SYNOPSIS.
"Vanishing Fleets." a story of "what
Tuiglit have happened." opens in Wash
ington with the United States and Japan
iifiir war. Guy Hillier. secretary of the
Hritisli embassy, and Miss Norma Rob
erts, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are
introdticttl as lovers. Japan declares war
mil takes the Philippines. Guy Hillier
starts for England. Norma Roberts
leaves Washington for the Florida coast.
Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports
re closed. Tokyo learns of missing Jap
anese fleet and whole world becomes con
duced that United Suites lias powerful
war agency. England decides to send
-i llt-et to American waters as a Canadian
protection against what the British sup
lose Is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hil
lur Is sent with a message. Fleet mys
teriously disappears. The kaiser is miss
ing. King Edward of England Is con
fronted b Admiral BeIns of the United
States. The Dreadnaught. biggest of Eng
land's warships, is discovered at an im
pa.sKahle point in the Thames. The story
now goes back to a time many months
before the war breaks out, and Inventor
Roberts visits the president and cabinet,
telling of and exhibiting a metal produc
tion. Tills overcomes friction when elec
i rifled and is to be applied to vessels to
iiu reuse sjveU to over 50 miles an hour.
A city for the manufacture of the mys
icrious discovery Is built on the coast of
Florida. Dr. Roberts' first atter to elec
trify plates proves a failure. In t second
effort Norma is knocked unconscious, but
the mystery or true levltation is solved,
making the most important discovery of
enturies. Roberts evolves a great flying
machine, rendering warshipa useless.
CHAPTER XVI. Continued.
There when the heart of the Amer
ican o eminent beat was nothing but
anxiety and buspense. Each succeed
ing day's events had made it more
cortain that Japan would force the is
sue to war, and, like an athlete, was
stripping and training for the fight.
The men who had taken upon them
selves the tremendous responsibility
of intrusting the nation's defense to a
s'nsle discovery, and were backing It
with funds for which they must ac
count some day, saw the days slipping
by. and grimly realized that they were
urevocably bound to the success or
iailure on the key. It was too late
now to attempt other projects, and
xlory or defeat hung suspended on the
Issue.
Xo reports had been received, and
no news had come from that deter
mined little army that had sailed away
to the south. Hence it was with some
thing of a shock that the first word
received was to the effect that the drj
doclc could not be utilized. It seemed
like the first dread handwriting em
blazoned on the wall, foretelling fail
ure, disaster, disgrace and war. and
The picsident as he read it quoted
"with inexpressible sadness: "Mene,
rUene. Tekel " and his half-opened
lips framed the rest.
Then followed the requisition for
Mipplic. and once again before any
tletailed report had been received
oame another demand. The island in
the solitude seemed an insatiable
monster, devouring national funds and
giving back nothing in return. More
days went by. bringing" nothing save
distressing stories from- the orient,
where a clash had taken place at Che
mulpo between Japanese sailors and
American marines. This was of such
serious nature that apologies were
tendered the Japanese embassy, .and
then from the entire country burst a
storm of protest and reiterated criti
cisms of the administration, which was
contumaciously accused of showing
fhe white feather. From the western
coast came appeal on appeal, the
whole Pacific seaboard calling atten
tion to its unprotected state and the
imminence of its danger.
Distressed and irate at the dearth
of information, the secretary of the
navy was on the point of sending a
message to Brockton demanding news,
when he received from Miami the terse
message that in two nights more the
admiral would report in person. That
he b'ore nothing but a tale of disap
pointment was surmised from the
closing words of the admiral, who re
quested that all those who had been
party to the project should assemble
secretly as before at the White House
after nightfall.
Haggard and worn, they came to
rether. read the brief dispatch and
waited. The president, his melan
choly face set and grave, looked at
them from cavernous eyes; but could
oiler no consolation. There was noth
ing to do but wait sit and wait for
that messenger of ill omen who was to
sound the knell of hope and tell what
letters had been combined to spell the
word "failure." In hushed voices they
discus? cd the situation, and tried to
evolve tome project for its alleviation.
