HP116 Ähited Qepulchre X The VV Tale of O Pelee

CHAPTER VIII. (Continued.) Ilere was another issue of Nemesis, the curse of another life through his coming back from the edge of the water. In the crush of self-hate, he smiled at the woman. Until a D'ouient ago the wrecking work of the nvrning had put thoughts of Soronia from his mind. He had come to the shop partly to marshal his final resources In an out-of-the-way apot and arrange the last line of action, a.td. partly to avoid the possibility of arreit for the moment in case the Panther ha J brought an emissary of the law. His end was a matter of hours at best ; his Cruising and his friendship with Constable were over. Saint Pierre, of the lesser islands, was the last station of his traveling. During three days he had passed many hours in the shop. What those hours had aecomplia'aetl was dramatically meaJ now in the anguish of themaiden as she waited for the answer to her Question. "I have been thinking a great deal since yesterday. I found that I couldn't do what I tried at least, without seeing you again, Sonoria." Breen poke vaguely. He had rufficient honesty not to be deft with the forces he was now employing. "The future, I cannot tell yet. I may have to leave Saint Tierre for awhile, but I shall leave my heart here, and if I live I will come back ! To-day I must see my friend and tell him that I cannot cruise farther south with him." She would have fallen had he not held her, but her eyes were shining. The old man ran for restoratives. Breen would Lave put the girl into a ciair, but she clung to hinx. 44 1 have waited for you so long, my maker of pictures," she whispered. Tere Babeaut stood beside them with medicines. The veneer of shop servitude was gone from the gray old. face. The . sharp black eyes were directed steadily . upon the stranger, who saw tha: they were ready to soften or burst into flame. Breen saw, too, that he was less In the presence of the father of a creole girl of Martinique than the father of an oldworld householJ. I.am waiting for you to speak, tnonfeur, said Pere Rabeaut. You have not waited long, sir," Breen answered. "It was just an instant ago that I had the honor of hearing from jour daughter's lips that she would wait for me until I could come back permanently to Saint Pierre." I know you will forgive aa old soldier of France. So many people do not understand don't try to understand that I deemed it a privilege to marry the mother of the maid in your arms not because a governor general of Martinique waa her father but because she was worthy the worship of an old soldier of France. The girl is like her mother, monsieur. It is an honor I do not deserve,sir the daughter of a country woman of Josephine and a soldier of France," said Breen, grateful that one of his utterances contained or covered no lie. The bow from the veteran was a gracious thing.. He held a glass to the lips of his daughter. "I do not need It now, father," Sonnia aid softly. There was a knock at tie door. The maid hastened to her room, and Pre Rabeaut, once more the master of the hop, greeted a gasping patron. Breen wu left to his thought. That which he had done was unchangeable. "Nicholas Stembridge, rejoice! this is your wedding day !" he muttered. "What a time you've had down the years! You have lived long and freely, taking what you "saw and daring consequences and prattling like a defective to keep up your pirita! Nick, do you 'recall the prime sentence of your philosophy There i3 nothing which Doctor Death cannot care'? Isn't it a wonderful saying? So wonderful that It has exceptions! No, Death will not put Peter and his lady out to sea! The police are after you; your lips are hot with lies; you sit In the gloom. Nick Stembridge, you are whipped, cornered. You go out a coward and a liar. Where is your laugh of yesterday?" And yet he smiled at the perfection of the pride-humbling trap the Fates had laid for him this day ; smiled at the words he had uttered to Soronia and her father, who had bristled into a soldier of France. And yet there had been no other way. After what he had done to Constable, it was not in hm to deprive Soronia of what she seemed to need not under her pitiful eyes! His own part did not enter. He conjured no golden haze as the mate of this creature of ardor, fragrance, and centlenesa. Nor, on the other extreme, did he reflect that to spend one's days In a torrid shop with a woman of black blood was a fitting end for a brutalized life. He put the woman out of his mind, and turned to the sorry business of the