unconscious. Every now and then he stared round the room, as if be- wlldered; then he would shake his head and pass his hand wearily over his forehead. For a quarter of an hour the scene continued; then Lak- ingtOn produced an instrument from his pocket. Hugh saw the man shrink back in terror, and reach for the pen. But what impressed him most In that momentary flash of action was Peterson. There was something inhuman in his complete passivity. Even as he watched the man signing his name, no trace of emotion showed on his face-whereas on Lakington's there shOne a fiendish satisfaction.
 The document was still lying on the table, when Hugh produced his revolver. He knew there was foul he had suddenly made up his mind to do never struck him; being that manner of fool, he was made that way. But he breathed piOus prayer that he would shoot straight-and then he held his breath. The crack of the shot and the bursting of the only electric light bulb in the room were almost simultaneous, and the next second, with a roar of Come on, boys" he burst through the win dow. At an immense advantage over the others, who could see nOth- ing for the moment, he blundered round the room. He timed the blow at LakingtOn to a nicety; he hit him straight on the point of the jaw and he felt the man go down like log. Then he grabbed at the paper on the table. which tore in his hand, and picking the dazed signer up bodily, he rushed through the window onto the lawn. There was not an instant to be lost; only the impossibility of seeing when suddenly plunged into darkness, had enabled him to pull the thing off so far. And before that ad- vantage disappeared he had to be back at The Larches with his burden, no light weight for even man Of his strength to carry.
 But there seemed to be no pursuit, no hue and cry. AS he reached the little gate he paused and looked back, and he fancied he saw outside the window gleam of white, such as shirt front. He fingered for an instant, peering into the darkness and recover ing his breath, when with a vicious phut something buried itself in the tree beside him. Drummond fingered no more; long years of experience left no doubt in his mind as to what that something was.

Statesmen and Others Wrong When They Scoff at Work Done by
 Research Departments.

The man who gives up his lifetime to putting science at the service of business finds himself eternally asked, What's the use" Statesmen rise from their seats and say:
 "I see that some scientist fattening at the government trough has meas ured hundred-thousandth of an inch. Whats the use?"

 We think of railroads as progress sive-of railroad men as efficient. Are they? Not if the Railway Age Is to be believed, remarks the Nations Business.
 There are only two test plants of locomotives in the country, one owned by the Pennsylvania, the other at the University of Illinois. Only few railroads try out locomotives on road service by means of a dynamOmeter car. Whats the use?
 One road that did found that by putting an exhaust tip three-eighths of an inch smaller on Mikado type locomotive it increased the firebox temperature 400 degrees and saved $57,000 a year in coal. On another line tests made It possible so to alter a locomotive as to reduce its fuel consumption 10 per cent and permit 1t to haul three more passenger cars on less coal and water.

"Cf course you must stop here for the night" he cried. Phyllis, my dear, will you tell them to get a room ready?"
 With an inscrutable look at Hugh, in which thankfulness and apprehen- sion seemed mingled, the girl left the room. There was an unnatural gilt ter in her fathers eyes-a flush on his cheeks hardly to be accounted for by the warmth of. the evening; and 1t struck DrummOnd that during the time he had been pretending to look at his car, Mir. Benton had been forti- flying himself. It was obvious. even to the soldiers unprofessiOnal eye. that the mans nerves had gone to pieces, his daughters worst forebod- ings were likely to be fulfilled. He talked disjointedly and fast; his hands were not steady, and he seemed to be always waiting for something to happen.
 Hugh had not been in the room ten minutes before his host produced the whisky. and during the time that he took to drink a mild nightcap, Mir. Benton succeeded in lowering three extremely strong glasses of spirit. And what made 1t the more sad was that the man was obviously not a heavy drinker by preference.
 At eleven o'clock Hugh rose and said good night.

when the shins Come In.

In Hawaii. the Philippines and Cuba one of the chief topics of interest to the islanders is the arrival and de- parture of steamers. Newspapers de vote whole pages to these boat move ments, to lists of the passengers, interviews with notables on board and stories of the voyage by members of the officers staffs and crews. In fact the arrival of the evening train in a mainland country town holds no more interest for the residents than the maritime news has for the people of Honolulu, Manila and Havana. The Cuban capital has a new object of interest in this regard in the lately instituted daily air serv- Ice between that city and Key West. The planes are of the United States navy scout type. each carrying eight passengers.

In fact, even as he heard the door open and shut behind him. he saw Peterson come out of a small summer-hOuSe and com mence strOlling up and down, smolI- ing a cigar. Then he turned round and faced the girl.
 Charming as she had looked in Lon don, she was doubIy so now, in sim pie linen frock which showed off her figure to perfection. But if he thought he was going to have any leisure to enjoy the picture undisturbed, he was soon disillusioned.
 "Why have you come here, Cap tain Drummond?" she said, a little breathlessly. "I said the Carlton the day after tomorrow"
 Unfortunately" said Hugh, "Fd left London before that message came My servant wired 1t on to the post office here. Not that it would have made any difference. I should have come. anyway"
 An involuntary smile lowered round her lips for moment; then she grew serious again. Its very dangerous for you to come here," she remarked quietly. If once those men suspect anything. God knows what will hap. pen"
 It was on the tip of his tongue to tell her that 1t was too late to worry about that; then he changed his mind And what is there suspicious" he asked, 'in an old friend who happens to be in the neighborhOod dropping in to call? Wherefore your telephone message? What's the worry?"
 She bit her lip and drummed with her fingers on the arm of the chair. If I tell you," she said at length, twill you promise me, on your word of honor, that you won't go blunder- ing into The Films, or do anything foolish like that?"
 "At the present moment I'm very comfortable where I am, thanks" re- marked Hugh.
 "I know" she said; "but I'm so dreadfully afraid that you're the type of person who who ." She paused. at a loss for a word.
 ''WhO bellows like a bull, and charges head down." interrupted Hugh with a grin. She laughed with him, and just for moment their eyes
