The German Kaiser Wilhelm is pro-
foundry interested in aerial naviga-
ton, and after watching the expert
ments with military balloons re-
marked: After what 1 have seen to-
day, 1 am hopeful of the future of air
navigation, and firmly believe in fu-
ture successes" His majesty and
others who are taking up the problem
have come to the same conclusion as
that formed so years ago by that pio-
neer in ballooning, John La Mountain,
who repeatedly expressed the convic-
ton that man would yet learn to fly
Many other wonderful things have
been brought to pass, and with the
steadily increasing knowledge of sci
ence and natural laws possessed by
the present generation the kaiser
voices the opinion of a growing con-
stituency.

Returns from the target practice of
the warships of the Atlantic fleet have
been received and are regarded by the
naval authorities as satisfactory and
in some respects remarkable. But the
army men, who have been stirred up
by recent criticisms of naval officers
regarding the shooting by the seacoast
artillery, have been keeping tabs and
profess to have seen how the work of
the navy can be improved in various
respects This is not at all alarming.
On the contrary, it serves to show
that both branches of national defense
are on the alert and that each is try
ing to Guido the other in efficiency.
That sort of generous, friendly and ex-
pert rivalry promises the most advan-
tageous results to the country.

| William decided his share in the Red
Dog to Tom, and Tom gave papers to
William for a share in the Golden
| Wonder mine, on the other side of the
mountain, some miles away.
No moro partners, both sad at
heart, but both too proudt o acknowl-
edge that he was the least in the
wrong, they shook hands coldly and
| separated civilly enough. Since then
they had not seen one another. Katy
Holt kissed the girls at the school
goodbye, took her books in a grip
sack, turned her hack on the class
room with something of a choking
sensation, for she liked study and the
association of the young girls at the
school, and the next day her father
was surprised to see her just at night
fall come into his camp.
Good old dad," she said laughing
gayly and saucily, I'll bet that we will
have lot of fun here together. l have
been awfully lonesome away from you
and know that you wanted to see
me all the time. 1 have brought my
books home and will study when [
am not housekeeper"
Tom Holt smiled, the first time in a
month, and felt better already.
Three days before Thanksgiving a
large package was brought into camp
by Indian Jack. 1t was addressed to
Miss Katy Holt. She took it and
gave orders that no one was to open
it
What is it all about, Sis?" asked
her father.
Something for Thanksgiving-t
best of all, and a surprise if l can keep
it So"
Then the next day letter came for
Katy, which she opened hurriedly and
read with beating heart. 1t was from
her Uncle Will AS she turned the
pages-there were many of them-a
twenty-dollar bill rustled out On it
was pinned a slip of paper with the
words, For Katy"
A sudden light came into her eyes.
She called her father and told him
that she wished to ride to the town
at once and wished Indian Jack to go
with her. Consent being given, she
was soon under way, galloping over
the trails with speed.
Such a pretty idea" she said;
land so romantic. Where did 1 get it?
Wouldn't the girls think it too sweet
for anything?"
Part way to the town the trail
forked. One fork went to the other
side of the mountain to where her
Uncle Wills mining camp was. She
turned her horse sharply and rode in
that direction, Indian Jack following
close after.
Hello, Uncle Billy" she cried, as
she reached the camp. When she was
particularly fond she always called
Uncle Will BILLY" and he understood
and liked the nickname when she
spoke it.
She leaped from her horse, fairly
dragged Uncle Will into his cabin and
there talked with him for a long time
He shook his head repeatedly, stamp
ed two or three times and would have
said some hard words but that Katy
each time covered his mouth with
kisses and then she Rugged him and
said:
Now, Uncle Billy. you know you
will make your little girl the sad
dest of any one in the world if you
say mo-; and she will be the happiest
if you CITY will say yes"
We'll" answered Uncle Will, 1T is
the bitterest pill of my life, but l
will do it; but mind you, Katy, it is
all for you.
Thank you. dear; you are the best
Uncle Billy in all the world"
But mind, not word to Tom"

Although a vain, bronze turkey
rustled his gorgeous feathers in a
corral, and there was a box of cram
berries and some raisins and other
''fixings" which showed preparation