wounded friend. He must find Constable and say the last words; then take the blame from his friend in the presence of the r;omen. If he were taken into custody on the way there was no help for that. All remnants of justice and whitemansbip demanded that he set out at once. He äurried to the court. "Soronia," he called, "I'll have to go cow. Mr. Constable expects to leave with his ship to-day, and I must talk with him before he goes." She appeared in the dress In which he bad first Been her. There were tender remonstrances which he scarcely heard, but he answered gently. His mind was with the man. "And you will be back this afternoon?' s In the hollow of the universe there seemed no reason that he could utter why he should not be back that afternoon. "Yes, little fairy," he answered. "And I shall watch from the upper window, if the smoke clears, for your friend'aship to sail. Ah, uon't stay long from me!" The sun could cot shine through the ash fog which shut out the harbor distances and shrouded the great cone, but volumes of dreadful heat found the earth. , Though the Madame lay well in the harbor, she was invisible now, even from the terraces. There va no line dividing the shore from the pea, cor the sea from the sky. It was all an illimitable mask, whose fabric wa3 the Inst which had lain for centuries upon Pelee's dynamos. Thore was no carriage for hin . TL day Lad driven the publi-.: drivers to cover. Brecn '.Talked to tha plantation hou-se. The servant was long in answering bis ring. Mr. Wall was ia the hallway. The fall from guest to aa enemy of the house pulled hard upon Breen's philosophy. "Come In, sir," said Uncle "Joey. His tone was repressed a? he added: "Had I known your address, I should have sent your efftcM to you." I "I wasL:t thinking about that, but looking for Mr. Constable," Breen declared. "You an.- Nicholas Stembridge?" "Yes." The eld?r man stared at Lira savagely. Don't you think you have done enough damrge?" "More than enough, Mr. Wall; but there remainr, from my point of view, an unfinished sentence." "lie is Dot here." "Then I need trouble you no further." Breen hr.d not the Leart that instant to ask to f.ee the ladies. At the pier he learned from Ernst, who had charge of )ie launch, that Mr. Constable not

aboard the ship, and had given up the ijea of sailing for the day, apparently. At the Boxelane, Breen found that Constable had made his way beyond toward the River Blanch, which had flowed black and boiling yesterday. At the Hotel des Palms there was definite word of M. Constable, American. The proprietor bore witness that the gentleman had stopped at the establishment long enough to procure food, mules and guides the last at great cost, since the natives were in dead-" ly fear for a trip to the craters of Pelee. CHAPTER IX. The morning which broke through the defenses of Breen, and crumpled the dearest purpose of Constable, also drew Miss Stanshury into the vortex of Intense emotions. Whatever dominant traits and impulses she had inherited from her mother, it had been her self-training to repress. Ample opportunity had been afforded her to note in hr mother the career of an indomitable mistress of affairs. The result of her observations was a positive distaste for stiffness of views in any sphere, and a conviction that the display of masterfulness in woman did not make for woman's happiness. As a girl, it had not occurred to Lara to exert an authority counter to her mother's. When she became a young woman she carefully avoided any extremity which might lead to . the breaking of either her own or the more visible will of the house. Now, in the midst of painful developments, it was borne home to Lara that she had progressed too far, in the way of amiability ; that she had unconsciousfy outstripped her intention, and passed into the boundaries of self-effacement. In the crisis of the newspaper revelations, she had followed her mother's initiative without question. The creature of indecisions that she had become grew more and more odious to her as the forenoon passed, and in her contrition she realized that the man whose first wish was to spare her from harm had been repaid with a lack of courtesy and a greater lack of courage. Nothing that she had said or done, it seemed to her now, carried the stamina of decision. She had implored him not to speak ; she had run from him, like a frightened child to her mother, when he had told his love and begged her to seek safety aboard his ship. In none of he dealings had she shown the strong "oraanhood which marked her