MOf course I love ynu" lie responded
Badly. Somehow his henrt was utterly
overcast; It wns as If ho hnd looked
into the fnee of Immortal beauty. "Of
course I love you. Won't you try to
sleep Ma?" he ns'sed.
"Yes" Blie nnswered releasing her-
self. "But you don't love me Don-
aldI know I"
And slowly she withdrew into her
cabin Iculng Donnld n prey to Intense
bewilderment and despair.
Who was she this almost Invisible
beauty' Hud she followed him here
ibonrd the ship or swimming behind
the submarine? Was she another spe-
cies of the sea devils?
Suddenly for the first time since
their conversation he recalled Master-
man's wonls:
"I brought my specimen homo with
me. Think of that lad I She didn't
want to cat. They don't eat nfter they
nro mature Donald."
Now It came to Donald with convic-
tion that the old captain had had ref-
erence to this woman I
And straining his eyes through tho
darkness ho snw her ngaln.
Cut this time there was vlslblo upon
ber face an expression so pitiful that
It almost brought the tears to Don-
ald's eyes.
She wns watching him with n dumb
yearning of Incxprcsslblo pnthos. That
look reminded Donnld of the old log-
end of the mermaid who could obtain
a soul only from some human lover.
An Idea came to him. IIo would go
op Into the conning tower; In that nar-
row space he could sco her better and
anderstnnd whnt shu wns.
But as he stood In tho passage nt
tho bottom of tha trapdoor Clouts ap
peared before him. It occurred to
Donald afterward that he hnd been
there for n considerable time.
"It's all right sir J" said Clouts.
Tou told mo to call you when you wns
to go on duty and It's nil right."
"What's all right?" demanded Don-
ald. "It's nil right sir. I understand such
things" said Clouts.
"Clouts what tho devil arc you talk-
Ing about?" ' i
. "It's all right sir" replied Clouts
for the third time pointing before him.
And In tho passnge not more than
a dozen feet away Donald saw thu
woman's fonn.
Ills anger vanished. IIo took tho
enllor by tho arm.
"Clouts" ho said "do you supposo
wo could get her Into tho conning
tower?"
"I don't know sir" said Clouts
shaking his head. "If sho's willing to
go sir. Thnt's tho question sir."
"Clouts" Donald's volco sank to n
whisper "you must understand thnt
this Isn't a woman nt least not n
human one. Sho's she's "
"Quito so If I might say so or there-
abouts" said Clouts.
"And do you think you could get
her there?"
Clouts scratched his head. "I sup-
poso so sir" ho nnswered. "Hut she'd
Imvo to como out again you know."
"That's what I Intend" said Donald
desperately. "Back Into tho water
through the airlock."
"Push her In sir?"
"Lend her In Clouts. ' Put on my
coat and let her follow you. Then
when you've got her Inside put on tho
Host diving dress and seo that she
that she doesn't como back. I don't
mean you to hurt her. She can live
under the wnter you know. And
while you're about it Clouts you
might sco If you can adjust the rud-
der." For a moment Clouts nnd his cap-
tain looked hard Into ench other's
eyes. Then Clouts' grim fnco softened.
Putting his hnnds to his pocket ho
drew out his mouth organ and tho
soft strains of "Annlo Itooney" went
up Into tho nlr. Clouts played It
through with quiet resolution.
"I'll do It sir" he snld.
Donald turned and saw that tho
woman of the sen stood exactly where
she had been throughout that Inter-
view. She had not stirred.
He waited wbllo Clouts found tho
last diving suit In tho storeroom and
then tho two went back Into tho mess-
room. Presently Clouts emerged en-
cased in his cylinder and holding tho
glass mask In his hand. About his
shoulders ho woro Donald's coat. Don-
ald waited within.
Ho heard tho conning tower trnp-
door close and after that ho could
bear nothing. Ho waited an Indefinite
time. Suddenly a soft splnshing of wa-
ter told him that the lower levels of
tho sea were being agltnted by tho
condensed oxygen In tho airlock. There
followed silence. Tho sounds wero
cut off abruptly and for u long time
Donald waited.
nis nerves wero so tenso that when
Clouts opened tho door ho started vio-
lently. He peered Into tho sailor's
face.
"I've dono It sir" said Clouts. "She
followed roe like like a dog sir. And
I saw her eyes whon I pushed her into
tho water and I don't want to seo a
look like that again. It felt llko mur-
der sir."

grlly. "You know perfectly well
Clouts that she wasn't ou board when
wo started. Therefore she must have
come In with us from tho sen bottom."
