CHAPTER VII.
Ira MaeBeard.

49,
Irn MncBeard was one of those rare
men who are recognized by their con-
temporarles nj master minds. To the
public he was unknown, but nmong
the learned he was mentioned In the
same breath with Faradny, Sir Isaac
Newton and Lavolsler. Hatfield of the
March Hares' club had once honored
him by publicly comparing him with
james l.
He had discovered the secret of cold
light, and had received a fortune from
II OF the largest electrical companies
for destroying his papers. This en-
abled him to free himself from the
poverty In which he had lived.
He had blsected an lon-upon a
blackboard; a thing considered theo-
r~etically impossible.
He had solved the problem Of utlIlz-
Ing solar energy, although he had not
succeeded In making his process valu-
able commercially.
Unfortunately, like many men OF
genius, MacBeard had one disastrous
failing. He had trained himself Intel
l~ectunlly ut the expense Of his moral
faculties. He had never learned to
control his primal gutter-urchln pro-
pensitles.
He was n thief.
He did not steal big things. but little
ones, and everyone knows that this Is
more damnlng socially.
They called II kleptomanla, and let
him resign. But II was not klepto-
mania; II vas theft. MacBeard's ca
reer was finished. The only club that
would admit him to membership was
the Inventors'-and that only becs use
the furious chickering's OF Its members
had compelled the passage OF a rule
that there should be no b%lackbnlling.
Anyone could Join the Inventors club,
but only inventors wanted TO.
MacBeard, embittored, brooded over
his wrongs. They assumed monstrous
proportions In his mind. He was al
ready approaching fifty; he believed
that at death the soul perlshes with
the body, and the thought OF his a.
gantic brain being obliterated flied
him with frenzy. He wanted to make
a lasting mark upon the world.
His frat idea was to use his solar
energy plant to produce simultaneous
eruptlons OF the volcanoes In Italy and
Iceland, Japan and California upon an
unprecedented scale. A lava desert
should cover all the titled fields and
cities, burylng man a thousand feet
under It's surface and celebrating civil
llzatlon.
The science and art OF nineteen
tvOntieths OF the world would dlsap-
pear. MacBeard not only hated the
world, which had made him an out
cast, hut he desplsed II intellectually
ns beyond redemption. He wanted 10
hostrlde Its ruins as n superman, n
god.
However, his scheme had several
drawbacks. II was utterly beyond his
financial means. He could not fore
see exactly the results OF II. There
were disturbing possibilities, and he
was not the mar to act without mathe-
NAUTICAL exactitude.
His vengeance must take other forms.
He wanted II less academic plan, one
which reeked less OF the midnight
lamp, He wanted a more concrete,
personal triumph. He wanted to lead

Naval Lieutenant Donald Puget, Just given command Of n sub
marine. meets at Washington an old friend and distinguished though
somewhat eccentric scientist, Captain Masterman. Masternan has just
returned from an exploring expedition, bringing with him a member Of
the strange race, the existence OF whose species, he asserts, menaces
the human family. At the club, the "March Hares." Masterman e-
plains his theory to Pnget. The recital Is interrupted by the arrival
OF a lifelong enemy of Maserman, Ira MacBeard, and the former is
seized with a fatal parnyuc stroke From Mastermans body Paget
secures documents bearing upon the discovery and proceeds to the
home OF the scientist. paget proceeds to ca on his submarine, the
Foe, and encounters a German cruiser. He sinks the enemy, which had
destroyed the Beotn, on which Ida Kennedy. his hnncee, was n pas
senger. The girl escapes in n small boat. He rescues her, but finds
himself unable to take the skin 10 the submarine because OF invisible
forces. Paget, Ida, MidshIpmnn Davies and Seaman Sam Clouts barely
escape death. Couts plays the mouthorgnn.

he carried his wounded pilot through
hail of lead and safely reached the
French lines after he had himself
been severly injured. He is alleged

WHEN SICKNESS HIT OUR CAMP.

1t was in the month of September,
When the sickness hit our camp
And those days we all remember
For our clothes and hunks were damp.
But at first we did not mind it so,
Till they started to droop around,
And started one by one to go,
Till the thing was spread around.
And now the boys are Icing
With this sickness for it's bad.
Also some of them are dieing
And to hear it makes US sad.
For how this thing got started,
There is none of us can tell.
RTrt good luck to those that parted
