A Submarine Had Been Blown Up.

A Submarine Had Been Blown Up. unfortunately loaded for target prac- tice-had been melted. absolutely melt ted after the manner of melted metal exposed to some terrific heat. And all this with the plates protected by the water-~an agency that had been ca pable of sending heat ray through water! This news not only aroused the United States, but set warning Flu rope by the ears. Secret agents from Germany and Russia came to New York, with millions to their credit But neither they nor the home secret service could find out anything. You cannot track the going or coming of the wind. You cannot follow an ocean ripple.
 In an interview the secretary of war declared that the government had not been approached by any inventor of 8 heat ray. All it could do was to wait and see if the magician had struck accidentally and experimentally or with deadly intent.
 For three days the newspapers ran scare heads, but nothing further de. veloped. The foreign agents wasted their gold and the home agents their time.
 Then came the blowing up of one of the J. B. Starr colliers or, rather, the sinking. The plates showed the same terl..N'c agency which had destroyed the submarine. But this time there seemed to be slight clew. The Starr people were on strike. and 1t was de duced that some personal enemy had destroyed the collier. A collier had been anchored in the vicinity of the submarine, and 1t seemed quite possi ble that the inventor had thrown his ray toward the collier and the subma rine had had the misfortune to pass ir

over that city as with fine comb Nothing was found. The leaders oi the Starr strike were consistently shadowed but nothing came of this endeavor. It was even ascertained that the strikers were as deeply mys. titied as any one.
 John storm was the attorney for the Starr company. On the day after the sinking of the collier he received note, typewriter and postmarked Bos- ton, that the collier had been sunk ac- cidentally. Immediately he went down to the Starr offices and laid the note before the directors.
 "Gentlemen, there is madman some where in New York city. This post mark merely proves to me that tho man went to Boston for the express purpose of sending the note from there. I honestly believe that it has nothing to do with the strike"
 "I wish the Lord we knew, storm" said the vice president. If this man can burn steel under water he has in his hands the terrible power of being able to demolish the whole city if the whim strikes him. They tell me that Washington has gone crazy over the affair. It would give a million for the secret. if only to take it out of the hands of an irresponsible person."
 shall l send this note to the secret service people to compare 1t with the OtherI" asked Storm.
 Not bad idea"
 Twenty four hours later Storm re- ceived a call from the secret service people. The two notes had been writ ten upon the same machine. It was a cul-desac. Every one seemed to blum der into blind alley. Several times storm thought of Zudora, but he re- sisted the impulse. He did not care to have her tangled up In an affair like this. An, if she would but take his advice-marry him openly and defy that sly devil who called himself her uncle! Four different times the man had tried to kill him, but the basic cause for this desire of his death was the most puzzling mystery of all. Why should Hassam Ali wish his death so earnestly as to risk his own security in the effort to accomplish his ends? So far it had never occurred to Storm that Hassam Ali might be wishing the death of Zudora also.
 Storm and Zudora were having tea at the Claridgo one afternoon, and when they were through she suggested that they take a look at the bulletin board. Every one was war news mad. "Look!' she cried. "They have caught the Emden at last and destroy ed her."
 "It's pity" said Storm. "That com mander was brave sailor. Wen, he'll have a niche in history all his own. By Georgev' he exclaimed suddenly. IVY hat is itr'

GpeciGl to The Nesos.
Washington. d. c., Feb. 4.--The fate
of the administrators shipping meas
ure is still in the balance. Maybe late
this afternoon or tonight the resolu-
tion to re-commit the bill with definite
instructions for its amendment, will
be adopted. AS matters rest this af-
ternoon before the proposition is
brought to vote, the Democratic
leaders in the Senate are continuing
to endeavor to drag the ship purchase
bill out of the danger in which it was
placed when seven Democrats joined
alliance with the Republicans to de-
feat the measure.
Among the insurgent Democrats
were Senator vardaman, of Missis-
sippi; Senator Bankhead. of Alabama; ;
Senator Clark. of Arkansas; Senator
Bryan. of Florida, and Senators Smith
and Hardwick. of Georgia.
Recalcitrant democrats fatty re-
fused to yield to concessions, agreed
upon by the majority in secret caucus
Tuesday night. and administration
leaders found they could not muster
enough votes to defeat the coalition
of republicans and insurgent demo
Gratis who insist ON sending the bill
back to committee without instruc-
tions. That would mean its death for
the session.
Instead of pressing their plan to re-
commit with instructions, therefore
the party leaders contented themselves
with castigating in the open senate
the seven democrats who overturned
the shipping bill program last Mon
day. Senator Stone, selected for this
undertaking held the floor several
hours, bitterly denouncing the seven
insurgents as the ''recreant democrats
who had endeavored to unhorse their
party
Senator Stone particularly attacked
Senator Clarke of Arkansas whom he
described as the leader in the revolt,
and Senator Camden of Kentucky.
He charged that Senator Clarke had
