Life In Mr. Perkii:'» office had been so uncomfortable for Adam that It was a delight to him to envision as he strode along the lamp-Ut streets of Meu.sbridge, the possibility of an escape from that unplcasing place. He was persuading himself that lie was indeed a young man with a sci- entilic future, able lo make money. He'd leave the office In a few months leave it gladly, relying on the pro- ceeds of his invention. It would be a greater relief to him than ever now that he had begun to suspect .some- thing exceedingly finhy about the activities of Mr. Perkin. Perkln'B story about making uii in- Testigation of the Grail Street prop- erty, after dark and apparently by the aid of matchlight, was unbelie*'- able. Nevertheless his mind even now refused to admit the idea of this lean, dry lawyer liavng been In- Tolved In an attempt at highway rob- bery. Funny that he had never realized that there was something Queer about the man. After the revelation of his frightened fare on thai rotten old Btaircaae he would have believetl any- thing of him. TiJiat was exactly bow anyone would look who had been sur- prised In the commission of a crime. Now Priscilla, even when she was startled out of her wils^ looked ap- peallngly innocent. He must get his mind settled so as to give that valve a thorough test to- morrow afteiuoou. It was clearly go- ing to be too late to do anyl.hlng to- night. The valve meant a career, he was convinced, and since his meeting with Priscilla Noi<?al, a career had as- That Depressed Feeling Is" Largely Liver Wake up your Liver Bile â€" Without Calomel you are "feeling punk" simply be- cause your liver l.in't pouring its dally two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels.

Thinking on these lines he strode briskly forward, his head well back and his long arms swinging, until he reached the ancient narrow bridge that was the chief glory of Mens- bridge, albeit an eyesore to the town's modernists since its width will only allow ot a single line ot traffic, and that at ohe peril of the foot-passen- ger. Conimencliig to cros.s_ he noliced on Ihe guble ends of the houses on the lilllslde oppo.site a (lush of light. He stepped on to the two-foot pave- ment. Idly telling himself that It look- ed as If the car he had noticed out. side the station had been going to Fennynioore after all. Within a few yard.s the lights loomed up behind him, and he caught the sound of a menacing speed. It was going far too fa.st for a car that had to nego- tiate Mense Bridge. Motorists usual- ly slowed for Iihat. devil wa.s taking a way would be clear The next moment instinctively aside into one of those angular reces.sess that Ihe builders of old had been solicitous to provide to preserve lihe pedeslrians of their day from being crushed by, pre- sumably, ox-wagons. It was well ho was quick in movement, for the car seemed to get out of control, swerv- ing so that its near wheels mounted ttie pavement. With a grinding shriek its fore axle-cap struck fire from the parapet. Immediately it swung dangerously toward the opposite side, and then, straightening out, zoomed away into tlie night. AduiM thought it more than queer that the driver had not stopped to ascertain what damage he might have done to his axle. He could hard- ly have failed to feel the glancing impact and still less, with tho.'<e headlights, could he have missed see- ing how narrow was the escape of Adatn himself. Just another unaober driver, he conclude<l. Probably the fellow had been sleejiing it olT in the train, which would account for him not Retting out promptly. A sharp sentence was what he neede<l. For the rest of the way Adam walked steadily, and with the rhythmic exercise he succeeded in gettinjf his thoughts into some sort seciuence. His Job in life, he decided, was to secure Priscilla Nerval for himself. To do this he must put all his ener- gies Into the perfecting of his valve. His legal career was lo be abandon- ed at the earliest possible moment, and, for the meantime, he was going lo he much on ills guard with Mr. Corvllle Perkin. The sight of the lights in the farm windows Inevitably recalled bis mind lo the dark yard and the stable oiil of which he imd rushed so Incom- prehenslvely last night. That was the most puzzling thing of all. However, ho was satisfied now that his nerves were sound. He'd been through enough to friffhten most people and ho could honestly say that he bad not felt the slightest feai-. It must he something other than his nerves. Ho told his people noliilng of lii.-< adventures.

I am assured that there are Am- ericans who believe that Great Brit- ain has but two kinds of weather â€" Scotch mist and London fog. They are, I need hardly protest, Americans who have yet to make tiielr first visit to this country. They havo not oven heard ot tlie suplerbly sunny summer which we enjoyed this year, or of the summer that preceded it, in whloh, from May to August, 926 hours ot sunshine were recorded at Kew. But there is some excuse for their misapprehension. Wo have for too long allowed the world to suppose that England in winter â€" and especially London In No- vember â€" is Intoleirable; indeedl, we have gloried in the assertion. For generations we have been abusing our weather, wit-hout making It plain that this is a form of indulgence pecu- liar to ourselves. We are rather proud of the repu- tation we have built up ot being able to live In a "difllcult" climate; it exhibits us as a hardy race (which we are) and one able to adapt Itself to conditions that would sev- erely te«t the stamina of lesser breeds. That this attitude may be regard- ed as unnecessarily arrogant does not matter so very muoh; the trou- ble Is that It Is silly. For the loss sympathetic and understanding stran- ger blandly accepts our description of English weather without in the least comprehending our queer in- verted pride in It. British novelists also are much to blame.

In fact, Dickens painted a picture so starkly alluring that well- primed DIckensians from ovBrseaa have been known to profees disap- pointment on discovering that the once celebrated "peasoup" variety of fog â€" the incomparable "London par- ticular" as the brew was called by Its reluctant admirersâ€" Is no longer procurable. The dawn ot a day Ilk© that de- scribed in "Bleak House" would now provoke as much excitement in Lon- don as a snowstorm In Jerusalem. Within reason, and from a strict- ly romantic standpoint, fog may have its merits, but that London has more than her share of It is one of those Illusions for which the Londoner himself Is chiefly respon- sible. A few facts from the Meteor- ological Office alone are sufficient to destroy the fable. Until t^e rise of aviation brought the demand for exact knowledge of "visibility" there was no systematic measurement in this country ot the duration range and density of fog. Accurate measiurement of "vis'ibll- Ity" was not begun until after the war. But records that were made at Greenwich show quite definitely that whereas between 1881 and 1900 there was practically no variation in the volume of London's November fogs, there has been since then a steady decrease. Visibility measurements are now taken regularly, frequently and ac- curately at many stations both In England and abroad. Fog is held to exist when an ob- j?ct becomes invsible at a distance of a thousand metres. October and November are admittedly the foggi- est months. And the worst time f jr togs is one hour after sunrise.
