Thus cambridge, sometime star re-

at the climaxing instant to prove the

world, much as Matthew Brofin had
once turned up on the after-deck OF
the coastwise steamer Adelantado to

While Griswold, with every nerve
on edge, was acknowledging the In.

far it was a blank-a rather bored

"And you are on your way to st.

paper man. Broffin, whose ears Wers
skillfully attuned to all the tone varia'
tions in the voice of evasion, thought
he detected a quaver of anxious i'm
patience in the half-absent query.
"Yes; l was going on through to-
night, but Johnson, here, stumped me
to stop over. He said might be able
to get a news story out of his sick

Something clicked in Broffin's brain.
The final doubt was cleared away.
Griswold was the man he had seen and
marked when the two were saying
good-by on the banquette in front OF
Chaudiere's.
Broffin's right hand went swiftly to
an inside pocket of his coat and when
it was withdrawn pair of handcuns'

During the trying interval Griswold
had been fully alive to his peril. He
had seen the swift hand-passing, and
he knew what it was the Brottin was

made the quick pocket dive. He knew
that the crucial moment had come;
and, as many times before, the saw

Rare Old Bible.

I. G. Giltner, 224 Harris avenue, is
the possessor of a Bible which he
says has been in his family more than
100 years, relates the Indianapolis
News. This Bible was in the food
in West Indianapolis and was rescued
though in a somewhat damaged con-
dition. 1t is a folio of more than 1000
pages and contains not only the gen
orally accepted books of the Old and
New Festaments, but the apocryphal
books of the Old Testament. 1t is print
ed in rare old German text, and the
illustrations, which are numerous, ap-
pear to be of much earlier date than
the book itself. The following is a
translation of part of the full-page
title of the book: "Biblia: That is
the entire Holy Scripture of the Old
and New Testaments with their trans

SCIENTISTS KEEP AT WORK
Turmoil Of War Seems to Have Had
Little Effect on the Develop
ment Of Ideas.

So thick and fast come the devel-
opments of science in these days that
men are losing their sense of astonish-
ment. The impossible becomes the
actual so often that it is unsafe to
say that anything cannot be done. A
few months ago the first telephone
message was transmitted across the
continent. Today we hear that a
still greater distance has been covered
by a wireless telephone. Forty years
ago a current of electricity could not
be made to jump more than a few
inches through a vacuum. Today
there is no known limit to it, or rath-
er to the capacity of new instruments
to detect it. Some electrical en-
gineers believe that messages could be
sent to the moon, and perhaps out into
infinite space through the ether just
as easily as from San Francisco to
Honolulu through the atmosphere.
With all this, no man can tell what
electricity is. All we know about it
is that when a certain thing is done
certain results follow.-New York
Commercial.
