its everyday life, and the rifles on tho

CHAPTER XIII.
How II All Was.

For his share in the foregoing Percy
barrow was extensively blamed It
was universally conceded that his ac-
ton in permitting Monsieur X to con
tinue his activities up 10 the danger
point was ineScusable. The public
mind should have been treasured long
before. Much terror and physical sui.
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 heartless mon.
ster and u 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 genuine altruism Hal.
lowell. also. held persistently to this
point. as far ne 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
had made.
The story was told three times by
its 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
account was the more detailed and
interesting.
1t was OF = late afternoon again.
The lamps were lighted. and tea was
forward. Helen was manipulating the
cups. Jack was standing ready to pass
them, MIR. and Mrs. Warford sat In
the background listening. and barrow
lounged gracefully in front OF the fire.
From the beginning" Helen was
commanding him. and expect inter.
ruptions."
Well" began barrow. ITS a little
difficult to get started. But let's be-
sin with the phenomena themselves.
I've told you before. how. when | was
in jail. | worked out their nature and
the fact that they must draw their
power from some source that could be
exhausted or emptied. You have read
Eldridge's reasoning as to why he
thought Monsieur X was at n distance
and on height. He took ms the
basis OF his reasoning one fact In con.
ncction with the wireless messages
We were receiving-that they were
faint, and therefore presumably far
distant or sent by n weak battery, lie
neglected. or passed over us 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 supposi.
ton that our receiving instrument
happened in what we may call Its un'
dortoncs to be tho only one tuned to
the sending instrument OF Monsieur
X; or It might be because our insfru
mcnt was nearer Monsieur KS instru
ment than my other. This was un
likely because Of tho quality OF the
