"Il's all right, mnrm!" he pleaded. "I'll auk him If hell see you, If you'll mly not lose your head. I didn't mean to put you outside, but orders whs rders. I'm only obeying orders, Harm. There ain't no need for them liysterlcs. Now now, mnrm!" He was still fighting madly when suddenly her strength seemed to leave lior. Clouts became aware of a spec tator of the combat. lie glanced side wise hastily, to see Idu standing be nldc him. "Whut Is she, Clouts?" whispered Ida. Clouts scratched his thick head. "I don't rightly know," he nnswered. "Itut It's all right, mnrm. I wus Just stroll ing along, casual like, when I met her. She ain't no friend of mine, inarm. Nor of the cnptuln's," he added, with sly ernshttsls. He turnp; the queen. "If you'll take my arm, marm, I'll take you a ways and nsk the captain If lie'll see you. I can't do no more," he muttered In an audible aside. "I've lone the best I knew how for the cap tain, and now he'll have to make his own excuses. And I can't leave n lady In this here place alone, with a',1 them going on and Juggllngs with the water like like I'hnraoh." Five minutes later the little middy, wonted on deck, saw Clouts nnd Ida, Apparently renrlscn from the dead, tip ronch the I". P.ctween them ho funded he saw n gossamer form that K'lntilhilrii in the sunlight. There was n space of only a hundred finces between them nnd the boat when suddenly the ocean appeared con mined. A wall of water bore down upon the flanks of Fair Island. It rolled toward the submarine, fifty feet lilgli, Its mighty crest upreared. "Itun!" shouted Pavles. It was a frantic race between the oncomers nnd the sea. They gained the submarine with hardly ten seconds to spnre. Iavies drew them aboard .and clnspcd the hatches down. Next Instant the boat was lifted bodily from I he beach and spun round like a top. CHAPTER XIV. The Unheeded Warning. On the evening of the same day Ixiixlon was stirred by. a sensation which eclipsed even the Interest in the progress of the war. The evening newspapers contained. In full, Donald's narration of the approaching ruin of the world. The second Ren lord, receiving Pen nld's name, came to the conclusion that tnatters of the most pressing moment must have brought the unknown young American nnvul officer. He rose from hl8 desk and shook hands with him cordially. "Sit down. Mr. Paget," he unld warmly. Then he noticed that I humid was dressed la a nondescript diving suit nnd that his looks were de cidedly wild. Donald sat down and plunged In stantly Into the story of the world danger. It did not lose Its dramatic .Interest In the manner of Its telling. "You must stop the war at once," Donald ended. "Unite nil nations of (he earth, for thnt Is the only wuy to save the human race. It Is a mntter of hours, perhaps. Even- now these monsters may be speeding southward." The second sen lord bad been unable o Interpose a word by reason of the torrent of Impassioned speech thnt poured from Donald's lips. At first he listened In nninzenient nt what he con sidered un impudent hoax; then In miger; then, after a brief glance at Donald's face, with absolute passivity. "I thank you, Mr. Paget," he Raid, rising, when Donald bnd ended. "You Imve done notable work, nnd England will not forget It. And now, sir, you must be conducted to the prime min ister nt once, thnt you may apprise M in of these stnrtllng events." He touched his bell, nnd his secre tary, a dapper, olert little mnn, nt once appeared. "Excuse me one moment, filcnse," snld the second sea lord to Donald. lie whispered with the secretary, whom Donnld perceived to glance toward him In a rather apprehensive manner. The secretary came forward, making a preposterously low bow. "I will conduct you to the prime min ister nt once, Mr. Paget," he snld. "No time must be lost. I am going to have n tnxlcab called." Donald nddressed the second sen lord again. "I understand," he snld, controlling himself with an effort of will. "Very well, my lord, I shall soy no more at this time. On you will rest the respon sibility. And you will repent this bit terly within a day or two." And he walked quietly out of the dice, leaving the second sea lord and the secretary staring nt each other. He was at tho bottom of the starway be fore thy !Ud recovered their self possession. Then the sea lord snatched tip his telephone. A curious hazo was creeping up from tho Thames, spreading perceptibly from corner t corner. It blotted out the redness of the evening clouds and bang overhead like a great, smoky pall. A newsboy rushed past," shout ing. Donald saw the content of the placard that swung beforo hlai. It mentioned series of local explosions which hud been occurring aloug the wttt connt ft" Eugland. Donald was trying to locr.te n hotel Ho groped his way from corner to corner, clinging to the railings of ureas and pillars of houses. Ho had reached some open space, which be Imagined to bo Trafalgar square, but It was lmposslhlo to cross. Carts, carriages, omnibuses, stalled by the fog, loomed up on every side. Horses