But before she had accomplished the feat Alf, growling like an angry mastiff, spring to the door and Nor- n>an utte-rcd a cry of dismay. Tor a waft of acrid mnokc Ivad drifted into the room and fro^ii be tow there reached them the crackle of flaniee. "He's done us!" said Alf. "My fault for beiivjT 8<yft hearted.

If be have been started without his sianc- tion, and murderers don't squirt elec- tricity on their guilty secrets." " "What had we better do?" aald Mr. Colne feebly. "Why, join the crowd and probe the mystery," said Wragge. So it was that they advanced into the beam projected by the Amphibian Syndicate's apparatus, incidentally so frightening "Miss Maud Blair" that in ner sudden start she canted over the millwheel on which she was pos*d and got herself jammed by it against the masonry of the dam. Unconscious her that they eettled. Their poiitzled g«ze pawed John Grime* and fixed, the rigih* honorable gentleman who was so very, very gently being com- pelled by Inspector Wragge to toe the mark- "Hullo, Stevel " she sighed. How aire ywo, old boy? It's nice of you to come and see mo die. Sympathy's better than money when you've go^ to take your l««t call. Oh, my poor side!" Fw the fraction of a second the pre«8ure of Inspector Wvagge'si hand on Mr. Oolne's arm was not quite so gentle, but it relaxed immediately. The lady ought not to lie out here," said the detective with authority. How about taking her to that cot- tage?" "Seeing as she's my darter that's where I'm going to take her," said John Griimcs through his clenched teeth, and picking up the limp form as though it were a feather, he bore It in his strong arms toward the red blind at the other side of the clearing. Mr. Fabian Wommersley and his eate^ lites trailed behind. Wragge appeared to hesitate for a moment and then, without referring to the queer words uttered by the in- jured woman to his illustrious com- panion, he steered the latter toward the cottage. Mr. Ctolne's lips were twitching, but he also ignored the fa- miliar modte of address adopted' to- ward him by one with whom he had •juft disavowed a previous acquain- tance. It may be that he held it be- neath his dignity to notice seriously whftt might have been only the babble of delirium. Wragge halted on the fringe of the cinema people clustered at the cot- tage door- Again a brief indecision seemed to master him, and it was with an air of reluctance that he at last released the statesamn's arm. "If you will wait hei-e, sir, I won't keep you a minute," he said. "Then we will resume the matter of procuring evidence against Sir Dudley Glenr ister." Wragge pushed his way through Wommersley's men and, passing Into the cottage, entered the living room, where "Miss Blair" had been laid on a horse-hair couch.

The two men looked at her with awe. In the hour of her own extremity, while a furnace raged in the one exit from the mill and death was very near to her, she could only llvink of the vengeance she had striven so hard to win and yet hoped might fall- "I'm glad you feel like that, Miss," said Alf, with a note of restrained admiration blendled with pity. "It'll make what's coming to you come easier." Then he ran out on to the landing an<l peered oa'er the rotting balu.v trade down the well of the staircase. The pungent fumes nearly choked him. "The only chance," he coughed and ran back into the room. CHAPTER XXVr. THE HEHOIS.M OF MR. COLKE. We parted from Inspector Wragge and Mr. Stephen Colne as they start- ed from Colnhrook Towers to walk through the woods to tho clearing, where the statesman had promiped the detective evidence of Sir Dudley's guilt, and it has been shown that Ihese two men, each eminent in his own calling, reached their de.stinatiHm at the critical moment when Mr. Fa- bian Wonimei-sley's ele<'lric npparutUvS had been turned on. The pedestrians halted at the un- expi^ied sight, Wragpe casting a .side- k)i .; glance at his companion as if to tTM^^e sure that it wa-s as great n sitr- pri.s'? to Mr. Colne as It was to him- self. "A qiifer go," Kiid the inspector thou)'litfully "Is this what you brx^uj'ht me alonp for, sir?" "He's done us," »;aid Alf. "My fault for being soft-hearted." seombo Road, Brixton. At the instant of his own recognition he was con- Bcioua that Mr. Colne con'vulsively gripptHi hi.s arm. Wragge was at pains to conceal the thrill of excite- ment that was nearly debtroying his conipofure- "You know the woman, sir?" he asked, tuning his voice to an incurious note. "I know her?" queriwl Mr. Colne as if in defence of his dignity. He laugho<l a little, n.s if it was a case for amusement rather than wsent- nient. "1 am afraid that I have neg- lected my oppnrtiinitiea, Wragge, for cultivating cinema profeiisionalsâ€" if I ever had any." The inspector's hand stole jrently under his) companion's arm, as though to guide him nearer thi? casualty. Hullo, hae's the 'tec!" she shrill- ed.

