DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

am eighteen and know .
young doctor nve years my senior.
Ny parents are on to Chicago
for three months, and my friend
has asked me to go to Atlantic
City for two months and board in
q hotel and go under his name.
We are not engaged and am
puzzled as to what I should do.
He admits he loves me dearly and
desires to make me his wife when
my parents return MADGE.
MY dear child. OF course you can't
do this. Going under this
mans name when you have no right
to It would put you in an impossible
situation. You must not dream OF
going to Atlantic City without the
full knowledge and consent of your
parents. You are too young to be
in a hotel unchaperoned. No man
who really cared for you would sug-
Eest such a thing unless he were so
young that he did not realize the
.normity OF what he was asking. I
think you should take your mother
into your confidence at once, since
your young doctor Is Il say II sadly
and thouEhtfuIly) either a BIT OF =
knave or a good bit Of a fool! This
isn't the way a man treats a girl he
wants for his wife. It would black
en- your name and might ruin your
character. Remember. It can't be

HIC7ANER -'The Man Fish'--By Jean de la Hire

Cyclone, on account OF its greater
speed, was going ahead to show the
way. the admiraIs had decided that
the torpedo boat now bearing Severac
and the electric mirror would still
go in advance.
In case a cruiser blew up the Cy-
clone could abandon its position and
go wherever Severac judged best.
On the morning OF April 81 the gen
eral under order to depart was given.
In order to more perfectly maintain
its unity. the fleet only moved at the
rate of thirteen knots an hour.
The extra rapid torpedo boats OF
the Cyclone type, which could move.
owing to a recently invented engine.
at thirty-siX knots, regulated their
speed by those cruisers OF the second
rank, like the Indomitable or Nalmy,
which could not make more than
fifteen or sixteen knots.
Hictaner, present and invisible,
had watched the concentration OF the
fleet, and began to accompany them.
He placed himself 100 meters be
meath the Cyclone, anu kept himself
exactly at the end OF a 100-yard plumb
line falling perpendicularly from the
middle of the torpedo-boats keel.
There he was Invisible, because 10 4
man on the surface the sea Is only
transparent forty or fifty yards down.
He, on the other hand, could see the
black hull. because the
transparency OF the sea is far greater
from below.
Thus, the feet knew nothing OF He

about the fieet-everything with one

When he boarded the tOrpedo-boat
Severac had said to Ciserat:
"Commandant, Is It true that Hic-
taner and his Torpedo leapt twice over
the deck OF tho Cyclone?"
Eyes, Monsieur" replied Ciserat.
The lieutenant did not show any favors
to the chief who had been forced upon
him, for the great anarchists criminal
past was repellant to the young man.
He gave him merely q cold politeness,
which accorded with his sentiments and
his duty.

out"
Monsieur De Ciserat bowed.
Twenty minutes later. with his cleo
trio mirror slung over his shoulder,
Charles Severac set foot on the Cy-
clones deck
The centralizing Of the immense feet
was only finished on April 20.
Aboard all the vessels. from the small
est submarine to the largest cruiser.
there was the impression that Hictaner,
invisible and threatening. was roam

Each man. from the humblest sailor

No one relied upon anything but

Hictaner would take the risk of being

long silence followed the reading
OF the ultimatum.
Admiral Beresford rose and said:
Gentlemen. the bad faith OF this
document is shown in its three sigma
lures.
The whole world knows that Mois
cite is at the Lost Isle. We cannot
give her up, since she is not in oul
power.
My advice is that we proceed, with
out further shifting to rid the world
Of this trio Of pirates"
1T is also my advice" said Admiral
Germinet.
And mine" echoed Severac.
Each admiral present spoke the
same words.
Therefore, an attack on the Lost
Isle was decided upon.
Gentlemen" then said Admiral
Beresford. ''yQu will each go to your
ship TO confirm the order to concen-
trate to the east of Socotara."
Preparing For Battle.
The admirals arose
AS lot monsieur CHARLES SeveEaC."
added the English admiral, "he must
not expose himself TO the frst attacks
Of the enemy by staying aboard a
large cruiser.
1T is evident that Hictaner will
strike the first blow at the largest
vessels Of the feet.
Therefore, in my estimation, Mon
sieur Severac and his electric mirror
will be safer and can be OF greater
service by going aboard a destroyer
or torpedo boat. They are moro
rapid than the cruisers and may have
a chance to pass unpcrceived."
Agreed! agreed" cried all the ad-
mirals.
AS for his course during the bat
tie, We will leave Monsieur Severac
free to decide that for himself, con-
WINGED that he will act in the best
interest OF the civilized world and
tho defense OF the feet"
bravo! Bravow
Monsieur SeverAc knows the
names OF the best OF our destroyers
and torpedoes. He may chose that
upon which he wishes to embark, and
will be granted there the prerogatives
and powers OF an absolute COM
