our attention to the fact that Column

America, that Darwin, Kant, Spencer,
Wagner, Haydn and others did their

nifty to achieve by convincing some
master of opportunity that years do

the fact that the man of fifty is not

Less Coal Used in MAKING Coke.

The quantity OF coal required to

than formerly. The average gain in
1912, compared with ten years ago. is

doubtful II in the earlier years the.
actual yield of coal in coke exceeded
SO per cent, whereas in 1912 it was 81

CHAPTER XIX.
Percy Keeps viall.

FSFcy Keeps vigil
The morning Of the third day after
the failure of the search, and of the
sixth since McCarthy's disappearance,
had arrived. During that time Percy
Darrow, apparently insensible to IA
tigue, had maintained an almost sleep
less vigil. His meals Jack Warford
brought in to him; he dozed in his
chair or on the couch. Never did he
appear to do anything.
The very persistent quietude of the
man ended by making its impression.
To all questions. however, barrow re-
turned but the one reply, delivered al
ways in voice full of raillery:
81 couldn't bear to miss single
step of Eldridge's mastery work"
About half past nine in the morning
in question, through the door to the
wireless office, always half opened,
somebody looked hesitatingly into the
room. Instantly barrow and Jack
were on their feet and in the hall
way.
"Helen!" cried Jack.
what is it? Anything happened 2"
demanded barrow.
She surveyed them both amusedly.
"You certainly look like a frowzy
tramp, Jack" she told her brother 1u-
diciously, and you need Sleep she
informed barrow.
The young scientist bowed ironical-
Iy, his long lashes dropping over his
eyes in his accustomed lazy fashion
as he realized that the occasion was
not urgent. Helen turned directly to
him.
when are you going to stop this 2"
she demanded.
barrow raised his eyebrows.
"You needn't look at me like that.
You said you could lay your hands on
Monsieur x at any moment; why don't
you do it?"
"Eldridge is too amusing"
"Too amusing!" echoed the girl.
"All you think of is yourself"
'Ts it," drawled Darrow.

Eldridge detailed the same reason
Ing, at greater length, to the men who
had employed him. These were very
impatient. Business was being not
merely impeded, but destroyed. Their
customers had no time for them; their
employees were in many cases leaving
their jobs. They called in all the
help they could to assist Eldridge's
speculations, but in the end they had
to fall back on the scientist as the
best on the market. The case was not
left in his hands alone, however. After
a meeting they offered a reward to any
one discovering and putting to an end
the disconcerting phenomena.
Here's where we make money,
Jack, big money" observed Darrow
when he read this offer It'll be big
ger before we get through. You and
I can have the little expedition to Vol
cano Island"
Nothing suits me better" said
Jack. Are you sure we'll get it?"
Sure" said barrow.
Monsieur x had of course honored
the waiting world with message 1t

ness:

and have stayed my hand in order that
you may learn the vanity of your en-

your portion. Now We know my power
and We will listen unto my words as to

down this man Mccarthy and deliver him
over unto me. If every one of you gives
himself to the task, 10! 1t is quickly done.

These events occupied the three
days of the ordered exodus. The time
was further filled with rumor that ever
grew more dire. Gradually business
was suspended entirely. Those who
could not or would not go away stood
about talking matters over. and, as
