such fust time.
The world's pacing record was broken

which Is t'he fastest fourth heat ever
paced. The quarters of this heat were
made us follows: .MK. 1.01. 14, ban's. The

one day she received from her Jeweler
a tele&rum asking her to come ut once
to his shup. There she found a tall wo
man, thickly veiled, who held In her
bunds a case with two superbe dia
monds in il. Big drops, almost as large
us the diumouds, were fast falling from
ln-r eyes. "Mademoiselle," she said,
".Mr. V. tells me that your fancy Is to
possess a pair of exceptionally beauti
ful earrings. These are all thut you
fan desire. Could you puy down for
them before 5 tonight the loo.ovu francs
which I ask for them?" The belle Mag

The Jeweler put his lingers on his lips

"She Is a queen," answered the lady

PART I.
The lieutenant stood In front of the-
steel sphere and gnawed a piece of xdiie
splinter. "What do you think or It.
Steevens?" he asked.
'It's aq Idea," said Steevens, In the
tone of one who keeps an open mind.
"I believe It will smash flat," said
the lieutenant.
"He seems to have calculated It all
out pretty well," said Steevens, still im
partial. "But think of its pressure," said the
lieutenant. "At the surface of the
wuter it's fourteen pounds to the Inch;
thirty feet down It's double that; sixty,
treble; ninety, four times; nine hun
dred, forty times; five thousand, three
hundred that's a mile It's two hun
dred and forty times fourteen pounds;
that's let's see thirty hundredweight
a ton and a half, Steevens, a ton und
u half to the square Inch. And the
ocean where he's going Is live miles
deep. That's seven and a half
Sounds a lot." said Steevens, "but
it's Jolly thick steel."
The lieutenant made no unswer, but
resumed his pine splinter. The object
of their conversation was a huge globe
of steel having an exterior of perhaps
twenty feet. It looked like the shot
for some Titanic piece of artillery. It
was elaborately nested In a monstrous
scaffolding built Into the framework of

the vessel, and the gigantic spars that
were presently to sling It overboard
guve the stern of the ship an appear
ance that had raised the curiosity of
every decent suilur who had sighted It.
from the pool of London to the tropic
of Capricorn. In two places, one above
the other, the steel gave place to a
couple of circular windows of ettui inoiis
ly thick glass, and one of these, set In
a steel frame of great solidity, wus now
partially unscrewed, both the men hud
seen the Interior of this globe for the
first time that morning. It was elabor
ately padded with air cushions, with
little studs sunk between bulging pil
lows, to work the simple mechanism of
the affair.' livery thing was elaborately
padded, even the Myers upparatus
which was to absorb carbonic add and
replace the oxygen Inspired by its ten
ant when he hud crept in by the glass
manhole and hud been screwed In. It
was so elaborately padded thut a man
might have been fired from a gun In It
with perfect safety. And it had to be,
for presently a man was to crawl In
through thut glass manhole, to be
screwed up tightly und In be flung over
board and to sink down, down, down,
for five miles, even as the lieutenant
said. It hud taken the strongest hold
of his imagination; it made him a bore
at mess, and he found Steevens, the new
arrival on board, a godsend to talk to
ubout it over and over again.
"It's my opinion." said the lieutenant,
"that that glass will simply bend in
and bulge aud smush under a pressure
of that sort. Daubree has made rocks
run like water under big pressures
and you murk my words"
"If the glass did break in," suld Stee
vens. "what then?"
"The water would shoot in like u Jet
of Iron. Have you ever felt u straight
Jet of high-pressure water? It would
hit as hard as a bullet. It would simply
smash him and flatten him. It would
tear down his throat und into his lungs;
It would blow In his ears "
"What a detailed imagiiiaftou you
have!" protested Steevens, who saw
things vividly.
"It's a simple statement of the In
evitable," said the lieutenant.
"And the globe?"
"Would Just give out a few little bub
bles, and it would settle down comfort
ably against the day of Judgment,
among. the oozes and the bottom lay
with poor Klstead spread over his
own smashed cushion like butter over
breud."
He repeated this sentence as though
he liked it very much. "Like butter
over bread," he said.
"Having a look ul the Jigger?" said a
voice behind them, und Klsleud stood
behind them, spick and span. In White,
with a cigarette between his teeth, und
his eyes smiling out of the shadow or
his ample hat brim. "What's that about
bread and butter, Weybridge? Grum
bling as usual about the insufficient pity
of nuvul officers? It won't be more thun
a day now before 1 start. We are to get
the slings ready to-day. This clean skv
and gentle swell Is Just the kind of thing
for swinging off live tons of lead and
iron; Isn't it?"
"It won't affect you much," said Wey
bridge, "No. Seventy or eighty feet down,
and 1 shall be there In a dozen seconds,
there's not a purticle moving; though
the wind shriek Itself hoarse up above,
and the water lifts halfway to .the
clouds No. Down there " Me moved
to the side of the ship nnd the other two
followed him. All three leant forward
on their elbows und Mured down Into
the yellow green water.
"Peace," said Klsteud, llnishing his
thought aloud.
"Are you deud certain that clockwork
will act?" asked Weybridge presently.
"It has worked thirty-five times,"
said Elstead. "It's bound to work."
"But If It doesn't"
"Why shouldn't It?"
"1 wouldn't go down In that con
founded thing." said Weybridge, "for
twenty thousand pounds."
"Cheerful chap you are," said Rlstead
and spat sociably at a' bubble below.
"I don't understand yet how you
mean to work the thing." said Steevens.
"In the first place I'm screwed Into
the sphere," said Elstead, "and when
I've turned the electric light oil and on

