This Is a weird story of a pseudo-selcntlflc rlinractcr that concerns
the discoveries of an ecccntrlf American naval, officer, the fulth of n
young lieutenant In tho soundness of bis elder's mind, evidence of the
existence of a strange race of undersea beings, amazing adventure dur
ing a submarine voyage, and a strong, love Interest. It In one of the
weirdest tales put out -since the days of Jules Verne. Our reuders
will find It a most gripping htory.
THE EDITOR.
CHAPTER I.
The Mad 8ea-Captain.
Lieutenant Donald Paget, emerging
from the navy office In Washington In
itate of high exuberanco at having
received command of a submarine, col
lided violently with a tall, elderly, man
of singular aspect
The stranger was dressed In a quasi
nautical costume of his own devising,
resembling nothing known to any navy
In the world. Ills Iron-gray beard
wept down to Ills waist, giving him
the aspect of a twentieth-century
Noah,: and Just then he was very angry
Indeed, for. standing stock-still at the
entrance of the building, he shook his
enormouit fist at one of the porters,
whose bluck and highly shocked ex
pression Indicated his unhappy framo
of mind at this breach of. decorum.
"Confound you, sir!" exclnlmed the
lieutenant angrily as he recoiled from
bis lnspact upon tho sturdy figure on
which the collision had made no more
Impression than if he had fallen
agnlnst tho Washington monument.
Why. don't you look"
Then, catching sight of the long
beard "Why. Cuptaln Musterman I"
he exclaimed.
"Donald Paget I" cried tho elderly
man, grasping him by tho hand. "Kx
cose my being upset, but these Jacks-In-offlce
will be the death of the repub
lic one of these days. I have Just
been trying to see the secretary on a
matter affecting not only America In
which case his Indifference would not
surprise me but the entire human
race. What do you suppose they told
meT
"I am Inclined to think that you gol
no further than the porter, captain."
replied the lieutenant.
"Klijht. sir 1" exclaimed Masterinnn,
.beginning to grow angry again. "And
If I were not a man of snperhuriinn
patience, combined with Inexhaustible
tact, slngulnr clarity of mind, and te
oaclty of purpose In fact, nn obsti
nate oW mule I should let tho human
race go hang!"
Lieutenant Paget took the Irate old
man by the arm. "I wouldn't do that,
captain," he said, smiling. "Come and
tell me all about It, and let us see
whether we cannot devlso some means
of saving the race. You sec, now that
the navy department Is so busy on ac
count of tho war, perhaps a little leni
ency with Its shortcomings might be
In order, eh?"
"The war? What war?" demanded
Masterman.
"Why. our few words with the Ger
mans, Mastertnan."
"What's that? War with the Ger
mans? You don't mean to tell ine we
are at war with Germany?"
"Do " you mean to say you don't
know that America ami Germany are
at war?" demanded' Paget Incredu
lously. "No, sir I And, what's more, It
Doesn't Interest me. How the deuce
should I know all tho gossip and frivol
ities of the day when I only returned
to tho capital yesterday?"
"Put, my dear captain gossip nnd
frivolities 1" exclaimed the lieutenant.
"Surely yon have seen newspapers, or
heard people talking about It?"
"I tell you I haven't seen or heard
anything 1 I've got more Important
things to think about. Anyhow, It will
have to be stopped at once," said Mns
terinan, half turning. "I'll have to go
back and see the secretary Immedi
ately." However, he suffered his companion
to lead him out of the building and
along the street, while the lieutenant,
firmly convinced that his old friend
was mad, held him by tho arm tightly
and listened to the captain's disjointed
mutterlngs In the hope of discovering
tho nature of his delusion.
Donald Paget had known Captain
Jonathan Mustfrinan when he was at
Annapolis, where the old man, who
had once been a quartermaster In 'ne
navy, held a subsidiary position ok the
Instructors' staff. The acquaintance
had continued Intermittently. Master
man had risen In life until he obtained
tho command of n ship fitted out, part
ly by private subscription, partly vuh
the aid of a government subiidy, for
tho purpose of deep-sea exploration.
Iu this and subsequent expeditions
he had madu r.mnc for himself by
the remarkable nature of bis discov
eries, he hud discovered the prolon
gation of the submarine spur of the
continental shelf, extending from the
Norwegian coast toward the Furoes;
he had Invented an Improved net for
cooping up the larger denizens of the
ocean depths; and then he had mil li
fted all the personal appreciation and
"fame which he had acquired during
his various voyages by asserting that
mammalian life existed on the scu
floor, and by championing the cause
of the sen serpent.
That was the end of Captain Mas
. terman's activities so far us the gov
ernment was concerned. In a llnal In
terview the secretary of the nuvy had
said to hi in:
"Personally I believe In you. Mus
terman. Put It Isn't the discoveries
that count, It's getting the scleiitlllc
world to believe In them. 1 believe In
the sea serpent, myself, because I've
seen three of them; but I wouldn't
dare to admit It, even In my club
- smoking r xim, and we can't gut you
another subsidy.
The secretary's confession duly ap
peared In a newspaper article, and the
cartoonist. Illustrated It with a draw
ing showing lit in as a sea serpent with
three heads. In the course of his ex
planation, Masterman consigned the
entire staff of tho navy department to
that place where brimstone Is unmol ti
ded with molasses.
That ended the secretary's career,
and It would have ended Mnsterman's
If his had not been ended already.
After that the old man became
known as a bore who buttonholed pub
lic men nnd tried to Induce them to
subscribe to the fitting out of a. new
deep-sen exploration expedition. For
years he haunted the lobbies of the
capltol and the clubs, growing more
dogged and obstinate and vituperative
as he met with disappointment after
dlsappolptment.
Then, when his caso seemed hope
less, he had succeeded In Interesting
an American millionaire, with whose
aid he had fitted out an expedition to
tho Shetlnnds nnd Faroes, from which
he had apparently Just returned. Lieu-

