CHAPTER XVIII.
Scar Face.

Scar Face.
Welcher, upon the advent Of Inez
Castro, had left the room. Inez had
handed him a slip of paper-one that
he was anxious to peruse. He went
below to read it. 1t was another little
seductive note from her, asking him
to meet her once again at their tryst-
ing place-Lonesome Cove inn, three
miles south of Seaport.
Fortified with proper stimulants,
Welcher made his way at once to that
hostelry.
At last she came. Welcher sprang
forward and caught her in his arms.
You've got to let me see you often
often, do you understand" he said.
LET me tell you, charming one,"
said Inez, that what happens cannot
be helped by me. 1 have a husband.
have not? A hard master, this Her
nandez. When he commands, must
obey. If 1 fail"
She looked up. She rose. The door
was still shut, but within the room,
crouching behind Welcher, were three
MISUNDERSTANDING and his two
companions, Ponto and the brute.
What are you doing here?" cried
'Welcher, stepping back. Il thought
locked the door,"
You are fond OF locking doors,
friend Welcher," said Hernandez, ''but
this time you merely turned the key
"a key which doesn't lock. l have
rights here, imagine. Since my wife
sees fit to enter. enter also. May
inquire of my fair wife," he proceeded
suavely, what the heiress, Annette
Ilington, intends to do?"
None of your business" snapped
Joe Welcher, in return.
May l inquire of you, sir, then"
went on Hernandez, what you intend
to do?"
That's none of your business. toe"

CHAPTER XIX.
At Crooked Crag.


Hernandez, the gentleman adventur.
at, the clever smuggler of cocaine
and heroin, established his headquar-
tiers at the Crooked Crag. The pro-
prietor recognized him for what he
was; there was secret compact, un-
spoken, but well understood, between
the two.
Hernandez had located himself in
the secret, sound-proof room at
Crooked Crag. He was talking over
the telephone.
IT was false move" he conceded.
II should have steered clear Of your
Newport villa. If it hadn't been for
the apprentice seaman, l might have
turned a trick. AS it is, / am afraid
to show myself. think we will have
to wait for our yellow-blooded friend
to return from his failure at Annapo-
lis"
With the scrap of paper in his pos
session Neal had excused himself to
training station with definite pur-
pose in view. Once arrived there, he
handed the crumpled slip of paper to
the officer in command and told his
story
But all this went on unknown to
Hernandez. He had not missed the
scrap Of paper.
Half an hour later on wharf In
Newport there drew up very capable
little motor boat. Inez and her young
friend, Annette nington. boarded her.

terloper leaped upon it's step, opened
the door and flung himself inside, CIV
ing a quick order to the driver.
Neal retraced his steps and Annette
handed him scrap of paper that the
man had dropped during the struggle.
1t was a crumpled bit Of letter, and
what there was of it read like this:
note you are now located
at the "Crooked Crag" and
that the place is safe. Ten pounds
heroin shipped today. The consisn-
ment of cocaine follows Immediately.
did you recognize that MANI" said
Neal, breathlessly. ''He was the SNUG
gler that got away that night in Sea-
port. I remember him particularly by
the scar upon his face"
Annette started. 81 had forgotten"
she returned. "The scar upon his

finally exclaimed. Lost Isle is Lost

full of boiling water; but, look, look,

din.
The door opened stealthily. Joe
Welcher entered. Joey" cried An

Is degrees latitude. You can pass
examinations. And 1923 degrees longi-
tude. Right off the reel"
Joe Welcher mistook the inquiry for
mere airy persifiage. He failed en-
tire1y to connect it with the map. He
strobe to the table. The map still lay
there but now upon it's face APPEARED
none of the recently revealed inscfip-
tions, it was as blank as 1t had been
before. Welcher's fingers itched to
get hold of the map. He needed 1t in
lis business, for his business just now
was keeping out of trouble. He
stretched forth hand to take it.
"You and your old map" he said,
with an attempt at POPULARITY, "it's like
a game of solitaire. Let me look at
it again"
Annette folded it up and thrust it
into her bosom. mot so, joey" she
returned. ITS never going to leave
my possession again. It's precious
to me now"
A sudden light broke in upon Joe's
understanding. He peered at her cum
ningly. What's that you were say
ing about latitude and longitude?" he
queried.
Never you mind, joey" laughed
Annette, "all in good time your know.
What's on your mind?"
How did you know anything was
on my mind" replied Welcher. well,
you're right. There's an old friend
of yours downstairs, just come over
from New York-Miss Irene Cour-
tier"
We'll tidy up, then you can snow
her up" said his foster mother. She
swept Annette's belongings into a
huge old-fashioned valise. She had no
sooner finished than Inez Castro en-
tered the arena Of events.
81 read about it, just line in the
shore notes of New York paper

stroyed; you saved nothing, as / I'M
derstand?"
Nothing but Annette's valuables,"
returned Mrs. Hardin.
What next do you do-where now
do you go?" inquired Inez.
Mrs. Hardin's eyes glowed. 1--WE
shall go to Neal; for the present any
way, we have no other plans. We
can live near him for little while at
least"
And Neal is-?" queried Inez. Mrs.
Hardin told her-at the Naval Train
ing school at Newport.
Inez clapped her hands. "The long
arm of coincidence" she cried; my
father and /, we have our little villa
at Newport, as you had your little
cottage at Seaport. And you shall
visit me, as l visited you. You shall
visit me-and you Annette Ilington-
at my villa, in Newport. Good"
1t is to be said of Inez Castro that
she was universally resourceful. She
had no father. And as for villa at
Newport-she had never thought of
such a thing until that instant. Her
villa at Newport was a castle in the
air.

