"Yes-I think he did make a mis-

Mrs. Brood flushed to the roots OF
her hair. Il do not want to appear
unfair to my husband, but l declare
to you, Mrs. Desmond, that Frederic is
fully justified in the attitude he has
taken this morning. His father hui
inflated him last night in a manner
that made forbearance impossible.
That much | must say for Frederic.
And permit me to add, from my soul,
that he is vastly more sinned against

Il can readily believe that, Mrs.

CHAPTER XVI.
"To My Own Sweetheart"

wy OWH 0WcCb0CdTts
When James Brood and Frederic
left the dinlng-room nearly an hour
prior to the departure of Mrs. Des-
mond, there was in the mind OF each
the resolution to make short work of
the coming interview. Each knew that
the time had arrived for the parting
OF the ways, and neither had the least
desire to prolong the suspense.
The study door was closed. James
Brood put his hand on the knob, but,
before turning 1t, faced the young man
with an odd mixture OF anger and pity
in his eyes.
Perhaps 1t would be better II we
had nothing more to say to each 9TH
err" he said, with an effort. 81 have

thing to you that +"
'Has it got anything to do with
Yvonne and me?" demanded Frederic
ruthlessly, jumping at conclusions in
his new.found arrogance.
Brood threw open the door. "Step
inside" he said In voice that should
have warned the younger man, It was
so prophetic Of disaster. Frederic
had touched the open sore with that
unhappy question. Not until this in
stant had James Brood admitted to
himself that there was sore and that
1t had been fostering all these weeks.
Now It was laid bare and smarted with
pain. Nothing could save Frederic
after that reckless. deliberate thrust
at the very core of the malignant
growth that lay so near the surface.
1t had been in James Brood's heart
to spare the boy.
Hot words we're on Frederic's lips.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Mother lntervenes.

Long past midnight the telephone
in the Desmond apartment rang sharp
Iy, insistently. Lydia, who had Just
fallen asleep, awoke with a start and
sat bolt upright in her bed. A clammy
perspiration broke out all over her
body. She knew there had been a
catastrophe.
She sat there chattering until she
heard her mothers door open and then
the click of the receiver as ii was
lifted from the hook Then she put
her fingers to her ears and closed her
eyes. The very worst had happened.
she was sure Of It. The blow had
fallen. The only thought that scared
her brain was that she had failed him,
failed him miserably in the crisis. oh,
II she could only reclaim that lost
hour Of indecision and cowardicel
The light in the hallway suddenly
smote her in the face and she realized
for the first time that her eyes were
tightly closed as If to shut out some
abhorrent sight.
"Lydial" Her mother was standing
in the open door "Oh, you are awake?"
Mrs. Desmond stared in amazement
at the girls figure.
What is It, mother? Tell me what
has happened? Is he"
"He wants TO speak to you. He is
on the wire. IL His voice sounds
very queer"
The girl sprang out Of bed and hur-
rfed to the telephone.
Don't go away, mother-stay here"
she cried as she sped past the white
clad figure in the doorway. Mrs. Des-
mond fattened herself against the wall
and remained there as motionless as
a statue, her somber gaze fixed on her
daughters face.
"Yes. Frederic-it is Lydia. What
Is 1t, dear?" Her voice was high and
thin.
His voice came Jerking over the
wire, sharp and querulous, She closed
her eyes in anticipation Of the blow,
her body rigid.
'Tm sorry to disturb you" he was
saying, but just had to call you
up" The words we're dlsjointed, as
II he forced them from his lips one
by one in a supreme effort at coher-
ency.
yes, yes-it's all right. ! don't
mind You did right. What is it?"

promise"
"You mean-the promise-but, Fred
dy, cant release you. l love you.
will be your wife, no matter what has
happened, no matter"
"Oh, Lord, Lyddy-it isn't that It's
the other-the promise to say nothing
to my father"
"O-oh!" she sighed weakly, a vast
wave Of relief almost suffocating her
He has made It impossible for me
to go on without"
Where are you, Frederick" she
cried, in sudden alarm.
"0h, I'm all right. shan't 20 home,
you may be sure Of that. Tomorrow
will be time enough"
"Where are you? ! must know.
How can reach you by telephone"
Don't be frightened, dear. It's got
to be. that's all. It might as well be
ended now as later on. The last straw
was laid on tonight Now, don't ask
questions. I'll see you in the morning.
Goodnight, sweetheart Tve-Iye told
you that / can't stick to my promise.
You'll understand / couldn't rest un.

