The chauffeur had no intention of
remaining inactive outside while he
knew that something that interested
him was transpiring inside He had
crept up by the side of the house to
the window. But he could see little
and hear nothing.
A moment he strained every sense
1t was no use. He must devise some
other way. How could he get into
that room? Slowly he returned to his
car, thinking it over. There he stood
for a moment revolving in his mind
what to do. He looked up the road.
An idea came to him. There he saw a
little runabout approaching rapidly.
Quickly he went around to the front
of his car and lifted up the hood Then
he bent over and pretended to be tink-
ering with his engine.
AS the car was about to pass he de-
Hberately stepped back, apparently
not seeing the runabout, and was
struck and knocked down.
The runabout stopped, the emer
gency brakes biting hard.

in deep mourning. AS she got off and

At the end of the platform the chauf-

The theory of electrons and ions
has provided a scientific basis for ther-
apeutic action, a basis more solidly
planted, he insists, than we have for
the action of most of our drugs. Among
the favorable accounts of ion treat
ment published recently is that of
Aufaure with acute and subacute ar.
ticular rheumatism treated by driving
a ten per cent solution OF sodium
salicylate directly into the joints with
the electric current. The effect was
found to be superior to that with in
ternal administration of the drug.

THIRTY-FOURTH EPISODE
THE HARBoR DEFENSE PLANS.

Alone in the doorway before his
rude shack on the shore of the prom
ontory sat an old fisherman, gazing
out f1xedly at the harbor as though
deeply concerned over the weather
which, as usual, was unreasonable.
Suddenly he started and would have
disappeared into his hut but for the
fact that, although he could not him
self be seen, he had already seen the
intruder.
1t was trooper from Fort Dale. He
galloped up and, as though obeying to
the letter his instructions, handed an
envelope to the fisherman. Then, with
out word, he galloped away again.
The fisherman opened it quickly. In
side was a photograph and note. He
read:
FORT DALE.
Professor Arnold:
j. Smith, clerk in the war depart
ment, has disappeared. We are not
sure, but fear that he has copy of
the new Sandy Hook defense plans. II
is believed he is headed your way. He
walks with a slight limp. Look out
for him.
LIEUTENANT WOODWARD.
For a long time the fisherman APP
peared to study the face on the photo
graph until he had it indelibly implant-
ed in his memory
Finally he turned and entered his
hut Hastily he took off his stained
REFER. From a wooden chest he drew
another outfit of clothes. The trans
formation was complete. When he is
sued forth from his hut again, it was
no longer the aged disciple of Izaak
Walton. He was now trim chauf-
feur, bearded and goggled.
In the library of his bungalow, Del
Mar was pacing up and down, now and
then scowling to himself as though
there flashed over his mind stray recol-
lections of how some of his most cher
ished plans were miscarrying.
Still, on the whole, he had nothing
to complain of. For. moment later
the valet entered with a telegram for
which he had evidently been waiting
Del Mar seized it eagerly and tore
open the yellow envelope. On the
blank was printed in the usual way
the following noncommittal message:
Washington, D. c., August II, 1915.
Mr.. Del Mar:
What you request is coming. An
swer to sign of the ring. SMITH.
Good" muttered Del Mar as he fin
ished reading. Strange, what little
gold will do-when you know how to
dispose of It."
He smiled cynically to himself at the
sentiment.
At the little railroad station they
were quite proud of the fact that at
least two of the four hacks had been
replaced already by taxicabs.
1t was, then, with some surprise and
not a little open jealousy that they
saw a new taxicab drive up and take
its stand by the platform.
If the chauffeur transformed from
the lonely fisherman, had expected
cordial reception, he might better have
stayed before his hut, for the glances
the other drivers gave him were as
black and lowering as the clouds he
had been looking at.
The new chauffeur got off his seat.
Instead OF trying to brazen it out, he
walked over to the others who were
standing in a group waiting for the APP
preaching train whose whistle had al
ready sounded.
I'm not going to locate here per
manently," he said, pulling out a roll
of bills as he spoke. Leave any fare
claim to me-" he added, passing a
bill of good denomination to each of
Che four jehus.
