HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, March 70, 1913.

Astrologers read this as an uncer-
tain day, but the kindly stars prevail.
Mars and Mercury are IN benehc as
pect, while Jupiter and Saturn are
adverse.
1t would seem that the best sort
OF news concerning the war will be
transmitted. and it is believed that
the peace treaty will be signed earlier
than has been expected.
All the signs are favorable for the
army, and many soldiers will be hon
ored.
While there will be revelations that
are distressing in regard to military
matters, these will be overshadowed
by reports of supreme achievements.
Many heroes will not be recognized
until long after peace has been at
tanned.
Again the position OF the planets in
the eleventh house appear to foretell
sensational scenes in the United States
Senate.
Some sort OF trouble is threatened
for the Viceroy of India. and earth
quake shocks are to disturb the Orient
Warning is given that there will
be a period of laxity in morals and
boo llCthet III lnt VI
many persons in the United States.
There is y sinister sign for the sum-
mer.
After the spring ends there will be
a gradual settling OF all the fer1nent
OF the world, and widespread pros
perity is prognosticated for the Unit
ed StateA
Frauds connected with revenues. and
a possible depreciation OF securities
should be guarded against in the next
six months.
Intense activity in regard TO shipping
is predicted and a sudden growth of
commerce is forecast.
Persons whose birthdate Il is have
the promise OF a quiet year. There
will be many changes and numerous
new friends, but it will be wise not
to travel to any great extent.
Children born on this day probably
will be kind. generous and afYectionate.
but rather erratic and wayward. They
have in them the elements OF success.

CHAPTER Ia

As the door swung open, II switched
on the light in the closet, and ] saw
an unCaiuly form dangling from the
ceiling, ] recoiled in amazement-but
not in horror-for Il was not human
form. However II was so strangely
suggestive OF the hulk Of u man that
l shuddered in spite OF my will to be
calm. Certainly. that was the queer
est skeleton" ever concealed in
well-ordered home!
II was huge and uncouth; the
ball-shaped helmit was OF metali the
feet were soled with weights like
fiat irons; a small tank was attached
to the shoulders OF the garment.
II was a divers suit! But why
was it behind lock and key in Ger
teis' closet:
/ reasoned out a satisfactory ans
wer to my question:
Certeis was an inventor-he and
Daddy Dorimer were promoting a
submarine detector when the war
ended. Certeis had improved" a
gas mask, Daddy said. "A respira-
tor" he had called IL. And this
extraordinary garment hanging in
fis closet was a divers suit with
respirator attached, Probably q
man wearing it could walk on the
ocean bottom absolutely uncOnnect-
ed with the surface atmosphere.
That was my guess. In 1t diver
could explore a wreck. unhsmper-
ed by ropes and tubes. He could
enter n sunkeu T-boat-snd search
/ for a treasure OF jewels-if he hap
pened to know where the sub was
/ beTthed,
1t, was easy to understand why
Certeis had perfected the suit-but
why had he hidden il next his own
bed
would never have guessed that
answer had ] not known about the
Bolsheviki stun in his desk. He
couldn't trust his servants. lie
had told me SO. II wasn't pos
sible that he wanted to have the
divers dress handy in order to use
