calmed down and took It out In enter-
ing it in hi3 daily record He was
quite proud of that daily record and
remembered to write in it on an aver
ago of once a week
Then the chest went wrong Wheth-
er it had rusted a bit or whether the
chomicals had got in their work on the
hinges I dont know but one day the
professor of his own initiative recog-
nized rny existence by lugging his box
out in the open and asking me to fix
it Pieviously be had emptied it It
was rather a complicated thing with
an Inner compartment over w hich was
a hollow cover opening along one rim
That I conjectured was designed to
hold some chemical compound or salt
There werejnany minor openings too
each guarded uy a similar hollow door
My business was with the heavy top
cover
It should shut and open softly
gently explained the professor So
Kot withagratlngsoundto beaccoin
panied he added with his curious ef-
fect of linked phraseology
Half a days work fixed It The lid
would stand open of itself until tipped
at a considerable angle w hen it would
fall and lock Only on the outer shell
was there a lock That one was a good
bit of craftsmanship
So Percy my boy said the doc-
tor kindly that will with sufficient
safety guard our treasure When we
obtain it Percy When It entirely fin-
ished and completed shall be
And when will that be I asked
God knows he said cheerfully It
progi esses
Whenever I went strolling at night
he would produce his curious lights
yAtt Jil
About his waist flickered a sort of aui a
of radiance
Sometimes they wore fairly startling
One fact I made out by accident look-
ing down from a high place They did
not project from the laboratory He
always worked in the open when the
light was to be produced Once the ex-
periment took a serious turn The
lights had flickered and gone Dr
Schermerhorn had returned to his lab-
oratory I came up the arroyo as he
flung the door open and rushed out
He was a grotesque figure clad in an
undershirt and a worn pair of trou
cers fastened with an old bit of tacred
rope In lieu of his suspenders which I
had been repairing About his waist
flickered a sort of aura of radiance
which was extinguished as he flung
himself headforemost into the cold
spring I hauled him out He seemed
dazed To my questions he replied on-
ly by mumblings the burden of which
was
I do not understand It is a not to
be comprehended accident It appears
that he didnt quite know why he had
taken to the water or if he did he
didnt want to tell
Next day he was as good as new
Just as silent as before but it was a
smiling satisfied silence So it went
for weeks for months with the ac-
cesses of depression and auger always
rarer Then came an afternoon when
returning from a stalk after sheep I
hoard strange and shocking noises
from the laboratory Strict as was the
embargo which kept me outside the
door I burst in only to be seized in a
suffocating grip 6f n sudden I real-
ized that I was being embraced The
doctor flourished a hand above my head
and jigged with ponderous steps The
dismal noises continued to emanate
from his mouth He was singing I
wish I could give you a notion of the
amazement the paralyzing wonder with
which No you did not know Dr
Schermerhorn You would not under-
stand
We polkaed into the open There
he cast me loose He stopped singing
and burst Into a rhapsody of disjoint-
ed words Mostly German It was a
wondrous jumble of the scientific and
poetic Eureka occurred at Intervals
Then he would leap In the air It was
weird it was distressing Crazy Oh
quite For the time you understand
If any of usshould suddenly become
the most potent Individual in the
world wouldnt he be apt to lose bal-
ance temporarily One must make al-
lowances There was excuse for the
doctor He had reached the goal

<
I said Id like a vacation If con-
venient
Presently he replied There yet
remains the guardianship to be per-
fected Then to a world astonished
and respectful we return Tonight we
celebrate I play you a rubber of pin-
ochle
We plajed With the greatest se-
cret of science resting at our elbows
we played The doctor won My
mind was not strictly on the game
In the morning the doctor sang once
more I shall never hear its like again
Was it a week or a month after that
I cannot remember I fancy I was ex-
cited Then too there was something
In the atmosphere about the laboratory
I dont know imagination possibly
Once we had a little manifestation
the night that the nigger and Slade
were terrified by the rock fires Days
of excitement and pleasant woik with
the little valcano grumbling more sulk
ilyJll the time I have spent worse
da
Such indifference as the doctor dis-