Don't let him slip you, for you'll never catch him again. He knows the game is up, now that I'm knocked out, and I'm jolly glad it is." "I am sorry to intrude," said Wragge, addressing the keeper and his wife. "I am a detective officer from Scotland Yard and I want to ask your daughter two questions. 1 have nothing whatever against her pei-sonally." John and Judith Grimes whispered to each other and stood aside- "It'll ease her conscience maybe, If she's dying," said the keeper. Wragge stooped down and put his questionsâ€" only a few words to each. The firsit was answered at once with a nod and an impudent smile. The second required longer reflection anid a painfully whispei-ed sentence or two. "Thank you, madam," said the d^ tective, rising. "You have greatly aided the cause of justice." (To be continued.)

CITY DWELLERS SAFE The next time the lightning flashes and baby cries and mother ihlvers and you swallow hard and tell Johnny pooh, pooh, there is nothing to be afraid of, and then duck your own head under tho bedclothes â€" don't. You are right. There Is nothing to be afraid ot. The chance of a person being struck in his home is one in â- eTeral million. And U you chance tc be at yotir desk In some dov/ntown skyscraper, the lightning cannot reach you. Tou have the assurance for this of R. M. Spurck, an engineer ot the new Bwltchgear plant ot tho General Elec- tric Company at Philadelphia, In charge of the high voltage testing ot circuit breakers, where arcs ot arti- ficial lightning at from fifteen to twen- ty feet are played over apparatus to make sure tiiere are no defects and that It win withstand conditions when put Into service, out In the open In natural lightning areas. "Shooting a million volts Into circuit breakers to thoroughly thest them before leaving the factory Is not mere guees work. The fundamentals are based on studies made In the company's laboratories, field observations and the classic work of the late Dr. Stelnmetx, " Mr. Bpurck said. It you reside on the top of a hill with no trees about, you are In a compai-atlvely perilous iwsltion. Such a bouse Is likely to be struck onoe every 100 years. But It you live In the arernge city home, with houses of equal height about you, lightning Is apt to single you out about once every 1,000 years. As for the residents In the house perched upon the hill, the chance la one In several million that they will be straok by the bolt that comes once every 100 years. The bolt might tear up .tlw reot, or even set It afire, but likely would get no closer to you. It would encounter the electric house wiring and would be carried. Impotent, to the ground. Or K would hop onto the plumbing system and docilely speed ott into the earth. The safeat place In your house la anywhere except where these light- ning conductors are centered. Mo«t plumbing and heating pipes run up and down in the middle of the house. Keep away from the walls in which they run. Do not stand between two metal objects, such as a heating radia- tor and the plumbing pipes. T\bere Is nothing wrong with the superstition that bed is a safe place. In the modern steel ofl^ce building, lightning can't even ae'. 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 Ilg'titnlng that may chance to shoot down. Perhaps the questio . of the efScacy of lightning rods has never been fully fettled In the public mind. Lightning rods are now to be seen chiefly In the country. There le a lightning rod on nearly every touse In the cities, Sl'iere is far n\ore, MAGIC BAKING POWDER «Wid in Canada fhari of all other brands ' combined MADE IN CANADA N O ALU M e.W.GILLETT CO.
