zone, from which they were still COM
ing. had been completely surrounded.
After that the manifestation had
ceased. Therefore, Monsieur X must
be within the beleaguered circle. To
add to the probabilities, as Eldridge
pointed out. the remaining district
compressed the highest hills in the
zone-a fact on all fours with his hy-
pothesis.
On the appointed morning the army
moved toward the center. Men beat
the ground carefully. SO close to one
another that they could touch hands.

the shouting. rose and wheeled.
In the city immense crowds watched
the bulletins sent momentarily from
the very field itself by private wires
strung hastily for the occasion. En-
terprising journals had prepared huge
rough maps. on which the contracting
circle was indicated by red lines. con-
stantly redrawn. 1t was discovery be

the public, fired by its realization of
this fact. stretched itself ahead of the

buildings looking out on the numerous
bulletin-boards were black with heads.
Those who could not see demanded
eagerly of those who could.
In the Atlas Building the wireless
operator hung out of his window. Be-
side him was Jack Warford.
Darrow declined to join him. You

Jack therefore reported back over

Throughout all this excitement
Percy Darrow did absolutely nothing
He spent all his time, save that re-
Quired fo- meals and the shortest nee
essary sleep. in a round-armed wood
en- chair in the wireless station of the
Atlas Building. Jack Warford sat
with him. Darrow rarely opened his
mouth for speech. but smoked slowly
a few cigarettes, and rolled many
more, which he held unlighted in the
corner OF his mouth until they dropped
to pieces. He watched quietly all

"Eldridge is doing this" he said to
them: I'm only in the position of an
interested spectator"
Eldridge had taken hold in a thor
oughly competent way. Back of the
cold precision of his undoubted scien-
tific attainments lurked. unexpected
by most, a strong ambition and less
admirable hankering for the lime-light.
His opportunity to crafty all these ap-
petites-science, advancement, and
fame-was too good not to cause him
the deepest satisfaction.

Governor Would Make It Memorable
in Years Work of State Building.
Denver.-Friday, May 8, has been
designated as Good Roads Day in
Colorado" Governor Ammons issued
proclamation to that effect.
The governor expressed the hope in
his declaration that every citizen will
devote the day to work on Colorado's
10000 miles of highways. With that
end in view he suggests that the
boards of county commissioners ar
range plans for the Improvement of
the roads under their charge and that
the cities and towns better their
streets which form links in the thor
oughfares.
The governor devoted a paragraph
in his proclamation to lauding the
road drag which was demonstrated
here recently by d. Ward King of Mis-
souri,, inventor.
The governor particularly urged the
posting of directing signs along the
roads and the marking of springs and
watering places along the way of trav-
ell. Special appeal was made to good
roads organizations and public schools
to boost the good roads agitation and
make Good Roads Day memorable
one in each years work of state build
ing.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Confusion Worse confounded.


The absolute failure of Eldridge's
hypothesis Immediately threw public
confidence into profound reaction.
Certainty gave place to complete dis
trust. Rumor gained ground. The
exodus increased. Where formerly only
those who could do SO without great
sacrifice or Inconvenience had left
town, now people were beginning to
cut loose at any cost. Men resigned
their positions in order to get their
families away; others began to ar
range their affairs as best they might,
as though for long vacation. AS yet
panic had not appeared openly in the
light of day. but she lurked in tho
shadows of mems hearts.
The railroads and steamboats, were
crowded beyond their capacity. Extra
trains followed one another as close
together as the block signals would
allow them to run. Humanity packed
the cars. 1t was like continual series
of football days. In three of them 1t
was estimated that two hundred thou
sand people had left Manhattan. 1t
would have been physically impossible
for the transportation lines to have
carried a thousand more. They had
reached their capacity; the spigot was
wide open.
Percy Darrow showed Jack the head
lines to this effect.
Cheerful thought" he suggested.
Suppose the whole four million should
want to get out at the same time!"
An hour and a half after the bulletin
announcing the failure OF the search
had been posted, Eldridge rushed into
the wireless office. The plague OF
darkness had lifted after fifteen min
utes' duration.
Call Monsieur X" he gasped to the
day operator. In fifteen minutes. by
rapid substitutions of batteries to
weaken or strengthen the sending cur
rent. he had predetermined his previ-
GUS data Apparently. without the
shadow of doubt. Monsieur x was
within the circle.
He may be at sea-" suggested the
operator
But Eldridge shook his head. The
circle OF the sea had been well pa
trolled. and for days.
Begin all over again." drawled
Darrow. 81 told you that you were
on the wrong track"
Eldridge glanced at him.
81 can't say that you've done much!"
said he tartly.
"No?" queried Darrow, with one OF
his slow and exasperating smiles.
perhaps not. But you'd better get
to thinking. You won't be able always
to take things easy. You may have to
hustle before long"
There has been. admit" said FL
dridge stiffiy. repeating in substance
the interview he had already given
out. some flaw in our chain OF rea-
soning. This it will be necessary to
review with the object of revision.
Every physical manifestation must
have some physical and definite cause;
and this can be found II time enough
is bestowed on 1t. Often the process
of elimination is the only method by
which the truth can be determined"
Darrow chuckled.
Look out the process of elimina-
ton doesn't overtake you," he 70
marked.
