Saving sh:pa from destruction also ccmes ahea4 of the radio concert from some land station. For on the water, radio is he only means by which one ah.p can call another for help. What brought home to whipping rfflclala the real importance of radio at sea was the Titan. a disaster.

(Continued From Our Last Issue.) So alarming- was the consequence of this that Bennet could not at once realize It was simply a consequence. He Jumped up in fright, imagining that his grandfather suddenly had suffered from a cramp or other physical seizure. "Why. grandf:i :her, you want som? whisky? I ll get you N Lucas controlled himself and stood up. "Indigestion. " he mumbled. "Caviar here tonight. Go on; what eU happened0" When Bennet informed hm that nothiner flat transpired at the seance, he thought for a while tha: his grandson was concealing something; but at last he satisfied him-j-elf that he knew ail; and he went to his room. For Lucas never did anything at all at Galilee except meet Janrus Quinlan there and there direct J. Q to the deed that was to be done. It was marvelous how. throughout the forty-six veers which had passed since that meeting. Lucaa had carried consciousness of his own guilt

So let's just take your own Information; your father's spirit, the first thing after he was dead, goes about looking for n fellow named Barney Loutreile.

It progressed in his mind; and he laughed. In a react. on. it revolted h '. he icarded it; but it came back to him. more convincingly, mere complete, and It promised h;m triumph. It was ifter nine the next morn :nf before Ethel awoke; and then It was so delightful to l.e in bed, dreaming over the hours of the evening, that she made no stir, and it was ten when a maad knocked at her door. 8he answered Joyously "Some one for me?" Yes. Miss Carew. Mr. Lucal Cullen. your grandfa'-her." Ethel hastened down and found her grandfather, with his overcoat

"Can't you fel cvn when your own flesh and blaod tries tfl protect you?" "Prom what, grandfather?" "Ha 1 it ever occured to you that the reason your father r.ever came to my house was that he couldn't?" "No." Ethel sal. "Th.nk over it a minute." Whv?"

amity's not like maternity; but his mother Do you know who she was? Agnes here!" Suddenly he dropped Kthei and featured horridly with both, hands. "Your father and STOUT father's friend Agnes!" "Oh! Oh! Ood'" Ethel cried. Her grandfather said not another word; he stood for only a moment more, looking at her; then, satisfied, he pulled on his hr.t and stalked to the door. In the whirl of her emotions, she was endeavoring to fas-ten thought upon Barney only as couein Agnes'? -on; but against her will, and revolting her. thoughts of her father would come In. Oh. last night he had taken her as a lovsr. Agnes's son and her
father's? She was here in Agnes house Agnes who might have been might have been She heard some one coming and. a: acting up. she saw cousin Agnes housekeeper. Mrs Wain, usualiy so
calm, so completely in control of herself, advanced under a nervous tension which visibly shook h'r vliaht body. Her words contest,- d she had been listening. "What was he saying to you ff Mrs. Oitrer Cullen?" she besought her hands trem.blinj on Ethel's shoulder "What was h telling to you? Oh. you must tell ne; be said Mrs. Cullen " "Nothing about her now!" Ethel crl.d. "I mwn, he was talking about her long ago. Uut but," tidder.!v h- "oaped In the housekeeper's arms. "I'm going awa: home to Wyoming. Mrs. Wain. You nuist help me off And if Mr. Lou;re; calU for aie or telephones. 1 can not speak to him! 1 can't goj him! Perhaps perhaps I can write. I must never meet him again!" CHAPTER xvi. Early that afternoon, Lucas's de
pendable operative reported that he had followed Ethel Carey to 'the I'nion Station where she purchased a ticket and boarded a train for Sheridan. Wyoming. She had been unattended and plainly under the stress of strong emotion. What Ethel had told Barney was brief and simple In its final state
ment. ' D ar Barney: "I have found that I must leave at once for my home Some time later, I shall know how to explain what must seem madness to you. Now I can not. 'Where you are and how you are .ind what you are doing remain with me the most important things in my life; so you must let nrue know all about yourself. My address will be Sheridan. Wyoming. , "ETHEL." It was several days later :hat Mrs. Wain, the housekeeper, phened a request for him to call. "I speak to you, sir." Mrs. Wain said breathlessly, after she had sunk into the seat, "upon my own
responsibility, sir. entirely. So I mii't ask you. before I say another word, to give nie your word as a

Barnev went Immediately downtown. He had to wait on the corner only a few minutes before Mrs. Wain drove up in a taxi and invited him In.

