MacBeord's tumble had knocked . the floor, had reduced the air preasurto normal. The creature was suffering because there were only 10 pounds of air upon each square Inch of its surface. It suffered Just as a human being suffers na a high mountain. It squirmed and writhed, and the water was churned up by Its flappers. The gill openings beneath the ears flapped convulsively. Donald could do nothing. He knew that It was growing visible because It war dying, as happens with the crystalline crabi and other Invisible denliens of the deep sea. Soon the force of the Internal pressure would disrupt It. He turned off the gas and staggered out through the kltchan into the little garden. He knew now that Masterman*. story had some germ of truth : bo had discovered tome species of deep-water-seal, and his mind, strained by his privations, had Imagined the Why, he himself had almo.st imagined he had seen a woman to the

second tank!

He reached the gate, opened it, slammed It, and ran down the road. He did cot cease running till he pulled himself up under a street Ught. He realized then that he was hatless; people were staring after him. And, looking back, be Imagined that he aaw the shadowy outlines of the girl’s body beneath the light of the

black specks were the pupils of k pair of eyes fixed on his and fol-

‘iwlng them!

Like all Bailors, Donald Paget was « free from superstition. Any known Anger he could have faced bravely, nt this unknown thing was terrify--Z He fut his knees give under him.

And be half believed MacBeard had never existed, and that a burglar had naulted him. But as he thrust his bauds Into the pockets of his tronsers. he puiled out the single page of M.-sterman’s manuscript and then he knew that there waa at le*»st some basis for the remembrances that surged through hit busy brain. Under the light of the next lamp he read the page. “My dear friend Donald.” | Then followed the lines which Paget had begun In tbe Inventors' club, but rerer finished. There was the warning against MacBeard. “the enemy cf the human rrce." Then Masterman had written: So much I have learned, but I know tittle. He has the shrewdest brain ot the century, and it la capable ot InOnlla cvU. Not os a tale-bearer. Don*.. - but out ot duty U, humanity. I here act ooirn what I have discovered about him.

Above the conning tower rose ths «ln*Ie periscope for the captain or lookout man—now almost useless, should the F55 submerge herself, on account of the washing seas. Within the tower were the observation port, depth meter, and tubes connecting wth ths engine room and torpedo station. The platform quivered Incessantly aa the periscope motor undernealh throbbed, and the vibration of tbe engines made the entire

shiver.

In the few days that he had been .sea the sense of responsibility for his ship and the lives of his men had weighed on Donald heavily. Now, entering the conning tower, and taking his stand beside the lookout man. he seemed to asiume a dual personality. One pert of him bent Itself nutomatIcnlly to Its task. The other was thinking over the events of the past few days, and pondering on their sig-

nificance.

On the day following his visit to Baltimore. Donald had telegraphed repeatedly to New Tork. but no news had been received of the Beotia, and he had been unable to obtain any Information concerning her from any of the port officials. He had finally gone aboard at Newport News In a very disappointed frame of mind, hopeless of meeting Ida Kennedy until after

The effects of those who nsve taken the French silhouette and hunt gowns to their own wvkrooms, °>*'Ie of American materials, should De commended in an entire chapter.

In every case, the houses that ■bowed these American gowns called op-n their experienced French workers to produce them, nnd the only oo»'s that were successful were the ■ gowns that had been given Into the hands of those who hud studied the Paris methods with reverence and earni-Mucss.

True, there Is a class of women who go to expensive houses that handle only a few of the most fashionable pieces of nppore! and offer nothing that can lea.l one Into the wrong path; but this class remains an exclusive one. and what they do or do not do Is not always a guide to the lunar of women who must light out the battle of clothes in their own way and to whom

Big Drive Throughout Notion Coming Week of October 21-28—How All Murt Unite to Whip Kaiser and Bring Peace Again. Washington.—The food pledge campaign is projected upon brood lines, but It Is very simple nnd very plain. The food administration will marshal its whole force of half n million campaigner* organized for food-pledge week, to promote the second TJbcrty loan. The week of October 21 to 28 ha* been set for the big drive the food administration lias planned to enroll nil American families for food conservation. Tlie IJbertjr loan campaign will to at It* height at the saiuo time. Herbert Hoover, the food administrator.

So simple and so plain that they have been stated lu the cotuptft* ot a card—a card that It I* promised to hang In every home of the land—a card that Is the “war creed of tlio kitchen." because, so closely arc the people In this country linked to the world war. that one of the pIinscM of the struggle must he fought out in the American kitchen. If soldiers arc to fight, they must be fed. For the past three year*, ons by one, our allies across the sea have been taking the men from the farm d from the factory nnd sending them the firing line. Each man sent to the firing line meant one less who could be relied upon to help produce the food that “will win the war." If the laborer Is worthy of his hire, surely the fighter Is worthy of Ids foie'. That is a principle universally accepted by the American public. However. It Is not every product that • sent across the sea. Corn will rave the need; our allies have used it as a food; they have no mills to grind it: turn It Into meal la thi* country and it would spall before It could reach j European iH*rt. Them are Just four classes of products, Iho experts say. that we must send to our anil’s If our duty to them Is to to- discharged; they need meat, wheat, pugnr and dairy products. We can conserve our wheat by increasing oar consumption of other grains. We can conserve our meat by making a grer.ter dennm! upon the resources of the fish market.
