had undertaken to imprison him. A
swift plan had come into his own
mind. He heard the crackle OF a wire

slant later he had sprung up the last
stair and closed behind him the door
of the operators room.
At the key there sat youth, the re-
ceivers OF the equipment strapped to
his ears. The crAckle and roar of the
wireless equipment, and the shoppers
on his ears, left the operator unable
to understand what was said to him:
but he comprehended very quickly the
language Of the pistol muzzle which
was showed against his side-a pistol
which he did not know was epcpcy, but
which he was quite convinced was
wholly unlovely in its look.
Count Frederick bent above him
and scrubbed few words on a bit of
paper at the desk, his pistol against
the operators ribs.

came another cry from the lips of the

the point Of certain changes in theil
own plans-and counted that any
change must be for the better.
Look" said Kitty as they stood
at the crest Of the cliff gazing out ovel
the white-topped waves toward the
nodding sails of the rapidly-advancine
craft. "A two-master, under heavy
sail. Auxiliary, no doubt What can

Count Frederick at her side studying

He smiled at her as though amused.

deed such proved to be the plans of
the little vessel.
There were other results of the can
non shot which might not have been
suspected. The natives, scattered
here and there along the beach, in the
forest, or in their village, were seized
with sudden terror of what they i'm
agined to be new enemy. AS fast
as they could they scuttled for shell
ter in the woods or in the caverns
that lay below the hills, the greater
number finding refuge in the latter
hiding places. OF these, some made
their way in their terror quite through
the series of caverns until at length
they emerged at the crest OF the cliff
by way of the passage which had
brought Frederick and Kitty there at
an earlier time.
These found the summit of the rock
already occupied. The two strangers
who had caused all the turmoil in the
village stood at the summit looking
out at the sea, and waving signals to
the incoming vessel. For an instant
the natives stood irresolute, but it was
not for long. They identified these
two white strangers, whoever or what

GUS advances to the extent OF casting
an arm about Kitty as she would have
fled. The sight was enough. Without
pausing for any question he sprang
forward and sent Wyndham reeling
against the corner of the cabin with
one swift sweep of his arm. With the
other arm he pushed Kitty away. An
instant, and he had joined her and was
half carrying her toward the door.
Sudden wrath now seized the soul
of this gentleman lately atuned to soft
err emotions. Stop" he called out.

A NOTED SCIENTIST And
ASTRONOMER DIES AT
FLAGSTAFF

DR.. Percival Lowell, one of
the worlds greatest astronomers
and scientists, and owner of
the Lowell Observatory of Flag
staff, died suddenly from a
stroke of apoplexy in that city
Sunday, the 18th inst.
DR.. Lowell was born in Boston
March 13, 1856. He graduated
from Harvard as an A. B. in
1876; L. L. D., Amherst, 1907;
Clark, 1909. He was appointed
in 1883 foreign secretary and
councillor of the Korean En-
bassy to the United States,
was one of the first foreigners
in Korea, resided in Japan for
several years and wrote many
books on that country.
He began his work in astron-
omy in 1870, and in 1894 founded
Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff,
especially for the study of the
planet Mars, gaining worldwide
fame for his discoveries con-
cerning this planet. The main
telescope at the Lowell Observa-
tory in Flagstaff is said to be
the second largest in the world
and cost a good-sized fortune.
Mr.. Lowell was said to have
been a multi-millionaire.
Besides leaving a widow Che

in Flagstaff to mourn his loss,
DR.. Lowell is survived by mar
ried sister in the east, a sister,

versity.
A Flagstaff paper, speaking
of the esteemed gentleman's
death, among other things, says:

state of Arizona lost a great

none so much as the scientific
world of which he was one of
