CHAPTER -XXI,—( Coned.) Collins was already on his feet. He had straightened himself wonderfully and there was a new alertnese in his manner. He, too, wore rubber shoes and his movements were absolutely noiseless. He carried a little electric torch in his hand, which he flashed around the roam while he placed sev- eral mall articlee in his pocket. Then he pushed open the door and listened. He turned back, held up his finger and nodded.. The two men lamed down the stairs, through the eitting-roem, ant en to the lawn by a door left un - fattened, and round the house to the shed. Together they pushed the ear down the slight incline of the drive. Granet mourned into the driving -seat and preseed the elf -starter. Cornea took the r'ace by his side.

In a moment a strange, u earthly green light seemed, to r back the darknese, The house, t workshop, the trees, the slowly fie ing see, their own ghastly faces everything stood revealed in a blaze hideous, awful eight. For a manceitt they forgot themselves, they forg et nour ror nhm, • the eriirecle they had brought t0 pass. Their eyes were rivetted skyward. High above them, something blacker than the heavens themselves, stapen- tious, huge, seemed suddenly to es- , smile to itself shape, The roar of ma- chinery was clearly audible. From the house came the mingled, shouting of many voices. Something dropped into 'the sea a hundred yards away with a screech and a 'hiss , and a geyser -like fountain leapt so high that the spray reached them. Then there was a ,eharper sound as a rifle bullet whistl- ed by. "My God!" Granet exclaimed. "It time we were out of this, Collins!' , He reirel his scull. Even at th moment there was a terrific explosion A strean of lurid fire seemed to lea from the corner of the house, th wall plit and, fell outwards. An then there came another sound, hid ous, sickly, a sound Granet bad hear before, the sound of a rifle bullet cu ting its way through flesh, followe , by an inhuman cry. For a momen • Collin's arms whirled around him Then, with no other sound save the one cry, be fell forward and <limp • netred. For a single second Grane leaned over the side of the beat as though to dive after aims Then cam another roar. The eared flew up in blinding storm, the whole of the cree was suddenly a raging torrent. Th boat was swung on a precipitous mountain of salt water and as quick! capsized. Granet, breathless for moment and half stunned, found hi way somehow to the side of th marshland, and from there stumble his way towards the road. The haus behind him was on fire, the air seemed filled with hoarse shoutings. He turtle( and ran for the spot where he had left the car. Once he fell into a salt water pool and came out wet through to the waist. In the end, however, he reached the bank, clambered over it and slip- per' down into the road. Then a light was flashed into his eyes and a bay- onet was rattled at his feet. There were a couple of soldiers in charge of his car, "Hands up!" was the hoarse order. Granet calmly flashed his own elec- tric torch. There were at least a ozen soldiers standing around, and a little company were hurrying down ram the gates. Ile switched off his ight almost immediately. "Is any one hurt?" he asked. There was a deadt silence. He felt is arm seized on either side. "The captain's coming cloven the oad," one of the men said. "Lay on o hire, Thai" They pushed the boat into the mid- dle of the black arm of water and e 1 stepped cautiously into it. Taking j one of the paddles, Granet, kneeling down, propelled it slowly seaward. Once or twice they ran into the .bank and had to push off, but very soon 1 their eyes grew accustomed to the r darkness. By degrees the creek broad- t ened. They passed Mose to the walls of the garden, and very aeon they ware perceptibly nearer the quaintly- eittiated workshop. Granet paused for a moment 'from his labors. "The Hall is dark enough," he mut- tered. "Listen!" • They heard the regular 'acing of a sentinel in the drive. Nearer to them, on the top of the wall, they fancied that they heard the clash of a bayonet. ni Granet dropped his voice to the barest whisper. "We are close there now, Strebeh out your hand, Collins. Can you feel r "Was any one hurt by the :bombs?" Geoffrey Atwell -nen inquired. "No one seemed to be much the worse," Granet replied. "I didn't think of anything of that sort in connection with Collins, though. Perhaps be might have got hurt." "We'll all go over and have a look for him this afternoon if he hasn't turned up," Anse:men suggested. "What about playing a round of golf this morning?" "Suit me all right," Granet agreed. "I'd meant to lay up because of my arm, but it's better this morning, Ps Well start early and get back for the papers/' et They motored down to the club- house and played their round. it was p a wonderful spring morning, with a e eon west wind blowing from the land. d Little patches of sea lavender gave e- purple color to the marshland.

In the hind- quarters they appeared to be true fish, but in the head and neck they were ox -like. The huge seamow often wenght ,000 lb., and is 40 ft. long. Seaweed rows in miniature forests along the leution Islands, and the seamows nce pastured there. They possessed habit of herding together like cattle, renting and puffing.

