horse that doomed so high above her.
she shook her head childishly.
Her companion reached down, and
shook her shoulders sharply. Come
up at once" he said.
She never remembered just how she
finally managed TO climb up. She had
an indistinct recollection of some con-
fused argument about it, but ii all
merged mistily into the time that fol-
lowed, when she sat balanced on the
horses wide back, her arms about a
strangers neck, and her cheek against
his shoulder chafed by his rough uni
form. She gathered that they
were lost, but ii did not seem i'm
pOrtant. With the angry red
sunset, the firing reluctantly ceased.
Ann had fallen asleep, her head on
the foreigners shoulder, and he had
turned in the saddle TO slip one arm
about her yielding body, when the
horse stumbled heavily over some
| trifiing obstacle and he lurched I'M

Ann reused herself unwillingly.

The stranger shrugged, in the dark
ness. "Who knows? The question is,
are you exhausted?"
Ann did not answer, but it was, in
dubitably, the question; she was al
most at the end of her strength.
A little farther on they came to a
clearing OF the roadside, where the
| darkness was less enveloping. The
horse stopped, wistfully, and stretch
ing out his nose, he neighed. A
startlingly quick answer came from
the gloom; there was burst of rau-
cous barking and the sound of chain
resisting the rushes of dog.

Ann slipped down; she was so stiff

stand, and she chung to the stirrup

Science Has Proved That Writer'S
Imagination Had Firm Foun-
dation of Truth.

Jules Verne, out Of the ineXhaust-
ible resources of a boundless imagi-
nation, painted word pictures of fam
tastic and seemingly impossible inven-
tions, submarines, airships and others,
but the world has lived to see most
of them come true.
An American writer, during the
World war, wrote fiction story for
a weekly magazine in which he de-
scribed a submarine trapped by under.
water steel chains, being saved by a
diver who slipped through hatchway
and cut the chains with an oxy-acety-
lene torch.
An engineer in the underwriters lab
oratories at Chicago read the story
and set out to find whether torch
could be developed to burn under
water. Today, as a result, British
deep-sea divers are trying to cut up
the salvage ships sunk during the war
by burning their steel plates apart
far beneath the ocean surface.
Engineers at the laboratory, learn.
ing Of the English use of the torch
have just revealed their experimental
work, done five years ago.
An oxygen and acetylene torch con
tains in itself all the elements neces
sary for combustion under water, OF
any place else. The only problem was
to find some method of dispensing the
water between the flames and the
metal TO be cut, in order that the
5000 degree Fahrenheit temperature
of the torch might be brought into
play.
The problem was finally solved b,

CHAPTER xII-Continued.

All around the, seminary the battle
ragged, but Ann had no time TO won
der where the victory lay. She was not
certain which army had possession Of
the town, but she knew that the
ground in the front and about the
seminary building was held by Union
troops.
There was great activity among
them, and off to the right a constant
deafening sound of artillery. The
nearer guns had been placed in a
grove; only the smoke from them
ooZing through the tree-topS, white
and thin in the dead air, betrayed
where they were placed. The fighting
was so near now that often the
wounded came in without stretchers !;
they crawled back from the front by
themselves. or were roughly helped by
q less seriously hurt companion.
Ann did not know what time il was
General Reynolds had been killed, but
after that she worked grimly on, with
out hope of q victorious issue from
the fighting.

stained their blue uniforms. AT three
O'Clock the last Of the scraped lint was
used and an hour later every sheet
and towel in the place had been torn
into strips TO staunch wounds Across
the yard TO the south was a smaller
building, and Ann decided TO search
there for linen. She paused for a mo-
ment on the step; the yard below her
was crowded with excited violent men,
and off TO the right she could see that
the regiments holding the grove OF
trees had been swept back to the ridge

were men in gray. The Union men
were in a panic of retreat. They bore

force, and she found herself carried

The Italian did not hesitate; for, ac-
cording to his code, the moment had
come when pursuit was no longer pos

the door.
He returned much more quickly

looking after him, while he led the
horse from the shed, and, with a wave
of his hand to her, mounted, after the
Italian method-a spirited leap from
the ground to the saddle. He was al
most at the gate, when Ann sprang
after him.

 for Five Hours.

Perth Amboy. N. J., Oct. 22-Darfl age estimated at more than s6oo,o0t was caused here by fires which started five hours apart in two large manu. featuring plants within half mile Of each other on the Raritan river.
 The first fire, which started Satur- day night, swept through the Stand ard plant of the National Fireproof- ing company. completely destroying the main building, two kilns, a drying shed and several other structures. The loss was estimated at $500,00O.
 For more than five hours firemen from neighboring towns assisted the local department in fighting the flames which were got under control at a late hour. Bremen were still at work in the ruins early yesterday morning when an alarm was sent from the plant of the Raritan Hollow Tile Cor poration.
 The second fire attacked the engine rooms, the main building and several other structures of the plant, but flames were prevented from spreading to the kilns. The damage was esti- mated at more than $100,000.
 Although both fires came within few hours of each other, officials re- gard it as a mere coincidence. The blaze in the Raritan Hollow Tile corporation is believed to have start ed in the engine room. The cause of the fire at the National Plant has not been determined.

TAPESTRIES STOLEN
Art Treasure Worth Million Francs is Mysteriously Taken From Walls of Palace at Versailles.

Paris, Oct. 22.-A sensation was created in governmental and art cir cles today when it was learned that two great Gobelin tapestries, each valued at 100000 francs, had been stolen during the night from the walls of the Versailles palace. The guards are certain the tapestries were hang ing on the walls last evening when the palace was closed.
 The tapestries were made in 1874 and formed part of Louis xIV's col lection. One of them represented the siege of Douai and the other the en- try of the king into Dunkirk.
 The police found traces indicating the thieves had climbed lightning rod to window, breaking the glass and then releasing the latch into the Salon De Mercure. They took the tapestries off the wooden stretching frames and carried them to an auto mobile waiting in the garden.
 Another valuable tapestry in the same room was left untouched.
 The stolen tapestries weighed 75 pounds each and measured nine by sixteen feet.