And then without preliminary an
nouncement the door swung open un
der the hand of the president's private
secretary, and there stood framed in it
the huge form of the admiral, his hand
at salute, his eyes shining in triumph,
and back of him stood Norma, her fa
ther and Jenkins. Brockton advanced
to the president's desk, and faced him
and ihe secretary of the navy.
"I have come to deliver my report
in person, and with me are those who
have given this nation the greatest
engine of war that science has ever
known."
The room was electrified; but the
president sprang to his feet and threw
uj a restraining hand commanding si
lence. "Well?" he queried, inviting further
words; but Brockton's place had been
taken by the shriveled figure of a
diminutive old man, who put a trem
bling hand cut to his friend and in a
-voice of affection, hushed but exultant,
exclaimed:
"Paul, Paul, we've made good!"
The other's hand came out to meet
his, and the only sound heard was the
president's fervent, "Thank God!
Thank God!"
The gates cf repression and emotion
were down. These men had been
tried to the breaking point, and now.
when in cne moment their skies had
cleared, they gave way. They hugged
each other, repeatedly shook hands,
and in the eyes of some there were un
restrained tears. They crowded round
the little group from the key and
almonished each ether to silence.
"Gentlemen." said the inventor, "we
cave rendered wars nips useless. We
need no armor! Increased speed on
the waters is of no value to us. We
have created- a machine that flies, not
a thing of gas, of planes, or a kite. We
cannot explain here as weft as if you
were to go with us and see it, and
what use we have made of your
money."
The secretary of the navy looked
disappointed. His mind was too in
tensely practical to jump to happy con
clusions. "Can a flying machine whip
a battle ship?" he asked, and would
have continued; but the admiral
brought his fist down on the desk with
a mighty bang.
"This one alone might do it! The
others we'll have ready before they
are called upon can whip the world."
He stopped as if abashed by his own
enthusiasm and lack of etiquette,
looked at the president and the sec
retary apologetically, and then in a
less tempestuous voice went on: "All
we ask is that you come with us so
no one may see you, of course and
then you'll have no cause for com
plaint." His request was reasonable: but
the3' were curious. After brief discus
sion and arrangement they decided
to go in motor cars, which many of
those present knew how to drive, and
within half an hour the entire party
was whirling away through the side
streets of the city, out into the resi
dence sections, through long avenues
of trees, past suburban homes, and
finally to tfieir destination.
The night was lighted only by the
stars, which failed to disclose that
strange monster of marvelous metal
and unprecedented power which
loomed up dimly before them in the

A Clash Had Taken
field. It stood there on the stubble,
dark and inert, massive and without
grace, like seme gigantic turtle of a
prehistoric age. Sentries halted them
as they approached even as in time of
strife, and compelled them to expose
their identity. They went aboard while
the admiral stood at the door waiting
for the guard to come within, the
last one explaining a slight delay by
saying he thought for a moment that
he had heard a noise as of some one
creeping over the field, but had found
nothing.
"Sorry we can't illuminate," the In
ventor explained; "but we shall a lit
tle later after you have seen how it
works."
Jenkins threw a lever, and the heavy
doors over the port came to with a
dull metallic clang and were clasped.
Within a little hooded space for
ward a dim light exposed great banks
of levers, switches and dials, and by
its faint rays they found seats im
provised for the occasion. Roberts
threw out a hand, and the hum of
great dynamos told that machinery
had been set in motion. Back of
them, in another apartment so closely
screened that no streak of light might
expose their presence to trjfe outside
world, they saw Jenkins and a junior
engineer watching the play of the
wheels. Norma took her place beside
her father. They felt vibrant shocks
as the great airship throbbed and
quivered, and then, save for the song
of the machinery, all was serenely
quiet and motionless. There was no
sensation whatever, and they began
vaguely to wonder when the flight was
to take place, if that was the intention
of their hosts. The voice of the ad
miral, pent with elation, called:
"Mr. President, and gentlemen, if
you will all lean over back of you and
look down you may see something."
