The bulba for the street lamps rived th« past week and tht lights have beea turned on and art) pronounced 0. K. by everyone.

Mr. Gardner is to be congratulated on his success in doing hie work and the village on having so complete and tine a system. Of course there may be accidents happen to the machinery at times but we shall have to bear with that as tbey have to in sister towns, as we have noted from time to time in our exchanges how they have had to be sometimes two weeks without any light, owing to a break in the machinery. However in talking with jtlr. Gardner, we think he is studying on a plau to iinpove the system if possible and insure constant service to all at any time and over corfle breakrges—or at least tide over them. No one thought one year ago that we should have Electric lights in Pinckney, but we have and can be proud of them. The Weather. Since our last issue we have had another variety of weather. Thursday morning fair sleighing took a sudden slump so that the mail carriers who went with cutters came in on bare ground. Friday it rained all day and nearly every vestage of snow left. Saturday and Sunday were quite fine days and Monday we were visited with a blizaard. As we go to press, Wednesday, a blizzard is raging from the southwest with one oi the most piercing winds of the winter. This is February.

From the shore came a dull, moan- /ng sound, now rising, now falling, but incessant, as if some gigantic animal, Btricken and suffering, was shrieking the anguish of its. death throes to the solitudes of the keys and the waste of waters round them. The frightened birds took flight to the north to escape the weird monotone, and the timid animals of th« forest cowered in fear ' but the* men [of the Island looked at one another exultantly, with mutual congratulations on the rapidity of their work. The blast furnace which was to cast the plates was being blown in. Days and nights of unremitting toil had followed that first landing; machine shops had been completely Installed, power plants perfected, and buildings for the men erected; additional supplies had been received; and another gunboat, the Columbia, augmented the. patrol which pasaed. ceaselessly round the key*, guarding their secret and warning inqutsltve fishermen to avoid the waters; corps of expert smelting men from - the mines of the west had joined the colony—anfl all ..for this, the casting of the first plate, which was to take placenthia day, ., \ In the assay rooms there had been the constant .testing of. crude.metals, and atfporttontng them and discarding those which were inferior. Trajned hands were those that forked over the bucking boards* and ^manipulated^ the delicate scales Which..would register the tiniest mark of a lead pencil with a.8* grgjit frccurfccy; as they •>would a pound weight Everywhere about the plant wer# men who wroiight with pre-' «iekm •s)o^Jnt#raet, -bound together in the great enterprise until differences In a^tfon-were-forgotten ahti all were ; *aa a^fftirj* praying for success. "Old; BiU*RQberts..aasJale4 by his daughter, naV^rtattted her foot but theirs to "enter the room where liA sft> paratus was installed, and no hand but theirs !to; touch Its cempMcsJred * mechanism-' With the;'lpve.pt a crts* atc-V Be had spent the last hours fondling its cote, um*e¥pbhsive parts and adtcrstirrfJ k, and then eteod and ; watched, as a mother watchef her flrstbdtn, the initial movements of the great.•masterpiece which' Was \ inystery to all the world but him and Norma. Engineers and officers from all parts of the plant, warned that this crucial teat was at hand, gathered round the door of the innermost room, until Invited in by the inventor, and then slowly entered and found standing prates At a safe distance from the inv trtcat* -mass, whose polished knobs, twisted barf «*d gleaming t*tbe* to them a tangled rtftU* •here .round the apparatus, ligfftly trying m ad/ustment oV closely inayedtoleVao* (lr*yn*,into«a *cowI jof.con-; n ^ e l f ^ f j h a l ( ^ o c t j p n e A So afefuf w i s he that ire even hrtpected^ the duplicate apparatus which stood; as a reserve at the other **nd of a casting mold-; but "which.it was not his intention to -• HUB except in case of emergency. Satisfied that all was in readiaetp, b^e-beckoned to two aasjsaants, who trundled lti the first-com* poaite plate and deposited it in its bed. - He jnade t h e connection with the electrodes in a few minutes' deft work, and theo^traightened up. and looked about the room, where all was still and expectant. The wowSeYing engineers saw him wave' his daughter back a short distance as though fearing for her safety, watched him-take a final look over his appliance, and then throw a switch, arjljiant streak* of purple, of unknown reds and glaring whites, raced each other in quick succession through the tubes, little indicators here and there sparked out malevolently, and the machine seemed to leap, strain and throb with a life of Us ovm, uncanny and mysterious because of its silence. The group of men peered curiously at the plate, saw4 it glow a dull red; pass the cherry stage to a dull pigeon blue, and then suddenly burst into a gleaming mass of iridescent white., "Fusion!" one. of the engineers whispered t o * men beside him. "He has fused that plate in lees time than it could be done by any means I ever helrd" oT. Tha t is the way he metamorphose* hh? metal." The rays died out, the apparatus stopped its quivering, and the inventor with hands clasped behind him stood Intently watching the now cooling metal. Within the laboratory all was, silence. From the adjoining buildings came the regular sound of hammers,' and from somewhere off toward the cabins a man's voice was raised in a song of soldiery. The sheet of metal lost its color and became dark. "Old BUI" Roberts pressed a button above his head, and cooling sprays began dissipating themselves over the surface, sending up brief splutterings and clouds of rapidly diminishing steam. "It's cool enough now to handle," he said In an oddly constrained tone of voice, turning to the engineers, "and if some of you will help me carry it to the testing tank you may see me prove the first plate on which hangs the fate of our country." In an awed hush of expectancy they all volunteered; but only three men were needed to hold it while it was attached to-the great arms which were to revolve it in the water and demonstrate its resistance. The inventor threw a switch, and the sheet began to move. Before him was a dial, and beneath it a scale of friction pulls showing the resistance offered by normal metal. He fastened his eyes on the indicator with a look of strained watchfulness. Slowly the needle point swung round as the arms gained the maximum, of speed, and theii It came to a standstill, while a look of doubt and perplexity crept over the scientist's face. "Norm," he called, huskily— "Norm! Was everything all right? Is'everything working true?" She took a step behind him, and with a look no less Worried than hla own stared at the dials indicating the speed, of revolution and the scale of resistance. "Yes, father!" she replied, gently, "everything is all, right." Shej put her arm over hie shoulder as if to *hield him. "But something must have gone wrong somewhere else*. Come away How arid let us think fit bvW.M ' : • " «' She turned to the wafting~ officers behind and r.looked them' calmly in their faces, while the inventor, dazed and uncomprehending, ran his fingers through his shock of white hair and gazed at the telltale dials as if hypnotized by two staring eyes. . "Gentlemen." she said, "the flrat experiment is a failure!" * • Those "among thera who had been slightly skeptical Bintted art; o w an* ojher, while those whose belief had pheea^mofe ftrln toofced' sympathetically at this slip of a girl, who faced them ,aU tft^teady defiance, her trust In her fatfcfr, herself and their invention un- -shaken and unfaltering. "You, Mr. Jenkins." she said, addresslnur one of the engineers, "are 'yfcurself a scientist a"nd'ran experitnentalist. You of all present know how easy it is foT a tiny mistake to , rob delicate work of definite result." There was a note of appeal in her voice.that reached them.all. As if with one accord they rushed forward, grasping her hand and surrounding her father, giving them words of encouragement. It was the gruff voice of the old admiral which aroused them to renewed ection. "Pshaw, Bill! That's nothing." he growled. "Here! We've got more plates cast. Throw another on. and give it a tryout Waka up, man! Wake up?

Her father in a burst of terrible anxiety tore open her corsage and ran his hand over her heart. "She's not dead!" he whispered, hoarsely. "She's been knocked out by a wild current or something I don't' understand/' , A long.breath of relief,encircled the room. Not until she recovered consciousness and sat weakly up was the suspense mitigated, . • 'Teel better, little girl r the eld. admiral asked, and the others pressed forward with solicitous Inquiries. ' She looked at them for a Aoment, regained her mental- control, and answered: "yes, I'm,all right now; but don't mind me. What of the plate?" They smiled at one another as it dawned upon them that the plate had been forgotten. It was manifestly unfair that she of all others should pot "Gentlemen/* She 8aid, "the First Experiment is a Failure." { i t go! ' Jenkins a*£ two others rushed VI **• J O . » r f • • ( : t & ». M i p M • < » * share with them the first knowledge of what had been accomplished; so aa a guard of honor they supported her back to where the cruel agent stood, and then one and all started back with exclamations of amazement. The plate on which they were building their hopes had disappeared! Where the insulated tank which held It had reared Its squatty length was now a ragged hole in the floor, bordered by the slivered ends of twisted and shattered wood, and beneath this was a yawning hole several >feet deep, broken electric wires, and the great slab of metal. Norma, as if the excitement of the discovery had acted as a tonic, released herself from the supporting arms, walked to' the shining brass structure, and leaned against It. Brockton pulled off his cap and scratched his heed in a puzzled way, and Jenkins removed the glasses from his nose and began nervously polishing therd. The other engineers gaped at e*ch other, at the inventor and then bacx to the hole wherein to all appearance'*- was burled the thing on wnich they had built all their hope. "Old QUI" Roberts stood by its edges, looking down and examining the broken wires, a picture of perplexity or des ©eJr. He came back and crowded through their midst, examining a connection and tracing ont one of the strands, and then stood in listless attitude, his brows drawn into a frown, and his arms* hanging loose "and pendulous ' from his shoulder*. The time stretched into minutes, and Jenkins and Norma began a discussion, to which the others listened, striving to understand the phraseology of electrical science, of which many of them had little more than the layman's knowledge. Suddenly a sharp cry came from the inventor. They looked to the other aide of the room, whither he had retreated, and beheld him Jumping up and down like 4. a. madman.. His flats wete etetched and throat into the sir, where they a M1 opened clawlike and waved a tremolo of excitement. "I've got it!" he •creamed. "I've solved it!"

The admiral suddenly dropped his bulk to a stool. "Good God!" he gasped, "ar^ you mad?" Nooua, like one from whose eyes a hoodwink has been suddenly removed, and appearing almost to have read her fathers rut ad. put her hand out to his shoulder and looked at him searchi&gly.

Then In a sudden frenzy for.work he asked them all to leave until he sent for them, and they, wondering and speculating on his next endeavor, obeyed. Only the workmen, who bad descended Into the cavity and were preparing to hoist the plate and mold, and the admiral, by special Invitation, remained. The. cianc^pf hammers resounded hQHowly through, the room as the timbers beneath the Itoor were shored up by the carpenters:- then came the setting of another and larger tank than the one which had been so unexpectedly driven into the earth. The smaller plates which had been intended only for experimental purposes were ' exhausted, and therefore " they had nothing on which to operate.save two immense castings weighing many tons. Wide sliding doors rolled back, and workmen from the foundry, with straining muscles and clinging toes, slowly pushed in low-wheeled cars on which rested the huge pieces of metal. A steel crane projected Its ungainly arm, reached slowly down, and In a Titanic grasp picked up one piece, moved it into position over trje new beg, a^nd deposited it in a great basin whose material indicated that, it would be able to withstand any heat. 'The admiral in boyish exuberance wodld have thrown wide the door; but the inventor, remembering the other contretemps, forbade. The latter busied himself for a few minutes in his storehouse, and returned with a sheet of peculiar insulation which was of his own invention, almost indestructible by heat, and a resistant to any form of radioactivity, which he placed with great care on top of the huge, plate. The second plate was lowered squarely on top of this, clamped for additional security, .and. the workmen dismissed. The connections were made in identically the same way as in the previous test, except that one electrical apparatus was attached to the upper plate above the insulation and the other to the one beneath. Brockton, seeing that the currents were about to be applied, backed off Into the corner, until stopped by the farthermost partition. (TO BE CONTINUED.) HOW TftAPPERS LO«C.

SWARTHOUT, Village ClHrk Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can help i t Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion. But don't trifle with Indigestion. A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been eorry for it—when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone is subject to indigestion. Stomach derangement follows stomach nbtis<.>, juiU as naturally and just av, surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching qf gas and nauseating lluid, bloated sensation, gnawirg pain in tbo pit of the f-tomaeh, heart, burn (s(vcalled), tiiarrhoca, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling—you need Kodol. And then tho quicker you take Kodol—the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it. Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tablets," physic;;, etc., are not likely to bo of much boneht to you,*in digestive ailmoni::. Pepfiiu is only a partial digester—and physics are not digesters at all. Kodol is a perfect, digester. If you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of ail kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well as we do. Nature and Kodol will always cure a sick stomach—but in order to be cured, the stomach must rest. That is what Kodol does—rests the stomach, while the stomach gets well. Just as simple as A, 13, C.

Fi 6 0 YEARS' EXPERIENCE The members of the State Sup- ©rrl-iors Association, who met at l i n k i n g last week, among other things took up the matter of a a toe and went on record as favoring a law requiring automobile owners to pay to the state a license fee of *10, the fuiid collected to be used to aid in the construction of good roads, the supervisors being of the opinion that the machines do more damage than any other vehical using the roads. If.they get the bill passed it is to be hoped that they will give the anto driver at least scrme rights and protection on those roads. They do have some ^rights today but if some were to ride a (evr miles with a reasonable driver of a car they would find there are many times when they are hindered and bothtred by other rigs and have no chance whatever. For instance:—We have ridden with others and found the same true in driving our own car, that when overtaking a rig the driver of that rig would hold the center, of the road for sometimes two miles, compelling the driver of the auto to slow down and even stop to keep from running into the head rig. Agaiu. We have seen the driver signaled to stop for a coming rig and when hehas done so and waited for the other to drive 40 rods, the horse paid no attention to the auto—did not even know it was there. The driver is obliged to carry his lights at night, front and rear, while the driver of the horse has | no such lights and the autoist can not see him until too late. The driver of the horse can see and hear the auto no matter how dark, but the autoist has no such protection. In some cities they are compelling every rig to carry its lights for the protection of all. Of course these are pleasant things one meets while on the road and must be met to be appreciated. Of course there is the other side when the driver of the auto needs a good lesson from the law and many times he gets it. However there are two sides to the matter and all should be fair. If the autoist is to bear a big share of the road making, let him at least have some rights on that road. Local Option AofeA HOD.

Wexford county went dry last spring and the fact that Mr- Powers in his paper previous to that time was against the move and now is taking the platform in favor of it is one of the strongest arguments in its favor. He says there are many less arrests, bank deposits show an increase of 151,- 229 more than the year previous and business in general is much improved. Does not think Cadillac will ever return to the saloon, as 98 per cent of the business men are now for local option. The Fowlerville Review of last week published two columns of letters from the editors of papers in VauBurean county where they have had local option for 18 years. Everyone wrote over their own signature and one of them said: "The only newspaper in the county which actively opposes the law, is one whose columns are openly for sale, the editor having made no secret of the fact that he had sold out to the liquor men for the campaign expected in this county tbis spring." This sets us wondering. (?)

We tiave broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres in crop. Por one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents per bushel, and it graded as No. 2 Northern, although we have a quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern.

Together they began the journey of life in their primitive home in Garafraxia. Migrating to the states in 1857, they settled in White Oak township, Ingham county, Michigan. There they continued to reside until his wife waB called home in 1893. In that vicinity and in Iosco Livingston county he continued to live awaiting the summons whioh came Jan. 27, 1909.

If the wprld had pot passed beyond the age of myth-making, the disaster in* southern Italy would be ascribed to the turning of Enceladus in his sleep. Enceladus was one of the giants who rebelled against Jupiter. He was killed by one of Jupiter's thunderbolts, according to Virgil? and*burled under Mount Etna. When he turns in his grave th,erearth, quakes, (and, whep he breathes thej mountain belches forth Are and smoke. It was the peculiar geographical and geojqgical formations round Sicily and the Strait of Messina that gave rise to many of the ancient myths. The rock of Scylla, dangerous to navigators, was believed to be the home of a monster which seised the sailors from the decks of the ships that passed too near. The whirlpool of Charybdis,. across the strait, was said to be caused by another monster which swallowed the sea and spewed it out again three times a day. The Sirens lived on an Island In the neighborhood and charmed sailors to their destruction. They were finally foiled by Odysseus, who closed the ears of his sailors with wax and had himself lashed to the mast of his ship. So chagrined were: the three'sisters that they threw themselves into the sea, and were tranBfQr,med,l!ntp,,nrocky islands which bear their names. ?nr "Alaska is a cold and barren region and is almost useless except as a hunting ground for the seal and other fur-bearing animals," declared a standard school geography published BO recently as 1875. The discovery of gold served materially to broaden that view, and- a representative of the department of agriculture now reports that the territory's agricultural possibilities have been grievously underestimated. In the Yukon valley he has ripened oats, barley and winter wheat for successive seasons, and found them fully as heavy as the beef, grain of the states. Grasses grow abundantly, as do all the hardier vegetables; and when it comes to live stock, Galloway cattle, a long-haired, hardy breed, stand the climate well. Such facts suggest that It should not be difficult to carry out the al|n ¢^ the AJaska-Yukon.Paclfie exposition, "to correct the common Impression that Alaska and Yukon are nothing but countries of cold and gold.!' .

Chamberlln goes to Washington to be sworn in ma United States senator, the acting governor of Oregon will be a woman. It is understood that Gov. Chamberlln does not intend to relinquish the office of governor until he takes the oath as senator. There will consequently be a period during which he still will be governor after ,he leaves the state. During the governor's absence from the state It has been the practice of the governor's secretary to attend to the official business. W. H. Catena, the present secretary, it is understood, is slated for a Judgeship and will be succeeded as secretary by Mrs. C. B. Shelton, who for several yearB has been the governor's stenographer, and as the precedent will be followed Mrs. Shelton will be the acting governor. The Canal Work. ' ' In a letter from Culebra to Maj. J. B. Cnmmin, thanking him for courtesies extended during the visit of himself and Mrs. Taft to Augusta, the president-elect praises the work on the Panama canal. Mr. Taft says' in part: "The work is progressing satisfactorily and the conflicting reports that you see in the newspapers from ama* teur and other engineers prophesying evil, find no foundation on the isthmus.

Taft, state inspector ,of nurasries, has made the unwelcome discovery that" the brown-tall moth, one of, the most dreaded tree pafasltes known, has invaded Michigan. The little pest sneaked over from France as, a stowaway In an importation, of nursery stock by a Michigan grower. Every effort will be made to stop Its being fruitful and multiplying, including* arsenate of lead s"pray and oil solution. The moth has been domg much damage in Massachusetts, where a million dollars is avidly spent every year to get rid of It. In Europe It does great harm, but Is held somewhat In check by parasitic Insects, for even these pests have their "little ones to bite 'em." The moth is white and about as large as a cabbage caterpillar. It gets its name from tufts of brown fuzz on Its abdomen. Burled Together.

This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels te Increase speed to over fid miles an hour. | A city for the manufacture of the my*, tarfous discovery is built on the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' drat attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. CHAPTER XV.—Continued. 'It's all right this time," the inventor assured him. "Wild current and wet floor before, badly insulated handle, too. All fixed up now. Won't be any accident this time," and so* on, making the final inspection of his apparatus as he talked. Norma reviewed J her father's work, to be certain that all was well, and then at a nod from him took her station at the other monster which had not been used hitherto, There was a simultaneous movement on their part, and, as if suddenly endowed with a soul, the iights once more flashed here and there, glaring at them with sinister contempt— Franken steins under control! The admiral, fascinated by the mystery of science, stared at the whitehaired old man who was calmly watching his play of colors, and then at the girl who with equal self-possession and coolness manipulated the strange currents beneath her hands. They were animated as by one mind, throwing their levers and switches to and fro at Identically the same moment without looking at each other, and the click of the closing currents came in unison. Not until then did they step back from their stations and interchange what seemed to the admlraj mutual glances of congratulation. "That assistant of mine Is a wonder!" was all the old man said as he came over, dragged a stool up beside that on which the officer sat, and gleefully rubbed his hands together. "She thinks more clearly than I do." Brockton, who had been tense as a violin string and had almost forgotten to breathe, drew a long breath and looked at the girl, who had been leaning against the wall as though exhausted, but was now watching the slowly cooling metal. He would have asked questions; but the inventor turned to him and with an air of triumph said: "I wish you* would inwite all those who were here when we made the first teat. Then you will have the explanation, unless I am again mistaken." The admiral obeyedr and even as the cooling sprays were sifting over the great pieces of metal they came trooping in from the work which they had resumed. There were men from the draughting rooms with pencils behind their ears, engineers from the outside with shirt sleeves rolled up and forgotten diagrams under their arms, and one man came from the laboratory absentmindedly carrying a test tube, balancing it so that he might spill none of the liquid which it contained. Norma was now resting calmly against one of the huge dead machines. In a tone 01 unusual gravity Roberts addressed them. "Boys," he began— they were all boys to him—"you have witnessed the accidental disco\» ery, I believe, of the most powerful force the world has ever known. You have been fortunate. In more than 78 years of life I, who have spent the time in strange studies and stranger work, have had no privilege so great. Yam have all -been kind to my daughter and to me, and I am glad you are Sara now." H e paused-for a moment order from an insane man consigning; him to inglorious death. The voice of the admiral put an end to the wait. "Go ahead!" he said quietly. "Those plates may weigh tons; but if Dr. Roberts tells you to pick them up, you go and try it." With the absolute'precision of training, the officer's heels came together and his hand to his cap in quick salute. He strode to the plates, . and stood opposite Jenkins, while the spectators craned forward, speculating as to what freak of madness was to be demoMaatrated. Jenkins, grave and unquestioning, looked across at his companion, nodded to jiim, and together they stooped and caught a handhold. Together they gathered their muscles as if for some prodigious exercise of strength, and simultaneously strained upward.

CHAPTER XVI. '"'' '"'' A*n invincible Arm! The officers, still doutfting their senses, stood'before' this uncanny manifestation like men in a world of unreality. From without, for some unaccountable reason, the varied' clamor of" industry had subsided to silence, and the soldiers' song was finished, tiven tbe yellow light of the afternoon which Altered through the window panes appeared strange, spec* j tral, and unearthly. In the shadow of j that massive thing whfSh hovered above them, Nature seemed bent on the revocation of her laws, and for an Instant their senses reeled ia the struggle for comprehension. "Old Bill" Roberts broke the spell. He reached up and touched the tip of a finger to the mass and moved it gently toward them with no moio ex- Norma Was Now Resting Calmly Against One of the Huge Dead Machines. came up with such ease that they were lifted breast high without perceptible effort. "Higher, higher!" called tho old inventor, springing toward them and gesturing with his hands. The plates rose until they were held with finger tips, and breathless suspense enchained the spectators. "Now stand from under! Let go of them! Let go of them!" yelled Roberts, dancing up and down in excitement; but the men still held on as if rendered powerless by astonishment. "Stand from under!" commanded the admiral; and discipline again mastering them they obeyed, springing back In the apprehension that the two immense plates might by some necromancy come crashing down and disappear through the floor. With something almost like a sob, so great had been his mental strain, Jenkins stood transfixed. The admiral gave a gasp, and with one hand poised in the air stood like a statue. A hammer fell from the hand of one of the engineers standing behind, and the man who had been tightly clutching the test tube opened his fingers and let it crash to the floor. In this tinkling sound of broken glass on cement, another gave a sharp ejaculation and took an involuntary step forward. They had witnessed the first positive exhibition of true levitatlon, a solid body suspended in the air without support They had seen in times past with complacency, knowing that it was dependant upon optical illusion, the-oonjurer's trick, mystifying t o the ertion than would be necessary to push a toy balloon. There was no levity in him when he addressed them, but rather the simple grandeur of one who has wrested from Nature one of her greatest powers, and was now preparing to harness it for all time, a slave to peace, progress and the welfare of his fellows. "My friends," he said, "by the discovery of an alloy of metal and metalloids we have created a new substance, which when an electrical current of certain potentiality is passed through it becomes intensely radioactive; infinitely more so than radium. Through these machines," and here he waved his hand at the twin apparatus in the rear, "my daughter and I have produced electrical manifestations hitherto unsuspected and unknown. The metal itself, while radioactive to a certain degree, does not. become intensely so without the application of the excitant current" He pulled the plate down till it rested on the floor, and stood upon it, while they, still awed, waited for his further exposition. "This morning, by an accidental contact which lasted until the plate had torn itself loose and broken the current, I saw to the full the possibilities it contained. The Impact of the emanations, or radioactive corpuscles, against the sheet of insulation and tank at the bottom drove it through the floor and into the ground, because the corpsucles which flew off in the other direction were unimpeded, free aad-iiaraleea.

Those two plates are workiug against each other with nearly equal force, the balamce being disturbed only In ratio to gravitation," ^ -The solution of the flying machine P Jenkins shouted.excitedly, and Roberts, appreciating the engineer's quick understanding, amiled and responded : s"Yes, just that." 4 "But what will furnish its propulsion?" asked Jenkins, whose mind was traveling over the possibilities of rapid flight. The others evinced their Interest by craning forward. "It will furnish its own," the scientist answered, "because by the use of the apparatus behind it we can excite its radioactivity to any^degree^ that mlgkt be'safe. More plainly, the moment the current excites and therefore increases the power of tb^.lower plate, a lifting energy* could be exerted which would destroy the equilibrium of levitatkm and drive the plates into the air with a force corresponding to the strength or character of the current. Or, on the other hand, if the upper plate was similarly excited, thus liberating its corpuscles, the plate would be driven toward the earth." The admiral, who had been slowly following this dissertation, seemed suddenly to have grasped its entire meaning, and thrust himself out from the group with both hands extended and gesticulating rapidly. "Then all you have to do," he said, "is to put on either end of your airship a freeboard made of this metal, capable of excitation and insulated on its inner surface, and you would thereby be able to drive your tjraft in either direction "at any speed you might wish!" "That's it exactly," answered Roberts and Jenkins in unison. The inventor continued: "I can beat a freeboard, however, because I shall apply my electrical current in, such a way as to send all the corpuscles of radioactive matter in any direction I may choose. I could with this alloy even create magnets of unknown power. I can built a craft in sections where magnets and radioactive surfaces will alternate." He was growing excited as the mag: nitude of the scope of his discovery dawned upon his imagination. Norma calmed him flowttjvbut the admiral, infected with these visions, took up the strain and enthusiastically expatiated to his companions. To him the skies were already filled with flying ships that were to swoop down over an enemy, drop terrific bombs of high explosives, and thus sweep the seas. But future events, he was to learn, cannot be predicted with certainty. "Well, well!" he said, briskly. "What next?" "Your engineers must assist me in drawing plans. We shall want great quantities of new material and electrical equipment, and must have them soon; because when we get well under way we should be able to create two or three of these radioplanes each day." The great plates were locked In, and the group repaired to one of the offices, where for hours the inventor elaborated his scheme of control, the mechanical means of which were to be worked out and drawings made by the engineers. And as they toiled over their plans, there spread from mouth to mouth throughout the strange colony the story of the marvelous conception, until even the most prosaic workman found himself dreaming and speculating over his task. Before dusk had crowded the light from the skies, the Columbia, under a full head of stekm, picked her way out to meet the ocean swells, and headed for Miami, where she was to send a message to Washington, calling for stranger? assorted supplies and notifying the anxious naval men that the dry dock would not be needed.

The purchasers laid out their family burial ground close* to 'the grave x of Mary Washington, and Inclosed their lot with a high brick wall, leaving the Washington grave outside, Mary Washington's grave was long neglected. Various efforts to erect a monument, failed, until in the early '90s a Fredericksburg auctioneer offered the land on which the grave was for sale.

He requested tljrp pupils to iftf home, and although there was some grumbling over" the ^failure of the bridegroom tofi«cqme through with the treat," they obeyed. Timothy's failure to treat became a village Issue. Around the hot stove in one of the village groceries the town "cutups" held a consultation and came to the conclusion that- "Tim hadn't done right." Furthermore, they vowed, by heok, that Tim shouldn't rest until he had treated his pupils. For thrca hours that night they raised bedlam In front of the Jamison residence. All to no avail. Tim showed no disposition whatever to extend the hospitalities expected of him. "We'll show him, b'gosh," said the merry wags. With voices somewhat frazzled by the wear of the night before, they assembled. They didn't rely upon noise this time. They wired up all the doors and windows, and then one bold spirit olimbed up on the roof and stuffed rags down the chimney until It was completely clogged. This left to the Jamisons the pleasant alternative of being smothered with smoke or putting out the Are and enduring the cold. "We're coming back every night, until ye treat the scholars," shouted the band as they left the Jamison residence about daybreak. Superintendent Jamison was grieved. He appealed to the village marshal, but that worthy remarked that he, too, thought, by gum, that Tim ought to treat. Consequently the Jamison brothers and Tim's bride have left in disgust, declaring they will not return. The pupils, while they did not get their treat, are rejoicing in the extra vacation.

Eighteen packages of registered mall were secured. One of these packages is said to have contained a large sum of money, but until a thorough checking up of the missing package is possible the exact amount secured by the robbers cannot be ascertained. . The robbery was remarkable for its originality and daring. It took place within eight miles of Denver, within less than two miles of Fort t-ogan, the United States military reservation, and at the spot where haMtatiops are plentiful. Yet so thor> ough was the work of the robberB and so well were their plans laid that ,they had fully an hour and a half start of the officers. Search of the vicinity of the holdup indicates that a third man and possibly a fourth were engaged in the robbery, that a buggy was in waiting, and that torpedoes and red signal Area were used unsuccessfully in an attempt to stop the train before the automatic revolvers of two men on the engfne tender succeeded In doing thiff.