"I know sir" snld Clouts slinking
bis head mournfully. Then unable to
control himself he clapped his hand
to his mouth orgnn.
And Donnld wnltcd alone sleepless
while tho dreary night wore on.
CHAPTER XII.
Afloat and Ashore.
IIo must have fallen Into n light doze
nt Inst for he awakened to find Davles
nt his side. The middy's voice cleft
the thick darkness like a knife.
"We're done for old man 1" he whis-
pered. "We'd better not uwaken her.
Listen I"
Heretofore no sound from without
had penetrated the thin plates of the
submnrlne but now Donnld distinctly
henrd n cracking noise ns If some
pressure wero being exerted ngnlnst
the sides of tho vessel.
"We're breaking tip sir."
"You mean ?"
"It's thnt gnng of devils Donnld. Do
you mind letting mo grip your nrm n
minute sir? It's In n wny disturbing."
Tho sounds grow louder. The plates
wero groiinlng under pressure nnd It
seemed every Instant that the rivets
would stnrt nnd the wnter rush In.
"It's tho weight of tho ocenn over
us Dnvles" said Donald without the
faintest faith In this dlngnosls
"But this pressure is horizontal not
vertical Donnld. And water has no
horizontal pressure nt nil."
Donnld wns silent. IIo would not
volco what wns In his own mind b"-
ho knew thnt his explanation was non
sense meant to deceive not only Dn-
vles but himself nlso. The sen mon-
sters must bo pushing ngnlnst tho bot-
tom of tho F55. to brenk her by their
own weight nnd get at their prey with-
in. Mnddencd by hunger In those bnr-
ren solitudes of dnrkness they were
a frenzied nrmy of destruction.
Ho wondered whether Clouts' net
was In any wny tho cause of this new
activity.
Tho prcssuro Increased. Tho steel
plates crackled ns trees snnp In zero
weather. '
Donnld looked up nnd saw Ida
standing In the doorwny.
"Is anything wrong?" sho asked
coming forwnrd to Donnld.
Ho could not answer her and sho
did not repeat tho question but stood
Looking Over the Rocks They Saw a
Man In a Large MotorboaL
looking Intently nt tho two men who
watched ench other. It was Impossible
that Mn could help understanding tho
meaning of tho sounds without.
She cnnio close to Donnld. "Forgive
mo for whnt I snld dear" sho whis-
pered clinging to his nrm. "I wns so
afraid not of death dearest but of
tho loneliness In that room. I was
afraid for you."
Ho patted her arms without speak-
ing nnd led tho way to tho conning
tower ngnln. It wns piefernblo that
they should die. If they must by suf-
focation rather than In tho maw of
tho monsters. Inclosed within thoso
stout walls of steel they could nt least
hopo to find a perpetual tomb there.
Tho prcssuro was still Increasing.
The floor of tho conning tower begun
to tilt. Surely this wns tho end I
But tho floor righted tilted righted
onco more. A senso of movement suc-
ceeded thnt of pressure. Then to
their utter nmazement n white light
shot through the observation port
flooding the Inside of tho conning
tower nnd the Ff5 scraped the rocks.
Donnld grasped at Dnvles. "Dnvles I
Wo nro at tho surface again 1" ho cried.
There was no doubting It. Tho
moonlight flooded tho interior of the
tower and before their eyes seen
through tho port wero tho rugged out-
lines of Fair Island. Tho monsters
must have raised tho submarlno by tho
united forco of their massed bodies.
"This tlmo" snld Donald "wo ore
going ashoro to stay."
"Amen I" said Davles solemnly and
the t.yce grasped hands.
1
A few moments Inter they emerged
upon the drying deck of the DKi. She
wns back in her old position upon the
shelving beach nt the very edge of the
waves. Tho moon which rode high
In the sky was already paling before
the Increasing luster of the dnwn.
"Where's Clouts?" asked Donald
suddenly.
"Isn't ho below?" queried Dnvles.
Donnld raised bis voice nnd shouted.
Ho ran below calling for Clouts. But
there came no nnswer. It soon beenmo
evident that Clouts was not on the
submarine.
"Good Lord!" enld Donald.
It occurred to him then that ho hnd
told Clouts to lock nt the rudder but
he hnd never supposed that tho mnn
would be nblo to adjust IL Had he
forgotten gono back to ndjust It and
failed to return?
Ho took n couple of revolvers and
gave one of them to Davles. They
went ashore. Tho Arm rocks under-
foot seemed the most delicious part of
their strange fortune nnd gnvo reality
to whnt wns still hnrdly more than a
dream.