ideals; and in singular contrast stood out his graciousness and patience. The thousand little things in which she had subserved her own inclinations to the -maternal will had dulled the delicate point of personality, without which a man cannot stand valiantly through the crux of harsh days. It was all plain now, so hideously plain. The chief of the acts she regretted had to do with the morning itself. What manner of "friendship" was this which accepted as authoritative the testimony of a newspaper's suspicions? She had done more than this, in handing Constable the document that witnessed against him, and shutting the door upon his .possible defense. There was an added poignancy in the knowledge that her mother would not have thus used one of her favorites. Her distaste for the American caused Mrs. Stansbury so readily to accept newspaper evidence as a triumph of her judgment. As if such thoughts of wretchedness were not sufficient to start tears of vexation, Lara's mind finally added to the inventory of its miseries by reverting to her conversation with Constable in the carriage on the day of his arrival. How she had berated the essayist for declar ing that the stuff of friendship stirred not womankind! How vigorously he had agreed with her! She sought her own room when the tumult mounted to the point of tears. Presently she went to the door and locked it, for the inevitable thought had come. What did the name of Peter Constable mean to her? She had felt his strength. Long ago she had dreamed of such strength and put the dream away. Whether or not he was to be the conqueror, she knew that mastery like his could rouse her heart. She was evading the substance of the questiou. Before the mirror she frowned severely at the Lara there. "Tell me this," said the woman, "dj I want him to go away?" "No, no!" said te image. "No," repeated the woman; "not if he be innocent." The image scowled atier conservatism. "You deserve to suffer. You sent him away without a tithe of your trust, without a morsel of your mercy." Standing ia the upper hallway, she heard what passed between Breen and the planter at the front door. Why did not Uncle Joey demand extenuating circumstances? She was sure that Breen would have dropped some hint, at least, of Constable's part in the mysterious alliance, had it not been for the barbed iron of the other's words. Lara's palms achel from the pressure of her nails. She did not go downstairs to luncheon, but often crossed the hall, entering Constable's room to look at the mountain and cityward along the smoky highway. In one of these watches she saw the little black carriage of Father Damien approaching. He would have driven by, but she ran below and called to him from the veranda : "Come in and rest a minute, father. Is there any good to tell?" "Very little, Lara. The gray corse is on Saint Pierre, indeed. I have grown afraid for my people, and am warning them to seek refuge In Fort de France. Your guest suggested this step, and has helped nobly with money to care for the people fleeing to the capital." She drew from him an account of his meeting with Constable onWbe highway in the morning. He told her, too, how the young man had sent sick native mothers and their children out to the ship for refuge from the heat and sulphur fumes, and of the large sums of money he had volunteered for the care of the favored few who fled to Fort de France. Lara of-nt her. head forward toward the priest. "And what do you think of this man, father?" she questioned sudden!. The old man's mild gaze foil b.lore t lie glowing eyes of the girl. "I did not think when I first met him that ho was gifted with such zeal," he answered weakly. "Where is he now. Father lUmicni" "That I cannot tell, dear. We liive not seen him since morning. Sora say that he has gone to Morue Rouse; others that h" has ascended to the craters of Pelee." She sprang up, but repressed he exc'anifitiou upon her lips. Her mother had watered. "Good morning. Father Damian," Mrs. Stanshury said pleasantly. "Is Lara re; hoarding private theatricals for you?" The priest made haste to depart, saying that he was on the waj to Fort de France with the money Constable had given, to make the refugees there a? comfortable as possible. The ladies followed him to the door. It happened that the old man faced Lara as he said: "I bore c may be a false rumor that your friend fias sought the craters of Pelee. Bitch services as his we cannot afford to do without. There is power In the man " MI think I have felt it, father," the girl answered quietly.

