of some Invisible body. He saw the

It was a musical ringing, exactly
like that produced by drawing the

clear. "Donald looked Into this tank,
which was open at the top and not

Ho turned back to the first tank,
and nil at once he perceived two black
specks, close together, halfway be

glass roof. Each was about the size
of a smnll currant Donald went
nearer. Ho saw thera move. Then he

Like all sailors, Donnld Paget was
hot free from superstition. Any known
danger he could have faced bravely,
but this unknown thing was terrify
ing. He felt his knees give under him.
His Impulse was to fly.
He turned, and nt that moment
something descended upon his head
and struck him, half conscious, to the
floor.
Dimly, through the gnthering mists,
he mode out the form of a middle
aged bearded mnn. He sow the red
face, the shrewd gray eyes that looked
Into his, and recognized MncBeaitl.
Beside him lay the sandbag with
which the 'mnn hnd felled him.
' Unable to move, Donnld felt Mac

until he-nme upon the envelope con

MacBeard drew It forth with a grunt'
and stood up under the gas to exam
ine It.
A brief survey satisfied him that he
bad found What he was seeking. He
grunted again and looked down at
Donald. Apparently satisfied with his
work, he turned toward the water
tanks. He must have heard the
splashing of the monster aslt re
sumed Its Journeylngs, for he started
an Instant, and then, as If curious,
he drew nearer to tho first of the
tanks with the nlr-plpe attachment.
He stood quite still, looking at the
thing In the water. Donnld wondered
fiwhcther he had discovered It, and
whether ho hnd perceived the eyes.

Donald staggered to his feet,
clutched nt tho wall to steady himself,
and remained thus, while the swim
ming room gradually grew still. The
light from the gos-Jet fell upon the
water tanks. . And, looking at the far
ther tank, Donnld had a queer Illu
sion. He thought he saw the very misty
outlines of the body of ' a beautiful
the merest shadowy shape,
which swam before his eyes and was

of prismatic blend of coloring.
But before he hnd tlmeto convince
himself thnt It was or was not the

perceived very clearly a cloudy form
beginning to. take shape within the
nearer tank.
' The outlines grew clearer momen
tarily. Ho saw what seemed to be
the body of a hairless monkey, sup

were two slmllnr arms, the webbed

And he half beiieved MacBeard had

Tint, ns he thrust his hnnds Into

out the single pnge of Mnstermnn's

there was at least some basis ior me

Under the light of the next lamp
he read the page.

Of one thing only he was sure: he

CHAPTER IV.
The Quest of the Sea Shark.
Lieutenant Donnld Pnget stood on
the upper plntforra of the F55, which
ran awash In the waves of the North
Atlnntlc. far from the mother ship
which had convoyed her nnd others of
the flotilla ulraost to the north or
Scotland.
The frnll little craft hummed noisily
as her petrol motors drove the twin
screws throuch the water. The too,
one of tho older type of submarine,
wns mnkltiB ten knots through a dim
cult sea. Within her 250 feet by 115
she held an amazing potentlnllty for
destruction.
Above the conning tower rose the
single periscope for the captain or
lookout mnn now almost useless,
should the F55 submerge herself, on
nccount of the washing sens. Within
the tower were the observation port,
denth meter, nnd tubes connecting
with the. engine room nnd torpedo

n.nmnii to assume a dual personality.
One part of him bent Itself automat
ically to Its task. The other was
thinking over the events of the past
few duys, and pondering on their sig
nificance. On the day following his visit to
Baltimore, Donuld had telegraphed re
peatedly to New York, but no news
had been received of the Beotla, and
ho hnd ben unnble to obtain any In
formation concerning her from any of
tho port ofllclnls. He had finally gone
aboard at Newport News In a very
disappointed frame of mind, hopeless
of meeting Ida Kennedy until after
the war.
The chances of his surviving It did
not appear to him to be brilliant ones.
A last message from the mother ship
Informed III tn to keep his course
toward the Shetlnnds. He was In
structed that a battle cruiser had
slipped out of the Kiel canal nnd
was lurking somewhere among the
Norwegian fjords, with a view to
evading tne blockade, making for the
Atlnntlc, and hnrnsslng shipping there.
The Inference from this statement
was an obvious one, for tho American
fleet's patrol Joined the British In this
longitude.
"Smoke to stniloard, sir!"
Sam Clouts, the lookout was speak
ing, nnd Instnntly the two parts of
Donnld's personality fused. Ida Ken
nedy wns forgotten. Upon the hori
zon, through his glasses, Donnld could
see a tiny spiral of curling smoke.
ne flung over the surface steering
wheel and hended tho F55 straight for
the stranger. From that distance he
knew that, while he could see the
funnels of the ship, the submarine was
Invisible, owing to the curvature of
the earth.
Relinquishing the wheel to Clouts,
he watched the stranger. Gradually
the smoke thickened ; then there came
Into view two funnels, and n hull half
invisible nmong the chopping waves.
It was Impossible to mistake 'the on
coming ship. She was a battle cruiser
of the Bluecher class, and she could
only be escaping westward to harry
commerce along the Atlnntlc trndo
route. With her fast heels and 12
1nch guns, she could match any unit
afloat except those of the home squad
ron. Donald's luck was with hlra after
all.
She was proceeding west-nor'-west,
evidently purposing to round the Shet
lnnds nnd so gain the shelter of the
open seas. It was a daring mnncuver,
and she would certainly he sighted by
the British destroyer flotilla. Still,
though she could hardly outstenm
these fast little craft, sho might beat
them off and escnpe before either the
British or the American blockading
vessels could come upon the scene.
Donald spoke a sharp command Into
the tube of the diving station. The
hatch was Jammed down. ,The hori
zontal rudders at tho bow were de
flected, the water rushed Into the div
ing tanks, nnd the F55 began to dip.
The surface running light slanted sea