They knew thnt there wns no danger
of attack In tho moonlight. Neverthe-
less they remained near the boat. And
each of them culled for Clouts firing
his revolver nnd listening for ny re-
sponse. But there wns no response. It wns
evident thnt for some renson un-
known Clouts hud gouo Into the sea.
They went to n cave nnd began to
mnko a quick examination of It. In
tho midst of this work n whirring
sound came to their cars. It was thnt
of n gns engine.
Looking over the rocks they snw a
mnn in n lnrgo motorbont hurrying
round tho promontory. Donnld hailed
him with a yell. Thero came no an-
swer but the boat continued to inako
toward them.
Tho man In tho bont raised his head.
It was MacBcard. He stopped the en-
gine nnd lny to nbout n couple of hun-
dred ynrds nwny. Ho drew a hand-
kerchief from his pocket and waved It.
"Tho d n rogue 1" muttered 'Do-
vies raising his revolver.
It wns Indeed Professor MncBdard.
And he appeared distressed. At least
ho flew the distress or parley sJnid
nnd his movements seemed altogether
more ngltnted and his demennor less
blnnd than on tho preceding after-
noon. Whatever his nocturnal work hnd
been It seemed to have been cut short
.y the dnwn which hnd driven tho
monsters to seek shelter In the ocean
depths. He seemed to have como from
the other side of the Island.
"Truce I" he seemed to shout al-
though tho sound echoing from rock
to rock wns not clearly audible.
"Trued" Ho waved the hnndkcrchlef
frantically.
Donald nnd Dnvles flred together.
They snw the bullets strike the water.
MacBeard crouched down behind the
engine. There could bo no parleying
with such ns he.
They emptied their weapons In their
fury. MncBenrd wns Just out of
range. He started tho engine again
nnd enmo to n hnlt fifty ynrds further
nt sea.
"Truce I I want to speak to you"
ho yelled.
They aimed their empty revolvers.
MacBeard started for safety. His
bont disappeared round n distant point
of the Inland. '
"Tho devil 1" snld Donnld. Then h!
turned to Dnvles.
"We'll teko on supplies at any rate"
ho said. "One thing is sure: those
devils might raise the submnrlne but!
they enn never sink her onco tho tanks
are blown."
"They wero blown when wo sub-
merged sir" nnswered tho middy.
"Tho deflected rudder kept us down
But wo can't go down unless wo try
to stnrt her."
"Miss Kennedy 1" Donnld cnlled to
Idn who hnd dlsnppcnred within tho
envc.
Sho did not answer him nnd tho
two men nppronched to summon her.
But Just within tho envo they saw
something thnt revived for n moment
tho old horrors which they hnd
escnped. They wero two human skele-
tons with fragments of clothing near
them. Donald stooped nnd picked up
a morsel.
"Khaki government khnkll" he
snld. "I wonder who "
But the explnnntlon beenmo too ob-
vious when projecting from behind a
rock nenr by they snw the wing of an
nlrplnne. Tho missing aviators hnd
been found. And tho mnnner of their
death wns only too clear. They must
have been seized whllo sleeping bj(
tho sea devils.
Tho airplane which wns of the
hydroplnno type had evidently been
drawn within tho cave and left there
by the nvlntors. A hasty cxnmlnntlon
showed DonHld thnt It wns uninjured.
Perhaps MacBcard had Intended to
inako use of It ; or It was posslblo thnt
he hnd not seen It for It was hordl;
distinguishable among tho shndows.
"Miss Kennedy I" cnlled Donnld
"Ida I Where are you? Don't go too
fori"
No answer came and they began r
grow uneasy.

la of importance.
If you are concerned now with the
selection of nn Incubator you have the
choice of many reliable mnkes. Since
It Is not ndvlsuble to recommend any
particular machine you would best
study the types and decide for your-
self. Wherever possible It Is well to
select an Incubator which has given
satisfaction In your locality so thnt
you may get the benefit of tho experi-
ence of other operators near by. Soma
machines hnvo become popular In cer-
tain sections of the country because
they were advertised extensively In
that section rather than because of
adaptability to tho climatic conditions.
Don't Buy Cheap Machine.
Cheap machines are less reliable re-
quire more attention and wear out
much quicker thnn higher-priced Incu-
bators. As the value of the machine Is
small compared to the value of the
eggs used during the normal life of the
Incubator It Is poor economy to pur-
chase n machine that Is not reliable.
