The scenes of the story Is laid In a Por
tuguese fishing settlement on ?ap.Cod,
and It Is told In the first person by the
strapping son of one of these fishermen,
Believing that his otdera given In a storm
I. ad been the causo of the. drowning of
some of his fellow-townsmen, he would
not return to Old Harbor. When, after
years of wandering, chance brought him
home he found the gill he had loved

contrast to the storms of the sea and of
hate.

GRAND PRIZiE f;0R CHEMISTRY

InB Artificial Habber Brings
Meftth.
.The. death ,of, a young, chemist from, an
explosion ot chemicals nt e'waren. N. J
where he was experimenting with a pro
cess for '.making . artificial rubber, ,wlU
serve to call attention to, the present
eager pursuit of what Is, everything
considered, the grand prize ot synthetic
chemistry. ,
Synthetic rubber, ot course, Is not a
novejty. it has been successfully pro
duced for some years, but more as a
laboratory "stunt" than as. a practical
article ot Industry. There remains the
discovery of a process' by which It can
be produced In quantities and sufficiently
cheaply to make It commercially profit
able. That Is the goat of the synthetic
chemist, and to the one who attains It
titer will be "wealth beyond tho dreams
of avarice" once more With tho na
tural supply of rubber declining nnd with
tho Industrial demand, for the manufac
tured product enormously Increased, there
are practically no limits to the fortune
that awaits the Inventor, .who can put
artificial rubber on the market on a com
mereJal scale.
This Is the modern quest for the rh lp-sopher'a-
stone, but wftH the difference!
that Instead of the familiar picture of
the grizzled alchemist bent over a retort
trying to transmute the .baser jnetals Into
gold, synthetic chemistry has filled the
laboratories with young men fresh from,
college, all at work transmuting Indus
trial subiftances Into new sources of
wealth. Andrew Carnegie, haa testified to
What "my chemists" did for steel manu
facture, and what they hive dona with
oil Is a wonder story of Itself.
Certainly artificial rubber cheaply pro.
dueed will b a richer, prise to the in
ventor than artificial gold.-New York

MnUlnir nisr Money.
Two youngs exponents of strenuous life
on Broadway, New York, were fitting In
a hotel lobby discussing the, other even
ing thelt- plans for- making some "big
money" 1n the future. One of them con
fessed that his salary was only TS plunks
per week and he was having a .hard
time ducking" the tailor and a few other
creditors. Bitting near them was an old
gentleman who overheard their conver
sation, and was evidently Interested.
, ' You fellows are making the mistake of
your lives," the old gent said at last.
' You are chasing the will o' the wisp

me a business man on my own account
And Just then .the flashily dressed young
man got nervous and started to gp. His
parting-shot was: 'That may be all
