CHAPTER XV.
The Great Discovery.
From the shore came a dull, moan-
ins sound, now rising, now falling, but
incessant, as if some gigantic animal,
stricken and suffering, was shrieking
the anguish of its death throes to the
solitudes of the keys and the waste
of waters round them. The fright-
ened birds took flight to the north to
escape the weird monotone, and the
timid animals of th« forest cowered
in fear; but the men of the island
looked at one another exultantly, with
mutual congratulations on the rapidity
of their work. The blast furnace
which was to cast the plates was be-
ing blown in.
Days and nights of unremitting toil
had followed that first landing; ma-
chine shops had been completely in-
stalled, power plants perfected, and
buildings for the men erected; addi-
tional supplies had been received;
and another gunboat, the Columbia,
augmented the patrol which itassed
ceaselessly round the keys, guarding
their secret and warning inquisitve
fishermen to avoid the waters; corps
of expert smelting men from the
mines of the west had joined the
colony—and all for this, the casting
of the first plate, which was to take
place this day.
In the assay rooms there had been
the constant testing of crude metals,
and apportioning them and discarding
those which were inferior. Trained
hands were those that worked over the
bucking boards and manipulated the
delicate scales which would register
the tiniest mark of a lead pencil with
as great accuracy as they would a
pound weight. Everywhere about the
plant were men who wrought with pre-
cision and interest, bound together in
the great enterprise until differences
in station were forgotten and all were
as a family praying for success.
"Old Hill" Roberts, assisted by his
daughter, had permitted no foot but
theirs to enter the room where his ap-
paratus was installed, and no hand
but theirs to touch its complicated
mechanism. With the love of a cre-
ator he had spent the last hours
fondling its cold, unresponsive parts
and adjusting it, and then stood and
watched, as a mother watches her
firstborn, the initial movements of the
great masterpiece which was a mys-
tery to all the world but him and
Norma.
Engineers and officers front all parts
of the plant, warned that the crucial
lest was at hand, gathered round the
door of the innermost room, until in-
vited in by the inventor, and then
slowly entered and found
the cherry stage to a dull pigeon
blue, and then suddenly burst Into a
gleaming mass of Iridescent white.
"Fusion!" one of the engineers
whispered to a man beside him. "He
has fused that plate In less time than
it could be done by any means I ever
heurd of. That is the way he meta-
morphoses his metal."
The rays died out, the apparatus
stopped its quivering, and the inven-
tor with hands claspetl behind him
stood intently watching the now cool-
ing metal. Within the laboratory all
was silence. From the adjoining
buildings came the regular sound of
hammers, and from somewhere off to-
wnrd the cabins a man's voice was
raised in a song of soldiery. The
sheet of metal lost its color and be-
came dark. "Old Hill" Roberts
pressed a button above his head, and
cooling sprays began dissipating them-
selves over the surface, sending up
brief splutterings and clouds of rapid-
ly diminishing steam.
"Gentlemen," she said, "the first ex-
periment is a failure!"
Those among them who had been
slightly skeptical smiled at one an-
other, while those whose belief had
been more firm looked sympathetical-
ly at this slip of a girl, who faced them
all In steady defiance, her trust in her
father, herself and their invention un-
shaken und unfaltering.
"You, Mr. Jenkins," she said, nil-
dressing one of the engineers, "are
yourself a scientist and an experi-
mentalist. You of all present know
how eusy it is for a tiny mistake to
rob delicate work of definite result."
There was a note of appeal in her
voice that reached them all.
As if with one accord they rushed
forward, grasping her hand and sur-
rounding her father, giving them
words of encouragement.
It was the gruff voice of the old
admiral which aroused them to re-
newed adieu "Pshaw, Hill: That's
nothing," he growled. "Here! We've
got more plates cast. Throw another
on, and give it a try-out. Wake up,
mau! Wake up! We've got to make
it go!"