played toward the volcino I kav e nev-
er known If I ventured to wain him
he would assuic me thattheie was uo
cause for alaim I think he legaided
that little hells kitchen as merely a
feed spout for his vast enteiprise He
felt a sort of affection toward it He
was tolcranfof Its petty fits of temper
That he completed his work before tho
destruction came was sheer luck
nothing else The day befoie the out
buist he came to me with a tiny vial
of complicated design
Peicy I will at a reasonable price
sell this to you ho said
How much I Inquired respond-
ing to his playfulness
A bargain he cried gaily Five
millions dollars No Shall I upon a
needy friend hard press Never One
million One little million dollais
T havent that amount w ith me I
began
Of no account he declared airily
Soon we shall haf many moie times
as that Gif me your C O D
My I O T I inquired
It makes no matter See I will
gif it to you gratis
He handed me the metal contri-
vance It was closed
Inside Iss a little such a vory lit
tle Not yet iss It arranged the motive
power to give forth One more change
to be made that shall require But the
other phenomena areall In this little
half grain comprised Later I shall
tell you more Take it It Iss without
price He laid his hand on my shoul-
der Like the love of friends he said
gently t
Feeling in his upper waistcoat pock
et Dariow pi ought out a vial so tiny
that it rolled in the palm of his hand
He contemplated it lost in thought
Radium queried Barnett with the
keen inteiest of the scientist
God knows what it is said Dar
row rousing himself Not the per
fected product The doctor said that
when he gave it to me If I could re-
member onetenth of what he told me
thatnight It is like a disordered dream
a phantasmagoria of monstrous pow
ers lit up with an intolerable almost
an infernal radiance This much I did
gather that Dr Schermerhorn had
achieved what the gieatest minds be-
fore him had barely outlined Yes
and more Becquerel the Curies
Rutherford they were playing with
tho letteis of the Greek alphabet Al
phas Gammas and Rhos while the
simple gentle old boy that I served
had read the secret From the molten
eruptions of the racked eaith he had
taken gases and potencies that are
nameless By what methods of combi-
nation and refining I do not know he
produced something that was to be the
final word of power Control control
that was all that lacked
Reduced to its simplest terms it
meant this The doctor had something
as much greater than radium as radi-
um is greater than the pitchblende
of which a thousand tons are melted
down to the one ounce of extract And
the incredible energies of this he pro-
posed to divide into departments of ac-
tivity One manifestation should be
light a light that would illuminate
the world Another was to make mo-
tive power so cheap that the woik of
the world could be done in an hour out
of the day Some idea he had of heal-
ing properties Yes He was to cure
mankind or kill kill as no man had
ever klllod did ho choose The armies
and navies of tho powers would be-
at his mercy Magnetism was to be
his slave Aerial navigation transmu-
tation of metals the screening of grav-
ity does this sound like deliiium
Sometimes I think it was
That night ho turned over to me the
key of the large chest and his ledger
The latter he bade me read It was
a complete jumble You have seen it
We were up a good part of the night
with our pet volcano It was suffer-
ing from internal distuibances So
the doctor would say indulgently
when a partlculaily active rock came
bounding down our way Little play
antlcstoexhiblt now that the work iss
finished
In the morning he insisted on my
leaving him alone and going down to
give the orders I took tho ledger in-
tending to send it aboa W It saved
my lifo possibly Solomons bullet de-
flected slightly I think in passing
thiough the heay paper Slade has
told you about my flight I ought to
have gone straight up the arroyo yet-
I could hardly have made it I did not
see him again the doctor My last
glimpse the old man I remember now
how the gray had spread through nte
beard he was growing old it had
been aging labor He stood there at
his laboratory door and the mountain
spouted and thundered behind
We will a name to suit properly
gif it he said as I left him It shall
tnake us as the gods We will call it
eelestium
I left him there smiling smiling
happily The greatest force of his age

CHAPTER XXXV
OTHING remained but to
search for his body I was
sure they had killed him and
taken the cjiest I had little
expectation of finding him dead or
alive None after I saw the stream of