jjtood snorting Invisibly, a few Inches nwny. Drivers struck out with their whips promiscuously. Men were shouting, women screaming. Panic had begun. All knew that this was not one of those rare blnck fogs that de scend upon London. Then It was that the new? of the man-monsters began to Biter through the crowd. A man announcing himself, through a megaphone, to be the police commis sioner, ordered all to remain Rtlll until stiir bombs could be Ret off. Nobody heeded him, and his efforts to stay the panic were unavailing. The mob hud begun to flow In one direction,, sweep ing all before It. Donald had been swept along 'with It, and then left, strnnded and Jammed by the human torrent. Into a small re cess. In front of him he felt a pnrupet. He tore himself nway and wus lost In the crowd. Donnld hoisted himself to the parapet, scrambled to the outer coping, and clung there. The shrieking in'oh rushed past nnd never touched hlin. Then there enme the sound of a mighty explosion, a long volume of re sounding thunder. It went rolling down the river like the discharge of u thousand cannon. And then, ns a flood from a hose pipe, n burst of wnter from the skies deluged the city. It boiled through the air with hissing lashes, ns If the por tals of the firmament wero broken open. The grinning fnce of the moon broke through the smoky pall. Sud denly the Btars appeared. And It was calm, clear weather. A ronr of relief seemed to go up from the throats of the multitude. And very slowly the trnllic began to resume its course again. Whnt had happened, as scientists nftorwnrd surmised, was this: The hy drogen, Increasing until It nttnlned n certain! chemical relationship to the oxygen of the ntmosphere, had explod ed where It was densest, on contact with lire, as in a lnborotory. Hut the explosion Instantly generated water as the two gases met. Hence followed the deluge. I'.nt ns yet the government was only dimly beginning -to understand thnt tills was some unknown natural force and not n contrivance of the enemy. They did not know until Donald pre sented himself In the office of the sec ond sea lord nt nine o'clock. The second sen lord grasped him by the hands. "There Isn't time to say Mnore than that I apologize," ho said. "The gov ernment has been searching for you since daylight. We've cabled Washing ton, nnd they have placed you nt our disposal. You nre the only mnn who can ndvise us, nnd the prime minis ter wants you Immediately. And that's no joke this time !" CHAPTER XV. The Battle of the Dogger. Within the nest three days n series of phenomenn occurred which left no doubt ns to the dangers which were menacing the human race. Iiefore noon messages began to pour in from nil pnrts of tho country nnd from the fleet. The admiral In com mand of the home squadron wired that a torpedo-boat destroyer had ap proached him under a flag of truce, with the singular statement that the ocean bad receded all along the I'.nltlc littoral, leaving a vast swamp of mud dy sand, In which ships were embed ded. The Zuydor Zee no longer exist ed. A spur of land extended from the dogger bank nenrly to Ostend. He pro posed a temporary armistice. I5y evening reports were telegraphed thnt nn army of the monsters had landed upon tho shores of Lincolnshire nnd Norfolk, had crossed t)ie Wash, which became first a swamp, then nn Inundation, nnd wns moving along the river beds townrd Cambridge, strip ping the hind of vegetation. liy nightfall nil communication be tween London and the eastern counties "You Must Stop This War at Once." had ceased. The telegraph poles were washed out of the sodden ground. The approach of the herd was measured by the haze. Already poultry nnd domestic nnl muls were being devoured. Thcro were reports thnt children had been seized from riverside houses. Tho docks, tho shores of Essex and the Thames estu ary were ubnndoned. The flats were n level Rtretch of water, above which tho steeples of the churches stood out as isolated landmarks. Everywhere tho war had been halted, by n short nrmlstlce. The governments of the civilized world devoted their whole attention to the consideration nnd solution of this new and stunning problem. In the meantime there had been n good deal of activity on Fulr Island. The tidal surge crented by the depar ture of the herd Roon subsided, break ing Into n choppy, turbulent sea. The F05, tossed nnd batterer she wus by the waves, nevertheless held ii. The locked rudder prevented her fion. Rubnierglng. Within tho messroom the queen of the swarm was housed securely. Sho was almost Invisible, and u$ at nil visible by daylight. A slier, phnntom figure, she created fear iwn awe In each of them. They did not know whnt her connection with th, swarm might he. They knew she, hu not human Intelligence. From his position upon tho highest point of Fulr island, MacBenid saw the swarm vanish at sea. He saw the F55 start In their wake, nnd threw up his hands nnd ruved. Coward us hn was, he could not let his lust hope slip from htm like that. Ho was the loneliest man in