They played for some time. The wizened-looking little man came and watched them benevolently, peering every now and then through his spec~ ladies, and applauding mildly any par. ticularly good stroke. At eleven o’clock they turned out the lights anrl made their way to their rooms. Short- ly before midnight, Granet, in his dressing-gown, stole softly across the passage and opened, without knocking, the door of a room opposite to him. The wizenedâ€"looking little man was seated upon the edge of the bed, half- dressed. Granet turned the key in the lock, stood for a moment listening and swung slowly around. “Well?” he exclaimed softly. The tenant of the room nodded. He had taken off his glasses and their ab- sence revealed a face of strong indi-l viduality. He spoke quietly but dis-’ tinctly. l “You have explored the house?" “As far as I could," Granet,replied. “The place is almost in a state of siege.” "Proves that we are on the right track, any way.

She descended reluctantly. “I hate to send you away," she it in silence. At five minutes past twelve, Granet shut his watch with a click. “Not to-night, then," he whispered. “Collins!” “Well?” . u. . . . u . . . bd Sighed, it seems so inhospitable.

He shook his head. “It isn't my secret,” he said, “and besides, I don’t think my friend has the patent for it yet." The sentry stood by and allowed lthem to pass, although he looked searchingly at Granet. They walked slowly up the scrubby avenue to the house. Once Granct paused to look down at the long arm of the sea on his left. The little man dropped his voice. . “Germany lost two submarines in one day," he murmured. “The device which got them came from that little workshop of Worth’s.

She clutched for a moment at Granet’s arm. An elderly man, dressed in sombre black clothes disgracefully dusty, collarless, with a mass of white hair blown all over his face, was walk- ing.up and down the hall with a great pair of horn-rimmed spectacles clutch- ed in his hand. He stopped short at the sound of the opening door and hurried towards them. There was no- thing about his appearance in the least terrifying. He seemed, in fact bubbling over with humor. “Isabel, my dear,” he exclaimed, “it is wonderful! I have succeeded! I have changed the principles of a life- time, made the most brilliant optical experiment which any man of science has ever ventured to essay, with the resultâ€"well, you shall see. I have wired to the Admiralty, wired for more work-people. Captain Chalmers, is it not?” he went on. “You must tell your men to double and redouble their energies. This place is worth watching now. Come, I will show you something amazing.” He turned and led them‘ hastily to- wards the back door. Isabel gripped Granet’s arm. “He thinks you are the officer in command of the platoon here,” she whispered. “Better let him go on thinking so.” Granet nodded. “Is he going to take us to the work- shop?” “I believe so," she assented. They had hard work to keep up with Sir Meyville as he led them hasâ€" tily down the little stretch of shining shingle to where a man was sitting in a boat. They all jumped in. The man with the oars looked doubtfully for a moment at Granet, but pulled off at once when ordered to do so. They rowed round to the front of the queer little structure. A man from inside held out his hand and helped them up. Another young man, with books piled on the floor by his side, was making some calculations at a table. Almost saw some workmen pull down the match-boarding, but I couldn’t make out what the structure was.” “I can give you an idea," Collins “This fellow Worth has got hold of some system of concentric lenses, with extraordinary reflectors which enable him to see distinctly at least thirty feet under water. Then they have a recording instrument, ac- cording to which they alter the grad- ient of a new gun, with shells that explode under water. Von Lowitz was on the track of something of this sort last year, but he gave it up chiefly be- cause Krupps wouldn’t guarantee him a shell.” “Krupps gave it up a little too soon, then,” Granet muttered. “Collins, if we canit smash up this little estab- lishment there'll be a dozen destroyers before long rigged up with this in- fernal contrivanee.” The little man stood before the win- dow and gazed steadfastly out sea- wards. “They'll be here this week," he said confidently. “You'd better go now, Granet. It’s all over for to-night.” Granet nodded and left the room quietly. Every one in the Dormy House was sound asleep. He made his way back to his own apartment with- out difficulty. Only tl.e little man re- mained seated at the window, with his eyes fixed upon the bank of murky clouds which lowered over the sea. 7 excited good- CHAPTER XX. Isabel Worth leaned back in the comfortable seat by Granet‘s side and breathed a little sigh of content. She had enjoyed her luncheon party a deux, their stroll along the sands afterwards, and she was full preparedl to enjoy this short drive homewards. “What a wonderful car yours isl”i she murmured. “But do tell meâ€"what on earth have you got in behind?” “It’s just a little experimental in- vention of a friend of mine,” he ex- plained. “Some day we are going to try it on one of these creeks.