HAMPTON ROADS, VA.— Battleship races, a h If) against ship, and squadron against aquadron, marked the final leg of the cruise of the Atlantic fleet when the United States armada atarted from Gibraltar for home. The maneuvers of the fleet, re-enforced by nine warships from home waters, were the most elaborate ever undertaken by United States war vessels. And when the fighting craft cast anchor here February 22, they were In fit con' dition to steam out tq face an enemy. The program for the reception of the fleet on its return t # ,HBWft<|n Roads was elaborate and the.proud record made by It practically reversed th» carried out when the fleet sailed. President Roosevelt, on board the Mayflower, anchored between the HorseBhoe and Lynn Haven bay, reviewed the fleet as It passed in. Rear Admiral Sperry, the other commanders and executive officers, then went aboard the Mayflower to receive the president's greetings, after which the president in turn visited the flagship of each division and met the asaeman elaborate program, in which all the vessels took part. While the fleet, or the main body of It, jogged along at a pace that brought it into Hampton Roads February 22, the individual ships were put through speed trials and endurance tests. Ships of similar class raced to determine individual excellency, while battleships of different designs were tested one against the other to determine the superiority of style. There were also races between squadrons, and battle maneuvers, in which squadrons and divisions participated. There also was gunnery practice under practically battle conditions, and new records have been made. NEW RECORDS FOR SAILING. None Other to Compare with Aohl«vement of Our Fleet. SINCE the fabled cruise of the Argonauts of old there have been many famous cruises in history, but non^e tbat>ean compare, either In magnitude >of. vessels or in length of miles, to Egypt and afterward to the West Indies and back, only to end in those ever memorable disasters to French sea power at the battle of the N i k and at Trafalgar. 8ccond Spanish Armada. Coming down to more modern times, no one can have forgotten, that ill fated cruise of another Spanish armada under Admiral Cervera, which ended in the total loss of Spanish sea power at Santiago de Cuba. When President Roosevelt gave his first order that the Atlantic fleet should vatart for its "practice cruise" to the. Pacific from Hampton roads, ail the European naval experts on t!M> continent permitted themselves to doubt whether our Bhips could ever be got ready in time, and whether t h e long cruise could ever be accomplished without serious disasters. But every English speaking sailorman knew In his heart that t h e great fleet would be all • ready and would start exactly on time, to the minute, as it did. WELL PUASMItt-IESTEID!

The cruise has been a practice trip throughout, but it remained for the final lap to Institute the maneuvers and tests planned. The intention was to give the vessels the severest trials at the flnlBh of their long journey, in order that any defects in them might be demonstrated. In addition to the 16 battleships that composed the fleet, there were the Yankton and Panther, two atoreships, and two colliers. These were started ahead from Gibraltar. Before they had negotiated much of the distance westward across the Atlantic they were met by the welcoming fleet sent out from the United States. This consisted of the battleships Maine, New Hampshire, Idaho and Mississippi, the armored cruisers Monlana and North Carolina, and the scout cruisers Salem, Birmingham and Chester. When rhey joined the others it made a fleet of 20 battleships, five powerful cruisers and two smaller .fighting craft. As soon as the warships were assembled the real work of the homeward cruise was undertaken. Admiral Sperry had framed to the great world cruise Just finished by our fleet. When Admiral Rojestvensky took his doomed ships from the Baltic to the Sea of Japan, this was heralded to all the world as the greatest armed cruise in history, and so it was up to that time. Yet apart from the singular fact that these Russian fighting ships were foredoomed to disaster, what a miserable achievement it wan as compared to the magnificent, resistless, onward sweep of our own fight- Ing ships! Significant Historical Fact. To th« historian it cannot but appear as a significant thing that all other previous great cruises in history, with the exception of those undertaken by English-speaking sailors, have only resulted in disaster and shame. There was the great cruiae of the Spanish armada, for instance, launched against. England by Philip II, of Spain, which -ended in such nttei rout and disaster. .. • Then there were those ambitious naval projects of the ftroat Napoleon resulliuK in the famous French cruises — I "The soil on my farm is a black.

"My opinion is that t h e man who comes here with a little means can do no.better than invest $500 or $1,000 in cattle, after locating a homestead adjoining or near some hilly part of the country where it will not be taken up as soon. There is plenty of grass and buy to be found in the hilly country and small lakes and sloughs will afford sufficient water for any amount of cattle. The bluffs with a few hay or straw sheds will make sufficient shelter for them. There Is no need to# worry about the market for cattle, as there is already a great call for stock of all kinds to satisfy t h e continued demands of the large packing house at Edmonton, established by Swift and Company. "The dairy business should by no moans be forgotten. It is one of the paying enterprises of this great west. The price of butter seldom goes below 25 cents and reaches as high as 40 cent a a pound. Also the now creameries tbat are fast being erected along the lines of railroad a m calling on the farmers for their cream. "These creameries are greatly welcomed in all communities, because selling, cream is better than making but- 'tWj even at an average price of 25 cents A pound, For. a new country tho railroad transportation facilities aro good; not yet, of course, what they aro in older countries, but t h e new lines aro swiftly gaining as-the country gets more settled and supplies them with produce to ship. It is hard t o sa,y too, much in favor of this country. All one needs is a little money, .with grit and ambition. I have seen homesteads that were filed on a little over three years ago that t h e owners have refused $3,000 for.

Wait until it geUt about the come Sunday M-sipizino. world, looking in at the Hawaiian islands, the Philippines, into China and Japan, and back again without the slightest shade of doubt in the soul of any American that the fleet would always acquit itself well and achieve what it set out to do. ThiR, indeed, ia the great, thing that has been accomplished by the fleet. For the first time in history the P a cifle ocean has been put into commlB> sion. This is a great fact, a gTeat achievement, the results of which can never be changed or lost. Henceforth in the world's history the Pacific ocean, which first came into international prominence only with Dewey's great victory in Manila bay and the Japanese victories in their own waters, will loom up in historical importance as did the Mediterranean before Columbus' great cruise opened up the Atlantic."

Guy Hllller, secretary of the British embassy, and Mis* Norma Hob- •orta, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are introduced aa lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines, Guy Hllller •utarta for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese ttest and whole-world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to send a. fleet to American waters aa a Canadian protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hllller Is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bavins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before ths war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels to increase speed to over SO miles an hour. A city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built on the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' first attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. In a second «ffort Norma is knocked unconscious, but the mystery of true levltatlon is solved, making the most Important discovery of centuries. Roberts evolves a great flying machine, rendering warshlpi useless. C H A P T E R XVI.—Continued. There where the heart of the American government beat was nothing but anxiety and suspense. Each succeeding day's events had made it more certain that Japan would force the issue to war, and, like an athlete, was stripping and training for the fight. The men who had taken upon themselves the tremendous responsibility of intrusting the nation's defense to a single discovery, and were backing it wit'* funds for which they must account some day, saw the days slipping by, and grimly realized that they were irrevocably bound to the success or failure on the key. It was too late now to attempt other projects, and glory or defeat hung suspended on the issue. No reports had been received, and no news had come from that determined little army that had sailed away to the south. Hence It was with aorae- 'thing of a shock that the first word received was to the effect that the dry dock could not be utilized. It seemed like the first dread handwriting emblazoned on the wall, foretelling failure, disaster, disgrace and war, and the president as he read it quoted with inexpressible sadness: "Mene, Mene, Tekel—" and his half-opened lips framed the rest. Then followed the requisition for supplies, and once again before any detailed report had been received came 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 Chemulpo between Japanese sailors and American marineB. 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 criticism* o* the administration, which wis contumaciously accused of showing the white feather. From the western coast came appeal on appeal, the whota Pacific seaboard calling attention 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 terBe message that In two nights more the admiral would report in person. That he liore nothing but a tale of disappointment was surmised from the closing words of the admiral, who requested 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 together, read the brief dispatch and waltnd. The president, his melancholy face set and grave, looked at them from cavernous eyes; but could offer no consolation. There was nothing to -do but wait—sit and wait—for tfc%4 messenger of 111 omen who was to sound the knell of hope and tail what letters had been combined to spell the word "failure." In hushed voices they discussed the situation, anar^ried to evolve some project for its alleviation. Aid then without' preliminary announcafteirt 4fce door aw,ung o^en^under too hand of i h e president's private secretary, aftd there stood trame$in it the h$fe form o#thA admiral, htajiand at salute, bis eyes shining" in trimnph, and back of him stood Norma, her father and Jenkins. Brockton advanced to the president's desk,.and faced him and the secretary of the navy. "I have come to deliver my report in person, and with me are those who have given thin nation the g r e a t e r engine of war that science has ever known." The room was. electrified; but rthe president sprang to his feet and threw up a restraining hand commanding st lence*, "Well?" he queried, inviting further words; but Brockton's place had been taken try the shriveled figure of a diminutive old man, who put a trembling hand out 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 of repression and emotion were duwn. These men had been tried to the breaking point, and now, when in one moment their skies had cleared, they gave way. They hugged each other, repeatedly shook hands, and in the eyes of some there were unrestrained tears. They crowded round the little group from the key and admonished each other to silence. "Gentlemen," said the inventor, "we have rendered warships 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 well 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 intensely practical to jump to happy conclusions, "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 secretary 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 complaint." MIB request was reasonable; but they were curious. After brief discussion 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 ratovthe residence sections, through Jong avenues of trees, past suburbs* homes, and finally to their 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 field. It stood there on the stubble, dark and inert, massive and without grace, like some 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 inventor explained; "but we shall a little 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 forward a dim light, exposed great banks of levers, switches and dials, and by its faint rays they found seats improvised 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 the 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 hostB. The voice of the admiral, 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 obey«4 w4*h a pvocnptneea • w e atmlu. and saw that they had been seated over broad glass plates of great thickness, while far below was an unanticipated picture. They had left tbfe earth wtth that first preliminary jaJry and no saw on if* surface, picked out by th# taL . T W « W alf*ja^,,lfc*fiile abay<3 in the far distance expanding saucer- Uk*v while they gazed. The sea, with her*!,; and' there a slow-moving ship, came before their vision, and a little do$rth£ of'fire exposed a railway train crs/fcllns* along on its journey. It was aa'tf; the earth *ad fatten away- into; spgee and they alone igere in a position of security and solidity. VW« 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 tp realize that they were not addressed by a being of another world. The officer leaned over to the secretary of the navy and added: "I am going to give you our preliminary report, which wJUl save writing,, it." Sessions made no reply, but turned to his Interrupted scrutiny of the panorama 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 momentB 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 ylfwd t o f t n i a 'occasion* only, com* prised all the trappings and furnishings of thlu monster that~Was tfce vanguard of modern transportation, and tin whose keeping rested tb* nation's pptrength.

Thejjj h*d pictured strange iaanlfestatioae of elecirlcmi acifcnejft; tint, aajy a rngjrtrtTt pinwti of brass rods ana" gleaming lufies was visible. The admiral read their unworded curiosity. "I can't explain it quite," he ea^d. "Dr. Roberts will tell youTall aboirt-lt pretty-, soon, when he cajj get a%»7 from piloting the. ship, Look out tor the shutters again. * Norma is goinjjrto open them and shut-off the lights. We are at our journey's end.* . -* A plash, a .flash, and again they were in darkuesB, and with one accord they turned to the reopened ports. Beneath them now glittered the arc lights of the plant on the lonely Island which they had peopled. The ^reat blast furnace was spouting toward them showers of glowing sparks and sheets of writhing iiarne, and before 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 betokening that night and day were being 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 comprehend 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 traverse, they stared at the scene opening to their view, and while this bewilderment continued the radioplane began a rapid descent in wide, sweeping circles, daintily picked out an open spot immediately in front of the plant, and gently came to rest. A Clash Had Taken Place at Chemulpo. great auk In homing flight. swunE off in a wide tangent toward the southwestern void, carrying them at a speed which they could not reckon. Below was nothing more to claim their attention; so, silent and spellbound, they turned to discover what they might within this shell of mystery. Forward, where the hood was glowing dimly, they saw the inventor standing calmly attentive to his task and scanning the faces of indicators before him, some of which they conceived" must tell of altitudes, direction or forces under subjection. In the glare immediately before-him, bringing 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, entrailed with machinery, was hurtling with them through the night. The noise within was not sufficient to prevent easy conversation; but they sat as men stricken dumb, being carried away into captivity by some dread magician of more singular power than was ever portrayed in Persian tales. "Stand clear of the shutters, gentlemen!" 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 silvery Hghf It was a disappointment, for sight gave no elucidation of the secret. A low roof of unpalnted metal arched above them. In one end were ordinary electrical dynamos, a motor, and a polished electrical apparatus which thsy could not understand, and beyond this, outside the hoods, .there was nothing whatever; only the signs of hurried work, rough, unpalnted, and aaaanetod.

To Meet ths Enemy. A great ribbon of light from the watchful Columbia perforated the night, and as they emerged from the flying mohster>they discovered In this flaming pathway of white a line of shells * similar to that which had conveyed them to the island. From the one nearest came the ateady rebounding beat of hammer^and the-voices of men wfco were equipping it within, preparatory to transforming the dead, inactive mass of metal into a thing of obullient life and incredible activity. -^'Completing them at the rate of two av day now, gentlemen," Informed Brockton, as he led,.the party toward the machine shop, which was the nearest building. And this they were to leara was the story of the camp: Accomplishment, accomplishment—everything sacrificed' to" accomplishment! There -was no; recess from industry , when they entered the shed-like building, 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 eminent advisers were not of sufficient importance to excuse delay. Here was a little army of men, expert in their several lines, comprehending the necessity 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 left 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 defense.

Some one has said truly that responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power. Little is expected of the incapable. The very mention of duty, task, responsibility weighs like a burden upon the minds of weak men and women. Every one must have met men of good parts who will sedulously dodge anything like a responsibility. They shun everything like responsibility though high rewards may be offered. The mere thought of being held to strict accountability dismays them, and no remuneration and no honor are great enough to tempt them to leave the pleasant ways of peace to undertake a course which involves contention or strife, or even serious prolonged attention.

It seem*-tq me, tft*t many people miss the troe*BSy* Of outdoors by depending top mueb on the assistance of others.' One finds on all aides tales of how rfwto go Into the wilda and give themselVaiL offer to the enjoyment of nature, b$;j>Qt3ewhow many of these btories show plainly that it was not the sportsman who did thing*. Too often j.h* sophisticated reader aud outdqor juiap detects the fact that it was the guide's skill which brought the game in range of the rifle. The guide did the tracking, or he called the moose, or he pointed out the game for ihe hunter to nee. Somehow most trips into the wilds are not declarat o r s of independence. They are, in fact, plain statements of dependence upon another's skill, another's kuowlrrtge and another's strength. After the Kiiide has driven the deer to one a stand "To make a long story short, half an hour passed before George, the guide, who had come up, finally found the deer dead." Then when wet leaves gave good still-hunting—"The guide mid 1 still-hunted," and it was the guide who.got the shots. I do not decry the value of guides, though I never hired but one, writes Raymond S. Spears in Recreation. If one is really incapable of getting through the woods alone, then stick to the guide like a burr. If one wants packers, cooks and other servants, well and good. If does save time to have.,erne's meals prepared and -dishes washed by audtheiv But when it comps to the actual hunting, why not strike out alone and shoot game, without the assistance of another's eyes, another's ears, and another's rifle, whfcli happens frequently when, a guide with a gun is alongside at every stride. An Amusing Controversy. An amusing controversy is going on in Berlin between MissOlga I)esmdnd a n r t t b e P r o l a n d i e ^ U t i g a l t y f e *1ft©; cult of beatay7.

But Herr Roeren declines to enter into correspondence with the alluring Miss Des. mond—wise man!—either directly or indirectly, as to his "parliamentary activity" in calling her by vigorous adjectives. T h e affair has attracted an enormous amount of attention }n Berlin circles, and the dancer is not likely to suffer any immediate pecuniary loss through the debate in the diet. It ts; declares the Boston Herald, a good deal as if the beauteous Mhss Garden should be haled up for her posturings in Strauss' music drama by an insensate member of congress; therefore Dr. Roeren's interpellation on the cult nf the nude falls flat, while Berlin smiles. Paris streets must, be in a queer way wheu^the prefect of police, M.

But M. Lepine's order is absolute.

For the first time In Its history the Branch county Jail has not had a pris oner in the past two weeks. In that time the sheriff's and the police forces have not made an arrest. Dick Comstock, a 17-year-old Jack' son boy, has been sentenced to pay a $10 fine or spend five days in jail for contempt of court. He refused to tell where he obtained seme liquor recently. Though he refuses to discuss the matter it Is generally believed that Attorney General Bird is investigating ffairs of the Ann Arbor university Mr. Burt's Denunciation. The so-called mass meeting at t h e Auditorium in Saginaw has been t h e subject of unfavorable criticism and a number of prominent persons who were persuaded to attend the meeting, some of whom addressed it, are said to feel chagrined at having been drawn into connection with the affair, which is asserted ho have -developed into a ranting Socialistic tirade by Detroit and Chicago agitators. \V. It. Burt, who gave the Auditorium to the city, denounces the meeting in a signed statement as an anarchistic gathering. His attack has caused a sensation. In the course of hie statement Mr. Burt declares that he and other reputable men of the city, including two leading ministers, were tricked into attending the meeting under false representation as to its character. He says he helped defray the cost of the meeting and recommended that the committee secure Rev. Mr. Bradley as a speaker. He says he Is ashamed of having attended and regrets that he influenced others to go. Mr. Burt denounces the inflammatory speech of a Detroit man In particular. He says in effect that the meeting defamed the Auditorium, and warns that "when they bring speakers who declare that the judiciary, from the supreme court at Washington down, is corrupt, and that an honest man cannot get justice, it is time these people came out and held such meetings by themselves, instead of tricking the labor people and outsiders under false representations."

Looks Worse. "Apparently the further Hie thing £oes tho worse it seems to get for Armstrong," said Thomas J. Navin, member of the Jackson prison board of control, in commenting on the matter. "On the face of it things look very much against Armstrong, He is now completely out of the employ of the prison board, as is also his wife. Their formal resignations were received by Capt. Stone, bookkeeper at the prison, and will be accepted at the mooting of the board next month." "Will action on the appointment of a new warden be taken at the next, meeting?" Mr. Navin was asked. "I cannot say as to that," Mr. Navin answered. "Tho appointment, however, will not be made in a hurry; the board will see to it that time is taken to give the matter careful consideration." Storm Bound. The worst, storm of the season struck Menominee Wednesday night. It was general throughout the upper peninsula. Snow is piled in huge drifts from three to ten feet high, making traffic nearly impossible. All trains are hours behind time. One fatal accident occurred in the yards here. Albert Bird, switchman and lamp tender for the Northwestern railroad, was hit by a switch engine, the engineer of which could not see him, owing to the storm. Both Bird's legs were broken and he sustained other injuries. Change of Venue. Attorney \V. S. Cobb, who is associated with John W. Miner in defending Allen N. Armstrong, the suspended warden of the Michigan state prison, says that the defense had not considered for a moment the asking of a change of venue for the trial of Armstrong on ihe charge of soliciting and receiving a bribe. The prosecution does not appear to care a fig Whether a change of venue is asked and secured or not.

Secretary of War Haldane gives la general outline of the strength - .of England's over-sea forces as contemplated ' u n d e r the .great imperial scheme. Canada, he said, could easily raise five or six tectorial divisions. Australia five, New Zealand one and South Africa forur or five. These in addition to the existing 14 divisions of the territorial forces of the United Kingdom would give a total of 30 divisions for home defense. Writh the 1G divisions of regulars ready for over-sea service it was thus hoped to attain an imperial army of 46 divisions, equivalent, to 2,1 army corps. This was just the strength of the German army, Mr. Haldane said, and no other army in the world had so great au organization. ^Jutjipt Brewer Knoo*iev Justice DaW<rrjr«3fer, of U» * States BupreiI»toojirl in addre a ^ U . « f » . atuMt* OB The Mlsti of ThbjvC«iuniiy~4i^t** Oftuie PtAce/hit «t ROOHTSU*fcd%p| fol^rsVsgancria-ttsiirii»«fi I army and navyr Among otbtt thiflfl.

Fifty-five feet of water is expected at Cincinnati to-day, with possibly five feet more to come, and 42 feet at Bvansville by Tuesday of next week. A flood stage of 42 feet is indicated at Helena by the middle of next weei and 38 feet at Memphis in about tes days. Cincinnati, 0., Feb. 26.—That the Ohio river here will reach a Btage of 60 feet on the present rise was the prediction made yesterday by Local Weather Forecaster Bassler. If this stage is reached it will Inundate considerable property on the river front and cause considerable damage. Already Water and Front streets a r e flooded and about 300 residences In low lying lands In Covington, Newport and Bellevue, Ky., are submerged. / Surveying for Railroad.

Heavy Touch for Money. Unless members of the present legislature put on the brakes, the fortyfifth session will go down Into history als the most costly in the history of the state. Appropriation bills which have already made their appearance will call for a touch on the state treasury to the amount of $1,458,255. Many of these measures are not the regular appropriation bills, but have been introduced to provide means for special purposes. When the regular appropriation bills make their appearance, the total sum will be given a big boost. (Game Was Swift. During a hot scrimmage between Rirl basketball teams at.

He turned from them aa If to hide hits emotion, and took a few step* which brought him tct tbp bl«Je of the ;radi?- plane. His long a r m reached out, aad slowly and in silence he chalked upon its metal side in big white letters, NO-R-M-A. The men of the plant stood quietly until the significance of his act dawned upon them, and then burst into a frenzy of cheers, forgot the dignity of his position, and crowded round him, talking as man to man. Norma tried to make her protests heard; but they were unavailing. The men were elated, and her father was satisfied. With little delay the party boarded the craft, the president being the last to say good-by. T h e big metal door was closed, and the Norma rose into the air on its return journey, while the men stood with bats off and watched it disappear before returning to their work. The radiuplane was making its last flight before the war, because it was deemed that all risk of discovery should be obviated, eyen though other methods of transportation were comparatively snaillike. And so t h e months went on with activity a t the key, placidtty in the administration, and preparations for a n protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hilller is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bevins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, Is discovered at an impassable 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 production. This overcomes friction when electrified and Is to be applied to vessels to Increase speed to over 50 miles an hour. A city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built gn the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' first attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. In a second effort Norma Is knocked unconscious, but the mystery of true levltatlon is solved, making the most Important discovery of centuries. Roberts evolves a great flying machine. rendering warships useless. The cabinet is taken for a visit and plans for a radioplane war against Japanese yre st&rted. CHAPTER XVII.—Continued. The president in a reverie found himself contemplating them. Here, he thought, was the personification of t h a t anomaly the American workingm a n : Ofttimes turbulent, frequently dissatisfied, sometimes waging warfaro with employer and capital and ourying political parties^ but when country and home were endangered, oouragoous as a lion guarding whelps, reckless of life, and unheeding wounds, plunging to the front in a frenzy, and asking no reward save the satisfaction of seizing the invader by the throat and throttling him to the death. "God save the enemy who underestimates the temper and patriotism of the American workmen!" he muttered as he returned to the long motionless line of radioplane*. The ray of light, broad, steady and clear, was" still there, and aa the visitors entered its borders the quick, sharp blast of a whistle in the rear, as if by preconcerted signal, caused every wheel lo come to an abrupt stop. From the buildings and quarters men came running to the scene and surrounded the guests, who were grouped together in the fan of white and immediately in front of t h e monster which had given them passage. That they were not to depart without some further attention was obvious. "Old Bill" Roberts made t h e meaning of the call plain when he addressed his friend in the old term of intimacy. "Paul, we have left to you t h e honor of christening the first radioplane ever built. She isn't named yet. The boys here wanted to call her the RobeTts; but I forbade them. I guess you know who I wanted to call her after," he said, laying, his hand on the president's a rm and looking up into his face; "but. then I wasn't sure yon would like that, so we have compromised by loaving it to you." The president, had in his hand a piece of carpenter's chalk which he had Idly picked up from one of the be had traversed. He stood ; ft*over between his long rough which bore evidences of hard physical labor in early youth, and looked affectionately down into the Inventor's eyes. He turned from him and looked at. those around him. Tn the edges of the light and stretching back into the darkness behind he could discern the faces of the workmen, the reflection giving them a singularly pallid look and making them seem like visages dismembered, their bodies being absorbed into the blackness of the background. They expected a speech; but he felt, a paucity of words when he thought, of their endeavors and achievements. He started to address them, but choked with the fullness of his heart. Without sotfh work as they had given, what would be the condition of t h e nation to-night? 'Men," he MM, using tfc« atrftngetfe "f appellations, "no word* of m i a t cax deadly engine ever-conceived, and we should be delinquent in our duty if we failed- t o uae it a s a means for con* trolling and thereby ending wars for all time. Let JIB bear •.•with* fortitude whatever reproacaea m a y 4>e heaped upon us. for we1 are'the-instrumerits of God, a n d t h e trial wilt last only a little longer. Let no man speak!" His -eyes flamed with inspiration/ and, like a prophet of old, b e led bis followers in his own footsteps, i n those trying times he was very near to the, God in whom h e believed, a n d only the walls of his room knew how often he appealed for light and guidance, trembling in spiritual agony, andy like t h e martyrs of all ages, crucified by his fellows. Events began t o move with light ning like rapidity a s May approached. Secret orders had been given to all the principal ships In Pacific waters to withdraw into neutral harbors, it being t h e wish of the men who were playing the stern game that all possible loss of life through accidental meetings might be obviated. Pacific commerce withdrew from the western seas, believing itself unprotected and the administration mad. From all sources of Information came the certain reports that Japan was about to attack. H e r communications became daily more Insolent; but were invariably treated with suave contempt. And then came a day which brought the most portentous news. The first was a message from t h e key that Dr. Roberts had broken down. I t was from Brockton, who made a pitiful appeal to the secretary of t h e navy to find Norma and either In Silence He Chalked Upon its Metal Side in Big White Letters— N-O-R-M-A. onslaught on Japan. As the work of construction advanced, Norma found respite to make occasional brief visits to Washington, where her time was monopolized by Hillier, who did not dream of his forthcoming trip to London; but "Old Bill" Roberts came no more to the capital. Now began that series of orders which subjected the men at the head of the government to their greatest trial. Work was stopped on all fortifications, beginning with those in the Philippines. It was accepted by the public as a foolish curtailment of expense. Before this had ceased to rankle in the public mind construction ceased in nearly all the navy yards; but the clamor then arose to such a pitch that outwardly it was resumed, being done for appearance's sake only and to prevent a revolution. So dangerous was the pitch of indignation that, some of the president's advisers quailed before the show of wrath, and feared that, an army of Americans might march on Washington. They besought the president to alter his plans and make broadcast announcement of the state of defense; but he, hla Americanism exceeded only by his humanitarlanism, stood steadfast. His answer was characteristic: "If our secret becomes knov."n, there-will be no war, and w a r is a ftea e * j i t | \ f o r our purpose. In our tyjUuUt, home from various ships give permission for her to be brought back by a radioplane, or to have her sent a t once by special train to Miami, inasmuch as she, being the sole sharer of her father's secret, was now the only one who could -be depended upon for the • metamorphosis of the plates. The message added that the inventor was not in a serious condi tion, hut that overwork, overstudy and overstrain had so taken toll that t h e surgeons declared he was coming down with brain fever and that his very life depended on his taking absolute rest. To hazard another trip of a radio* plino was out of the question, because the administration was aware that spies were still in t h e capital. The president himself sent messengers to find the girl on whom so much depended, only to learn at a late hour that she had not yet reached Washington, but was expected to arrive that night. He preferred to communicate his tidings to her in person, and therefore left word that, she should call at the White House t h e following morning. In the meantime advance preparations were made for h e r conveyance to the island, together with the grim old fighting admiral, Bevins, who was now to assume command of the aerial forces of America, and those officers • h o from time to time had been called **m^t ""*» 'Jt ' has been gfven by a miracle the m o a t !

When Norma appeared at tae'Svbitu House she was told of her father's condition by t h e president himself, who was plainly harassed to & e Ktoit by anxiety. "You can go a t once," he said; "but what then4? ' A r e there any who pan work the radioplanes?" "Yes, by nightly "flight/ Wo have trained crews for all and more than we have biuUt." "But there should be some expevt guiding mind who knows t h e secret ;f the craft." "Father had intended to accompacy them and himself direct the leading radioplane in case of attack." The president threw up his hand in a gesture of hopelessness. T h e time for attack was fast approaching, and could not be poatponed on account of the Inventor's illness. Norma, who had been standing beside a window, confronted the worded head of the nation. "You forget," s h e said, "that I have youth, strength, will and knowledge. Neither my father's nor my country's cause shall suffer." He walked across the room, towering above her in ungainly strength, took both her hands in his and looked deeply Into her eyes. "You mean—" "That If my father is too ill to go, I myself will fight the Japanese. I myself will give what expert advice is needed, and will demonstrate to the others what must be done In battle." Inflamed by the thought of what was dependent upon her, pride in her father, and Americanism, she was ready to accept the responsibility, even though it might cost her life. They stood in silence, holding each other's hands. He stooped over her, his sad eyes filled with an admiration which was akin to veneration, and kissed her. "Joan of Arc! Joan of A r c ! " he whispered, and said no more. She had been told that a train awaited. Together they walked to the door of the president's study through the halls, and to the outer portal. Unheeding those who were near, he caught her hand and held it to his breast, looking once more into her eyes. "God bless and keep you, my child!" •he said, and abruptly turned back to his seclusion, his hoad dropped forward between his massive shoulders and his arms swinging looselv at his sides. The day was not yet clone, and beforo the next had dawneil came the announcement that the Hawaiian islands had also been surrendered to the foe. The coterie of men within the secret held their meeting and congratulated each other that orders had been obeyed, no defense made, and loss of life obviated. But the public must be pacified. T h e swift convening of congress, its authorization of the administration to act, and the appeasing notice to the public that a wolldeflned policy was being pursued, followed one after the other, but still were not understood. Night and day now the president and his associates toiled and planned. Report after report came to them, until they knew that the hour to act had come. The spell of seeming lethaigy was at an end, and with unprecedented swiftness the cordon was thrown round the nation, its ports closed, and its communication shut off save through channels of the secret service, which was intensely active. Time was computed to the minute, and when the fleet, of conquest sailed from Japan the very latitude and longitude of the point where It was to be met were communicated to th* headquarters in Florida, where had been renewed energy. Hence it was that, as darkness once more mantled that isolated spot, a strange scene was witnessed. It was the departure of that invincible squadron of the air for the scene of battle.

