CHAPTER II.

Up to the moment Of the sudden
chilling Of her exultant blood, Andrea
had been almost Obvious Of the din
Of the engine. Now she could think of
nothing else. The deafening roar that
made speech futile was a very real
barrier; it imprisoned her, held her
like the bars of an iron cage, and even
beat her remorselessly with its rapid
fire explosions of defying sound.
She sank back on her seat, painting
and. sobbing. She was frightened.
Never since the day when as little
child a closet door closed and locked
upon her and memorable darkness had
held her for moments that were such
an eternity had she known such ter
ror. The feeling that had come to
her then came to her now-darkness,
sinking of the heart down, down
through an interminable void and,
tumbling after it, body, soul, a leg or
two and q clutching hand, all come
apart In the maelstrom Of fear.
The present nightmare did not last
for long. Andrea gradually realized
that In fact she was quite grown up.

new PROCESS IN SCULPTURE
Invention Of italian Scientist viii
Revolutionize Work Of Masters
Of the Chisel.

A process for producing bas-reliefs
by photography is the fruit Of the
invention of an Italian scientist.
The basis Of the invention is the
property possessed by film of chromi'
UNI gelatin Of swelling In proportion
to the intensity of the light falling
upon it. The swelling is greater with
low than with a high intensity, so
that the light passing through a pho
tographic negative produces upon q
chromium gelatin plate a positive IN
distinct relief.
The transparency of an ordinary
negative, however, is not truly proper
tional to the relief of the original
model, but by an ingenious automatic
device involving double exposure this
difficulty is avoided and q negative
is obtained having its lights and
shades correctly graded to produce the
effect Of relief.

There had been unpleasant words
before between the dramatist and a
leading comedian as to the latter's
habit of adding impromptu jokes to
his part. "There's no need for you
to gag" said the dramatist angrily,
after the comedian had done it again.
"Your part as written is quite funny
enough. All you've got to do is>to say
the words and wait for the audience
to laugh" The comedian did not look
convinced. 'That's all right for you"
he prumbled. sYou live in town and

must know what you mean. How can
talk to you with that awful din 60
ing on?"
ooh, you'll have lots Of time to
talk" said the man, and no sooner
were the words out of his mouth than
they were almost wiped off the slate
of memory by the sudden roar Of the
engine.
Andrea sank back in her seat, crum-
pied up in body and mind, and cried
like baby. Great big sobs came tum-
bling up and out Of her swelling
throat. For the. first time in many
years she felt that she wanted her
mother and at once.
ooh, mummy! mummy" she sobbed
like little child, and moment later,
just exactly like little child, she
stopped crying, shifted twice, blinked
her eyes dry and presently smiled for
no special reason, just as a dawn
smiles when it's sun breaks out from
the dewy clouds Of morning. What
had happened? Why, a most impor-
tant thing. She had suddenly realized
that no one could hear her crying, not
even herself!
EVERY person one meets" thought
Andrea, following the line Of her dis
covery, "has to be climbed. Some
people are insignificant mounds and
you just walk over them; others are
high cliffs that it takes a long time
to climb but that give you fresh and
wider views the higher you go. And
then there are Others" she continued
with a vindictive look at the stolid
back in front of her, shat are just
great round hard powders"
Her mouth drew down at the cor
ners, but she would not succumb again
to feeling sorry for herself. Instead
she shielded her eyes once more and
took stock of the various handiwOrks
Of God. The world was good to look
upon that morning. It was twirling
by in a strange rotative movement
that gave it an Elusive appearance. 1t
was like a new toy in the way Of PAN
Dramas. Things started to come nearer,
changed their minds and then swept
into the past, lingering long on steep
horizon as though they hesitated be-
fore an irrevocable plunge.
Andrea found that by holding back
her skirts she could look straight
down. She did so off and on for half
an hour and the things she saw told
her much. Forest and plain, forest
and plain swept under and away in an
endless gentle undulation cut twice
by long, wandering silver bands.
From high in the air those bands
were nothing-mere strips Of ribbon
that a child could step over. But
down there? She knew that down be-
low they were mighty rivers, doubt
less teeming with hippos, crocodiles
and snakes!