Jenkins and two others rushed to the
adjoining room and brought in a sec-
ond slab of metal, and the old Inven-
tor, giving himself a shake us if pull-
ing back from the very vortex of de-
spair, with trembling hands placed the
sheet of insulation and made the new
connections with the plate.
"Norm," he almost whispered, "you
look it over and turn the current on
tills time. Somehow my eyes seem to
have gone back on me."
Again they watched from a dlstanco
(lie steady movements of the assistant,
who without a tremor threw on the
current, held it in leash, and directed
it as if within her hand she held the
clutch of a friend. Once more they
saw the metal cool, the sprays turned
on, and then came a dull, grinding,
riving sound, and a column of dust
"It's cool enough now to handle," he
said in an oddly constrained tone of I shot up into tlie air and bellowed out
voice, turning to the engineers, "and | over the room. They saw her fall

"Gentlemen," She Said, "the First Experiment Is a Failure
if some of you will help me carry it.
to the testing tank you may see me
prove the first plate on which hangs
the fate of our country."
In an awed hush of expectancy they
all volunteered; but only three men
were needed to hold it while it was
standing j attached to the great arms which were
places at a safe distance from the in-
tricate mass, whose polished knobs,
twisted bars and gleamin™ tubes
seemed to them a tangb I riddle.
Norma, garbed in the slained khaki
wrapper which she wore in the lab-
oratory at home, hovered here and
Ihere round the apparatus, lightly try-
ing an adjustment or closely inspect-
ing a joint, her face grave, calm, and
self-possessed. Her father, his thin
old face drawn into a scowl of con-
centration, busied himself likewise,
and made the final connections. So
■careful was he that he even inspected
ihe duplicate apparatus which stood
as a reserve at the other end of a
casting mold, but which it was not his
intention to use except in case of
emergency. Satisfied that all was in
readiness, he beckoned to two assis-
sartts, who trundled in the first com-
posite plate and deposited it in its
bed. He made the connection with
the electrodes in a few minutes' deft
work, and then straightened up and
looked about Ihe room, where all was
si ill and expectant.
The wondering engineers saw him
wave his daughter hack a short tlis-
to revolve it in tlie water and demon-
strate its resistance. The inventor
threw a switch, and the sheet, began tb
move. Before him was a dial, and be-
neath it a scale of friction pulls
showing the resistance offered by nor-
mal metal. He fastened his eyes on
the indicator with a look of strained
watchfulness. Slowly the needle
point swung round as the arms gained
the maximum of speed, and then it
came to a ;«nndstill, while a look of
doubt and perplexity crept over the
scientist's face.
"Norm," he called, huskily—
"Norm! Was everything all right?
Is everything working true?"
She took a step behind him, and
with a look no less worried than his
own stared at the dials indicating the
speed of revolution and the scale of
resistance. "Yes, father," she re-
plied. gently, "everything is all right."
She put her arm over his shoulder as
if to shield him. "But something
must have gone wrong somewhere
else. Come away now and let us think
it over."
She turned to the waiting officers
behind and looked them ealmlv in
tance as though fearing for her safety, j their faces, while the inventor, dazed
watched liini take a Imal look over his and uncomprehending, ran his lingers
appliance, and then throw a switch, j through his shock of white hair and
Brilliant streaks of purple, of unknown gazed at the telltale dials as if hyp-
ids and glaring whites, raced each j notized by two staring eyes.
hack unconscious as if from some ,
sudden shock, and instinctively sprang j
to her aid.
In mortal fear that some disaster I
had overtaken her, some unknown in-
jury from that apparatus whose i
voltage was as deadly as that which
sweeps through a murderer's chair, i
they picked her up and carried her
out into one of the draughting rooms j
and laid her limp form 011 a table.
Her father in a burst of terrible
anxiety tore open her corsage and
ran his hand over her heart. "She's
not dead!" lie whispered, hoarsely.
