unpleasant vividness the record break
ing summer of 1901 has settled down
over the Eastern and New England
states, already numbering hundreds

AIRSHIP FLIES OVER PORTLAND.
Wind Too Strong for 1t to Return to
Exposition Grounds.

Portland, July 19.-Man tried again
yesterday to conquer air. It was the
same old story of partial defeat. He
must try yet again before he can slip
the metaphorical harness upon the at
mosphere and make it serve him as the
giants steam and electricity have been
brought to serve.
For nearly two hours yesterday after
noon the airship Angelus hovered over
Portland and vicinity. To the casual
observer it looked like a great bird
moving slowly across the sky with ease
and perfect control of itself. In fact
there was battle going on every Sec
ond; battle against a strong wind
which has proved the evil genius of
airship inventors since the first. Every
inch the brave vessel moved to the
southwark was an inch to the credit of
the contending elements. It is note,
worthy, however, that the Angelus
bucked the capricious air currents yes
terday with a greater degree of success
than any previous air vessel. Captain
T. S. Baldwin, of California, the in
ventor, is satisfied with yesterdays
showing. He will make some delicate
alterations and pit his vessel against
the wind at once. He has no doubt
that his boat could navigate in any
direction under favorable atmospheric
conditions. He intends to make it sail
under any conditions.
The .Angelus made the first airship
flight in Northwest history and the
first of the exposition competition. It
was witnessed by many thousands. It
started from the exposition grounds and
drove southeast bucking a strong wind
from the north. Lincoln Beechey, of
Los Angeles, went up with the ma
chino, end displayed remarkable skill
and courage in his work. After being
drifted along an irregular southwark
course for about six miles he tackled
east and made a safe landing on a dock
at Willamette river pleasure resort.
The vessel was not damaged to any
great extent and arrangements were
made for its conveyance back to the
exposition whence other test flights ere
to be made this week.

After Twenty
Years
BY AGNES LOUISE PROVOST

IRON the old Daubier house, which
+ Victor Cheyreau had rented for the
summer. the gray towers of Chateau
D'Arblay rose like a dim etching be-
yond the massed shadows of the woods.
Victor Chevreau spent much time look
ing over at the gray towers.
His neighbors, as neighbors will, had
exercised themselves to a considerable
extent to determine who and what he
was, but the result was not satisfying.
He and his son had taken the rambling
old stone house for rest and quiet after
years of constant travel, but the
try houses around them had small use
for such modest retirement. Two men,
living alone with no ONE folk but a
few servants, and with seemingly a suf-
ficiencY of worldly store, are sure to be
objects of inquiring interest, and al
ready the strong-limbed old man with
the leonine head and eyes that saw all
things had figured in a score of fear
full escapades in the fertile brains of the
community, and had been attributed 10
a b~ewildering number of nationalities.
Theon, the son, was very different.
He was young and good looking, with
no notion of being a r~ecluse, and was
soon a familiar figure in the society of
the locality. The years of travel had
made him the most interesting of cos
mopolitans, and his gentle courtesy with
women and good-humored ~frankness
with men had won him the readiest well
come.
Below the old Daubier house a yellow
road wound and wandered, and lost
itself in the deep woods through which
it must pass on its way to the town of
B. Late in the afternoon a horse
man, slim and erect, galloped along here
and disappeared in the deep shades.
"Our neighbor, M. D'Arblay," re-
marked Theon, casually. watching the
equestrian from sight. "He rides tC

The elder Chevreau made no reply
but presently he leaned forward and
rested his massive chin firmly in his
hand. Theon, watching him, saw that

Chevreau, staring blackly down the vel

A VIOLATION OF PAROLE.
A Russian officer, at Port
Arthur, CaptureI at Sinmintin.

A Russian officer, parOIed at Port
t Captured at Sinnintin.
Washington, March 21.-The follow.
ing dispatch from Toxic, dated March
20, was made public at the Japanese
legation Monday:
Respecting the capture at Sinmintin
by the Japanese garrison of a Russian
officer who repaired there in breach
of parole, a st. Petersburg semi-ofncial
telegraph agency published the excuse
to the effect that in returning home
from Shanghai to Russia he took the
route by the Chinese railway, n
therefore the Japanese report is found
ed on a misunderstanding. AS a mat
ter of fact, the Russian officers, who
were liberated upon the surrender OF
Port Arthur, had each and all sworn
in writing, according to the terms OF
capitulation, to the effect that they
would not act contrary to the interest
of Japan. The Japanese government
being convinced that the returning to
Russia of such officers through the
war zone is detrimental to the mill
tary operations, decided that they
should not in any case be allowed to
take that route, and the decision was
expressly communicated to them at the
time. 1t is therefore clear that the
Russian officers arrival at Sinmintin,
lying within the zone of hostilities,
constitutes a breach of the parole"