"Yes, It's a queer world, '.untenant ;
and tho oddest thing of all Is that
when one has something of the utmost
Importance to the human rnce to make
public, not a single man will take the
least Interest In It I can't Induce a
single member to listen to me. How
ever, we live and let live; and, as I
snld, the organization helps. But can
you dlno with me?"
"I've nothing particular to do this
evening for the first time In years."
Then do come In ami have dinner
with me," said the old man eagerly. "I
won't pretend that I'm not going to
try and enlist your aid to save the
human race In spite of those benight
ed, besotted, bllnd-ns-a-bat blasto
derms In the admiralty office, because
I am. But I believe that Providence
has sent you to me, and If I can't
mnko you believe me, at least I don't
want It said that Jonathan ltoderlck
Masterman went down Into his grave
without warning the human race of
what was coming.
"Sir, If the public knew n tithe of
what I know, they would make peace
with France Germany? Thank you)
and arm themselves against the most
relentless enemy that ever threatened
mankind. Sir, you will yet live to see
old Jonnthan ltoderlck Mhsterson'a
statue In gold, standing In front of the
capltol."
Paget, now quite convinced that hrs
old friend was raving mad, followed
him Into a queer little building, appar
ently a combination of club' and hotel.
The smoking room, which was situ
ated on tho ground floor Immediately
behind the clerk's desk, was crowded
with members, all talking at once at
the top of their voices. As the captain
paused to enter his guest's name In
the book, Paget looked In through the
drifting smuke clouds.
A dozen men hnd the floor, and were
gesticulating furiously.
Cuptaln Masterman, having en
tered his guest' name, touched him
upon the arm.
"They're all mnd, my lad, said the
old man, surveying the assemblage
wiih a look of pity. "No doubt you
wonder how I cau associate my name
with theirs. If It wasn't for our mag
azine, In which our articles appear, and
our excellent organization, I couldn't
bring myself to it."
"Who edits the magazine?" Inquired
Donald.
"That was a matter of some diffi
culty," replied Masterman. "It proved
Impossible to find a member sufficient
ly broad-minded to consider the others
nnd allow them space, and nobody
would accept my own offer to become
tho editor, simply out of professional
antagonism
'What's That? War With the Ger
mansr tenant Paget gathered from his ram
bling words that he had lost his ship,
and had returned, the sole survivor,
In one of the ship's boats, which ho
had rowed for several hundred miles
across the stormy waters of tho North
Atlantic.
"Hut I brought my specimen home
with me, lad 1" he exclulmed, clutching
at his companion's arm. "ThlnVf of
that, lad I She didn't want to eat.
They don't eat after they're mature,
Donald. That simplified mutters con
siderable. And so I brought her, and
I got her safe to my home. Donald"
Tho old man's voice failed him. Ho
began muttering to himself ubsently
again. No doubt his terrible experi
ence had unhinged his bruin. Lieu
tenant Paget had always known Mus
teniuin to be u natural eccentric, but
never before had Iu talked like this
about tho sufety jt humanity, und
some awful and Imminent danger
which only ho coulJ avert. Tho lieu
tenant could see that the old mans
cheeks were sunken ; his eyes were
wild, nnd under his long coat the
faded blu uniform was shrunken and
stained with sea water.
Lieutenant Paget felt well disposed
toward the whole world Just then. He
hud been summoned home from serv
Ice with the Atlantic fleet to receive
his commission as commander of the
l'T5. And Miss Idu Kennedy, the
daughter of the American consul gen
eral in London, whom he had met
there tho year before had written him
that she was sailing tn company with
i her aunt by the Ileotla for New York,
At such a time, when his profes
sional and perianal Interests were be
ing served so well by fortune. Paget
felt that lute had played a wretched
trick i!im Masterman, whose lifework
had utterly failed of recognition nwln.
to his defects of temperament. Though
he wus sure that the old seu cnptuln
was crazed, he admired hlin as a dar
ing seaman aud an original genius of
a high order.
"My dear lleutennnt, I am extremely
glad to have met you. Nothing could
have been more fortunate," snld Mas
terman, recovering his fiti:inliiilty
wllh a suddenness that surprised his
friend. "Call you find the time to
come Into my club and have a little
chat with me? It's the Inventors, but
they call It the 'March Hares.' I be
lieve, because of some of the queer
characters there. In fact, between

