the cup If he could!
Now forcing the machine for
ward he drew slowly but surely
ahead of Grace. He saw the girls
face, tense and drawn, watching
him with fascinated eyes. His
heart sank, but duty urged him
onarwd. The mighty rush of air
seemed a fitting setting for the
turmoil of his passions.
And then. suddenly, it was all
over. He had passed the finish
balloon first and was the winner!
Once off the ground, Fred es-
capped the congratulating crowd
and sought Grace in her tent. To
his surprise, she clasped both of
his hands in hers.
"It was a great racei" she
cried. "And I'm glad that you

OF the rival aero club. II he
won, 1t meant that Grace would
lose. The race was between
them, he had no doubt. If he
won from her she might think II
ungallant and refuse him when he
asked that highly important ques-
ton he had been endeavoring to
ask for so long. On the other
hand, If he willfully lost, the aero
club had misplaced its confidence
in him.
1t was In this unsettled state
of mind that Wright entered the
race. Though there was a big
field of starters, three machines
so far outclasses the others that
they soon drew away from the
rest. Wright, the girl, and Har-
ry Clark, also a sutton for Grace's
hand, were the aviators driving
these three machines.

Gradually he saw Clark's aero

still far from the home stretch,
and Fred, saving the strength of
his machine, made no effort to
overtake Clark. As they raced.
the three machines drew nearer,
Clark slightly in the lead. Now
they were coming nearer and
nearer the end. Fred was watch

lion there to be killed by wild
beasts, he bound up the injured
foot and took the little fellow
home to be his pet. The foot got
well, but the hair grew in white
over the hurt place instead of a
tawny yellow, SO Manason named
him white Foot" The lion
seemed to love his master, but
the longing for his jungle home
finally overcame him, and he
escaped one night.
Several years after this there
was a great war in that country,
and Manasan was arrested as a
dangerous spy against the king.
The king announced that he would
have the spy publicly fed to the
lions ia the arena next day. The
great tiers of seats at the arena
were crowded with the kings
subjects when Manasan walked
proudly into the arena as If to
show them that he was not
afraid to die. The king gave the
order to open the gates, there
was mighty roar, and two huge
lions rushed out toward the pris-
.oner. Suddenly the leaders
roar changed to a peculiar cry,
and he ran to Manasan, licked his
hand, then turned and fought
with his mate to protect Mana
san from it's fury.
Manasan was amazed. But
when he looked down at the lions
feet he saw that one was white. 1t
was indeed his old pet, who had
been captured a short time before
by some of the kings hunters.
The king and his people sat in
wonderment that a wild lion of
the jungles should caress and lick
the prisoners hands.
The king called Manasan to
ask him what it meant, and
when he heard the story of
White Foot, he said, This man
hath a good heart, and therefore
cannot be very wicked. He hath
shown me that kindness even to
dumb brutes is we'll rewarded in
the end. So I will give him his
liberty that he and his pet lion
may go back to his people and tell
them that he hath found me a just
king"

When he was but a boy liv-
ing by the great Sahara desert,
Manasan found wounded lion
cub one day. He had taken his
fathers few sheep down to the
tiny green pasture a long way
from the hut where he lived.
While seated below a date palm
idly watching his flock he heard
a piteous wall from. nearby. In
vestigating, he found a cub lion
with an injured foot. 1t was
probable that hunters had killed
the mother and taken her away,
and had not even seen the cub.
Manasan was a kind-hearted
lad Not liking to leave the little

such as handkerchiefs, muslin
frills, etc. 1t must, however, be
done an son as possible after the
mishap has occurred. A clean piece
of plotting paper should be laid
under the article.
Pieces of damask table linen
rarely require any starch. II they
be carefully washed and ironed
while damp, they will be stiff
enough, and will wear much long
er. Use irons as hot as possible
without scorching the line, and
iron each piece until it is perfect
ly dry. This gives them crisp
ness which can be gained in no
other way, and the linen will stay
clean much longer than IL care
lessly ironed and put away limp
and entirely dry. Keep the edges
straight and the folds even. Hand
kerchiefs should also be ironed
while quite damp with a hot iron.

spoonful of salt, two tablespoon
fuls of vinegar; rub with cloth,
after which polish with flannel
cloth.
Valuable liens that are unused
should at least be washed once a
year, thoroughly dried, and re-
folded. This will prevent yellow
ing and also the injury which re-
suits If creases are allowed to re-
main too long.
If slight scorch is made on a
white garment sponge freely with
a cloth wet with hydrogen perox-
ide and iron dry. The scorch will
disappear like magic.

latds are coming into favor
with leaps and bounds, for old and
young alike. Even suits for street
wear are being made of this at
tractive material. Alas, while we
all like plaids, only the slender
young girl and the tiny woman
can wear them.
This smart little suit is of green
and gray plaid, and is made with
a pleated skirt, cuirass bodice and
long, close fitting coat. The
revers are of deep gray satin, and
the waistcoat is handsomely en-
broidered in Persian colors.
A white velvet muff with bands
of white fur and decorated with
one pink rose gives a delightful
touch to this charming costume.
The hat is of white beaver, with
gray satin about the crown and a
black and white coque feather
trimming.
