They mixed a connection, on an enormous scale, known as "grasshop- per bait" making 4.565 tons of it, or enough to fill 1S3 large railroad cars. To mix this bait they used 500,000 demons. eighty-three tons of white ar scnic and other ingredients in similar proportion. The bait was then scat tered over great area in Kansas.

CHAPTER XII.

Fitzhugh awakened next morning to the ringing of his telephone. It was Hunt He cut short the flood of ques- tions, and, still in his pajamas, got small valiSe from a closet ana began filling 1t with shirts, collars, and such other articles as a man needs for a short journey.
 When he reached his office. for twen- ty galyanic minutes, without wasted word, he outlined conciSely what he wanted done during his absence, con- Sidering and settling various problems that in the interim might arise. Per ceiying the flight of time, he snatched his hat from the floor. and. with Hunt trotting along beside. hurried to the elevator still giving directions and ad- vice. Down the elevator shaft. through the rotunda of the first floor, to the automobile in Adams street, and thence to the railway station, he con- tinued the terse counscling.
 AS he dashed into the Grand Central station, ran down the midway toward his gate, the conductor called "'BoardI" !" and his train pulled out. He caught the last Pullman as it moved from the shed.
 Fitzhugh returned from Washington in four days, a changed man. There had been little he could do; so little indeed, that he felt his trip had been wasted. He had located some mem bers of ESther's family and had given them, quite anonymously, a sum of money larger than any they had ever known. Then he took train for Chi cago. There was nothing else to do.
 But he could not forget. Vividly against the background of his mind were marShaled all Esther had done tor him, all her little acts of kindness, her unselfishness, but doglike devotion. And then he would think of the re- 1uital he had made. His memory logged him pitilessly He thought of now he had left her alone with Niko- | lay that morning, of his incompassion- | ateness the last time he saw her alive, of the death-dealing message he had sent, the needless cruelty |.
 Brute l-I was always brute to | her.
 It was nearly eleven when he reached his office. He had come d1- ! rectly from his apartment in his auto- mobile, and wore a motoring cap and coat, unessentials both, the last of which effectually concealed all ap- parel beneath it from the collar down. | Hunt, coatless and with his shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows, sat at the great ttat-topped desk in the inner | sanctun, head over heels in the days work
 With a brief excuse for his tardi- ness. lSitzhugh took the chair at the opposite side of the desk and scanned some important papers requiring his signature. conversing busily with Hunt as he read. He had signed but one of the7A, when, with an ejaculation upon the warmth of the weather. he flung off his cap. and loosening the clasps of his coat collar, walked into the adja cent room.

 AS the days passed Fitzhugh's pas sion for showing off, increased amaz- ingly. Ever prolific with freaks of act ing, he kept his associates on tenter- hooks of curosity. None could imag- inc what he would do next. He al- ways did the unexpected. Nothing was too fantastical.

 As he descended the staircase, leav- ing Otis with his daughter, the bevy of servants in the hall ceased their ex- cited whispering, and rendered him silent awe.
 Fitzhugh did not go to his office the following day, but motored far out along the north shore. His mind was a blank until his car was turning in and out through the mesh of traffic in State street.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE
navy department in spite of the cap
sizing of Eagle Boat No. rs in tho
Delaware river. June IL, costing the
lives of nine of its crew, is strong In
the confidence that these Eagle boats,
are seaworthy and a
valuable acquisition to the navy.
There are about twenty such craft
now in commission and the other
forty will be used by the navy in
stead of being strapped as junk
as has been urged from some
quarters.
The report on the investigation
Of the sinking of Eagle boat No.
% has just been received al the
department and shows that the real
cause of the sinking was that
several portfolios were left open, as
they should not have been.
Authorities of the navy department
also say that a green" crew. from
the commanding officer down, was
navigating the boat when she was
stuck by the squall.
Rear Admiral David w. Taylor,
chief of the bureau OF construction
and repair. Is staunch In his con-
tentions that the Eagle boats have
proved their great value to the navy.
He points out that they have seen
service all over the world even on
the north coast of Russia, where
three of them have given very
great satisfaction. They are not at
all unseaworthy," he contends.
As soon as the judge advocate
general has passed upon the findings
by the court of inquiry, the navy de-
partment is expected to make an Of
fetal statement re-endorsing the yea
worthiness of the Eagle boats.
1t is commended by some students
of naval architecture that when the
Eagle boats. which cost the govern
ment $35, 900, 900, and sixty of which
were completed for the navy by the
Ford Motor Company, are fully
fueled they stand some twenty-seven
feet out Of the water, and are top
pied over easily.
There were 112 of these craft
ordered from the Ford Company and
fifty-two of these were cancelled. The
other sixty were so far advanced that
1t was impractical, according to the
navy authorities, to have the work
stopped. Those sixty have been de-
livered and about twenty are now in
commission. The coast guard is
using some of them for patrol duty
and as small gunboats. They were
designed for submarine boat chasers.
Admiral Taylor and the other
naval authorities frankly admit that
they are not as good as d~estroyers,
because they are less than half the
size, but they cost less than one-half
than the destroyers to run.
The best experts on naval
architecture in the federal depart
ment point out that the accident to
the Eagle Boat No. rs was such as
happens occasionally to any kind of
boat. For example. they cite that a
great sea-going tug was capsized at
Charleston a couple of months &go.
They insist that improper handling
of any craft, as is shown in the of
report where Eagle Boat No. rs
when hoisted showed several port
holes open, should not be used as a
reason to condemn all boats of that
type especially when they have stood
very severe tests under extreme
conditions.

THE SCHOOL

superintendent ShuIl's report re-
garding the public school system of
this city is remarkable in one par
ticular-it shows an actual decrease
in the number of children enrolled.
This is the first time in many years
that such a condition has been re-
ported.
The reason for the decrease is
easy to find, as Mr.. shull points out.
The lack of new building whereby
to house additional families, the
unprecedented number of children
who have reached the legal ~ to
go to work attracted by the high
wages quitting school to earn
money. and the increasing number
of parochial schools. The fact re-
mains, however. that while the en-
rollment shows a decrease the aver
age attendance has been greater
than any previous year.
But even with the decreased en-
rollment the schools r already
crowded. All kinds Of make-shifts
are being devised to take care of the
classes. Courts that were never de-
signed for class work are being
utilized and rooms hat ought to be
used for other things are being
given up for teaching.
With schools crowded and build
ing operations next to impossible on
account Of the scarcity and high
cost Of material. It would seem that