Tho details of construction and
equipment of most Incubators ure so
subject to change thnt It Is Impossible
to state definitely the best kind of
lumps brackets regulators and other
equipment for the different Incubators.
Tho lamp should have a bowl large
enough to hold sulllclent oil to burn at
lenst 30 hours under average weather
conditions ; It should be ensy to remove
and replace nnd set absolutely tight In
position. The incubator should be set
so that thu lump Is at u convenient
height and the egg tray convenient to
bundle.
Size of Machine to Get.
The best 'stzo of an incubator to buy
depends upon circumstances. It takes
about us much time to euro for u GO
HOW TO HELP INCUBATOR.
Follow tho manufacturer's di-
rections In setting up and oper-
ating nn Incubator.
See thnt the Incubator Is run-
ning stendlly nt the desired tem-
perature before tilling with eggs.
Do not ndd fresh eggs to n tray
containing eggs which are under-
going Incubation.
Turn the eggs twlco dally af
ter tho second and t.ntll the
nineteenth day. Cool tho eggs
onco dally according to the
weather from tho seventh to the
nineteenth day.
Turn tho eggs before caring
for the lamps.
Attend to thu machine careful-
ly ut regular hours.
Keep the Inmp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh
nnd fourteenth days.
Do not open tho machine nfter
tho eighteenth dny until the
chickens nro hatched.

SELLING HENS NOW MEANS
LOSS OF EGG MILLIONS.
To effect n saving of 150000.-
000 eggs for the food supply In
the United States poultry spe-
cialists of tho United Stntes De-
pnrtment of Agriculture ure
mnklng every effort to encourage
farmers to keep their hens until
nfter tho spring laying season
rather thnn send them to market
at this time. Figures compiled
by the specialists show that
more thnn 5000000 hens ench
capable of producing 30 eggs on
nn average nro sent to market
from the southern stntes nlone
In the winter nnd enrly spring.
Tho "Save-the-Hen" message Is
being sent by the Department
of Agriculture brondenst through
press notices and posters nnd
through Its county agents espe-
cially In tho southern poultry-
raising sections where the prac-
tice is more common.
ns It does for n 300-egg machine so
that It Is generally ndvtsable to get one
of nt lenst 150-egg cnpnclty although
special conditions often exist which
mnko smaller mnchlnes valuable. A
small machine is often used in con-
nection with n lnrgcr one placing nil
the eggs In tho lnrgo machine nfter the
first or second test. Incubators of
from 300 to 400-egg capacity are gen-
erally used on thoso large farms which
use Individual lamp Incubators. Many
poultrymen believe that It pays to have
nn Incubator capacity large enough to
hatch tho bulk of their stock In two
or three batches so that much tlmo Is
saved In tending to the Incubators nnd
brooders whllo the chickens are more
even In size thnn those thnt nre hutch-
ed when the Incubating period extends
over a longer time. A fair estimate
for n poultry farm Is an Incubator
spneo of one-egg cnpnclty per hen pro-
vided thnt about one-hnlf of the flock
Is to bo renewed yearly nnd no outside
hatching Is cnrrled on. The lurger
mnchlnes cost less In proportion to
their capacity than the smaller ones.
February March nnd April nre tho
best months to batch chickens but
the sooner it can be done the better.
Hatching should bo completed If pos-
sible by the first of May. Chickens
hatched before this time will hnvo n
good chnnco to mature and be In lay-
ing condition ns pullets before the cold
weather of fall sets In nnd should
In consequence be producers during
the entire full nnd winter. This Is one
of the chief rensons poultry specialists
of the United Stntes Department of
Agriculture nro urging thu importance
this yenr of the enrly hatch. Early
hatched chickens nre also easier to
raise ns they live nnd thrive better
than those which arc still small when
the hot weather begins.
To bo successful with sitting hens
requires careful and faithful attention
to their needs nnd above all pntlcncc.
Even with the best of caro some hens
prove to be fickle mothers and cause
troublo and loss In hatching by break-
ing their eggs leaving their nests or
trampling on tho chickens when first
hatched. Most hens of tho general-
purpose breeds such as the Plymouth
Bocks Wyandottes Rhode Island Beds
and Orpingtons make very good moth-
ers. The heavier class or meat breeds
Including the Brahmas and Cochins
ore good sitters but nre Inclined to
he clumsy on tho nest. The Leghorns
and other Mediterranean breeds are
very nervous and usually do not tanks
good mothers.

