-Kennedy smiled quietly. "That was why I asked him to do It," he return- . ed. "I thought that he wouldn't let much escape him. They all seem so down on him, he'll have to watch out. It will keep him busy, too, and that means a chance for us to work." He had finished setting up the machine, and now went over to another drawer, from which he took the envelope of stubs which we had. taken down at Whitney's office first; - Then from the pocket of his street coat he drow both the second envelope of nslies and stubs, the whole cigarette frcn Lockwood's case, and the stubs which both of us had saved from the cigarettes that had once belonged to Mendoza. Carefully he separated and labelled them all 0 that there would be no chance for them to get mixed up. Then he picked up one of the stubs and lighted it.- The smoke curled up In wreaths between a powerful light and the peculiar Instrument, while Craig peered through a lens, manipulating the thing with exhaustless patience and skill. I watched him curiously, but said nothing, for ; he was studying something . carefully, and I did not want to lnterrupt'hls train of thought. Finally he beckoned me over. "Can you make anything out of that?" he asked. I looked through the eye-piece, also. On a sort of fine grating all I could see was a number of strange lines. "If you want an opinion from me," I said, with a laugh, "youll have to tell me first what I am looking at." "That," he explained, as I continued to gaze, "is one of the latest forms of the spectroscope, known as the Interferometer, with delicately ruled gratings In which power to. resolve the straight, close lines In the spectrum is carried to the limit of possibility. A small watch: is delicate.. But it bears no comparison to the delicacy of these defraction spectroscopes. "Every substance, you know, Is, when radiating light, characterized by what at first appears to be almost haphazard sets of spectral bands without relation to one another. . But they are related by mathematical laws, and the apparent haphazard character is only the result of our lack of knowledge of how to interpret the results." He resumed his place at the eye

piece to check over his results. ; "Walter," he said finally, looking up at me with a twinkle in his eye, "I wish that you'd go out and find me a cat."

"A cat?" I repeated. "Yes, a cat "fells domesticus," If it sounds better that way a plain, ordinary cat" I jammed on my hat and, late as It was, sallied forth on this apparently ridiculous mission. ' Several belated passers-by and "a policeman watched me as though ' ! were a house-breaker, and I felt like a fool, but at last, by perseverance and tact, I managed to capture a fairly good specimen of the species, and carried it in my arm to the laboratory with some profanity and many scratches. THE WEED OF MADNESS In my absence Craig had set to work on a peculiar apparatus, as though he were distilling something from several of the cigarette stubs which he had been studying by means of the Interferometer. "Here's your confounded cat," I ejaculated, as I placed the unhappy feline in a basketand waited patiently until finally he seemed to be rewarded for his patient labours. It was well along toward morning when he obtained In a test-tube a few drops of a colourless, odourless liquid "My Interferometer gave me a clue," he remarked, as he held the tube up with satisfaction. "Without the telltale line In the spectrum which I was able to discover by its use I might have been hunting yet for it. It is so rare that no one would ever have thought offhand, I suppose, to look for it. But here It Is, I'm sure, only I wanted to be able to test it." - "So you are-not going to try it on yourself," I said sarcastically, referring to his last experiment with a

poison. "This time you are going to make the cat the dog." "The cat will be better to test it on than a human being," he replied, with a glance that made me wince, for, after his performance with the curare, I felt' that once the scientific furore was on him I might be called upon to become an unwilling martyr to science. : To be continued

. Sloan's Liniment Eases Pain Sloan's Liniment is first thought of mothers for bumps, bruises and sprains that are continually happening to children. It quickly penetrates and soothes without rubbing. Cleaner and more effective than mussy plasters or ointements. For rheumatic aches, neuralgia pain and that grlppy soreness after colds. Sloan's Liniment gives prompt relief. Have a bottle handy for briuses, strains, sprains and all external pain. For the thousands whose work calls them outdoors, the pains and aches following exposure are relieved by Sloan's Liniment. At all Druggists, 25c.

UNLIMITED CONTROL OF HIGHWAY SYSTEM I OPPOSED BY 80CIETY

Members - of the Wayne County Motor club opposed unlimited ; state control of the county highway systems as established by a previous legislature, but voted to support the state highway commission bill last night at a special meeting. A resolution' was adopted similar to one adopted by the state organization of county highway superintendents recenUy in Indianapolis. .Several proposed plans for a state commission were adopted In a modi-

fled form, the central idea being the appointment of three members by the governor, operating on a non-partisan basis for efficiency.