lava pouting into the s > ea One saves
his own life by instinct I suppose
There I was I had to live It did
not matter much but Ijcontinued to do
it by vailous shifts That last day on
the headland the fumes neaily got me
You may have noted the rather excited
scrawl in the back of the ledger Yes
I thought I was gone that time but I
got to the cave It was low tide Then
the eaithquake and I was walled in
Mr Barnetts very accurateoxplosives
Slades insistence your risking your
lives as you did mites on the crust of
a redhot cheese I hope you know how
I feel about It all One cant thank a
man properly f or the life
Oh the pirates Necessailly itinust
be a matter of theory but I think we
have it light Slade and I built it up
For what its worth here it is Let mo
see you sighted the glow on the night
of the 2d Next day came the desert-
ed ship It must have puzzled you
outrageously
It did said Captain Parkinson
dryly
Not an easy problem even with all
the data at hand You of course had
none On Slades showing Handy Sol-
omon and his worthy associates thought
they had a chest full5 of riches w hen
they got the doctors tieasure be-
lieved they owned the machinery for
making diamonds or gold or what not
of leady to hand wealth Its fair to
assume a certain eagerness on their
part Disturbed weather keeps them
busy until theyre well out from the
island Then to the chest Opening
it isnt soeasy I had the key you
know He brought a curious and
delicately wrought skeleton fiom his
pocket Tipped with platinum he
observed Rather a gem of a key I
think You see thero rnust have been
some action even through the kejkole
or he wouldnt ha e used a metal of
this kind But the crew was rich In
certain qualities it seems which I
failed stupidly to recognize in my ac-
quaintance with them Both Pulz and
Pcrdosa appear to hae been handy-
men where locks w ere concerned FIi st
Pulz sneaks down and has his turn at
the chest He gets it open Small
profit for him in that The next we
know of him he is scandalizing Handy
Solomon by ha ing a fit on the deck
That is what I couldnt figufe out
to save my life said Slade eagerly
If yourecollect I told you of the
professors plunge in the cold spring
in a sort of paroxysm one day said
Darrow That was the physiological
action of the eelestium At other
times I have seen him come out and
deliberately roll in the creek head un-
der Once he explained that the me
dium he worked in caused a kind of
uncontrollable longing for water some
thing having none of the qualities of
burning or thirst but an irresistible
temporary mania It worried him a
good deal He didnt understand It
That then was what ailed Pulz
Wheu he openedsthe chest there was
as I surmise a trifling quantity of
this stuff lying in the inner lid It
wasnt the eelestium itself as I im
agine but a sort of byproduct with the
physiological and radiant effects of the
real thing and it had been set there-
on guard a discouragement to the
spirit of investigation as it were So
when the top was lifted our little
guardian gets in its woik producing
the light phenomenon that so puzzled
Slade and inspiring Pulz with a pas-
sion for the rolling wave which is only
interrupted by Handy Solomons tac
kling him As he fled he must have
pulled down tho cover
nc did said Slade I heaul the
clang But I saw the radiance on the
clouds and the whole thickness of a
solid oak deck was in between the sky
and the chest
Oh a little thing like an oak deck
wouldnt interrupt the kind of raj s the
doctor used He had his own method
of scieening you understand How
ever this inconsiderable guaidian af
fair must have used itself up which
true eelestium wouldnt have done
So when Perdosa sets his genius for
lock picking to the task the inner box
full of the genuine article has no
warning signpost so to speak Every
things peaceful until they raise the
compound filled hollow layer of the in-
ner cover which serves to intenupt
the action Then comes the general
exit and the supenor ilievvoiks
Thats when the lavs ran thiough
the ship said Slade It seemed to
follow the deck lines
The stuff had a strange affinity for
tar said Danow I told jou of the
circle of hie about Professor Scheimer
homs waist the day he gave me such
a seaie That was the eelestiuni woik
ing on the tarred rope he vvoie for a
belt It made a livid circle on his
skin Did I tell jou of his epeii
ments with pitch It doesnt matter
Where was I
At the place wheie we all jumped
said Slade
Oh jes And you dove into the
small boat trjing to reach the wa-
ter
Wait a bit said Barnett If that
was the exhibition of radiance we
saw it died out in a few minutes
How was that Did they close the
