CHAPTER llv.
A Piece of Steel.

Neal nrSt duty was LOWdTu All
nette-his second toward Joe. He
carried Joe tenderly to the side of
the road and left him there, covered
with green boughs. Then he lifted
Annette upon his steed and set off for
help. It took time to find surgeon
time to get car.
Meantime things happened at the
furnished house-the house SO swiftly
and violently unfurnished by its in
terloping tenants.
Inside the room nothing but mass
of wreckage was to be seen. But
slowly, painfully, impelled by some
unseen force, this mass of wreckage
slowly rose. Beneath 1t some giant
writhed and wriggled
Finally head appeared-the
Brute's head.
He looked about the room. Moth
ing was to be seen. He peered into
the depths from which he had just
emerged. Then suddenly he saw some
thing.
Seeing-he worked away like mad.
Inside Of ten minutes, Inez, in stu
por, was staring at the Brute from
! one side Of the rOom-Hernandez from
the other.
Hernandez shook the lethargy from
him. He crawled to Inez.
"Up-up," he cried, Juggling at her.
I'VE have no time to lose. Come on.
/, you beast-come on"
SEEKING them both, tearing at them
frantically, like mad, he sped with
them toward a cluster Of trees on the
other side of the road.
In the midst of this dense growth he
had hidden his machine.
Painting with frenzy, his glance ever
| over his shoulder, he forced them
into the car. sprang to the wheel,
threw in the clutch. and was off.
It was three days later. on the high
seas, that Hernandez-his other two
companions well hidden in the hold
stole out of the companion way of a
| fruit steamer bound for the southern
seas.
He glanced cautiously around a cor.
| ner.
The first figure that met his sight
was Neal Hardin-an ensign in the
navy.
What's he doing here?" demanded
Hernandez of himself.
He watched warily. What he saw
disturbed him.
Neal was giving orders to the cap
tain of the ship.
Hernandez looked about him. Sud
denly he darted forward, stopped, ant
picked up something from the floor
What is it?" Queried lnez.
"a piece of STEEL" he said.
That night, well muff1ed, he stol
toward the compass, and concealed hi
piece of steel where it would do tn
most good-or most harm, as you pre-
fer. No one saw him-no one knew
But on his return, turning corner
he ran full tilt into Ensign Neal Hal
din himself. Neal sprang upon tn
mufied figure and tore the envelopin
cloak from Hernandez grasp.
"You," cried Neal, leaping for He
nandez, 1--WE got you now"
They struggled like tigers, but Ne'
took no chances. This was no ties
bout. He wanted to make sure of h
man. He called for help. Help cam
A dozen mem pounced upon Hernai
; dee.
When he was safely chained Me-
, rose to his feet.
We've got him." said Neal brief.

Now" said Hernandez. And both
descended upon him. Joe was ready
for them. He seized a chair and
whirled it about his head-frenzy lend
ing him violence and strength.
Come on" he cried, all three of
you at once!"
With one wild final swing he brought
the chair crashing down on Hernandez
head. No. not on Hernandez head.
1t fell short Of that, but crashed on
something else-the chandelier above
Hernandez head.
There was a ripping, tearing, crack
ing southland then q crash. Down
came the chandelier in a tangled heap
upon the floor.
For one instant there was q cessa-
ton of hostilities. The shades were
down-the lights extinguished-the
room plunged into semi-darkness.
Annette watched in alright. Sud.
denly a strange, familiar odor assailed
her nostrils.
"Stop-stop!" she cried.
But none needed her. The Brute
still held her fast. And Joe, in his new
and ungovernable frenzy, was once
more at it with the chair, clearing a
space about him on the floor. driving
Inez and Hernandez before him into
one corner after another.
His chair whirling, touched live
wire-from which the insulation had
been torn. The wire, recoiling from
the blow, struck a piece Of disjointed
gas pipe still clinging to the ceiling.
| Then-fZZ-a spark-a multitude OF
sparks. A pause-a seconds pause.
And then the whole room, with q
mighty roar, burst itself out into the
open air.
A horsenan, speeding down the
straight road, heard the boom. He saw
the explosion. He spurred his horse
He reached the wayside lane.
Joe Welcher, his head cut ant
bleeding, was the first to revive. His
remorseful frenzy still lent hin
strength and energy. He sprang tt
his feet-looked for Annette. He no
ticed nothing else-save that the room
was wrecked.
He found Annette, picked her VI
and carried her without. She wa
stunned, but practically unhurt. Blu
Joe didn't know all this. He hat
killed her-he must bring her to lif
again.
With her in his arms he started u
the lane-whither he knew not.
Suddenly, in the distance, he SAL
Neal-on horseback. Welcher brok
into run toward his foster brother.
"She-she lives" said Joe thickl!
at any rate-you can tell her-te
mother-tell yourself-that l brougt
her back-to life. That pays up-pay
up-for-"
He fell prone upon the ground.
Neal knelt by his side. Gone" b
said, taking off his hat, gone. Al

swered sobbing. except that b

of each, to be followed by the abbrevia-

| No message will be considered sent until

an official message, the abbreviation
"OFM" is sent Immediately after the
check and before "fm. - This subject is
something that should be carefully stud
led by every Scout, and no Scout should

he can send message and receive one
in the proper order. He should always
remember that accuracy is the first requi-
site.
The proper number to man a signal
station is four. One signals and receives
and calls out the signals of the other sta
ton; one calls off outgoing and writes
down incoming messages: one watches
the other station for breaks and the fourth
acts as messenger to deliver the mes
sages after they are written out. The

Signals may also be sent in Morse code /
by whistling. a short whistle for a dot
and long one for dash. Interval be-
tween words is slightly longer than be-
tween letters. The Ardois system in use
in the navy, is display of four lights,
usual electric, swinging from a staff
mast or yard. These lights are manipu
lated by keyboard placed at the station,
and marked with the appropriate signal
letters or signs. The red lamp indicates !
a dot and the white lamp a dash Four
lamps are placed on a vertical staff and |
electrically illuminated to indicate the |
dots and dashes which represent the let |
tiers of the alphabet. For instance, red |
white, or dot dash, represents the letter /
A, and white-red- or dash-dot- |
dot dot, represents the letter B. The |
lights are placed vertically and read from |

International Morse may be also sig
nailed by use of Coston light red light |

Considering the subject of the proper
order of transmission of signal messages
we take up this week the form of blank
to use. We illustrate a form copied after
the one in use ,by the L S. A. Signal
Corps. This is used BY both the sending
aud receiving operators The receiving
operators will enter the time, when the
mes sage is handed him for transmission,
in the left hand corner at the bottom of
the blank opposite the word received. -
He will enter in the proper place at the
head of the blank the number of the
message, the call letter of his station,
with his personal signal, the check mum
Der of words or groups of cipher con-
tained in the message, counting address
and sit nature) and after ''RD" has been
received he will enter the time the mes
sage was sent and the call letter of the
receiving station, with the personal sig
nal of the receiving operator.
To transmit a message the operator
will send q the number of message and
call letter of his station; ~ his personal
signal; (3) the check; (4) I'm" followed
by name of sending detachment; 90 at
followed by location of sending detach-
ment and date, omitting month and year;
(6) no" followed by hour Ga. III. or D.
