rails for a book, put with the horrible
object of earning wages.
So Mrs. Grayibll. under the pretext of
house cleaning, had the seed-corn taken
down from over the portraits of Dante
and Aeschylus, and removed the cream
separator from its place beside the bard
Of Avon-who had been looking at it all
the time with a knowing air, as if en-
tirely familiar with its operation. The
wagons and harrows inc cows were
sold. The old democrat wagon and ma
tronly Percheron mare, whose progress
was impeded by the necessity of an &C.
c~asional stop for purposes connected
with the sustenance of her colt. were
supplanted by a new automobile. Mr..
Waddy, like the toes of the Barefoot
Boy, was encased ''in the prison-cells of
pride"
1t was calling; and so, sitting desolate
in his deruralized library, the old gen.
tleman, having no vocation for any
other intoxicant, imbibed freely of
Craighead. He knew that he was likely
to lose money by it. He rather desired
TO do SO, that he might say to his sons
inc to Caroline: well. dumb 1t, If
you'd have let me alone, 1 wouldn't have
lost anything."
But thai was at first. The money for
the last touches to the airship was to be
the extent of his venture; and then
came Craighead with his new-hatched
plan for actually monopolizing the air:
and, Mr.. Waddy, having submitted 1t
to his local lawyer, hesitated and was
lost.
"IlI o into it," said he. Well make
everybody come and settle that wants a
trip by airship. Hey?"
Exactly replied C~raighead.
Jest as If the Whole country was our
FARM cried Mr.. Waddy.
ct will be for circumambient pur-
poses replied Craighead. And as you
so well said. a farms a cineh. And re-
member, Mr.. Waddy, in putting Shayne
n his pirates dow n out, we and
our pirates are making way for the
m~atchless, unsuitable. double-acting,
universal-speed, direct-drive, non-hala-
ton, orthochromatic Carson aeronef.
Don't forget our naughty Southern
co-conspirator, who will wing his way
to illinois by the time we return. Don't
fall down and forget that"
'.Huh!' calculated Mr.. Waddy.
.Oh, a not so, Mr.. Waddy, say not
soi'' urged Mr.. Craighead, protestingly.
"Our aeronef has everything, the in
shoot, the drop, the float, the out
everything! Tested under all condi-
tions; margin-of-safety factor COM
pletely looked after; basic principle SO
demonstrably correct; gyroscopic libra
~tion-devices, for automatic power-dis-
tribution to correct perturbations of all
sorts, perpendicular, horizontal and
oblique. Why. doubt these and doubt
the advance of science, the improve
ment in corn, the advent of the general
purpose hen, the fixation of nitrogen in
the soil by the nodules on the roots of
legumes-or is it on the legs of root
lumes? Thou knowest. o son of the
soil. which it is, All of us knowest how
it is to doubt 'em; and to doubt
the Carson aeronef is waur, mon, q dell
sight waur.'

Used, or I'll know why he took my good
hard money"
1t was on occasions of this sort hat
Mr.. Craighead had sweated kilograms

any airship, and asking of Carson's
status as asset or liability; for Mr.
Waddy had accompanied C~raighead
east; and these Geographic means of a
spirit ~agonized by doubt had been
by his truculent attitude to-
ward the possible failure of Carson to
