A doctor discover* he has been ■hot. fatally. Consciousness returning, he babbles of "million*." He begs that Henry Archman. millionaire resident of the vicinity, be sent for, declaring he ha* important paper* for him. Archman cannot be reached by phone, but word is sent that hi* secretary is on the way. A man! announcing himself as Archman'* secretary. Akin, arrives, talks with Morbach, and leaves with a package he give* film. Morbach dies. Archman's arrival, with hi* secretary, reveal* that the man posing a* Akin is an impostor. Archman denounces Edith Grant a* a girl endeavoring to snare his son Harry. Archman. it appears. his millions made tn Chicago. has yielded to the importunities of his family—his wife, * daughters Nellie and Bessie (seventeen years old), and son Harry —and moved to New York in an endeavor to gain recognition by ■ the Four Hundred. They have not succeeded. Mrs. Archman is bitter over her failure, particularly mourning the fact that she j has not been “taken up" by a : Mrs. Van Kull. Archman orders Nellie to get ready for a long journey with him. He refuses to reveal their destination to his wife, declaring It is "not his secret.” Nellie tells Bess, she is tn love With James Carr, a youth ‘working on Archman’s ship El Rio.. She give* Bess a message for him. Archman and Nellie depart. Harry tells Bess of his determination to marry Edith Grant. Mrsr Archman receives a map with the explanation that It was among Morbach's papers, and suggesting she forward it to Mr. Archman. Lord George Caruthers, traveling Englishman, arrives at the Archman home, by invitation. He makes a good impression. Bess meets Carr and tells him = her sister’s message. She learns from him that "Edith Grant” is his sister. He say* he loves Nellie. Mrs. Archman takes Bess and Harry and Caruthers and sails w-itH Captain Bunker on the El Rio to meet her husband. A Miss Denslow. engaged as governess for Bess, and Akin, sail with the party. Captain Bunker has sealed orders. k|iss Denslow and Caruthers. It appears, have met before. They decide to keep it a secret. Bess finds a note urging her to warn Captain Bunker to guard his instruction* She thinks It a joke, but playfully warns the captain she will see them before he doe* CHAPTER Vlll——Continued Bess glanced up at the bridge where Captain Bunker’s form was outlined against the sunset. Then she turned back to Lord George, as If to speak. But the Englishman anticipated her. "That really was a bottle now!” he cried, “it was, T>on my word. Did you see it?” "Yes; I saw It.” Bess spoke shortly. Her vague suspicions suddenly flattened. “Jolly good shot. What?” “Yes; It was a good shot. Where do yod suppose those bottles came from?" “Where? Oh. I fancy somebody tossed them overboard up forward somewhere. Er—Captain Bunker musthave opened his Instructions. What?” Bess started. Undoubtedly that was the explanation of the change, of course. “I’ll go see!” she cried, and raced forward. Captain Bunker was on the bridge. If he saw Bess ascending the ladder to his perch, he showed »no signs of his perception. His broad back and Indeed his whole attitude was repellent. Almost Bess hesitated. Almost, but - not quite. Curiosity drove her on. “Captain V’ she said timidly. Captain Bunker turned. Hi* face was forbidding. “Miss Archman." he said coldly, “can I do anything for you?” Suppressed anger thrilled in his tones. ' Bess faltered. “No— nothing." she stammered. “1 only wanted to ask—ask whether you had opened the instructions yet?" She tried to make her tones light, but failed lamentably. What could be the matter? she wondered. “Yes: I haw opened them." Captain Bunker's face grew grimmer. Abruptly he turned upon the girl. “Miss Archman." he said, “when you threatened to see those instructions before I did. I thought you were joking. I did not dream that you would attempt to carry out so dishonorable a threat, or that you could succeed even If youdid attempt ft." “Why! I—l——I—Good gracious! I was joking, of course*" Beas’ face lengthened with dismay. “How dare you speak this way to me?” she burst out. “I fancy you know why." • Bitterness rang in Captain Bunker’s tones. “I do not know how you got into my safe. Miss Arch man” he said. “True, ft was old-fashioned. But I compliment yon on your extraordinary skill In opening It. Btit I cannot compliment you on your respect "or your father’* wishes or on your carefulness in hiding your tracks." The captain pinnged bls hand into his pocket and drew out bit of cambric. “Permit, me to return your handkerchief. Mias Arcbmau.” he said. “You left It In the broken drawer tn the safe.* Bess took the handkerchief. Her lips had grown quite white. Silently, she scanned ft. identifying it by the mark In the comer. Then she lifted her eyes to Captain Bunker. “This Is my handkerchief; Captain Bunker,” she said. She was very young and her heart was beating furiously, but she spoke with dignity. “It Is mine." she repeated, "but I have no Idea bow ft got into your safe. Certainly I did not .eavs it there. I did not open your safe. I didn’t even see your safe. I never dreamed ot violating my father's wishes.

Whom did you suspect?” “I don’t know.”' “You don't know whom you suspected?” “No; I don’t. Some one—l don’t know who—left a note in my stateroom asking me to warn you to be careful, that an attempt might be made to get at the papers. “I thought is was a hoax, but I warned you nevertheless. But my warning failed." “Bur who wrote the note?” “I don’t know. I found it on the dresser in my stateroom.” “But who left ft there? You must have some suspicion." Bess shook her head. “I haven’t an idea,’’ she said. “At first I thought it might be Harry trying to play on me. Now I don’t know what to think." “But you must -th ink! Listen to me. I opened the safe this afternoon. I unlocked the inner drawer and looked at the packet. It was secure, just as ft was when I put it there three days ago. I locked it up again. I locked the safe. I will swear to It. Half an hour ago I opened It again. The lock of the Inner drawer was broken. The packet had been opened and sealed up again neatly. .Your handkerchief lay beneath It If it had not been for the broken lock. I might not have noticed that-the safe had been entered and might not have thought anything of your handkerchief being there. But the lock spoke for itself.