"What does this mean, this talk of 'friend' In connection with the confrere of a thief?' Mrs. Stansbury asked. "I did not quibble in the use of the word " "Do you count as a friend one who would try to put you aboard a ship which bear the reputation of the Madame do Stael? one who would bring to our house the notorious Nicholas Stembridge?" "You were also invited to go, remember." "My dear child, you are overwrought. I cannot believe that you are appealed tc by this sudden interest of his in your welfare; nor that you dreamed of accepting terms that would have frightened our Domremy aint who braved wars." "I do not like your talk of terms, mother. There were no terras. Mr. Constable asked me to board his ship, that I might be safe. His care for my welfare Is not important in this talk." "Do you think you would be safe to gc with him?" "Safe as the sea safe as the black women and their babies now crowded up on the terrible de Stael! I do not car to talk further. You have followed yout inclinations regarding Mr. Constable, and until now I have allowed your inclination; to be mine. I am guilty as you are on outraging the sensibilities of a man whf deserves at least the consideration of a gentlewoman. I shall learn the trutr about'these reports, and if they are a false in substance as I believe, I shal make up for my incivilities." Mrs. Stansbury felt that here was f resistance no less formidable than sudden It must be c-ushed, of course, but tht present moment was not propitious. Sh laughed gently. (To be continued.)

J THE TRUE WASHINGTON.

Unless th reader knows more about the "Father of Iiis Country" than school books ever taught him, he will not be prepared to hear that George Washington, one Cay when lie was some sixty oLl years old, laughed so heartily at something that happened at Mount Vernon that he rolled on the ground. In Everybody's Magazine Owen Wlster brings before bis readers the real Washington, the man whom the starving, ragged Continental soldiers Idolized; and so one comes to know the wealthy store of human facts about - Washington. Hero-worship Is not alone responsible for placing Washington in too unearthly a light. He himself, through endurance of adversity and surmounting It, came to have a presence so majestic, and so generally held his stormy passions In firm control, that these were forgotten by his biographers, who gave us. In consequence, a statue Instead of a man. To this impression another has materially contributed, his portrait by Stuart, so well known to all of us. In our national Imagination Washington stands Stiff, in 6omber dress, almost forbidding In countenance, looking as If even smiles were unknown to him. Of course he could look so on occasions, but who of us was ever taught what he said about being painted? "At first I was as restive under the operation as a colt Is of the saddle. The next time I submitted very reluctantly, but with less flouncing. Now no dray-horse moves more readily to his thills than I to the painter's chair." Do not these words, with their sense of amusemeut at himself, shed a warming light over the cold Image that has stood so long in our minds? There were moments In battle, and other moments as well, when he acted with a promptness that must have been appalling. He came one day during the Cambridge winter rjion the beginning of a fight between some soldiers newly arrived from Virginia and sonu Yankee troops. The New Englanders had made fun of the Southerners' costume, and although harmless snowballing was all they at first Indulged In they had got further when Washington rode uion the scene. Such a fight was full of danger to our cause, as jealousy between North and South was bitter. The commander-in-chief sprang Instantly from his horse, seized two soldiers by their throats, and shook them together until, when he had finished, everybody tlse had taken a prudent departure r.nd the stage was vacant. Yet this fierce spirit was at times overcome by tenderness. At the Battle of Long Island, when he saw the slaughter of Americans leginning, he wrung his hands and cried aloud, "Good God, what brave fellows I must this day lose!" Upon another occasion when other soldiers were being bayoneted near New Y'ork, and he was powerless to help It, he is said tu have wept like a child. Spoiled Their AValtslnff. In her memoirs Mme. de Bo'gne gives some interesting glimpses of English social life. For Instance, she writes : "In 1310 no young English lady ventured to waltz. The Duke of Devonshirt returned from a tour In Germany and observed one evening at a large ball that a woman was never seen to better advantage than when waltzing. I do not know whether he was anxious to play a trick, but he repeated this assertion several times. It was passed from mouth to mouth, and at the next ball all the young ladles were waltzing. The duke admired them greatly, said that It was delightful and gave proper animation to .1 ball. He then added carelessly that he, at any rate, had decided never to marry a lady wh'J waltzed. It was to the Duchess of Itlchmond and at Carlton House that he saw tit to make this revelation. The poor duchess, the most clumsy of matchmaking mammas, nearly fell otT her chair with horror. She repeated the statement to her neighbors, who passed it on, and consternation spiead from Peat to seat. The young ladles continued to waltz with clear consciences. The old ladles were furious, but the unfortunate dance was ooncrRded. Before the end of the evening the good Duchess of IHchinom was able to announce that her daugh. tors felt an objection to -valuing whi h no persuasion of hers coi.M ever overcome. Som;; few girls of more Independence continued to waltz, but the majority gave It up." .ItiiildliiB Note In 1U23.