Barney did not know her; when the nurse, who had been beside the bed. moved away and Mrs. Wain held back and Barney advanced ! 'ne. he was not conscious of ever having seen th'- woman v ho lav on her side with her profile plain itrainst the pillow. Yet a Muttering of awe of more than awe came over him as he halted silently beside lh.' bed Her face, as she lay turned toward hini. was beautiful, though illness and Intense suffering .he had surely ndured. Her skin was clear and V.vely even in its deathly pallor; her hair black and abundant had clung to its luster as had her dark brows and the lashes which lay on her cheek. Even now the indomitable soul of her that essence of her spirit which persisted though "onscionnesp long was gone was keeping up the fight. Barney felt. And he wanted her to win; oh. how he wanted her to win! It seemed to him he had never !hed s for another4 life, and whv? Because, for the first tima he was beside some one who belonged to him by blood? Because she was nis mother? (To Re Continued.)
go with you. but I have to wash the Wishes." Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink nose, opened the door and. pointing with his paw to the bluo sky and the sunshine, said: "Nurs Jane, how can you speak
of washing dishes when ail out doors ' Invites you. as I ask you. to come adventuring?" "If I could take the breakfast
dishes with me adventuring, and wash them on the way, it would be all r.ght:' laughed Miss Fuzzy Wuuy. ' You gay and careless gentlemen rabbits forget that we musk rut housekeepers nave our work to do," he went on. "However.
f;o your way. and if I can Join you
later I will." "Don't forget!" called back Uncle Wiggily as he hopped down the path and out into the hell, on the other side of which lay the great woods where there grew many adventures. Uncle Wiggily had n3t gone very tar before all of a sudden. h3 heard a funny buzzing, humming sound In the bushes. "Ah. perhaps Johnnie or Billle Bushytail is spinning a top." said the bunny gentleman. "No. It can hardly be them." he went on. "for those squirrel boys w ould be in i school. I wonder what that humming sound l?" Just then a sad voice called: "Oh. who will help me" Who will' help me?" "Oh. ho! I will, of course.'' quick- . ly answered Uncle Wiggily. 'For I can tell, by your voice, that you are neither the Woozie Wolf nor yet the Fuzzy Fox. Though I can not exactly guess who you are. nor what is the matter." "I am a little busy bee," was the j answer, "though I am not very busy '
now. for I am stuck fast in some gum, and 1 can nt be about my I
work of gathering honey from the
flowers as flit away the daylight hours; which is what it says In ihe song." "Oh. dear Bee. allow me to help
you out of the gun In which you
art stuck!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "But. If you will kindly excuse mo for saying so, I didn't know bees chewed gum." "Wis don't!" laughed the bee, whom Uncle Wfiggily hs.d not yet seen, "I am stuck In some of the sticky gum that oozes from the side of the pine tree." 'Oh. that is different!" laughed
uncle v l?g:!y. ,iil scon set you !
tree." Then, having seoti where the bee was stuok in the sticky gum on a pine tree the bunny gentleman, working very carefully so as not to harm the bee's wings or legs, set the buzzing insect free. "There you are Mtas Bee! Fly away and gather honey!" said the bunny "Excuse me. out I am not 'Miss' Bee." spok? the insect. "Our Queen If the only lady in the hive The Drones are the gentlemen, but they are lazy and gather no honey We '.vorker bees who flit from flower to
Mower are neither ladies or gontlerrnen, but sort of in-between, so you will have to call me it,' I guess.'' "As If we were playing tag!" laughed Uncle Wiggily. "Well, no matter. 1 had a Jolly little adventure setting you free." ' Thank you, and I want to do you a favor." buzzed the Bee. "If you will get a piece of birch bark and make me a cup. Ml give you eome
IWMt honey that I carry with me But, as I only have a drop of honey, which is as much as a bee can carry, Ml call some of my worker friends, and If you get a thousand drops of honey that will be enough for you and Xurse Jane." "Oh. plenty!" said Uncle W'ggily. So the Bfe buzzed Its wings, an 1 soon many other bees came flying around, putting into Uncle Wiggily's bark cup each a drop r.f honey, until he had enough. And Jut then a savage voice cned: "I want some of that! I want some of that honey, and I al.o want to nibble Uncle Wiggily's ears'." And out popped the Fuzzy Fox. "Oh. dear!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "Don't be afraid " buzzed his friend the Bee. "We have something else besides honey for the Fox." "What have you for KM growled the bad creature. "STINGS' STIXGkS! TIXCKI!" buzzed the bees, and flying at the Fex they stung him so hard, all over, that he wars glad enough to run away and not hurt Uncle Wiggily at all. Thus we learn that though thrre honey for some there are stings for others. And if the parlor floor ioesn t turn upside down so the rug ;-'oes to sleep on the ceiling and the wall paper plays tag around the legs of the table. I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily's treat.