three times to show I'm cheerful, I'm
swung out over the stem by the crane,
with all ihose big lend sinkers slung
below me. The top lend weight has a
roller currying a hundred fathoms of
strong cord rolled up. und that's all
that Joins the sinkers to the sphere ex
cept the slings thut will be cut when the
affair Is dropped. We use cord rather
than wire rope because it's easier t6 cut
and more buoyant necessary points, as
you'll see. Through each of these lead
weights you notice there Is a hole, und
an iron md will be run through that and
will project Blx feet on the lower side.
If that rod is rammed up from below
It knocks up u lever and sets the clock

well. The whole affair is lowered gently
Into the wuter. and the slings are cut.
The sphere flouts with the air In it it's
lighter than water but the lead weights
go down straight and the cord runs
out. When the cord Is all paid out the
sphere will go down too, pulled down
by the cord"
"But why the cord?" asked Steevens.
"Why not fasten the weights directly
to the sphere?"
"Because of the smash down below.
The whole affair will go rushing down,
mile after mile, at a headlong puce at
last. It would be knocked to pieces on
the bottom if it wasn't for that cord.
Hut the weights will hit the bottom, nnd
directly they do, the buoyancy of the
sphere will come Into play. It will go
on sinking slow and slower; come to a
slop at last and then begin to flout up
ward again. That's where the clock
work comes In. Directly the weights
smash against the bottom, the rod will
be knocked through and will kick up the
clockwork, and the cord will be re
wound on the reel. There I shall stay
fur half an hour, with the electric light
on, looking about me. Then the clock
work will release a spring knife, the
cord will be cut, and up I shall rush
again, like a soda wuter bubble. The
curd Itself will help the flotation."
"And if you should chance to hit a
ship?" said Weybridge.
"I shuuld come up at such a pace. I
should go clean through it." said Kl
stead. "Like a cannon ball. You
needn't worry about that."
"And suppose some nimble crustace
an should wriggle Into your clock
work." "It would be a pressing sort of Invi
tation for me to stop," said Klsteud,
turning is back on the wuter and star
ing ut the sphere.
They bud swung Klstead overboard
by 11 o'clock. The day was serenely
bright and calm, with the horizon lost
In huze. The electric glure in the liltle
upper compartment beamed cheerfully
three limes. Then they let him down
slowly to the surface of the water, and
a sailor In the stern chains hung ready
to cut the tackle that held the lead
Weights and the sphere together. The
globe, which had looked so large on
deck looked the smallest thing con
ceivable under the stern of the ship. It
rolled a little, aud its two dark win
dows wkli flouted uppermost seemed
like eyes turned up in round wonder
ment ut the people who crowded the
rail. A voice wondered how Klsteud
liked the rolling. "Are you ready?"
sand out the commander. "Aye, uye,
sir." "Then, let her go."
The ropes of the tackle tightened
ugaiust the blade and was cut, and uu
eddy rolled over the globe iu u gro
tesquely helpless fashion. Some one
waved a handkerchief? some one else
tried an IneiVectual cheer, a middy was
counting slowly "eight, nine, ten"
Another roll, then with u Jerk und a
splash the thing righted itself. It
seemed to be stationary for a moment,
to grow rapidly smaller, and then the
water closed over it. and it became vis
ible, enlarged by refraction und dim
mer, below the surface. Before one
could count three It had disappeared
There was a flicker of white light from
down In the water thai diminished to a
speck and vanished. Then there was
nothing but a depth of water going
down iu the blackness, through which
a shark was swimming.
Then suddenly the screw of the
cruiser begun to rotate, the water was

wrinkled confusion nnd a torrent of
foam rushed across the crystalline
clearness that had swallowed up Kl
stead. "What's the idee?" said one A. B. to.
another. '
"We're going to lay off about a couple
of miles, fear he should hit us when he
comes up," said his mate.

Sound Money Democrats who shrink
from doing the straight, holiest -thing In
the present cilsls. which is to oppose Wil
liam J. Bryan, tried to soothe a troubled
conscience by attacking and irrlBrepreseiit
ing William MeltliiU-y. They know there
Is no Democratic party now, and the Ke
publicaa party, whatever it shortcom.
iui:s. holds out the chief hope for the res
cue of the country from the rabid and
unthinking elements that triumphed III
the Chicago convention. CVjnstrvatlve
men Vho belonged to the party that was
Democratic may ! divided as to the
more effective way of lighting the radi
cals who have usurped the name. De
mocracy, but I bey cannot believe that
they serve their country well by any
kind of support given to the nominees
put up at Chicago. When one sees a
Democratic politician or newspaper whose
record forbids attiliatiuns with Populism
lending aid. In whatever fashion to the
evil alliance of Populism und demagogy,
one thinks that regularity Is dearly paid
for, or the hope of patronage is dearly
saved, at the cost of patriotism and sell
respect. If bolting was ever justifiable,
u Just occasion Is now presented when
an alliance, of foolish with ambitious
uud reckless men threatens our com
mon country with disaster und dishonor.