Plaids are very pop, ular. There Is also the promise or a return to colored shirt waists, which have not been in vogue for several seasons. Linens are either very heavy, with'a Russian crash effect, or sheer as batiste. Machine embroidery In colore on white, cream, ecru and black and of white on colors Is much used. It also promises to be a season of embroidery and braid trimming rather than lace, and the princess dress will give place to the skirt and waist effect with matching belt. In fact, all things point to a distinct return to curves and the small waist, in direct contrast to the waistless, hlpless, straight-up-and-down effects of winter. Sleeves will be long on shirt waists and tailored tub costumes, while the elbow sleeve will be worn with dainty, huffy afternoon frocks, and evening gowns will have very short sleeves indeed. With these few general hints let the would-be dressmaker plan her first work. Our Illustration shows a design with the shirt waist and skirt both closed on the left side. Skirt and waist are made separately, then attached by narrow belt over which a fancy belt may be worn. This joining prevents sagging and insures a straight line of buttons from shoulder to hem. The skirt is in eight gorta with an inverted plait in the back. The waist gives the broad-shouldered effect by coming out over the sleeves, which are snug-fltting, with only a few gathers at arm's eye and cuff, a striking fea ture of all short waist sleeves this spring. For a blue and white chambray dress, use crocheted linen buttons or cover molds with the chambray, embroidered in Frenoh knots with white ; mercerized floss. This design would I develop in colored linen, blue, raspberry or lavender with white stitching and white buttons; A very smart combination is gray chambray, with whito [ stitching and buttons. If checked or plaid material is used, then the buttons must match. Plaids in particular will stand no trimming,—Boston (Jlobe, *WI" JKARffVINfl lOlWfetf* Justfea fttorastt.

In the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may heknown as Central Canada, there was ft total wheat yield of about '107,000,060 bushels, worth to the farmer about $85,000,000; in addition to this the oat, barley and flax crops were worth another $35,000,000.

"The Government takes great interest in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in. establishing schools where they are called for. The schools, though graded differently than those in the States, are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback has been the limited and inadequate railway facilities, but new roads are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country.

The motley crowd of den cushions is not in keeping with the dignity ol one of these old sofas, and it dawns upon the decorator that to keep the sofa a thing of beauty it is necessary to cover all the sofa pillows with the same shade of velveteen. The two oblong pillows that, so often were a part, of these high-backed, hugearmed sofas have on them a touch of gold to vary what might be monotony if the velveteen is too dark in, color.

Winnipeg, Man.—The idea ofr meeting a real, live, sure enough timber wolf within, the limits of a full-grown city U.rather a startling one, but in Winnipeg it It sot uncommon. A recent vhilt from oae*of these sharks of MM lorest was noted in the society columns of local papers. A late street car was whirling along making up time on a suburban avenue running parallel to the famous Red River of the North when the motorman saw c gray streak fiauh to a position just between the two- rails and stand there threateningly. He had just time to realize.that the object waa an unusually laree, gaunt, gray timber wolf, rrcrrr- Th« Fender Smashed Down to the Accompaniment of a Terrifying Howl. with its neck ruff abrlstle, when the car struck It. The fender snapped down to the accompaniment of a terrifying howl of mixed fright and rage, and Tom Jones, the motorman, shout: Ing to his conductor, turned off the power and yanked the reverse. The conductor and two passengers who were on the car rushed to the front door, the conductor with a heavy switch thrower In his hand, just as the car came to a standstill. The moment the car stopped the big wolf sprang to the ground, bewildered and frightened. The motorman and the conductor elammed open the doors of the vestibule as the wolf leaped Into the darkness and loped off towafil the river bank. Jones pulled his gun and took a couple of pot shots for luck, and the "bone picker" was gone". A moment later, from the river bank, the men heard the long, quavering howl of the true timber wolf echo through the night. The great gray beast was making for the forest in the outlying parks over the snow-covered Ice of the frozen Red. Periodically Winnipeg receives a visit from one or more of these great wolVeB, driven into civilization from the north by the pangs of hunger. They cover great distances In single nights, following the river over the ice. SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD. Last of Auto Party Lost in Desert in Rescued.

Traverse City, Mich.—Frank Trathiu Df Emerson, which Is 45 miles north oi Newberry, is mourning the loss of his fine bulldog, and that mourning is none the less sincere because the dog died In fhe defense of Trathin's life. Emerson is only a small place, consisting of six or seven houses and a sawmill, and the sawmill is the ex cuse for the village, as well as for num erq.ua camps in . the thick woods. Toward one of these camps Trathin started rather late one afternoon. The bulldog always accompanied him wherever he went, and in thia case it was lucky that he did. Trathin has no love for wolves, but despised them for their cowardice, be- Ilevlng that they would not dare attack a man in the daylight, hence he took no weapon with him. After he had gone some distance on his way, he became aware of the fact that he was being followed by wolves. The bulldog was much affected by this and he would run back, growl and then, with his hair standing on end, would use every means at his command to induce hie master to hasten: The eonduct, of th,e dog was such, the animal not usually being afraid of anything on four legs, that-it* fears' Were communicated to Trathin, and be started to r u n . •»•.:. This was the worsi thing he could have done, a» at once four wolves closed in upon him. He had just time to grab a stout club and back up to a tree when they were upon him.

This time the battle wag even more strenuous than at first, and the attacV was so sudden that Trathin and his dog were caught in a space so that, the four animals could attack him on all four sides. For several minutes he fought them off with his stick, the dog fighting valiantly, and finally the bulldog grabbed one of the brutes by the throat. This relieved Trathin and he beat about with the stick to such good effect that the three wolves departed, the bulldog lying down in the snow with its victim, waiting tor it to die. With his face and his hands bleeding and his clothes practically torn to ribbons, Trathin ran Into the camp just at dusk and, as soon as he could speak, told the men his story. He was given a rifle and, with several lumberjacks, set out to kill the band. Arriving at the ptere where the last battle had occurred, the men saw the four wolves apparently fighting amons themselves. Firing into the bunch, two of them were killed and the other two escaped. Lying to one side was all that was left of the bulldog. When Trathin left the other three wolves had returned to aid their companion, and the bulldog, to wive his own life, had been obliged to let go his wolf and fight the others.

The groat dimmer from obesity lies In the liability of the fat to invade the ecllular elements of the body, especially the muscles. This produces fatty degeneration of the muscular tissues, which greatly weakens and Impairs their functional activity. When the fat invades the tissues of the heartmuscles the disease known as "fatty degeneration of the heart" results, and the patient Is In serious danger. Whenever a slight additional strain upon the circulation results from undue exercise, excitement or other cause the muscles interfere with the heart's action, aud It Is liable'to cease beating. Anaemia and hysteria often are accompaniments of obesity. Because of the Increased weight and difficulty of moving about such patients are pre vented from taking an ordinary amount of exercise. Often, too, there are a lassitude and a positive dislike for muscular exertion of any kind. What to Eat. M. £. Church Note*. Tfce MFvises Sunday were well attended.

The earlier part of Victorlen Sardou's career was beset with many trials and difficulties. His parents wished him to take up a medical career, and he began his studies with some zeal. The love of the drama, however, was far greater than the love of the pill box, and In the Inter val of the other work Sardou was busy upon a play. Life was a struggle for him, for he had little money, though he managed to get Journalistic work to supplement his more.slender Income. His first play was a failure. and Sardou rushed from the theater vowing never to enter one again. He fell seriously ill, was nursed back to health by Mile, de lireeourr, an actress who lived on a floor below, and from that time his fortune was made. A very pleasant day was spent by some ot the members of the Putnam and Hamburg Farmers club at the home of Mr. Hendricks. Tbe crowd was not very large but what it lacked in quantity was nude up in quality. Aftet a oouutilul dinner a very interesting program was listened to. Song b y t b e u l u b ; Reading by Alae Van Fleet, entitled "A Fence on the Cliff or an Ambulance in tbe Valley;" and a recitation by Myrna Selioenbals.

The painter charges three or four times as much to put it on. When you pay a painter by the hcur for mixing your paint you can see your hard-earned dollars taking wings. B. P. S. is ready to put on; spreads easily because finely ground. Coarsely ground or hand-mixed paints drag on the brush and add hours to the painter's lime. Ask your dealer or send us a postal for our B.

The near war. Guy Hillier, secretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and take* the Philippines. Guy Hillier starts for England. Norma Roberta leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All porta are closed, fykyo learns .of missing Japanese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency; England decides to send a lteet to American waters as a Canadian protection against what the British suppose Is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hillier is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser Is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral BevinB of the United States. The Dreadnaught. biggest of England's warships, la discovered at an impassable 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, tslllng of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels to Increase speed to over 50 miles an hour. A. city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built on the coast of Florida, Dr. Roberts' first attempt to elec- "trlfy plates proves a failure. In a second effort Norma is knocked unconscious, but the mystery of tnie levitation Is solved, making the most important discovery of centuries. Roberts evolves a great flying machine, rendering warships useless. The cabinet is taken for a visit and plans for a rudloplane war against Japanese are started. The first radioplane is christened "Norma," In honor of the Inventor's daughter. The start for the scene of conflict with a large fleet of monster airships la made with Norma in command. until they reached a common altitude. The cheer below had died away, and all was still. * Then, as if answering the call of 8 baton swung by a god, the palpitant air was riven by a mighty chorus from beneath. Mounting upward there penetrated to them, quivering with terrific fervor, the cry of invincibility voiced in the majestic wordB of that deathless song of battle: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the I^ord; He is trampling ou^ the vintage where his grapes of wrath are stofcd: He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; His truth 1¾ marching on. Out to the west, over sleeping cities and homes, across mountain and plain, chasing the long set sun, they went to meet the fleet of an enemy which was steadily sailing to its doom. The sword of a nation's vengeance was cleaving the night skies in its deliverance of an overwhelming blow. Ju long* .weird, dizify oJrcJaj^ like a wounded man striving to recover his bilane*, a -radlopjane wan -dropping had come upon thenJ4in the ^Ight.^ alowly down toward the waters, in There it was, a iillent'flefet of tip air. ping and writhing, thej flag of the nation they had coxae <to cqoftyjfr; the oldest banner in the world*. gad the one they had been taught1-through months of consideration to * deep-fee. Stars on a field of blue, fit emblem for warriors of the clouds! And.then ere the first flag had straightened out its heavy folds, the colors fluttered'from each birdlike craft, a challenge to battle in which the odds were against them. • - Aloft inthat fleet of the,, air, where all was quiet, there was ao sudden call of excitement. For hours, they had watched an* waited for the appearance of the enemy, and when he was sighted far below In the murk of the dawn each man took his post wlthoutwords; but the martial spirit which sends men to battle burned clear and effectually fighting to -regain its balance. The four inch shells had, done ho damage; but the far ot»tIy*ng er had made an. accidental hit a heavy gun. Zigzagging here atfd there in erratic swoops the radioplane continued to plunge. From the waters, below came the sounds of exenemy were gain CHAPTER XVII.—Continued. And what a difference there was between this fleet and those to which fhe men aboard were accustomed! On those battleships of the seas were magnificent forces of men trained to light, which were numbered by thousands; but here each crew consisted of a bare half-dozen. In the hulls of those vessels of the sea strove a small army, watching over and driving huge engines, and supplying them with steam; here were only one man and an assistant standing before levers,- switches and buttons, which did their work instantaneously and with no noise. In those destroyers of the waters throbbed mighty engines considered the modern triumph of speed; here was a craft that by a finger's pressure could almost run abreast the sun. Those ships bristled with mighty guns; here were no frowning muzzles or unwieldy turrets. Science was bringing an end to brute force, and the last battle against barbarism was at hand. For the first time since its birth the great plant was silent and idle and the men who had created it and by its means built this new fleet of the air were at rest. They had done all they could, and now gathered silently round the radioplanes, which stood in orderly array with portlike doors yawning wide to receive their crews. "Fighting" Bevina stood by his flagcraft, the Norma, and looked at the force under his command. Captains who had handled hundreds ef men and driven their great floating crafts of steel, and engineers' who had learned new calling* waited attentively for his last Instructions. The battle-scarred veteran addressed thera In a voice that needed no high pitch to be audible to all his hearers. "Gentlemen," he said, "I have nothing more to say to you. You are going out to fight what will probably be the last great battle in history. You are active participants in the final chapter of international war. The time is approaching when our profession win be useless, and I for one shall gladly turn to ways of peace." Norma, who had left the bedside of the sleeping inventor, joined the officers, and Bevlns stopped and saluted her. "With us," he continued, "is a girl who has laid all her talents on the altar of country, and is now prepared to jeopardize her life for victory. We can do no less. It may be that some of us will not return—the hazards of war can never be foreseen.

It was in the long gray dawn of the summer morning, and the wide reaching ocean, slate colored in the early light, seemed asleep in its quietude save where it was disturbed by movin fancied security, knowing that not on Pacific waters were there enemies capable of staying its progress, and insolently careiess In superb strength, went the Japanese fleet. The huge flagship, the Ito, forced her way in advance, the apex of a great and formidable trlange, whose sides were formed by other battle ships of scarcely lesB tonnage, graceful cruisers, and swift-moving destroyers, while bringing up the far rear were the colliers in whose hulls were carried fuel for the great armada. Here was the Kashima, which could drive her 17,000 tons of steel through the v ater at 19 knots speed; the Katori, but little smaller and almost as fast; the Asahi, the Mikasa, the Asama, the Tokiwa, and others which were dear to the heart and pride of Nippon — a gallant navy, carefully planned, well constructed, and of invincible size and strength. No squadron that breasted the waves might cause it to hesitate. In the stillness of the morning there came a sudden, sharp exclamation from the man on the lookout, an excited call to the bridge, and the quick step of an officer in answer to the summons. Almost instantly he was followed by another, who brought with him a pair of powerful binoculars, through which he gazed in the direction indicated by the sailor. There in the immeasurable void of the upper air, so high above that it floated in the broader light, soared a covey of gigantic objects unpictured in the lore of flight. Onward it came until almost above, when it stopped and majestically hovered over them, and ing prows. Steaming across Its bosom seemed to be watching and waiting for some rav of broader light. The pallid blue of those far-floating bodies rendered them almost indistinguishable, save when now and then they swung broadside to in deploying, resumed their speed, and swept round in circles. Puzzled and amazed, the officer handed the glasses to his companion and watched his face attentively, as if hoping to read from its expression some solution of this mysterious visitation from the immense unclouded ^>ace above. The glasses were lowered, and the two men with the superstition of ages behind them turned to each other with pallid faces, fearing the supernatural or the unknown. Again they looked, and saw that the flying specks traveled with incredible rapidity, and were apparently observing them, after which, aa they watched, they saw them cotm to an abrupt stop.

The Norma had been the first to decry the oncoming fleet, and Fighting Bevins with his own hand had signaled his followers to reduce speed. Now he stood at the transparent ports, heard the sudden booming alarm, witnessed the excitement on the decks, and smiled with grim joy. By his side stood Norma, and not even he, trained to strife and accustomed from early manhood to scenes of carnage, was more cool or determined. He looked at her questtonlngly, wondering whether or no he should read in her eyes a sign of regret or weakness, and turned from her with a glow of admiration. "Who is going to handle her?" he queried, glancing at the hood. "I am," she replied, as quietly as if answering a query of no moment. He held out his hand and shook hers, warmly. From away in the outer distance, where the angle was not too sharp to prevent its elevation, came the sullen report of a gun, and a shell flew past at such close range that its screaming came to them through the thickness of their plate nnd the open upper ports, sounding Its challenge and defiance above the droning hum of the dynamos. The girl glanced apprehensively upward, but the admiral continued his calm inspection of the Japanese fleet. Again from a vessel closer at hand came a series of sharp reports. The radioplane felt a shivering impact, and careened slightly in answer to its force. The admiral waR hurled against her metal aide, and one of the engineers seized a rail to prevent being thrown headlong against the machinery. "They're trying four-inch shells on ua! are they?" shouted Bevins. "Well, we'll put an end to that right now!" He sprang to the signal box, and Norma, reading his intention, hurried to her post in the hood. He ordered the other craft to increase speed and traverse circles till he. should notify them which war vessels of the fleet be*. neatb were to be their individual prey. Now the n u l l ab*Bs were lag Ue air arojad U**. Ta#. ^Jirieteen's object was made plain. The gretft radioplane shot to a lower altitude than that of its crippled fellow, dove here and there like a bat, caught a simultaneous speed, and rounding apward in a deft swoop poised Itself firmly beneath the lower nlate of Seventeen. "For an Instant the two, locked together and overweighted, slid sldwly downward through the air, and then Nineteen deemed to gather,itself, came to a stop, hesitated for a moment, and began a steady upward movement. As if divining its purpose, two other radioplanes swooped down toward the stricken monster till their sides touched, and then, like a group of warriors carrying a wounded comrade from the field, assisted the ascent into the upper void. Focusing their fire on the. group, t^he, J^panqae made • it a target, and the scream of shot and shell broke into a pandemonium until the air around was churned as by a demon's wrath. Up—up they went till they were mere specks against the dome of the heavens, where they were beyond range and in the profound silence of solitude. The others of the fleet, led by the Norma, hastened to soar toward them; but before tbey could get within speaking distance the wireless brought to all radioplanes this message: "Seventeen was struck by a ten-inch shell directly below her dynamos. Tbe jar caused a temporary break which cut off the current for a short time. This is nearly repaired. No damage of consequence has been done, and she will repert for duty within two mluutes." Bevins and Norma looked at each otVer with a great relief. "Thank God for that!" the admiral said, and it was echoed by his subordinate. They turned again to the port, and as they did so they saw the specks above disintegrate, and ia a few moments Seventeen, repaired, and again capable, was in line of battle. The cheering below ceased; but from the doomed battle ships and cruisers a continuous hail of ineffectual siots was fired, while the admiral of the aerial fleet, his plans formed, was calmly sending orders.

As we sat on t h e veranda of the large bath house and watched the water, and noted the beautiful tint of the sky, the snowy mountains of clouds, heaped up in what we call "thunder heads", the white line of sand edging the dark weter far as sight could reach, sea gulls hovering o'er, we wished an artist wore there to capture and preserve the scene.

The chief justice said: "I do solemnly swear, that I will faithfully execute the constitution of the United States," etc. Senator Knox was standing near Mr. Taft as the oath was being adminis^ tered. He noticed the mistake and smilingly whispered to Mr. Taft: "Don't do it." There was a pause of a few sec onrs and then Mr. Taft with upraised hands spoke the oath in its correct, form: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the duties of the of flee of president of the United States and will to the best of ability presf rve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States " The Inauguration. William H. Taft, of Ohio, and Jameu S. Sherman, of New York, were in augurated Thursday as president and vice president of the United States. Sherman took the oath at 11:12 p. m. and Taft at 12:55. The ceremony of the Inauguration was accompanied with all due formality and finality, but under most unusual conditions, owing to a terrible blizzard which swept over the national capital, paralyzing street traffic, destroying communication with the outside world and bringing dismay to the thousands of assembled visitors who had gathered in expectation of the usual spectacular demonstration. Notwithstanding the adverse conditions, all of the main features of the inauguration were accomplished. The main change was in modifying the original program so that the inaugural address, usually delivered from the east portico of the capitol, was pronounced by Mr. Taft in the. senate chamber, where he also took the oath of office.

New York.—Acting, perhaps, on tht theory that marriage 1B a lottery, Capt. Robert Brunner of Rutherford, N. J., won hla bride at a raffle at a Masonic fair. Of course the^ lady, who waa Miss .Marlon Brinckerhoft Kipp, well known in society and church circles in Rutherford, was not put up as a prise to be raffled for, but, she was won at the raffle jtost the same.

But there was never a hint that they were to be more than mere friends until that Masonic bazar. Miss Kipp was very active in helping at the: bazar. She sold flowers for large sums, and she persuaded gentlemen to take chances in raffle's. Among the prizes to be raffled for were two first-class tickets on the Old Dominion Steamship line from New York to Richmond and return.

McClure.J One day when Colonel Day came back to hia top story room at Mrs. tyllkirm' rooming house he found the room next to his occupied. It had been vacant for a year, and the colonel was not only curious, but nettled. The garret of the house WBH divided into two rooms, uud his wab one, and he had never eveu looked into the other, but as he had so long been the Hole tenant ef the top atory he felt that ho ought to have been consulted as to a newcomer. When he heurd a person moving around in the other half of his do main he went down to Mrs. Wilklns. The colonel waa a man of sixty. He had threadbare garments and an empty puree. While he occupied the cheapest room in the house, it was veil known that he was often hard put to p;iy his rent, while his meals were always taken at the cheapest restaurants. l i e was a man of dignity and education, and that he had once occupied a place in the world could not be doubted. "Mrs. Wilklns," began the colonel as he entered the landlady's presence, "I take it that you have rented the other room, and to a female at t h a t ? " "Yes, colonel, but It is to a young woman who is trying hard to make a Irving." "But you should have consulted me. I have been with you for a year, and I ihould hate to remove to other quar fairs, but please remember that I have certain rights and privileges, and they are not to be abrogated without my consent. I will think it over and con aider what steps to take." Five minutes later he knocked on the door of tlie other room, and it was young woman of ile 1 >o\vcd stithy, ; ;in iuvitat ion for locked around the old inink on the aN i.'les of weariii* MII the nulls A .eroml trlanee have no hop* of getting w e l l * "None whatever." "Ton remember our talk of tang aguY The time eeemed far off then, b u t It is here tonight. Why should you be n month In dying? Why should I seek to Bve for three or four y e a n nior*v" "Yes, wo had a talk," she quietly laid. "Have you any money?" "A dime. Take It and buy you something to eat." "Partners to the last," he said a s ha lulled and rubbed his hands together. "It makes ic far easier where we are to go together. I will be back soon." "And it is going to happen?" she » k e d as he returned with a bulky package. "It must. Why should it n o t ? " "Yes- why not?" Half an hour later the colonel eat ftowxt beside the bed and kindly said: "We have been partners—true partners. I will sit here and hold your hand while we sleep." They found them thus- the policethe tearful landlady the bustling coroner— the reporters. "They simply fell asleep," said the toroner. "The fumes or charcoal always leave that peaceful, restful look in the h u m a a face." M. QUAD. H i a Glauses. He came home In the small hours of the morning, and his loving spouse confronted him with wrath in her eye and a telegram In her hand, saying, "Here Is news that has been waiting for you since supper time." He 1 (linked, looked wise and, braced up against the hatrack, felt through his pockets, murmuring, "I left my glasses down town." "Yes," she replied, with scathing irony, "but you brought the contents with yen." !

"I hardly understand you, sir," she said as she slowly put out her hand. "You are trying to make a living, I take It?" "Yes." "And I am tightin^jjQyerty in hopes to live a few years longeTT^^hauKh why I should care to live another week I do not know. The bond of poverty la between us. Let us be friends." That night, instead of taking his meal at a cheap restaurant, he brought home a loaf of bread and some snugage. Instead of going out to hunt, up a cheap place, she went, out for a bit of butter and a jar of marmalade. They had dinner together In her room. It was the first of many meals. The colonel and the young lady got to be very good friends. They counseled with each other; they cheered and encouraged each other; they deceived each other, or tried to, as to what the future had In store. The woman suffered moat, and yet she was the bravest hearted. From almost the first day of their meeting they looked forward to certain things. Some day the last of his friends would disappear anil his precarious income would cease altogether. He would die before asking I stranger for charity. Some day the Aisease eating at her lungs would demand the penalty, and there would bo no avoiding, it. They talked the matter over for an hour and then dropped It anil never referred to k again. It was the black shadow in their pnth, and yet they fought. It away. One night, a year later, the colonel came borne and found the young woman in bed. The doctor had been there, and the landlady had done all she could do. [t waa the beginning of the end. The eolonel eat down with a softer light on bis face than his partner had seen there for week*, and there was a touch of the exultant In hia voice as he said. "I have come home penniless.

He 1« supported In his theory by physiognomists, who sill endeavor To impress us with the fact that no woman with the small red- Itfcped, "Cupid-how" mouth, so praised in song and story, was ever intellectual ar generous of heart; and it is consoling to those whose mouths are not In iccotdauce with the lines or beauty 'aid dwwh by the poets to be told that i ''wide, Ktruight mouth, with strong white teeth" denotes the woman of superior intelligence, goodness of heart, strength of mind and a thousand and irne other sterling qualities, which we jyl| like to think we possess, says the New York Weekly.

HE WENT PAYS THE - C -*+- A YOUNO MAN'S BRIGHT FUTUHC BLASTED BY A PRISON' ' SENTENOt. STATS NBWS BRIEFS, WAS SKILLED MECHANIC, f_V Secretary Straus does c o t believe In wrenching the contract* labor law out ?f its legitimate function"trf protecting American labor. He has recently admitted to the United States a Canadian girl who desired to enter a trainng school for n'urses. BecaWe all the ?lrls who take the training course are flowed a small compensation, she was \t first denied admission, as a contract laborer. The secretary remarks that training schools for nurses are among 'he most humane of educational insti 'utions, and the fact that certain work Is required as a part ol the training, and certain compensation allowed for It, does not make the student a contract laborer. , Do you chew gum? Certainly not! Why ask the unnecessary question? But then, maybe you eat starch, which a New York authority says is a grow^ Ing habit and one of the most deadly of health destroyers. At all events, young people are so nervous nowadays they must chew something, and if not gum, why then starch, which appeals to vain girls who wish to be beautiful, out it is a pernicious appetite when once contracted, Like every such habit, says the Boston Herald, it is the result of a vacant mind. Feed the mind with thoughts worth the thinking, and girls and boys will not care to be gum chewers or starch eaters. It is always gratifying to meet a person who is contented with his lot. For-that reason it would be delightful to make the acquaintance of the woman who lately had the last word in a brief suffragist controversy. The writer of a suffragist communication in a newspaper wrote, sadly, that, "woman is nothing but a female relative of a man; the man is the noun, the woman Is the preposition." "Well, what,do I care?" was the triumphant retort. "The preposition governs the noun." Among recently elected members to Phi Beta Kappa, the society of picked scholars, is a Harvard student named Tien Tin Chan of Tientsin, China. Two Chinese, Mr. Wen and Mr. Chen, graduate this month from West Point, where they have been, in a sense, guests of the United States.

William Miley, aged !J4, who was sentenced to serve 15 years in the Michigan state prison for robbing .the postoflice at Hillsdale, is the soil of a well-known Indianapolis famriy. u H e is also the inventor of a' continuous rail device for use on railroads and interurban lines, which his family values at $150,uUU. Since- he waa a small boy, William Miley has em* ployed his leisure hours working with different sorts of mechanical devices. He has patented a number of minor inventions, but his continuous rail device on which he obtained patent papers one year ago last month, is the most valuable. Mrs. Miley, the young man's mother, stated that she was in possession of a cigarmaking machine which her sou completed recently, and for which she intends* to ask patttUtij, When seen at the home of her daughter Mrs. Miley said that her son had never been in trouble before. She declared that he had always been industrious, and that he had no bad habits that she knew of. Knowledge of his arrest in Michigan came as a surprise. It is thought she is sufficiently recovered to prevent her condition being made worse on account of the news of his sentence. Miley is by trade a cigarmaker. He worked for a number of years at that trade. Homer Giddiaga, of Hasting*, w i t convicted.-ef selling liquor to Indiana. He wiJ^he aeajLenceU-lat^r^ .< ...

The battle of the drys and wets in Michigan Is on in earnest for the control of the counties where the liquor question will be submitted next month. The counties irr which the great fight will be pulled off a r e : Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Charlevoix, Dickinson, Jackson, Genesee, Washteuaw, Eaton, Alcona, Benzie, Branch, Clare. Emmet, Hillsdale", Huron, Ionia, Iosco, Isabella, Kalkas ka, Lapeer, Livingstone, Mecosia. Monroe, Newaygo, Ottawu,. Sanilac and Tuscola. In many counties—in fact, practically all of'them—the result is-going to be very close, according to the best information available, it is very hard to obtain a definite line on the counties, because both sides are claiming victory by overwhelming figures, Allegan was dry, but went wet two years ago, and is very likely to remain wet, the principal argument being that feaugatuck, which is a big summer resort center, openly violated the law under tho dry regime and conditions were worse than with the saloons operating under a tax. This same argument is being used with effect in Berrien county, where both Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are resort towns. South Haven, which is in Van Buren, supposedly dry, is tho horrible example held, up. The biggest fights of all are being made in Jackson, Washtenaw and Genesee. In the first and last of the trio are big cities, Jackson and Flint, and it is a warrior dry indeed who is willing to stake much that prohibition could over be enforced in eiiher of these cities. Refused Renewal of License. Thirty Michigan branches and 2,.">00 Michigan members, of whom upward of 1,000 are residents of Detroit, are affected by a decision of State Insurance Commissioner James V. Barry to refuse renewal of the license under which the Catholic Knights and Ladies of America fraternal insurance society is doing business in Michigan. Notice of the commissioner's ruling has been forwarded to tho supreme president, of the order, and any attempt on its part to secure new business will be expressly against his injunction. The reason assigned by Commissioner Barry in refusing to renew the society's license is that as yet no satisfactory explanation has been made his department for the treatment accorded Mrs. Catherine A. Tattan, a widow of Detroit, formerly flrRt. vice-president of branch No. 148. /Flofld Fuller, who .was acquitted re i vf A c w i p e u p n M T W E « W T D I ? « rently of' the charge o£ attempting to ^ X - A ^ n a b IJICUXVI I r l t W 1 K 1 « > The Ice Harvest.

