CHAPTER XIII.

In the colorless days that followed,
Hilllard listlessly set about the order
ing of his final plans. Fortunately,
there were few of them; his mind
would never have been equal to intri-
cate detail.
1t was slight consolation to him to
realize that the city had a habit of
judging men by personal rather than
by financial standards; for all It's
pride and wealth, it would censure him
more for his wrecked personality than
for whatever money losses he had
caused. he was prepared to endure
that censure; and because he under
stood the provocatlon behind 1t. he
was all the more eager to aid in the
salvage. There would be more saved

Divers in Ancient Alstnrx

The earliest mention of diving is
made by Homer, about $50 B. c., in
the ''Iliad," when Patroclus compares
the fall of Hector's charioteer TO a
diver diving for oysters; and Thuey-
dides tells of divers being used to re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object of impeding or injurina
the Grecian fleet at the siege of Syra-
cuse. These divers had no apparatus
save a stone to carry them quickly TO
the bottom and to cling to for the
brief period, about two minutes. they
conld stay below. This is called nat.
ural diving and is still In use for col.
lecting spongcs and pearls at Ceylon
and In the Mediterranean.

from the underwriting project. he
thought. than from his character.
He had deposited with Cullen all he
owned, except for his private belong
ings, his runabout. and trivial sum
for current expenses. The runabout
he would offer for sale; 1t meant few
hundred dollars more to be divided
among his contributors. Beyond that.
there was nothing else he could re-
store to them.
He didn't believe that Harmon
would ever carry out his promised be-
trayal: not that he had faith in Har-
mons code of ethics, but because he
trusted Harmon's horse sense. If Hill
Hard were alone to be accused, Har-
mon would gain nothing and might. If
he offered any adverse testimony, even
impllcate himself. Indeed, If Harmon
should say enough to establish the
proof In the dangerous status of an ac-
cessory before the fact No .
this was the same procedure; to let
Elbert County tribune and Elbert County banner., 1920-10-15

the memory of Dicky Morgan rest in
peace, and to let the brunt of anger
fall on Henry Hllliard, who was no.
body from nowhere, with a lying face,
n lying tongue, and no claque to mourn
at his exit.
But then there was Angelas start
ling allegation She had declared
that Everybody" in town knew all
about Hilliard and Carol. EVERY
body" would have different opinion.
He had tried to explain himself to
Carol, and he had failed; and in the
light Of Angela's revelation, 1t was diff
flcult to decide whether Carol herself,
in protesting that she wanted to re-
tain him as a friend, had meant that
and nothing more, or that and a great
deal more. But no matter what she
had intended to convey, he dared not
go to her again, he dared not see her
and speak to her. for If he lied to her
. but he couldn't lie to her now,
and every word OF truth would prove
boomerang. He was trapped; and
although his heart was breaking for
the love he had almost won a second
ideals he had created. If Carol were
to lose him as suitor, she should new
er know that her first and foremost
suitor had gone to the devil.
He told himself fiercely there was
one definite and permanent way out
of 1t. Nobody would then have
cause to gossip about Dicky Morgan
no one-after the first natura; flood of
excitement and denunciation--woul
remember very much about Henry
| Hilliard. 1t would save such deal of
needless trouble; it would saw. such a
wearisome amount of shame.
But against the pltiless background
of the war, self-destruction as d means
of avoiding personal difficulties. self.
caused. seemed curiously repellent-
curiously cheap.
No 1t was a part of his own
grievance that Carol and the others
must grleve. too; he had dual re-
sponslbility to society. He had nc
right to leave these matters clouded by
any uncertainty of motive. Syracuse
| had n right to know the facts; and II
the facts brought pain to those he
| loved. why. that was something he
should have thought about in June
and not in November.
AS he clung comfortless to the last
slipping hours of the reputation he
had so carefully builded, he knew that
1t wasn't the punishment of the law
that he dreaded, it was the ostracism
which would accompany It, II wasn't
his own shame which gripped him. IL
was the consciousness of the shame
which would attach to his friends
| And so. for day or two, all his fac.
ulties were strung upon the attitude
| of the public toward him; he was
watching frantically for the first signs
of adverse demeanor, and bracing him,
| self for the shock which was unavold
| ably to come. For secrets will out

Her eyes were mischievously tender;

his recent memories.

Harvesting the SUMS Rays.

That the rays of the sun can be used
for curing many skin diseases, and
that sun baths are beneficial to those
who are in perfect health, is well
known. The problem of utilizing this
agency in northern countries where
the hours of sunshine are few has
been solved, he claims, by British
doctor, NJ. J. de Thezac.
His invention consists of a revOlv-
ing cabin, combined with a huge lens
for concentrating the rays on any part

installation has just been tested in the
