CHAPTER vII.-Continued.


The captain had spent weeks on the
island. He had put all the results OF
his Investigations into his letter to
Donald. He described elnborately the
structure of the monsters, tracing the
notifications OF the gills. air bladders,
hns and flippers.
Lastly, he told Donald the secret
Of controlling them. And this was SO
Inazing that MacBeard almost doubt
ed II.
Unfortunately, two pages were miss
Ing. and these contained part Of the
Instructions for keeping the monsters
In subsection. And. what alarmed
MacBeard, the manuscript ended with
the statement that the irruptlon was
not likely to prove Of permanent In
Jury to humanity, because
However. MacBeard cared little for
this In his supreme Joy. His dreams
took definite shape Mt last, rushing Into
the concrete with violence that sent
him into nm ecstasy. He saw the man
Of the future. the superman, who was
already at hand, irresistible by reason
of his numbers. strength and cunning.
And he saw himself. the ruler OF new
world which had never heard Of the
eighth commandment.
Next morning he left Baltimore In
his motorboat. 1t was constructed 80
as to be practically unsinknble. and he
had stored II with provisions, gaso.
line and instruments. He had several
weeks supplies on board. He was de.
pendent on no one.
He started northward at once
passed within few miles Of the F55
upon his course, and reached Fair
island. When he set foot upon Its
rocky, lonely shores, he knew that nj
last his time had come. His revenge
upon the race was ripening. and he
meant to exercise 1t to the full.
His first act was to explore the
island. He discovered with his plum
NETS that Masterman had been correct
In tracing the prolongation Of the
south spur Of the continental shelf. He
discovered that Fair island was the
peak Of subterrnnean range ascend
Ing sharply from n great depth.
At distance of about three hundred
feet beneath the surface there was /,
sort Of cup or crater In the mountain
teeming with unknown forms Of sub
marine life.
He found the stores which had beer
left by the oil-ship. but there was NJ
sign Of any airplane. However, since
MacBeard did not know that one wa
to have been sent, he did not expec
to find one.
Stocking cave with provisions, h,
made himself Mt home there, and n
once set out to investigate the pres
ence Of Masierman's monsters.

ed to cooperate with the
fuel administration to relieve
the fuel shortage In the eastern
states. They will give their at
tention to ways of increasing
the use of firewood. in order to
lessen the demand for coal.
They will demonstrate to farm
ers and other woodland owners
methods Of cutting by which
firewood can be obtained with
the best results to the timber

distributing firewood will be
worked out. 1t is hoped to es-

A special appeal will be made
through directors of extension
work In the various states TO the
farmers to cut wood this winter
while other work is slack.

Donald's Divinu Party.

Donald took match from his silver
box and struck 1t. The water had not
penetrated-it burst into flame. He
was half past eight.

he said to Davies. II am sure that
the beasts are gone. think I'll go

said Donald. "Give me your back,

Hoisting himself upon the shoulders
Of the sailor, Donald clambered up the
pipe and reached the passage above.
There was stencil Of fishy bodies, but
he was certain that the monsters were
gone.
He ascended the ladder into the con.
ming tower and threw of the hatch.
Instantly n gust Of fresh air, driving
In, made him reel dizzily. He realized
that he had been breathing the de-
pleted, vitiated atmosphere Of the tor.

bered out upon the deck, which lay al
most level with the surface Of the
ocean.
He found that the F55 was strand.
ed from the Fair island rocks. The
tide was rising, and they would soon
be afioat. An immense elation filled
his heart as he realized that the hor.
rors Of tho night were past.
From the electric engines he went
to the petrol motors. These appeared
10 be In good order. The oil fuel was
low, but there seemed to be SUN,
cheney TO take the F55 to Lerwick
without Tie necessity of delaying In
order to search for deposit on the
island. The run would be Of a few
hours only, and Donald was anxious
not to delay. Davies and he and
Clouts could manage the boat during
the brief Quincy, and there would be
no need OF the electric engines, since
10 danger was apprehended which
might necessitate their submerging.
During his journey about the boat
he convinr red himself that the sailors
had been dragged overheard. This was
more merciful for the survivors. There

LABoR-sAviNo MACHINERY
TO CONSERVE MAN POWER.

One Of the important meas
ures urged by the department Of
agriculture to help meet the Ia
Dor needs this year Is the largest
possible production and fullest
use Of farm labor-saving ma
chinery. The department has
actively interested itself In se-
curing priority for raw mate
rails used In the manufacture of
farm implements and also In Sc
curing favorable consideration
at the hands Of transportation
committees to provide facilities
for moving the materials to the
manufacturers. and the COM
pleted products from the manu-
facturers to the distributors and
also to the farme-T. Both those
dealing with r ,es of mate
rials and those ueaing with pri-
critics OF transportation have
evinced complete willingness
to assist. This is Indicated by
the fact that the priorities COM
mittee Of the war industries
board gave raw materials need
ed for farm implements a posi-
ton Of preference over all ar
ticles except those urgently re-
quired for military and naval
purposes. and that the trans
pOrtation committee took steps
to secure the prompt movement
of the raw materials and Of the
manufactured articles.

sires, Horse breeders should recognize
the fact that 1t is not paying propo-
siti"n simply to breed mares to any
stallion tnat may be available. A
sound, purebred stallion should be
used If the best results are to be OBJ
tanned.
Stations of pure breeding are, by
virtue of their unmixed ancestry, pos
sessed Of greater prepotency than are
grades or scrubs, and will. therefore,
Invariably impress their offspring with
their highly desirable breed character
istics and individual merit.

USE CARE IN SELECTING SIRE

One of the first considerations In
the breeding of live stock is the selec-

of the sire is pre-eminent because he
directly affects greater number Of
offspring than does the single female.