The glory of youth, the Inspiration of patriotism, and the determination of fearleastress were blended in their light and exultantly waiting the battle call. Accustomed as he was to the terrible intoxication of fierce conflict, the gray old admiral felt himself enthused by this slip of a girl. He was a man making the last fight of his life with the incarnation of the Goddess of War at his elbow and mutely cheering h i » on to the charge.

Now in hopeless impotence the men on the deck ftf,the, doomj^i I^o lost their heads and ran frantically to and fro. Up to the very.laet, one or two «f the.4iua crew* elev#ted.and firedrelevated and fired—with methodical precisian like men in a trance and aetaated by hawrtonly.

Even the storm of fire {rom, the. other ships had ceased. Norma alone seemed endowed with power of movement, and sprang Quickly from lever to lever and switch to switch, issuing her battle cry. "The dynamos! The dynamos!" she called. "Full speed, and stand clear for fear of accident! I've thrown the magnet currents! Quick! all your power before others can train a gun on us!" Her voice was sharp and decisive, end her words snapped like lashes, driving them to action. "Steady, steady!'' With almost the instantaneouaaess of its stop, the radioplane shivered and throbbed with increased energy.

There, erect, triumphant, and fierce, stood the woman glorified who was striking the first blow for her country's honor and her father's exaltation. She was fairly hurling the machine through space, her hands grasping the levers of descent and; her eyes on the periscope which portrayed the position of their helpless victims. Bavins, in a fury of excitement, shouted U s approval with storms of oaths, completely swept out of himself oy the fierceness of the assault "Good, the darting hawk would have had more chance than they before this onslaught. This gigantic embodiment of doom was leaping down upon them with su*ch terrific velocity and at such an angle of flight as to preclude all possibility of defense. Irresistible, implacable, and noiseless, it was plunging for the final thrust. Its very method of attack was so surprising and so unexpected that, they were awed with fear, helpless, benumbed, despairing and conquered. They were men done to death and suffering the agonies of wounds before the blow had fallen. It was all accomplished with such rapidity that not even the most terrified had time to rush to the rails and throw himself into the sea. When the instant of death seemed imminent, they were paralyzed into inaction and cowered together, waiting for the shock of annihilation. And their suspense, although of a different nature, was scarcely more keen and heartbreaking than that of those in the radioplane which was hurtling at them. The admiral was still crouching like a man prepared for a blow, when Norma with quick energy tilted over another lever and checked the descent. Those within the shell felt, their hearts come back to the normal and were once more able to breathe freely. It was like the application of a powerful brake to a falling elevator, save that there was no abrupt jar, no discordant sound of steel on steel, and no shock of friction. Norma quivered like a race horse under a cruel whip, then steadied itself, seemed to gather its forces together, gave one mighty lift, and began to ascend. The frightened cries from without subsided in stupefaction. The fighting admiral with clenched fists was running the length of the radioplane, staring through the lower ports, and hoarsely voicing his exultation, hiB eyes flaming with the joy of victory. Out on the sluggish waves which had now changed to a coldly gleaming gray the other vessels of the Japanese fleet witnessed the beginnings of catastrophe. They had seen this incredibly monstrous thing drop from ether upon their flagship, crumple its upper works like paper, attach itself to the turrets, and then with phenomenal power actually lift from t i e ocean 20,000 tons of steel—a floating fortress believed but an hour ago to be invincible—and bear it away. Even as they watched they saw this strange god which had grasped the pride of Japan in his clutch deliberately shaping his flight higher and higher into the great void of the heavens and passing out of their world. Of what use were guns against these strange visitants, whose only human mark was the flag of the despised enemy? In hopeless screams of terror their sirens awoke the echoes with weird, despairing wails, and their engines under full speed sent the screws lashing through the water ia a last desperate effort to escape kf waves the superstitious,, sailers t e es ancestors, and prostrated themselves M r \i\$ in fpee^'tpieva** seizure was Ineffectual. 3 •$*?*., * s , the- Mfi, f held f ^ k by the Norma, was becoming a spejk agalntst the disk of the moaning sky, a n t ^ i r of those strange creatures made a scarcely less abrupt descent upon the Kasbima.VStacka and.masts -went down with a crash as had those others. The great wiagies* terror jticfeed her up into the air before b,er enginea could be stopped, ajaq,, with her scrtsw beating the atmosphere like the flutteriug Huts of a fish captured by a marauding eagle, sailed off with her Into the blue above. Once moro they tripd the effect of gunnery, when the Katori was threateuv4;' but it was futile, and, reading *heir doom, they w.aited their turn. It was .not long, in coming; for s e w by twos and threes they were t#rn train the ocean and lifted ajgft. The colliers were the last to'saccumb, and their crews, realizing that the bulhi alone would come in contact with the implacable demon* above, ran screaming below decks to continue their supplications to the deaf gods who had deserted them. From the thick glass of his port the admiral looked down upon his conquered foemen and watched the precision with which his orders were being obeyed. Each time a victim was. seized he shouted: "Three's done her work!" or "Good boy, Seven! You've got him!" and so on enumerating each success. Some movement on the deck of the I to close at hand arrested his attention. His brows came together again In a fierce scowl. "Stand by the magnet levers, Miss Norma," he commanded, "because of these fellows below mean to show the least resistance whatever, we'll drop 'em!" - She had been standing serenely in her hood, her head thrown back, reveling in the glories of triumph. When the fate of the battle had hung upon her performance, and when her own life was threatened, she had thrown herself body and soul into the fray, wide eyed, unresistant, and without a tremor; but now, at the thought of being the executioner of perhaps a thousand men, her face blanched, her limbs trembled, and her hands forgot their task and clasped together in imploration. She was the woman again, ready to plead for the lives of those she had conquered. • "My God! You wouldn't do that, would you?" she said. The old gladiator of the sea turned upon her fiercely, "Do it? Do it? I'd drop them to hell a3 quick as I would to the bottom of the Pacific if they show fight!" he responded. "We're out here to teach a lesson, and they deserve all that's coming to 'em! War is no child's game," he concluded grimly, "and the first ship that wants trouble goes down like a thunderbolt," As if to emphasize his remark, he sprang to the signal box and Issued this sanguinary order to every radioplane in the fleet, while Norma, faint and sick at heart, shut her teeth and with a look of inexpressible pain turned back to her levers. But she was spared this dreadful work. The Japanese officers and men had learned the absolute futility of resistance, and doubted the efficacy of appeal! Their one hope for life now rested in tha humanity and leniency of those who held them in thrall. It took no long chain of reasoning to conclude that an enemy who could pluck them from the seas and without visible effort, lift them more than a mile high could as readily release has hold and send them to destruction with meteorlike speed. Even were it possible to destroy those monsters which clutched them, to do so would be self-annihilation. They were ignored, cut off from those above, and divorced from the waters beneath as if they were creatures of no importance/to be treated like mere troublesome insects, exterminated or spared as their captor's whim might dictate. The glory of an easy conquest in the Philippines, the boastings which had followed the subjugation of Hawaii, the pomp and circumstance of previous conquests—all were obliterated, all erased fsom the scroll of valorous deeds b^ an action which had lasted less than an hour. And now, like beaten legionaries chained to the victor's car. they were being carried away toward the rising sun and an unknown fate.

As in any other business, one must have a liking for the work and become acquainted with all of the factors that enter into the problem. Where one succeeds another faJJs^although the environments of aaoja ilay be the same: Success ' d o W notr depend wholly on t h e kind of soil ifrr* the location or the orchard; these .are minor factors. With a young orchard the first object, after the trees are well set in soil that has had at least two years' preparation,'is'to* adopt stieh'method* of cultivation and fertilization for the land as shall give the tgee&jpoajible^ healthy growth to tk«H treas. The few years that intervene between the setting and the bearing periods are the most vital to the future productiven e s s of the orchard. During this*, period a judicious method of pruning • teust be systematically followed in, order to grow trees of the desired shape. No orchard will yield good returns unless it receives good care and attention.. . .-... . . . Clover is the apple tree!s best friend and right hand supporter. It Is the economical nitrogen . storage battery, the most essential element for the production of the tree. In any case it is much better for each individual orchardist to try his own experiments to determine what his own particular orchard needs in the way of fertilizer than to go haphazard and think that he must do just as his neighbor or some one else does. The fertilizers required on another orchard might be entirely thrown away on his own. A few years spent in a careful, judicious, manner will be the only way to reach a satisfying solution of the fertilizing problem. We writ assume that the belief is prevalent ^haf it pays1 to cultivate and spray whatever the other conditions of the orctiard^Wrty be: s#Mn erdei ?o make the fertilizer test one should treat the trees of the whole orchard alike as to all other conditions.! Th,ls is the only way to make'a satisfactory test and if it is not thoroughly and accurately done the owner will be the only loser and the experiment will be a total failure. Ijt is one of the things to be deplored that the average farmer does not try to use his own individuality in-his business, but is willing to follow the same methods from year to year that he has learned from those who went before. These tail-end methods are not successful and'never will be. The business methods of a decade past could never succeed under the present system. If not in business why should they in farming? The present generation has every opportunity for advancing over the one just passed. HOIMK O R O U N M . i»k. . r lav* • Lawn.

To' prevent shading of shrubs and ornamentals they should not be planted too cldse to the trees. When flowers are planted they should be placed in front of the shrubs to finish the background. tti is not a good plan to cut up the Jawn in front of the house by trees or shrubs; a few small groups of shrubs planted in the proper places will break the monotonous outlines of the lawn. After planting the plants they should receive good care and attention. Plenty of water must be supplied to them, either naturally or artificially. The soil should never, be allowed to become dry.

If the soil around the plants cracks open'too soon after Irrigating, the cracks should be closed by fiilllng with soil or tamping it down. This should be done until the trees or plants are established. Pruning the trees and shrubs should be practiced only when necessary. Plants should be pruned ta give them form, to remove extra growth and dead branches, t h e natural form of the trees, shrubs and ornamentals should be preserved as much as possible.

I made it by sawing an o i l b a r r e l In t w o a s s h o w n and mounting it on legs, writes a correspondent in Farm and Home.

The Latter ts Necessary to the Profitable Raising of the Former. I have given up the idea nf trying to grow hoss and dairy cows sepaarately. If I am to raise hogs I have settled down to the conviction that. I must, have a cow or cows to help raise food for the pigs, and if I am going to keep cows for the purpose of making butter F must keep hogs and pigs to consume the milk. I have a good herd of dairy cows and a number of sows that produce me litters every year. I have not. paid mirch attention to raising fall When the cow's udder is caked or feverish, bathing it with her own warm milk is good. my pork and butter a long ways to market, and not feel it so much as I would to pay high prices for the feed I give my hogs and my cows. The cows are the only means that I know of by which the roughage on the farm can he made good feed for the young pigs and the growing young hogs. When the pastures get short in late summer the hogs are already hair grown and are gathering a larg* part, of their own feed. The cow is not then so much needed, but still the skimmtlk helps out the ration of corn that. I begin to feed as soon as I wish to supplement the pasturage and skimmilk. pigs, for my barns are not suited for 1 find,' too, that it pays to feed skimit; but I raise several litters of spring! milk right through the fattening period, a s the hogs make a better growth on earn and milk and pasturage than they do on corn alone or even on the corn and pasturage. I have an opinion that this good feed helps to keep the hogs growing steadily from their coming into the world till they go out of it. The fact that milk ia so greatly relished by hogs is a pretty good sign that i t Is^p4,jgreat nuJrltiTa value to thema vw pigs and these need milk just at the time the pastures are getting good and spring feed is abundant.. I think that, for this kind of a combination a southern location is better than a northern location. I find, too, that livtng where I have not railroad facilities 1 6 B help to this kind of work, for labor is cheaper'than elsewhere and all kinds of homeraised feedn arp cheaper.

Hall, loaoo. The hall WM UUtily decorated with gram, pink and orange bunting under the supervision of l&tn. Mary Parkw. The table decoration* were the best eveand each table held a vaae of carnations. The Menu was prepared by Mrs. Mark Allison aod it was the opinion of all that it could not be improved upon in any particular. While the guests were standing in their places at the table, E. J . Titmua offered prayer, Mrs. R. C. Smith, our Grange Lecturer, acted aa Toastini&treM and gave the "Address ul'Welcome." We were reminded thai it WIIN the pioneer farmer who fought and wim uur liberty uud spoke of the important part they have played since. She albu spokf oT llieir advancement and the Grange has been one of the organisations that have placed the farmer of today as the man of business and student of science. About SO gut'sta sat down to one of the finest dinners ever birryed in Iosco, and wtien the inner mtui was sntisiicd the program commenced with a song by the Indies trio eoujpobed of Mm. Alice Stowe, Mrs. Mary Parker and Mis» (Jlcllit Stowe. The toasiuiiatress introduced Mrs, Homer Smith who gave the toast "Bruins," she spoke of the great minda that have giveu to the world so much iu literature, science, statesmanship and art, and said there were brains enough in every community to be of help to their fellows it they only use them. The toast i'Little things" was responded to by Mr. J . O'Dell Jr. He said it was the little things '"» life that, taken together, made our great men; little acts of kindneBS that make our great philanthropists; little deeds of love ihttt make happy homes. Mrs. J . O'Dell responded to the'toast " C h a n t y . " She compared it to a garment the fashion of which never changes, and ia cut full enough to cover the unhappy and unfortunate. Some people would not harm a fly, but would pick up every piece of scandal in the community. Charity is giving kind words and deeds; and they need not be wasted as there was an opportunity to use them in every community, even in every home. She thought it charity to hold our tongues unless used for good, A solo by Mrs. R. C. Smith followed and received a hearty ensore. The toast ; Critic" was responded to by A. G. Btowe who gave the competent and honest critic a great deal of praise, as it tended to improve literature, government, music and morals; hut he didn't have much use for the so called critic who was neither competent or honest, and whose sole purpose was to injure others. "The Future Man" by Mrs. E. J . Titmus, said our forefathers courted with oxteams, but today man must have an automobile, and the future man would have a flying machine. The future man would have larger heads to accommodate the brains, and small hands and feet. She could not tell where the man would Ian 1 who was up in an air-ship when the world came to an end. "Advice" given by Mr. C. H. Hill, said we could get good advice of all kinds ou all subjects, but it was not policy to follow all of it. The fathers advice was usualy good, but the boy wanted to see the folly for himself. Mothers advice was always the best she could give, and should he heeded, but the best advice of all was the advice giveu by the lowly Nazarene, the Christ. State Lecturer, Miss Jennie Bueil, talked on ''Outlooks." She spoke of the Grange work and what it had accomplished in the past, its present work and aims, 1 and the men and wnmeii who are being edi ucatod and elevated by attending grange meetings and exchanging views. The outlook for the future was never brighter than now for the Grange work. After "listening: to the male quartet, by E. J. Titmns, G. F. Peterson, C. i, Stowe and E. M. Acker, which was tine and called for an encore, the banquet closed after spending one of the most enjoyable evening ever held in Iosco.

Not by the wordb that issue therefrom, hut by the shape and color of the Jiys, and th«t jUipu* *Ud d^wplee that gather about ihlBittiporuuit feature. He 1« supported In his theory by physiognomists, who sill endeavor To impress us with the fact that no woman with the small red- Itfcped, "Cupid-how" mouth, so praised in song and story, was ever intellectual ar generous of heart; and it is consoling to those whose mouths are not In iccotdauce with the lines or beauty 'aid dwwh by the poets to be told that i ''wide, Ktruight mouth, with strong white teeth" denotes the woman of superior intelligence, goodness of heart, strength of mind and a thousand and irne other sterling qualities, which we jyl| like to think we possess, says the New York Weekly. It is the fashion *t present to hold the lips very slighty apart. ; T h i s fs supposed'to give-that nnocent, wistful, wonderful expression which wag'tlffer" peculiar property of the heroines of old-fashioned novels, 5ut which bicy.cle riding and kindred •spodern amusements have caused to vanish. HE WENT PAYS THE - C -*+- A YOUNO MAN'S BRIGHT FUTUHC BLASTED BY A PRISON' ' SENTENOt. STATS NBWS BRIEFS, WAS SKILLED MECHANIC, f_V Secretary Straus does c o t believe In wrenching the contract* labor law out ?f its legitimate function"trf protecting American labor. He has recently admitted to the United States a Canadian girl who desired to enter a trainng school for n'urses. BecaWe all the ?lrls who take the training course are flowed a small compensation, she was \t first denied admission, as a contract laborer. The secretary remarks that training schools for nurses are among 'he most humane of educational insti 'utions, and the fact that certain work Is required as a part ol the training, and certain compensation allowed for It, does not make the student a contract laborer. , Do you chew gum? Certainly not! Why ask the unnecessary question? But then, maybe you eat starch, which a New York authority says is a grow^ Ing habit and one of the most deadly of health destroyers. At all events, young people are so nervous nowadays they must chew something, and if not gum, why then starch, which appeals to vain girls who wish to be beautiful, out it is a pernicious appetite when once contracted, Like every such habit, says the Boston Herald, it is the result of a vacant mind. Feed the mind with thoughts worth the thinking, and girls and boys will not care to be gum chewers or starch eaters. It is always gratifying to meet a person who is contented with his lot. For-that reason it would be delightful to make the acquaintance of the woman who lately had the last word in a brief suffragist controversy. The writer of a suffragist communication in a newspaper wrote, sadly, that, "woman is nothing but a female relative of a man; the man is the noun, the woman Is the preposition." "Well, what,do I care?" was the triumphant retort. "The preposition governs the noun." Among recently elected members to Phi Beta Kappa, the society of picked scholars, is a Harvard student named Tien Tin Chan of Tientsin, China. Two Chinese, Mr. Wen and Mr. Chen, graduate this month from West Point, where they have been, in a sense, guests of the United States. The students who are to come to America as beneficiaries of the returned "Boxer indemnity" fund will find that their countrymen have set them a high standard in American colleges. •M i ; .

William Miley, aged !J4, who was sentenced to serve 15 years in the Michigan state prison for robbing .the postoflice at Hillsdale, is the soil of a well-known Indianapolis famriy. u H e is also the inventor of a' continuous rail device for use on railroads and interurban lines, which his family values at $150,uUU. Since- he waa a small boy, William Miley has em* ployed his leisure hours working with different sorts of mechanical devices. He has patented a number of minor inventions, but his continuous rail device on which he obtained patent papers one year ago last month, is the most valuable. Mrs. Miley, the young man's mother, stated that she was in possession of a cigarmaking machine which her sou completed recently, and for which she intends* to ask patttUtij, When seen at the home of her daughter Mrs. Miley said that her son had never been in trouble before. She declared that he had always been industrious, and that he had no bad habits that she knew of. Knowledge of his arrest in Michigan came as a surprise. It is thought she is sufficiently recovered to prevent her condition being made worse on account of the news of his sentence. Miley is by trade a cigarmaker. He worked for a number of years at that trade. Homer Giddiaga, of Hasting*, w i t convicted.-ef selling liquor to Indiana. He wiJ^he aeajLenceU-lat^r^ .< ...

The battle of the drys and wets in Michigan Is on in earnest for the control of the counties where the liquor question will be submitted next month. The counties irr which the great fight will be pulled off a r e : Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Charlevoix, Dickinson, Jackson, Genesee, Washteuaw, Eaton, Alcona, Benzie, Branch, Clare. Emmet, Hillsdale", Huron, Ionia, Iosco, Isabella, Kalkas ka, Lapeer, Livingstone, Mecosia. Monroe, Newaygo, Ottawu,. Sanilac and Tuscola. In many counties—in fact, practically all of'them—the result is-going to be very close, according to the best information available, it is very hard to obtain a definite line on the counties, because both sides are claiming victory by overwhelming figures, Allegan was dry, but went wet two years ago, and is very likely to remain wet, the principal argument being that feaugatuck, which is a big summer resort center, openly violated the law under tho dry regime and conditions were worse than with the saloons operating under a tax. This same argument is being used with effect in Berrien county, where both Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are resort towns. South Haven, which is in Van Buren, supposedly dry, is tho horrible example held, up. The biggest fights of all are being made in Jackson, Washtenaw and Genesee. In the first and last of the trio are big cities, Jackson and Flint, and it is a warrior dry indeed who is willing to stake much that prohibition could over be enforced in eiiher of these cities. Refused Renewal of License. Thirty Michigan branches and 2,.">00 Michigan members, of whom upward of 1,000 are residents of Detroit, are affected by a decision of State Insurance Commissioner James V. Barry to refuse renewal of the license under which the Catholic Knights and Ladies of America fraternal insurance society is doing business in Michigan. Notice of the commissioner's ruling has been forwarded to tho supreme president, of the order, and any attempt on its part to secure new business will be expressly against his injunction. The reason assigned by Commissioner Barry in refusing to renew the society's license is that as yet no satisfactory explanation has been made his department for the treatment accorded Mrs. Catherine A. Tattan, a widow of Detroit, formerly flrRt. vice-president of branch No. 148. /Flofld Fuller, who .was acquitted re i vf A c w i p e u p n M T W E « W T D I ? « rently of' the charge o£ attempting to ^ X - A ^ n a b IJICUXVI I r l t W 1 K 1 « > The Ice Harvest.

The glory of youth, the Inspiration of patriotism, and the determination of fearleastress were blended in their light and exultantly waiting the battle call. Accustomed as he was to the terrible intoxication of fierce conflict, the gray old admiral felt himself enthused by this slip of a girl. He was a man making the last fight of his life with the incarnation of the Goddess of War at his elbow and mutely cheering h i » on to the charge.

Even the storm of fire {rom, the. other ships had ceased. Norma alone seemed endowed with power of movement, and sprang Quickly from lever to lever and switch to switch, issuing her battle cry. "The dynamos! The dynamos!" she called. "Full speed, and stand clear for fear of accident! I've thrown the magnet currents! Quick! all your power before others can train a gun on us!" Her voice was sharp and decisive, end her words snapped like lashes, driving them to action. "Steady, steady!'' With almost the instantaneouaaess of its stop, the radioplane shivered and throbbed with increased energy.

There, erect, triumphant, and fierce, stood the woman glorified who was striking the first blow for her country's honor and her father's exaltation. She was fairly hurling the machine through space, her hands grasping the levers of descent and; her eyes on the periscope which portrayed the position of their helpless victims. Bavins, in a fury of excitement, shouted U s approval with storms of oaths, completely swept out of himself oy the fierceness of the assault "Good, the darting hawk would have had more chance than they before this onslaught. This gigantic embodiment of doom was leaping down upon them with su*ch terrific velocity and at such an angle of flight as to preclude all possibility of defense. Irresistible, implacable, and noiseless, it was plunging for the final thrust. Its very method of attack was so surprising and so unexpected that, they were awed with fear, helpless, benumbed, despairing and conquered. They were men done to death and suffering the agonies of wounds before the blow had fallen. It was all accomplished with such rapidity that not even the most terrified had time to rush to the rails and throw himself into the sea. When the instant of death seemed imminent, they were paralyzed into inaction and cowered together, waiting for the shock of annihilation. And their suspense, although of a different nature, was scarcely more keen and heartbreaking than that of those in the radioplane which was hurtling at them. The admiral was still crouching like a man prepared for a blow, when Norma with quick energy tilted over another lever and checked the descent. Those within the shell felt, their hearts come back to the normal and were once more able to breathe freely. It was like the application of a powerful brake to a falling elevator, save that there was no abrupt jar, no discordant sound of steel on steel, and no shock of friction. Norma quivered like a race horse under a cruel whip, then steadied itself, seemed to gather its forces together, gave one mighty lift, and began to ascend. The frightened cries from without subsided in stupefaction. The fighting admiral with clenched fists was running the length of the radioplane, staring through the lower ports, and hoarsely voicing his exultation, hiB eyes flaming with the joy of victory. Out on the sluggish waves which had now changed to a coldly gleaming gray the other vessels of the Japanese fleet witnessed the beginnings of catastrophe. They had seen this incredibly monstrous thing drop from ether upon their flagship, crumple its upper works like paper, attach itself to the turrets, and then with phenomenal power actually lift from t i e ocean 20,000 tons of steel—a floating fortress believed but an hour ago to be invincible—and bear it away. Even as they watched they saw this strange god which had grasped the pride of Japan in his clutch deliberately shaping his flight higher and higher into the great void of the heavens and passing out of their world. Of what use were guns against these strange visitants, whose only human mark was the flag of the despised enemy? In hopeless screams of terror their sirens awoke the echoes with weird, despairing wails, and their engines under full speed sent the screws lashing through the water ia a last desperate effort to escape kf waves the superstitious,, sailers t e es ancestors, and prostrated themselves M r \i\$ in fpee^'tpieva** seizure was Ineffectual. 3 •$*?*., * s , the- Mfi, f held f ^ k by the Norma, was becoming a spejk agalntst the disk of the moaning sky, a n t ^ i r of those strange creatures made a scarcely less abrupt descent upon the Kasbima.VStacka and.masts -went down with a crash as had those others. The great wiagies* terror jticfeed her up into the air before b,er enginea could be stopped, ajaq,, with her scrtsw beating the atmosphere like the flutteriug Huts of a fish captured by a marauding eagle, sailed off with her Into the blue above. Once moro they tripd the effect of gunnery, when the Katori was threateuv4;' but it was futile, and, reading *heir doom, they w.aited their turn. It was .not long, in coming; for s e w by twos and threes they were t#rn train the ocean and lifted ajgft. The colliers were the last to'saccumb, and their crews, realizing that the bulhi alone would come in contact with the implacable demon* above, ran screaming below decks to continue their supplications to the deaf gods who had deserted them. From the thick glass of his port the admiral looked down upon his conquered foemen and watched the precision with which his orders were being obeyed. Each time a victim was. seized he shouted: "Three's done her work!" or "Good boy, Seven! You've got him!" and so on enumerating each success. Some movement on the deck of the I to close at hand arrested his attention. His brows came together again In a fierce scowl. "Stand by the magnet levers, Miss Norma," he commanded, "because of these fellows below mean to show the least resistance whatever, we'll drop 'em!" - She had been standing serenely in her hood, her head thrown back, reveling in the glories of triumph. When the fate of the battle had hung upon her performance, and when her own life was threatened, she had thrown herself body and soul into the fray, wide eyed, unresistant, and without a tremor; but now, at the thought of being the executioner of perhaps a thousand men, her face blanched, her limbs trembled, and her hands forgot their task and clasped together in imploration. She was the woman again, ready to plead for the lives of those she had conquered. • "My God! You wouldn't do that, would you?" she said. The old gladiator of the sea turned upon her fiercely, "Do it? Do it? I'd drop them to hell a3 quick as I would to the bottom of the Pacific if they show fight!" he responded. "We're out here to teach a lesson, and they deserve all that's coming to 'em! War is no child's game," he concluded grimly, "and the first ship that wants trouble goes down like a thunderbolt," As if to emphasize his remark, he sprang to the signal box and Issued this sanguinary order to every radioplane in the fleet, while Norma, faint and sick at heart, shut her teeth and with a look of inexpressible pain turned back to her levers. But she was spared this dreadful work. The Japanese officers and men had learned the absolute futility of resistance, and doubted the efficacy of appeal! Their one hope for life now rested in tha humanity and leniency of those who held them in thrall. It took no long chain of reasoning to conclude that an enemy who could pluck them from the seas and without visible effort, lift them more than a mile high could as readily release has hold and send them to destruction with meteorlike speed. Even were it possible to destroy those monsters which clutched them, to do so would be self-annihilation. They were ignored, cut off from those above, and divorced from the waters beneath as if they were creatures of no importance/to be treated like mere troublesome insects, exterminated or spared as their captor's whim might dictate. The glory of an easy conquest in the Philippines, the boastings which had followed the subjugation of Hawaii, the pomp and circumstance of previous conquests—all were obliterated, all erased fsom the scroll of valorous deeds b^ an action which had lasted less than an hour. And now, like beaten legionaries chained to the victor's car. they were being carried away toward the rising sun and an unknown fate.

