MacBeard's tumble had knocked TO
/ the floor, had reduced the air pressure
TO normal. The creature was suffer
ing because there were only 10 pounds
OF air upon each square inch Of its
surface. II suffered just as a human
being suffers on a high mountain.

water was churned up by Its fappers.
The gill openings beneath the ears

do nothing. He knew that IL was
growing visible because II was dying,
as happens with the crystalline crabs
and other invisible denizens OF the
deep sea. Soon the force of tie in
ternal pressure would disrupt II.
He turned of the gas and staggered
out through the kitchen into the little
garden. He knew now that Master
mans story had some germ OF truth {:
he had discovered some species of
deep-water-seai, and his mind, strained
by his privations, had imagined the
rest. Why, he himself had almost
imagined he had seen a woman In the
second tank!
He reached the gate, opened II,
slammed 1t, and ran down the road.
He did not cease running till he pulled
himself up under q street light. He
realized then that he was hatless (;
people were staring after him.
And. looking back, he imagined that
he saw the shadowy outlines Of the
girls body beneath the light Of the
lamp.
"Tm going crazy" he muttered.

And he half believed MacBeard had
never existed, and that q burglar had
assaulted him.
But, as he thrust his hands into
the pockets of his trousers, he pulled
out the single page Of Masterman's
manuscript, and then he knew that
there was at least some basis for the
remembrances that surged through his
busy brain.
Under the light Of the next lamp
he read the page.

Then followed the lines which Paget
had begun In the Inventors club, but
never finished. There was the warn

the human race" Then Masterman
had written:

MESSAGES TO LAW MAKERS

The new governor of Utah was
sworn into office few days ago and
his message TO the joint session OF the
Utah legislature has been read to that
body. Whether or not the Mormon
law makers will pay any special at
tention to the message OF Governor
Hamburger when It comes time to in
flict new burdens on the citizens In
the form OF laws remains TO be seen.
The custom which faa'ens on a poll
tical chief the duty of sending to the
lawmakers of his field OF jurisdiction
message upon the opening of the show
Is hoary with age and, therefore re-
spectacle. And like many individuals
who have grown old enough TO totter
whenever there is occasion TO make
stir of any kind the custom bears
the merit OF considerable wisdom and
the stigma of much foolishness. In
the case of the president the matter
has different color than in the case
of the governor OF a state, especially
chair long enough to feel the pulse of
the foreign situation. The president
is able TO inform the national legisla-
ture of the needs in the foreign field
but there is little doubt that the body
Of Legislators knows more about the
internal matters than the president.
And the same may be said of the
governor OF a state. that is las to the
internal matters that may need ad-
justment. But the one thing that Gov
emor Bamberger called to the atten-
ton of the Utah legislature that re-
fleets credit on his message and on the
governor himself is the matter of
keeping prediction and platform
pledges. Ii is to be assumed that
platform and other party pledges and
promises are elected with the COVER
nor and are, 10 a certain degree, armed
with the force of public opinion. When
new administration is ushered in,
either national or state, and is sup
ported with majority in the legisla.
tive branch the promises given on
the issues of the campaign should
be the first matters to receive attcn-
ton, and they should not be broken
except for reasons arising after the
election and for the best interests of
the public
A governor should always say in
his message, Beware of freak legisla-
ton"