SYNOPSIS.

Marvellous instrument.

A marvellous instrument. the COM
pound interferometer, has been in
vented by Prof. G. W. Chamberlain.
president and head Of the physics de-
partment of Denison university. With
this instrument 1t is possible to meas
ure a distance as small as 100000
000th of an inch. This instrument will
in all probability be the most delicate
measuring instrument OF its kind for
many years to come. 1t is practically
impossible for the human mind to
realize the smallness of the distance
measurable by the compound inter-
ferometer, which is 400 times as pow
erful as the most perfect compound
microscope, but some idea can be
formed by the use of comparisons.
This 1-2O. 000,0 00th Of an inch Is the
apparent size of the head Of an ordi-
nary pin viewed at distance Of 227
miles, or the size of a 80 cent piece
viewed at a distance of 5000 miles,
or the size of a human face viewed at
distance equal to twice the circum
renee Of our mother earth.

New Armored Motor Car.

A novel type of armored motor car
has been designed by a resident OF
Lowell, Mass. 1t contains some very
original ideas as to protection from
rifle and gun fire. The car is shaped
exactly like a turtle, the upper and
lower shell being joined at distance
of about sixteen inches above the
ground. The wheels are almost en-
tirely covered by the armor. The lat
ter is composed of steel shells. curved
to represent a turtle back. the in
ventor claiming that such a construc-
tion renders the persons in the car i'm
mune from rife and machine gun fire.

air. LoopAoles for firing. a periscope
',r steering, emergency doors in the
rear and On both sides, a powerful
motor under the drivers seat. and a
qulck-fring gun mounted on a re-
volving base-these are all parts o.

WHOLE THEATER UNDER HAT
Carlyle, With His Usual Astuteness,
Recognized Qualities Of Dickens
at Quite an Early Stage.

Charles Dickens dealt not with sub
tleties of character, but with broad
human emotions. His good people
were all very good and his bad people
were all unmitigatedly bad-a set Of
affairs almost unknown in real life.
In short, he was a dramatist; his fig
ures stood for something, they were
an impersonation Of ideas and mo-
tives.
Carlyle, with his usual astuteness,
recognized it at quite an early stage
OF Dickens popularity.
81 had to go yesterday to Dickens
reading at the Hanover rooms" he
writes, ito the complete upsetting Of
my evening habitudes and spiritual
composure. Dickens does 1t capitally
such as it is; acts better than any
Macready in the world; the whole
tragic, comic, heroic. theater visible,
performing under one hat and keeping
US laughing-in a sorry way, some OF
US thought-the whole night He is a
good creature, too, and makes fifty or
sixty pounds by each Of these read
ings."
A whole theater under one hat
that Is really the true description OF
Dickens, far truer than the remark
that he is a whole library in a few
volumes.

Poorer Glass Accept without Protest
style Of Dress Which Custom Has
Dictated to Their Glass.

AS to the women OF poems, their
dress Is generally somber hued and
modest. No scarlet blanket covers
them. but a blue reboso, or shawl.
which is generally placed over the
head in lieu Of a hat.
The women of the poorer classes ac-
cept, with what to the foreigner seems
almost a pathetic resignation. the
style OF dress which custom has die
tated to their class.
There is no aping OF the rich In

takes her dainty way, or the pretty

glance-but no, that would not be
truel
She casts them, but she will not
strive to initiate. Is there not some
virtue in such non-emulation, or is It
but the spirit of deadened race? Yet
this rather somber and unattractive
apparel is found more among the peon
class; the Indian girl in some parts OF
Mexico-as at Tehuantepec-wears a
handsome native costume. derived
from Aztec days, at holiday time.

Straw for Panama Hats. /,

Toquilla straw. from which Panama
hats are made, is obtained from five or
six species of the palm. The most i'm
portant of these is known as Carludo-
vica palmata, and grows in the warm,
moist regions of the Pacific coast in
Colombia and Ecuador, and also in the
forests OF Peru along the headwaters
Of the Amazon. This palm attains a
height OF six to ten feet. The leaves
are fan shaped. Toquilla straw is ex-
ported to the United States and other
countries. where the hats are made
by machinery.

BOSSES HOT WATER SUPPLY
Natural Arteslan Wells Furnish City
More Than Can Be Used-Big
Swimming Tank Established.

Boise, Ida, has all the hot water it
wants for every purpose at no expense
except for the piping. There are natu-
raj artesian wells just outside the city
at the foot of a range of hills which
furnish more hot water than can be
used, water at a temperature of 172
degrees. A vast city swimming tank
with electric lights at the bottom has
been built there. The water is cooled
to the proper bathing temperature,
and here the whole town bathes. The
hot water is piped to heat buildings
and residences, says the Technical
World, and for use for every purpose
that such water may be wanted The
city streets are sprinkled with hot wa
ter, chiefly because there is none other
handy. The problem in Boise is to
make artificial ice to cool the water
sufficiently for drinking purposes. OF
course there is cold water, but the het
variety is the more plentiful. The wells
are 400 feet deep and the supply is
so great that truck farms are irrigated
from them. The waste product helps
the dam in Snake river, which gener-
ates power for electric light and sup
plies cold as well as hot water for
domestic use.

Once-ages ago, so long that scarce
ly anyone remembers 1t (about three
months, should think it was)-shoes
differed In size and in state of preser-
walton, but their colors were black or
tan and women kept them on by lacing
them up the front or buttoning them
up the side. That was all; there was
nothing more to It; the imagination
went no further. Today women do
not wear shoes at all; their feet are
incased in cubist landscapes, in flu