Charm I ad Stimmer Hat. One of the prettiest hats seen this season was worn at a recent outdoor wedding. It was white, soft, lacey straw, the wide brim turned up in a most fascinating manner at left s 1 d e and edged with a narrowband of hydrangea blue velvet ribbon. The top was a mass of hydrangeas in delicate shades and a large bunch of satin ribbon loops matching the velvet band was artistUally fastened at back. rrea Economy. Do not indulge In striking novelties or cheap finery. Buy little; but have it good of Its kind. Above all, study becomingness, for that is, after all. the secret of appearing well dressed. Do not be too keen on bargains. The best Is generally the cheapest in the end; so unless you are sure of your judgment as to qualities shun sales. On the other hand, do not be needlessly extravagant; the prudent buyer Is she who can supply her needs at least cost, and get good values. Study lines and cuts, have your clothes made by the best dressmaker your means will afford, and see that PRACTICAL her sewing is the kind that does not fall to pieces after a weurlng or two. Keep everything well brushed scrupulously neat, carefully pressed, and without frayed ends, and the little you have will not only last longer, but will look better while it lasts. Work of a Dnnneae Dad. Instead of a coming-out party as we know It, the Burmese girl's entrance Into society begins when she has her ears pierced. As soon after this as she feels inclined she selects a husband u:d goes to live in a home of her own. The home is provided by the man, but It becomes his wife's as soon as they are married. All women, young and old, are addicted to the use of tobacco. The women seem to prefer the very largesize black cigars. Often one meets a woman on the streets of a village with one of these huge cigars In her mouth and two or three more stuck In the holes of each ear. Boy Sommer Salt. Boyish and smart is a trig little suit f white and red striped linen, made with bloomers aud Russian blouse. The later differs somewhat from the general run of blouses in that the one side of the plain white linen collar continues in lapel fashion to end of hem. The little shields are done In blue and the belt U white patent leather. I ii peil I ve fteneronlty. An absent-minded woman traveling in Mexico borrowed Z0 cents of the Pullman port r to buy a Mexican orchid at the car door. Later, on arriving at Mexico City, as the same porter was brushing her coat, she said with empbjisis: "Thank you, porter. Ami. oh, porter, you may keep the ."0 cents 1 iMirrowM of you this morning for a tip." Du tcli Treat l'ieiilc.