"She's been knocked out by a wild
current or something I don't under-
stand."
A long breath of relief encircled the
room. Not until she recovered con-
sciousness and sat weakly up was the
suspense mitigated.
"Feel better, little girl?" the old ad-
miral asked, and the others pressed
forward with solicitous inquiries.
She looked them for a moment,
regained her ■ ■ ntmI control, and an-
swered: "Yes, I'm all right now; but
don't mind me. What of the plate?"
They smiled at one another as it
dawned upon them that the plate had
been forgotten. It was manifestly tin-
fair that she of all others should not
share wilh them the first knowledge'
of hat had been accomplished; so
as u guard of honor they supported
her back to where the cruel agent
stood, and then one and ail started
back with exclamations of amazement.
The plate on which they were build-
ing their hopes had disappeared!
Where the insulated tank which held
it had reared its squatty length was
now a ragged hole in the floor, bor-
dered by the slivered ends of twisted
and shattered wood, and beneath this
was a yawning hole several feet deep,
broken electric wires, and the great
slab of metal.
Norma, as if the excitement of the
discover} had acted as a tonic, re-
leased herself from the supporting
arms, walked to the shining brass
structure, and leaned against it.
Brockton pulled oft his cap and
scratched his head In a puzzled way,
and Jenkins removed the glasses from
bis nose and began nervously polish-
ing them. The other engineers gaped
at each other, at the Inventor and then
back to the hole wherein to all appear-
ances was buried the thing on which
they had built all their hope. "Old
Bill Roberts stood by its edges, look-
ing down and examining the broken
wires, a picture of perplexity or de-
spair. Ho came back and crowded
through their midst, examining a con-
nection and tracing out one of the
strands, and then stood in listless at-
titude. his brows drawn Into a frown,
and his arms hanging loose and pendu-
!°" from bis shoulders. The time
stretched into minutes, and Jenkins
and Norma began a discussion, to
which tlie others listened, striving to
understand the phraseology of elec-
trical science, of which many of them
had little more than the layman's
knowledge. Suddenly a sharp cry
came from the inventor.
rhey looked to the other side of the
j room, whither he had retreated, and
beheld him jumping up and down like
a madman. His fists were clenched
and thrust Into the air, where they
opened clawlike and waved a tremolo
of excitement. "I've got it!" he
screamed. "I've solved li!"
They drew back from him, fearing
that failure had loosened his brain;
but li" rushed through the group, ex-
citedly calling for men to repair the
break. The admiral, unused to , his
periods of enthusiasm, stared at htm
blankly, his lower Jaw unconsciously
dropping until his mouth yawned in
cavernous suspense, in his mind
nothing but insanity could account for
this outburst.
Norma, 011 the other hand, laid a
restraining hand 011 his arm and said:
"Father, • what's the matter? What
Is it?"
"We've been working in the dark!"
he answered vehemently, and then
wilh the jubilation of a boy but in a
calmer tone continued: "By an ac-
cident we have discovered powers I11
our combination of electricity and
metallurgy that we have not dreamed
of, and which, if we can control them,
make the resistant armor we came
down here to manufacture as useless
as a wooden hull!"
The admiral suddenly dropped his
bulk to a stool. "Good God!" he
gasped, "are you mad?"
Norma, like one from whose eyes a
hoodwink lias been suddenly removed,
and appearing almost to have read her
father's mind, put her hand out to bis
shoulder and looked at him searching-
ly. A slow grin of great exultation
swept over the lean old face into
which she peered, drove the wrinkles
into the corners of the eyes, and a
mass of radiating furrows round the
mouth.
"You've guessed it," he said, and
then turned to the admiral. "Brockton,
you don't know what that hole meant;
but in an hour from now I'm going to
show you. That is, Norma, my as-
sistant, und I will."
