CHAPTER II.
The InterjonAr-

Ida went into Donald's cabin. Don
aid himself arranged to sleep In the
messrOom. Davies mad his cabin, and
Clouts the first watch. Presently Don
aid found himself alone.
He got into his hammock, but he
could not grapple with the situation.
1t seemed so unreal that he half ex-
pected to awake and and that he had
been delirious, and that he WAS just
coming to after rescuing Ida from the
wreck of the Beotia. He felt more
and more nervous. He got up and sal
down at the table, staring into the
darkness In front OF him.
Suddenly he leaped to his feet with
a choked CRY. Across the messrooln
at distance OF about eight PAGES, he
saw, mistily outlined. the face and
body Of the woman whom he had imas-
ined that he saw In the house In Bal
ttmore-and again outside!

you should meet the fate in store for
the race"
You make me sick" said Donald.
MacBeard looked rather angry.
You can have your life for the
present" he returned, 'but not as a
permanent gift. 1 shall not single you
out TO bestoW OF you the boon of con-
tinuing that constant adjustment to
external forces which Herbert Spencer
has named life In other words. you
can go to the devil until l am ready
to take You in hand again, on one
condition"
Name it, you BLACKBOARD" said
Donald.
II want the two missing papes Of
MaSterman's manuscript"
Take us all back to the submarine
out of this helrs kitchen Of yours,
then show US the way to the top OF
the island. and you shall have all the
rest of the papers"
MacBeard eyed Donald with amuse-
ment. Il offered you your life not the
others" he answered. "One man re-
turning with story like Mastermans
would be called lunatic: two would
awaken doubt; three would be fatal"
And then his eyes fell upon Ida.
She was standing at Donald's side,
as brave and defiant as he. and their
eyes met. And at that instant some
thing happened to the professor that
upset all his calculations, something at
which he would have scoffed as en-
tirely incredible.
He fell In love for the first time In
his life.
Science has never succeeded In pene-
trating the mystery of love. 1t is not
known why one man falls in love at
fifty and another st nineteen: one at
sight and another after Ave years of
matinees and supper parties with the
object of his alteration. MacBeard did
not know why it had happened to him.
but he knew that 1t had happened.
And with 1t there came the universal
instinct to display his superiority to
the man at Ida's side, in whom he
intuitively sensed his rival
you've played your cards pretty
badly" he sneered. you had the Sc
cret In your hands, and you surren-
dered it to me. You think little more
highly Of old Masterman now, don't

CHAPTER K.
The Cave of the Idol.

A cry of amazement burst from his
lips. He was breathing affair at the
bottom of the sea
1t was Surcharged with oxygen. 1t
invigorated him. He felt the thrill
of renewed life in his body, he felt
his Shrunken arteries Jingle as his
heart pumped the new, richened blood
through them.
1t seemed unbelievable. At first he
thought that he had died, and that this
was the souls awakening.
Then. with quick fingers. he unfas-
tened Ida's body-piece and tore the
mask from its fastenings. He heard
her sigh.

THE PURPOSES OF THE
GREAT FOOD ECONOMY
CAMPAIGN IN AMERICA

The Home Card" issued by the
national food administration, to be
sent to every housewife signing the
food economy pledge this week,
states in nutshell form the reasons
for the present gigantic food con-
servation campaign in this country
and the food needs of the allies,
who are now fighting Americas
battle as we'll as their own. This
card says:
"WHY WE MUST SEND MORE
WHEAT-EneIand, France, Italy
and Belgium, taken together, i'm
port in peace time 40 per cent of
their breadstuffs. But now, with
their reduction in harvest, they
must import so per cent. We must
increase our normal export surplus
Of 100000 bushels to 22o 900, 900
bushels. 1t can be done but in one
way: BY economizine and substi-
tuting.
"WHY WE MUST SEND SUGAR
Before the war France, Italy and
Belgium produced as much sugar
as they used, while England drew
most Of its supply from what are
now enemy countries. France and
Italy are producing less than they
need, while England is cut off from
the source of 70 per cent Of her
usual imports.
"WHY WE MUST SEND MORE
MEAT-The food animals Of the
allies have decreased by $4,000, 900
head since the war began: thus the
source Of their meat production is
decreasing. At the same time, the
needs Of their soldiers and war
workers have increased the neees-
sary meat consumption.
"WHY WE MUST SEND BUT
TER-The decreasing herds and
the lack Of fodder mean a steady
falling off in the dairy produets Of
our allies. They have been asking
for larger and larger exports from
u.s."

5000 Pledge Cards.

Chairman Kelly today sent out ms
last pledge cards. More than 15'ooo
of them are now in the hands oil ms
6s precinct chairmen, who before
nightfall will have turned them over
to the 800 workers enlisted in the
cause.
Chairman Kelly will take personal
charge in the direction of the cam
paign. He will do this from his Office
in the Hennessy building. ready at any
moment to help his workers should ans
contingency arise. 1t was the inten-
tion of Chairman Kelly to secure DOWN
town offices-possibly in the Montana
Power Company building-but he has
abandoned this plan. believing he can
do the work best from his own offices.
In giving his final instructions to
the enlisted workers Mr.. Kelly has
made clear to them that the problem
of the United States is to feed the al
lies this winter by sending them as
much food as we can OF the most con-
centrated nutritive value in the leas.

TEUT0NS POURING IN
BY MOUNTAIN PASSES
Battle in Flanders is Resumed
by an Attack OF the

THE WAR SUMMARY.

Italian resistance to the Austro- Ger
man onslaught along the lsonzo ap-
parentiy is stffenine as General Ca
dorns prepares to reform his forces
alcng the strong defensive line Of the
Tagliamento river. The entire lsonzo
line has been turned and the Carso po
sltion has been given up to the yic-
torious Teuton soldiery, who are now
before Udine, the former Italian gen
eral headquarters. Despite the crush
ing blow suffered by the Italian forces
on the northern lsonzo and the conse-
qLent retirement all along the river,
General Cadorna has the Tsgliamento
line from which to beat back the in
vaders from the Venetian plains.
Berlin does not report any great ad-
ditional number of prisoners, and
this, coupled with Cadornas official
, statement that his troops are checking
| the Austro- -Gerrnans may mean that
the fsrce of the first blow has been
spent.
The Teutons have taken Edine and
report the third Italian army in retreat
toward the Tagliamento.
More menacing to Cadorna's pur-
poses than this movement. however
seems the thrust on his left flank

on Saturday and Sunday Emperor
William received in audience con-
siderable number of personaees, pre-
sumably to inform himself on the po-
liilcal situation. 1t is evident the en-
pcror no longer trusts exclusively to
the Judgment of Professor von Nalen-
tint. chief of his civil cabinet, who is
charged with keeping in touch with the
trend of political opinion in Germany
and informing the emperor in regard
to It. No members of the reichstag
were received by the emperor, who is
carefully guarding the surface attri-
butes of his prerogative of making and
unmakins ministers without consulting
the representatives of the people.
Count Won Hertling had once refused
the offer of the German chancellory
because of his advanced age.
