Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-12-12

Mrs. Bowser, we are famous-we are rich.'
 But just what is your plan?" she asked.
 Simply this: The ostrich could fly if he had the wings to do it. He goes through all the motions as 1t is. Make wings for him. Give him show, Let him practice flying until he has got it down pat. Then teach him what you want done. If 1t is to carry a mail bag to Boston or Philadelphia, all right. If 1t is to rise with 300 pound shell and seek out man. of-war beleoging to the enemy and drop 1t down one of her tunnels and blow her all to smlthereens, all right again He can sail over fort and drop a shell or other explosive. He can sail over town and destroy It. He can reach a height where he will not be seen. and the terror he will spread will be something awful. Do you see?"
 
 nifty that she did, and he continued:
 "The Japanese insist that country sausage such as we find in all our butcher shops is made down cellar or out in the alley instead of in the coun- try. We deny the allegation. Rela- tions between the two countries be cofhe strained. During this critical period Japan further declares lamb chops are really mutton chops and if teen minutes later before We have time to call her liar, she declares war and starts fleet for San Fran cisco Then what follOws?'
 Your flying ostriches come into play"
 What Ostriches Could Do.
 Exactly, my dear woman. You have a head on you. A hundred flying os, triches, each with a 800 pound dyna- mite shell in his claws, starts out to meet the fleet The fleet Is sighted, the shells dropped, and Japan isn't heard of again for the next hundred years. Do we want anything better? With a hundred ostrlches trained to fly and do the work we can make all the other nations on the face of the earth shake in their boots"
 What name are you going to give it?' seriously inquired Mrs BOwser.
 "I have already selected that shall call it tie Bowserplant. That gives you half the honors. By thunder, woman. but we've hit it-we've surely hit it. No blamed old flying machines for us, but we simply turn an ostrich loose and tell him to get there The world has been fooling around over a hundred years to solve problem that we have made clear in ten minutes
 But should like to hear what oth- CTS say about 1t.
 And so you shall. I'm going over and state the case to the druggist He once invented a flying machine him self and has always been interested I'll bet jump him out of his boots"
 MT BOwser departed at once. He didn't propose to let that ostrich idea get cold. He went out. saying that he would be back in half an hour. but that time passed-then another half hour. then full hour Then Mrs Bowser and the cat went to the front door to see if anything could be seen of him. On the front steps was hud- died figure with the rain beating down on it. Mrs. Bowser took it by the arm and assisted 1t into the hall. and after look by the gaslight she exclaimed:
 "Why. Mfr. Bowser. what's the mat

Of homelike. cosy room was COM

which emphasized the quiet of the
place. People had no nerves in those
days. To-day the thought Of a ma
chine ticking off the seconds and strik-

distress. Time is going. but they do
not wish to be reminded of 1t continu-
ally; no clock is better than the tick
ing machine. And now to meet the re-
quirements OF the nervous people.
factory at Schramburg is making
noiseless clock" In an article on the
same subject another paper says:
THE anti-noise craze has made disa-
greeable and uncomfortable some of the
noises which once were music to us,
and soon we will find way to silence
the birds and to mufile the sound OF
the rustling leaves"

closely examining the edge of the

void Of shrubbery, too steep for a
horse. but presenting possibilities for
q man. With unerring instinct he fol-
lowed the cross-cut westward. Soon
scattering of scrub oaks began to
appear, and sumach already streaked
with crimson. A little farther and the
trees began to show spiral wreaths of
woodbine and wild grape. Yet little
farther, and doubtless there would be

But Williston was growing impa-
tient. Besides, the thought came to
him that he had best not risk his
buckskin to the unknown dangers Of
an untried trail. What II he should go
lame? Accordingly he was left behind
in a slight depression where he
would be pretty well hidden, and Will
liston scrambled down the steep in
cline alone. When foothold or hand
hold was lacking, he simply let him
self go and slid, grasping the first root
or branch that presented itself in his
daredevil course.
Arrived at the bottom, he found his
clothes torn and his hands bleeding;
but that was nothing. With grim de-
termination he made his way through
the ravine and struck across the sand
trail with a: sure realization Of his
danger, but without the least abate-
ment of his resolution. The sand was
firm under his feet. The water had
receded a sufficient length of time be-
fore to make the thought of quick
sands an idle fear. No puff of cloudy
smoke leaped from rifle barrel If.

alien sound! A mans laugh, a curse, a
heartbreaking below of pain. Willis
ton parted ever so slightly the thick
foliage of underbrush that separated
him from the all to familiar sounds
and peered within.
In the midst of small clearing
man-made, for several stumps were
scattered here and there-two men
were engaged in unroping and releas-
ing red steer, similar in all essential
respects to a bunch of three or four
huddled together little to one side.
They were all choice, well-fed animals,
but there were thousands of just such
beasts herding on the free ranges.
He owned red steers like those, but
was there man in the cattle country
who did not? They were impossible
of identification without the aid of
their brand, and it happened that
they were so punched as to completely
battle Williston in his eager efforts
close their ownership. That they were
the illegitimate prey of cattle rust
lers, he never for one moment doubt
ed The situation was conclusive. A
bed of glowing embers constantly re-
plenished and kept at white heat
served to tighten up the weird scene
growing dusky under the surrounding
cottonwoods.
Williston thought he recognized in
one of the men-the one who seemed
to be directing the procedure of this
little affair, whose wide and dirty hat
rim was SO tantalizingly drawn over
his eyes-the solitary rider whose I'M
expected appearance had SO startled
him short time before. Both he and
his companion were dressed after the
rough, nondescript manner of cattle
men, both were gay, laughing and
laxative, and seemingly as oblivious
to possible danger as IL engaged in the
most innocent and legitimate business.
