Downey, 2525, my office in New York, one in November, with a desk, It was from my I sat in afternoon letter on sister. “Come home,” she sald, “and spend Thanksgiving with us. You have made excuses before, but don't do so this time. Drop business for a few days, and write that you will be here, Let us have an old-fashioned Thanks giving once more.” How could 1 go? I would have to start on the day before the holiday, and, with us, at was always a busy day. Then there were other reasons why I should remain in New York But the more I reflected. the more plainly I pictured in my mind the old home. Some one could take my place for a day or two: the engage- ments could be put over for a time. I felt a longing for the scenes of my childhood. 1 had stayed away too long. 1 resolved to go home The morning before Thanksgiving Day found me a passenger on the lay express for Boston. I had calculated to arrive there about mid afternoon and to reach Beverly, my destination, about six Then a drive, or sleigh ride three miles over the hills the farmhouse. As the train along I tled back In my seat, and, forgetting the cares of business, gave myself up to pleasant anticipation. A fine. driv. ing snowstorm had set in, and bid fair to continue all day. A tall man, wearing glasses. and having a scholarly appearance, occu pled the seat across the aisle from me. My attention had been drawn to him by his asking me for a match Just before the train started. as he made some remark upon the snow- storm. After we had got under wWaY, I noticed him two or three times re garding me intently, as though anxi ous to engage in conversation. I lay back in my seat. with my head resting on the cushions. lazily watching the driving snowflakes. and Hstening to the humming of the wheels as we rode along, preferring to be left to my reflections. Present. ly he rose and came over to where | was sitting. Seating himself in the vacant place beside me he asked: “How far are you going?” “Boston,” 1 replied. “That's my destination also” he said. “Do you stay there?” “No,” 1 answered. “I go on to Bev- erly.” He then handed me a ecard. which read: “Professor Hydrogen, Chemist and Inventor.” This aroused m3 in terest, and I gave the professor my oard. We talked for a while about chemistry, on which he seemed well posted. “Are you interested in explosive?” he finally asked, In a confidential manner. I replied that I had read a good deal on the subject as it was a sci ence which Interested me very much “Can you spare time, when we got to Boston, to come with me to my aboratory? 1 will show vou some thing which I am sure you will re gard as the wonder of the century. You will have time enongh to get your train. 1 will not keep you long.” I readily agreed to accompany him, a8 I would have an hour to spare, and this was a chance of seeing some marvel recently discovered Upon our arrival at Boston we made our way through the crowded station to the street. The professor hailed a South End trolley car: his place, he sald, was on Dover street, As we rode, he infofmed me that he had discovered a new explosive which would in a short time be used throughout the world. “Dynamite and gunpowder,” he sald, “will no longer be in nse when my new product is given a chance to show what it can do” Upon reaching his home he showed me upstairs to a small room, which appeared to be in the centre of the building, as there were no windows opening from it, light being furnished by means of a single gas fet, which was opt burning at all times, This fs my laboratory.” sald my host, with pride. “This Is where my Ydea first came to me, and where | have worked out all the details.

As he spoke, he walked toward the machine, which appeared similar to a large clock, and was constructed of heavy iron. He still held the bottle in his hand.
