Storrow sat down in a high
backed wing chair. with the sober
ing thought of death heavy on his
mind. Torrie, without moving,
watched him for a moment or two.
Then she slipped out of her chair
and crossed listlessly TO where he
sat. There she dropped to the rug
at his feet. with her arms falling
over her knees.
She twisted her body, in series
of birdlike and nesting movements
until she was comfortably placed.
He rested hand on the dark mass
Of her hair, looking down at her
bowed head. Slowly she looked up
at him as he fell to stroking the
heavy plaits.

said, whisperingly as her arms
ughtened about his knees.

SEEING THE INVISIBLE

BY Garrett p. Serviss-

though the molecules are not visible
as individuals, yet even the naked
eye can see them by wholesale in
their array, as it sees a column or a
square of soldiers placed at great
distance in the landscape. where
the separate men are inseparately
blended into lines and masses, al
though the imagination. instructed
by sound inferences from observed
facts, makes no mistake in pictur-
ing to itself the forms and attitudes
of the individual soldiers.
Similarly, science indirectly but
surely beholds the atoms, which be-
long to a stage of invisibility lower
than that of the molecules: and
again. away below the stage of the
atoms, it's inferential vision reaches
to that occupied by the amazingly
minute constituents of the atoms
called electrons. In the case of the
electrons, which are thousands of
times smaller even than the atoms,
an indirect method of viewing them
has been found, resembling that
mentioned with regard to particles
as small as the larger sorts of mole
cules
This is illustrated in Professor
Millikan's famous experiment, where
floating particles Of excessive mi
nuteness, rendered indirectly visible
by the minute aureoles of light that
they spread about themselves, were
caused to pick up or to separate
from wandering electrons. Accord
ing as one of these particles united
with or parted from an electron.
II moved up or down, and by thess
movements the invisible electron was
revealed to the mental vision of tho

no stomach for more drink that
night.
Are you sure that door is
locked?" asked the girl. out of the
silence. She watched him from

crossed the room and reassured her
that the lock was on. They were

There was no denying that
Colonel Battles was anxious TO

liberty of linking his arm through

Of the stairs. and from then on
the way was easy. The two men
ascended while Dempsey and Mr..
Welles nodded sagely in tribute to
the power of Wallingford.
"Only three copies issued?"
inquired the Colonel.
"Only three" echoed Mr.. Daw;
"the King of England has one; ]

other-the Wallingford will tickle
you, Colonel-he's a man after
your own heart"
While Mr.. Daw was ushering
the richest man of the town into

Mr.. Dempsey was busy corraling
all the small American flags he
could find to decorate the room Of
his unusual guest.
This labor he had deputed to
Abe Gunther, who fulfilled it
