow. by
which through an ordinary wireless
sender he can send forth into the
ether what might be called deadening

GEORGIA MOVIES WILL
BE SHOWN At FRISCO

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 3.-Georgia is to
have perhaps, the greatest advertise
ment she ever had when the big Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition opens in San
Francisco next year. The Georgia
commission now has a field force at
work with motion picture cameras,
taking movies" of the states great
industries, her busy city streets, her
colleges, her farm scenes. These will
be shown on the screen in the magni-
ficent Georgia building at the expo
sition every day for nine and one
half months.
Clyde Bennett, manager of the mo-
ton picture work for the commission,
is enthusiastic over the pictures he al
ready has found.
Georgia is wonderfully blessed with
things to brag on" he said. There is
no end to the pictures we can take
and visitors from every state and from
other countries will see just what
wonderful empire Georgia has. You
know, the state buildings will be the
only rest rooms at the exposition, and
when tired folk drop in to rest their
poor feet they will have the Georgia
movies to entertain them"
Atlanta scenes are the first to be
aiken but the camera force expects t.
zach every principal town and every
urge industry in the state. Business
men are aiding enthusiastically in
the work.

MUTT AND JEFF"
IN A NEW GU|SE

| After three seasons of veritable tri-
umph, Gus Hill comes back for a
fourth season with his perennial sue
cess Mutt & Jeff" in an entire new
dress. in Mexico" is the title of the
story that is to form a background for
Bud Fusher's inimitable characters
which easily assume the credit of the
greatest and most durable success Of
the cartoon world. The new produc-
ton is an innovation of play crafts
mans work, elnbodying about all Of
the real meat CT standard amusement;
the thrill Of the melo-drama, the side
splitting situations of the farce COM
, edy, the extravaganza and tinselled
brilliancy CT the Burlesque and the
harmonious art of musical comedy, no.
forgetting a scenic production, electri-
cally embellished including some
startling mechanical effects that over
shadow all previous attempts at real
ism. Contrary to the general idea of
producing managers to frame up their
offerings for the second and third
years cheaply and clean up" speaking
in the parlance of the profession, Mr.
Hill has spent more money and greater
energy in this seasons Mutt and JEFF
in Mexico" than on any of the prev
ious production, so great is his faith
in the lasting qualities of the cartoon
play. In this seasons entertainment,
there isn't thing left but Mutt &
jeff" The sorry, music, lyrics, scenery
and electrical effects are all new Mr..
Hill has selected a cast superior ii.
every respect to any he has yet been
able to offer. All in all, Mutt & JEFF
in Mexico" will surely live up to the
title of the one great big hit of the
show world and sit will go some"
1t comes to the Opera House Sat
urday, Sept 5th. Secure seats in ad-
vance is an old cry but in this case
it is very necessary, as Mutt G. Jeif'

SACRIUGEOUS THIEF
STEALS CHURCH LIGHTS

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 3.-The meanest
and most sacriligious thief who has
puzzled the police in Atlanta for years
is he who stole a bunch of electric
lights globes from the First Methodist
church this week. He was evidently
taking the church's injunction Let
there be Light" in a very literal way.
The church has an open-air pavilion
for summer services and the lights
were strung across this. When they
tried to turn them on last night they
were missing.

army circles, a willingness to accept
recruits which would not ordinarily
pass the examination, and a great deal
more target practice.
The Fifth regiment, Georgia infan-
try, began near Atlanta today its frs

eminent. The shoot will continue all

You would like to see every Ameri-
can worker fully employed and every
honest American business man pros

Do you want to know how you can
help bring this about?
Demand Made in America goods.
Do you know that our foolish wor-
ship of the label Imported" had be-
gun to undermine our financial and
industrial stability?
Let me cite few Geld, omnibus, to-
be-heeded facts.
During the twelve months ended
July 81 last we imported merchandise
to the value of $1,915,OOO,O0O, a figure
never before approached.
Compared with the previous twelve
months, our balance of exports over
imports decreased $3.50, 900, OOO-a stag
gering economic development of ma
tional and international significance,
In July the latest month covered by
official statistics we actually bought
fully $6,0OO,O0O worth more than We

ern times.
American business men do we'll to
buckle on their armor to capture for
eign markets.
You and I may not be able to rem
der practical assistance in invading
fresh fields.
But let our manufactures capture
us!
Of the $1,915, 100000 brought from
foreigners last year $1,O0O,0OO,OOO
could probably have been kept at
homeland next year a thousand mill
lions probably will be kept at home
to fill American pay envelopes.
This is the time for homely, every
day unspectacular patriotism.
Keep American dollars for Ameri-
can pay envelopes!
The Ingersoll Watch Company once
called thousands of its statesmen to-
gether in conference. Meetings of all
sorts were held for several days, many
minds expressed themselves, much
sage advice was offered, views were
freely interchanged. At the end the
statesmen were asked to record what
had helped them or encouraged them
most. And what, think you, was it?
1t was the thought, impressed upon
them by one officer, that every time
they sold a watch they gave work to
somebody.
Let's stop spouting patriotism anc
practice it.
Sink the thought into your mind
that every time you buy five cents
worth Or five dollars worth of Amer
lean merchandise, you are providing
a job for some fellow-countryman
and raising prosperity one little
notch higher.
Grain spectators threaten to kill
the goose that is laying golden eggs.
By forcing prices up to utterly I'M
reasonable levels they will ruin the
export demand for American grain
and infict unjustifed hardships upon
our own population. If United States
gamblers overreach themselves, re-
member Europe can draw upon Can
ada, Russia, Argentina and other
countries for supplies.
To attempt to corner" wheat-as
Washington hints is being dcne-were
crime morally and economically and
could entail nothing but distress and
disaster in the end to everybody in
volved.
II spectators persist in sending
wheat towards $1.5O a bushel, one day
the bubble will burst with a bang.
Here is bit of simple philosophy:
