Upheaval Lifts Cable.

Can you picture a folding of the
earth's crust strong enough to lift,
in the space of Is years. an area the
size of Greater New York to a height
of II, 900 feet? Such an enormous UP.
heaval took place recently in the At
lantic, according to the Popular
Science Magazine, and was discovered
by mere accident.
twenty-five years ago a submarine
cable was laid across the Atlantic
Ocean, passing near the British Island
of st. Helena. When laid the cable
rested on the bottom of the sea, about
1850 feet below the surface. Recent
ly, when it became necessary to re-
pair the cable, it was discovered that
part of the sea bottom had been lifted
more than II 900 feet, which brought
the cable within $500 feet Of the sea
level.

More than 80 out of every 100 auto

carelessness or lack Of skill, according
to recent survey of motor mishaps

gave added proof that mans ability to

has not developed so rapidly as
science has developed machinery.

Atlas Supporting Earth.

That the earth is supposed to be
carried by Atlas is merely an old
legend in classical mothology. Atlas.
the brother of Prometheus, led the
revolt against the gods, for which he
was condemned by Zeus to bear the
heavens upon his shoulders. The
story was invented by the Greeks to
explain what holds the earth up.

TWELFTH INsTALLMENT.
CHAPTER XVU.
Brother John.

~ ETTY CAREW felt something
- more than mental relief in
the knowledge that her night
- mare experience was at an end.
She woke from a deep, refresh
ing sleep and it was significant that
her first thought was one of heartfelt
gratitude that she had not to appear
in that horrible shop window. Later
came the memory of her unpleasant
guardian to be briefly considered and
dismissed
She was so Injured to the eccentrici-
ties of DR.. Latin that, beyond specu-
lating as to his purpose. she was not
greatly perturbed by his attempt to
hold her a prisoner in that gloomy
house. He was different from other
men; his methods. his standard of be-
havior. his principles did not attune
with those of normal humanity. For
very long time he had been urging
her to return to Camden road, and
she supposed that his latest exploit
was merely a sequel to wishes that
she had so persistently flouted.
She had hardly finished her break
fast before her landlady came into the
dining room and announced a visitor.
Give, She looked at the clock. 1t
was half.past 8. Then he must have
heard what had happened.
One glance at his face confirmed
this opinion.
i've just come from that old devil, "
he said vigorously. "and l don't think
he'll forget my visit! The brute! If
I'd only guessed what he had done
I thought it was strange that
he hurried me out of the house so
quickly"
She arrested an explosive view Of
the doctors conduct with a laugh,
But why did he do it?" insisted
Olive, his brow wrinkled in perplexity.
'He grows more and more incompre.
hensible every day"
Il hope you haven't quarreled with
him?" she smiled. You cannot judge
him by normal standards"
Maybe one of these days he will
be judged by standards that will be
too normal for his health" said Give
Lowbridge. Betty. it terrifies me to
think that this man could have been
so outrageous. You're not going back
to the shop again? l came to insist
upon that"
Il am not going back, anyway, she
said The doctor has finished with
me as a showgirl. Apparently having
made me a. public exhibition, he de-
sired TO keep me for private view"
At his request she told him what
had happened since she left Duke

carried IL downstairs to the little hall.
where the stage doorkeeper kept his
vigil.
II forgot to tell you, miss" said
the tanitor, there's been a man here
making inquiries about you"
1t was no new experience Tor
strangers to make inquiries" about
actresses and she had had in full the
experience, which comes to every
girl on the stage, of being pestered
by unknown admirers.
''IIe wanted to know where you
lived, but, of course, | couldn't tell
him that. And then he asked me II
YOU were any relation to DIR. Latin
This was surprising, for her asso-
citation with DIR. Latin was not gem
orally known in the theatrical world.
"Who was he, Jones?"
The man shook his head.
II don't know, miss, but he's very
spoken gentleman--a clergyman;
at least, he looks like a clergyman :
he added, cautiously.
He went out to find a taxi for her
and returned with the news:
He's waiting on the other side of
the road, miss. Do YOU want to see
him?"
"Who-the clergyman" she asked,
startled. Let me see him.
Evening star., 1927-04-22

THAT is new one" he said. 'BHt
Just tell me about that message"
She wished now that she had not
taken him into her confidence, but 1t
was futile to leave half the story un-
told, and briefly she described the
mysterious individual in sandals and
cassoCk who had come from the crowd
and who has received n very common
place letter with such marks of rev.
erence.
And I'm sure I know Brother
John. I've heard his voice before, but,
however hard 1 try, l cannot place
him"
Bill Holbrook thought quickly. The
new complication disturbed more than
one of his pet theories. -.
(which way did Brother John go?'
he asked, and. when she indicated the
direction: "Do you mind II L walk
with you?'
II can survive the contamination of
YOUR company If you can survive
mine," said Betty dryly. Unless my
memory is at fault, you objected to
my compromising society last night.
II was known in that neighborhood,
said Bill, unabashed. "Here i am
comparative stranger. Gee! I'D like
to Law hands on that bearded padre.
There is big story in this stunt OF
the doctors. I always thought there
was"
He was so interested in the new de-
velopment that he forgot the conse-
uuences which might come to him
from the revelation that he was The
man in Laffin's house when the dla-
mond buckle was stolen.
I'm going to get this story right,
he went on, and stopped suddenly.
Ahead of him a small crowd had
congregated on the sidewalk. over the
heads of the people he saw the he'll
NETS of two policemen.
Just one moment" he said and
ran on ahead of her.
Pushing his way through the crowd,
he came to clear space, where a man
lay on his back, his arms outstretched,
a look of peace upon his white face.
"Shot!" said an excited voice in his
ear "Shot dead and IN the
street, too Just a plot! Shot fired
from a car . used silencer."
One glance he gave. and then, el'
bowling back to the girl, he caught
her by the arm and dragged her back
to the space in the center where the
dead man lay.
'Who is that?" he asked, softly.
She looked and screamed. 1t was
Brother John!
