CHAPTER LII.-(contInued.)


He reclioned that, while the bal
loon had gone direct with the wind,
she had been making some 40 to 40
miles an hour. but now that she had
the wind upon her quarter the speed
had been considerably reduced, and,
according to the instruments in the
Victor" she was not making more
than 80.
II Paris were their objective, II
would take them some 80 hours to
make the trip. 1t was then Tuesday,
which meant that If Paris were the
goal, the capital of France could not
be reached till about noon on Thurs
day, and then only il the wind did not
veer round to the west.
There was not the slightest fear that
they would lose the balloon. They
could track her as surely as a deg
could follow a wounded bird.
II the situation were almost farcical,
| 1t certainly was annoying. Strong was
without TIE means of stopping the bal
loon, and was also without any means
| Of ascertaining its destination.
| Behind him lay the freshly-surren-
dered city, and his absence from
Domberg might mean that he would
have to live over again all the stress
and agony OF the past As hours.
True, he had left the "Di" keeping
watch and ward over the city, but that
was a small thing now that the jour
ney he was forced to take eeemod
likely TO De long one.
Strong debated with himself wheth-
I .s..lr
the 'Di" OH the wireless and order
Arbuthnot to come up with them. And
on this he finally decided, because he
saw quite plainly that IL he were to
successfully follow up the flight OF the
king and ascertain the whereabouts 81
Diana il would be a far more simpie
matter tC accomplish with the "Di'
| than In the Victor"
Without any further delay, there
fore, he picked up the "Di'' and in
! structed Arbuthnot to inform NJ. Stall
van that the "Di" would be temper
arily withdrawn from Bomberg. Ar
/ buthnot was also ordered 10 inform
the premier that during the absence OF
the "Dl," Strong would expect the pre-
mier to carry out the instructions
which he had given him. and to inn
plicitly obey any further orders he
might receive by wireless.
The wind held fair just TO the north
OF east, and Strong noted that the bal
loon hung very well on the course
which II had first shaped when Lud'
wig had put the helm down.
II was now about noon. and toward
3 o'clock the DR. showed up on the
horizon. Arbuthnot licked for instruc-
lions, but Strong had none to give.
Lying above at a convenient dis
lance. strong was we'll able to- observe
what passed i'm the balloon. Toward
the afternoon the king. Col. Conrad.

BY ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The local
eye. always political and commonly
an office-holding eye, turns often to
Georgia and to Mr.. Taft. The latter
is the busiest president-elect that the
world has ever seen. Fears are ex-
pressed, however. that he may haul
more wood than he can saw and split.
1t Is thought his exuberant enthus-
iasm. born perhaps of the exultant
nearness OF an inauguration that with
each dag draws nearer still, may not
last through. New brooms sweep
clean, particularly White House

Office; their office Yields them. I've
had personal experience OF four pres.-
dents. Only one of the four was
stronger than his Office The other
three were as helpless as three ships

For all Mr.. TAFT anticipates so much,
he apparently does not appreciate the