They cbeyed with a promptness
that suggested some nerve strain, and
saw that -they had been seated over
broad glass plates of great thickness.
while far below was an unanticipated
picture. -They had -left the. earth, with
that first preliminary jar, and now
saw on its surface, pricked' out by the
lights, the streets of the national capi
tal. They were already a. mile above
it and rapidly gaining higher altitudes,
the horizon where other lights shone
in the far distance expanding saucer
like while they gazed. The sea, with
here and there a slow-moving ship,
came before their vision, and a. little
dotting' of fire exposed a railway train
crawling along on its journey. It was
as if the earth bad fallen away into
space and they alone were in a posi
tion of security and solidity.
"We shall require four hours of your
time at least," .the admiral called, and
with starts of surprise they looked to
where he stood outlined against the
light of the hoods, finding it hard to
realze that they were not addressed
by a being of another world. The of
Ecer leaned over to the secretary of
the navy and added: "I am going to
give you our preliminary report, which
will save writing it."
Sessions made no reply, but turned
to bis interrupted scrutiny of the pan
orama on which the others were intent
once more.
They were being lifted higher and
higher, and in this recession of the
earth, its lights, which only a few
moments before had been far apart,
now appeared as spangles on a vast
field of black. Above them through
a transparency In the roof the stars in
the clarity of the rarefied atmosphere
gleamed brighter, throwing outward
into the pall long scintillating arrows
of fire. The strange creation of an
abnormal old man and his daughter,
the Magic Carpet of fable realized,
swept upward into the dome of the
sky, veering outward over the silent
reaches of the ocean, and then, like a
great auk in homing flight, swung off
in a wide tangent toward the south
western void, carrying them at a speed
which they could not reckon. Below
was nothing more to claim their atten
tion; so, sclent and spellbound, they
turned to discover what they might
within this shell of mystery.
Forward, where the hood was glow
ing dimly, they saw the inventor stand
ing calmly attentive to his task and
scanning the faces of indicators be-

fore him, some of which they con
ceived must tell of altitudes, direction
or forces under subjection. In the
glare immediately betore him, bring
ing out his face in Rembrandtesque
relief, he seemed a patriarch whose
superior knowledge had elevated him
above the common paths of men and
placed him on such an exalted plane
of intelligence that he was beyond a
standard of comparison.
The consciousness that they were
far above the traveled paths of all
time lost its terrifying sense of
strangeness and uncertainty, and they
learned to trust this, structure -of metal
whose great enlivened masses, en-

Duke of Cambridge Took Lively In
terest in the Sermon.
"The late Dr. William M. Stonehill."
said a college settlement worker of
New York, "was called the bishop of
the Bowery. It was a title of af
fection. The Bowery loved this good
man.
"He sometimes used to laugh over
the naivete of his Bowery audiences.
He used tb say that in their frequent
audible comments on his sermons'
they reminded him of the famous duke,
of Cambridge the old duke, you
know. ,
"From his great pew the duke rum
bled out all sorts of remarks and
criticisms every Sunday morning. It
would be, said Dr. Stonehill, like this:
"Preacher 'Let us pray.'
"Duke 'By all means.
"Preacher prays for rain.

trallcd with machinery, was hurtling
with them through,. the night.. Th
noise within was not sufficient to pre
vent easy conversation; but they sat
as men stricken dumb, being carried
away into captivity by some dread ma
gician of more singular power than
was ever portrayed in Persian tales.
