CHAPTER XVI.
Marking Time.

(: Soon after dark the attack began.
Flashes from gun mouths and glow
ing sheets Of fame from rifles made
ugly revelry, while the beams Of
search-lights swept hither and thither.
This kept up till shortly after mid
might, when 1t died down and, where
hell's concert had ragged, silent dark
ness shrouded the hills. Marta knew
that Bordir was taken without having
to ask Lanstron or wait for confrma-
ton from Westerling.

larbor the next morning, when she
heard the approach Of those regular.

Posted in the drawing-room Of the
Galland house were the congratula-

who had come from the atmosphere of

ordinary standards. But he was too
clever a man to vaunt his triumph.
He knew how to carry his honors.
He accepted success as his due, in q

Only twenty thousand! Her revul-
sion at the bald statement was re-

over the telephone after breakfast that
the Browns had lost only FIVE thou

she was thinking.

VERY much nearer!" he answered
earnestly, as he dropped on the bench
beside her.
He stretched his arms out on the
back Of the seat and the relaxed atti-
tude, unusual with him. brought into
relief a new trait Of which she had
been hitherto obliviouA The con-
queror had become simply compan-
ionable man. Though he was not sit

hers, she had q desire to move away
which she knew would be unwise to

tain softening charm, a magnetism
that she had sometimes felt in the
days-when she first knew him. She
realized, too, that then the charm had
not been mixed with the indescribable,
intimate quality that 1t held now.
I'm the midst Of congratulations

night" he declared, II confess that

that was warm with gratitude.
She lowered her lashes before It;
before gratitude that made her part
appear in fresh angle Of misery.
There seems to be q kind Of ia
tality about our relations" he went on.

His tone held more than gratitude. 1t
had the elation Of discovery.
"He Is going to make It harder than

thought, in flutter Of confusion.

l is announced that Admiral Taylor chief instructor of the navy, has perfected device to protect batteshps from submarines It is described as a heavy chain net which will be suspended from booms projecting from the ship distance about fifteen or twenty feet from the sides The bow and stern, apparently, are not to be protected They seldom in danger submarine always discharges nearly as possible torpedro at right angles to ship because the side offers the best taget To aim directly at the bow of an approaching ship is almost useless, besides would put the sub marine in danger of being rammed. The stern, too, offers poor target
 These facts fortunate for the success of the device, for if heavy had to be hung in the water ahead and astern of ship they would retard speed Hung alongside, they may not be much of a drag
 There seems to be why the plan shouldn't work The nets to be hung out only when the war ship is in danger They will stop a torpedo be- fore it strikes the ships may stick in the meshes and run down harmlessly, it may explode In the latter there will probably be no more harm done than the deuging of the deck with a column of water
 Similar nets hung the bow ought to be a sufficient protection against floating mines. If the British navy had adopted such early in the war it would have several bateships and cruisers aaoa today Per haps the Dardanees fleet is now protected in that very way.
 It only show that there's a remedy for every thing, in warfare. The only trouble is that in the endless competition between onense and defense weap- ons generally manage to keep lap ahead of armor
