Quest examined the Strengthening
lump of metal steadily. The most Gu

it was absolutely sound and showed
no signs of damage. He turned to the
professor.
II think you are the only one who
will be able to appreciate this, profess
sor," he remarked. Look" It is
fragment of opotan-a distinct and
wonderful specimen of opotan.'
Everyone looked puzzled.
| But what" Lenora inquired, ''is
opotan?"
''It is new metal" Quest explained,
gravely, towards which scientists
have been directing a great deal of at
tention lately. It has the power of col
lecting all the electricity from the

Your last little effort, Craig?" he
demanded, sternly.
Craig made no reply. The profess
sor, who had disappeared for a mo-
ment, came back to them.
"There is a smaller room across the
hail." he said, which will do for our
purpose"
Craig suddenly turned and faced
them.

you will with me. Take me to the

Quest pointed threatening finger
at him.

he said, 'but science is still your mas

criminals to their doom. It shall take

Quest felt his forehead and found it
damp. There were dark rims under
his eyes. Before him was Craig, with
a little band around his forehead and
the mirror where they could all see it
The professor stood little in the
background. Laura and French were
side by side, gazing with distended
eyes at the blank mirror, and Lenors

DR.. L. w. King said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the
dead was based on affection and rev.
erence, but the Babylonian, in the
main, was prompted by fear. The
Babylonians were probably more
spook-ridden than any other nation
of antiquity, and their magical texts
made it clear that the most terrible
class of spirits were the ghosts Of
the dead who for some reason had
been unable to enter the underworld.

with almost lifelike detail From the
corner of that room where the profess
sor was standing, came smothered
groan. 1t was a terrifying, paraly-
zing moment. Even the silence seemed
charged with awful things Then sud-
denly, without any warning, the pic
ture faded completely away. A cry,
which was almost howl of anger,
broke from Quests lips. Craig had
fallen sideways from his chair. There
was an ominous change in his face.
Something seemed to have passed
from the atmosphere of the room,
some tense and nameless quality.

At the public meeting held at the

to get the sentiment of our citizens in
regard to water supply. the fact was
brought out that all were in favor of
an additional supply, but whether it
should be Lake Michigan water or an
additional artesian we'll, ii was quite
evenly divided. Although vote was
taken, more seemed to favor another
well. There is only one way to do and
that is for the Council or Board of
Public Works to look into the matter
and then go ahead aud do as they think
best. There were about fifty in at
tendance and seventeen voted for Lake
Michigan water and twenty-six for a
new well, some not voting at all. 1t
IS up to the Council to furnish water
and they will no doubt use the best
judgement.
