How England Is
Fighting u-Boat

Capt. Skinner, the $50 American
built "chasers" are now playing an
important part in destruction OF
the under-sea terrors.
1t has been semi-officially re-
ported that 48 German submarines
we're captured or sunk during the
first two weeks of February.
The chasers hunt In packs. Sea-
planes fly over the waters OF the
war zone and when they spot q
submarine send out wireless to
the mosquito patrol giving the To-
cation of the enemy.
Like Fish Hawk.
The seaplane circles above the
submarine like a monster fish
hawk and In this way directs the
armed motorboats to their quarry.
Ninety-nine times In 100 the
submarine has submerged before
the chasers can reach the signalled
rendezvous.
But this does not necessarily
mean the submarine has escaped.
After gathering at the spot where
the submarine submerged, the
chasers then scatter in all direc-
tions, radiating from the tell-tale
U-boat bubbles like the spokes Of
a wheel. Working in pairs they
drag light nets and troll for the
submarine.
Then a Bomb!
When an obstacle is encounter
ed that experience tells the sub
lieutenants in charge of these
small warship is a submarine, a
contact bomb is sent sliding down
a wire to the submerged vessel.
There is a muffled roar, q great
on the surface of the
water, and another crew of
Notwithstanding pirate ship has
gone to Davy Jones' locker.
This method of fighting the sub
marine is made possible by the
fact that most of the waters off
the coast of the British Isles are
comparatively shallow. In any
case submarine cannot go down
further than $50 feet.
Aerial Bomb, Too.
The French are using dirigibles
in addition to seaplanes for the
spotting of submarines.
Another form of observation
aircraft used by the French is the
sausage balloon which Is towed
over suspicious areas by tugs or
other small fleet auxiliaries.
The English have also, 1t Is said,
invented powerful aerial bomb
that will destroy a submarine il
exploded from as far away as so
feet.

III In memory OF YOU"
As he spoke, he took the pretty
Palais Royal gold-rimmed sweet
meat box, and slipped 1t into his
waistcoat pocket.
At that moment one of the men
|of the Stephanien approach him
with an English letter. Cecil took
|it YEARLY and looked at the little
Lady venetia.
"Will you allow me?"
She bowed her graceful head.
He broke the envelope and read
"A blurred. sorawled, miserable
letter. 1t was long, yet at a
glance he knew its whole as well
as though he had studied every
line.
A strong tremor shook him
from head to foot, tremor at
once of passionate rage and Of as
passionate pain. The child watch
ed him, startled and awed. She
touched his hand softly.
What is 1t? Is it anything
worse?"
"Worse-worse he repeated
mechanically. There can be
nothing worse! 1t is the vilest
blacklist shame"
The Seraph had ridden back
from Iffesheim to the Bad In COM
pany with some Austrian officers
AS he swung himself out oil
saddle, a well-dressed little man
drew near respectfully-it was
M. Baroni, the money lender.
1.-THE Most Noble the Marquis
of Rockingham, l think?"
THAT is my name," the Serapl
answered. 81 do not know you
Do you want anything of me?"

"the opportunity of asking your
lordship whether this signature be
your own"
The Jew held before him pa
per. so folded that one line only
was visible, across which was
dashed in bold characters, Rock

The Seraph shook his head.
"No; this is not mine. Why dc
you ask"
81 will tell you, my lord, II
you grant me private interview
Once in the Seraph's apartment
Baroni quietly handed the mar
quis the folded paper, leaving Wis
ible with the counterfeited sigma
ture the name of the forger In
whose favor the bill was drawn;

The Seraph stopped and gaz.
ed-one Instant of Mortified
amazement kept him dumb-then

"You hound!"
"Have patience an instant, my
lord" said the money lender
quietly. "Since your faith in your

Coloring deeply, for the Petite
Refine had that true instinct Of
generous natures most sensi-
tive dslicacy for others-she shook
on to Cecil's knee, out of a little
enamel sweetmeat box, 20 bright
Napolsons that fell in a glitterine
shower on the grass.
He started. and looked at her
in q silence that she mistook for
Offense.
"You will not take anything

glancing at her rejected Napo-
Icons.
He drew the enamel bonbon.

ingham said briefly.
He rang; his own servant an
swered the summons. silence fol-
lowed. The minutes dragged on.
Finally the door opened-Cecil
entered.
The Seraph crossed the room,
with his hand out.
Cecil, my dear fellowl I'm
ashamed to send for you on such
la BLACKBOARD errand. Never
heard of such a swindler's trick In
all my life.
IN. Baroni. make your state
ment. Later on Mr.. Cecil can
avenge it,"
Cecil never moved; once his
eyes went to Rockingham with a
look of grateful, uncomfortable
pain.
Il simply charge the Honorable
Berthe Cecil with having negotiat-
ed bill with my firm for $50
pounds. on the 18th of last month
drawn in his own favor, and ac-
cepted at two months date by
your lordship. Your signature

be forgery-with that forgery l
charge your friendl"
THE 18TH"
The echo of those words alone
escaped the dry, white lips of Ce-
Gil. The Seraph gazed at him
with horror.
"Bertie! Great Heaven!" he
cried. How can you stand silent
there?"
81 am not guilty." Cecil said
simply.
Baroni smiled.
you are not guilty. Mr.. Cecil?
Your proofs?"
Proof? I give you my word
Into Bertie's eyes came hunt
ed, driven desperation. He turn
ed them on Rockingham with a
look that cut him to the heart.
"Mr. Cecil was with my part.
ner at 1850 on the evening of the
18TH" pursued the malicious
voice. "If he were not at ouI
office-where was he? That Is
| blulDlC CuOu6h.
Answered in a moment" said
the Seraph. "Cecil!-to prove
this man what he is, not for an
instant to satisfy me-where were
you at that time on the 15th?'
Cecil stood mute still; his teeth
clinched on his under lip. He
could not speak, woman's repu-
tation lay in his silence.
81 cannot tell you; but l was
not there"
Baroni bent his head with an
ironic mockery of sympathy.
II feared so, my lord. Mr.. Ce-
ell cannot tell must arrest
Mr.. Cecil; but I am willing to
conduct everything with the
strictest privacy. In a word, II
he will accompany me unreslsting-
ly; otherwise l must summon le-
gal force"
IL will go with YOU"
The reply was very tranquil,
but in the look that met his own
as 1t was given. Baroni saw that
some cause beyond the mere abb
horrence of "a scene" was at the
root of the quiescenee.
1T must be So" said Cecil
huskily to his friend. This
man is right, so far as he knows.
The whole is-a mystery, an err
ror. But, as 1t stands, there is
no resistance"
He hesitated a moment; then
he stretched out his hand.
"Will you take it-still?"