. , ——- ; ‘ j . Creature of Mystery Found in Ant Colony

The moat mysterious personage la a colony of African driver ants is a creature perhaps an inch and a half iong and three-quarters of an inch high. It is not an ant. In fact, so far as science is concerned, says Prof. R. L. Garner in the Century magarine, It is a? yet unclassified. In comparison with the ants, continues Professor Garner, It Is enormous. The creature —there is only one to a colony—looks for all the world like a tiny elephant in a circus parade as it lumbers along In the rear part of the line of march. Its body is about as thick as your finger, and its legs are proportionately heavy and help to Increase the resemblance to aii elephant. There is always a bodyguard five or six deep round it as it marches. The thing is hardly a prisoner, for it has never been found staywhere except in a column of driver anta. What

“I guess he's the thief, in attei. to him. all right.” Captain Bunker jaws set themselves grimly. ( “Bu Fm afraid IPs too late to stop bin. from sending word to his employers T “His employers?” “Yes. Os course, he's not working for himself. He’s working for the peo pie who murdered that man Morbach and who stole the map. When they found that It didn’t tell where the ls« rland was, they sent it to your mother and then managed to follow her. There isn’t a doubt of it And — andl-—' Captain Btmker turned on his heel and pointed toward the northern horizon. now dark with the shadows of coming night “Look.” he said. “Probjahly you can’t see it, but that smoke yonder comes from a boat that has been hanging on my heels ever since we left New York. It is swift amazingly swift, and silent, amazingly silent. It comes without lights, once In so often a flash of sparks from its funnel betrays Its presence. It’s following ns, trying to find out where we are .going. And some scoundrelly spy on board of us is helping it. And—and" — Captain Bunker choked —“no doubt .he’s sent the information long ago.” Bess’ face wrinkled with perplexity. “But how could he send. It?” she questioned. “Probably in a bottle with a flag and with its cork rubbed with phosphorus. If he tossed enough of them overboard his masters wotild find .one." Bess’ face cleared. “Don't worry about bottles, captain.” she said consolingly. “Lord George has been sit-, ting at the stern all afternoon, break Ing them with rifle bullets." CHAPTER IX From the Tass rail. Dark fore and aft except for the tiny sheltered light that Illumined the compass, the El Rio steamed along southward. Captain Bunker was violating the most stringent rules of the sea, and was running no slight risk in his efforts to throw his pursuer off the track. Until the swift-paced tropic night descended, he had continued his west ward course, knowing full well that his change of direction must have been betrayed by the vessel’s smoke. Then, when darkness had screened his movements, he put out his lights and sped eight or ten miles southward; then turned and ran eastward for twenty miles or more; then veered to the southeast and ran on through the night. Whether he had thrown his pursuer off the track, he did not know. Once or twice he stopped his engines and listened, silently and Intently, without hearing any measured propeiller beat behind him. This, of course, was not conclusive, but it was encouraging. About midnight he stopped again—this time for longer than before. Orders for silence fore and aft were passed quietly through the ship, and the low hum from fo’castle and from, poop died away. For a time the kissing of the water glong the sides continued. then ft ended as the El Rl< - lost way. For perhaps five minute* the ship lay quiescent; then, abruptlj the screw began to revolve. The El Rio was off once more. Captain Bunker had been occupteu =not only by his efforts to throw the supposed pursuer off the track, but also by an attempt to discover the spy who had robbed the safe. This proved to be extremely difficult. Every one on board who might reasonably have been suspected of committing the robbery seemed to be above suspicion, and were able to prove a perfect alibi, into the bargain. Very speedily the captain demonstrated to his own dissatisfaction that the steward. James Price, whom he had first suspected, had been forward I with the men during the entire time available for the robbery. Evidently there is a spy on. board. Who is it? And what ship la following the El Rio? .. = ' (TO BE CONTINUED.) Fir*t Divorce Coart The first divorce court in England was Instituted in 1858. The court consisted of three judges. At the first sitting five marriages were dissolved, and in the first year of the court’s operation 38 divorces were granted out of 2bo petitions. From the time of the Reformation up to 1858 there bad beesi but 317 divorces in England, granted by acts of parliament Until the passing of the divorce act tn 1858 the theory in English law regardin* divorce was the same as that of th* Roman Catholic church, although Its practice this rule was not strictly adhered to, and wealthy and fnfluentiat persons, through parliament secured freedom from galling ties. The divorce act provided that the wronged husband could be released from hia obligation to an unfaithful wife, but gave no such recourse to an injured wife, unless the busband's offense in tills direction was aggravated by other at senses.

its sex b Is doubtful. Several of the driver ants were taken to Germany a few years ago and examined, but no important knowledge Was gained. Personally I have never captured one of the creatures, but I strongly suspect that it b really the queen of the colony. For in all species of the hyme& optera, which includes ants, the queen appears to be an anomalons creature, many times larger than the other members of the colony and always different in form. No Courting There Far centuries past it has been the custom in China for parents of a baby girt to betroth her, in infancy, to the youthful sob of a friendly couple, and there have been numerous cases tn which the girl has not seen her hus-band-to-be until she arrived at the home of ids parents for the marriage caeemony.
