Lieutenant Adams, his genior, com- manding the torpedo-boat Spitfire, looked through his glasses toward the horizon, where a tiny wisp of curling smoke denoted the presence of the Kronprinz. The Kronprinz had sailed from New York four days before, carrying a few passengers who were resolved, to risk capture at the hands of the' British fleet. a ecargo, mostly contra-| band, two million dollars in gold, and Miss Frances Lowell of Bangor. This last item was confirmed news. Lieutenant Adams had written to his | American sweetheart, warning her | not to attempt the journey owing to| the imminent outbreak of war; but| she had not received the letter, nnd} had considered the newspaper prog-| nostications ridiculous. She was bent | on completing her art course in Eng- | land. When it was completed she was | to become Adams’ bride. There was no reason why Miss Lowell should study art in order to become the wife of a lieutenant with | nothing but his pay; still, Lieutenant Adams never thought of opposing hlsi sweetheart's wishes. He learned that | ghe was to sail on the Kronprinz al day before his squadron put to sen.. with orders to clear the Atlantic. ! The Kronprinz, as a treasure ship, was especially desired by the British admiralty.

And the 1 boats of the Spitfire would not suf to save a tithe of the Kronprinz's crew and passengers, few though the latter were. i “I'll give her a shotted gun first answered Adamg. This time the shell went very near the Kronprinz, but the result was the same as before. She sped through the water about fifteen hundred yards ahead of the pursuing craft. Through his giasses Licutenant Adams could | '|vlnlnly see the passengers crowding | the deck “They say that she's carrying two twelve-pounders,” suggested Bingham. | “That may be the reason—" Adams had heard the rumor that the Kronprinz had been partly con-| verted for the destruction of mer- chantmen. A sudden resolution was| apparent on his white face. “Give her a torpedo when I signal, | Bingham,” he answered. | And he stood within the wheelhouse, | fighting the ost supreme battle of | his life It was his duty to his coun-| try against the only woman whom he had ever loved, and, though the result | was never in doubt, the conflict was| one of those that go to the soul of ! a man and leave their imprint for ever. He had met Frances Lowell two, years before, when he was temporar fly attached to the embassy at Wash- ington. She was of Southern birth,' and had been visiting relatives in the capital. From the first they had been attracted to each other. When, after a few weeks of acquaintanc Adams had been recalled to England. he had gone with the understanding that, as soon as he got his first com- | mand, he should ask her to be his wife. The command had come three { months before, and by that time their | eorrespondence had shown them that | France: they had not erred in their selection. had accepted him.

EXPLAINS GROWTH OF SEEDS English Scientist Has Discovered That Carbonic Acid Gas Keeps Them From Sprouting. Why seeds should not sprout while maturing, and why they should lie long periods of time, are questions that occeur to few who ac- cept nature’s ways as a matter of,l course, Ilut there must be some restraining se to prevent growth in seeds, and inklin Kidd, Fellow of St. John's college, Cambridge, reports in the pro- ceedings of the Royal society that it is carbonic acid Removing the which this gprout helo! if the high p dioxide in th High tempe sures, hence in warm weather.