Captivating Morning Coats.
Whoever thought tip the morning
coat or breakfast coat, added a new
Joy to life. It has taken Its bright
place In our midst and Is welcome to
stay, and destined to do Just that for
the rest of time. It will take a great
Inspiration to crento something equally
ca tlvatlng to replace It
The morning coat Is a gay and pretty
giument, made of light-colored taffeta,
on the lines of a regulation cont. It
Is dignified enough to appear at the
breakfast table und frivolous enough
to be charming. It Is long, reaching
almost to the bottom of the lacy petti
coat that is Its companion for life.
It hns a coat collar and n belt and fast-
Each wanted to utilize ens nt the front like any other coat
the entire available space for his own
crazy Ideas. So we drew lots for It
Fortunutely, I won the editorship lost

picking up nn attractive little publica
tion that lay on the clerk's desk.
"Put I am not going to talk to you
In the smoking room," continued Mas
terman, "for that atmosphere would
prejudice you against believing what
I am going to say. And I must con
vince you, my dear boy, because those
lunatics are utterly beyond the bounds
of reason, nnd much Is at stake. A
cataclysm Is Impending which will In
evitably destroy humanity unless we
devote our common energies to the
maintenance of our lives, our liberties
nnd our civilization."
Tn the matter of sleeves It Is wayward
refusing to go further than elbow or
three-quarter length.
In the coat shown In the picture
there ure pockets at each side edged
with shirred bands of taffeta. This
finish Is used un the sleeves and down
the front of the coat nnd the buttons
are covered with taffeta. They fasten
through cords, made by covering cahls
cord with the silk Instead of shirred
bands, full box-plaltings- made of nar
row strips of silk, frayed out Into
fringed edges, make a lovely finish.
Almost anyone could make a coat of
this kind if It were worth while to
spend the time, but they are so Inex
pensive ready made that there Is noth
ing to bo gained by doing the work
ut home.
Of coarse nothing could look bet
ter with a breakfast cont than the lit