the world, as he had always been. Hut lie had not known It or cared. He had rebelled against the human race, lie wns the modern Cain; he bnd plotted the ruin of the world, over which he was to rule, godlike. Hut that was be fore he had set eyes upon Ma Ken nedy. The thought of her renewed his cour-. nge. He found his motorboat upon the shoreuninjured by the Inundation, Blnce the point of rock had ucted as a He Saw the F55 Start In Their Wake. breakwater and protected it. Within n few minutes he had filled his great gasoline reservoir with a supply sulii cient for several days, nnd set out in pursuit of the herd. He knew that he could easily outdistance the subma rine. Presently he came upon the mon sters. Their first wild dash had taken them In nil directions, so that little vupor had formed, but now they were beginning to congregate, and a wull of black cloud, rising in tho distance, In dicated their direction. The monsters made no effort to mo lest him, but they would not, nt first, heed his tuning fork. Later, however, he managed to assemble a small bodyguard about him. MacI!enrd pursued them down the east const of England. His bout, hid den In the cloud, remained undetected by the patrol vessels. It wa3 not until the second morning that ho guessed where the herd would make Its main rendezvous. i It was n simple deductive process, ' though nobody else had thought of it. It was tho Dogger bank, swurmlng with fish, which would provide the monsters with food. ; He believed that, once the first dash of the monsters wus over, they would obey his call again. And bis first sum mons proved successful beyond his ex pectations. Exhausted by their dash southward, numbers of the herd con- ' grcgated about the motorboat to the O sound, which wns perceptible to them for a much greater distance than the tone curried to the hnmnn ear. From within a radius of twenty miles a cloud rolled In upon the motorboat, until MacBeard, Invisible la the heart of Its blackness, 118e some arch-devil, controlled his devil crew. j This cloud was quickly seen by tho rcnr-ndnilrnl's patrol vessels, while It had this disadvantage It prevented MarBenrd from discovering the F55 ns she slipped past on her way south ward.

Henry VIII ns he did with everything he Bet his mind to Inter fered with the dress of his subjects to some purpose and brought forward an act against wcurlng costly apparel. A few years later the law became more stringent still. Philip and Mary compelled attention not only by fines, but went so fur ns to send offenders to prison. El!znbeth saw that the peo ple were reckless with their money, and caused an act to be passed which declared that anyone who sold foreign apparel to persons having less than 3,000 a year in land or tees, except for ready money, should forfeit every penny of the price. Ladles wore hoods, hats and caps of every conceivable shape. They were careful ns to their hair, and they had a One nssortment of wigs at hand. Eliz abeth herself sometimes wore red hair, and tlien reverted to , blnck for a change. It so happened that trade la the cap line fell off considerably be cause caps went out of fashion.

On'-e or twice Mrs. Mun- son had thrust her sharp nose into the room and had even asked Mr. Root If there was anything more he wished. Second helpings of anything being rare at the Munson table, Mr. Root's fellow boarders grinned appreciative iy when Selmn thudded heavily In with a second cupful of n muddy mixture, politely called coffee. "Expecting a valentine, Mr. Root?" asked mischievous Ethel Raymond, the little stenographer, who was to be married ut Easter. ; Mr. Root blushed furiously and look ed Into his coffee. "I am looking for an Important let ter," he said severely. "Valentines nre Important," tensed Ethel, for she liked the quiet little gray man who had been bookkeeper for twenty-flve years In a downtown warehouse. Mr. Root's bachelor quar ters at the top of the house had been spoken of as a model of comfort by the men of the Munson boarding house hut the women would hnve It that the little man must be lonesome, nnd among themselves they had secretly de cided that It would bo a fitting ro mance If Mr. Root mnrrled Miss Ida Wtngfield, the schoolteacher who sat at tho end of the table. Miss Wingfield, once pretty, now pale nnd tired, with rather n distin guished air lent by her abundant gray hair, always played Mr. Root's necom pnniments when he brought his violin down to the parlor. "There's the postman nowl" cried Ethel Raymond eagerly. A loud knock came nt the basement door and Scltua plodded slowly to take In the hondful of letters. Ida Wingfield picked up her valen tine, broke the seal with a reverent finger nnd pulled out a charming con coction of lace paper nnd golden henrts and flying cuptds. There were roses and forget-me-nots and arrows scat tered everywhere. "Ah I" breathed the excited table as Miss Wingfield ropluced It in tho en velope. "You nre satisfied, Mrs. Munson?" asked Mr. Root in a rasping tone. "I'd like to know who sent It," sniffed