chest befoie thej ran
Piobably not icphed Darrow
Slade spoke of Pulz taking to the
maintop and being shaken out by the
sudden shock of a wave That may
have been a volcanic billow What-
ever it was it undoubtedly heeled the
ship sufficiently to biing down both
lids which were rather delicately bal-
anced

Yes for Billy Edwards found the
chest closed and locked said Barnett
Of course It was a spring lock
You sent Mr Edwards and his men
aboard No such experts as Pulz or
Perdosa were IrT your crew Conse-
quently It took longer to get the chest
open When at length the lid wa3
raised there was a repetition of the
tragedy Mr Edwards and his men
leaped Probably they were paralyzed
almost before they struck the water
Your bosn whom Slade picked up
was the only one who had time even
to grab a life preserver before the Im-
pulse toward water became irresisti-
ble There was no element of fright
you understand no desertion of their
post Thej wera dragged as by tha
sweep of a tornado Darrow spoke
direct to Captain Parkinson If there
is any feeling among you other than
sorrow for their death It is unjust
and unworthy
Thank you Mr Darrow returned
the captain quietly
We found the chest closed again
when the empty ship came back ob-
served Barnett
Being masterless the schooner be-
gan to jaw continued Darrow The
first time she came about would have
heeled her enough to shut the chest
Now came the turn of j our other men
Ives and McGuIre said the captain
as Darrow paused
The glow came again that night and
the next day we picked up Slade said
Bamett
You know what the glow meant for
your companions said arrow
But the ship The Laughing Lass
man Shes vanished No one has
seen her since
You are wrong there said Darrow
I have seen her
In a common impulse the little circle
leaned to him
Yes I have seen her I w ish I had
not Let me bring my story back to
the cave on the island After the vol-
canic gases had driven me to the ref-
uge I sat near the mouth of the cave
looking out into the darkness Thai
was the night of the 7th the night you
saw the last glow It was very dark
except for occasional bursts of fire
from tho crater Judge of my in-
credulous amazement when in an ac-
cess of this illumination I saw plainly
a schooner hardly a mile offshore com-
ing in under baie poles
Under bare poles cried Slade
The halliards must have disinte-
grated fiom some slow action of the
eelestium It could be destiuctive ter-
rifically destructive You shall judge
There was the schooner naked as j our
hand Possibly I might have thought it
a hallucination but for what came aft
er Daikness fell again I supposed
then that Handy Solomons crew
were managing or mismanaging the
Laughing Lass without the aid of their
leader whom I had satisfactorily bur
ied I hoped they would come ashore
on the rocks Yes I was vengeful then
Of a sudden there sprang from the
darkness a ship of light You have all
seen those great electric effects at ex
positions Some one touches a button
you know It was like that only that
the piercingly brilliant jeweled wonder
of a ship was set in the midst of a
swirl of varicolored radiance such as I
cant begin to describe You saw it
from a distance Imagine what it was
coming close upon you that way dead
on out of the night a living glory a
liv ing terror
His voice sank With a shakin
hand he fumbled amid his cigaiette
papers
It came on A human figure glow
ing like a diamond ablaze leaped out
from it another shot down fiom the
Tic little ciat dissolved in a gloio of
radiance
foiemast I dont know how manj I
saw go It was like a theatric effect
unreal unconvincing incredible The
end fitted it
Dairows eye roved It fell upon a
quaintly modeled ship hung above the
doorWhats
Whats that he cried
Fool thing some Malaj gave me
grunted Tielidon Pretended to be
grateful because I cut his foot off No
good Go on with the storj
No good You dont care what hap-
pens to it
Meant to hoave it overboard befoie
now glow led the other
Some one handed it down to Darrow
If I had something tff hold enough
water muttered he Id like to float
It Id like to see for myself how it
woiked out Id like to see that devil
workin action
He spoke feverishly
Boy fill the portable rubber tub in
Mr Forsythes cabin and bring it
here ordered the captain

A woman always likes to fix up
things to eat that c > in be served on
a tray
That will do said Darrow recov-
ering himself o
He floated the model in the tub
Now I dont know how this will
come out he said Nor do I know
whj the Laughing Lass met her fate
under Ives and McGulre and not be-
fore Perhaps the chest lay open lon-