Rome twelve or fourteen years after
the revival of the worship of Jehovah
under the administration of Ezra, No

restore the city walls nnd civil author
ity. The walls and gates of the city
had lain In ruins ever since they were
broken down by Nebuchadnezzar. In
this condition the remnant of the
Jews who had gone back to Jerusalem
were exposed to the dangers of as
saults from the surrounding enemies.
Not only was this exposure detrimen
tal to the pence nnd comfort of the
people, hut II was a matter of severe
reproach to them (v. fi). Nehemlah
was n man of strong character. Though
occupying a position of high honor nnd
responsibility In the very center of
tho great heathen capltol, the desire to
honor Cod was uppermost In his lvnrt.
He Is nn example to nit young men.
demonstrating to them that It Is pos
sible to be true to God regardless of
the environment In which he may be
compelled to live. In order for a man
to thus stand, his life must bo rooted
In Christ, nnd these roots our faith
must be watered nnd kept alive
through vital communion with God In
prayer and study of His Holy Word.

In the 20ih year of Artaxerxes. He

of the deplorable condition of Jeru

there.
2. The cccalnn of (vr. 2, S). The
visit of Nehemlah's brother and certain
men of Judnh made It possible for him
to Inquire concerning the state of the
remnant and Ibe conditions of Jeru
salem. They Informed hlin that (hey
were In great affliction and reproach.
3. The effect upon Nehemlah (v. 4).
He was greatly moved by the story ot
the distress of his brethren. Though
occupying a position of honor, and en
Joying all that heart could desire, he
keenly took the misfortune of his
brethren to heart. He not only shed
tears of sympathy, but took these bur

CASE OF BROTHERLY LOVE
New King of Greece Once Hurled
Challenge at Crown Prince, But
Latter Declined to Accept
A good story Is told concerning the
new Klnir Alexander of Greece, be
tween whom nnd his elder brother,
I'rlneo George, there Is not, nor ever
has been, any love lost One day
shortly after his father's accession to
the throne a shoot was In progress on
the royal estates near Athens, and
during the luncheon hour a discussion
arose on accidents at shooting pur
ties.
"No man has ever peppered me In
mistake for a pheasant," remarked
Prince George. "If anyone were fool
ish enough to do so I would shoot him
dead on the spot"
Shortly afterward, when sport hnd
been resumed, the crown prince felt a
shower of shot rattle rouud his gait
ered legs, and, turning In a fury to
find whence It proceeded, saw his
brother with a gun leveled In his di
rection. "I've got another barrel ready,"
said Prluce Alexundcr. "Will you
shoot?"
The challenge was not accepted.

The Difference.
Major General (addressing the men
before practicing an nttack behind the
HncH) I want you to understand that
there Is a difference between a re
hearsal and the real thing. There are
three essential differences. First, the
absence of the enemy. Now (turning
to the reglmentul sergeant major),
what Is the second difference?
Sergeant Major The absence of the

