CHAPTER XXV.
Stealthily, as he had entered the
house, with all the precautions of a
thief in the, night, Albert left it again,
this time mercifully unperceived.
Onee,out of sight of the windows he
set headlong about all that there,
seemed to do; the search for the
body.
When Albert saw his sister again,
which was not until mid-day., he told
himself that some sort of breakdown,
whether moral or physical, could not
now be far 'off. Over flight her face

Bessie, saying that Adani was sinking

"She nay as well stay there as
not," said Albert wearily. "It won't
kill her "quicker than she is being kill-
ed here. I can't go there, Julia."
But Julia protested, and, after a
brief • struggle, Albert desperately
equieced,

dizzily towards his heart,.
"Mr. Albert!"
For the Space of a few Heart -beats
he eteod rigid, with `that icy sensa-
tion about the backbone which visits
the natural man when he suspects the..
presence of the supernatural Then,
with the leap of a cat, he was upon
him, clutching at the arm he encount-
ered, as though with claws, and push-
ing his face close to the other'shalf-
seen face, for purposes of identifica-
tion,
"Good God, Duncan! You"? Alive!"'
The words stumbled over his shak-
ing lips, <while his fingers passed.

though to assure himself that it was
actually flesh and blood. Yet. even
in this light doubt could not stand.
Bare -beaded, dishevelled, and lathe,
as damp to the touch as thoughin-
deed he had been fished up from the
bottom of the loch, Duncan stood be-
fore him, with a face as ghastly as 'a
ghost's truly, and yet no ghost.
"Yes; I am alive; but it was the
wrong boat; I was in, after all, Mr.
Albert."
"1 know, Duncan, I know! I will tell
you all -ah, thank God!"
Duncan put up his hand.
"You had better not tell me, Mr.
Albert -I'd rather not know, Things
are well enough as they are.
"But how? But when? I don't
understand--"
"You shall, presently; but just now

A,NEW NIAGARA.
Project to Develop 2•.000,000 Hors
Power by a Dam in Niagara River.
There is a plan on foot to ;build a
large dam in the Niagara River about
four and a half miles below Niagara
Falle that would create a waterfall
one hundred feet high capable of de-
veloping two million horse power. Ac-
cording to an article by Mr. T. Ken-
nard
ennard Thomson in the Engineering
News -Record, there^ is a point known
as Foster Flats, just beyond the nar-
row gorge that extends for some miles
below Niagara ' Falls. The banks of
the River are there comparatively low.
Here more than half the dam 'could
be built on dry land, and it would then
be easy to divert the swift -running
waters from the present channel be-
fore building the rest of the dam. The
Niagara River drops one hundred and
two feet in its ;course from the base
of the old falls to Lewiston, seven
miles away, where it flows at the rate
of two Hundred, and. twenty thousand
cubic -feet a second. Mr. Thomson . erect there for you and relieve you

ise the river, says Mr. Thomson is to
use asimuch,water at the :Pauls as the
governtrxents will permit,. and 'after-
wards return the water to the river
directly below the falls, so that it can
be used over again at the proposed
new falls.
