HOW THE FAMOUS AVIATOR KEPT
HIS APPOINTMENT.

Our special correspondent teIographed Oh
Sunday from Dover
M. Bleriot made the flight in weather that
was by no means ideal for his purpose. In
deed, it was so far from ideal that when, at
four O'Clock this morning, q message from
Sangatte by The Dolly MIiE8 installation
Of Marconi wireless biography informed us
that the start was about to be made we
found it difficult to believe the news, 1t
was a crystal clear morning, a dawn Of rose
and gold. But the cool, fresh breeze that
blew in our faces whom we went outside the
hotel And those foam-crestad waves, 6eIl-
ing Of an uuquiet seal Surely no man would
try to fly across with conditions so perlous
us these
"Ah, but you don't know B.6riot," said
the omto de Lapey reuse, who arrived from
Calais in the middle Of the night and kept
placid vigil in the s~moking-room OF the Lord
Warden Hotel. 'sBl6riot told me he would
be here at about five o'clock this morning
and asked me to meet him. He will come.
Appointment Kept.
AZ tWOntv-fve minutes to five we received
word that the flight had began. Let me
first tell the story Of what followed, as saw
it.
1t is about five minutes By motor-car from
thoLordW Warden t Shakespeare CItt, towards
which eminence NJ. Bleriot had %anno need
that he would steer, landing, if possible, on
the beech below. At twenty minutes to five
[ had reached the cliff.
This time there was no crowd, and | may
ention incidentally that Dover has been
engaged all day IN the exercise OF kicking
itself l suppose that the weather was the
principal cause of the lack of SPECTATORS
it seemed 50 very unlikely that the fight
would be attempted on such a morn
ing. Then, too, although the signals we
hid arranged we're given, it had al
ways been obvious that they would be
Of little use to persons who were in
bed and had no view of the sea from
their houses by the time they could dress
aud get TO the cliffs or the pier the flight
would be over,
But, even if we had been disappointed
again, surely it was worth while to have lost
a little sleep. Of all the lovely dawns I have
seen here in the last fortnight this was the
lovliest. The sea of palest, and tender@st
blue the sky, like some chryselephantine
wonder Of old Greece, ivory and gold, and a
little faint rose still left the great cliffs like
fortresses at either side of us the swan

THE CREATOR OF "HARvEY,s !,

every one who had visited Washington
since the Civil War knew ssHarvev's, .
the famous oyster house at Eleventh
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N
! W., where were invented steamed ovs.
tiers. George Harvey and his brothers
in 1856 established the first oyster
house in Washington, and it became a
gold mine for them during the war,
when officers and soldiers crowded it,
elamoring for all sorts of cooked oys-
ters- All the cooks that the Harveys
could employ were unable to supply
the orders until a scheme of throwing
unshucked oysters into boiling water
by the pailful was adopted Steam was
later substituted for boiling water, and
the result was steamed oysters. which
when served with the kind of dressing
obtainable only at Harvey made a
delectaible dish. Mrs. Seward, the wife
of the Secretary of State, put the stamp
of official approval on this dish by hav-
ing Mr.. Harvey serve an oyster supper
for President and Mrs Lincoln. Since
that time the restaurant has been
favorite haunt of public men, and many
political deal has been arranged in
the private dining room on the second
floor. Canvasback duck. which MIR.
Harvey would carve and mix the sauce
for himself, was another dish for which
the place was famous.

But you are not listening
Helen Fairfax turned her eyes back
to her lover with a murmured For

shining with a tremulous love-light,
and she was a clever girl, with keen
mind and keener intuition, and he
had grown into the habit of talking to
her freely of his life, his profession,
in way that surprised himself.
But tonight her attention wandered.
Tonight of all nights, Tomorrow he
was to sum up his great case. Surely
a woman should share the self-denial
of mans destiny Was Helen, after
all, like other women given to moods,
absorbed in the subjective-when the
veil was lifted? They had been en-
gagged six months; each day had been
a fuller revelation of her nature. Was
this the nearer view? All, no-banish
the thought. Helen was Helen-there
was no more to be said
He took up the lines of the argu-
ment of his case and stated them to
her, clearly, concisely, as though she
were a man. This time her eyes did
not wander from his face; they deep
ened, their pupils growing larger as
she gazed How splendid he looked!
How alert How alive!
How could she keep at this wide
distance? How incidental and how
futile sounded all that rapid flow of

that she might throw herself upon his
breast?

The Little Blind Bats

Beneath the ruin there still existed
dungeon vault, gloomy and granite
groined, yet, save for broken wall and
stairway, perfect as when poor
wretches moldered there at the mercy
of their feudal masters. Now not so
much as one specter of vanished
sufferer haunted the place; only the

He waited to see the flash of pro-
test in her eyes, for some little lance
that she would thrust to cross his own,
but instead she nestled her head into
the curve of his shoulder and whis-
pered: Forgive me- l am moody to-
night; very moody and absent-mind-

absent-minded, dear" he answered
seriously, where another's interests
are involved. 1t is sign of weakness.
And there is something besides love.

at bay when a man has work to do
not lure him nor tempt him with it.
do not like to say it, sweetheart, but
Il love you-and the wounds of

at your failure to sympathize with my
work tonight"
Two big tears welled in her eyes,
but she said no word. Had Harold
Ford been hero, a knight of chivalry,
he would not have stopped in his
quest until he had found the source Of
those two tears; he was, however, only
q very busy man of to-day. Not that
the two are altogether incompatible,
but that the combination is rare, and
Harold did not happen to be both in
the fullest sense; furthermore, he was
deeply absorbed in an immediate prac-
tical affair. 1t was striking eleven,
and time for him to leave her. Though
he said no more, and his goodnight
salutation lacked nothing outwardly,
there was mental reservation which,
to the psychic sense of Helen, robbed
it of its fullest bliss.
"Six o'clock tomorrow, DEAR" he re-
peated, as he went out the door. six
O'Clock tomorrow she answered.
Did her voice culver, or was 1t
fancy? He was conscious of saying to
himself, as ne passed down the steps:
care all women alike, | wonder-after
all-tears and moods?"
The following afternoon, in the gath.
ering dusk. he mounted the steps
again. His attitude had changed. The
stress and irritation of an absorbing
effort had given place to buoyant
reaction. He had won his case, and
won it in so brilliant way that the
triumph was the smallest part of his
self-congratulation Even the Judge
had said words to make young law
yer's heart take courage. But what
were the words, what was the tri-
umph, what was anything, until he had
shared it with Helen? He could see
her in the gathering dusk, as he walt
ed, her eyes glistening delight He
could hear her vibrant Harold"

ROMANCE of Married lie

Really. the romance of life begins
only after marriage, 1t is then that
character is developed, that personal.
ity is matured, that capabilities are
tested. Before marriage (until the
individual becomes a confirmed old
maid or bachelor), life is more or less
in the nature Of stage picture, with
comedy and athletics predominating.
The most in it is fun and frolic, music
and dancing, running and singing,
plucking flowers and scattering them
That is excellently good while it lasts.

the realities that make men and wom-
