The Earliest wingmakers.

Some of these early wingmakers lived
In the shadowy days of history. Bladud, o
British king, was one, but all that we
learn of his flight is that he scared above
his city Of Trinovante and then fell upon
temple, thereby ending his wings and
himself. Bladud belonged to an unlucky
family, being the father of Shakespeare's 8
King Lear. Simon, called ''the magi-
cian," who lived about the time of the
emperor Nero, lost his life In the same
way; another martyr to the science was a
monk called Elmer Tor Oliver Of Malmes-
bury, who had foretold the invasion of
William the Conqueror, and was therefore
tsunted by cruel people when he did not
know beforehand that he would break his
legs on taking flight from tall tower.
This monk is said to have flown 1875 paces
People laughed at him all the more when
be said that he failed because be did not
fix tail to his feet, but q recent writer,
Chanute, argues that the monk was very
likely. right in bis conclusion.
A hundred years later, and more, Sar.
aoen repeated the attempt and, like poor
Oliver, was killed. Then we read of rel
ative Of the poet Dante who made suc-
cessful flight over lake and fell in trying
to repeat the feat across square in the
city of Perugia, though even upon this
second attempt he is said to have "bal-
anced himself long time in the air" and

ADELLE'S MISTAKE.

'And you have made up your mind

tie Clsrice Mallory, as she looked up
at Adele Rivers proud, beautiful

away the love of such a man.
Adele laughed softly and shook
her handsome head. you are full
Of romantic ideas, my dear. Wait un-
til you have been out three seasons

of money. Then you will not believe

there was more bitterness than mirth
in its sound.

my head
But, Adele, we ali have to make
sacrifices in the world, said Clarice,
rising and putting her arm around
Adele. 1T will only be for short
time, perhaps. George holds an hon
orable position, and it is safer to mar,
ry him than one who is q millionaire
to-day and perhaps beggar to-mor-
row. If you love him Adella think
how he must suffer. My heart aches
for him. said Clarice in a trem bling
voice and her eyes filled with tears.
oh, do 60 away, Clarice-you
make me nervous. If you keep on
in that strain we will have scene di-
rectly, and you know how l detest
scenes. l think you're half IN love
with George Emerson, Clarice, and if
you feel so sorry for him why don't
you try to catch his heart on the re-
boundT
Adelle's last sentence was uttered
sneeringly, and Clarice shrank away
from her as If she had received a blow.
oh. Adelle!' was all she said, as
she covered her burning face with her
hands.
Now, little brown eyes, don't act
silly. Come, let's 60 in the house-it
is chilly out here, and Adele led the
way out of the summer-house.
AS the girls walked across the lawn
a gentleman stepped around from the
side of the summer-house. 1t was
George Emerson. He was passing
the er-house when his attention
was attracted by the mention of his
name. Naturally enough he stood
and listened and overheard the con-
versation between Adele and Clarice

disgust was on his face as he watched

eyes wandered to Clarice Mallory, his
face underwent a change. The bitter
expression was gone, and the cold,
glittering CLEAN disappeared from the
depth of his blue eyes. Perhaps his
heart was caught on the rebound.
Who knows?

father, to his family and guests as

morning. George Emerson's uncle

Everybody was surprised Clarice
looked over at Adele who sat oppo-
site. Her face was white as death,
but she made no comment on Mr..
Emerson's good fortune.
About an hour after Clarice was
alone in the sitting room. There was
a sad, troubled expression in her
brown eyes and her dimpled chin
rested on the palm of her hand. She
was thinking of George Emerson.
If this news had only came a day
sooner Adele would have acted diff.
erently,' said Clarice, with sigh.
And [ would be a miserable man
for the remainder of my life, said a
pleasant voice behind her.
'Mr. Emerson!' cried Clarice, as she
rose in confusion. i didn't hear you
coming in
Perhaps wanted to surprise you,
said Mr.. Emerson, smiling. Are you
not going to congratulate me on my
good fortune?'
Il wish it had come yesterday said
Clarice, her eyes hidden away under
the dropping lids.
yes, that's what I heard you say g
moment ago. but I'm very glad it did.
mt. Clarice, do you want to make
me the happiest man in creation?' and
he took Clarice's hand in his.
Il wish I could, Mr.. Emerson, said
Clarice, wonderingly.
'Clarlce, | love you! Will you
share my fortune--will you be my
wifeP
Mr.. Emerson, l thought thought

You thought was in love with

'Yes,' she whispered, hiding her

Just then footstep sounded in the
hall. Somebody was coming, anc

from her lovers EN- brace and fed from

the hall she met Adele, but she hur-

home long after midnight two men ap-
preached him and, taking off their hats,
bowed low and handed him a piece of
paper with the address Of family living
some distance beyond their point Of meet

to be Poles, and neither of them could
speak word of English. The gentleman
aocossed piloted the strangers to their
street and by sign language made them
understand how far they had yet to go.
Both men were profuse in their thanks for
the attention, uttered in their own Ian
guage. All that their benefactor could do
was to bow his own Acknowledgements in
return. Judge of his surprise, however,
when the Poles grasped his hands, and, be-

meant, each had imprinted kiss on them

Tho clergyman Of one of the fashionable
New York churches some time ago told a
society woman in his congregation that he
would like her TO take part in the mission
work among the young connected with
tho church.
"But detest children" she protested.
Gan the more reason why you should
do It," was the answer.
She was finally persuaded to take class
in the sewing school. At the first meeting
the little girls gathered about her, expect
ing TO be told story or something of that
sort.
81 am not going to amuse you," was
the frank announcement that she made,
"but will try to teach you some things
that you ought to know. In the first place,
you are not clean, any Of you, and II you
come to the next meeting smelling as you
do now won't come again"
Some time after friend met the lady
and asked:
"How is your mission class getting on?"
"Famously," was the answer "Strange
to say, those children seem to be fond OF
me-"
Have you succeeded in instituting any
religion into their young mindsr'