Mrs. Munson ns she went out and banged the door after her. "Impertinent Insufferable I" gasped old Mrs. Dodd, ns she followed the schoolteacher out into tho basement hall. "I wouldn't reinnln here a day longer only Mrs. Munson Is nn excel lent cook and ns nent as wax person ally she Is Impossible I" She pounded her gold-hcnded cane on the stairs as she mounted. , Idu Wingfield slipped into her warm cloak nnd went out Into the snowy Btrects. The wonderful valentine burned against her heart; she was con scious of its proximity all day. It took away the sting from the comic one she found in her desk, and It upheld her through a trying day with her pupils. Night found her coming home to the boarding house and her dull room with star-like eyes and flushed cheeks. She looked positively lovely. Romance was tot dead after all. . Mrs. Munson came Into the dining mm m lit in ! L , r tilL l--r t j r n I 1 l iyiy vaienunef i am - just tumeihrj o Lr- room with Importance written on hui sallow counienauce. "Miss Wingfield. I'm dreadfully sor ry but I'm afraid that valentine you got this morning Isn't for you, after all. Along about noon a lady came In from next door and snld that her name wns Wingfield and wanted to know if any in;.! rfir her hud been left here by mis take. Said her name wns Inez Wing field so I guess, maybe, that valentine was for her." Ma Wingfield suddenly looked 111; all the Unlit and color died out of her face. Slowly she took the envelope from her bosom nnd passed It to the hard-featured woman beside her. There was silence around the tublo for nn Instant. Then beforo Mrs. Mun son could move nwny Asa Root got up und held out his hand. "I will take that letter, if you please, Mrs. Munson. It belongs to Miss Wing field I know becnuso I sent it to her I "Perhaps Miss Wingfield will tell you that she Is going to marry me very "Valentines Are Important." soon," snld Mr. Root confidently, al though this wns not only news to him self but to Ida Wingfield as well. "Tell them are you, Ida?" whis pered Mr. Root eagerly. "Why yes of course I" murmured Miss Wingfield shyly, nnd that wns the only proposal of marriage that she re ceived from the bookkeeper ; "but when Easter dawned there were two wed dings from the Munson house and ono of the brides was Ida Wingfield. To My Old Valentine. In many a golden twilight of th year, Sweet Friend, across the miles that intervene, When sun and star the west incar nadine I think of you and wish that thought might go On thought's fleet wings to greet and tell you how Life's loneliness would vanish were you here. Friends long forgotten in the world's rough race Come lack sometimes in transient dreams to me. The dear, dead days like phantoms fliltingly Pass and the smile of greeting turns to tears; But your sweet presence through the changing years At my heart's hearthstone ever hold a place. TF. J. 8.

Are you all asleep thnt you never throw any one In these days?" asked a restaurant cook of the Olympla police force. "Tho past two months I hnve not had orders for enough meals at the city Jail to remem ber I had a city contract. In all my years In Olympln I never saw the like, and I've cooked mnny a meal In my time and mndo good money. Rut It's not even pennies for me now from you fellows. You're a bum bunch."

Once unnn a time before the war a Russian gentleman of grent Im portance wus dining with n Prussian gentleman similarly distinguished. As was usual on such occasions, wine and beer flowed nnd the guests became more and more unrestrained, much to l lie ellmrust of the Russian, who wns of a highly refined and Intellectual type and particularly , prejudiced gainst beer and the grossness which ill lends Its use. In n slate of hilarity the Prussian noured a creat glass of beer and pre sented It to his Russian guest, saying: "You must tMnpty this to the health of our kaiser." Tli" Russian took up nn Immense Joint of mutton from the table and, lay ing it noon the Prussian's plate, said: "You ovist eat tills to the health of our noble czar." "What!" cried the Prussian In aston ishment.' "Do yon think I am n wolf tint t could gorge myself on that enor mous Joint?" "Do you think," replied the Russian, "that I am n swine to pour that rot ten mess Into my stumach?" FROM HIGH AUTHORITY. In a form letter sent nut from the treasury department nt Washington, making suggestions lis to the sale of Liberty bonds, was this significant statement: "With the higher wages paid to workmen and with the larger returns to capital, the savings of the people, despite 'the high cost of living, have Increased enormously. The growth of prohibition has nlsn stimu lated thrift and helped materially tc Increase savings deposits." THE RUM RATION. Yes, we know that the pernicious practice of giving smnll doses- of rum to soldiers in the trenches has pre vailed In the Rrltlsh army. Also, we know that thousands of soldiers have been picked up out of shell craters in "No Mnn's Lund," deud because their power of resisting shock hnd been low ered by rum poisoning.
