A Tale 'About Time-Keepinga
Many- thousands of years panned on
this earth before man devised any de-
vice fortelUng the time lay the sun.
It
is known that early man began his day
at sunrise and' divided it into twenty-
four hours, but It- was not: until about
65013.C. that BereauOy a Greek, invent-
ed the sundial, says C. W. Mitman in
"The Story of Time -Keeping."
The value of Borealis/ lthention was
soon recognized and sundials were
erected in many places,. They were
not, however, always gratefully " re-
ceived; as indicated by an old Roman
conservative:'
The gods confound the man who first
found out
How to distinguish hours! Confound
them all
Who in this 'place ,set up a sundial
To cut and hack my days so rigidly
Into small portions! When I was a
• Loy ,
My belly was my sundial; one more
sure,
Truer and more exact than any of
them.
The dial told me when ,'twee Dormer
time
To go to dinner (when }; had aught -to
eat). ..
But bowalays, why
I cantf. fall to unless the sun given
leave. '
'The town's so full of these confound
ed dials
The greater part of these inhabitants,
Shrulikwith hutger, creep along the

CHAPTER III,—(Cont'd.) :.
"And where were you?" shot out
Easton. '
"Why we were going to call up the
Parra. to getthem to come over," chor-
used Rae and Jack Curtis. "But it be-
gan to rain. We dashed out to put
up the windows, let down;the cur•tina
on the cars. Got wet, but closed 'em
up.' Who was in the ear?"
Easton waved his hand. "They can
tell you as, much as I, :We've been
robbed. I'm going to find that break
in the feed wire if I,can, restoremhe
lights.: I don't believe it was the
lightning did that."
.Meanwhile Ken Adams and Laddie
in the station wagon had got through
the deluged roads to the club. The
first thing Craig and I knew about it
was when e boy in a very wet poncho
with a very bedraggled collie at his
heels burst in upon us. -Uncle Craig!
We've been robbed l'
You'11 come with me, Walter?"
Craig turned to me.
"Give me a chance to -get a ,rain-

"I'll get yours, too, Craig." oral"'

needed was action,nstant action, and

crime.
Out in the Lashing rain we slogged
into the station wagon; and were off.
It was a wild night for driving, a

Suddenly it seemed ea if that fiivver
must lose its balance. I never shall"
be able to figure out just wheTe the
centre of gravity of a lust

nedy,in the rajah of time,` had spied a
huge, high -hooded racer without lights
bearing down on' us. He had turned
in the nick ..of time just at -a -point
where the crown of the macadam road
made it dangerous. All was well, but
by mere luck.
"I'll bet that was that yellow racer,",
piped Ken Rae and Jack said they
saw it at the glace. And this fellow
in the mask aard they had other work
to do to -night, The ve robbed some
thio :time just Kennedy and Easier',

"If anything can do it now, it will

cried Easton,now greatly exerted,

'
Soit warys-that the message'ofalarm
got through to the radio fans of the
country in spite of every, obstacle of
accident and, dliance.
Meanwhile, tearing thavugh the
murkiness of the night, t-ysilow
racer was disappearing tip a dark
country entrance drive to a private
estate

As fir me I was quite excited. Who
was this Radio robber? Who headed
