| "Great heaven Could that have been
John?" With only a grunt for reply
| the Indian sent the light car spinning
on at redoubled speed, not lessening
their pace until they had reached the
| foot bridge indicated by Caldwell.
| Ethel Fastening to the dock, saw the
protruding arm of a crane extending
out over the water, the chain of which
was disappearing into the depths.
| Sensing danger and the presence of
John but not knowing in what direc-
tion the peril lay, the pair stood star
| ing at each other Mechanically the
girl moved toward the plunger air
pumps connecting with the submerged
object and placed the tube to her ear.
Morgan had gone to the island. Ar
irving at the dock he began inspecting
a huge diving bell at the top of which
was an enormous ring for attaching
hook or chain block at the end of a
travelling crane. Within the bell were
two chambers, upper and lower, access
to the chamber beneath being had
through trap in the floor. From the
upper chamber, by means of valve,
rubber tubes ran to an air machine on
the dock. The superintendent of the
Island Diving company drew near as
the Hawk finished his examination of
the underwater machine. The super
intendent spoke.
eff he gets here I'll have him locked
up In the upper chamber of the bell,
| then I'll beat it. The men have all
left the island except the caretaker
! and his family at the other end. Take
your time about whatever you do. I'll
show you how to move the thing" To-
gether they started in the direction
named. A moment later the Spider,
hurrying along the road in his auto,
stopped at the foot bridge and conceal
ing his machine crossed the footway.
John in his motorboat was proceed
ing rapidly. Then as he made a sharp
turn around a buoy the, sklff behind
him swung to windward, and a faint
smell of smoke came to his nose. He
glanced behind, saw wreath of vapor
arising from beneath the tarpaulin,
and wondering what could cause it he
hauled the lesser craft alongside. One
glance beneath the oiled cloth was
enough. The internal machine with
it's blazing fuse lay fully revealed,
and cutting the skiff loose he started
/ forward to seize the wheel of the
Seabird. AS he did so there was a
flare and roar from behind, and the
next instant he was bombarded with
splinters and falling pieces of the
launch. By good luck he had discov-
cred his danger in the nick of time
and had escaped destruction by mat
ter of seconds. Soon he arrived at the
| island.
'T guess I am doomed to die in bed
after ALL" he unused as he thought
over his experience.
The superintendent came forward to
meet him, and to that worthy John
showed his letter Of introduction from
/ ar. Caldwell. Together they began in
sDecting the mining machinery upon
the list, and presently the superinten-
dent touched his visitor upon the arm.
| 'Tve got something new here, Mr..

found that owing to the peculiar for
nation of the mass as it fell it had
bridged close above his head and left
him unhurt. Quickly they dragged him
forth.
AS John stood upon his feet the
Waterman pointed to the dead body
on the ground.
ST always said that this pile would
come down. You have played in great
luck, stranger, but poor George is done
for" Casting but a glance at the I'M
recognizable face of the dead truck
man, John, breathing his thanks over
his own escape, went upon his way
while the foreman, with command
to his assistant to have the body re-
moved, followed in the others steps.
Arriving at the Seabird, the foreman
spoke.
ST understand they have knocked off
work for the afternoon on Alamac
Island, but there's a skiff load of stuff
| [ promised to send over to the fore
man who will be there. Do you mind
towing 1t across!
"Glad to accommodate you," return
ed the unsuspecting John.
The Seabird was an open launch
with no cabin, and Davis stepped
aboard and went over the engine. Puff
ing at his cigar, the foreman fastened
the painter of the skiff to the launch,
and making sure that Davis eyes were
turned in an opposite direction, touch
ed the end Of the fuse which the Spider
had laid with the glowing cigar.
Crawling like a red serpent out of
sight beneath the tarpaulin the spark
disappeared up the fuse on its way to
the skiff's load of death, and at the
same time the engine started beneath
Johns manipulations. With farewell
waves Of their hands the foreman and
the one in the launch, towing his ter
rible burden, babe each other good
day.
As the Spider came crawling from
the place where he had hidden him.

IF you take my car and drive as
though the devil was after you, you
can get to the foot bridge at the other
end of the island and beat him to it In
case he ever gets there with that In
fernal machine behind him." With a
nod of understanding, Bellas went hur-
rying away.
Twelve-thirty having arrived, Ethel
went to her room telephone. Calling
up Caldwell. Brace & Co., she learned
that Davis had been there but had gone
to the island. Answering her inquiries
as to how she, also, might reach the
island, she was told that the most prac-
tica5le way for her from the hotel was
to take the automobile road to the
foot bridge at the south end. She turn-
ed to Rainface.

ssMe too" grunted the Indian. "Wait. "
| Passing to Johns room he returned
with a small automatic gun which he
gave her, saying:
@You need sometime, mebbyso."
| Securing a motor car they went driv-
| ing along the road which had been
described to them. As they reached
the edge OF the bay, far out upon its
surface they saw the flash Of an ex-
plosion, and a few seconds later a
dull boom burst upon their ears. The
girl grasped her companion.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH
J0LTS h. C. OF |.
ATLANTA CONGREGATION OPEN
GROCERY STORE WITH GOV
EMINENT FOODSTUFF

| ATLANTA, Ga-With a rector at
the cash register and parishioners be-
hind the counter, the first no-profit
church grocery in the United States
is making record sales daily, in At
lanta.
1t is the grocery store of the Epis-
copal church of the Incarnation. The
ting" of the cash register punctuates
the chatter of thrifty shoppers, the
scurry Of busy statesmen and saleswo-
men and the crackle of wrapping
paper, in odd contrast to the former
the store is established And the
novel discord of their own with the
decorations.
The Church of the Incarnation went
into the grocery business to assist in
the downfall Of the high cost of living
for Atlanta. And the stock that is
now so constantly being replenished
comes from the subsistence stores of
the United States government, re-
leased for sale at low cost to the
public.
When the plan of the government
| became known to the members of the
Church of the Incarnation, they added
! straightway new plank to the plat
form of the social service which. is
part of the nation wide campaign of
the Episcopal church. They would
start grocery store. They would
sell the government supplies in the
parish house.
Mayor Key, one of the city's of
ficial food distributors was requested
to appoint the church as an official
station for the sale of the stores.
Requisition for supplies were made
at once. Young men and young wo-
men of the parish volunteered to
work behind the counter and entered
upon an eight-day training course in
grocery selling.
The rector, Rev. Israel M Noe, was
absent at summer school. His brother,
Rev. A. C. D. Noe of Farmville, N. c.,
was summoned to take his place. And,
upon his arrival in Atlanta, Mr.. Noe
was forthwith appointed cashier of |
the grocery store.
The supplies came, all canned goods
at first, and were set up. The counter
had been built with "horses" and
planks. The cash register was in
stalled. The nine young men and I
women who had completed the gro
Gerry selling course ranged themselves
behind the counter, and the doors
were opened at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
The rush was overwhelming.
Motors were strung along the curb
before the parish house. Women pres
sed their way into the building and
up to the counter-women not only
from the immediate neighborhood but
from every part of the city. Some
had made long journeys in street cars
and afoot.
The green sales force were thank
full, that day, that the sugar and flour
and bacon had not come-that they
did not have to cut bacon or weigh
out sugar or flour For they found
that handling cans of beans and corn
and peas and the like to meet the de-
mand was strenuous business .
enough. Only Mr.. Noe kept cool. |
And he had to, for he handled the
cash. ;
The first day the store was opened
from 2 o'clock until 6 and from 7
until Then morning period was
added, from 9 until IL. And still the t
housewives came. and business was 7