As in any other business, one must have a liking for the work and become acquainted with all of the factors that enter into the problem. Where one succeeds another faJJs^although the environments of aaoja ilay be the same: Success ' d o W notr depend wholly on t h e kind of soil ifrr* the location or the orchard; these .are minor factors. With a young orchard the first object, after the trees are well set in soil that has had at least two years' preparation,'is'to* adopt stieh'method* of cultivation and fertilization for the land as shall give the tgee&jpoajible^ healthy growth to tk«H treas. The few years that intervene between the setting and the bearing periods are the most vital to the future productiven e s s of the orchard. During this*, period a judicious method of pruning • teust be systematically followed in, order to grow trees of the desired shape. No orchard will yield good returns unless it receives good care and attention.. . .-... . . . Clover is the apple tree!s best friend and right hand supporter. It Is the economical nitrogen . storage battery, the most essential element for the production of the tree. In any case it is much better for each individual orchardist to try his own experiments to determine what his own particular orchard needs in the way of fertilizer than to go haphazard and think that he must do just as his neighbor or some one else does. The fertilizers required on another orchard might be entirely thrown away on his own. A few years spent in a careful, judicious, manner will be the only way to reach a satisfying solution of the fertilizing problem. We writ assume that the belief is prevalent ^haf it pays1 to cultivate and spray whatever the other conditions of the orctiard^Wrty be: s#Mn erdei ?o make the fertilizer test one should treat the trees of the whole orchard alike as to all other conditions.! Th,ls is the only way to make'a satisfactory test and if it is not thoroughly and accurately done the owner will be the only loser and the experiment will be a total failure. Ijt is one of the things to be deplored that the average farmer does not try to use his own individuality in-his business, but is willing to follow the same methods from year to year that he has learned from those who went before. These tail-end methods are not successful and'never will be. The business methods of a decade past could never succeed under the present system. If not in business why should they in farming? The present generation has every opportunity for advancing over the one just passed. HOIMK O R O U N M . i»k. . r lav* • Lawn.

When flowers are planted they should be placed in front of the shrubs to finish the background. tti is not a good plan to cut up the Jawn in front of the house by trees or shrubs; a few small groups of shrubs planted in the proper places will break the monotonous outlines of the lawn.

I made it by sawing an o i l b a r r e l In t w o a s s h o w n and mounting it on legs, writes a correspondent in Farm and Home. I painted it in nice shape and set one-half of the barrel on each side of the walk and used them for growing flowers in during the summer. They are very pretty. The Latter ts Necessary to the Profitable Raising of the Former. I have given up the idea nf trying to grow hoss and dairy cows sepaarately. If I am to raise hogs I have settled down to the conviction that. I must, have a cow or cows to help raise food for the pigs, and if I am going to keep cows for the purpose of making butter F must keep hogs and pigs to consume the milk. I have a good herd of dairy cows and a number of sows that produce me litters every year. I have not. paid mirch attention to raising fall When the cow's udder is caked or feverish, bathing it with her own warm milk is good. my pork and butter a long ways to market, and not feel it so much as I would to pay high prices for the feed I give my hogs and my cows. The cows are the only means that I know of by which the roughage on the farm can he made good feed for the young pigs and the growing young hogs. When the pastures get short in late summer the hogs are already hair grown and are gathering a larg* part, of their own feed. The cow is not then so much needed, but still the skimmtlk helps out the ration of corn that. I begin to feed as soon as I wish to supplement the pasturage and skimmilk. pigs, for my barns are not suited for 1 find,' too, that it pays to feed skimit; but I raise several litters of spring! milk right through the fattening period, a s the hogs make a better growth on earn and milk and pasturage than they do on corn alone or even on the corn and pasturage. I have an opinion that this good feed helps to keep the hogs growing steadily from their coming into the world till they go out of it. The fact that milk ia so greatly relished by hogs is a pretty good sign that i t Is^p4,jgreat nuJrltiTa value to thema vw pigs and these need milk just at the time the pastures are getting good and spring feed is abundant.. I think that, for this kind of a combination a southern location is better than a northern location. I find, too, that livtng where I have not railroad facilities 1 6 B help to this kind of work, for labor is cheaper'than elsewhere and all kinds of homeraised feedn arp cheaper.

He was a man worth while. I regret sincerely the death of such a man," "Extermination of the Black Hand" is the slogan now, not only of the New York police department, to which the Italian criminal class had always been the gravest menace, but of the police department of every large city in the country. A special detail of police is now working under orders to corral every Black Hand suspect in New York city. The police will not wait to catch their men rod-handed.

Interest was attached in official circles to the denials of the presidents of Nicaragua and Salvador of the stories that hostilities between the two countries had broken out, but it was stated that such rumors played only a part In a situation which, to employ the expression of a high official, had become very disagreeable.

Hall, loaoo. The hall WM UUtily decorated with gram, pink and orange bunting under the supervision of l&tn. Mary Parkw. The table decoration* were the best eveand each table held a vaae of carnations. The Menu was prepared by Mrs. Mark Allison aod it was the opinion of all that it could not be improved upon in any particular. While the guests were standing in their places at the table, E. J . Titmua offered prayer, Mrs. R. C. Smith, our Grange Lecturer, acted aa Toastini&treM and gave the "Address ul'Welcome." We were reminded thai it WIIN the pioneer farmer who fought and wim uur liberty uud spoke of the important part they have played since. She albu spokf oT llieir advancement and the Grange has been one of the organisations that have placed the farmer of today as the man of business and student of science. About SO gut'sta sat down to one of the finest dinners ever birryed in Iosco, and wtien the inner mtui was sntisiicd the program commenced with a song by the Indies trio eoujpobed of Mm. Alice Stowe, Mrs. Mary Parker and Mis» (Jlcllit Stowe. The toasiuiiatress introduced Mrs, Homer Smith who gave the toast "Bruins," she spoke of the great minda that have giveu to the world so much iu literature, science, statesmanship and art, and said there were brains enough in every community to be of help to their fellows it they only use them. The toast i'Little things" was responded to by Mr. J . O'Dell Jr. He said it was the little things '"» life that, taken together, made our great men; little acts of kindneBS that make our great philanthropists; little deeds of love ihttt make happy homes. Mrs. J . O'Dell responded to the'toast " C h a n t y . " She compared it to a garment the fashion of which never changes, and ia cut full enough to cover the unhappy and unfortunate. Some people would not harm a fly, but would pick up every piece of scandal in the community. Charity is giving kind words and deeds; and they need not be wasted as there was an opportunity to use them in every community, even in every home. She thought it charity to hold our tongues unless used for good, A solo by Mrs. R. C. Smith followed and received a hearty ensore. The toast ; Critic" was responded to by A. G. Btowe who gave the competent and honest critic a great deal of praise, as it tended to improve literature, government, music and morals; hut he didn't have much use for the so called critic who was neither competent or honest, and whose sole purpose was to injure others. "The Future Man" by Mrs. E. J . Titmus, said our forefathers courted with oxteams, but today man must have an automobile, and the future man would have a flying machine. The future man would have larger heads to accommodate the brains, and small hands and feet. She could not tell where the man would Ian 1 who was up in an air-ship when the world came to an end. "Advice" given by Mr. C. H. Hill, said we could get good advice of all kinds ou all subjects, but it was not policy to follow all of it. The fathers advice was usualy good, but the boy wanted to see the folly for himself. Mothers advice was always the best she could give, and should he heeded, but the best advice of all was the advice giveu by the lowly Nazarene, the Christ. State Lecturer, Miss Jennie Bueil, talked on ''Outlooks." She spoke of the Grange work and what it had accomplished in the past, its present work and aims, 1 and the men and wnmeii who are being edi ucatod and elevated by attending grange meetings and exchanging views. The outlook for the future was never brighter than now for the Grange work. After "listening: to the male quartet, by E. J. Titmns, G. F. Peterson, C. i, Stowe and E. M. Acker, which was tine and called for an encore, the banquet closed after spending one of the most enjoyable evening ever held in Iosco.

Are there no public libraries, no Carnegies in Australia? For w h a t do you suppose is the very choicest novelty for an Australian? Nothing more nor less than "a literary lounge," a book arcade, "where everybody Is welcome." Plenty of chairs, the reading of a million books on the shelves, string band playing in the afternoon and evening, and light refreshments on hand! The idea may well tickle the bookworm who browses in small, stuffy bookshops or is absorbed into the British museum, but it sounds queer to all who possess Carnegie libraries galore; while as to the Boston citizen, he simply pities anybody who hasn't a card to "his public library."

The grand jury investigating t h e Armstrong wardenahlp of ihe Michigan state prison Friday morning divided its time among the doings in the warden's residence, the halt ttd which the saate board of corrections and charities brought him in his punishment of prisoners and the workings of the s t a t e pardoa board. Ex-Convict Peter Lamarind, Convict Benjamin and Convict Smith, all of whom worked in the prison residence, testified that boxes were packed with chickens, eggs, extract of beef, canned' goods, bottled delicacies and other fancy groceries bought from Carlton & Windt and shipped to Armstrong's daughter after she took up her residence in South Bend. Smith is the colored cook of the prison household. He said: "The old njan came out to m e after this affair had blown up and said: 'Well, Smith, they've got me falling. I'm going to fall hard. But I'm a —— if I'll drag anybody down with me.' "The Saturday night the old man was arrested he and his wife walked the floor all night. Mrs. Armstrong drank nine cups of clear black coffee so fast that I began to think I'd need a bicycle to get "em to her quick enough. One day a little while after that she came out into the kitchen and danced a regular barn dance, best hoedown I've ever seen since I came from the south. She had heard nomc good or other." "The missus is the one with the brains in that family. She knows more in a minute than Armstrong will all his life." Dr. Dayton Parker, member of the state board of corrections and charities, was asked about the irvestigation made by the board into methods of punishment imposed at the prison and the subsequent order abolishing the cruelest form of it. "When we were considering the plans which Armstrong had framed up and asked an appropriation of $200,000 for the new cell block and other improvements," said Dr. Parker, "we struck on the head which finally developed our order for the abolition of the so-called stringing up punishment." "'Let's see your punishment cells,' we said to the warden. "'They are filled today,' he replied. " ' S o much the better, that's just when we want to see them.' " 'Then you will have to see the deputy warden,' he said. "We did, and found that Armstrong had ordered men handcuffed with their hands manacled behind them and then strung up with chains to the sides or doors of their cells. The little doctor, Dr, Pray, told us that he had to stand over the men and watch to see that they were not punished past the limit of human endurance. "We called Armstrong in. and he defended (he procedure, He said he considered it conducive to discipline. We pointed out that solitary confinement or a good spanking would do more; that this sort of thing was cruel, and further that it defeated the very end he aimed al—it made each convict in punishment think he was a martyr, and encouraged him to hold out as long as possible. Then we ordered the warden to discontinue it." "Did you hear that, he got the idea for it f ^ m the Detroit house of correction?^ Dr. Parker was asked. "Well, he claimed that, but I hardly think the claim correct. We never investigated the house of correction on that point. We trust Supt. McDonnell. I think he just shoves a man into a dark cell and leaves him there to think it over." Opponents of vivisection are not likely to find serious fault with the I phase in which it presented itself at. J Hubbardston, Mass.,-the other day.

The outcome of the case is uncertain, but it would have been equally uncertain if the contribution of cuticle had been made by schoolmates of the unfortunate girl.

The 8pring Elections. There is absolutely no general interest in the approaching spring election, and if it. were not for the local option fights in a number of the counties, the vote would probably be the smallest cast in ihe state in many years. There is no discussion on the state ticket at the capital. In the counties where the liquor question Is to be voted on, there is naturally a great, deal of interest, hut it is confined to the one proposition. Some of the incidents in the liquor fights are laughable. In many of the counties the Anti-Saloon league distributed cards offering a reward of $50 for any evidence which would lead to the conviction of any person offering money for a vote "against local option." This the liquor people have bettered by putting out a card making the same offer in rugard to a bribe "for or against" local option. Mark S.

NOW THE FATHER OF THE WO MAN HA8 DECIDED TO HELP IN DEFENSE. KIDNAPERS IN PA. JAIL .I0YLE15 A H D E -h~ •>\ Latest Reports About tha Boyis Woman and Her Connection With thy Whit I a Cas«. James H. Boyle and Heten Boyle, alias Faulkner, was indicted by the county grand Jury in Cleveland Thursday, charged with blackmail. The charge is based on the payment ot th€ $10,000 ranaom by James P. Wbltla for the recovery of his son, kidnaped by them. Willie Whitla late Wednesday afternoon identified the two suspects as "Mr. and Mrs. Jones," who took him from school in Sharon a week ago and kept him a prisoner in the Granger house, a first-class rooming house in Cleveland, until ransomed. Mrs. Boyle, who was the "nurse" in the Whitla kidnaping case, WRB formerly Miss Anna McDermott, aged 22, of Chicago. William McDermott, a retired member of the Chicago fire 4epartment, is her. father. When shown a full description of the woman he broke down and declared that it was his daughter. He and his family had been hoping against hope that there had been some mistake in the identification., Mr. Mc- Dermott's story of his daughaer's life is; that of a wayward girl. Anna, according to her father, was, as a child, one of the prettiest, one ot the- brightest, in the ueighborhcod. She was given every possible advantage of education and careful moral training, but as she approached womanhood" -»he fy»H into company of which the old fireman did not approve. Quarrels were frequent, and about three years ago Anna eloped. Since that time her history has been a blank to her Chicago kin. Even the name of the man with whom she cast her fortunes was unknown to them. They carefully read from day to day the story of the kidnaping of Willie Whitla, of his return to his parents, and the arrest of the "Boylesi" but vthey, never dreamed .of connecting "Mrs.' Boyle" with^ winsome, headstrvongf Anna, w,ho haft, degfceted-. her home to follow, unknqwp.jmthB.

According to the correspondent the young woman, when told that her father was in Pittsburg and had retained a lawyer to look after her interests, said: "I'm tired and sick of the whole business. There is no use denying it any longer. I am Anna McDermott and my father is William McDermott, of Chicago. "I have told many lies lately, but now I will tell you the truth. Yes, he is my father." "My early education," continued Mrs. Boyle, "was received in the public schools and later I was sent, to a convent in Wisconsin. What was its name? Well that is not necessary. My mother has been dead for several years. I really am Mrs. Boyle. WTe were married three years ago. No, we have no children, but I am very fond of little ones. "Afraid to stand trial? No. When I go on the stand and tell my story it will throw an entirely different, light on the kidnaping episode. Until then I would ask the public to withhold its judgment. I want you to correct one thing for me. In no way am I related to the Whitlas or Buhls in Sharon. "I mean to stand by my husband through this affair. T do not know what his connection with the whole dreadful thing is, but I am sure he was not the instigator of the kidnaping plot. I will not say whether ho had any knowledge or not." WIRELETS.

The officers, having heard that t h e , Indtfss and negroes were again peaoe-'t able after the battle of Thursday: morning, approached the cabin of Harjo, near Hickory Ground, without fear, As they were entering the chief's yard 20 gunB were leveled upon them b y - a s many men in thehouse and around the corners. Odom and Baum fell doad and Swift was seriously w_ounded. Jones ran a few yards and hid himself in a clump of trees until the Indians disappeared. Then he hurried to Pierce.

Within an hour it -waa known that a cordon of soldiers surrounded the city, and that all traffic or com- 1 munlcatlon with the outside world was interdicted. Seattle had b«en isolated. Thus it was that the presence of.the captured fleet and the method of its taking were unknown to the'country at large. Seattle extended all consistent courtesies to the vanquished; but it afforded little balm. And thus it was that for many days, imprisoned, powerless, and lost, with crippled tops, crushed * tacks and under the white flag of surrender, the dower of Japanese prowess floated on an Inland. sea in sullen mourning, while the gasping world shuddered in contemplation of its fate. S Y N O P 8 I 8 . "Vanishing Fleets," a story of "what might have bapp«ne<V opeiuj tn Wa«blogton with the united States and Japan near' war: Guy Htllter, necretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are Introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy Hllller start* for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. Ail ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hllller Is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Be vine of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warskips, is discovered at an impassable poilt 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 production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels. A city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built. The mystery of true levitatlon la solved. Roberts evolves a great, flying machine. The cabinet plans a radloplane war against Japanese. The start for the scene of conflict with a large fleet of monster airships la made with Norma in command. The Japanese fleet, believing Nippon supreme, suddenly discerns the radioplane fleet. After maneuvering the airships deseend, and by use of strong mugnets lift the airships, one by one, from the Bea. The trip to the west coast of America is then commenced. Because of a partially disabled radloplane, one of the warships is dropped into the sea after the men are transferred to another. The vessels are deposited in a mountain lake in the United States to await peacvt CHAPTER XIX—Continued. "Men," he said, "I take no credit for the result, and I'm big enough so to report to Washington. This battle brought out three heroes. Brockton, Jenkins and above all this little girl, Norma Roberts." His "God bless her!" was lost In the tumult. They were men intoxicated with the wine of victory. They yelled themselves hoarse. They patted one another on the back, hurled their caps into the air, and finally formed escorts of honor to conduct the men and officers of the fleet to their cabins, asking over and over for details of the fight. And even as those tired fighters went to rest, in a city across the continent newsboys were crying their extras through the streets, and the citlaens of a great city were asking ortb another how the night had worked its miracle. A lounging patrolman In Ravenna park, which bordered on Lake Washington, had sleepily rubbed his eyes as the svm was tinting the everlasting snows of the Olympics, and had conae to a sudden stop, leaning against a tree and wondering if he was still asleep; hut with his knuckles he could not obliterate the floatfas vision before him. He convinced himself by a lusty hail: "Hello, out there! What are you doing? Get off that lake!" and hack to him there volleyed a storm of objurgations in an unknown tongue. Not until he had called a fellow officer and rowed a boat round those fallen monarchs of the deep did he learn that they were captive to his 'country, and then, elated with the news, he hastened to impart it. But this was not the only surprise for Seattle. For* some clays preceding troops had been pouring Into the port, and it had been the general belief that they were being mobilized preparatory to embarkation for the Philippines or Ttplll Oh this morning, however, tfetra waa an exodus. Nearly all the troops had disappeared In the night. Likewise there were strange happenings in the telegraph offices. When men went to consign messages they were met with the Intelligence that t h * wires were in charge of military operators, that nothing could be received for any point beyond the borders of the United States, and that all messages without exception would be censored before transmission. The newspapers fumed and roared, until they learned that, all incoming news would pass uninterruptedly; but that for purposes known only to the government the story of the presence of the Japanese fleet would he closely guarded for the time being. For once the Post-Intelligence, the Times' and Star united in attacking the. administration. ' > « : r - . " C H A P T E R X X . What Befell the Emperor. Like a lonely rock that has withstood the fury of a storm and the battering of the seas to emerge a.galn into sunlight, the president felt his time of justification approaching. His hour of triumph was at hand, and his prayers were being answered; but the ta^k was not yet done. The unqualified victory over the Japanese fleet made the outcome of telegra£h_ communication, and the peuarttrre from the'key'Vas also under COTST of darkness. Again there was a resemblaaoe to the Japanose affair, in that the appearance of the radioplanes created surprise and consternation on the warships. Hero, however, the similarity ended The Anglo- Saxon mind knows no such thing as surrender whdn once ft la stirred to tho depths of Its'stubbornness. It can read oply two answers to the riddle of conflict—victory or death—as has been attested by many a hard-fought battle on land and sea. The armada of Great Britain had sailed with apprehensions, being fully cognisant that it was invading a territory of mystery and danger, and the vigilance of its watch, therefore, was never relaxed. The consternation caused: by the first sight of the aerial fleet was immediately followed by a hurried clearing of the decks for action, . although defeat in a battle against such overpowering odds waa a foregone conclusion. No gun was fired, however, and all stood expectantly awaiting a declaration of Intent from the monsters of the air which had come upon them lu the full glare of the afternoon sun. With slow and stately majesty the rad lop lanes . approached, each flying the flag of the United States and beneath it the emblem of truce. The Dreadnought, answering sluggishly to the swell and hurling great cascades of water from its bow, was In the heart of the formation, and in its ponderous might seemed fearless of anything afloat. Toward it the foremost radloplane directed its course, drop- The W i r e s Were in Charge of M i l i t a r y Operators. the war a certainty; hence it. was with patience that the administration waited for the next move in the far east, which must of necessity come China. There was no doubt that she would assist her ally. At first this seemed an imminent action; but. several days passed bringing through the secret service no news save that her fleet, huge and well manned, was making preparations to sail. The president, knowing that for the accomplishment of his purpose oriental power must bo broken, indulged in the fervent, hopo that the attack might come soon. There was less trouble Internally, as the people were beginning to have faith in the administration, though they were speculating ag to what course of procedure was being followed. It was while affairs were in this condition that the sailing of the British fleet was duly announced through secret, channels of information. The coterie saw before it the necessity of either abandoning the hope of teaching China a drastic lesson and announcing its Secret, to the world or meeting tho Rritish squadrons and holding them hostage in the interest of peace. Thoy chose the latter alternative, and thereby was caused the strangest, chapter in the history of war. Like that other sally outward to the western seas, this one was timely. It was made when the British fleet might Le met beyond the reach' of wireless ping steadily down until full abreast and on a level with the great fighting tops, while the officers of the battle ship watched with amazement its splendid control. Npt till then was there a visible display of life aboard it. A port opened and into the blackness of its frame Bevins emerged, while directly behind him stood the scientist, who had recovered, and was to witness the first full demonstration of the power he had evolved. On the bridge of the battle ship the British admiral stood, surrounded by staff officers. "Good afternoon, admiral," the American hailed. "Glad to see you. How do you like the looks of us?" Across Fields' face flitted a half smile. "We are very well indeed, Admiral Bevins; but can't say we are particularly glad to see you, of sure that we like you until we know more. Clever invention that. Must have been conceived by an Englishman." Behind the United States officer n withered little figure became imbued with a sudden frenzy of passion that threatened to interject an unpleasant, remark; bm i'evins checked him with a laugh and grew serious again. "Admiral," he said, "my country isn't at war with yours. You understand that." Fields looked relieved, and lost somewhat of his air of set defiance. At the head ojf his men he'erossedjo ,tht end of the bridge where ho nnr^fct be nearer thefts* jaddreaalng him. Ifce nervous straiiTot, tejo situatjop waa fcelag rapidly dfcoiaiaied. "Frankly, I'm gl*4>- to. be reaaaured," ,he , replied. "There-are a rot*f sWags, We'd rather know,*'" :f . ' - • . ; "And which \ shall he glad to sixplain if you and* a dozen of your immediate subordinates will come aboard aa my guests." The Invitation waa Immediately accepted; but it was a trying interview for the Britons. Tho machine on which they were received was the Roberts, which waa the latest production of the plant on the key. It was larger than Its predecessors, und Jjad been made tho most pretentious. It was elegantly appointed. Amidships it contained a drawing room on which the most careful workmanship had been lavished. The guests gathered round a huge mahogany table, whose polished tup reflected the light from the, colored ports of the dome, and were served with refreshments before Bevins recurred to the object of his visit. He drew from his pocket an official packet and laid it open befor him. "Gentlemen," he began, "of cou.se ywu are Interested in all that you have seen, and in the attitude of the United States. What I shall read to wou are my orders. I have come out here to meet you for the purpose, fln»t of all, that you may bear them." The Roberts had ascended to an altitude above the others of the American fleet, and was resting in mid air. It was very still, the light hum of a small dynamo from behind the partitions being the only disturber of silence. He opened the document und read: "You are instructed to intercept the British fleet and assure its ofiicers of the good will of the United States toward his majesty, King Edward VII., and all his subjects. You are to explain to them that the United States is compelled, In pursuance of its adopted policy formulated at the commencement of the war with Japan, to maintain the secret of its power until such time as It is deemed expedient to announce it to the world. You will then endeavor to induce the British fleet to surrender itself into your hands as guests of this country, assuring those in command that all damages accruing will be repaired by the United States. You are to use all due caution to avoid injury to life, property, or pride, and to transport the entire fleet to the waters of Chesapeake bay, after which for a brief period the officers and men of Great Britain will be entertained by the United States." Bevins stopped and looked into the faces confronting him, which expressed a variety of emotions, running the gamut from stolidity to wonder, and from compliance to indignation. The British admiral's visage was a frowning one. "Your country asks too much!" he said, almost explosively. "And really it volunteers no explanation of its acts or intentions." Some of his companions nodded their heads in approval. "We can't accept." Bevins reopened the parchment. "I must then read you the concluding clause," he said, and began: "It is strongly desired that there be no clash at arms; but in any e>ent you are to return with the fleet." There was brief silence in t^e room, which was broken by Fieljs, who jumped to his feet. Bevins sose, and the other officers did likewise. The situation threatened unhappy conclusions; but Bevins held up a restraining hand and went, on: "Here! Before you underestimate the force of this last clause, let me give you a demonstration of what we can do and how difficult it would be for you to offer any defense or effective resistance whatever." He turned to a speaking tube, gave a curt order and requested his visitors to look through the transparent ports, which were suddenly opened beneath their feet. The Roberts swept up into the air to such a prodigious height that, the internal pressure against her shell became terrific. Sha was at such an altitude that no mortal being could^have withstood the Arain, In great circles she descended, until the water again became visible, then the vessels upon it, and last of all the crests of the waves. Now she swooped lower, and then at a speed ot nearly 600 miles an hour whipped a straight line close above the tops of the fighting masts, slowed down, and whirled in and out, about and above the British ships as easily as would a swallow in playful flight. On the decks of the vessels men stared in wide-eyed amazement, at this demon of the air, at first, fearing that control had been lost and the lives of those aboard wore in jeopardy. Then at the splendid exhibition of speed and handling they were dumbfounded. The Roberts then rose in one quick lift until it was above the plane of altitude assumed by the Other machines, poised fur a moment, and came to a stop. In all this time no one had spoken a word. Now they turned to the American, rmloosing their convulsive clutches from the seats and liberated from the spell. tTfll BE CONTINUED.* T W O Y E A R * O F 'FREEDOM.

The brass band and free commissary had, departed atanjr with, the boomers' and the real •lattaatlon was mournfully apparent. There dida't setfrn to be the ghost of a reason for a town where "Royal Capital" was trying to stand. The lot -owners, however, were game. They organized a commercial club, issued air castle literature and invited capital to come and get richer on the "ma?Oiificent resource-*." The fact that the commercial club was expressing its hope rather than its knowledge was clear as moonshine t o the sage gentleman of means who received the invitations. One day a unique traveler alighted o n the small platform and handed his grips to the landlord of the "Continental hotel." He looked like he might ke a walking proclamation for some liafterdashor, and didn't seem to be a tiopeful prospect. Within half an hour tho news went around town that "Ar ilhnr Van Zandt. of West Virginia" was registered at the Continental, and that h e lisped in his talk. In the morning the ienderfoot put on some heavy boots and walked out Jo the "suburban residence districts1 When he returned in town he hunted sjt|> some of the owners and in a timid mutt of '.vav wanfed to know whwt he \ * r • could secure a few acres of their rocky blutta at, exyioiniug that he was a slate pea/3*! luaa^factqrer ta»a,em a 11 way, and tfot he fancied the stone would make fair pencils. He wanted the privilege: to prospect a little flratr and determine whether the rock wfta really aoapatohe. There didn't seem to be much In it, and nobody shot* off -any firework** over the Ride's; proposition. They let1 him dig his holes, and several parties let their h*l<ffngg ' o t "eligible residence lots," tjie .Circulars Hald—rock hills, in fact, pass over to the slate pencil man at $5 ac* acre. Some sold to him for less. Insider of a week he had acquired enough "soapstone" to make slate pencils for all the children in the world the next hundred years. ^ , When Corney learned the high-collared baberdasher'B sign had been boring holes, on Killkeany Heights his blue eyes blazed wrathfully. "If that puddin' headed jude thinks he's1 goln' ter git them lota fer his shlate pincil facthry he's a bigger fool thin km looks, which be puttin' it sthrong as I know how." said Corney. He studiously avoided the mild-looking Btranger, as being a man beyond his contempt. He resolved if Van Zandt come around with a flve^dollaran- acre proposition "fer them superbs ter tell 'im plain wat I tink av *im." But one bright morning Corney saw the slate pencil man making for him, "Good morning Mr.—aw—" "Try Cadogan, aw," said Corney, surlily. "Yes, Cadogan—certainly. Deuced funny how I should—aw—forget such an easy name." "Not so viry funny; there be min wot says 'aw/ win there's nothin' ter 'aw' about. Thot's funnier." The natty tenderfoot smiled sweetly. He was evidently not overly sensitive. "Unfortunate habit of mine," he said, goodhumoredly. "You will—aw —excuse me—please pahdon me,* "Wot's yer game?" remarkedxCorney, abruptly. "I wanted to speak to you about Killkenny—aw—Highlands." "Thim's Killkenny Heights—risidence lots." "Yes, a beautiful name. I've been out there. The view is—aw—chawming. Such a vast reach of country— so gently rolling like the sea! And such superb air and sky, and the sunsets— on my life I never witnessed such sunsets!" Corney looked at him ra amazement and gravely shook bis head. ! "I guess they be," he said, dubiously. "I think th' sun be settin' ivery day.

Van Zandt started and looked keenly al the Irishman. " - . . , '"wnaV'do yoii Want for your 27 acres?", he asked,.slowly. "Th,' only thiug thot'll save me fr'm bein' a. grass widerer," said Corney, "Li $6,(M)0." . "I'll take it." Corney's blue eyes popped open wide. The slate pencil man suddenly became an object ot real, interest. "Does yez mane fhot?" • "Indeed I do, and I will write you a check soon as you sign the deed." "Thin I wants ter say ter yez thot I'm downright sorry I called y e i a jude. Yez be th' whiteAt mon I've sthruck in this miserable coyote cunthry." With the acquirement of Killkenny Heights, Van Zandt concluded his dealings at Royal Capital, and the cat jumped out of the bag. He was the representative of a large concern, and had been sent west to secure new fields. The rock around Royal Capital was specially adapted for the purpose, and its purchase for an almost nominal consideration meant a fortune to the big company, which soon established works out there, and gave employment to so many men that Royal Capital forgave the job put up on it by the smooth visitor from West Virginia. Corney and Van Zandt returned east on the same train, and while enjoying their pipe and cigarette; -respectively, one afternoon, Van Zandt asked a question which had long been puz- .zling hfin; , "Coifney, how was it that you were the only man out there who knew it was,cement rock?" "Bliss'yer soul," said Narah's man; 'Tnever dreamt it till yez told me." "But you said 'there's a fine lot of cement to pick over out there.' " Corney smoked reflectively for a few moments, then his moonface broke into a broad grin. "Yez didn't quite cotch me waning,"' he said. "Narah, my wife thot is, lives on th' coast of Jersey. I knowed If I didn't git backrIt Wouldn't quite break her heart, because there's a foine lot o' saymin ter pick from out there." "Seamen?" "YiB, sayntin, I says." !/Corney," said Van Zandt, arte* some silent meditation, "If any professor of language ever offers to smooth out that brogue of yours, you brain him on the spot. You need it to do business with."