The unhappiest, most restless women in this land are the idle wives and daughters of the rich. It is true they have fine houses, carriages and automobiles, fine dresses, magnificent jewels, stately calls upon one auother, grand dinners, brilliant receptions, and all that. But it is all a veneer.. It Is merely a mahogany finish upon a base of ordinary, common timber. It is not happiness, but only a pretense of it an extravagant attempt at imitation of it. The great mass of women without wealth, who work in their homes, rear their, children themselves, cook the meals, mend the clothing and do the thousand and one tmending tasks of the busy housewife, need not envy the glistening butterflies of fashion. The happiest women In the world are the hard-working ones. Not overtaxed drudges, whose lives are necessarily miserable, but tho women whose time and minds and hands are ever occupied In making the home happier and life for those about them sweeter. To put a fine dress on a girl accustomed to nothing else since birth is to give no more real enjoyment to her lhan would he given to a doll by the TUB FROCKS. same process. But the pretty dress Iwught by a girl with her own earn ings means a triumph and a joy as sweet as the human heart can know That dress is a part of the girl herself, It stands for her heart, her brain, her lone, her blood. It makes an epoch in her life. It Is the happy culmination of happy usefulness. None who olesrve, even casually, can fall to perceive the growing restlessness among the women of the great cities, The enormous increase in divorces Is but one symptom. The woman who appreciates her possible Influence In the home will never fail to find plenty to do, and find joy in doing it. It Is from the home that she makes that most men husbands as well as sons form their Ideals of life and fix their aspirations. If she is idle, restless and discontented, the home, instead of being a solid corner-stone of society. Incomes a heap of sand, that sinks under every weight of trouble, aud shifts with every tide of passion and caprice. There i3 one great cure for the restlessness and discontent of women. It is in common sense application of mind and hand and heart to useful work Some women may be happy. In spite of wealth. But it is possible for any woman to be equally happy without it. I 11 r uly 'Icrnnvn. Sometimes the simplest little aids wTl make a marked difference in a woman's apiearaiKe. For instance, one whoso hair is , uuiuaikigeable will find that by applying h mixture of one teaspoonful of glycerin to live times as much water to loose ends of tresses these short strands stay neatly In place, says the New York Evening Telegram. In putting on the mixture it should be well shaken and then applied to the hair with a soft brush just before the dressing. The eoift ure Is then done, up ?n the usual way, aud the hair should lie iu place without having a sticky or oily look. When short hairs are obstinate the best method of training is to put them on curlers. Afterwards they should be coiuled out until soft and fluffy. If oft curlers are used they may be scented with ini-fume, so that they will Impart to the hair a delicate fragrance nfter a contact of hours. There may Ixi a few drops of any iorfume iuit into the glycerin and water solution, but the greatest care should be taken not to have the effect stroug. Oranao Itaiket for Irrrl. Nothing is prettier than" jelly or ices served in orange baskets or halved oranges with the two sides tied together with ribbon. One way to prepare these baskets Is to draw a circle u round the orange, cutting through save for an Inch right in the middle of each side for a handle. Cut away the skin along each side of this handle and carefully remove the pulp of the orange from the spaces left. Throw the rinds into ice water so they will not dry out before using.

IfnnKt,P!oture Easily. The comic artists who delight In drawing the "henpecked" husband, who endeavors to hang properly a picture from the top of a rickety stepladder, will soon have to abandon the subject, as an Alabama man has designed an attachment whereby the picture can be readily adjusted from the floor. The adjusts the conn. hanger is fastened to the back of the picture frame, one end of the cord being connected with a revolving drum. The cord is shortened or lengthened by turning a handle on the drum. The picture can usually be readily reached from the floor, the Iruin is easily accessible and can lc operated to place th picture in the exact ffpot desireü This eliminates the nuisance of removing the picture from the wall and retying the cord several times before the right length is finally determined. are of Flowern, Flowers, which to the Japanese mind suggest everything that is poetical and beautiful, should never be massed in reckless profusion and confusion. If we would only try to follow a few of their ideals iu this respect, we would find it possible to have flowers in our rooms at almost every neason of the year. There is hardly a. household and certainly very few women who could not manage to save a little