Paget nodded, and resigned himself
to hla friend's guidance.
"We'll have a little dinner first,"
aald the captain. "We have nn excel
lent chef hero, and, between ourselves,
I have eaten nothing but ship's blHcult
for the past three weeks. And after
ward, when we huve got our cigars
alight, I'll take you Into the cardrooin,
which Is never In use, and give you my
message to the world. It Is embodied
more fully In my manuscript, which I
hull hand youbeforo you go. And
now let us forget that melancholy ex
hibition of human folly and fall to."
Pleased with his phruse, he led the
way Into the dining room, where he
did full Justice to an excellent meul.
After dinner the two lit their ci
gars, and the captain led the way out
of the dining room across a smull hall
and Into the cordrooni, a little, de
serted -place, through the opposite
door of which they could see ' the
smoking room and hear the noisy cries
of the members.
Master-man closed it, and the sound
subsided to a distant rumble.
"The cardrooin was built to be
sound-proof," he explained. "It Is,
except In the case of voices of un
usual timbre."
"Quite so," said Donald.
The old sea captain hesitated queer
ly, tried the chairs, and at last
stretched himself out In a comfortable
one before the fire, Inviting Donuld
to be seated opposite hlra.
You're my only hope now, my lad,"
be said In an even voice. "I've sailed

"I hope not, captain," answered
Donald.
"I'm nfrald there Isn't any doubt of
It," answered Masterman. "It's an
old organic trouble, likely to curry me
oft at any time, and . progressive In
character. Before I left for the Shet
lands, the doctor gave me a year.
That was ten months ago, nnd my
experiences haven't lengthened the
respite. You've followed deop-seu ex
ploration, haveu't you?"
"A little," answered Donald. "We
Americans seem to have taken the
lead since the doys of the" Challenger."
"Yes, Yankees have done good
work," said Masterman. "But I've got
them all beaten now. Nobody will
bother his head about the earlier dis
coveries after the next few weeks.
You've heard about the known forms
of deep-sea life, haven't you?"
Without waiting for a reply, he be
gan to speak about the strange or
ganisms that had been dredged from
the ocean bottom, so that Donald saw
the whole picture In Alasterman's
brain. He saw the eyeless fishes that
had abandoned the effort to see, and
fishes with eyes as large as dinner
plates, with which they caught the
gleams of phosphorescence thut be
tokened the pursuit of wunderlng sea
scavengers. There were fishes that
carried their own lures In the form of
luminous tentacles.
In the abysmal depths, In a realm
of perpetual night, these organisms
perp4uated an Inferno of slaughter,
preying upon each other, roving on
their Insatluble quest for food.
Masterman leaned forward and
tfpoke emphatically.
"When they are brought up up
through- three miles of water they
extihide mostly. Donuld," he said. "If
they didn't well, I've 'seen things that
would make a stout man fuiut, my
lud."
Puget shuddered as his mind con
ceived the picture thut the old cap-
t;:!n painted, lie saw the giant mon
sters of the ubysp lurking among the
yellow, carnivorous lilies that bend
and sway In lengue-lonc gardens,
cutchlng the plankton, the iloutlng or
drifting organic life of the sea, thot
conies down like finest, meul from
above, but always ready for lurger
prey.
"It's murder euthroned, Donald,"
suld Masterman. "There Isn't love-
not even maternal love. Nor pity,
either. Suppose our world were like
thatl"
He was watching Donuld keenly ns
be spoke.
"We tuke life as we find It," Lleu
tqnant Paget answered. "But, thnnk
hfeovefc, life bus Its compensations,
wro.cn make It worth the living."
He was thinking of Ida Kennedy as
he spoke.
"But once our life was like that,"
persisted Masterman. "And we've
risen above It. Don't tell me there
isn't a God when we've done that,
Just as the beautiful birds evolved out
nf vicious rentlles. You know, of
course, our ancestors were sea crea
tures. That's why the specific grav

"Yes, science tells us so."

