In the early morning the crowds
which spent most of the night at the
bulletin-board were gathering again.
At no time had the place been entire-
ly deserted. Several men had never
been out of eyeshot of the bulletins.
One of them, a shock-headed youth in
overalls and wearing the cap of a
government electrician, sat on the
stone curbing by the entrance to the
power station, smoking a small black
pipe, seemingly more oceupied with
meditation than observation,
Most of the men who were now gath-
ering about the board, were coal miners
on their way to the shafts. Here and
there were electricians. The vastness
of the power station from which they
had come, was no more than suggested
from where the crowd stood, the build-
ings being partially hid in a grove of
trees.
The groups of miners and electric
ians were almost silent, They seemed
to have exhausted comment and sur-
mise, and to be waiting for the tangible
to take place of conjecture.
On the Verge of War.
In Washington the federal news edi-
tor apparently had worn out himself
and his staff in keeping up a detailed
account of the all-night session of Con-
gress, As daylight came, the service
wabbled, and what had been a con-
nected, well-sustained story of congres-
sional proceedings had slumped to a
series of jerky bulletins of which the
Jast had come a half-hour before, read-
ng:
“Williams still has the floor, He is
making no headway against the major-
ity. War geems inevitable.”
To the men starting for the shafts,
this carried no news which they had
no known before they had gone away,
a few hours earlier, to get such sleep
and rest as they could.
While they stood watching, another
bulletin came:
“Congress has taken an hour's re-
cess for breakfast, No action,”
The coal miners in the crowd read
this, and then started for work, Soon

the young electrician was standing be-

sidewise inquiringly.

“I want a two weeks’ leave of absence.”
The elder then looked squarely at
him but did net reply, merely brushing
back his hair in an abstracted, pre-
occupied manner. The young man,
waited for an answer without repeating
his petition.
“Go back to work,” said Shod, finally,
seeming to dismiss the request as pre-
posterous. He had started to speak
calmly, but his manner changed, and
he brought his fist down on the desk
as he added sharply:
“Atsing, you make me think your
crazy. Haven't you read the bulletins?
Look here—a message trom the chief,
‘We expect vou to run double capacity
from the instant war is declared.’
Leave of absence! Man, go back to
work.”
Atsins became confused and awk-
wardly abashed; but he persisted,
nevertheless, urging great necegsity,
“If you even ask again,” cried Shod,
becoming thoroughly angry, “I'll have
you locked up for attempting deser-
tion,”
Daring Plan Explained.
He wheeled around in his chair, and
busied himself with the wires leading
off the keyboard on his desk. Atsins
hesitated an instant, and then suddenly
lost his awkwardness and became alert.
He bent over his senior, speaking rapid-
ly, energetically, and sharply. He drew
rom the inner pocket of his blouse a
print, spreading it before Shod. The
anger of the older man gave way to
astonishment, He wag held spell-
bound by the younger’s vehement ex-
planation, until finally Atsins ceased
talking, folded up his print, returned it
to his pocket, and stood waiting.
Shod contemplated him silently for
several moments. Then he said:

Mail by Airship.
A speck developed in the eastern sky
and drew nearer, enlarging rapidly.
Then the Washington mail came into
sight, and landed at the areoplane sta-
tion near the entrance to the power
station, A mail clerk came down the
elevator after the sacks had been
thrown into the chute. He was ques-
tioned eagerly by the men still stand-
ing about the bulletin board, but had
nothing of news later than that which
the bulletins had given them.
As he stood talking, another message
was flashed on the board:
“williams says that opposition to
the majority will cease, War will be
declared before night,”
At that the shoek-headed youth arose
suddenly from the curbstone, walked
rapidly through the gates and on into
the grounds of the power station,
Vast Central Power Station.
The Susquehanna Coal and Power
District, supplying not only Washing
ton, but New York with electricity for
all purposes of light, heat, and power,
was the largest of the government
power areas into which the country
was divided, Its coal mines were of
the greatest extent, its power station
gigantic, and its employees an army.
New York with its millions, and Wash.
ington with its institutions, secured all
power from the wires charged by the
dynamos of the Susquehanna District,
The ghock-headed electrician kept his
rapid stride through the grounds until
he came to a one-story brick building
marked over its doorway, with the
word ®*Administration,” It was sur-
rounded by beds of sweet-peas, which
a gardner then was watering, The
young man went up the graveled walk
without looking to right or left, pushed
open the door, went the length of the
inner hall, turned to the right, and
knocked at a closed sor.

