he entered.
First he went to the door and set q
chair under the knob. Next he drew
an electric bull's-eye and flashed it
about the ROOM He glanced about
and finally went over to Del Mars
desk, where he examined batch OF
letters, his back to the secret panel.
Arnold was running rapidly through
the papers on the desk, as he flashed
his electric bull's-eye on Them when
the panel in the wall opened slowly
and Del Mar stepped into the room
noiselessly. To his surprise he saw
a round spot of light from an electric
flashlight focused on his desk Some-
one was there! He drew a gun.
Arnold started suddenly He heard
the cooking of revolver. But he did
not look around. He merely thought
an instant quicker than lightning,
then pulled out spool OF black thread
with one hand. while with the other
he switched off the light, and diyed
down on his stomach on the floor in
the shadow.
Who's that?" demanded De Mar.
"Confound it! / should have fired at
sight"
The room was so dark now that it
was impossible to see Arnold. Del
Mar gazed intently. Suddenly Ar
nolds electric torch glowed forth in
spot across the room.
Del Mar blazed at 1t, firing every
chamber of his revolver, then switched
on the lights
No one was in the room. But the
door was open. Del Mar gazed about,
vexed, then ran to the open door.
For second or two he peered out
In rage, finally turning back into the
empty room. On the mantlepiece lay
the torch of the intruder 1t was one
In which the connection is made by
ring falling on a piece of metal. The
ring had been left up by Arnold. Con-
nection had been made as he was
leaving the room by pulling the thread
which he had fastened to the ring. Del
Mar followed the thread as it led
around the room to the doorway.
Course him!" swore Del Mar, smash,
ing down the innocent torch on the
floor In fury, as he rushed to the desk
and saw his papers all disturbed.
Outside, Arnold had made good his
escape. He paused in the moonlight
and listened. No one was pursuing He

herself out of the house quietly. Di.

She moved along in the direction Of
the dock. At the dock the disreputable
steamer to which Del Mar had dis.

sailors now working under the gruff
orders Of the rough captain. About a
capstan were wound the turns of a
long wire rope at the end of which was
a three-pronged drag hook.
Already, on the shore, at an old de-
serted shack of fisherman, two Of Del
Mars men had been waiting since be-
fore sun-up, having come in a dirty,
dingy fishing smack anchored off
shore.

Elaine sat in her dressing gown up
In her room, about to retire.
Her maid had left her, and she
picked up the slip of paper from her
dresser, looking at 1t thoughtfully.
What can crude drawing of

herself.
For long time she studied the pa

She took pretty little alarm clock

the moonlight streaming In through
the windows the room was dark. He
turned on the lights and crossed to the
panel in the wall. AS he touched

switched off the lights and went
through the panel, closing 1t.
Outside, at the other end Of the pas

the invitation with pleasure. He had

"a Professor Arnold to sea you,

Professor Arnold?" repeated Wood

Arnold. Well, show him In anyway"
The orderly ushered in a we'll
dressed man with dark, heavy beard
and large horn spectacles. Wood
ward eyed him cautiously and a bit
suspiciously, as the stranger seated
himself and made few remarks.
The moment the orderly left the
room, however, the professor lowered
his voice to whisper Woodward

more closely, then laughed and shook
hands cordially.
The professor leaned over again

While Pastor Russell claims that the
Lords second advent to earth is
simply 10 introduce a sinless age

coming of Christ, will be raised to
enter this sinless age, when they too
can enter and make their election TO
eternal bliss also a certainty. The vile

THE DUTY OF PREPAREDNESS


1t was pertinent question that Mr..
Henry L. Stimson put to his audience
at Carnegie Hall recently, when, re-
calling the action of Holland and
Switzerland upon the invasion of Bel
GUM, he asked: 'Is our standard of
duty different from that which has
guided these other neutral countries ?
Is the right which in our case has been
violated less important than the right
which in their case was only threaten
ed ?"
There is one way of evading the ans
wer by pleasant generalities about the
desirability of securing settlements by
amicable means. When Switzerland
and Holland proceeded instantly to
mobilize their troops it was not for
purposes of aggression, but only TO
safeguard the rights Of neutrality and
to insure the immunity Of their own
citizens 1t was clear at once that
neither government would omit any
act necessary to the performance of
this sacred duty. That Germany could
not reasonably expect the United
States to be less jealous of its rights
is self-evident yet surely it is no less
evident that the United States was
unable to adopt to the same degree
what Mr.. Stimson calls the policy of
temperate frmness. As Switzerland
and Holland at the very outbreak of
the war fastened to prepare for the
worst, so with US practically not one
step has been taken except to adver-
tise to the world our impotence"
That we are indeed utterly unpre-
pared is a lamentable truth that can
by no means be controverted. But il
is truth that has long been recog-
nized and still nothing is done. Last
autumn the Secretary Of War made a
strong yet modest appeal to Congress
urging certain obvious reforms in
tended to meet the most glazing de-
ficiencies of our army. There was
new in his discoveries; they
had all been made before, and the |
faults he spoke of were recognized by
every one. Yet Congress refused to
act, and adjourned without taking the
least notice of any Of his recommends
lions. Our navy has been neglected in
ike manner. In short, as Mr.. Stimson
says, our past action or want Of action
IS enough to justify the belief that
We do not really mean to protect our
tights"
1t would be contrary to all human
experience to suppose that our rights
will be respected while we are practi-
ally unable to stand up for them.
And if we really do mean TO stand up
or them the only way is TO prepare
or whatever emergency may arise.
