CAUSES STRANGE ExPERIENc,
 ON NEW YoRk-FRlsco LINE
An Early Morning Call From N.. York Will Most Likely Find
 Frisco Man in Bed.

New York-A New York busino.. man called the manager of his branch house in San Francisco on the Inn, distance telephone at nine o'clocs (New York time) the other mornin. and found him in bed asleep. It was six a. m. in San Francisco when the New Yorker lifted the receiver from the telephone hook.
 This peculiar incident was brousht about b. the recent completion of the American Telephone & Telegram Company wires from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This line wipes out three hours of time and 3,400 miles of dis. tance between the two coasts.
 When old Father Time heard the first conversation over this line he must have gasped! Many complica. tions may arise from the use of this line. Suppose a San Francisco GUS. toner should call the sales manager of big New York firm at five o'clock in the afternoon (San Francisco time). The answ might come back over the wire that the New Yorker had gone to the theater. The Californian sit. ting at his desk at the close of his work day would probably be advised that the business man he wanted had finished his work for the day, closed his office, played game of billiards, gone home and had supper. dressed for the erening and was at that min. ute attending the theater.
 Prior to the completion of the San Francisco line the longest distance over which the voice could travel was a little more than two thousand miles between New York and Denver.
 The San Francisco line was planned and constructed by the Experimental and Research Department of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, which is composed of five hundred and fifty scientists and en- gsneers. Although tue expense of maintaining this department is very great, It's work has been of tremen- dous benefit to the public. It is respon- sible for many improvements in tele. phone apparatus by which the scope of the service of the Bell System has been broadened until now 1t covers the entire territory of the nation,

and yet in his minds eye he saw the mine, this girls father struggling for breath and life. He saw the will which made her one of the greatest heiresses in America.

 He gave the name to her the next morning and immediately left the house. He had an idea. He was al ways having ideas. About half after 3 he arrived downtown, stopped be. fore building, went into the corridor and searched the wall directory. He found Fal Green, the eccentric pho tographer, on the twelfth floor, He was about to seek the elevator when another name caught his attention.

Almost in stantly she saw a strange face form upon the liquid. She looked up quick ly, in time to see two heads suddenly withdraw and heard rattle of wood as the aperture's covering fell into place.
 What could that mean? She stepped back to the wall. She waited breath. lessly, but nothing happened. Her first thought was that some one was trying 10 steal the photographers secret, and she became determined to frustrate this base plan.
 When Hassam Ali looked again In order to direct the ray of the inventor Zudora was gone! She had evidently seen something. He felt an urgent need of getting away at once.
 Oddly enough, she passed him ip the upper hall as he was making for the elevator. So intent was she upon Der own quest that she gave the man but d passing glance.
 Inventors are careless generally in all things save that upon which their thoughts are set. It never occurred to the inventor of the destructive ray tU lock thp door o flor tho Hiuht nf hn man who professed to be his friend but who in reality was the worst en- emy he had. So Zudora had no diin- culty in entering the room She did % as noiSelessly as q cat.
 What she saw confused her at first. going down to the sea. But what sig nitied all these retorts wires, keys and squares of black rubber? No man with all these strange things about him would contemplate the robhing of an other mans secret. She heard the man mutter q few words Her heart miss ed beat. Quietly as she had enter. ed she stole forth. What should she do? How should she act in face of this tremendous discovery? She must see storm and ask his advice.
 The inventive photographer had not been inactive all this time He sensed danger when he saw that weird pho iograph on the floor. He determined his actions at once. If he could not have the secret of that magical ray for the fathcrand no one should have it.
 storm was greatly excited when Zu. dora disclosed her discoveries. Togeth. CT they went to the local secret service office.
 They found the poor inventor. who ill his soul wanted only the welfare of humanity. They found him a bro ken reed. Some one had destroyed the very heart of the machine it had taken

 Uncle what do you think of thts new ray talk? :" asked zudora one even ing, after reading some editorial com ment upon the half forgotten subject. which had not. however, been forgot ten in the least by her. Could there be such a thing?'
 My dear child, in these days nothing is impossible They fly in the air; they swim under water; they speak from ship to ship without any visible means. A ray to penetrate steel under water is not only possible, but probable. I'll wager that a hundred men across the world are trying to accomplish this"
 And evidently one man has accom- plished it."
 Evidently" agreed Hassam Ali.
 But why should he blow up ships in our own harbor? Why should he deal death without just cause%
 "Ah, these men of true science! What is the death of man or two compared to the achievement? l dare say that this man could not resist the impulse to try his internal ray upon the living. All scientists are egotists. Why don't you dig into it? There's international fame for any one who solves this"

 Zudora remained in the mystic room and reread a letter she had received from Storm that day. The poor boy had lost his only photograph of her and desired a new one Well, he should have it and just as soon as she could have it taken. She sat down be- fore the crystal globe. So her uncle thought she was not only skillful, but lucky? Was he regretting his bargain?
 She stared into the globe, and pres ently a strange fantasy appeared in it's clear depths, She saw herself stand ing upon the crest of hill, in silhou, ette against the setting sun, garbed in flowing white. Presently she was join, ed by another Zudora dressed in black. Then the two shapes came slowly down the hill in separate paths, and at the end of each path stood a somber Has sam Ali The white Zudora. when she reached Hassam Ali, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.
