CHAPTER lIv.
A Piece Of Steel.

Meals first duty was toward An.
nette-his second toward Joe. He
carried Joe tenderly to the side OF
the road and left him there, covered
with green boughs. Then he lifted
Annette upon his steed and set OF for
help. 1t took time to find surgeon
time to get car.
Meantime things happened at the
furnished house-the house SO swiftly
and violently unfurnished by its in
terloping tenants.
Inside the room nothing but mass
of wreckage was to be seen. But
slowly, painfully, impelled by some
unseen force, this mass of wreckage
slowly rose. Beneath it some giant
writhed and wriggled.
Finally a head appeared-the
Brute's head.
He looked about the room. Moth
ing was to be seen. He l'eered into
the depths from which he had just
emerged. Then suddenly he saw some
thing.
Seeing-he worked away like mad.
Inside of ten minutes, Inez, in stu.
Dor, was staring at the Brute from
one side of the room-Hernandez from
the other.
Hernandez shook the lethargy from
him. He crawled to Inez.
"Up-up," he cried, tugging at her.
I'VE have no time to lose. Come on,
you beast-come on"
Seizing them both, tearing at them
frantically, like mad, he sped with
them toward a cluster Of trees on the
other side of the road.
In the midst of this dense growth he
had hidden his machine.
Painting with frenzy, his glance ever
over his shoulder, he forced them
into the car, sprang to the wheel.

It was three days later, on the high
seas, that Hernandez-his other two
companions well hidden in the hold
stole out of the companion way OF q
fruit steamer bound for the southern
seas. -r
He glanced cautiously around q cor.
ner. t,. ..
The first figure that met his sight
was Neal Hardin-an ensign in the
navy.
Whats he doing here?" demanded
Hernandez Of himself.
He watched warily. What he saw
disturbed him.
Neal was giving orders to the cap
tain of the ship.
Hernandez looked about him. Sud
denly he darted forward. stopped, and
picked up something from the floor.
What is IT." queried Inez.
"A piece Of STEEL" he said.
That night, we'll mufied, he stole
toward the compass, and concealed his
piece of steel where 1t would do the
most good-or most harm, as you pre-
fer. No one saw him-no one knew
But on his return, turning corner
he ran full tilt into Ensign Neal Har
din himself. Neal sprang upon the
mufaed figure and tore the envelopine

They struggled like tigers, but Neal

She crept to him. resting her shoul-

"You mean that, Hernandez? she
queried, q Jealous note tinging her

Hernandez leered again. Time

orioin of Moon In Doubt,

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced, but all seem to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many un. solved problems A belief in tho meteoric origin of the moon is now quite general. According tc this be- lief the earth was surrounded in the early stages of its existence by ring of meteoric matter The material forming the ring gradually gathered into one mass, our present moon, whose pitted face gives evidence of the bombardment 1t received from me. teoric masses within the ring. Accord ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been q dead world, a cold and lifeless mass of meteoric rock. It has never felt the pulse of life or under gone the mighty changes that have passed over its ruling planet. It has remained cold and silent witness to vast evolutionary processes going on upon q neighboring world such a 1t could uever experience for It. self.

 Rallies of few points followed pub llcation of weekly weather report during the middle of the morning with October selling up from 23.S1c to 23.9lc and January from 23.75c to 23.19c. This bulge seemed to at- tract increased offerings, although the report was considered less fa- Vorable than any of the three pre- cedlnS and the market weakened again late in the morning. Continued reports of an easing spot basis seem ed largely responsible for tle selling winch carried October off to 23.7lc and January to 23.57c by midday, or about 29 to 30 points net lower.
 There were further declines during the early afternoon with October sell ing off to 23.46c and January to 23.35c or about 49 to 54 points net lower. This carried the market into new ground with most of the active po- s1tions selling at the lowest prices reached since last June
