Mr. Crnlgheml. looking down Into Broadway from the window of his of fice, turned to the group of reporters. "Gentlemen." tlil u'. "yon are crnss Roman soldiery I am Archimedes mnklng calculation, nnd Instead of allowing hlni to miimu his equntlons you Javelin hlni with questions. Tell the Journalistic Mntvelll who sent you that Ark won't bo disturbed I" "But about the Universal Nitrates nnd Air Products company," said a fat man with perpetually poised pencil, "and its connectlou with the neronef company?" "Merely fortuitous," replied Craig head. "The acronef company Is nu ephemeral agency for profit nnd I scorn It!" "But you are a director?" "Oh, yes! Oh. yes!" replied Craig head. "But the greater things had not occurred to me when I went Into it. I was 111. I was under a claim. I was chemicalizing In that reaction which results in the product known as rung state of alcoholism or magalo-conver-sation. A natural monopolist. General Tueodo' Cahson, M. A., took advantage of my weakness and got me Into It. Honor rooted in dishonor stands, and faith unfaithful keeps me falsely true, and I stay with him in his fight with Aerostatic Power. Then I shall give my whole attention to the Universal Nitrates and Air Products company, which Is to the Carson-Craighead acro nef as the rings of Saturn to those of a faro bank. And. to originate a phrase, that's going somen' "You're really good, Mr. Craighead," said a girl reporter, "and If the tungstate of your alcoholic days was worse than this you ought to have taken something for it" "I tried to." confessed Craighead, "but Dr. WItherspoon expelled me!" "But here's the situation as we get It. If we're wrong, we'll stay wrong unless you set us right." -Oh. cursed spite!"' recited Craig head. "No more tungstate. If you please." said the young woman. "The Air Products company was a wildcat look- fill It Jjfli FfeS "OU, THEODOllF, OO, 00 J" Ing West Virginia formation to" here she read from a clipping" to extract free nitrogen from the air by the Craighead method or otherwise, for the purpose of obtaining fertilizers to thereby Increase the capacity of the earth for supporting population'" "Is that" cried he frantically. "In our articles? Then all Is lost! Let me take It!" With shaking band Craighead took down the telephone and usked for Mr Fllley This you. Fllley?" be queried "Here's something that ruins us. A split infinitive In the articles. Won't hurt anything? Won't have to be done over? And we call ourselves civilized!" Craighead handed the paper back. "You have shocked me," said he. "But never mind, dearie! I know not whether to rejoice for the Air Products company or weep for Institutions that allow Mich n solecism to be legal as 'to thereby Increase.' " "Well." said the reporter. "It goes on to say 'and for seeming all rights In the atmosphere necessary for Its complete reduction to possession for the production of nitrates, ozones nnd all other atmospheric derivatives and for the securing of exclusive rights in the nir over lands for all purposes whatsoever. Now, that" said she. '"for all purposes whatsoever Isn't that pretty broad?" "A broad Intellect composed it" "These rights happen merely hap pento gridiron every state In squares marked by grants and leases to the Air Products company?" "My child." said Craighead, "do you understand the Craighead method of extracting nitrates from the atmos phere by spontaneous discharges of statical electricity from electrodes sus pended over the earth's surface?' "No." she said. "Do you?' "It Is one of my specialties," said he. "If I might have you nil to myself for an evening I would explain, but for the nonce by-by!" Mr. Craighead took much pleasure In his posltlou as press representative of the Carsnn-Cralghead Aeroncf com pany. The Virginia, ner builder nnd the contest with Aerostatic Power were matters on which the great dal lies had men at work ulgbt and day. This visit to the neighborhood of l Shayne's Hold was n tantalizing mys I tery. The mountain Inn where the eared above the roof, and us the man ' Vlrglulu hud been laid up for repairs nder it mounted the ladder, carrying pistol, Craighead seized an overturn- d chair and, screwing Its legs Into the rcast and face of tho scaler as be red a shot, dumped him neatly Into tie' arms of three or four servants In be court, after which he examined ae chair leg, shouting, "No meat on had been vlxiied by reporters und the Impossibility ot surface communica tion between It and Shayne's Hold pointed out.
