convey a definite threat. Indeed. his

said sarcastically, II thank you for

really was dropped.
I now knew for a certainty it was all

her put. and chatted lightly and
gracefully. Barbara continued to
sulk in silence, but all the rest rose
to the OCCASION, and only appropriate
dinner table talk was heard.

Perhaps from a sense Of duty,
Archer made one more effort.

PREMONTT1ONS. .

The other day a New York man
sent out warnings of a disaster to oc-
cur about a certain time in the Wall
street district and just a few hours
from the time which he had named
the great explosion which is now be-
ing investigated occurred.
' The federal government sent out
warnings to all gulf ports and interior
stations in the vicinity to be on guard
against a tropical storm which was
due to break about. a certain time.
Those who were warned took heed;
the storm broke; and the precaution
taken saved many lives and much
property.
The storm incident is very simple.
No myscries are involved. The bureau
had information hat the storm had
actually formed out at sea, and was
moving northward at a certain rate.
The air pressure throughout the dis
trict was known, hence the course Of
the storm could be mapped with cor
siderable accuracy. The principle is
perfect and infallable. 1t lacks per-
lection in it's application because some
facts haveing an important bearing on
the result are still beyond the reach
of human science. AS facilities for
the investigation of these other condi.
tons improves our weather forecasts
will show a corresponding increase in
accuracy.
The explosion warnings introduce a
different element The authorities
have dismissed all suspicion that the

apparently intelligent, he is not well
balanced. Most people attribute his
behavior to a mild form Of insanity
But there are others Of some scientific
standing, while conceding the mans
mental abnormality, believe that in
sending out his warnings, he was con.
veying genuine information.

his scientific knowledge. He was a
famous physician-and even in this

would let Archer plan our escape-he

while it lasted, he would devote it to

Very lately, Jordan Spence had
come home from France as one of
the medical heroes of the war. With
the Jordan millions-his mothers
money-he had fitted up magnificent
reconstruction hospitals in more than
one town in France. He was devoted
to his mother, and she to him. They
had a unique record of war-service,
founded on the mans complete alb
sorption in his work. Even in the
tomb where we were imprisoned, he
had discovered patient in the ex-
quisite Chrystobel Lorimer-who had
lost her voice.

THE men whom our hospitality had

to me and then to Chrys, but no one

thing for us to talk about! It's al

persons are restrained and dumb. The

cries or faints at crisis and in
creases the trouble, whatever it may
be, never proves herself extraordin-
arily emotional and super-sensitive
as she fatters herself. She merely
proves herself an undeveloped speci-

By being perfectly unable to say a
word, for long time, we proved to
each other that we were all of a
high-grade as human beings. We
knew that we could trust each other,
no matter how greatly we might be
tested in the hard days to come

obviously, of course. Now, two hours

slightly swaying tagging in the pave