her face-a light that attends the eter-
nal wistful child within us-but be-
meath their shining gaze were shad-
ows and her cheeks were over-pale.
Just to one side of her rounded chin
was bit of black courtplaster, shame
full mask of tiny sign Of too much
chocolates and too little exercise. She
was slim enough to look tall in spite
Of that cloak-like affair Of dark blue
glove cloth that fell from her Shout
ders to her ankles in overwhelming
folds.
Through all his inspection the mans
face never changed. He looked her
over deliberately, judged deliberately,
and deliberately let down the little
ladder that gave access to the observ-
er's seat. He helped her up without a
word, strapped her in and then turned
to pour out voluble instructions in dia-
lect to the bronze statue that stood at
attention, black eyes fixed on his mas
ter's face, red lips repeating like a
his master said. :.
The white man clambered to the
drivers seat, placed before Andrea's,

raced fast down the sand and faster,
until with billowy lift it rose straight
in the eye Of the rising sun.
Andrea started to draw a full
breath of absolute joy and instead
swallowed an entire gale of wind. 1t
almost burst her open. She had to
clench her teeth to conquer it, and
with her hands made vizor for her
eyes, a wind mask for her mouth. She
wanted to sing, but she was inarticu-
late in the face of an element at
large and sparring for another chance
to rush down her throat. She felt the
cheated song racing around in her
blood, swelling her heart, informing
all her limbs with a new Joy, new
life.
She swayed this way and that,
looked up and down; then she leaned
far out to study the rugged brown
face of Mr.. Man, the face that always

feet above Puuokeokeo, the scene OF
the 1916 outbreak, and seven hours
ride from Waiohinu, according to the
story told by eyewitnesses who discov-
cred the sources of the new lava flow
and who have been within mile OF
the blistering white and red fountain.
Miss Louis Macmillan of Honolulu,
who has just returned from a first
hand inspection of the eruption OF
Mauna Loa, tells the following eye
witness story of the spectacle:
'The still hot rock under our feet
commenced to scorch our shoe soles
after five minutes or so of standing
on it. A foot back Of where was
standing, q red-hot bed of lava with
few cool stones scattered over 1t, like
a bed of Goals with few small clink-
ers on top, glowed constantly. Six
feet away on the other side a gas
flame several feet high played con-
tinually over a patch Of bare red-hot
rock, and anywhere we looked into
the cracks, the fiery, uncooled core
could be seen evilly cleaning. Every
step had to be taken with care not to
put the foot down into any of these
cracks.
"As night came on, we expected
darkness, but instead bright, rosy
glow suffused the whole country
roundabout. It was reflected from
the clouds overhead, which were bril-
liantly lit up by the glowing lava"

CITY'S EXPERTS

THE outstanding feature in
ncCtion with the Court
House bids. which were re-
jec,od only after graft was shown
by the Lockwood Committee, and
the school construction contracts
which Mr.. Untcrmyer says are
eXorbitant is that the elaborate
and costly engineering check-up
systom Of the city appears to
have utterly failed to function in
these matters. In order presum-
ably, to protect the city in its
dealings with outsiders there has
been built up within the munich
pal administration a small army
OF engineers, inspectors, eff
cheney experts and checkers OF
various kinds.
None Of these public servants
discovered that the courthouse
bid was a collusive arrangement
designed to mulct che city Of mil
lions: none discovered apparently
that any contracts for the cree
ton Of public schools we're collu-

Although Comptroller Craig is sole
member Of the new Court House Com
mittee and although Guy Lowell,
architect on the new building was AT
his disposal, he declared it is not his
function TO examine bids for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not
there is collusion between bidders.
Tho duty Of the Comptroller as the
chief financial officer OF the city, he
said, is TO pay no claims presented
until ne is satisfied they are just.
The Comptroller has no power TO
make a contract or to award a con-
tract. Such power reposes in the
Board Of Estimate as body. He said
the Comptroller makes it point to
keep as clear as possible from the
question of awards Of bids so that he
may pass on vouchers with an open
mind.
. Comptroller Claig says the power
and authority to enforce the law and
punish crimes in the matter Of Illegal
combinations is Teposed in the Attor-
ney Gene raj and tho District Attorney
whom a complaint has been made. This
pwoer is entirely different from that
conferred upon a Comptroller whose
powers are confined to the auditing OF
i vouchers, Mr.. Craig explained.
lnASmuch as Comptroller Craig says
there Is no power in his offioe which
permits him to investigate bids, and
that he therefore did not investigate
d the Court House proposal, It is OBJ
vious the millions OF dollars worth OF
offers for Court House constructir
!, were Mt investigated at all. Secretary
