"Donald Paget!" cried the elderly
man, grasping him by the hand. "Ex-

In-otflce will be the death of the repub-
lic one of these days. I have Just
j been trying to see the secretary on a
; matter affecting not only America—In
which case his Indifference would not
surprise me—but the entire human

j me?"
I "I am Inclined to think that you got

"Right, sir!" exclaimed Masterman,
| beginning to grow angry again. "And
If I were not a man of superhuman
J patience, combined with inexhaustible
tact, singular clarity of mind, and te-
l oacity of purpose—in fact, an obstl-
! nate old mule—I should let the human
j race go hang!"
I Lieutenant Paget took the irate old
I man by the arm. "I wouldn't do thnt,
captain," he said, smiling. "Come and
tell me all about It, and let us see
whether we cannot devise some means
pf saving the race. You see, now that
the navy department is so busy on ac-
count of the war, perhaps a little leni-
ency with its shortcomings might be
in order, eh?"
"The war? What war?" demanded
Masterman.
"Why, our few words with the Ger-
mans, Masterman."
"What's that? War with the Ger-
mans? You don't mean to tell me we
are at war with Germany?"
"Do you mean to say you don't
know that America and Germany are
at war?" demanded Paget incredu-
lously.
"No, sir! And, what's more, It
doesn't interest me. How the deuce
should I know all the gossip and frivol-
ities of the day when I only returned j
to the capital yesterday?"

That was the end of Captain Man-
trrman'a activities no far aa the *..*

tervlew the aecretary of the navy had
aald to hint:
"Personally I believe In you. Mna-

The secretary's confession duly ap-
peared In a newspttpcr article, and the
eartoonlst Illustrated It with a draw-
ing showing him as a sea serpent with
three heads. In the course of his ex'
planatlon, Masterman consigned the
entire staff of the navy department to
that place where brimstone Is unmodi-
fied with molasses.
That ended the secretary's career#
and It would have ended Masterman's
If his had not been ended already.
After that the old man became
known as a bore who buttonholed pub
lie men and tried to Induce them to
subscribe to the titling out of a new
deep-sea exploration expedition. For
years he haunted the lobbies of the
capitol and the clubs, growing more
dogged and obstinate and vituperative
as he met with disappointment after

Then, when his case seemed hope-
less, he had succeeded in interesting

However, he suffered his companion

along the street, while the lieutenant,
firmly convinced that his old friend
| was mad, held him by the arm tightly
and listened to the captain's disjointed
: mutterings in the hope of discovering
the nature of his delusion.
Donald Paget had known Captain
Jonathan Masterman when he was at
Annapolis, where the old man, who
had once been a quartermaster In the
navy, held a subsidiary position on the
instructors' staff. The acquaintance
had continued intermittently. Master-
man had risen in life uutll he obtained
the command of a ship fitted out. part-
ly by private subscription, partly with
the aid of a government subsidy, for
the purpose of deep-sea exploration.
In this and subsequent expeditions
he had made a name for himself by
the remarkable nature of his discov-
eries. He had discovered the prolon-

ence had unhinged his brain. Lieu-
tenant Paget had always known Mas-
terman to be a natural eccentric, but
never before had he talked like this
about the safety of humanity, and
some awful and imminent danger
which only he could avert. The lieu-
tenant could see that the old man's
cheeks were sunken; his eyes were
wild, and under his long coat the
