if you like to take her to locui district officer a gamblingden they had been strolling leisurely through the native quarter stopping at innumerable stores and purchasing an inordinate quantity of perfectly useless articles they halted pres ently before a long building from which at intervals came bursts of tered tho glass chimney of the swing- crudtelycolored pictures without frames the whole atmosphere throb bed with feverish activity the rat- tling of dice and spasmodic inarticu late grunts that she could not decide whether intended for signs of pleasure or despair there were clerks in white duck native overseers in greasy suits coolies with broadbrimmed hats of plaited cane and wearing only loin cloths a chinaman wearing enormous hornrimmed spectacles sat at the far end of a big table before what appeared to be the inverted halves of cocoanut shells whenever these were lifted there arose a repetition of the discordant babel she had heard as they approached- all along both sides orientals of every class and distinc tion thronged the rocking forms every now and then a man rose seemingly emotionless and left the table monica the novelty of this strange scene holding her enthralled allowed her gaze to wander round the room presently it fell upon the form of an oriental in a suit of greasy blue whose face seemed peculiarly familiar every time a player from the top va cated a seat this enthusiastic gambler moved into it in this manner getting gradually nearer to the man with the hornrimmed spectacles who manipu lated the shells presently he looked up at the swinging oil lamp and monica uttered a little cry in spito of the elaborate disguise there was something in the set of the mobile mouth something in tho poise of the shoulders that betrayed him she found her lips forming the words chinese pennington a moment later and he had reached the apparent zenith of his desire his elbow touched the sleeve of the man who presided but his eyes were star ing straight before him at an enor mous chinaman who sat opposite both hands resting oa the table the fingers slightly closed for some reason that she could not quite define a mental picture began forming in her mind a picture that the vividness of penningtons descrip tion had impressed on her memory- she saw a glade in the nightshrouded jungle wastes a huddled form with a long knife protruding from between hunchedup shoulder blades and he who sees in the dark struggling for dear life in the matted undergrowth her vivid imagination had already established the identity of the man who now faced the hero of her ro mance behind her she heard dawson srtike a match and puff strenuously at his pipe- and then through the nebulous smokehaze the three prin cipal figures at the top end of the long table stood out in bold relief from the surging background of neg ligible supers in a moment of time the thing hap pened vthe man opposite pennington slid a yellow hand toward the china man in the horn spectacles as if try ing to pass him the something over hich tho powerful fingers were closed like a flash penningtons arm shot out sending coins clinking to the dusty boards scattering little heaps of papermoney like autumn leaves in a sudden gust swift as the movement had been tho action of the listless oriental who presided was quicker the mysterious package wrapped in a broad green leaf secured by strands of twisted bamboo van ished into some hidden pocket beneath the widesleeved jacket a score of swarthy forms leaped to their feet and pennington was lost to view in a writhing swaying circle nbove which flashed a forest of naked blade wed better get out of this said dawson at monicas elbow as his arm slipped through hers she cast one last glance into the seeth ing den the circle dissolved into the form of an irregular horseshoe she saw the central figure stagger back the hom spectacles slipping from his face saw the long arm of tho power fullybuilt oriental

engineer of the new swltchgear plant of tho general elec- trlo company at philadelphia in charge of the high toltage testing of circuit breakers where arcs of arti ficial lightning at from fifteen to twen ty feet are played over apparatus to make sure there are no defects and that it will withstand conditions when put into service out in the open la natural lightning areas shooting a million volts into circuit breakers to thoroughly thebt them before leaving the factory is not mere guess work the fundamentals are based on studies made in the companys laboratories field observations and the classic work of the late dr stelnmeti mr spurck said if you reside on the top of a hill with no trees about you are in a comparatively perilous position such a house is likely to bo struck once every 100 years but if you live in the average city home with houses of equal height about you lightning is apt to single you out about once every 1000 years as for the residents in the house perched upon the hill the chance is one in several million that they will be struck by the bolt that comes once every 100 years the bolt might tear up the roof or even set it aflre but likely would get no closer to you it would encounter the eleotrlc houso wiring and would be carried impotent to tho ground or it would hop onto the plumbing system sd docilely speed off into the earth tho safest place in your

stand between two metal objects such as a heating radia tor and the plumbing pipes tibere is nothing wrong with the superstition that bed is a safe place in the modern steel office building lightning cant even get the roof most roofs of such buildings are metal and are purposely brought in contact at some point with the steel framework and this circuit absorbs and carries off any lightning that may chance to shoot down perhaps the question ot the efficacy of lightning rods has never been fully settled in the public mind lightning rods are now to be seen chiefly in the country there is a