"Stand clear of the shutters, gentle
men!" the scientist called, turning his
face in their direction, and they
leaned forward just as Norma pressed a
button. A sharp clashing noise smote
their ears, and when next they looked
at the ports, they, were shut off by
metallic slides. Again the girl touched
a button, and instantly the interior of
the radioplane was flooded with sil
very light. It was a disappointment,
for sight gave no elucidation of the
secret.
A low rocf of unpainted metal
arched above them. In one end were
ordinary electrical dynamos, a motor,
and a polished electrical apparatus
which they could not understand, and
beyond this, outside the hoods,, there
was nothing whatever; only the signs
of thurried,work, reugh, unpainted, and
unpaneled. Rude benches, evidently
placed for this occasion only, com
prised all the trappings and furnish
ings of this monster that was the van
guard of modern transportation, and
in whose keeping rested the nation's
strength. They had expected in
tricacies of construction; but before
them was simplicity. They had pic
tured strange manifestations of elec
trical science ; but only a compact mass
of brass rods and gleaming tubes was
visible. The admiral read their un
wonted curiosity.
"I can't explain it quite," he said.
"Dr. Roberts will tell you all about it
pretty soon, when he can get away
from piloting the ship. Look out for
the shutters again. Norma is going to
open them and shut off the lights. We
are at our journey's end."
A clash, a flash, and again they were
in darkness, and with one accord they
turned to the reopened ports.
Beneath them now glittered the arc
lights of the plant on the lonely Is
land which they had peopled. The
great blast furnace was spouting to
ward them showers of glowing sparks
and sheets of writhing flame, and be
fore it, dwarfed by height into squatty
gnomes, were those who incessantly
fed it. The windows of the machine
.shops were limned in squares of white,
and out to one side, throwing its
searchlight to and fro, there steamed
a gunboat, while afar on the other
boundary of the key its sister ship
kept equally vigilant patrol. Industry
was spread before them industry be
tokening that night and day were be
ing devoted to the country's need;
telling through the hum of wheels and
the roaring of the blast that the eagle
from his lone aerie was sharpening
his talons for the impending struggle,
and preparing for a resistless flight
into the red sun of war.
Dumfounded and unable to com
prehend that in so short a time they
had been transported a distance
which by all known methods would
have taken a couple of days to trav
erse, they stared at the scene opening
fo their view, and while this bewilder
ment continued the radioplane began
a rapid descent in wide, sweeping cir
cles, daintily picked out ail open spot
immediately in front of the plant, and
gently came to rest.
CHAPTER XVII.
To Meet the Enemy.
A great ribbon of light from the
watchful Columbia perforated the
night, and as they emerged from the
flying monster they discovered in this
flaming pathway of white a line of
shells similar to that which had con
veyed them to the island. From the
one nearest came the steady resound
ing beat of hammers and the voices of
men who were equipping it within, pre
paratory to transforming tho dead, in
active mass of metal into a thing of
ebullient life and incredible activity.
"Completing them at the rate of two
a day now, gentlemen," informed
Brockton, as he led the-party toward
the machine shop, which was the near
est building. And this they were to
learn was the story cf the camp: Ac
complishment, accomplishment every
thing sacrificed to accomplishment!
There was no recess from industry
when they entered the shed-like build
ing, and go where they would they
saw nothing but men working like
mad, who merely looked up from their
occupations, saluted, and then resumed
their tasks as though the president of
the United States and his most emi
nent advisers were not of sufficient im
portance to excuse delay. Here was a
little army of men, expert in their sev
eral lines, comprehending the neces
sity for haste, and imbued with only
one idea: That their efforts were for
their country. Soldiers were they who
in other times would have shut their
jaws and grimly stormed through shot
and shell; but were now doing no less
valiant acts when with every turn of
a wheel or every blow of a hammer
they threw mind, muscle and. heart
into the uprearing of the nation's de
fense, v

Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come into general favor in many millions of
well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon
personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna hasalso met with the approval of physicians gen

all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna,-obtained by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act
most beneficially, and presented in an agreeable syrup in