ger long enough anyway Well try
it
From his pocket he took a curious
small vial
Is that what Dr Schermerhorn
gave you asked Slade
Yes said Darrow He set it care-
fully inside tho little model and slip-
ped a lever Slade quietly turned
down the light
A faint glow shot up It grew bright
and eddied in lovely variant colors
As if set to a powder train it ran
through the ship The pale faces ot
the spectators shone ghastly 4n Its ra-
diance From some one burst a sud-
den gasp
There is not enough for danger
said Darrow quietly
As a point of interest grunted
Trendon
Every one looked at his outstretched
hand A little pocket compass lay In
the palm The needle spun madly
projecting blue vivid sparklings
My God cried Slade and covered
his eyes for a moment
He snatched away his hands as a
suppressed cry went up from the oth-
ers
As I expected said Darrow quietly
The little craft opened out It dis-
integrated All that radiance dissolved
and with its going the substance upon
which it shaped itself vanished Tho
last glow showed a formless pulp
spreading uppn the water
So passed the Laughing Lass said
Darrow solemnly
s JAud the chest is at the bottom of
the sea said Barnett
Good place for it muttered Tren
don
In all probability it closed as the
ship dissolved around it said Darrow
Otherwise we should see the effects
in the water
It might be recovered cried Slade
excitedly Could you chart it Dar
row Think of the possibilities
Let it lie salcLtho captain Has
it not cost enough Let it lie
The water in the tub fumed and
sparkled faintly and was still Dark
ness fell except where Darrows cig
arette point glowed and faded
TIIE END
The Ordeal by Fire
The really stiong scene of the play
had arrived and the amateur hero
braced himself for the effort The
house into which the wily villain had
entrapped him was on fire and his
thrilling escape from the burning struc-
ture was where he was going to bring
down the house
I am choking he cried The
smoke is overpowering me
That would have been all right ex-
cept for tho fact that there was no
smoke and it seems unreal to choke
with smoke when there isnt any
smoke to choke with
The flames he cried The flames
I feel them
But the flames were absent also He
glanced into the wings and realized
what had happene d Some one had
damped the red fire
It was a moment of terrible strain
Nothing lelieved the situation and he
lost hisnead and rambled on about
the fire that no one could see It was
awful and It was worse when a big
brute in the gallery bellowed forth
Never mind the fire guvnor Get
on w ith your job

Tho Magic Paper
This curious Incident of travel in
Africa is told by A Henry Savage
Landor I wished to buy a bag of
grain but the woman who owned it
would on no account accept silver
money for it nor anj aiticle which she
saw in iny camp Mj Somali servant
had a blight Idea the only one he had
during the entire journey across Af-
rica He weijt to one of the boxes of
provisions and tore off a highly colored
label from a corned beef tin Having
licked it copiously ho stuck it In the
middle of his forehead Inquisitive
like a woman th yCarayu asked him
What he did it for The Somali said
he had been seized with a violent
headache and the colored paper was
a certain cure The Caraju at once of-
fered the grain if the Somali would
part with the magic paper Her wish
was satisfied without delay and the
woman departed happy

The Grown of Woman-
hood is Motherhood
The crown of womanhood is mother-
hood But uneasy lies tho head that
wears the crown or anticipates this cor-
onation when there is lack of womanly
strength to bear tho burdens of maternal
dignity and duty And how few women
come to this critical time with adequate
strength The reason why so many wom-
en sink under the strainer motherhood Is
because they are unprepared Is prepar-
ation then required for motherhood asks
tho young woman And every experi-
enced mother answers Yes I un-
hesitatingly advise expectant mothers to
use Dr Piercos Favorite Proscription
writes Mrs Stephens Tho reason for
this advice is that Dr Piercos Favorite
Prescription is the best preparative for
the maternal function No matter how
healthy and strong a woman may be
she cannot uso Favorite Prescription
as a preparative for maternity without
gain of health and comfort But It is
tho women who are not strong who best
appreciate tho great benefits received
from the uso of Favorite Prescription
For one thing its use makes the babys
advent practically painless It has In
many cases reduced davs ot suffering to
a feW brief hours It has changed the
period of anxiety and struggle Into a
time of case and comfort