voice. Forgive me for calling you up.

the receiver. She heard the whir Of

The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1915-04-06

The loss of Brazil brought the Port
uguese dominion down from the proud
position it held at the beginning of
the nineteenth century. But at the
beginning of the twentieth century she
remained the mistress of a colonial
empire surpassed only by Great Brit
ain, France and Germany. The eli
mate of the Portuguese colonies Is,
however, unsuitable for European col
onization, and the colonies have no
commercial value commensurate with
their great extent The Portuguese
colonies are: In Africa, Cape Verde
islands, ST. Thomas, Madeira and
Princes islands; Portuguese Guiana
Angola, Portuguese East Africa or Mo
zam bique; in India. Goa, Damaun, Piu;
In China, Macao; in the Malay archi-
pelago, part of Timor. The total area
is 100000 square miles. of which 1884,
900 square miles are in Africa.
The Dutch colonies in the Malay
archipelago number 100000 square
miles. The West Indian dependencies
of Holland are Dutch Guiana or Surf
nam, the Dutch Antilles or Curacao
and its dependencies, comprising, al
together, a total area of 10000 square
miles.

Cleaning Turbine Blades.

Keeping turbine blades free from
deposits of lime from impure feed
water constitutes one of the problems
Of users of steam turbines. An Ohio
central station engineer has attached
a steam flow meter to the turbine and
determines when cleaning is neces.
sary by the rise in the amount OF
steam used from the normal 1S pounds
per kilowatt hour to 19 pounds when
the blades have become considerably
incrusted. At Kansas power sta.
tion a spray of kerosene oil saves
the work of taking down the machines
for cleaning. A small hand-pump is
attached at some point between the
throttle and the valve-gear, and the oil
particles injected by this are forced
along with the live steam, covering
and cleaning all blades. Though the
steam is heavily charged with lime,
magnesla and graphite, little oil oc.
casionally prevents trouble.

New subterranean Fauna.

Deep mines present conditions like
~ to evolve a new subterranean fauna
from animals accidentally Imprisoned
and having sufficient endurance to sur
vive the change. At depth OF 750
feet in a mine of the Midlothian Coal
field, Scotland, Dr. James Richie has
found 13 animal forms, and he con-
cludes that many others may be car
ried into deep underground workings.
These animals were away from any
yentilating shaft reaching the surface,
The main shaft being a quarter of a
mile distant. They are supposed to
have been introduced mostly on the
props of Norwegian fir and with the
horse fodder, but some may have been
drawn in by the suction OF the venti-
.ating fans. The species noted were

house sparrow. the great slug, small
spider, two beetles, two flies, the
springtail or pit flea, two earthworms
and mycetozoon on the pit props

NEWS FROM THE SUBMARINE
How Wireless Messages May Be
Quickly Sent, Telling Either OF
Victory or Defeat.

The mystery of how the submarine
which torpedoed the Formidable sue
ceeded in sending to Berlin news of its
feat by wireless might possibly be ex-
planned by the use Of the FunkenTele-
graf system, which is operated with
out permanent high aerial. From the
top of pole of no great length a small
captive balloon is sent into the air and
the wire from the transmitting instru
ment runs only to the pole. AS the
message leaves the instrument it goes
to the pole, and from there is attracted
to the balloon by means Of magnet,
which retransmits 1t by means of
Funken (sparks) to another similar
installation. This system, which is Cor
was before the war; in general use in
Germany's colonies, can be set up or
dismantled in a few minutes.
1t is said to be effective to a dis
tance of 500 or 600 miles, and as the
distance from where the Formidable
was sunk to the nearest part of the
German coast Is only some 700 miles,
by means of this system and one other
similarly equipped submarine in the
North sea. to act as retransmitting
station, there would seem to be no
great difficulty in getting the mes
sage through
