To the worth of this story there the two substantial tributes — first, that it was run as a serial iby the London Sphere, a publi- =cation noted for its discrimina- tion in the selection of serials land which rarely uses an Amer- •ican story; second, that "The Mystery" was one of the "good sellers" of 1907. This is a story of mystery and adventure on new lines. The style is as ,graphic and forceful as the 'curly" of a skillful reporter of .o'z important news event. The �..ert of the hero unfolds gradu- ri 4.. ;1y until he stands revealed as rarest combination of whim- sical humor and coat courage ever presented, perhaps, in fie - _,.tion. The narrative, which con- veys the impression of reality, ,not fiction, is swift and alluring, holding the interest qi the reader ,as with hooks of steel. • CHAPTER I. HE late afternoon sky flaunted its splendor of blue and gold like a banner over the Pacifle, across whose depths the trade wind droned in measured cadence. On the ocean's wide expanse a hulk wal- lowed sluggishly, the forgotten relict of a once brave and sightly ship, pos- sibly the sphinx of some untold ocean #raged,, she lay black and forbidding In the ordered procession of waves. Half a mile to the east of the derelict hovered a ship's cutter, the turn of her crew's heads speaking expectancy. As far again beyond, the United States Cruiser Wolverine outlined -her severe and trim silhouette against the hori- .zon. In aII the spread of wave and sky no other thing was visible. For this was one of the desert parts of the Pacific, 300 miles north of the steam- ship route from Yokohama to Honolu- lu, 500 miles from the nearest land, Gardner island, and more than 700 northwest of the Hawaiian group. On, the cruiser's quarter deck the of- ficers lined the starboard rail. Their interest was focused on the derelict. "Looks like a heavy job," said Ives, ,one of the junior lieutenants. "These floaters that lie with deck almost awash will stand more hammering than a mud fort" "Wish they'd let us put some six inch shells into her," said Billy Ed- -✓ wards, the ensign, a wistful expres- cion on his big, round, cheerful face. "I'd Iike to see what they would do." "Nothing but waste a few hundred dollars of your Uncle Sam's money," observed Carter, the officer of the deck. "It takes placed charges inside and out for that kind of work." "Barnett is the man for her then," said Ives. "He's no economist when it comes to getting results. There she goes!" Without any particular haste, as it seemed to the watchers, the hulk was shouldered out of the water as by some hidelen leviathan. Its outlines melted into a black, outshowering mist, and from that mist Ieaped a giant Up, up, he towered, tossed whirling arms a hundred feet abranch, shivered and dissolved into a wide- spread cataract, The water below was lashed into fury, in the midst of which a mighty death agony beat back the troubled waves of the trade wind. Only then did the muffled double boom of the explosion reach the ears of the spectators, presently to be followed by a whispering, swift skimming wavelet that swept irresistibly across the big ger surges and lapped the ship's side, as for a message that the work teas done. Here and there in the sea a glint of sliver, a patch of purple or dull red or a glistening apparition of black show tl, wlilt, h w`i ti it E e 01 11 6 Y,70 Tf1ia letter tefla how one woman got rid of liver Complaint, hifiousneos, and tolrible sick headache.

