He proceeded on methodical

him about, but after a while wearied
of so proftless an occupation. and so
took to smoking on the window-ledge.
Darrow extended his Investigations to

the scientist looked up and made some
trivial remark.

"Yes," replied Darrow 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,

CHAPTER XIV.
wha4 9snnened Afterward.

What Happened After~ard.
There remains only to tell what be-
came Of the various characters Of the
tale.
Mccarthy, on whom the action start
ed, returned, but never regatned his
political hold barrow always main
tanned that this was only the most OBJ
vious result of his policy Of delaying
the denouement. People had been
forced to think seriously Of such mat
tiers; and, when aroused. the public
conscience is right.
barrow demanded, and received, the
large money reward for his services in
the matter. Pocketing whatever blame
the public and his fellow scientists
saw fit to hand out to him, he and Jack
Warford disappeared in command of
a small schooner. The purpose of the
expedition was kept secret; it's direc-
ton was known only to those most in
timateIy concerned. If it ever returns,
we may know more of it.
Eldridge went on being scientist.
exactly as before.
Simmons received a gold medal, a
large cash sum, any amount Of news
paper space, and an excellent oppor-
tunity to go on vaudeville circuit.
Hallowell had his salary raised; and
received in addition that rather vague
brevet title of "star reporter
Helen Warford is still attractive and
unmarried. Whether the latter condt-
ton is only pending the return of the
expedition is not known.
AS for the city, it has gone back to
its everyday life, and the rifles on the
surface have smoothed themselves
away. In outside appearances every
thing is as before. Yet for the present
generation, at least, the persistence Of
the old Independent self-reIiance of the
people Is assured. They have been
tested, and they have been made to
think Of elemental things seriously.
For some time to come the slow pro.
cess for Standardization has been ar.
rested.

without the slightest hesitation. But
as 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"
barrow turned to Mrs. Warford.
With your permission, should like
to smoke" said he. Il 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 sign unless Nc
Carthy leaves town by six. Mccarthy
does not leave town Promptly at six
the sign comes. What do yeu make
of it?"
Nobody stirred.
Why" resumed barrow, how, If
Monsieur < was a 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"
barrow nodded his approval
Good boy, Jack" said he. THAT is
just the point I could not be sure
about. But finally, at the time, you
will remember, when predicted Nc
Carthy's disappearance. Monsieur x
made a definite threat. He said," OBJ
served DarroW, consulting one of the
bundle of papers he held in his hand:
my patience is at an end. Your
last warning will be sent you at nine

He held out four closely written
pages bound together with manuscript

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

He laid them on the edge of the
table, produced cigarette, lighted it,
picked up the four pages of formulas,
