The dry cracked voice broke off.
Arnaud staggered to his feet his hands
outstretched in a movement Of tragic
resignation. "That is my explanation.
Make an end" he said.
Colonel Destinn did not move. In
the yellow sun-scorched atmosphere his
own face looked livid, and there were
fresh lines about the mouth which gave
it a deeper, more ruthless power and
concentration. The pencil with which
he had been playing lay snapped In
half in the middle Of the table.
'Your ten minutes are over, and you
have justified yourself" he said. "You

They watched each other in silence.
In Arnaud's eyes there were fear and
incredulous question. He made vague
uncertain movement as though cropping
through darkness. Then came the sud
den inevitable collapse of an exhausted
personality and the man was once more
the automaton, the instrument Of a pre-
dominating will. Without a word he
saluted and turned and staggered from
the room.

Speed Upon the Water.

A boat has been designed by D. N.
Brown of Grand Haven, Mich, which
on test runs has attained d speed of
40 miles an hour, says Popular Sci
ence. The body of the craft is made
of thin galvanized iron over a bass
wood framework two feet wide and
twenty feet long. Two galvanized iron
air tanks are attached to an outrigger
five feet from the rear end on both
Sides When the four-cylinder motor,
set in the rear, whirls a six-inch pro-
peller, the prov rises out of the water
and the craft skins along like a huge
bird over the surface. the entire
weight resting on about three feet Of
the stern. The two tanks maintain
the equilibrium.
The boat has proved a success in all
ways, and the inventor believes, with
an improved design, that he will have
craft capable of making 60 miles
an hour without being crowded.

Advice From seventy Years Aao.

To young ladies, who, regardless of
hard times, deck themselves as if for
the sacrificial altar: Ladies must re-
collect that because their male friends
do not tell their pecuniary dis
tresses, it does not follow that they
are at ease in these troublesome times.
Many man worth his thousands is
"cramped" now. Ladies': Be econom-
ical; lay off your rings, put on your
soiled slippers, resume and mend your
rent gowns We call on females to
practice economy, to cut off extrava-
gances, regulate your expenses-cur-
tail your wants, and show your affec-
tionate husbands, kind brothers and
fond fathers that you are ready to
hear a recital of their troubles, that
you will sympathize with them, and If
necessary resign luxuries, and do 1t
with a good grace, and have none the
less smiles for them for what they
would gladly avoid and what they are
not to blame for enduring.-From the

CHAPTER TX.
Justification.


Colonel Destinn bent over the map
spread out before him in an attitude of
concentrated attention. 1t was an un-
usual-looking map. roughly outlined
and almost destitute of the ordinary
network Of mountains and rivers. At
and from thence downward there ran
a dark red line, almost undertaking,
which cut the upper part of the white
linen In two distinct halves. On either
side Of this line there were towns
marked and the beginnings of water
ways, but in no instance did these ex-
tend beyond an inch on either hand. 1t
was as though the red line had alb
sorbed everything, and that what lay
beyond its immediate radius was of no
account, a blank white waste of de-
populated country. The lower part of
the map had been painted yellow, and
there the red line faltered and broke
off. Colonel Destinn's pencil hovered
over the jagged end, and his brows
were knitted into an expression of
thwarted impatience. On the other side
Of the table an elderly man wearing
the uniform Of French army doctor
sat and stroked his neatlytrimmed
beard with reflective hand. From
time to time he glanced doubtfully at
his companion, and at last, receiving
no attention, gave vent to an apollo
getie cough.

Cat Dives for Froqs.

ing of the escape Of Ed Treaeo from
the State institution for the feeble
minded at Blackfoot, says the Poea-

the phone, and when Desk Sergeant
Lewis hung up the receiver he walked
to the window of the court room and
saw Treaeo standing at the door of the
Jail, talking with former acquaint
anee. The officer invited him in and
locked him up to await an officer from
the institution, who will be in the city
today. Ed has the habit Of running
away now and then. The last time he
left Blaekfoot WAS several months ago,

city he went to the city Jail and asked
for his mail. As he iswell known to
the officers, he was locked up and sent
back the same day.