II.
In the early history of the nation
there had been a much applauded
maxim: “In time of pcace, prepare for
war” ‘The people had never deviated
from their policy of applauding and
ignoring this wisdom of one of their
earliest statesmen. The nation had
never lost its complacency—had never
succeeded in disillusioning itself. It
imagined itself peaceful, but in reality,
it was quickest to resent an injury,
to carry it on.

product of incompetence urged into
action by rashness.
In all this unprepared country, no
one appreciated so thoroughly the im-
pending danger as did Montrus, the un-
ortunate commander-in-chief of the
small military forces.
Commander in Despair.
He had heen dean of the Department
of electricity in the national univer.
sity, when transferred to the military
service, having, prior to this been an
instructor in one of the national mili-
tary schools. In appearance he was
scholastic, his figure spare and bent,
his hair and eyes gray, and his face
ain-jowled.
He wag alone in his office, looking
out of the window across the Potomac
-—the only inactive figure in the War
Department—when one of hig aides en-
ered the room.
“Curtis had been located,” said the
qide. “He is at Kiel. We got his sig-
nal followed by some code which is
being transcribed.”
Another aide came in.
“Curtis says he is effectually hidden,
and can send electrigraphs if we can
ake them,”
: “Where is he?” asked Montrus eager-
y.
Scouting the Upper Air,
“He says he is out of the path of
their scouts, and thinks he is safely
posted. He must be above them.”
“Can you reach him?"
“We have, but he warns us not to
try often. I suppose his position is
precarious at best,”
“Tell him to send wkat he can,” an-
swered Montrus. “I'll go into the
tower to take it.”

to give us ten times the usual power

The men started to obey, and Atsins
to follow his guides, when Montrus
stepped to him, holding out his hands,
“I hope you succeed,” he said.
“I—I can't fall,” stammered the
young man.

Montus and his aides hastened, being
carried directly to the summit by a Tite, |
While the aides adjusted the films}
and reflector of the electro-photogra-
pher, Montrus stood at the railing look-}
ing out over the peaceful river scene!
and drumming hig fingers on the wood- |
en bars.
“I think it is coming,” said one of
of the aides finally; and the general
stepped over to adjust about his head
the hood which shut all light from
the eyes looking at the reflector.
Looking Across the Ocean.
At first this remained in black and
inky darkness. Then came little waves
of dim light which rippled across its
surface. These ripples became strong-
er; indistinct shapes, unrecognizable

depths. They cleared away, and there
grew up in their place the forms of a
city’s roofs and towers, which stood
revealed in®iistinct outlines for a mo-
ment and t{%n seemed to drop further
and further down into the reflector.
White, fleecy clouds came between |
the eye and the city’s roofs, the lat-
ter growing less and less distinet,
There was a sweep of a dark object
athwart the clouds. It crossed the en-
tire reflector, blotting it out in black-
ness again, but light followed almost
instantly. Again nothing but the white
clouds, but finally a far-off flock of
specks, which came nearer and nearer
until they stood out each distinctly and
separately, clear-cut in outline and
identity. There they stood.
Aerial Torpedo Boats.
Montrus almost held hig breath as he
ran his eyes over them. For ten min-
utes he studied. Then he drew the
hood from his head, and looked out
over the river scene again,
“A hundred, I should say,” he re-
marked at last, quietly, but in great
bitterness. “Every one ready. In
twenty-four hours from the time those
awful fools in Congress declare war,
those hundred torpedo ships will be
here. Tell Curtis we've seen enough,”
With that he went back to his office,
and in moodiness took his post by the
window again. Nothing he could plan
could avert the calamity he had seen
in readiness, Presently one of the
aides came in again,
“A government electrician is out-
side,” he announced, ‘“and insists on
seeing you. We have done everything
to get rid of him but throw him off the
grounds.”
The man stopped and waited expect-
antly.
“Tell him—" said Montrus angrily,
but stopred. “Let him in,” he con-
cluded, sullenly.
Young Inventor to the Rescue.
The aide went out and came back
with the shock-headed electrician who
had spent the night before by the bulle-
tin-board. His embarrassment was
great, but his earnestness equalled it.
The former showed in his awkward
posture and twitching fingers; the lat-
ter, in the direct look with which he
sought the general's eyes.
“Well,” exclaimed Montrus, sharply.
“I have a concen.rator—I want you
to look at it—I thought—,” he began
excitedly, but ended brokenly in the
face of a cold stare from Montrus.
“Here it is,” he concluded, unfolding
the prints.
Montrus cast one careless and a
second interested glance at the plans.
He drew up a chair and studied them,
the moodiness giving away to keen ap-
preciation. Then he pushed them
away.
“You seem to have something,” he
said. “Some other time-—, if there's
anything left of this country, some
other time I'll look at them. But not
now, I ean't now.”

“But you don’t understand,” ex-
claimed Atsins, quickly and vehement:

That will direct a milllon volts—two
million volts—accurately, to any dis.
tance, at any object. Man, if it works,
if it will do it—don’t you see?”
Montrus stared at the shock-headed
boy in a daze.
Atging held himself in check and
- | leaned forward.
“Will the ships at Kiel ever leave
thelr moorings if it works?” he asked,
drawing in his breath sharply. The
-|two men looked at each other, and, as
Montrus stared, he saw also in his
mental vision those hundred dark

Another post filled by women on
board the Norwegian mail steamers is
that of “postal official.” Two of these
young ladies always travel together,
| their sole duty consisting in carrying
| the mail bags to and from the points
| of embarkation and arrival, During
| the voyage, the time of these girls is
practically their own, and they gener-
| ally may be seen employing it in pro-
ducing those much-admired “Hosfilds
foernings”—the beautiful Norwegian
embroideries to be met with in such
rich profusion throughout the Scandin-
avian lands. These “post ladies,” how-
ever, never allow their elaborate needle
work to jeopardize their official posi

before the landing-stage is reached,
both may be seen cloaked and hatted,
standing, as it were, at attention, By
