Merritt was pretty certain to b

Henson trudged away for a utile o

down, from the summit of the castle

"Got you!" the voice said. ' 1

and I guessed you'd sneak (lone

copped you!"
Ilensom's knees knocked together.
Physically ho was a far stronger and
bigger man than Merritt, but he
was taken unawares, and his nerves
had been sadly shaken or late.
Merritt forced him backwards until
ho lay on the turf with his antagon-
ist kneeling on his chose. He dared
not struggle, he dared not exert
himself. Presently he might get a
chalice, and If ho did it would go
hard with James Merritt.
"What are you going to do?" he
gasped,
Merritt drew a big. jagged stone
towards ]rim with one foot.

eyes were gleaming, and in the dim
light his mouth was sot like a steel
trap. "I'm going to him a little
chat with you first, and then down
this comas'on the top of your skull,
and it'll smash you like a bloomin'
eggshell. Your timo's come, Henson.
Say your prayers,"
I can't," Henson whined, "And
what have I done?"
Merritt rocked heavily on the
other's breastbone, almost stifling
hint. "Wog?" he said, scoffingly. The
pleasing mixture of gin and fog in
his throat rendered hien more hid-
eously hoarse than usual. "Not
make up a prayer! And you.a rogu-
ing dab at all that game! Why, 1 v

"Merritt, you're crushing the life

:Merritt ceased his rocking for a
moment, 0101 the .laughter (lied out
of hie, gleaming eyes,
"I don't want to bo premntoor,"
hi said, "Yes, you'd make a lovely'
chaplain's pet, but I can't spare
you. I'm going to smash that 'ere!

be useful any more. I'll teach you

'Merritt, I swear to you that I

"You can shear till you're black

Henson groaned. It was not the!

mere girl got the bettor of 1'11)0 in;
this way. And what on earth had
she known of Reuben Taylor•? But' t
the fact remained that shn had

Shorn of teelinicalities the hisi0l;y
of Lieber's discovery may be briefly
told. Initial investigations of (.tire
radium led to the theory that it rad-
iated three kinris of rays: Alpha
rays, of low penav111ing powor;
Beta rays, of greater penetrating
power; and Gamna ray's, of enorm-
ous penetrating power.
rater investigations have estab-
lished the Ian that radium dis-
charges only Alpha ray's, and certain
emnrna1ions which are the products
of radium decomposition. These erne
rotations wore originally (dessert es
the ileta and 0 01111111 rays. The
