He put on full power and headed
toward Buffalo. After travelling some
distance he caught the light OF the
oncoming craft, which shcne like
huge star In the east, but =. was far
from it's course, and was sailing low
over the lake. His heart was in his
mouth. Something had gone wrong.
Then he saw rocket 60 up. II was
the signal Of distress. The wind
grew fiercer, and the forked lightning
played In the distant gloom. AS he
came nearer he heard shouts from the
dark waves beneath him, and fash
revealed the struggling forms OF the
passengers. They were reasonably
safe, however, having dropped with
life preservers from the Inflated air
craft, which was bent In the form of
semi-circle by the strong blasts.
Moreover, a steamer from Buffalo was
fast overhauling them.
Another-bright fash revealed the
wrecked dirigible and the form of
woman clinging TO the ropes far
above the car. She had evidently re-
fused to obey the order to Jump, and
had trusted herself to the crippled air
ship. Dan pursued the huge craft,
which lightened of its passengers, was
drifting rapidly. AS he overhauled
the derelict. and passed above the
drifting leviathan Of the sky, he d.
rected his searchlight to the clinging
figure OF the girl who hung trembling
ly TO the ropes. with life preserver
about her, and shouted name
throug his megaphone.
An answering cry which thrilled
him came back. Then, as he sped on,
he dropped weighted line, telling
Dora to make 1t fast about her waist.
A motor and windlass did the rest.
and In q few moments Dora was
seated beside him. Then in the higher
currents they left the storm, but as
they made their way through the
gloom. they saw binding flash far
behind, followed by loud explosion.
The overhead limited had been struck
by lightning, and was no more.
Dora and Dan, who is president OF
the Trans-C Continental Airship line
still make their summer trips over the
route; and Dora often tells little Dan
who listens with wide-open eyes, OF a
pcrilous trip she and his father once
had on that awful night.

BY n. n. HUDSON.

When the first passengerdirigible
made its initial trip between New
York and Chicago there was excite
ment everywhere, but as the seasons
came and went people gave little heed
To the great torpedo-shaped monsters
which coursed the air far above
them.
Late one afternoon, about the mid
die OF June, 1920, Dan Wagner sat on
the porch at his home on the heights
east of the city. AS he studied a
telegram his heart beat faster. The
message ran:
Dear Dan-Father and I left
for Chicago today at l o'clock on
the Overhead Limited. Think of
me when you see the lights pass.
DORA NELSON"
Why should the girl ask him TO
think of her when she knew that one
half OF his thought vibration was
given TO her constantly? He would
do more than think OF her. He would
catch q glimpse OF her face as the
sky-liner passed. He called up the
weather bureau and learned with
alarm that the sudden changes were
expected before morning.
Meanwhile, Dora Nelson sat beside
her father in the magnifcently ap-
pointed apartments OF the airship.
With Joy and enthusiasm she drank
in the pure air far above the smoky
towns and cities. Below she watched
the trains following the threads OF
steel There was music, too, and
choice refreshments. AS the land
scape fell away beneath her she grad
| ually became accustomed to the
sound OF the whirring motors. Final
| ly the enthusiastic passengers caught
| the distant blue OF the lake dotted
with steamers. She learned that they
were on time and would reach their
destination by 9 o'clock In the even
ing. while six hours more would land
them safely in Chicago. Some of the
tourists noticed dark patcher OF
cloud on the horizon, but the electric
| light were soon turned on and dan
gers were forgotten.
At precisely $3.50 Wagner's aero
plane shot up from Its course, and
after cutting some fantastic figures In
the air, rose majestically, circline
higher and higher In the constantly
| increasing breeze. Wagner was ar
expert, and could rise, dip and turn
like a bird. He defied all danger and
courted the strong wind. His ma
| chine, moreover, was one which had
been made under special supervision
and had many improvements over
those generally In use. Occasionally
he glanced at his watch. The limit

Uncle Sam Has Authorized Survey

The purpose is to ascertain the ex.

The great Irrigation schemes pro

The large irrigation schemes now
on in the valley. including an acre
age Of q half million. at a cost OF not
less than $4,000 900. have taken up
much OF the available water supply
of The valley. but 1t Is asserted by
experts and authorities. that with
scientific conservation. the Arkansas
Valley should be placed entirely under
Irrigation.

manhood and the large town just
passing into citydom! You see. In
some boys. existing manliness from
the beginning clear through life; in
Others. perhaps, you. with us. have
noticed Just about the time they are
stepping over the line from boyhood
to manhood that disposition to say
smart things-always being careful to
make themselves heard, even though
they may have to often repeat before
obtaining the proper recognition OF
approval from those whom they
wish to most Impress of their shrewd
ness or ability to create a laugh.
Foolish young men. DO they no,

ated by intelligence. Why. men some
times laugh at imbeciles. apes, ba
boons. or monkeys. and some Of the
most unintelligent creatures on earth
So 1t is also true Of the large town
about to step over the line into city
dom. There are always some Of her
citizens. classed almost at any age
who have that youthful desire to
make themselves smart before thelf
fellow citizens as well as demonstrate
to strangers how able they are to
make fun OF or poke sarcasm at them
As they pass by while they stand
In groups on the corners. Foolish
men. Don't they know that not on
an average OF one out Of every ten

themselves look In the estimation OF
citizens who have seen some Of the
world and know how they should act
and how pitiable they are In the sym
pathetic estimation OF the stranger
who may be sojourning among them,
and has occasion to pass by the
street corner smart set"
We think they should. in the broad
est sense Of the word. try to bride
their tongues. even though they may
not be able To improve the shallow
brains with which they were unfor'
tunately created.
