secrets and mysteries that were al
most unbelievable until one actually
witnessed the workings out of them.
The Nest was created IN the second
decade Of the twentieth century, when
every perfected device and power of
our own. wonderful and marvellous age
was available.
Where hydraulic power was need
ed, the lake supplied it. Whatever Of
electricity was required, the lake sup
piled that, too, through the hydrau-
lics-for the Nest had its own small
dynamo, its own storage batteries, and
was not dependent upon outside
sources for the working of it's mys-
teries. Whatever of compressed air
resourcefulness was employed in the
operation of heavy steel doors and
blinds, and the like, was produced
from the same limpid source, the lake

ly, to the stables-for well Katherine
knew that they would have been his
goal that early morning had he. been
left to his own devices. The senator
was all Kentuckian in his love for
horses, and Katherine's inheritance
of that love had not been married or
lessened by the high-powered cars in
her husbands garage.

cheating at cards. Convinced
that he is concealing his real

terry. She has formerly had ex-

of a crime her brother, Roder-
lex Gfaxwilton, who is believed
to be dead. Bingham Harvard,
who once bore the title Of the
Night Wind, becomes suspicious
Of Belknap and of Katherine's
attitude toward him. Roberta
arrives on the scene under the
name CT SSenorita Cervantez, a
pianist, who is to entertain the
guests. Harvard attacks Bel
knap ore night, after he has re-
ceived notes from both Katherine
and Roberta from a balcony Of
the house. Belknap does not
recognize his assailant. At mid
night Katherine discovers Rob
erta in the grounds with a
strange man whom she believes
to be her supposedly dead brother

quarrel between her and Bclkanp

DARDANELLES LESSON.
For their guidance, here is how
the Germans and Turks REINFORCED
the Notifications" along the Oar
danelles and in the waters of
Smyrna in Asia Minor.
The British had a naval mission
in Turkey at the outbreak Of the
European war. The mission was
headed by Admiral Limpus, as
sisted by q large staff Of able Of
fcers. The mission was in charge
not only OF the Turkish navy, but
of all Turkish coast Notifications
as well.
When the Turkish government
decided to enter the war on the
side Of the Central Powers against
the Entente, Admiral Limpus and
his officers were dismissed. Be.
fore they went they did a great
deal of damage to the Turkish
fleet by smashing all the delicate
parts of the machinery, removing
every gun sight, and what not.
In addition they put out Of reach
whatever could be carried easily
out Of a coast battery.
As n browning effort they put