All millinery minds appear, to travel
to an Inevitable goal, no matter by
what road they go. When they nego
tiate with fashion concerning the mat
ter of mld-wlnter hats, fur and velvet,
fur and metnl brocades, fur with metal
embroideries, fur with metul cloth, ap
pear to be the end of their Imagina
tions. One might think It contrary to
thj constitution. In the renlm of style,
to leave out fur; for It Is everywhere.
But, if tho designers hnven't fur then
they use fabrics that suggest It, and
feathers.
Very small neckpieces made to
match, account partly for tho partial
ity shown to fur. Juat a touch of
fur on the hat, and a high collar, like
a small muffler of the same fur, to be
worn with the -hat, leaves no doubt
In tho mind as to the smartest thing In
winter millinery. The nwekplece may
be a scarf or cape, and both It and the
hnt that goes with It may be of cloth
nn fur. Designers have made many
variations on this theme nnd all of
them successful.
Three new arrivals In millinery are
shown In the group above. Something
between a cap and a turban nt the cen
ter of the picture, Is made all of caracul
and It Is draped up at the center of
the front revealing a gleaming hit of
silver brocade on a black ground. This
hat Is soft and furnished with a chin
strap of the fur that extends from side
to side nnd fastens with a suup fast
ener. '
Very few hats are stiff, but mere
are many In which only the crowns
Creps to Be In Vogue.
There Is a prediction that crepe of
many sorts will be decidedly fashion
able next year. And for that women
are thankful. They have all learned of
the charm of crepes of various sorts In
the last few seasons, when georgette
tnd other crepe fabrics have been In
such wide vogue. Perhaps one of the
chief charms about crepe Is that It
clings and falls In such soft and at
tractive folds and lines. Moreover, It
Is eminently practical, for It doea not
tbmr wrinkle.
are soft. The pretty hnt at the lower
right Is of this, description. It Is made
of taupe-colored velvet embroidered
with silver threads. The coronet Is
edged with moleskin and the soft
crown Is finished with three small
pompoms of this fur set where the vel
vet drapery Is fastened down.
Tho hnt at the left Is of brown hath
ters' plush with the brim smoothly
covered and the crown draped with
this beautiful material. It dares' to
be furless, Inasmuch as the plush la
much like a glossy fur, and Is trimmed
with a handsome flat band of feathera
that extends across the front of the
brim.
Veils Have Magic Lure.
The lure of the veil is second only to
the lure of milady's eye. For motoi
use the veil is or tnicK suhstantlal
chiffon almost too coarse to claim rec
ognition to Its parent stem, nnd prefer
ably In taupe, beige or gray, though
some of the darker brown veils are ex
cellent and the high colors are per
missible for those who like to fleck the
grim winter landscape with a touch of
color. Where the veil Is attached to
the motor cap usually It matches. For
the separate veil the style that Is liked
Is square about three nnd a half by
four yards or even longer, and la cleft
at one end or both for a short ways to
ntlnilt of close draping In helmet effect
about the head nnd face.
Stylish Coat Sleeves Snug.
The smart coat sleeves Ot the arm
snugly from Bhoulder to wrist and
there should be a turnover cuff of
white satin or muslin at the edge. The
sleeves for bodices, shirtwaists and
uue-plece frocks are cut much longer
than the arm and the length pushed
buck by a tight cuff. Evening gowua,
formal and Informal, have long, full,
transparent sleeves that are altucbed
by one or two points to light brace
let at the wrist,
proper way tn 'sympathise with the un
fortunate. It Is manly to weep with
those In distress, nnd to pray for
those who have need. Jesus wept over
Jerusalem nnd prayed for his own.
Nehemlah exhibited the spirit of true
patriotism. The affliction and shame
of his own people went close to his
own heart. Nntlonnl nnd racial soli
darity constitutes the real basis of
patriotism. The reproach and affile- I
tlon of a nation Is the reproach and
affliction of every member thereof.
II. Nehemlah's Prayer for Israel
(vv. 5-11). We are taught that In the
midst of nfllletlon. we should pray
Nehemlah In this enrly time practiced
this New Testament direction. A
study of his prayer Is most helpful.
1. It was earnest (v. 4). He fasted
and prayed for several days. When
men are willing to desist from food
nnd turn aside from their occupntlont
to pray to God. they nre unmistakably
In earnest. This Is true fasting. Mere
ly abstaining from food Is not noces
s'arlly fasting. It Is when our hearts I
have entered Into sympathy with God j
and his people nnd the desire for fooi
Is removed, thnt there Is fasting whlct
Is worth while.
2. The ground of (v. 5). He plead
covenant relationship and the faith
fulness of God In keeping his covenant
It Is a good thing always In our pray
Ing to plend thus with God. He If
delighted when we come as childrer. ,
pleading .for the things we need on
the basis of our relationship to him.
8. Unselfish (v. C). He has as hit
supreme object the welfare of Israel
His personal Interests were, not af
fected, cither for better or for worse
by the condition of the Jews In Jeru
salem. Many prayers do not counl
with God because they are self-center
ed. They display the utter selflshnesi
of the one who offers them.
4. Penitent (vv. fl. 7). He acknowl
edges thnt the state of Israel was dat
to disobedience to God's command
ments nnd their corrupt dealings wltt
God. So completely had he Identified
himself with his people that he Includ
ed himself with Israel ns having
sinned.
B. The prayer of faith (vv. 8. 0)
He believed the word which God bai
spoken to Moses touching his willing
ness to restore nnd bless his people
though he was obliged to scverelj
Judge them. In our prnylnct, we slinalc
be able to point to some definite prom
Ise In God's word, as we plead wltt
him. Faith takes God at his wort'
and holds hlin to It.
0. Definite (vv. 10. 11).
a. He pointed to the specific people