CLEANING THE MEDICINE CLOSET
The medical temperance department
of the National W. C. T. U. has been
no small factor In cleaning Uncle Sam's-
medicine closet. Tho superintendent:
of this department Mrs. Mnrtln M. Al-
len of New York thus describes tho
process : .
"When we started In to clean the-
medlclno chest of tho grent United
States the chest was n dreadful sight.
Whisky port wine sherry wine beer to-
give strength brandy nnd gin for cer-
taln ailments nil stood in proud array
on prominent shelves.
"To nttempt to clean up such n medl-
clno chest was n task sulllclent to ap-
pall stout hearts. But n few bravo-
souls said the task should bo done nnd
gradually surely the cleaning has been
going on. Some of tho best physicians;
of tho country nlded in the task. Soon
the whisky bottle for tho consumptive
wns thrown nwny then tho brandy for
tho typhoid fever pntlent. Beer and
wine were swept off the shelf by thb
nld of nthlctcs who hnd proved thnt
these drinks wenken Instead of giving
strength. Whisky for pneumonia was
the next to go nnd flnnlly the American
Medical association swept off the last
remaining bottle of alcohol as unneces-
sary In the treatment of nny disease."
GENERAL PERSHING ON PROHI-
BITION. In 'an address before the National
W. C. T. U. convention Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw gnvo direct testimony
ns to the nttltude of General Pershing-
on prohibition.
"I had the pleasure of meeting this
great hero last spring In San Antonio
Texas" she said. "The citizens gave
mo n banquet nnd nmong tho honored
guests wns General Pershing. When
lie wns culled on for n tonst tho great
leader of the nrmy stood up and pro-
nounced himself n confirmed believer
In the enfranchisement of women nntl
In prohibition. After he hnd taken
his sent nnd the program hnd been
concluded General Pershing wns told
by some of his Texas friends "Prohi-
bition is nn unpopular subject In
Texns. We are not In favor of It."
tho general replied 'So long as I
nm nt the head of the array I shall
speak of prohibition.' 'But go slow
in this matter' they said. General
Pershing responded 'I shall not go-
slow on prohibition for I know whnt
Is tho greatest foe to my men great-
er even than the bullets of the en-
emy.'" '
BRIEF AGAINST LIQUOR.
The Union club of Cincinnati recent-
ly put out the following "brief :"
The inw says: That the liquor
traffic has "no inherent right" to exist.
The courts : -That drink is largely
the cause of crime and pauperism.
Physicians: Thnt drink Is the chief
cause of disease.
Business: thnt drink produces In-
competency and lnefllclcncy.
The home: Thnt drink destroys
happiness nnd prosperity.
Thu school : That drink Is the great-
est enemy of cducntlon.
The church : Thnt drink Is the chief
foe to religion.
Motherhood : Thnt drink poisons
tho very fountnlns of life.
Economy: That drink wnstes food
and robs labor.
Conservation : That drink Is always
destructive never constructive.
Patriotism : That drink has disqual-
ified a largo percentage of tho young
men cnlled to the colors and as Gen.
Leonard Wood says "Is tho soldier's
worst enemy."
THE CIVILIAN ARMY AS IMPORT-
ANT AS THE SOLDIER ARMY.
Tho sale of liquor to tho soldier In
training In the United Stntes has been
forbidden so thnt ho may bo strong
nlert steady-handed always ready
working with esprit de corps. At ev-
ery essential point there Is exactly tho
same reason for abstinence from liquor
by tho civilian. Tho men who mlno
conl make munitions cloth uniforms
shoes ships run trains and steamers
or supervise nny nspect of business
llfo nre Just as much a part of the wnr
machinery as the soldier. The scien
tifically demonstrated effects of nlco-
hol are not peculiar to tho soldier.
Mont of these results in fact havo
been secured In tests on civilians.
PROHIBITION A PART OF GREAT
PLAN.
Slowly Bteadlly undeterred and un-
frightened tho movement upon tho
strongholds of John Barleycorn has
gono forwnrd. To call It u wave of
prohibition is a weak figure. It has
been more like one of those Incxorablo
changes which group under evolution.
There has been no more staying it than
holding back tho grinding unhurrying
and unsntlsfled forces of erosion. De-

WHAT JEFFERSON SAID.
Tho habit of using ardent spirits by
men in ofllco has occasioned more In-
Jury to tho public nnd more trouble
to mo than all other sources. And
were I to commence my administra-
tion again the first question I would
ask respecting a candidate for olUco
would be "Does he use ardent spir-
its?" Thomas Jefferson.
Alcohol by diminishing tho moral
and material strength of the army Is u
crime against nntlonnl defense In the