When Barnett, the ordnance officer in charge of the destruction, returned to the ship Carter complimented Ulna. "Good clean job, Barnett. She was a tough customer too," "What was she?" asked Ives. "The Caroline Lemp, three masted schooner. Any one know about her?" Ives turned to the ship's surgeon, Trendon, a grizzled and brief spoken veteran, who had at his &tigers' tips all the lore of a}t the waters under the reign of the moon, "What does the information bureau of the seven seas know about it?" "Lost three years ago—spring of 1901 —got into ice field off the tip of the Aleutians. Some of the crew froze. Others got ashore, Part of survivors accounted for. Others not. Say they've turned native. Don't know myself." "The Aleutians!" exclaimed Billy Ed- wards. "Great cats! What a drift! Hew many thousand miles would that be?" "Not as far as mann another derelict has wandered iu her time, son," said Barnett. '.1 he talk washed back and forth across the hulks of classic sea mys- teries, new and old; of the City of Boston, which went down with all hands, leaving for record only a mel- ancholy scrawl on a bit of board to meet the wondering eyes of a fisher- man on the far Cornish coast; of the Great Queensland, which set out with 569 souls aboard, bound by a route unknown to a tragic end; of the Na- ronic, with her silent and empty life- boats alone left, drifting about the open sea, to hint at the story of her fate; of the Huronian, which ten years later, on the same day and date and hailing from the same port as the Na- ronic, went out into the void, leaving no trace; of Newfoundland captains who sailed, roaring with drink, under the arcbes of cathedral bergs, only to be prisoned, buried and embalmed in the cue icy embrace; of craft assailed by the terrible one stroke lightning clouds of the Indian ocean, found days after, Stone blind, with their crews madly hauling at useless sheets, while the officers clawed the compass and sln'ieked; of burninys and piracies, of pest ships and slave ships and ships mad for want of water, of whelming earthquake waves and mysterious suc- tions, drawing irresistibly against wind and steam power upon unknown currents; of - stout hulks deserted in panic, although sound and seaworthy, and of others so swiftly dragged down that there was no time for ally to save himself, and of a hundred other strange, stirring and pitiful ventures such as make up the inevitable peril and incorrigible romance of the ocean. Iu a pause Billy Edwards said musing- ly: "Well, there was the Laughing Lass." "flow did you happen to hit on her?" asked Barnett quickly. "Wby not, sir? It naturally cane into my head. She was last seen somewhere about this part of the world, wasn't she?" After a moment's hesitation lie added, "From something I heard ashore I judge we've a com- mission to keep a watch sent for her as well as to destroy derelicts." "What about the Laughing Lase?" asked McGuire, the paymaster, a New Englander, who had been in the serv- ice but a short tune. "Good Lord, don't you remember the Laughing- Lass mystery and the dis- appearance of Dr..Schermerhorn?" "Karl Augustus Schermerhorn, the man whose experiments to identify telepathy with the Marconi wireless 'waves made such a furore in the pa- pers?" "Oh, that was only a byproduct Of his mind! Ile was an original inves- tigator in every line of physics and chemistry, besides most of the natural sciences," said Barnett. "The govern, went is particularly interested in him because of his contributions to aerial photography." "Anel he was lest with the Laughing Lass?" ,, . \obaely I.tim s.„ said Edwards.

"What Wan the elijeet of the voy- T$.0 WIi+TGH4 d T RES, JUN4 10 1909 age?" asked Ives, "They were supposed to be after buried treasure," gild Barnett, "I've always thought it more likely that Dr. Schernlet'11orn was on a set - entitle expedition;") said Edwards. "I knew the old bey, and be wasn't the sort to mare for treasure, buried or un- buried." ".Every time a ship sets out from S 1u Franclee° without publishing to all the world just what her business is all the world thinks We one of those wild goose hunts," observed Ives. "Yes," agreed Barnett. "Flora and Mina of some unknown island would be meek more in the Schermerhorn line of traffic, Not unlikely that some of the festive natives collected the utt• fortuunto professor," Various t.ieories were advanced, with. drawn, refuted, defended, and the ins, c uaslon carried them through the swift twilight into the darkness whish half been 'hastened by a high spreading canopy of storm clouds. Abruptly from the crow's nest came startling news for those desolate seas: "Light, hill Two points 011 the port bow!' The lookout had given extra voice to It.

"On reek, sir." "Hello," responded Carter, the ofrl- eer of the deck. "There's. a light here I can't make enythit-g out of, sir." "What's it Like?" "Sort of a queer general glow." "General glow, indeed!" tuuttered Forsythe, among the group aft. "That fellow's got an imagination." "Can't you describe it better than that?" called Carter. "Don't make it out at all, sir. 'Tain't any regular and proper light. Looks like a lamp in a fog," Among themselves the officers dis- cussed it interestedly as it began to grow Weiner. "Not finlike the electric glow above a city seen from a distance," said Bar- nett as it grew plainer. "Yes, but the nearest electric lighted city is some 800 miles away," objected Iyes. "MIrage, maybe," suggested Ed- wards. "Pretty hard working mirage to cov- er that distance," said Ives. "Though I've seen 'em"— "Great heavens! Look at that!" shouted Edwards.

