Clinton News.Record at the ticket window developed the fact that It was the 22:20 for Brussels, the last train leaving the Gare Cen- trale that night and due to start In ten minutes. I The information eettled their plans for once and all. Kirkwood promptly secured.through tickets, also porches - hilt "reserve" supplementary tickets which entitled them to the use of. those modern corridor coaches which take the place of first class compart- ments on the, Belgian state railways, "It's a pleasure," said Kirkwood lightly as he followed the girl into .one of these, "to find oneself in a common sense sort. of train again. Feels like home." He put their lug- gage 111 one of the racks and sat down beside her. , The girl ,srolled bravely. "And after Ihtussels?" she inquired. : "First train for the coast," he said promptly -"Dover, •Ostend, Boulogne, whichever proves handiest, no nsatter wbich, so long as it gets us on English soil without undue delay." She saki "Yes" abstractedly, resting. in elbow on the window sill and her chin in her palm. to stare with seri - MS, sweet brown eyes out 'into the are.smitten night that hung beneath the echoing roof. • Kirkwood fidgeted in despite of the constraint he placed himself under to be still and not disturb, her needlessly. Impatience. anti apprehension of mis- fortune obsessed his mental processes in,equal degree. The ten minutes seemed interminable that elapesd ere the grinding couplings advertised the imminence of their start, • The guards began to bawl, the doors •to slam, belated travelers to dash" mad- ly for the coaches. The train gave a preliminary lurch ere settling down to its league long inland dash, Kirkwood, in a fever of hope and aa • ague of fear, saw a man sprint fu- riously across the platform and throw. himself on the forward. steps of their• coactt on the very instant of the .start. Presently he entered by the forward, door and Walked slowly through, nar- rowly inspecting' the various passen-; gers. As he approached the seats 0c -- copied by Kirkwood and Dorethy Oal- ender, his eyes encouutered the young • man's, and he leered' evilly. Kirkwood met the look with .one that was like a kick,. and the fellow palmed with some haste WO the car behind. . "Who' was that?" dernan.ded the girl Without movigg her heed.

Whatever answer he would have made be was obliged to postpone be- cause of the return of the guar, with a handful of time tables. and when, rewarded with a modest gratuity, the man had gone his way and Kirkwood turned again to the girl site had with- drawn her attention for the time, Unconscious of bis bele regard, she was dreaming, her thoughts at loose ends, her eyes studying the incalcula- ble depths of blue black night that seeirle,d and eddied beyond the window glass. The most shadowy of mulles touched her lips: the faintest shade of deepened color rested on her cheeks. She was thinking of -him? As long as he dared the young man, his heart In his own eyes, watched' her greedily, •taking a miser's joy of her youthful beauty, striving with 'all his soul to analyze the enigma of that most in- scrutable smile. It baffled him. He could not say of what she thoughtand told himself bitterly that it wan .not for hint, a pauper, to presume a place in ber meditations. He must not forget his circumstances nor let her tolerance render him oblivious to his •place. whiclt inust be a servant's, not a toy- or's.

" In this statement,' . however, Mr. Kirkwood wes fortunately mistaken. Not only heaven, it appeared, had cognizance of the distance between the two stations. While Kirkwood • was still debating the :question, with pessimistictridencies, the, friendly guard 'had Occasion to pass through the coach and. being, •tapped; yielded the desired information with entire tractability. .

That was just after we had left the anchorage, They both insisted that it was safer to coneture by the Alethea, but he wouldn't listen to thew and in the end had his way.

These brakes, ine the efficiency of emergency are the invention cif a Montrealer, the late Mr. 'Laceete, son of Sir Alexander Lacoste. The inventor died last year. , The United States ship Indiana, Which has been selected for the triale, has been in dry dock at the League Navy yard in Philadelphia for nearly three niontlis in preparation tor the tests. She is the first battle- ship, or indeed vessel of considerable size, to be tested in this way, and the results are • being awaited with the liveliest Interest. The engineers who are installing this itovel Appliance believe the egner- gency brake 1S the most important in- vention in marine engineering irt may decades. It is claimed that ft will revolutionize the science of ma- noeuvring in naval engagements. The brake is believed•to give the captain. of the largest and heaviest battleship tut instant contra of his craftabso- lutely impossible' .under present con- ditions. The brake, it -is promised, will enable a ship to stop even when going at full speed in half its own. length. It will also make it possithe for a great ship to be swung about• from side to side as though on a pivot. A very wide application is promised for the new invention. It is intend- ed not alone for battleships but for all forma of. turbines. One of the great drawbacks of the turbine engine,. it is pointed out, is the fact that with - Out additienal machinery it is im- possible to back water. The turbine . ship is, therefore, au express train, , without a brake. By installing the ' emergenck brake on all turbine steam- ers such ships will be brought'under . absolute coritroL The danger of col- lision at .sea, it is pointed out, will be ' practically eliminated' by the use or sueh an. apparatus. „ The general prinoiple of the ship brake is 'extremely simple: It consists of two large planes or wings of steet which are attached to either side Of • the vessel below the water line. While net itt. actida they : are folded in. against the side of the ship. To set them in action, to put on the brakes these wings are held in a position at rightangles; to the side of ',the ship. • They natinally greatly increase the re- sistance of the ship by ploughing •through the waters and bring the ship tiO standing." When the ship' has. -been brought to a standstill they are folded 'up against the vessel's side. where they are ready for use when . required. • Canada's Carrying Trick.