MASTERMAN EXPLAINS TO
THEORY REGARDING
Nuval Lieutenant Donald I'uget, Just given command of a
submarine, meets nt Washington nn old friend and distinguished though
somewhur eccentric scientist, Captain Masterman. Masterman has just
returned from an exploring expedition, bringing with him a member of
the strange race, the existence of whose species, he asserts, meuuees
the humun family.
uld, who like most sullors, was a re
ligious man.
"And then," continued Masterman,
"whut does the record tell us? The
moving creatures thut have life were
made, and the great sea monsters, Le
vluthan and his kind, and the fowls
of the air. And afterwurd the earth
monsters, and creeping things. And
man not till the last. Now don't tell
me, lieutenant, that the man who
wrote the story of the creation wasn't
an up-to-date scientist.
"Well, sir, at last the day came when
the waters had cooled, the clouds
opened, nnd the sun streamed through.
By that time the ocean wasn't so
pleasant a pluce to live In as formerly,
especlully ns the climatic zones were
appearing. No doubt there was a rush
to the equutor on the part of the sur
face monsters. But the ocoun beds
were still warm from thehot rocks,
and the heat down there was good for
several thousund, or hundred thou
sund years yet.
"So some of the sea crentures re
mulned In the depths, nnd others pre
ferred to bask on the rocks In the sun
light. Then their gills begun to be
repluced by lungs, or else they hud
gills ns well ns lungs, or nn luterine-
Hate apparatus."
"Common today, captain. Certain
lizards develop either lungs or gills,
according to the medium In which
they live."
"Well. sir. as I understand It, tne
first organisms that came out on land
were armor plated, like the crabs and
spiny fossil fishes. Their bones were
on the outside, to protect them against
being eaten. But after a while the
progressive ones turned themselves In
side out. Those that didn't, remained
like the turtles and degenerated. The
rest found that It was easier to escape
their enemies by using their bones as
props and developing speed.
"Now. lieutenant, suppose men haa
developed that way In the depths of
the sen. Suppose you hud a race of
men who hud discovered, not neces
sarily, turning themselves Inside out,
like us, although they might have done
i.i
so, but oilier means jo uvoiu uuwb

"There I can refute you," answered
Donald. ''Man has developed from nn
extinct npe, an ancestor of his cous-
ns. the four anthropoids, supposedly
n chimpunzeellko creature with the
structure of a gibbon, from which he
obtained his erect posture. . Your sea
creutures would have had to go
through the lemur-ape forms."
"But let us suppose a man who de-
t'.oped off the line," persisted Mus
terman. "A manlike organism wiui
webbed feet something like n man
seul. How about mermen? Do you
teiuve there Is anything In that
story?"
"I hardly think so, captain."
"How about the old legends of the
Cyclopses?"
"A myth, Mastorman. Besides, the
Cyclops kept cattle and lived upon
land."
"But they ate men, lieutenant. How
ever, let us can our i-en oi me t-u
lmnglnnry. Grant thut there might
be such creatures, though. You'll ad
mit thut, with life so hard under the
ocean, they'd have developed more
cunning along certnln lines than the
humun race. . And they wouldn t Know
much about pity or love, or anything
except how to find their loou.
"I'll grant that," answered Donniu,
If we accept the hypothesis that such
creatures exist."
Good! Put a pin there, my lad.
Now, ns wc were saying, after thou

of the sea would disappear by ts air
fusion through the oceans every

cold for them. It's bitter cold in the
water at 31 to 32 degrees Fuhrenhelt.
Wouldn't the time come when they,
too, would feel the Impulse to migrate
Into the sun?" .
No, Masterman. Their breathing'

that, even If they could breathe ulr,
they couldn't live when the pressure
of those miles of ocean wus removed