Three minutes tater the captain was on the bridge, The great ship had swung, and they were speeding direct for the phenomenon. But within a Pew minutes the light had died out. "Another sea mystery to add to our list," said Billy Edwards. "Did any one ever see a show like that before? What do you think, Doc?" "Humph!" grunted the veteran. "New to me. Volcanic, maybe," CHAPTER II. HE falling of dusk on June the 8d found tired eyes aboard the Wolverine. Every officer in her complement had kept a private and personal lookout all day for some explanation of the previous night's phenomenon, All that reward- ed 'them were a sky filmed with lofty clouds and the holiday parade of the epauletted waves. Nor did evening bring a repetition of that strange glow. Midnight found the late stayers still deep in the dis• mission. "Ono thing is certain," said Ives; "it wasn't volcanic," "Why so?" asked the paymaster. `"Because volcanoes are mostly sta- tionary, and we headed due for that light." "Yes, but did we keep headed?" said Barnett, who was navigating officer as web as ordnance officer, in a queer voice, "What do you mean, sir?" asked Ed- wards eagerly, "After the light disappeared the com- pass kept on varying,. The stars were hidden. There is no telling just where we were beaded for some time." "Then we might be fifty miles from the spot we aimed at." 'Hardly that," said the navigator. "We could guide her to some extent by the direction of wind and waves.

If you overfeed you will bare fat hens and fewer eggs, The drat food for chicks is bread crumbs well mined with clean white sand, A, dunghill will eat as much as a pure bred and forget to give a geed account at it. Feed chinks at first about every three hours, and less frequent ala they grow older. It may be advisable once more to re• commend occasional waehing of roosts with kerosene. It takes mare feed to grow the larger brood of fowls, but .you have more to show for your work. A hen that exercises will lay twenty, five per vent. more eggs than a ben that 'don't, and at less cost per dozen, Varieties of blank chicks at first Show a white or cream color, bat this gives way to blank in a short time. At the first indication of bowel trouble in chicks a lady gives boiled milk and sprinklea their runs with oharooal and sand. Fill empty egg shells with mustard and cayene and leave them about the yard for egg eating hens to indulge in. It often cures the habit. A two weeks old ohieken, says a writer, requires as mach medicine in a clay as a six -months old child, a six - months old chick as a year-old child, Some roosters are so gallant that they step aside to permit hens to eat and do not get enough themselves. Don't let a rooster fail of sufficient nourishment on that account, Small seeds and cracked grains are the natural feeds for small chicks; meal or dry bread is good for them. Lots of s mple things make good feed, There is nothing about nature that suggests a steady diet bf soft feed, although a change is good for them. Praotioally and truthfully so, there has been noth- ing new and improved in nature the last ono hundred years notwithstanding the talks to sell stuff, WHY SUFFER?

Just as long as you have catarrh your nose will itch, your breath will be foul, you Will hawk and spit and yon will do other disgusting things because you can't help yourself, The germs of oatarrh leave got you in their power; they are continually and persistently digging into and irritating the moons membrane of your nose and throat. They are making your life miserable; in time they will sap your entire system of its energy, its strength, its vigor and vitality. But there is ane remedy that will 11111 the germs and Dire catarrh, and that is Hyomei, the Australian dry air treatment. Joseph Dural, of Woodetook Street, Tavistock, Oat., says: "Catarrh had given me all kinds of suffering for a Iong time. There was a swelling of the glands under the eyes and adjacent to my Inose and the discharges would drop `uto my throat. I used several reme- dies, hut never got the relief that I did from Booth's Hyomei, I have been so pleated with Hyomei respite that Ihigh- ly reoommond i's use to oatarrh suffer- ers."

It is also guaranteed to cure bronchitis, asthma, coughs, colds, hay fever and croup. WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN. A large head need not necessarily con. Iain a good brain, but it is more likely to do so than a small one, says the Lon- don Daily Mail, Profeseor Frederiok W. Mott, lectnr- iag before the Royal Institution of Great Brialin on "The Erain", said that al- though in SS per cent of the oases in which the brains of great men had been weighed the weight was above the aver- age, brain.weight itself did not always mean brain•quality. When there was lack of funotionat• ing tissue, the lecturer explained, the structural material might receive more than its normal share of nourishment and the extra weight be due to over- growth of "brain soaflolding." This accounted for the very large and heavy brains sometimes found in congenial s g idiots.