slowly regained poise ns the'stern fol

even keel. The hum of the petrol mo

the roar of the lnrushlng Water; then
the electric motors took ,up their
steady throbbing.

Proclamations of
Revolutionary Days
THE InstThnuksglvIng proclama
tion of the revolution was re
ported to congress October 18,
1783, by Duanc, Samuel Hunt
ington and Holten. It wns written by
Mr. Dunne nnd given to the people on
the second Thursdny In December. It
exnresses thnrrts for the discharge of
troops In the following words-;
"Whereas. It has pleased the Su-
nreme Ruler of all human events to
dispose the hearts of the late bellig
erent powers to put n period to the
effusion of humnn blond, by proclaim
ing cessation of nil hostilities by

are not only hnpplly rescued from tho
rtnnpirn nnd cnlnmltles to which they
have been so long exposed, but their
freedom, sovereignty ana indepen

every reason for praise and gratitude
to the God of their salvation; ... the
United Stutes In congress assembled
do recommend It to tho several stntes
to set apart the second Thursday In
December next ns a any or public
thanksgiving."
The first national Thnnksclvlns to
be promulgated after tho adoption of
the Constitution or the United States
was written by Washington nnd Issued
on October 8, 1789. This wns n gen
eral recommendation of thnnksgivlng
for the establishment of tho Constitu
tion. The whereabouts of the original
of this Instrument Is unknown. The
earliest Thanksgiving proclamation of
Washington as president In the pos
session of the department of state Is
one dated January 1, 17UD, ana was
Issued in view of the suppression of
the rebellion tn western Pennsylvania,
which for a tlrao threatened tne safety
of the union.
This document was written bv Alex
ander Hamilton, secretary of the treas
ury, und bears amendments by Ed
mund Ilnndolim. secretary of state.
Tho original copy Is yellow nud the
Ink Is faded, but It is yet legible. It
Is tho engrossed copy which bears the
great seal of tho United States and the
signatures of Washington und Run-
dolph. The proclamation Is as fol
lows :
"When we review the cnluinltlcs

BE THANKFUL AT ALL TIMES
Too Few of Us Think of Gratitude In
Connection With Our Every
day Mercies.
Genuine thankfulness Is one of the
sweetest, richest and holiest of the
Christian graces ; and yet we fear that
It Is one of the rarest. We take a
large portion of our dally exercises as
a matter of course, and hardly think
of thanking God especially for them.

we take nil the credit of them, and
leave God quite out of the calculation.
For special deliverances we return
thanks to God, and seem to forget ut
terly that he has been tnklng enre of
us at all other times, when our eyes
discovered no danger. How muny of
us nwuke In the morning after riding
all night In u sleeping car, and espe
cially render thanks that the trnln
did not ihoot the track during the
hours of darkness? But If the train
had actually been pitched down nh
embankment, nnd we bad escaped un-
llmrt, we should throw ourselves down
' itn mil Irm.i.q nml nnnr out our thnnks
to God for n wonderful preservation.
Common, everyday services thnt pass
wholly unnoticed, deserve ns fervent
ia'i expression of gratitude ns nn es

poet that when God said "Whoso of
feretli praise glorlllctli me," ho had

souls who reeognlzo bis loving kind
ness every hour, nnd under every kind
of providences. A graceless sinner
might thank God nfler being dragged

and quietly review the past months..
Perhaps these months brought us
many trials, but they also brought us
many blessings. It Is the blessings we
