He proceeded carefully and method
lcally to carry out his expressed in
tention. When he had finished the
task he heaved deep sigh of relief.

me. either confessed barrow.
But now / think we're safe
He proceeded on methodical
search through the intricacies of the
apparatus. For time Jack followed
him about, but after while wearied
of SO proftless an occupation, and so
took to smoking on the window-ledge.
barrow extended his Investigations to
the bookcase, and to drawer in the
deal table For over two hours he
sorted notes, compared, and rumi-
mated, his brows knit in concentra-
ton. Jack did not try to interrupt
him. At the end of the time indicated,
the scientist looked up and made some
trivial remark.
Got it?' asked Jack.
Yes replied barrow soberly. He
reflected for several minutes longer;
then moved to the window and looked
out over the city. Absolutely motion
less there he stood while the night
fell, oblivious alike to the roar and
crash of the increasing panic and to
the silent figures in the darkened room
behind him. At last he gave sigh,
walked quietly to the electric light,
and turned it on.
IT'S the biggest thing-and the sim
plest-the world has ever known in
physics. Jack" said he. but it's got

the mood of waiting into which he had

That was the square black bag!"
cried Jack.
"Of course-and hustled back to the
Atlas Building. You can bet was

had returned to his lair"
"Talcum disturbed again." asked
Jack
Precisely"
"And the black bag?"
Contained merely model wireless

ment set to close the circuit at a GER

was not involved In his own catas-
trophe"
Il see!"
Then all had to do was to sit still
and wait for him to become danger
ous"
How did you dare to take such
chances?" cried Helen.
Il took no chances" answered Oar
row. Don't you see? II he were to
attempt to destroy the city, he must
either involve himself in the destruc-
ton, or he must set another bit of
clockwork. II he had left his office

into the Office, and smashed the appa-
ratus."
But he was crazy" spoke up Mrs.
Warford. How could you rely on his
not involving himself in the general
J destruction"
YES. why did you act when you
! did," seconded Helen.
las long as he held TO his notion OF
getting hold OF Mccarthy" explained
barrow, The had definite object in
| life, his madness had definite outlet
he was harmless. But the last mes
sage showed that his disease had pro-
crossed to the point where Mccarthy
was forgotten. His mind had risen to
a genuine frenzy. He talked of gen.
eral punishments, great things. At
| last he was in the state OF mind Of the
religious fanatic who lacerates his
flesh and does not feel the wound.
| When he forgot Mccarthy, knew it
was time to act. Long since / had
provided myself with the requisite
key. You know the rest"

bration of either heat, sound, light, or
electricity length. 1t is entirely ques-
ton of simple formulas. Here they
are"
He held out four closely written
pages bound together with manuscript
fasteners
mo man has ever before attained
this knowledge or this power" went
on Darrow, after a moment; land
probably never again in the history of
the race will exactly this combination
of luck and special talent occur These
four pages are unique"
He laid them on the edge of the
table, produced a cigarette, lighted it,
picked up the four pages of formulas,
and held the burning match to their
edges. The fame caught, fared up
the fiimsy paper. Darrow dropped the
burning corners as it scorched his fin
gers. 1t fell to the floor, fiickered,
and was gone.
Jack leaped forward with an excla-
nation OF dismay. The old man bound
to the chair did not wink, but stared
straight in front of him, his eyes fixed
like those of an owl or a wildcat
For Gods sake, Darrow!" cried
Jack Warford. DO you know what
you have done?"
Perfectly" replied barrow calp.ly.
This is probably the greatest achisve-
ment of the scientific intellect; bit it
must go. 1t would give to men an
unchecked power that belongs Only to
the gods
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-02-17

without the slightest hesitation. But
as l told him at the time, man must
have imagination and human sympa-
thy to get next to this sort of thing.
Leaving all science aside, for the
moment, what do we find in the mes
sages to Mccarthy? First, command
to leave within a specified and brief
period; second, threat in case of
disobedience. That threat was always
carried OUT
Darrow turned to Mrs Warford.
With your permission. should like
to smoke" said he. 81 can follow my
thought better"
by all means" accorded the lady.
Darrow lighted his cigarette, pulled
moment, and continued:
For instance, at three o'clock he
threatens to send a sign unless Nc
Carthy leaves town by six. Mccarthy
does not leave town. Promptly at six
the sign comes. What do you make
of it,"
Nobody stirred
Why resumed Darrow, "how, If
Monsieur X was hundred miles or
so away, as Eldridge figured, did he
know that Mccarthy had not obeyed
him? We must suppose, from the
probable fact of that knowledge, that
either Monsieur X had an accomplice
who was keeping him informed, or
he must be near enough to get the in
formation himself"
There is third possibility broke
in Jack. Monsieur X might have sent
along his sign at six O'Clock, any
how, just for general results"
Darrow nodded his approval.
Good boy, Jack" said he. THAT is
just the point l could not be sure
about. But finally, at the time, you
will remember, when predicted Nc
Carthy's disappearance. Monsieur x
made definite threat He said" OBJ
served Darrow, consulting one OF the
bundle of papers he held in his land:

loyalty forced himself in spite of the
turmoil outside.
The man has perfected a combined
system of special tuning and definite
electrical energy" said Darrow. "by
which through an ordinary wireless
sender he can send forth into the
ether what might be called deadening
Or nuliifying waves. You are no doubt
familiar with the common experiment
by which two sounds will produce a

between 1873 and 1854 the states IN
Tho middle west were populated in
amazing degree Millions and mil
lions Of immigrants settled the fertile
plains Of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, the
Dakotas and Minnesota. Prices for
all Of the products Of the farm were
at high water mark Prices for cat
tie on the western and southwestern
ranges made cattle-raising profitable
end millions Of dollars were poured
into tho cattle country and the land
redeemed.
This condition of unexampled pros
rerity continued until the election Of
Mr. Cleveland in 1854 The Demo
cratic party came into office then for
the first time since 1856. The eloc-
uon Of the Democratic ticket In No
lember was followed at once BY de
cline in the value of securities, by
tightening Of the money market, by
decline in the prices Of farm products
and the wages Of labor Though at
that time there was no definite prom
se Of radical tariff revision, the SEN
ate being strongly Republican, yet the
remote fear that something might he
done disturbed business conditions all
over the country as they had not been
disturbed since the war This feeling
Of unrest and distrust was existent
and patent all during the first admin
istration Of Mr.. Cleveland and was in
tensified during the last months of
his tenure and the issuance Of his
famous message declaring that it was
the highest duty Of the party to 20 to
the people with a demand for positive
and radical tariff revision. This mes
sage resulted IN further tumbllng
Of values and so great was the ap-
irehension that tho Democratic party
might Win in tho election Of 1855 that
the eastern members Of the party de-
serted the organization and Mr.. Har-
rison was elected by tremendous
majority.
Tho ink on the papers containing
the election returns was scarcely dry

the Republicans was felt in every cor

marched across the country and de
sconded on Washington, when The
soup-house IN every city in tho land
was the most important institution
when call money advanced to GO pei
cent and when money for investment
could not be obtained at any price
Factories shut down and labor went
hungry and in rags. Children starved
and trade languished and was stag
nant And all because Of the revision
Of tariff duties, opening all OF the
channels Of trade to foreign manufac-
, turers and putting American labor on
the level Of the pauper labor Of Eu-
rope.
The people again revolted against
this condition and the triumphant
election Of Mckinley in 1895 again
brought instant restoration Of conf
dence, instant revival Of Industrial
and commercial activity, Instant re-
turn to a fair wage system. instant

Kinley redeemed his campaign pledges

in the history Of Industrial develop