modifying their gills Into lungs, ns

how nature works quietly, softly, se

Captain Matermnn sat bolt upright
as he spoke; he looked like some old

The Intense earnestness In his words

Klvun unto you. Matthew 7:7.
It wns four months after Nelicmluh
learned of the desolation of Jerusalem
thut he, had the opportunity to make
known his request to the king. Just
why ho did not test the king's atti
tude townrd him nnd his project
earlier, we have no Information. Pei
haps there was no great function nt
which ho wns called upon to minister
In this Interval, of his turn of serv
ice hud not arrived, or his duties were
so exacting that no opportunity was
nffonled for him to unbosom his grief
to the king.
I. Nehemlah's Request to the King
(vv. 1-8). (1) Its occasion, v. 1. As
cup-bearer he wns ministering before
the king. The cup-bearer wns more
than n mere vulet. He entered very
closely Into tae life's Interests of the
king, so that the Inner life and spirit
of the cup-bearer wns known. It was
expected of such servants that they
manifest perfect happiness while In
the presence of the kins. To appear
In his pn-sence otherwise would likely
be to the displeasure of the king.
Nehemlah's sad countenance while
thus serving awakened the king's sus
picion. The matter wns serious for
Nehcmlnh wns afraid under the cir
cumstances. (2) The king's Inquiry, v. 2. Tho
king perceived thnt Nehemlah's coun
tenance wns sud, though he was not
sick, nnd he knew that something ex
traordinary hnd coine Into the life of
bis cup-benrer.
(3) The effect upon Nehemlah, v. 2.
His heart was filled with fenr. He did
not know but what this Impropriety
was so great ns to cause. his dismissal.
His fenr wns more thnn that of losing
his position : to be dismissed from be
ing cup-benref would mean the loss of
nn opportunity to present his request
to the king; nnd, without the king's
sanction nnd aid, his enterprise would
fall.
(1) Nehemlnh's tactful reply, v. 3.
He seeks to conciliate tho king by
expressing n deep Interest In the royal
life nnd person. lie says: "May the
king live forever," mid then tells thnt
the cause of his grief was the desola
tion of the city where his fathers
were burled. This note of patriotism
met n response In the king's heart,
causing him to Inquire ns to his wish.
(5) The contents of Nehemlah's re
quest, vv. 5-8. (n) To be sent to Judah
to build the walls of Jerusalem, vv.
5, C. This request virtually mennt to
be granted a leave of absence from
the Persian court nnd to be nppolnted
military governor of that part of tho
kingdom of Artnxerxes. The king,
doubtless, snw that such a move would
be of particular benefit to his king
dom polltlcnlly, owing to the strategic
position of Jerusalem, between Baby
lon nnd Egypt. In the ense of the
brenklng out of hostilities between
these powers, to hnve n fortified city
In Palestine. would be of Immense lm
portnnce. At the king's request, a
definite time was set for this lenve of
nhsence, v. C. He remained In Jerusa
lem for twelve years. A side light on
the king's gracious attitude townrd
Nehemtiih Is given In this: "The
queen also sitting by him." She Is
not n'nnied, hut In nil probability It
was Esther. Her presence would em
bolden Nehcmlnh to nsk, nnd Influ
ence the king In granting the request.
She hnd "come to the kingdom for
such n time ns this," Esther 4:14.
(b) For letters to the governors be
yond the river, v. 0. Doubtless the
path of his Journey wns a dangerous
one, and (he travelers' safety depend
ed upon hnvlng credentials from the
king. These lettes were more than
mere credentials. They were orders
for actually conveying him nnd his
party to Judah. Ezra, yenrs before,
had desisted from asking a bnnd of
soldiers, but Nehemlah wns free to
nsk such a favor. It wns right In both
cases, but not expedient In thnt of
Ezra. Mnny problems nre clear, If
we distinguish between that which Is
lawful and that which Is expedient.
(c) A letter of requisition for sup
piles of timber, v. 8. This timber wns
needed, first for the palace or castle,
thut Is, for the fortress near the tem
ple; second, for the walls and gntes
of the city; nnd third, for the king's
ofllclnl residence.
II. Nehemlah's Request Granted, v.
8. Nehemlah was a tactful diplomat.
He exercised sound sense nnd pru
dence In all things, but he supremely
depended upon God nnd prayed for
God's dlsposnl of the king's benrt ns
he mnde his request known, v. 4. The
king granted his request "nccordlng
to the good hand of my God upon
me," v. 8. He ascribes the success of
his undertaking to God. We should
learn In nil things to give to God tho

III. Nehemlah's Journey to Jerusa
lem, vv. 0-1 1. He Journeyed from
Shushnn to Jerusalem under tho pro
tection of a mllltnry escort. This wns
of double vnlue : protection nnd snfety.
When It wns known that Nehcmlnh
wns undertnklng this work with the
consent of the king, Snnbnllut and
Tobluh were grently grieved. It nl
wnys Is n grief to the enemy when
thnt which will further the Interest
of God nnd bis people Is being mnde
to succeed. When he renched Jerusn
lem, he did not nt once muke his pur
pose known, ne wnlted for three days
nnd then viewed the situation nt night.
It Is wise to Iny well one's plnns nnd
to hnve the work of the Lord well In
bnnd before announcing your purposo
to the people. To disclose plans nt the
improper time menns defeut of your
purpose. '