to purchase a few blossoms at the end of the week, which, if carefully looked after and given their daily bath of fresh water, and nightly placed where a current of fresh air can reach them, will last an astonishing number of days. One or two carnations of the many beautiful varieties which are now in the market, if placed in a vase which shows their long, graceful stems and pale silver green foliage to advantage, make not only a delightful bit of color in the room, but their crisp and refreshing odor Is agreeable to both guest and hostess, and the little touch of refine mcnt given by these few flowers makes tha atmosphere of the house distinctly different. A Simple Saraiurr Gonn. A great many charming gowns are to be noted made for the later season that are absolutely simple- in style yet rblc and smart In the extreme. Here is one that makes an excellent example and which as Illustrated is made of the fa vorite pink In mercerized poplinctto with trimming of black and white stripes while it Is worn over a gulnipe of very simple lace net. The striped linen on the pink makes an exceeding ly attractive trimming and the gown Is altogether a charming one," while It rep resents very little labor. The skirt is straight, laid -in plaits over the hips that are stitched flat to do away with all bulk, and the over blouse is made without seams, the plaits being laid over the shoulders while it is attached to the girdle at front and back. The güimpe In this instance is one of the new ones with long mousquetalre sleeves, but any one that may be liked can be utilized, or several can be pro vided with the one costume, so making change of effect. Linen as well as poplinette and also the many silk and wool materials, that are being so much worn this summer, are appropriate while bor de red materials suit the design peeu Iiarly well, as the skirt is straight, finished only with a hem at the lower edge. For the medium size will be required, for the over blouse 1 yard of material 21 or 24, .".2 or 41 inches wide; for the skirt 8 yards 21, C.vj yards 32 r 5 yards 41 Inches wide with yards of material 27 inches wide to trim both.

But It is a fact that you can only get a gnat deal out of them by givii.g them a great deal of yourself.

Government secret service officers are skeptical. Fitzgcrnld's friend nri WM. BOI.DFXWECK. vehement in their declarations of blief of his innocence. He is out of prison on $10,000 ball. Fitzgerald was assorting teller in the sub-treasury, and it was from his cage that $173,000 in currency 'was -stolen eighteen months ago. Shortly afterwards he lost his place. In the meantime he has been a successful insurance solicitor. He has speculated In eggs. He bought an $S,500 house on which he gave $3,000 mortgage. A commission man claims he was offered $000 to pass n $1,000 bill. Fitzgerald is alleged to have said that he had a large bundle of such bills. So far as known none of the witnesses for the State has seen even one of them. Boldenweck has a $173,000 Interest in the case. He appealed to Congress last winter to relieve him of responsibility for the loss, but no action was taken. As matters stand, Boldenweck and his bondsmen are responsible to the government for ?173,0C0. Secret n of Wright Aeroplaae. Orville Wright, one of the brother inventors of tie successful flying machine, who has taken a new model to Fort Slyer, Va., for government test, now talks freely to the public about the construe tion of the machine, as patents cover all the essential parts. The new niodol is -10 feet wide over all and 30 feet from stem to stern, standing about 8 feet high. It has one motor, made by the Wrights, which develops 25 to 30 horse power. It has no carburetor and tfie gasoline is pumped directly into the pipes, w'here the mixture is formed. No effort is made to control the speed of the motor, as it is adjusted to run at its maximum. T'12 speed of the airship is regulated by the angle of the planes, and the resistance they offer to the air. The frame is made of silk, spruce and ash. The webbing is made of unbleached muslin, and there are about 000 square feet to thv 'ifting planes. The whole machine weighs about 800 pounds without supplies, operator or passengers, and when in action has about 2 pound of Weight for every lift of a square foot of plane. This is greater than ho me birds and less than some. Insects have the greatest lifting power for their weight. The inventor says that the faster you go the less lifting surface you need. The new model is expected to make forty miles an hour. The motor weighs 170 pounds and will run at 1,400 revolutions a minute, which, with the gearing, makes the two propellers travel fJOO revolutions a minute. There is a horizontal rudder in front and a vertical op." behind. This machine has three lever.-;, although the one in France has only two. They are used to bend the planes and to turn the rudder. The start is made from a single rail, and the landing is made on skids. Wilbur Wright, continuing his flights in France, has suoreeded in making a speed of SO kilometers an hour with the wind.
