Dear Brother Frank-The spuds

McCabe says that he subssted on
tobacco, coal oil and by chewing wood
from the mine timbers.

three years ago, and her life secret

years ago. when sine was brought to
the hospital from a ranch where she
was employed as a cook, suffering
from pneumonia.
This remarkable woman adopted
her disguise simply to better enable

this act seems to have been to save
the woman's good name.
Miss Vosbaugh was a daughter OF

her a good business education and
taught her several modern languages.
At his death she came to America
alone. She worked in several cities
as bookkeeper and finally went to
Joplin. where she was a trusted bank
clerk for fifteen years. During all this
time 1t was never suspected that she
was not man.
Shortly after her marriage" 4 child
was born to the wife. which died a
few weeks later. The two women
then came to Trinidad. when this
place was nothing but hamlet and

name OF "Frenchie" and the establish
ment soon became a famous eating

For some unknown reason the
couple separated. but what became OF

After her life's secret was learned.
the woman refused to divulge the

He raised his cap, and the heart of
the girl 1uttered. Wherever had this
seemly fellow come from?
Good morning" said the stranger
courteously. Il see that you have had
the same misfortune as myself"
You have lost shoe? Rather an

the words carelessly, as II she wasn't
at all interested.
The stranger stuffed his cap into a
pocket
She was glad that she had chosen
the new saddle. The crest and coat
of arms had not yet been burned upon

blanket under the English saddle.
There might be an adventure; one
could not always tell. She must hide
her identity. If the stranger knew that
she belonged to the House of Barscheit,
possibly he would be frightened and
take to his heels.
But the Princess Hildegarde did not
know that this stranger never took to
his heels; he wasn't that kind. Prin.

Bauer called to his assistant, and the
girl stepped out into the road. The

would. 1t will be seen that she knew
something of men, II only that they
possess curiosity.

Owing to the adverse weather con-
ditions, however, a flight was not at
tempted.
The kite, or ship, is in itself a section
OF tetrahedron, 10 metres long on
top, 10 metres along the bottom by
metres deep.
1t is composed of 1856 units, or
small tetrahedrons, two faces of which
are covered with silk. thus forming a
two-winged cell. These cells, SO ar
ranged are said to give, as the results
of many tests. the maximum stability
with the lightest weight.
A hole is cut through the center OF

ton for the motor and visitor. The
ship is also provided with bow for
sailing purposes.
Three floats are used as part of its
construction to support it while float
ing on the lake.
A Curtis motor is used. 1t is of four
cylinders, twenty-horse power, and
weighs 129 pounds; it drives two solid
screw propellers on the same shaft but
in opposite directions. These are EN-
ployed to reduce the turning movement
which results in a tendency to overturn