Then in a sudden frenzy for work
he asked them all to leave until he
sent for them, and they, wondering
and speculating 011 his next endeavor,
obeyed. Only the workmen, who had
descended into the cavity and were
preparing to hoist the plate .and mold,
and the admiral, by special invitation,
remained. The clang of hammers re-
sounded hollowly through the room
as the timbers beneath the floor were
shored up by the carpenters; then
came the setting of another and lar-
ger tank than the one which had been
so unexpectedly driven into the earth.
The smaller plates which had been in-
tended only for experimental purposes
were exhausted, and therefore they
had nothing on which to operate save
two immense castings weighing many
tons. Wide sliding doors rolled back,
and workmen from the foundry, with
straining muscles and clinging toes,
slowly pushed in lov.'-wheeled cars on
which rested the huge pieces of metal.
A steel crane projected lis ungainly
arm, reached slowly down, and in a
Titanic grasp picked up one piece,
moved it into position over the new
bed, and deposited it in a great basin
whose material indicated that It would
be able to withstand any heat.
The admiral iu boyish exuberance
would have thrown wide the door; but
1 lie inventor, remembering the other
contretemps, forbade. The latter
busied himself for a few minutes In
his storehouse, and returned with a|
sheet of peculiar insulation which was
of his own invention, almost Inde-
structible by heat, and a resistant to
any form of radioactivity, which he
placed with great care on top of the
huge plate. The second plate was
lowered squarely on top of this,
clamped for additional security, and
the workmen dismissed. The connec-
tions were made in identically the
same way as in tlie previous test, ex-
cept that one electrical apparatus was
attached to the upper plate above the
Insulation and tile other to the one
beneath. Brockton, seeing that tho
currents were about to be applied,
backed off into tlie corner, until
stopped bv the farthermost partition

The Flores theater was a wooden
structure and over 1,000 people were
crowded into it 10 witness a special

ernor Damon Flores, of the state of
Guerreria. wh.1 was visiting the port
at the time. One of the numbers of
the program consisted of a series of
moving pictures. While the operator
was exhibiting these a film caught
tire and a blaze was quickly commu-
nicated to some hunting which had
been used for decoration purposes. In
an Incredibly short time the flames
spread to all parts of the structure.
There were but three narrow exits

way to escape with bodies.
The sr". *-:i 111.- of those imprisoned
were terrifying a,nil heart rending.
Owing to the rapidity with which the
lire spread Mid to its Intense heat, it
was impossible to attempt rescue
work and those imprisoned were lit
erally roasted alive as the fire burn-
ed with little smoke and few were
suffocated.
Many pitiful scenes of grief are
being enacted on the streets of the
Utile west coast port. Men. women
and children are wandering from
place to place hunting for relatives
01 friends. Many of the dead are
fiom the first families of the slate,
the affair at the theater being a social
event of considerable notice and callt
ing out the wealthiest and oldest
families for miles around.
In some instances entire families
were wiped out of 'existence. The
municipal authorities have caused
large trenches to be dug and in these
the remains of the dead were laid. Ac-
cording to messages received from
there any recognition of the dead was
an impossibility owing to the fact
that the bodies were burned in most
cases to a crisp, so hot was the fire.
Telegrams sent to the American
consul at Acapuleo by the Associat-

the American dead have as yet not
been replied to.

Miss Marjorle, aged five years, Is
one of those bright children who make
the lives of their parents and teach-
ers a burden. Quite recently she paid
her first visit, to a kindergarten. Upon
her return home she grew enthusi-
astic, begging her mother to allow
her to attend the school regularly.
"It was so very nice!" she declared
iweetly. "And the teacher, Miss Lee.
Is so very nice, too' She told me if
I was a good little girl I would grow
ap into a pretty lady, but if I was
naughty I would grow up an ugly
one!"
"That is quite true, dear," her moth-
er answered with a smile.
Silently Miss Marjorle regarded the
fire of pine logs. Presently she burst
out: "Then what a naughty, naughty
little girl Miss Lee must have been."