CHAPTER XXII. Granet sauntered in to breakfast a few minutes late on the following morning. A little volley of questions and exclamations reached him as he stood by the sideboard. "Heard about the Zeppelin raid?" "They say there's a 'bomb- on the nth green!" "Market Burnhanr•Hall is burnt to he ground!" Granet etched as he crossed the tem and took his seat at the table. "If you fellows hadn't slept like xen last night," he remarked, "you'd ave known a lot more about it. I saw the whole show." "Nonsense!" Major Harrison ex- claimed. "Tell us alt about it?" young Ansel - man begged. "I heard the thing just as I was eginning to undress," Granet explain- -3, "I rushed downsbairs and found ollins out in the garden. . . Where o devil is Collin's, by -the -bye?" They glanced at his vacant place. "Not down yet. Go on." "Well, we could hear the vibration ke anything, coming from over the arsh there. I got the ear out and e were no sooner on the road than could see it distinctly, right above —.a huge, cigar -shaped thing.

All at once the bombs began to drop." "What aro they like?" Geoffrey A.melman exclaimed. Granet poured out his coffee care- fully. "I've seen 'em before --plenty of them, tee," he remarked, "but they did rain them down. Then all of a sud- den there was sort of glare—T don't know what happened.

"Some one from the War Office has arrived and is waiting to speak to Captain Granet," he announced. "We're all coming over after lunch," young Anselman protested. "Wouldn't that do?"

Spectacles for Russian Cows A. good deal of surprise was created when a long list of goods required by Russia was found to contain an order for spectacles for cows, says an Eng- lish newspaper. Surely this must be a joke, said the business men, or aomeone must have blundered In writing the word cows, for spectacles could certainly not be needed for animals. But there was no mistake. Cows on the Reset= steppes bave Tong worn spectacles to protect their eyes from the glare at the snow, which stretches for hundreds of miles on all sides till Tate spring, and sets up a serious af- fection that may reault in total blind- ness. Snow blindness is not a new com- plaint. There aro many instances of it in bletory. The glare of the sun shining on the snow causes a pricking pain; then there is a sensation of grit under the eyelids; light of any kind becomes extremely painful and the sight begins to go. If the matter is not attended to, the eyelids swell and the vision may remain impaired for menthe. On the vast steppes of Russia the cattle that graze during tho early spring, when the ground for hundreds of miles is glistening white, are troubled with snow blindness; but several nate ago an Englishman in- vented a tamale' form of spectacles with brown glass wbich could be fas- tened round the horns of cattle with leather straps. Quite a thriving busiest* grew tip in the manufacture of these spectacles, but the war put a atop to It, and the cattle suffered severely, Now Russia ia anxious to adept the remade again, Mountain clliebere and, Ant* ex. piorers have to wear blue or green glasses when in, snow -clad regions, and any neglect to do this may lead to serious trouble. No amount et familiarity or usage gives immunity, even to the people whose ancestors have lived amid the mows tor centuries. The -Eskimos, halm long made snow spectacles in a very crude form from driftwood. This is cut to the curvature of the face: a notch serves as a bridge for the nose, and fn each of the discs that cover the eyes where the wood is about two Inches thick, a narrow silt, about the width cif a thin saw cut, made. Through the slits the light Passes to the eyes sufnciently dimin- ished to prevent snow blindness. Nansen used these Eskimo snow spectacles In Greenland, and founil them very good, as the absence ot glass prevented the obscuring of the sight by the condensation of moisture en the lenses. Captain Perry, au ear- lier explorer, and his men, also wore native snow epeatacles. On one oc- casion, when a party of men set ant from Parry's boat without this pro- tectioe, every man was etruck with blindness, and no onto was able to di- rect the sledge. Large bodies of men have some- times been affected by snow blindness. In Peru a whole division of the army marching from Cuzco to Pano became blind, and a hundred guides had to be summoned to lead them to their des. deaden. Many of the afflicted men Nvandered away and fell over Pre- cipices.

A secret of bathing the face sue cessfully is first to open the pores o the skin with warm water, then t cleanse them 'thoroughly, and finale to close them with colhi water so the as little dirt as possible will lodge I them. Usually pure soap and water, whit plenty of sleep and fresh air, simple food and sufficient exercise will keep the skin clean and fresh. Bathe the few every day with pure soap and warm soft water and rinse it with warm water and then with elean, cool water. If the soap is not well washed. off, the skid will become dry and at tight. Some skins, however, react more re favorably to a good cold, cream than to soap and water. Avoid skin lotions and beauty creates of which you know little or nothing; experimenting with hi such things may ruin your skin. fo Choose a pure, cleansing cold cream. Wash the face with a wash cloth and warm water before you go to bed; then dry it and rub the cold cream weld into the skin. After a short time wipe off the cream with a towel that has been dipped( in warm water; then wash the face thoroughly with fresh, warm water anct finish by rinsing it with cold water, Sonia persons prefer to leave the cream on overnight and to wash it off in the morning. There le no objection to that plan, Never try to clean your face with cold water alone, and when your face is overheated do not wash it in cold water.