Hartford Insurance Man Has an Unusual Experience. Hartford, Conn.—Though nobody ever accused William A. Moore, first vice-president of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company, of beifcg a spiritualist or a member of any of those kindred cnlts, nevertheless Mr. Moore's former incredulity is staggering under a remarkable psychological vision and a weird conversation which he thinks he had at. the moment that his friend Richard P. Romaine, president and general manager of the Windsor Locks Paper Company, died recently. Mr. Moore is vainly seeking an explanation of the marvelous phenomenon. Just before closing time Mr. Moore, having signed h i s mail, w a s dozing on a couch in his private office, when he was suddenly aware of a familiar voice calling appealfngly: "Will! Will!" • -, "Who is it?" he asked. "It's I, Romaine," cfcrne t h e reply, in short accents. Bewildered, Mr. Moore shook himself together and searched his office, and then, bursting open the door into the main office, had the telephone operator hurry a call to the Romaine home. When he asked for Mrs. Romaine h e w a s told tHiit sho could not answer just then, and ho inquired how Mr. Romaine was getting along. "He died about : t w o minute* ago," replied t h e maid.

His auditors were deeply stirred aa lie pleaded. "The money of the saloon is tainted money, tainted with crime, tainted with sin, tainted with corruption, yes, covered with the blood of ioimoratl souls," he said. "There are many meu in this city engaged in the saloon busiuess who are nauseated with its evils. They are bound hand and foot but they cannot break away from it, though willing to give all they possess for the opportunity of making an honest living. "Among the enemies of the saloOo in this city are the men whose shop doors are closed on Suuday while others are allowed to be open, but the most powerful of its foes are the home, the family, tlxe child. If you could hear the prayers that are going up to God from little children the next ten days for the abolition of the saloon and asking to be rescued fn a the great curse of liquor; if you could hear them pleading with Christ, if a little one would take you by the hand, look into your face and say'-Won't you help me just a little?" where is the man who would turn away? "Won't you help these little one* by your votes? There is coming a day either of salvation or damnation for the children. What will you men do? Here, in the name of Jesus Christ, whose humble Shepherd I am, with all my heart, with all soul, for the little ones who cannot talk to yon themselves, I implore you not to bind the saloon evil to their necks again." — Michigan Catholic.

McGanu ol New York for her heroism In the General Slocum disaster of June 16, 1904, when she saved nine children from a terrible death. Medals of honor are thus granted more commonly to men, and In most cases for conspicuous gallantry on the field of battle. There is an organisation called the Medal of Honor Legion, and |t 1B composed of officers and enlisted men or the army and navy of the United States who have been decorated in the manner indicated. At the present time the legion has more than 450 members. The conferring of these medals was authorized by a resolution adopted by congress in 1862, in the early part of the civil war. The list of Ciedal of honor men is given a conspicuous place in the official Army Register. The grunting of a similur niedal to Miss McCann is recognition of bravery quite as commendable as that of soldiers and sailors in action. She worked fearlessly, herself in imminent peril, in rescuing others. What deed of valor could surpass that in merit ? DESPICABLE PLOT T H E BODY OF HAROLD MOON 1« FOUND IN T H R E A D LAKE. FOIL EASY MONEY PLOT. Heartless Scoundrel Attempted to Extort Money From the Grief Stricken Parents, But Failed. STATE BRIEFS. Wealthy Englishmen have provided the funds necessary to open a radium institute in London, where for a long time the London hospital has been devoting especial attention to the treatment of disease by radium. Striking results have been attained, and although Sir Frederick Treves, the famous surgeon, "begged his medical friends'to be cautious as to the way they spoke of permanent cures," he recently declared that many affec- i you surely will fail to get him alive. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Harold Moon, the 10-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. Luman N. Moon, five weeks ago, was solved Saturday morning when the body of the missing lad was found in Thread lake. In order to facilitate the search which had been in progress at the lake for several days, the sluices were removed from the dam "and the water was lowered to a depth of two or three feet. The discovery of the body was made by Bert Robson, one of the members of the searching party, who was in the boat alone. Hi1 immediately notified the other searchers, and after the inanimate little form had been taken from the shallow water, it was placed in an undertaker's wagon and conveyed to the morgue. While the search was being made Luman X. Moon, the father, had been lured to Delavan, Wisconsin, by a scoundrel who professed to be a "kidnaper holding tlie boy for ransom, whose blackmail letter follows: "Mr. and Mrs, Lyman Moon, these few lines tell you in brief how ycu can get your boy Harold returned to his home before the, week is at the end. The toy will be In the vicinity of this town the rest of the week, and I do this at his request as he Is tired of this life and wants to come home. If you don't comply with this, you will not see him soon. This needs no reply, and if you tell any person or make any attempt at arrest tions of the -skin, including birthmarks, together with tumors, cancers and certain types of ulcers, have been removed by radium, "and have not returned." The remedy is applied from a flat surface, p n e of the instruments in use, which is about as large as a postage-stamp, and contains 90 milligrams— about one and one-third grains —of radium, cost eighteen hundred dollars—a statement that throws an interesting light on the commercial Tfttee of this extraordinary substance. Happily, it Is added that the new institute, which is designed for both curative and research purposes, will treat the poor as well as the rich, and the needy will not have to pay. It has long been known that red-hot stoves were not always safe if left Without a guardian when prowlers were around, hut the burglar in Los Angelea who picked tip a boa constrictor and departed with it for parts unknown made the stove lifter look like an amateur pilferer. Well may the householder ask what is safe if he can't go to bed and leave his favorite boa constrictor basking In front of the fc«arth, says the Chicago Daily News. If the poor boa must be locked in the •ate along with the family diamonds and bargain mining stock, its rest will be broken and it will suffer all the diseases we get from not having enough fresh air. Still, that might he preferable to waking up and finding it in a "This is what you arc to do. On next Friday night at 8:X0 or 9 o'clock, you fix Ht so you can get here at 7:30 p. m. that night.

Put $500 in the mouth and ,return to Hotel Delavan and inside of an hour vour hoy will he there O. K. It is all off if you fail to do ae asked. Dictated by your son." Mr. Moon at once left for Delavan. On his arrival in Chicago he consulted with a detective agency, telling his story and showing the anonymous letter he had received. Then, accompanied by Detective Charlesworth, he hurried to the Wisconsin city. Instead of leaving the money in the cannon as directed in the letter, Mr. Moon prepared the following note: "I know not who you are, but if you have the boy write the names of his brothers and sisters, the name of a book received at his last birthday and who he sleeps with when at home, I will produce the $500 and no questions asked." This was placed in the cannon mouth and City Marshal Fleming and Detective Charlesworth stationed themselves where they could watch unseen. About 8:30 o'clock a large man darted up to the cannon, seized the letter and vanished into the darkness. Acting on the orders of Mr. Moon, the officers made no attempt to follow him, as the frenzied father feared such action might be discovered and result in harm to the boy. The officers got a good look at the man, however, and are confident of his identity. What charge may be brought against him is now being debated by the authorities strange household, ,vhorc the e » W n , | ^ J o r t ^ ^ 0 ¾ ¾ ^ ¾ ^ be charged with abduction. What to do in the case is a puzzle to the authdid not agree with it. The only way out that we can see is for the boa to train Itself up to be a watchdog. Friends and admirers of the Ameri- Indian will be glad to know that tie* Carlisle school is making a systematic effort to foster and develop native Indian art, as manifested in drawing, decoration, silverwork and basket and blanket design. The head of the department is an fndian woman of great cultivation and ample education, trained in the best schools of the east. Two of the most promising pupils have received scholarships, which enable them to study at the School of Industrial Art. in Philadelphia. The effort at Carlisle is not, to graft, the art of the white man upon that of the Indian, * but to preserve the primitive art. native to the red man—an art. that was • t o p i c , sincere and direct, and had Other admirable qualities, orities. Immediately after receiving the •lews of the finding of his son's body Mr, Moon left for home. A Tariff Petition.

THAT OLD SURPLUS IS G O V E R N M E N T MAY CALL FOR A M A T T E R OF T W E N T Y - E I G H T M I L L I O N 8 . STATES WHICH OWE SOME Mr. Murdock'a Bill That Tw«nty-«ix States Repay Money Divided Among Them From Surplus of 1836. The publication of the fact of the Introduction by Rep. Murdock, of Kansas, of a bill to call on the 26 states to repay to the government 128,000,- 000 distributed during Jackson's administration was followed immediately with a flood*of telegrams to members, senators and others for more light on the subject. "I introduced that bill two years ago," said Mr. Murdock late today, "and no one paid any attention to It. Evidently the public mind is in a state now to_ consider the nation's finances. I shall do everything in my power to pr^ss the bill for passage." In 1836 there was a surplus in the federal treasury of 138,000,000, due largely to the sale of public land in the central west. Congress authorized the distribution of this money among the states, on their promising to repay it on demand of the secretary of the treasury. After $2S,000,000 had been distributed, congress passed another law postponing payment of the final installment, and incorporating as a "joker," a proviso that the money distributed should be subject to the demand of congress instead of the secretary of the treasury. The amounts in round figures deposited with 1!6 states was as follows: Maine. $950,000; Maryland, $5)56,000; New Hampshire, $060,000; Vermont. $669,000; Massachusetts, $1.:J3K.000; Connecticut. $765,000; Rhode Island, aSL',000; New York. $4,015,000; P m n - $2.S'6S,000; New Jerxev, Ohio. $2,007,000; Indima, Illinois. $47N,0O<>; Michigan, Virginia. $2,199,000: North $1,444,000; South Carolina Georgia, $1,051.0()0: Alabama. $669,000; Louisiana, $478,000; Mississippi. $3S2.000; Tennessee. $1,- 434,000; Kentucky. $1,434,000: Missouri, $382,000; Arkansas, $2S7,000; Delaware, $287,000. sylvania, STGo.OflO; IR60.0C0; $287,000; Carolina, $1,051,000 FLAS*{E&F$6*f THE WIRE The wojnen suffrage bill passed the senate at Madison, Wis.

The military prison .at Fort Leaven- Worth, a $200,000 building, was destroyed by Are late Wednesday night. Eight hundred prisoners, "most of t h e m desperate men, shrieked and tore at the steel bars of their cells as t h e glare of the flames lighted the interior. All were gotten out safely and not one escaped. The fire started in some rubbish carelessly left lying in the carpenter shop. The blaze was spectacular and the fort lire department was unable to check it because of lack of water. The city department was rushed to the scene, but for tho suine reason was powerless. Millions Lost by Fire. That fire which burned steadily for six and one-half hours and covered 68 acres before it was got under control, caused a loss of over $:i,000.000 J in Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday night. A patient whose identity is unknown perished in Walker's Sanitarium, and three men were electrocuted and their bodies burned to cinders in the Sawyer Electric plant. Herbert Stacy was fatally burned in an endeavor to save his dwelling and a fireman fell from a housetop und was killed. Dallas had three large fires Saturday afternoon and evening. A total of about 75 dwelling houses, it is estimated, were destroyed with most of their contents. Whole blocks were swept clean in some places, and parts of blocks saved in others. Several hundred persons are homeless, but are being cared for by friends andneighbors. Sugar Trust Called. Reassessments of duties amounting /o a total increase of $1,239,000 on sugar Imported by the American Sugar Refining Co. at the refinery of Havemeyer & Elder, between December, 1901, and November, 1907, have been ordered by Collector Loeb, of the- -port of New York. Of this amount, it was announced about $100,000 has been paid to the government by the American Sugar Refining Co. Mr. Loeb ordered the reliquidation of the duties on the ground of fraud. The imposition of the increased assessments is a result of the trial of the case of the government against the American Sugar Co., in which the government was awarded $134,000. Ex-United States Attorney Stimson and Assistant District Attorney Denison, who prosecuted the case, have been retained by the department of justice as special counsel to carry on further litigation of a similar nature. In addition to the assessment of $1,239,000 the government also claims t h a t it has been defrauded of about $500,000 in duties on sugar weighed at the refinery of Havemeyer & Elder, in Brooklyn, and also of $500,000 in duties on sugar weighed at the Jei> sey City refinery prior to 1901. THE MARKETS. Kaiser Stirs Up Things. It is now definitely known, despite semi-official denials from Berlin, that Germany delivered a distiuct ultimatum to Russia on March 25, summoning her to recognize Austria's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina forthwith or military operations would begin against her immediately. Thus by a single stroke, Germany made pence for the moment in the Balkans and also changed the whole face of European politics. The rage of Russia is matched hy the alarm of England. Nowhere has Germany's masterstroke created so much uneasiness among all thinking classes as in Great Britain. Germany held a pistol to Russia's head yesterday; she might do the same with equal success against England tomorrow, with the present government in power. But even the conglomerate elements of present. British rule begin to see the writing on the wall. Elusive Crazy Snake. Crazy Snake is still at. large.

In alarm he checked the speed "Vanishing Fleets," a story of "'what "mltfht have happened," opens in Washington with the United States and Japq.n noar war. Guy Hillier, secretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are Introduced as lovers. Japan declares war und takes the Philippines. Guy Hillier staxta for England. Norma Roberta leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports -are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to Bend a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection againBt what the British supge. Fleet m> teriously disappears. The kaiser is misspose Is a terrible submarine flotilla. Her Is sent with a message Ing. King Edward of England Is con fronted by Admiral Bevins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable 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 production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels. Roberts evolves a great flying machine. The cabinet plans a radioplane war against Japanese. The start is made for the scene of conflict. The Japanese fleet, believing Nippon supreme, suddenly discerns the radioplane fleet. After maneuvering the airships descend, and by -use of strong magnets lift the warships, one •by one, from the sea. The vessels are deposited In a mountain lake in the United States to await peace. The British fleet accepts American hospitality and is conveyed to the United States by the wingless terrors. C H A P T E R XX—Continued. "Admiral, do you think there ia any gunnery that can hurt us, anything that can overtake us, or that If we wish to we may not master the world?" he aaked in a voice of extreme quiet. Fields shrugged his shoulders hopelessly, made a grimace, and looked at hla fellows. "Gentlemen," he said in a dry tone, "it seems to me that we should without any delay accept the hospitality which the United States has extended BO courteously." The others appreciated the grim humor of the situation, and in like vein acquiesced. The surprise which they had undergone was nothing compared to that with which, as the *lay waned; they witnessed the lifting of their craft from the waters. With the utmost care the task was accomplished, and everything made ready for the westward journey. Only one mishap occurred beyond the necessary damage to the ships, and that was not discovered until the following day. A sailor of the Dreadnought, maddened by the spectacle he had witnessed, had unleashed a life raft unobserved and thrown himself and it into the water by the use of its tackle at some hour of darkness when the vessels were traveling at slow speed and close to the surface of the waves, Bevins grieved more over this incident than any other; for he had set his heart upon a bloodless victory. Thus it was that on the following <lay there rested in the Chesapeake a fleet whose fires were banked, whose men were prohibited from shore leave and whose chief officers were guests In the principal hotels of New York and Washington under pledge of secrecy. But in this they might take heart; although some slight damage had been inflicted on the vessels, in no Instance did the flag come down, and from each staff floated the union jack unsullied. Communication between ships and shores was interdicted; so even the inhabitants of the borders could do no more than look and guess as to how the fleet, had sailed In without attracting attention or meeting with rebuff. Another report came from Chins that the fleet of the dragon was still under waiting orders; hence there was nothing for the administration to do but mark time, which it did with poor grace. Within a few days, however, a more disturbing report came from Europe by way of Canada, the usual source of communication. It was to the effect that the kaiser, learning of the disappearance of the British fleet, and belfeving it destroyed, was showing quick signs of aggression. Vainly the administration hoped that his belligerent Intentions might be over- ««timated; but the passage of days proved that he might be a menace to t h e general plan. It was hourly expected that thopresqulred In the west to meet the Chinese. In view gf thto necessity, It was de» elded to (Msptrtch Brockton and Jenkins to Berll*^#a-a mlsston oT dtptom a o y t f T|i(*y were $>pd««3 to,visit the kaiatr^aWniuMj l ^ i n g i l t a time and plac# v f i y e f f e y |$>ul6J?escape observation, Induce1 the emperor and his chancellor to get aboard the radioplane, and then, after It had' been demonstrated that Germany would be powerless in the event of war, to deliver messages announcing that the Uplted States purposed to gain what support she could for a world's peace voluntarily, but would compel It If need "be. r Jenkins was familiar with the German capital, having been naval attache there for a number of years. It was he who evolved t h e details. The American ambassador was unaware of his country's defense until Informed on the night of the arrival, and was speedily enlisted, in' the enterprise. Through him the kaiser granted the interview, which led to his visiting the radioplane which had been brought to rest beyond the outskirts of the city. Brockton's task proved a most difficult one; for the emperor, a man of science and interested in all engines of warfare, insisted on being conveyed not only to the plant on the key, but across Chesapeake bay, where he might look down upon the British fleet. The night was Ideal for the purpose, Nature seeming to lend herself in behalf of peace. The Norma, now fully fitted and comfortable, was utilized for the mission. Like all others of the American fleet, Hhe carried provisions sufficient to enable her to pass many times round the world in case of emergency. The kaiser marveled at the display of ingenuity, and was told all but the secret, without which no one could cast the radioactive metal. He was even permitted to handle the steering leverB and direct her flight for a time, and entered into this with the enthusiasm of a boy. He would have driven her through the air at a speed which would have heated her interior had he not been cautioned, and relinquished his place in the hood only when the shores of the western continent were reached and loomed darkly far below. It had not been Brockton's intention to show him over the plant on the key; but the sovereign Insisted that he permitted to alight, it being his first visit to America, which he had always longed to make, but had never anticipated. He was permitted to traverse the great machine shops and view the working of the blast furnace, and also to gaze at the formidable fleet of monsters that rested Idly along the beach. Muffled in his great coat to avoid recognition, he was strictly incognito, and met neither the Inventor, "the assistant," nor Bevins, who many hours before had retired to their rest. His mood of curiosity had given way to^one of thoughtfulness when the Norma again took him aboard and started northward. He sat silently in the central chamber of the radioplane, taking no part in the conversation between the chancellor and Brockton, until the machine hovered over the waters of the Chesapeake, on the bosom of which, at anchor, rested the British fleet, and then discussed the possibilities of crossing the continent to Lake Washington. Brockton was compelled to enter a protest, explaining that inasmuch as the element of time for his return must enter into their calculations, they had only a small margin. The kaiser remembered that he was in a machine which annihilated space; but that in traveling from the west to the east the difference in the rising hour of the sun meant much in maintaining secrecy; so he reluctantly relinquished the idea. "But it will not trouble you, will it, to carry me across the cordon which has been established between your country and Canada on the homeward flight?" he asked, and to this Brockton assented. They turned to the north, and at a high altitude saw far below them the constant glow of searchlights dotting out in streamers of white the boundary line between the two countries. As fas as the eye could reach to the east and the west the watch was being maintained unceasingly. The kaiser recovered hia good humor, laughed, and then, having nothing more to view below, returned to the hood, where he again asked to manipulate the machine. Jenkins was not. pleased by the recklessness with which his august guest experimented with the levers and switches; but feared to remonstrate, though uttering an occasional word of caution. Suddenly, as if confused, the kaiser opened three switches at once. The machine gave a mighty lurch, and failed to obey tho expert hand that was instantly reached forward to control it. The needle showing the direction took a swift leap and pointed to the northwest. The kaiser stepped back frc*a the hood, while Jenkins vainly strove to bring the Norma back into htt eastward course. Rapidly he pulled the switches to and fro; but no answering ^park showed that they were in coaof the radiopUser and called to Brockton, who, frightened by the erratic movements of the craft, had entered t h e hood.' "I have to report, sir," Jenkins said, "that the steering currents of the radioplane axe out of order, and that we, can no longer direct her course. She is now heading nor-norwest." Brockton's brows came together in a scowl. Nothing hut the presence of his majesty prevented an explosion. "What do you suggest?" he asked, sharply., "That we come to land and make an examination and whatever repairs are necessary, sir." "Very well. Do so at once!" **• Within a few minutes the Norma had found a lower level and her searchlights were bringing Into view the ground beneath. They were traveling slowly over the primeval forest in far upper Canada. A spot came to view where there were no trees, and into this, like a crippled bird, the Norma came to a stop and rested. The emperor watched the first attempts to define the difficulty with anxiety, and then, yielding to his desire for a Hlght of the open, asked and obtained the unclosing of the port, through which he sauntered Into the night. Without observing what was around him, he stood leaning against the shell of the radioplane, thinking with annoyance of the difficulties of state which might accrue if his absence extended over a day. He was aroused by the sounds of hammering and rending within, and re-entered the craft, which was now flooded with a blinding glare of radiance brought into life by the ceaselessly turning dynamos. On their knees, with uniforms cast aside, and recklessly tearing away the carefully wrought woodwork of the paneled side, were the admiral and the engineer, while back of them the distracted chancellor of the empire held "Your majesty," t h e chancellor aalfl, "they have found the break, a n i *ay that with the tools at command It will remjjre several days perhaps to repair it'. Admiral Bevins expresses his r l g r e t s aixd—" i .f >"Gott i n himniel!" burst from the . e n | « a i r ' i lip*, «&d wHh a gesture of hopelessness he waved his subject away and began a n agitated march backward and forward, while the chancellor returned to render what assistance he could. 'tiott in Himmel!" Burst from the Emperor's Lips. a short crowbar in his hands and displayed muscular arms which had been bared to the elbow. "I am sorry, your majesty," apologized the admiral, looking up from his work, "but I am afraid that a confused handling of the levers has exposed a weakness. A cross current, a burned insulation and a bad connection have fused our wires somewhere, and we may be delayed for a short time." "How long?" "I cannot say. Aside from the delay, there need be no apprehension, because we have abundant food. We shall have to uncover the damaged section before we can estimate the length of our stay." Fairly gritting his teeth in rage, the kaiser turned on his heel and strode out into the open air again. What a fool he had been to Intrust himself to a strange mechanism which at. best was treacherous! A day's delay would not mean much; but what if they were detained for many? The waning moon had risen, and in Its light he marched up and down a stretch of turf with military precision, until his anger began to disappear and his natural philosophy to afford relaxation. He be came conscious of the beauties of the night and the wilderness, and as time went on was engrossed in contemplating them. Only the moon and he seemed in possession of this cleft in the forest, this grass-carpeted glade in the center of whose breadth a hurrying brook threw strange ribbons of light upward. Bordering this asylum of the wilderness were the illimitable shadows cast by lofty spruce, fir and hemlock trees, which thrust, their slender plumes like curious observers high above the denser growths of scrubby birch and jack pine. Here and there were splotches of light where the moon found ragged openings, making of the woods a royal robe spotted without, regularity. It was a world of enchantment, mysterious in its stillness, mystic in its beauty and alluring in its stateliness. Cares of state were,, forgotten, and he was yielding to It?, spell when a voice at his elbow speaking in his native tongue interrupted his aisditaUaaa, C H A P T E R X X I . His Majesty's Visit. In the heart of t h e woods, untrodden before by man, the sound of the hammer awoke the German emperor after bis hours of anxious study. By choice he had declined to sleep In the radioplane, and rolled himself in his blankets on an open spot of turf. The cares of the day were upon hit* again with all their perplexities. The sun had not risen, and the cool breath of the morning came to his lungs with invigorating freshness, while a bird of the far north was beginning a thin piping to its mate, and a camp robber, brilliantly impertinent, hopped round his woodland couch and gazed unabashed at royalty. He threw aside the blankets which had been tightly rolled round him, walked to the brook, whose song had lulled him in his dreams of the night, and bathed his hands and face in the icy water. A great trout, disturbed by t h e intrusion, sped swiftly away from a rock and disappeared in a dark pool with a final sweep of its tall. The emperor dried his face on his handkerchief and walked slowly across the glade to the Norma, which he entered curiously. There they all were as on the night before, tired, work-worn and anxious, the chancellor still with his sleeves rolled up, the rear admiral stripped to his undershirt and the engineer peering through his glasses at the tangles of wire. On the night before the kaiser had stormed and threatened, had mumbled angry soliloquies, and sworn mighty oaths to the unheeding woods. Now at the sight of these faces before him he understood to the full that these, his hosts, must have labored throughout the night trying to undo the accident which perhaps his own hands had wrought. It softened his mood. They saluted him, and Brockton rose stiffly to his feet, wiped his hands on his trousers, and repaired to the rear of the radioplane, from which he apologetically returned with breakfast for his guest. The emperor ate with an appetite which was made keen by the balsamy night air in which he had slept, and then began wishing that he, too, might take part in this manual -toil. Almost involuntarily he assisted the fat old chancellor, who was prying loose another board with a crowbar; but he felt that he was in the way, and after lounging round the craft for a time decided that he would have another look at the brook. It was swarming with trout, and, half ashamed of his zest, he returned to PE-Ry-NA r o r Cnunpe l a thm Stomach of Bis Yaais* btajudLn*. " I was troubled with cramps in tha stomach for six years.

Gill, veterinary surgeon and markable wild animal, a deer, that was once encountered by two friends of his who were hunting near Moosehead lake in Maine. Out with a guide, the hunters came to a spot, from which they could see within shooting distance four deer grazing, one of the four being white, an albino. The hunters fired and shot two of th* deer of natural color, the third one at. the report of the guns springing away to safety, while the white deer remained stock still. The wind was toward the hunters and they had not been heard or scented, and apparently the white deer had not heard the guns. But In a mo- Hope Springs Eternal.

He bud no head covering whatever, and the Lam time his hair had oeeu combed | wtuj before tbe tight in wbleh he hat! been ruptured three uiouLks ugoue. Half a leg of his trousers was wishing as well as the right sleeve ut hla coat j u i d a part of the left sleeve. Aa to j tlie coot's skirt, It huu# In rag fes J toons. One old rubber shoe and a bit of blanket constituted bib foot cover- , ing. It was not danger uloue that ' caused him to hesitate, it was pride. However, hunger conquered both pride aud prudence, and he went to tbe house. Passing through u liower garden, he suddenly cuuie- upon a girl uiakiug up a, bouquet. On seeing Bill she dropped u pair of big scissors, giving a slight scream at the same time. Bill's hand naturally went up to his j head; but, not finding any hat there ; to doff deferentially, he attempted to ; propitiate the girl with uu admiring ! Bmlle. It produced an effect similar • to that of a dirty faced grinning skel- | eton. The girl shrank buck. ! "Don't be afraid of me," pleaded BUI. ( "I'm harmless, quite harmless." H e i paused a moment to arrest the ravage I of a graybai'k. "I might as well own up that I'm an escaped prisoner ot war." "A Yankee!" "Yes, a Yankee, but not a dangerous one just now unless for vermin, and I'd be ever so obliged If you'd give me a bit of corn pone or something to keep me from starving." Bill's tone was sad, and by tnl* time the girl began to take Ju the pitiful situation. She was very young and her sympathies easily touched. She Bttxxl for a moment thinking, then said: "We're all loyal to the south up at the house, and if you go there we'd have to give you up. Get under that j rosebush, where you will not be seen, j and I'll bring you something." | Bill gave her a grateful look, which, j though grewsome, didn't frighten her ! so much this time. She went toward j the house, and he crawled under the bush. Presently she came back with some scraps she had gathered from the breakfast table rolled In a napkin, s^ive them to Bill and told him he'd better be off. Bill, In bis gratitude forgetting himself, advanced to clasp her hand, but she darted back with a bit of a shriek, then, seeing that she had hurt his feelings, said: "It Isn't you I'm afraid of; it's the vermin." Well, Bill backed away from her so as not to show the remains of his protruding shirt tail and went on his way. When the war ended Bill got a commission In the regular army. During the administration of President Grant he was on duty In Washington, which meant that he lounged most of the flay and attended social functions in the evening. It was not long before be married the daughter of a southern congressman, and a very happy match he made. One morning na kissed his wife and went to his office In the war department, as usual. About 11 o'clock Mrs. ! Meaeham was Informed by a maid that j there was a tramp at the door who ! insisted on seeing the lady of the house. "But I wouldn't advise you to go down; he's the worst lookin' beast I ever saw." Mrs. Meaeham sent the ! maid back to tell the man that she ; was busy, mid the maid returned with the Information that the man was j bound to see the lady, and If she ! didn't come down he would go up. If ! there had been telephones In those ' flays Mrs. Meaeham would have called I the police. But telephones had not yet ! been invented, and there was no man In the house. Mrs. Meaeham finally determined to go down. There In the hall stood the tramp. H e wore no hat on his uncombed hair, but little more J than half of his clothing was available, one foot, was incased In a piece of blanket, the other In n rubber shoe. Mrs. Meaeham's terror was somewhat l mollified by seeing one or two brass buttons on his coat. | "My busbnnd Is In the war depart ;ment," she gasped. "Go to him. He'll provide for you and see that you arc taken en re of by the government." 1 The man suddenly put his hand to Bis hair and clinched something. ' T o r heaven's sake," cried the lady, "don't bring vermin into this house! Q-o nway! fall on Major Meaeham. : He'll attend to your r.-ise." "It's hard lines," whined the tramp, "when a man enn't get a crust in his own house." "Good gracious, ma'am," exclaimed the maid, "he's mad!" ! The tramp looked at Mrs. Meaeham and smiled, n horrible grin which, joneo .seen, would never be forgotten. "Don't you remember the YTankee you j fed one day In the flower garden down In DIxfe?" j Yes, Mrs. Meaeham remembered him. ,5he had never forgotten him. ! "Oh, heavens," nbe walled, "have I married that horrible nightmare of a Fankec? tVhy didn't von tell me?" "Tell you! HOW V.

