was flaying the air with stringed
cadence.
A carriage rolled through the
street, the "clop-clop" of the horse's
hoofs seemingly In time with the
trains of the music that drifted
through the night air.
"Maria." said Speede dully. "Re

"Haven't you sent her home yet?"
Terry demanded. "And what do you
mean you won't go back to the
States because of her? Say, If she
makes any trouble" v
"Wlllett!" Speede was on his feet,
waylng a little, his Hp trembling,
the queer note back In bis voice.
"Maria's got a child. My kid"
Terry groaned. Speeds bad evi

hadn't learned a damn thing still

"Think It's the Drat time some

"1 don't care," Speeds said fever.
Ishly, "what others have done. 1

his chair. "All right," he said
kindly. "I didn't know. Uut don't get

Is lay off the kana. Then take your

from side to side.
"I've thought of that I've thought
of a million things. Uut I can't go

Ills eyes wore burning with the
kana as he caught Terry by the
wrist
"I'm afraid." he repeated Jerkily.

On the way to his hotel later Wll

warehouses rising from the water's

of stagnant sea foam polluted the

Captain Dent, the military attache

a hand on bis shoulder.
"If you're looking for the same

in these three points than any big
locomotive and train thnt man has
ever been able to build.
In speed, the toy train can make
about five miles per hour this speed, i
for its size, being equal to 200 mllefs
an hour for a big train. No big trnlna

Not only that, the toy train ts more
efficient. It delivers Its top speed at
maximum efficiency, whereas the
most efficient operation of a big
train Is et much lower speeds.
The modol toy train tops them all
for strength, too. Run It Into a solid
obstruction at top speed and little
damage result but drive a big train
Into another train or Into a solid ob
struction, and the train will be a
mass of twisted steel beyond repair.
