I gave gasp of surprise.
There, In the top of the safe,
yawned gaping hole, through which
one could have thrust his arm!
What is it?" we asked, crowding
about him.
"Thermit," he replied laconically.
"Thermit?" I repeated.
"Yes-a compound of iron oxide and
powdered aluminium, invented by o
chemist at Essen, Germany. It gives
a temperature of over five thousand
degrees. 1t will eat its way through
the strongest steel"
Jennings, his mouth wide open with
wonder, advanced to take the bust
from Kennedy.
"No-don't touch it," he waved him
off, laying the bust on the desk. Il

see how careful I was to use the

have left on the marble?"
As he spoke, Craig was busting ove1
the surface of the bust with some
black powder.
"Look!" exclaimed Craig suddenly.

"Yes," nodded Kennedy, studying
them closely. "A clue-perhaps."
"What-those little marks-a clue?"

"Why, easily" he answered, pick

my finger on this weight-so. You
could see it even without the powder

Kennedy %was holding the paper

For the purpose Of defraying the

sufficient lnducement 10 our citizens
10 make the institute a permanent

The mere fact Of our having a sue

ational institutions. ANY town can
veil afford To pay for the establish

The small sum necessary TO main
tain the summer normal institute here
should be forthcoming without any
unnecessary tramping through the hot
sur to obtain it. Every citizen who has
the proper public spirit and town pride
whether man or woman. business maj
or private individual, should be will