An eastern editor is wasting time and space showing that red haired girls need no pity. Of course they don't. Men admire their hair aud women envy it. The blond and the brunette have a bit the better of the flame colored girl in a variety of colors they can use. There the superiority ends, for given the proper hue, the one that seta off her crown of red to the best advantage, the bricktop has her sisters "beaten to a frazzle," in the Booaeveltlan language An artistic red haired girl Is the most Btriking and Impressive picture that femininity makes. It's the boy with the carroty locks who deserves sympathy and doesn't get it. Hed hair usually goes with a sensitive disposition, aud the horrors of the life that a bricktop leads at school and play need a Dante of childhood to set forth. He is the target of all the wit and satire the schoolboy mind can conjure up, the butt of the Jokee. Even sympathetic girls get a Roman amphitheater crust over their kind hearts. If they don't indulge in these scarifying personalities they laugh at them.—Cleveland Leader. A Public Benefactor.

Cu.) It was half a a hour before the performance in the big tent, but the molingerie t e a t was begimiiug to fill. T h e fa«oJlae torches were blaziug fiercely apd adding their fuiueu to the ouugimt «Ai(Oal odor», and t h e aruixu* or t h e damp pine tutwdust under foot aided in creating that distinctly circus scent •that is the inceuse of bliss to the noae of the small boy. The venderu of peanuts and pink and white "iemo" were buay at their stands near where t h e rough-hided elephants and shop-worn camels were chained to stakes around t h e centerpole, and through an opening at t h e far end of the tent could be seen t h e tiers of blue plank seats in t h e b i g tent beyond, and one or two blue-jacketed men hastily raking sawdust in the two big rings. A stream of eager sightseers pressed around t h e circle of cages, crowding close to t h e guard-ropes, ejaculating with wonder a t sight of the gnu or eagerly glancing ahead In vain endeavor to see t h e hippopotamus with his cave-like mouth. Those who had caaes or umbrellas slyly poked the animals,-keeping one eye on the sleepy watchmen. It was t h e real circus, t h e only ten combined greatest shows on earth, and i t fcad actually come t o Yarnaby in all its glory with i t s cages and fluttering banners, i t s four champion bands and lightning ticket-sellers. It was the real circus, from the wonderful beasts that appeared on t h e show-bills and nowhere else, to the poles and posts and Beats, painted that shade of blue that fs seen on circus-poles and posts and seats and is seeu there only. All Yarnaby county that had not attended t h e morning performance Crowded the tent that evening, and of all the animals t h e lions were viewed with the greatest awe. The monarchs of the animal kingdom lay at the back X • v • • * "He'a H y p n e r t i i i n ' the L i o n .

When, from sheer weariness, the Uohcss yawned and showed her white teeth, the crowd before (he cage fell back precipitately aiul Mio women uttered little cries of terror. The lionesse let her head drop comfortably between her paws and slaneod at her mate. "What do you think of that?" she .asked. The Hon sniffed contemptuously. "They weary me," he said; "to tell t h e truth, everything wearies me now. I'd like to go back to the jungle. Do you remember the day T killed Ino wild ox, fioon after I met you?" "Indeed I do,'" said the lioness; "I can see you still erawlmg slowly neare r while you held him spell-bound with your eyes until yon sprang upon his back and bore him down." The lion raised bis head and swayed his tall stealthily, as he had in his free days, and then laid hi.s head on his paw and ga^ed through the bars of the cage. , "Yes!" he said. ' Y e s ! 1 would give all this comfort and regular diet for <Ma day of the old bunt.

JHe chuckled grimly. "Do you re memfjor, It wan our firstborn's birthday. .We ate the Englishman for dinner that. night. It was little Leo's first taste of man." "I can se« It very plainly," said the H o n — : "but I should hate to have soavt a m a n with a guu now, dear. Klght years of butcher's meat have dulled your eye*. I fear you could not hypnotise a rabbit now." The lion raised his head and hltt brow contracted, l i e gazed over the heads of the crowd into the jungle of hie youth. The lioness bad hurt his pride. At that moment Silas and Sally stood before t h e ostrich cages. Silas was in his Sunday clothes, a n d on his breast glowed a scarlet tie, and Sally clung to his arm with both hands only loosening her grip from time t o time to take a bite uf t h e brick of popcorn she carried. She glanced a t the crowd ahead of them. "What are we coudn" t o now, S i ? " she asked. "That's the lions," said Silas. "Ever seen a n y ? " ; She tightened her grip on hla ariu and giggled nervously. "No, I ain't," she said, "Ain't you frightened of them?" "Who?—me?" asked Silas, contemptuously. "No, I .ain't scared. They're safe enough; they's stout iron bars to his cage. There's a feller gits in his cage and makes him act. We'll see him in the big tent. I seen it on the show bills." "Ain't you makin' fun of me, S i ? " she asked. "My sakes! I wouldn't git in that cage fer nawfhin'." "Pshaw! it's easy wnen you know how to do it," said Silas. "He does it with his eye. Hypnertizes 'em." "What's t h a t ? " she asked. "How kin anybody hypnertize a lion, Si?" "Well, he jlst looks him plum in the eye, steady. I read all about it once. When he looks hard enough the lion's got ter do what he wants him ter do." "Ain't that funny, n o w ! " giggled Sally. "I bet you couldn't do it." "I bet I kin," he boasted; "I got a mighty steady eye." They had edged their way up to the lion's cage, and as the lion lowered his gaze it fell on t h e scarlet of Silas* tie. "Well, my dear," said t h e Hon, "I may be getting stout, but I'll show you my eye has lost none of its cunning. See that man with t h e red spot on his breast? I will hold him spellbound as I did the ox and the Englishman until you a r e convinced." The lion arose and walked to t h e front of the cage, his eyes fastened on Silas' face. Sally screamed and drew back in terror, but Silas laughed. "Don't be scared," he said; "jlst hang onto me. I'll show you I kin hypnertize him." "What you goin' ter make him do?" asked Sally, tremulously. "I'm a-goin' t e r make him go back an' lay down," said Silas. He braced his feet firmly and gazed straight Into the lion's eyes, repeating Blowly under his breath: "Go an' lay down! Go a n ' lay down!" and the lion leaned his nose against a bar and glared at Silas. The crowd edged close to Silas. "What's he doin'?" they asked in whispers. Sally giggled. "Pie's hypnertizin' the lion," she whispered, proudly, and t h e word passed from one to another, and all stood eagerly watching Silas and t h e Hon by trims. The pupils of-the lion's eyes contracted and expanded. Flashes of yellow fire flew from them. His tail swung slowly to and fro, coiling and uncoiling like an angry serpent. Silas wrinkled bis brow and frowned steadily nt the lion. He clenched his fists and drew every muscle tense. He breathed quickly, and dug his toes into the insoles of his boots, and tried t o concentrate his whole being into the words: "Go aa'- ray floWn," that ran through h i s brain, r.nd t h e minutes slipped by. The crowd wearied and passed on, but Silas ajud the lion stood motion less. The ,lion swung his tall more rapidly, and his uostrllrt quivered with ex cltement, and Silas set b i s teeth on his tongue and lowered bis eyelids until his eyes gleamed narrow and snakedlke. The lioness raised her khaki colored head and gazed on t h e affair with interest, and Sally glanced proudly a t Silas" face aud then anxiously a t the emptying tent. Silas grew warm and uncomfortable and shifted bis weight from foot t o foot. T h e veins swelled into great cords on his neck and hands, and he threw his chin upward and beat, bis head forward. "Go an' lay down:" he almost hissed, but t h e lion swung his tail aud gazed steadily with unwinking eyes. In the- big tent the band began playing. Sally and Silas were left alone with t h e lioness and h e r mate. Silas longed to turn and fly, but the reputation of his eye waa at stake. T h e lion too was weary. H e seldom stood so long, for he had grown fat in captivity. A burst of applause In t h e big tent told that t h e "grand triumphal entry aud pageant of all nations" had begun, and Sally pulled gently at Silas' arm. The lioness stretched herself and yawned. "Well, dear," she said, "I admii youi eye has lost none of its cunning. Coma and He down now, or you will be too tired t o sleep to-night." The lion gave Silas a parting glance, turned slowly and lay down beside his mate, and Silas straightened his cramped back and wiped his hot face. "You done it, didn't you?" said Sally. "Hurry on, or we won't git no seats in the big tent." Reports Seeing Leprechaun. A real live Leprechaun, one of the little folk, is reported to l a v e made his appearance at Newport, Tipperary, where people a r e credulous. A well-known resident of t h a district, whilst on his way home with a creel of peat, was startled at the appearance of a diminutive man. H e was dressed in tightly-fitting pants, coat of brown, white shoes, grey stockings, and a brown cap, set off by a red tassel. Ap parently years are telling even on the Leprechaun, for he walked with a limp. T h e gentleman who saw the mannikin was so anxious to capture him that he forgot that to lose sight of him even for an instant is fatal to one's chances of getting the pot of fairy gold. The man stopped to pick up a missle with which to 'level" the Leprechaun, as he expressed it. When ho looked up t h e cuto little fairy had vanished. Recent Electric Railroad Mileage.

INSTRUMENT FOUND ITS SOUL •x- The Story of a Violin That Was Wrecked in a Fire. After t h e Lucky Baldwin theater and hotel fire in San Francisco years ago there were nine feet of water in the basement, where the instruments of the orchestra were stored. When a little of it had been pumped out, August Hinrichs, leader of the orchestra, hired a man to swim in and get out his famous AmatI violin. It was wrecked—water soaked, warped, twisted and broken up into 68 pieces. The hot water had soaked out. all t h e old glue, and every piece had fallen away from its neighbor, besides a good many patches of wood put in when repairs had been done. To all appearance the thing was smashed beyond recall. Nevertheless, Herman Muller, a local violin repairer, who knew and loved the old fiddle, took It in hand. Twice he carefully joined t h e timedarkened pieces of wood. Twice he decided that the AmatI would not do. So once more he soaked the 68 bite of wood apart. Then h e carefully modeled out of clay an arch such a? he remembered that of t h e old Amati to have had, and for nine weks kept the bits of wood bound to it until they had gained the proper shape. Once more he put the bits of wood together. Then for five weeks more he patiently varnished tfhd polished the more than 200-year-old fiddle until it. shone. Then Hinrichs once more drew his how across t h e vibrating strings, and the violin spoke. It sang. wept, bubbled with life and joy. The AmatI had found Its soul.

St. Louis.—To t h e perspicuity of a detective of the East St. Louis police department, t h e sex of Mabel Davis, who h a s been working several years at J a m e s Davis, waa discovered a t the JCaat St. Loulb police station the other day. She, with her "pal," Del Brown, was arrested on a charge of stealing from some of t h e boarders a t Hal's boarding hou e. She was taken to Belleville where Sheriff Cashel provided h e r with female garments, although she declared that she did not expect to wear them. With hands calloused and hardened aud a frame indicative of the ordinary She W a s Arrested w i t h H e r " P a l , " Del Brown, f o r Robbery. laborer, Mabel looked like a husky man. It was t h e finely molded neck which attracted the detective to the girl. He thought Mabel's neck looked too soft aud delicate for a man, even if he was dressed in common clothes. Grabbing Mabel by the shoulder, he asked her what she meant by posing as a man. Then, like a woman, Mabel broke down and cried, and finally admitted she was a woman. „ For a year Mabel has been a hobo and a common laborer. She was born and reared in Waverly, N. Y., and she says that she has worked behind the plow ever since she has been able to handle the reins. A year ago the people with whom she lived died, she said, and left her alone in the world. She decided to go west, and a s she had no money, she adopted male attire. Mabel said she worked her way and part of the time "bummed it." She told the police that she could ride the bumpers with the facility of the educated hobo. On her trips with hob'os she got into the habit of smoking cigarettes, and now rolls them with the facility of a man. She also learned to chew tobacco. Six months ago she got a job in St. Louis with a wrecking company and helped to tear down old buildings. She worked at this for a month and then came to the East side as a dishwasher and assistant cook at a grading camp. She then got a job at a boarding house, and in dull times usorl to shovel with the section hands. All of this time, she says, no one suspected that she waa a girl. S E L L S H I S W I F E F O R $20. Husband Deeds Young Mother w i t h Babe to Man of Fifty. New Westminster, Mo.—The assistance of 'Chief of City Police Mcintosh and Detective Rradshaw was sought by a man named Barker, a resident of Sapporton, who claimed that he was not getting satisfaction out of an extraordinary bargain into which he had entered with an individual named Gerard, who had, on payment, of $20 cash, ceded all his interests in his wife, a comely young woman of 1.9, to Barker, who is past 40. The woman was in the maternity cottage a t Royal Columbian hospital when the transfer waa made. Gerard left, the city for the south shortly after leeeiving tho $20. The sale of the woman became public property when Barker went to the hospital to claim her while s h e waa still too weak to leave the institution, having a baby to care for. The man insisted on her taking up h e r abode with him, but she insisted on delay. Unable to persuade her to accompany him, Barker went to the police for help and told the story of the deal. He commented that all the woman's clothes and personal effects had been thrown into the bargain for the $20, and that these were then at his real dence. While all the parties concerned In this deal a r e whites, the woman is related by marriage to a number oJ Chinese in this city, May Wtens&wriftty ovaccfra* 5\stosvuvJ\WwfcVtu\y tau$i&\a\ rooty \M 4TQ&\U% $\ypiiw& wifa wub&\«& wWra^ivK& ore tooasufe prefer ^rta,oa&Ti^Ytvit| $ M H % CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. .SOLD aVAU-LBAPIMO PftUOCIST* _ ORK»ixcomy*-acQULAi) Mice 50+PtR aoTTufi True friendship can afford true knowledge.

THE 'CRACKING OF PAINT. LET CHILDREN GO HUNGRY Missionary Talis of Halr-Rsislng Experience with Reptile In the Jungle District of India—Blows Serpent's Head Off. Seattle, Wash. - I n an address on religious work in India, Rev. N. P. Nielsen, who has been living for 16 years in Pooua, Bombay, as an independent missionary in one ol the. jungle dis tricts, said that 30,00(^ persons "were killed there every year by cobras, which they worship fanatically. The Brahmins of Poona, Bombay presidency, are retarded in their approach to civilization by their constant veneration for the reptiles, uud even when Christianized cannot bring themselves to kill one of them. "The animal and reptile worship-of India is startling," said Rev. Mr. Nielsen. "In every living thing, through the doctrine of reincarnation and the worship of ancestors, the Brahmins see a forefather, and to kill a cobra with them is to kill a grandmother. They safeguard the lives of these venomous creatures with jealous care. "1 have known many of them, in the bitterest dregs of biting poverty, to starve their babies in order to feed milk to these deadliest of enemies, which might strike them down a moment after having their fill. To convert the Brahmins to Christianity means to remove in some degree this reptile worship, but they are long in the teachings of Christ before they will consent to kill a cobra. "Escapes from the deadly bite of the cobra are common to the jungle missionary, and one experience of mine will suffice as a type of a long list •luring the 1G years I was circuit riding among these people. I started out on my Dicycle late one afternoon from Poona, for the purpose of reaching an outlying district that night. I carried with me a rifle and "I Saw the Slimy Length of One of These Pests About Me." some provisions. Darkness overtook me when 40 miles out, and I saw there was nothing for it but to lie on the ground and sleep. "Something oppressed me when 1 awoke early in the morning, and when I tried to get my breath the life was nearly choked out of me. I had long before learned the habits of the cobra, and instinctively shuddered as through half-closed lids I saw the slimy length of one of these pests about me. Its tail was coiled half way about my neck, its head at my ankle, ready at an instant's alarm to kill me as I lay. "A movement would have been death. Scarcely daring to breathe, I grew cold from the roots of my hair to the soles of my feet. The delicately poised nature of the snake must have caught my Involuntary shudder, for within the n«xt moment or two I felt fhe coils sTOwly relax about my neck and the long sinuous body begin to take up its length. The fine haad was HftcrT~from my ankle, and aa it slowly reache4 t h e srepuhd at my feet, raised Itself and stole aoft}y fcway. "I dared not make any motion until It was twenty or thirty feet away. Quickly, swinging my rifle into position. I flrtd and blew off its head. This %as no{. an easy,shot at that distance, but I'have been regarded as a fairly good m'arksniftri, and my fife deponded on a steady w»rve. The anako measured eight feet and six inches in length." Property Owners Can 8 a v s Money Ay Learning the Cause. Do you know whjftt is wrong wfcen paint peels, o r cracks, or otherwise necessitates premature re-painting? Well, sometimes it hasn't been properly applied—the surface being damp or there being too much turpentine or too much drier. But, nine times out of ten, t h e trouble is caused by adulterated white lead. To avoid all uuch trouble, every houseowner should know in a general way, when a surface is in proper condition to receive paint, what kind of primer and finishing coats different surfaces require, and how to avoid adulteration in materials. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, specifications for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulterations in painting materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking for Hauseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. This company, the largest makers of pure white lead, invite tests, by means of the blowpipe (included In outfit), or in any other way, of the purity of the white lead sold under their famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark. That trademark on a k e g of white lead is in itself an absolute guarantee of purity and quality. The secret or success. The motto of success was given in this tale, told at a banquet: A Swede among the miners in the west was noted for always strikfug pay dirt. His fellows thought that there must be some secret to the unusual success of the Swede and questioned him as to how he always succeeded in finding the spot where the gold cropped out. "Veil, Ay don't know ef Ay can tell anytang 'bout dat," answered Ole. "Ay only know dat Ay yust keep on diggin'. "-—Milwaukee Free Press. A Modern Miracle. "I caused the dumb to speak today."

I noticed the richness of j it and remarked that the coffee tasted ! fine but my sister did not. tell me ! I was drinking Postum for fear I might not take any more. "She kept, the secret and kept giving me Postum instead of coffee until I grew stronger, more tireless, got. a j better color in my sallow cheeks and j a clearness to my eyes, then she told { me of the health-giving, nerve- j strengthening life-saver she had given • me in place of my morning coffee, i From that time I became a disciple of Postum and no words can do justice in telling the goo<I this cereal drink did me.

JI-*».» » , » , . « • » . . « » » • » . « . , » . , » « « . , . - « , , , , , « « , , » , , ^ ^ . ^ [Copyright, iyo«, by Arnericun l'resa Association.] Did I ever tell you how I was honored by an invitation from the emperor and empress and was thereby made a part of Berlin society? No? Well, I'll tell you now. While iu Vienna 1 was invited to a •tate bull at the palace. My partner /or the cotillon was a young German, Graf von Blunien-Schloss. He was handsome, refined and of a noble bear lug. His social position was of the very best not only from his personal ity, but because he represented one of the oldest families of Prussia. I was an untitled American whose father hud been a pork packer and whose hus band was a manufacturer of shoes. Nevertheless Graf vou Blumen-Sehlofls treated me with as much attention as If I had been a duchess. When with me no attraction elsewhere could induce him to desist from listening to what I had to aay to him or to suspend for a moment hia attentive gaze upon my face. True, 1 was then young and had some good looks, but I knew it was not I who held his attention, but a courtesy inherited from a long line of nobles. Besides, when he was with #>thor women he was apparently quite as much wrapped In them. He wore an army uniform and on his breast several decorations. I did not know what they represented, but I understood that one of them had been bestowed upon him for bravery in battle. I think I should have fallen in love with him If I had been single and given an opportunity. But I did not sec him nj?ain while in Vienna, and shortly afterward we left for America. Two or three years after this, while in Philadelphia, stopping at one of the finest lintels in that city, on entering an elevator one evening to go up to my rooms I was ushered in by a man wearing the hotel uniform. There was something about him that was fapiliar to me. The uniform of a servant seemed to resolve itself Into that of an army officer. I heard the strains of dance misic and was whirling in the german cotillon. I raised my glance to the servant's face. Could I believe It? He was the Graf von Blumen- Schloss. His flaming face told me that it was Indeed he and that, he knew me, but he made no other sign of recognition. Nor did I. The elevator door toward which he waved his hand stood open. I entered and was lifted to the fifth Btory. I could not bear to run the risk of continually meeting my previous cotillon partner reduced to a servant, and the next morning I left the hotel. Throe years after that my husband gave up business, and we again went abroad. Being wealthy and abundantly able to keep up a position in any foreign city, we desired especially to spend a winter In Berlin, but on arriving there my husband, who is an impatient, independent, thorough Amer lean, gave offense to our minister, and there was a deadlock upon our entering society. We "were about to give the matter up and go elsewhere when something occurred to change our reso lution. An invitation enme one morn lng to attend a ball to be given by Graf and Gramn von Blumen-Schlosa. It was evident, first, that the graf had resumed his original position in the world and. second, that he knew I was In Berlin. I assumed that he must have seen me, though I had not seep him. We mad* inquiries and learatfc that he had married a wealthy and refined Amerlcanjpdx and^ hMjK£?ntly been appointed an aid-de-camp to the emperor. We went to the ball an* were very graciously received by the graffln, who gave UH a reason for Inviting us that we were her fellow countrymen. My meeting with her husband In his own home was naturally constrained. He made no mention of having met me In America, but asked me if he had not met me in Europe. I told him that he had been my partner at a state ball In Vienna. Then he appeared to remember. He may have been sincere In not giving evidence of recollecting just where he had tirst seen me. Later a n ' Invitation came to dine with the emperor and empress, which, of course, wus Inspired by his aid-decamp, the Von Blumen Schlosses being of the dinner party. After this we were welcome everywhere. Never did either Von Blumen Bchlosa or his wife make the slightest allusion to his havlug been in America. I as well Ignored having met him in hotel livery. What inspired hia kindness to me I do not know. It may have been intended to keep me silent on his pust or It might have been a token of gratitude for my failure to recognize him while in a menial position. Indeed, he might have been Influenced by both of these causes. In time I came upon his story. Soon after 1 had danced with Iilm In Vienna financial reverses deprived him of his fortune. Like many an Europiau aristocrat In the same circumstances, he went to America aud became a servant. From the hotel he >veut to serve a gentleman as chauffeur aud while acting in that capacity won the heart of his daughter. Learning who he was, she had married him with her father's consent and set him up again as a Von Blumeu-Sehloss. After the marriage the husband came into another fortune. All that was known In Europe about his having been in America was that he had married there. he ?.ro I here to get a a etaiidestine manner? cf means he could not have ^-o'ne fur matrimonial purposes 1n ::uv oilier wav YT n-:::s.\ r H O L T .

MIOHIOAW Fama Deforr»d„, John LaFarjje,, for many*$earB *%1«- iratpd mural painter, when he received i m«dal of honor from the Architect .liral league of New York, a few weeks igo, accepted it "with some' reticence »f thanks," as he said in a spirit of pleasantry, as coming rather late. His rears of work were almost pant, he s>aid, and recognition now was usetesa "as a help to live, although had it been accorded earlier it would have Htnoothed a very toilsome road. A few days previous to this presentation, when Mr. W. P. Frith, member of the Royal Academy, attained his ninetieth birthday, it was noted that pictures he had cold in his early days for u hundred dollars afterward brought more than a^m^O-rrof which, of course, ha received nothing. Another academician, remarking on this fact, observed that fame sometimes yields little practical benefit to the one w*o wins it, to his family, or to comrades he would gladly aid. Millet's "Angelus" was sold by the painter for $200, but after Millet became famous it changed hands six times, always at an advance, and was finally bought by an American for $160,000. Yet its value, as a work of art, was fixed when it left the easel. Sp the academician suggested that in similar eases a percentage of the advanced price should be paid to the artist's heirs, or if there were none, be used by the state to purchase the productions of living painters. Anomalies of the "Angelus" variety are not confined to any class of artists. Authors, composers, inventors and all who exercise creative gifts are subject to the experience shared by the painters, nor is it easy to name a practicable remedy. All the more keenly, it may be, pays the Youth's Companion, one feels "the pity of it" that fame, or the rewards of fame, should come too late to help a genius to live; and one wishes that, before expending vast sums for "old masters," prospective purchasers would try to satisfy themselves that no new master is striving—and starving— within easy reach. An important step toward stopping the waste of the fuel resources of the country has been taken by the United BtateB geological survey in its tests of the coals of the Rocky mountain region at the government plant in Denver, Col. At that plant the purpose has been to determine what coals of this region are capable of making coke that can be used by the great metallurgy Interests of the west. Of 37 coals tested, the government experts succeeded in producing good coke from all but three, though a number of these coals had never been known to be capable of making coke. These results, which will prove of much Importance to the west in the next few years, were obtained by following out a carefully prepared treatment of the coals. Each of the coals was washed 1n order to get rid of the ash, sulphur and other impurities which prevent the making of coke that is of any use in metallurgical work. The washing tests not only prepared these coals so that, they made good coke, but also demonstrated the fact that many coals of the west which have too much ash and sulphur to bft used economically under a steam boiler may be rendered of commercial value through such treatment. Women of wealth and fashion in New York are now personally lobbying for the support of legislative bills in which they are interested. Whatever may be individual opinion on tftiR departure from established convention there is no doubt conditions are changing and that t h e period of transition now unmistakably upon us is bound to bring forth results leading to a marked readjustment. Whether that readjustment will be for the better or the worse remains to be seen, but hope is given by the fact that important movements of the present are In the main rnarully and socially progressive. At least the good sense of the public may be relied upon to check excesses in the way of reforms. The ancient g:old cup from which King Edward drank to the health of the city of Berlin has been engraved with an inscription recording the dates and the circumstances of the reception and placed in the strong room of the Rathaus, to be kept as a memento. Edward VII. was the first foreign ruler who has visited that municipal palace on its own behalf, and this ancient ctip is to be treasured aa the symbol of a ^ew era in the history •# r.rlk . BRUTAL THREAT BY SNEAK WRITER H U M A N HYENAS STILL AT WORK TO WRING MONEY FROM T H E MOONS. DASTARDLY LETTER OUT. Cruel Wretch Makes Threats That Wifs and Daughter Will B« KMr«d Unless Money la Given. Not conttjut with rending the heart of human Moon, father of the drowned boy Harold, for whom a country-wide search was made, by decoying him to Delavan, Wis., through a letter pur* porting to show that the lad had been kidnaped *nd would be returned for $500, the inhuman money-seeker has written a second letter, threatening to kill his wife and daughter. Most cruel of all, the writer attempts to make the father believe that the lad was hurled into Thread pond and drowned after he had failed to place the money demanded for his son's ransom in the mouth of the obi park cannon in Delavan. From the absurdity of trying to make the family believe the boy was the victim of his supposed captors— as the body showed it had been in the water a long time and the little skates were on Harold's feet—it was at first believed the second letter was a hoax and that some feeble or evil-minded person had sent it to annoy Mr. Moon and gratify a morbid tendency. However, on the advice of the police, the letter was forwarded to ihe Pinkerton detectives in Chicago, whence the letter came. The first one was from Delavan, Wis. Mr. Moon and the Flint police are of the opinion that the letter, which is apparently in the same handwriting aa the first one, was sent by the same vampire. Like the earlier missive, it was written in pencil and there was no signature. At the bottom of the sheet was a skull and cross-bones, rudely drawn. While a demand is made for $3,000, with a penalty of death of Mrs. Moon and her daughter Marian, aged 17, no method of delivering the ransom is suggested. The second letter from the blackmailer, as if to make the wound deeper, arrived j-ust before the funeral service over the body of Harold. Lester Moon, the ]6-year-oU! brother of Harold, after the funeral told Sheriff Parkhurst of the threatening letter, but the family and officers succeeded in keeping the matter temporarily quiet. The Chicago Pinkerton detective who is working on the Moon case in Delavan, and who believes he recognized the man when ho was prowling about the park in the vicinity of the cannon, is one who aided in ferriting out the disappearance of the Cudahy boy, who was kidnaped a few years ago by Pat Crowe. Mr. Moon has placed the rase entirely in the hands of the Pinkertons and is awaiting developments. In the meantime he is taking good care to guard the members of his family from harm. - • • A Freak Election. Joseph Sadoni, living with his "12 apostles" in White River township, and one of the most peculiar religious fanatics in the county, was elected school inspector of the township after one of the hardest contests ever fought out there. His majority was 13. A. J. Gladstone ("Unkisaed") Dowie, son of the former "prophet," John Alexander Dowie, of the Zionist movement of a few years ago, is shown to have been defeated for township clerk of Montague township on latest returns. He ran on the independent ticket. Clerk Paul Kling, who was defeated for renomination at the regular township caucus, ran on the slips and won from a field of three regularly nominated competitors.

Moses Taylor, for 29 years crier of the supreme court, and the oldeBt employe of the s t a t e of Michigan, has resigned his position. Mr. Taylor is 92. Charles Klmmerle, of CassOpolls, one-time candidate for governor, was defeated at the recent election for supervisor, an office which he has held for 22 years. Maurice Ostlund, a Mellen township farmer, shot the largest wildcat ever seen there. The animal measured nearly six feet from the nose to the tip of its tail. Farmers near Keystone have formed an organization to keep fishermen and hunters, who they say kill their stock and do other damage, from trespassing on the farms.