It is deplorable to think of armored ships filled with armed men and their accountrement, sailing to distant places to kill other men, burn their houses and ravage their lands, when the white harvest fields of peace cry out for the ingathering. It is be- coming more difficulty to persuade men as public education grows in all the lands, that there is glory to be gained and honor to be won in spray- ing the soil with the bullets from maâ€" chine guns where it should be sown with wheat. .O~_â€"s a New World and Old. Map makers are having a busy time in these days of everchanging boun- daries. Europe has re-grouped itself, and the old map of our schooldays is wrong from top to bottom. But what tremendous changes have comparatively short time in the his- tory of the world. The Roman's map of the world was the Middle Seaâ€"the Mediterraneanâ€"and the lands washed by its waves. To sail out of the Straits of Gibraltarâ€"the Pillars of Herculesmwas as great an adventure as being shot in a rocket to Mars would be to-day! For another thousand years, after the decline of Rome, very little pro~ gress was made. India. was a sort of fairyland, Chinaâ€"or Cathayâ€"might have been in the moon, Russia and Si- beria were wholly out of bounds, America was not dreamed of, Australia had never been heard of, no European ship had ever sailed on the Pacific ocean. Then, quite suddenly, came the age of exploration. The Spanish and Portuguese navigators, followed by-tlie great English adventurers, doubled the world's land area for the map- niakers. But even then the maps were fearful and wonderful. America was a piece of guess work. Even Europe part of Africa the same. Even Europe looked like nothing on earth, and where they were at a loss they drew fabulous beasts and birds to fill up the spaces. â€"__. 9 A Toothless Race in India. Toothless babies are familiar. W'e make allowance for their edentate ap- pearance because we know that they really do possess teeth, almost ready to sprout. If a child were never to develop any teeth at all, and to remain through life what scientists would call an “ano- dont," how unpleasant it would be! That is exactly what happens in the case of a. type of men native to a town called Hyderabad Sind, in India. They are Hindus, always have remarkany bald heads and are toothless through life. These men are known as Bhudas, which means "toothless." Their wo- men, oddiy enough, always have a nor- mal equipment of teeth. Toothlessâ€" mess is exclusively a male trait among them. “'lien 21 Bliudzi man marries a girl whose parents are both free from the defect, all of the children i‘esultiiig‘ from the mating are properly provided with teeth. But when the (laughter of, a lihuda marries o norm-.11 man their' female children are normal, while the l sons are toothless. taken place in the Christian Era. a‘ mediately. An aerial week-end fire prevention patrol has been instituted by the Bri- tish Columbia government to protect. valuable timber on Vancouver Island and along the coast. The patrol will cover an area on the mainland for the province and Vancouver Island be- tween three hundred and four hundred miles long. Oil claims have been staked along the Mackenzie River right up to the Arctic Circle. The staking extends from a point several miles south of' Fort Norman, which is 1,500 miles north of Edmonton, to another point within some fifty miles of Good Hope, a post just sixteen miles south of the Arctic Circle. The total distance of' the oil staking along the Mackenzie River in this territory is now approxi- mately 150 miles, though not con- tinued over this entire length. Saskatchewan coâ€"operative market- ing societies had an increase of $1,- 125,103 in the amount of business handled last year, compared with the- turnover in 1919. The membership was increased by 646, making the total at the end of the year of 18,894. The paid-up capital invested increased from $362,251 to $466,009. Fifty-four societies marketing livestock shipped 912 carloads and received therefor $1,- 529,309. The value of supplies sold was $5,885,385. The total business- ’handled amounted to $7,314,695. Paying for an irrigation system in one year is the unique experience of' the Taber project, comprising 17,000 acres, in Alberta, just east of the ir- rigated area operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. It cost sixteen dol- lars an acre to build the ditches and laterals and conservative estimates of the average yield on the 13,000 acres under crop are twenty bushels to the acre, as against eight bushels on the dry land adjoining. This is the first. year that the Taber project has been in operation. The Financial Times, Winnipeg, in its latest survey of Western Canadian crop conditions, states that the wheat yield this year should be the most valuable the West has ever produced, worth at least half a billion dollars. :Oâ€"â€"â€"â€"_.