Some of the Special Features of the BUI That Will Be of Interest to the People. The house of representatives has passed the Payne tariff bill, 217 to 161. Rep. Austin (Tex.) was the only Republican to vote against it and four Democrats — all from Louisiana — Broussard, Estopiual, Pujo and Wick* Hffe, voted for it. Democrat Leader Champ Clark tried to obtalu a recommittal, with Instructions, but failed. The Republicans cheered, lustily and danced up and down in the aisles. The bill now goes to the senate. Rep. Fordney (Mich.) won a hard fought battle when he succeeded in keeping rough lumber off the free list with a- $1 duty. The vote on this* schedule was 200 to 181 and the only Michigan member to vote ugaiust it was' Rep. Hamilton. Fordney started his fight March 15 with only six supporters. The general reason for members supporting him was that ¢2,000,000 revenue would be lost and the Canadian lumbermen be the only gainers. A fight will be made in the senate to raise the duty to $1.50 or $2. Hides remain on the free list and the increased duty on gloves and stockings remains. The members seemed to consider the putting of oil on the free list a slap at the Standard Oil. Co. and only 4G opposed it. Speaker Cannon was one and Rep. Young (Mich.) another. Tea is left on the free list, and the countervailing duty taken off coffee. — . . L I T T L f f p A S T R O Ctrfled A board ^ tylip on- Refusal to Leave Martinique.

At half past 8 o'clock a force of gendarmes went to Castro's room and he was placed on a mattress, he refusing t o put on his clothes, and carried on a stretcher to the steamer, a distance of more than a mile. A thousand or more of th6 population had assembled by this time and a great deal of sympathy was expressed for Castro. He complained of great suffering and every movement of the stretcher seemed to give him further pain. The Versailles sailed at I) o'clock and measures have been taken to keep a careful watch on Castro during the voyage.

Frank W. Lyle, under indictment for wrecking the Lyle-Gage private bank at Dowagiac, who was found dead Wednesday at his rooms in Chicago was not a suicide, in spite of the broadcast report to that effect, if what a physician who made an examination, says is true. The doctor summoned immediately on the finding of the body asserted that death was due to a complication of diseases, including erysipelas. Lyle had been living with a former Michigan woman, It is said, and when his body was found, it was reported that the woman had taken poison with him, to carry out. a supposed death pact. This report proved to be untrue and was found on the woman's recent. Illness. Lyle, since his indictment, had been out on $13,000 bonds. Victims of Wind Storm. The blowing down in yesterday's gale of a fire wall in Mitchell Bros.' planing mill at. Jennings, instantly crushed out the lives of a man and a boy and injured another boy so that he died shortly after. The dead are John Torrey, aged 35; Charles Jacob-4 son, aged 16. and Bernard Carlson, aged 15. Both Torrey and Jacobson wer? killed instantly. Their bodies were almost unrecognizable. Young Carlson was so badly crushed about, the face that, his death occurred in about an hour. A fourth person, young Oscar Nordstrom, sustained injuries which were not severe.

LITTLEJOKfcRS. ii11 > » • • • • Those Said To Be In The Payne Tariff BUI Pointed Out. The intricacies of the Payne tariff bill and the complications which may result from its enactment into law, are illustrated by the hide and leather schedules. ^,,1,1^ connection with the maximum and "minimum provisions of the new bill a peculiar situation is presented. The bill places hidjes on the free list, with a retaliatory provision for a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on hides coming from countries which do not give the United States the benefit of the mosfcfavored nation clause. The duty on sole leather, as now in the bill, is 5 per cent.ad valorem. The maximum dnty provided for sole leather is 20 per cent of the duty in addition, which makes it 6 per cent ad valorem. It is contended that the inequality between the maximum duties on hides and sole leather is so great that it will seriously affect the American tanners. It waR pointed out that Venezuela, for instance, would find it to its advantage to have the maximum rates of duty in the Payne bill apply against its products, in order to encourage its tanning industry. While its hides would not find as large a market on account of the 20 per cent duty, factories for tanning the hides and exporting the sole leather to the U. S. would have an advantage over the American manufacturers, whose hides wou'd cost more on account of the maximum duty, without a similar increase in the amount, of protection on sole leather. Opposes Specific Taxes. A special committee representing the board of supervisors and the city council of Sault Ste. Marie has decided to oppose the specific tax law, the country members outvoting the city members, who favored retaining the present law. Representative N. L. Field and Senator Fowle will be urged to work for the repeal of the law. The law provides for a specific tax of one pei' cent on the capital stock of power companies instead of the usual taxes on property. The Michigan- Lake Superior Power Co. pays only $5,000 a year on its plant, which cost about $7,000,000. The company is in process of reorganization, and the city members believe the law should stand until the concern gets on its feet. It is claimed the repeal of the law will hinder financing the company, Mrs. James Colwell, of Ionia, was smothered by coal gas. She was 73 years of age. THE MARKETS. Gov.

Awaiting An Heir. The birth of an heir to the throne of Holland Is confidently expected this week, and if all goes well the outburst of popular enthusiasm will be such as has seldom been witnessed among the placid Dutch. There has been no royal birth in the Nether- 'ands since that of Queen Wilhelmina herself, 27 years ago. Thrice before, since the marriage of "Little Wilhelmina," as the Hollanders affectionately call the queen, have the hopes of the country been raised, only to be dashed. The constant fear of the Dutch hea been that the house of Orange would die out with s childless sovereign, and that Holland would paRS under the rule of a German prince, and would thereby possibly become a German vassal state. This partly accounts for the extraordinary eagerness with which the event Is awaited in every town and village In the Netherlands. , D e t r o i t . — C a t t l e — E x t r a dry-(e<l s t o e r s 'and h e i f e r s , $5.50; s t e m s a n d Ucifors, 1,0(10 to t.200 Iris, $5,2'5"<R)Ti.60; s t e e r s a n d h e i f e r s . *00 to 1,000 lbs, $5(8)5.40; s t e e r s a n d h e i f e r s t h a t a r e fat. 500 to 700 lbs, $5; c h o i c e fat c o w s . $4.60; g o o d f a t r o w s , $4; c o m m o n OOWK, $3<fJ3.2f>; d i n - n e r s , $L75f/il!; c h o i c e h e a v y b u l l s , $46$ 4.25; f a i r to good b o l o g n a s , b u l l s , $4; s t o c k h u l l s , $8.75; c h o i c e f e e d i n g s t e e r s , 800 to 1,000 lbs, $4..10(614.75: f a i r feedi n g s t e e r s . 800 to 1,000 Ihs. $4 ¢0 4.25: c h o i c e B l o c k e r s , r>00 to 700 lbs, $4.25fl> 4..10: f a i r s t o c k e r s 500 to 700 lbs, $4; s l o c k h e i f e r s , $3.50; m i l k e r s , l a r g e , y o u n g , m e d i u m a g e , $40(0)55; c o m m o n m i l k e r s , $25@35.

WEIL <fc|^H^», 3 Y N O P 8 I S . "Van'laliln* Fleets." a story of "what Alight have happened," opens In Washington with the United States and J a p a n near war. Guy Hilllur, secretary of the British embassy, and .Mlsa Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are lntix>duced a s lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy Hillier starts for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports a r e closed. Tokyo learns of missing J a p - anese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to »«nd a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hllltcr is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bevins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an Impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberta visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels. Roberts evolves a great ttylng machine. The cabinet plans a radioplane war against Japanese. The start is made for the scene of conflict. The Japanese fleet, believing Nippon supreme, suddenly discerns the radioplane fleet. After maneuvering the airships descend, and by use of strong magnets lift the warships, one by one, from the sea. The vessels are deposited in a mountain lake In the United States to await peace. The British fleet accepts American hospitality and is conveyed to the United States by the wingless terrors. To show the kaiser their wonderful invention, that ruler Is taken on a long trip—his first visit to America—thus accounting for his mysterious disappearance from Berlin. The radioplane breaks down. CHAPTER XXI.-—Continued. It was noon before the workers saw him again. They came out of the dark hull for a cold luncheon, and were joined by the emperor, who sat silently through the meal. Again they resumed work, and this time it was dusk when they emerged. There before them was a camp fire, and studiously broiling trout, caught with and prepared by his own hands, was the kaiser. On huge pieces of birch bark "before the coals he had spread his catch, and with a boy's jubilation laughed at their surprise. His national philosophy had conquered, and the sovereign had become a democrat in truth. As a boy he recounted his adventures of the day, and as a tired boy he went to rest. The next day was given up to the rifle, and hunting such as he had never dreamed of having was before him. Indeed, he had turned camp hunter, and with success. So ended the second day, and so passed many others. And each day brought him nearer to thoso round him, each night brought him better rest, and every hour added to the broadening of his serenity. He was now merely a man among men, playing his part in his own way, enjoying it, and finding the worries of empire dropping away in this spot where all hia crown of rulership" availed him nothing. What was the need to fret when his hands were tied? Why not dismiss it all from his mind? The great federation would pass on and on long after his bones had gone to dust. Here in these Canadian woods, which he had never dared hope to invade, was life such as he had dreamed of, freedom such as he had never known, and absence of all formality. Here were men who were learning to love him for himself, and for whom he was forming an af- Itctlon that would last him to tho end. .^4. Strange as it seemed, the cloud Which had disturbed him on the night of the accident had taken another form. Then it had been because he was to be detained for an indefinite time. Now it wan because the detention was to be so short, and he saw with regret that the time for his departure was nearly at. hand. He foresaw the reluctance with which he would enter that craft of tho air and hear its metal door close him in for homeward flight, but as a prison door shutting him out forever from the forests nnd hills, the pools and brooks, which he had learned to love. Only now and then, as he tramped beside eome stream or followed some game trail cut through the- fallal* leaves by countless caribou, he would^smlfe ironically at the amazement and alarm which muit^have b*en Ac#usjad. .fiy hia •bMBCt, not only In his own e m p i r e ' but In rtBjU«it«frifit«teHJ»wtef<» those who had- caused his disappearance. ...

On the first day when the expedition failed to return from its voyage of conciliation no undue alarm was occasioned, it being considered entirely possible that it had been compelled to return directly to the key to avoid observation. Another 24 hours of silence caused comment; but again it was regarded as tenable that a barrier in the first quest had required a second trip. The third day passed with anxious expectations but no news. The fourth, however, was a memorable one;' fur then it became known to the entire civilized wurld that the heads of a nation had beau abducted, and the situation in Washington grew almost unbearable. In response to an urgent message to the plant, "Old Bill" Roberts, Norma, and Bevins appeared on the fifth night, utilizing the new radioplane fur their visit. The gravity of the consultation which followed was intense; but the faith of the inventor lu bis work afforded some measure of relief. "It would be almost impossible," he asserted, "for anything worse to befall them than delay. They may have been cast away in the air or on the land by an accident to their steering armada mfgnThfiVf *alled?'<XB case It had not, the secret-would be given out and search begun actively ''for the missing Norma and h e r distinguished passengers; but ra any event British support would iiave been ajtsuwd. Bevins, foreseeing the difficulty of his task, asked and obtained" permission to Invite the British admiral to accompany him, t h e whsdom of which was evidenced. Favored by the difference In time, the speedy Roberts on that very night crossed the Atlantic and deposited letters to secret sendee agents in London, Instructing them to obtain positive knowledge of where the king might be found t i e following evejUn^ On bur return she conveyed Fields and the Dreadnought to the, key, preparatory to the xncr meutous journey. That tllght which was again to disturb the thrones or Europe was accomplished without incident, but not without difficulty. The Roberts swouped down from the heights of air, untenanted save by her, to find spread between the earth and sky a blanket of fog, thick aud Impenetrable. Into it she slowly dropped, groplug this way aud that over the unsuspecting city, whose sounds came up to her but gave no hint as to locality. Aimlessly she wandered here aud there in the murk, taking desperate chances in her quest. Suddenly something loomed directly below the open port, from which Bevins was leaning and peering down, and only a quick change of course avoided a collision. Fields joined him, and identified the dome of Saint Paul's. It was a narrow escape, but enabled them to set their course and gain the He Had Turned Camp Hunter. gear, which would require flight, in straight lines. Nothing but a blow such as was sustained by Seventeen in battle could even temporarily stop both dynamos; hence it is improbable that they lost their lives." Step by step he reasoned out the course which would be pursued, and at last gave it as his opinion that the Norma had come to ground in Canadian woods. He suggested searching expeditions, even though it entailed the exposure of the secret, the abandonment of the Oriental campaign, and the opportunity to establish permanent peace. The president alone stood steadfast for the latter hope, and was quick to offer a new plan. It was that the people of Great Britain themselves should have a conclusive and final demonstration, and, yielding to his arguments, it was agreed upon. The project was no less daring than those which had been executed before. The Dreadnought was to be deposited in the Thames under rover of darkness, and in an apparently impossible position, where the people of London might look upon it as nn ohject lesson. Immediately afterwards the king and his most, powerful officials were to be shown the working of the radioplane, that they might be in a position to advance measures for peace and disarmament, fortifying their arguments by their own poaervationg> , The utxnoat • secrecy war- to- be maintained, because i n j £ e meantime the Chines* deserted greens of Saint James' Park, where Bevins was lowered by ropes to the earth. He stood for a moment while the bulk of the radioplane and the Dreadnought which she was carrying rose into the air and disappeared from view. He felt, alone in an unfriendly city, but set his teeth and stumbled out to a street, where he enlisted the services of a constable and a hansom, and was conveyed to the Cecil, whose lighted doors stared out upon the fog washed courtyard leading from the Strand. His message of the previous night had met with instant response, and no one would have suspected that the two men who lounged in the hotel entrance in seeming idle conversation, smoking and watching passersby, were important agents in the hands of fate. As nonchalantly as they had met they parted, one returning within doors, and the other sauntering baek to the waiting hansom which was to convey the admiral to the hippodrome and a daring audience with the king. The fog deadened bells of the ancient city marked only an hour's time before he had emerged .and returned to the park entrance, where the wondering driver was dismissed, shaking his head and marveling at the idiosyncrasies of the Americans, who seemed never to have a resonable destination. Once more the grim old admiral Ifrtp^I tnrough t h e paths to hts rendezvous and gave the whistled signal t o his waiting craft, witter* during nts absence had released Its burden near Westminster bridge and above Qlackfrlars, where her position would, be both acceBsilfte and impressive to iha peopTb on the* following jaornlnf. lijf into trie air for o*stfbrt distance, then down again in hovering silence, ttier Roberts went, and,4*nde4iher coiamundec in the garden behind Buckingham. The fog was no lunger an enemy; for now she remained motionless only a tew feet above the roof which had sheltered so many kings and queens. This nearness aided the quick visit of ^th#. .British officer to his sov Of elga. when called, and prevented d,elay when the monarch and his companions appeared for their Journey. The log, bad become an ally. Those, who sit upon England's ihroue -may never show surprise -so runs tradition—but o n s this night an expression of astonishment burst from one of her sovereigns as he entered the yawning portal of the strange machine, Up to that moment neither he nor his companions had entertained a belief that the ^American engine of destruction could be other than some powerful, speedy, and invincible sub- 'marine. Now in the cloak of fog and darkness, within sound of the roar of traffic past his palace gates, in the midst of his own garden, he found a formidable monster with undreamedof might. With his companions he was ushered through a shadowy companionway without hearing the stealthy closing of the port through which he came. Nor was he aware as he entered the brilliantly lighted drawing, room amidships, that already he had been lifted into the light of stars and was flying through space over the Atlantic ocean at a speed of 600 miles an hour. It was inoomprehenaible that before his first questions had been answered the ribbon of the channel had been passed and Ireland had lost itself in the eastern horizon. Gravely interested and steadily courteous, he inspected the radioplane under the guidance of the inventor and his daughter, who made known to him its capabilities, and it was his own suggestion that the trip might be extended to the Chesapeake, where the fleet of the Lion was moored. For once the first lord of the admiralty showed eagerness, and was visibly pleased when Bevins said there could be no objection to the king^s desire. Between the inventor and the king, as they sped westward, there was established a friendship. Gruff and querulous "Old Bill" Roberta, democratic to the core, and respecting men only for their real worth, found in this quiet, self-contained guest one whom he could Admire. And to the monarch the scientist was the most interesting man he had ever met, considering that his past achievements had gained world-wide fame, to be capped with the surprising creation of this aerial masterpiece. From time to time he glanced at the stately American girl, who sat silently beside the prime minister. He found himself puaBled by the brooding wistfulness of her eyes and speculating as to what yearning had mirrored lt9 sadness In their depths. Not until Bevins had recounted the tale of the western battle did the king realize that on occasion the supple hands of the girl might become things of steel, and that within her was a soul of flame. She begged permission to retire before the admiral had fairly begun his story, and was not there tc hear that stern old veteran of the seas conclude with the trenchant statement: "It was not I, your majes^ ty, who won the battle that day; it was that slip of a girl who led the cohorffe of the Eagle down upon them. It was she who clasped the flag in her arms when the battle was done." The men in the room leaned forward in silence when Bevins ended. They had been carried away into the realm of imagination to picture the stirring clash of mighty arms and valorous deeds. Before anyone could speak an officer appeared at the door. "I have to report that we are above the Chesapeake, sir," he said to his superior. It was the breaking of reverie, the sharp call from the past to the present, and the king rose expectantly The lights of the Roberts flashed out and left them in darkness. The port! below opened, and they grouped them selves round them, with night glasses tendered by their host. (TO B E CONTINUED.) Where Water Means Life. As illustrating the scarcity of water in some parts of Australia and the high value set upon it, I would draw attention to the case of three Afghans who were murdered in West Australia. Water was scarce, and yet these three orientals washed themselves in a road-hole—the sole source of supply— adjoining a selector's homestead. In a fury he shot the three of them, and at his subsequent trial the .jury unanimously acquitted him.—The Wide World Magazine.

The beautiful young lady stood a t the mouth of the cave in the mountain and addressed the rugged and long-haired hermit. "So you are a real, live hermit! I have never seen a real hermit before, although I have read all about you many times. I suppose you had a very sad love affair In your youth and the loss of your beautiful sweetheart drove you to this wilderness to live alone. Was she so very beautiful? You have tomato cans filled with money hid In the ground, haven't you?" "Not at all, not at all." Interrupted the hermit. "I have no money buried —it is all in four per cent, government bonds. My first love affair was altogether too successful, and that's t h e real reason I'm here. You didn't see a square-built, red-headed woman on the trail looking for a husband, did you?

T O T A L LOSS OF HAIR Seemed imminent—Scalp Was Very Scaly and Hair Came Out by HandfuIs— Scalp Now Clear and New Hair Grown by Cuticura. "About two years ago I was troubled with my head being scaly. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and I was out of the hospital possibly two months when I first noticed the loss of hair, my scalp being still scaly. I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. I was afraid to comb It. But after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and nearly a box of Cuticura Ointment, the change was surprising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas I had my mind made up to be bald. W. F. Steese, 5812 Broad St., Pittsburg, Penn., May 7 and 21, 1908."

BOOTH ON EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY STARTS NEW PLAN Veteran Founder of Salvation Army Launches Scbemt for "University of Humanity" lit the United-States-All the World Celebrates Anniversary of His Birth. New York.—Gen, \$lllam Kooth, founder and commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, -celebrated his eightieth birthday on Saturday. April 10, an* the event was made the occasion ol rejoicing all over the civilized •^orld. The Army itself held big meetings in every, city and town where it Is established, and these were participated tn by hundreds of thousands of other citizens who were glad to do honor to the distinguished phllantropist (Jen. Booth himself presided over several monster mass meetings in London. Hia advanced age and tho fact that he was operated on recently for rataract did not deter him from taking part in the celebrations held by his devoted Boldiers. University of Humanity Launched. ID America the day wa.-3 marked -especially by the launching of another of Gen. IJooth'a original schemes for Social reform in the United States At every post of the army was announced the beginning of work to found ft University of Humanity, a great institute for the training of workers in social service. Tho university will be divided between New York and Chicago, and it is expected to begin with a fund of $1,000,000. The gathering of this fund fa the work that the army now enters upon in commemoration of its famous leader's complelion of- his eightieth year. A s a niucu-needed stone in the «re:if hrganiza;tTonal structure that William l^oolh nils been building during the past 47 years, this idea of a school Coir the systematic training of his workers has been In his mind for sevor* l .years. On his last visit to the Halted States the general made his ftfst tentative announcement of the l»lan. Since (hen he hns worked out many of the details and he has Just consented to the beginning of preliminary work in. this country where the need for trained workers has been especially great. No other religious organizalion in the world's history has branched out into so many departments of philanihopic effort and ahsnrhed them ns part of Us religious duties. Need of Trained Workers. The scheme for a l"niver.-.i'.y oT Hu- -njajifty grew naiuraliy out. of the development of the 20 other departments. With a Held as wide a.s the world itself the work of the Salvation Army is only limited by the number <of workers that can be secured and Its effectiveness, by the understanding And earnestness of these workers. As uplift work has grown from local efforts to help a few into a great Inclusive movement which must miss none, the problems of organisation have grown greater. Charity has become a science and Its application an art requiring the highest development of personal qualities of insight and altruism. There is thus pressing need for workers of quite exceptional qualification. These qualifications must first of all be Inherent and must then be developed by experience and special training. This is the new work planned by Gen. Booth. Thoso women, for Instanco, who are to go among the slums of the big cities must not only have the desire to help but must know how real helpfulness can best be secured. They must understand by a study of practical sociology something of the social forceB that create this poverty and crime and wretchedness. They must understand the danger of the unwise charity that merely increases dependence and understand the value of better living conditions in raising the moral couteige of those to whom fate has been unkind. They must be able not only to correct home conditions themselves but to impart their knowledge and to inspire with a desire for betterment. Value of the Organization. This will be hut a small part of the university's training in social service aa planned by the patriarchal evangelist, but It serves to show of what value such an organization will be. Of the general's plan for the university he himself said recently: "1 want to train men and women to tteal with misfortune. 1 want them instructed to combat with the weaknesses and Rins of the drunkard, the criminal, the pauper and the would-be suicide." At 80 years of age the head of the Salvation Army, after more than half a century of almost unceasing activity. is as vigorous and untiring as at any lime in his career. The inexhaustiblo vitality and intellectual and physical [ activity of this social reformer, philan- j thvnpist. preacher, author and traveler are marvelous. At fourscore he is traveling many thousands of miles over the world every year, controlling trie destinies of his more than 7,000 ; ronis of Salvation soldiery with their 18,000 commissioned officers, distributed among every civilized country, preaching constantly to vast audiences and doing an amount of Mtetarjr wdrk that would "toe"* faetcr to majMP-ra professional author with DO otter occupation. WtHlam-Booth waa born on April 10, 1829, in Nottingham, England, and was trained for ttwr Methodist ministry which he entered and became one of the strongest evangelistic forces in that ohuteh. He grew dtoaatisned, however, at reaching only those with some ittligiuus training and conviction. He tell that t h e n wove 'thousands whose seed waa tar greater and ho- gravitated to the East end of Loodon where wretchedness ol all kinds was tho rule. In a disused burial ground ou Mile End road he pitched an old tent and the first Salvationist mooting waa held In that tent In 1861. The fiery eloquence ol the earnest young preacher caught the attention of a crowd or poor WhitecU*p«l*ri **<* b** fore that first meeting was over he had made several conversions,, a performance that he has been repeating throughout the world for 47 year*. , This first meeting resulted in th/s formation of the Christian mission, from which it waa the evangelist's custom to uend^hls converts to the existing churches of the locality, but finding that they were not walcomeU and were 4a danger of slipping bacji from sheer want of comradeship and oversight, be set about forming societies «f the converted. These be found to he a potent agency for bring lug ha more, as the heedless East ender could be Impressed by tho words of a former "pal" when he would not listen to a minister. So waa created the central Idea of the Salvation Army. The need of organization becomes apparent, but several methods were tried with little success before Gen. Booth hit upon the military Idea and named his organisation the Salvation Army. From that time on the movement grew amazingly and it has continued to grow without ceasing to this day. Spread Over the Werld. The movement began spreading to other countries of the world in 1881 when it first readied the United States through the influence of a silkweaver who" had emigrated from Coventry, England, bringing with him the Salvation Army idea and a strong desire to continue in the work. It reached Australia in the same year through a milk dealer from Stepney, and soon afterwards the first Canadian corps was organized in a similar fashion. Five years later, in 1886, the general made the first of many visits to the American branches of the army and he has seen them grow from a few small corps into a veritable army of tremendous influence and unsurpassed efficiency. His first great world-tour was made in 1891, when he visited South Africa, Australia and India. Since then he has visited the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India four times, South Africa twice and Japan and the Holy Land each once. During all these travels the actual executive responsibility for the government of the army has never been lifted from his shoulders. Even on shipboard he is an indefatigable work er, planning and writing through the days.*' Gen. Booth Honored. One of the most remarkable of the many tributes paid to the general by the great of the worM was that of the mikado of Japan during the visit to that country. The mikado personally received the general wlth/"great warmth and he was accorded [remarkable ovations In Yokohama, Tokyo, Sendai and Kyoto, a circumstance of strange import when It is realized that Japan is not a Christian country. Another interesting distinction given Gen. Booth was tho conferring on him of the degree of doctor of civil law by Oxford university. The significance of this honor will he better understood when it is stated those who received university honors with him at the time were Prince Arthur of Connaught, the prime minister of England, the lord chancellor, the speaker, Sir E. Grey, the archbishop of Armagh, Sir Evelyn Wood, the American ambassador, Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. As a writer Gen. Booth is remarkable, both as a stylist, as a thinker and as a producer. He lias written in all 21 volumes, besides innumerable articles for the army publications. His best-known book is "In Darkest England and the Way Out," In which he outlined his scheme for social reform by means of colonization. "The Training of Children," "Love, Marriage and the Home." and his books on reform are among the others of the general's best-known literary productions. Of hrs creed the general has written very beautifully. He says: 'The simplicity of our creed has been, as I believe it will remain, one of the principal helps to our unity. We stnnd for the old truths. The faith which enn be Interpreted In terms of duty, of unselfishness, of purity, of love to God and man. is the only faith we really care about.

Felder took two dogs and a sleigh provisioned for 30 days. Traveling on snowshoes, he set otit November 18, about sir weeks before the beginning of the Alaska winter. He made hiB own trail, and built his own bridges, sometimes making but three miles a day. His best day's work was 30 miles. He reached Seward January 24, having been 66 days on the way. His provisions had given out some days before and he had to kill his dogs for food. Near Seward Felder ran across three grizzled miners who had plenty of moose meat along, and he lost no time in changing to a better diet. ONLY ONE BATH IN HIS LIFE. Statement of Michigan Man Shocks and Startles His Fellow Church Members. Lansing, Mich.—William Peterson, a miller of this city, shocked and startled the cultured members of a class in applied Christianity in a meeting in the First Universalist church by interrupting a speaker on "home sanitation" to remark that it was balderdash, that he had never taken but one bath in his life, and that was when ho had the itch. Peterson is about 5,7 years old. A representative of the state hoard of health was reading a paper when Peterson nearly broke up the session by hia remark. "My folks lived in three rooms in the old country," said Peterson, "and lived on rye bread and beer. A friend of mine asked me to take a bath not long ago in a 'rlgamole' they had put in a church, but I told him that I had never taken but one bath in my life and that was when I had the Itch. He said it would put the blood in circulation and make me feel fine. Well, I have a better scheme than that for putting the blood In circulation." Here Peterson gave his audience a practical demonstration In his gymnastics. The next speaker changed tho subject to • the ventilation of schoolrooms. Where the Women Propose.

But nature strikes a balance, for it is utterly impossible for him to sleep when he is lyin? in bed. Not even the pleasure of a home-made goulash can arouse him unless it is served in bed, and be has had to give up his favorite noodle soup; because when a man is flat on his back he can't eat soup except with a straw. The last time Paul.tried to eat at the table it was for his loved noodles. He took the precaution to set the alarm clock so it would go off just as the meal was placed before him. But it was uo use. He dozed off again as he was swallowing a delicately drowned noodle itt the shape of the letter "S." His wife shut Off the alarm, Bafd: "I ought to have known 'S' meant sleep," and got Paul to bed. He awoke with a start and moaned that be had had a terrible nightmare. "What was it?'* asked his wife anxiously, i "I dreamed I was In a delicatessen shop, with my hands tied, starving to death," he wailed. Since then he has given up all attempts at pleasures of the table and sets his alarm every morning when he pets up, so that he will wake up in time to go to bed. But eating is only one of the sleeper s problems. He has had to give up his job in the rubber works, where he put soles on sandals.

After a few days he got so that he went to sleep the instant that he jumped up, and the proprietor of the store found him standing in the window snoring at the crowd outside instead of smiling at, them, as demonstrators always do when about 1o demonstrate. His neighbors say his trouble began with the opera. Mrs. Zabach is fond of music and once persuaded her husband to take her to hear "Parsifal," though that doesn't prove she is fond of music. This curious case was brought to the attention of the doctors and police of Passaic by the mishap that befell Paul the other day when he tried bicycle riding as a stimulant. Leaving his home In Passaic he wheeled northwest, straight toward the region where Rip Van Winkle slept for 20 years, dozing as he pedaled. But. Haverstraw was too much for him. He went soundly to sleep there and fell off his wheel. He didn't wake up, for nobody can lie perfectly level in Haverstraw on account of the hills. The policeman of that town found him sleeping in the road and sent word to the Passaic police, who had been informed of Paul's disappearance by his wife. She went to Haverstraw and brought him home.
