GREAT FLIGHT PLANNED.
French Aviator to Attempt Trip From

French Aviator to Attempt Trip From
France to Algiers.
The revival of interest in aviation in
France continues to be marked
Brague, who recently made a notable
flight from Nice to a little island be-
tween Corsica and the italian coast
says it was purely experimental and
that he intends eventually to fly from
France to Algiers. making Ajaccio his
midway station.
He declares that to succeed in this
voyage an aviator must possess three
essential things-a good motor, an alb
solutely accurate compass and exact
meteorological information. He con-
siders that the superior speed of aero
planes makes the escort of fast war
vessels wholly useless unless they be
scattered at regular intervals along the
greater part of the route
The value of the aeroplane, says
Brague, has now been demonstrated
to be greater over sea than over terra
frma. Many experts in France be-
lieve the development of aviation de-
pends chiefly upon the problem Of
dimensions, and there is a growing
opinion that a machine so vast that
air currents will have only a minimum
effect upon it may make navigation of
the atmospheric space relatively as
safe as that of the ocean in ships of
the type of the Mauretania.
Meanwhile a leading French military
organ announces with great confidence
that an infallible method of making
aeroplanes self balancing has been in
vented.

Ephraim Plummer father did not

to him and let him stay there. Father
didn't approve of Joseph going with
the girl because she was only sixteen
years old. while Joseph was consider
ably older.
Joseph felt that after seeing her he
could never love any other girl. He

THE NEXT MOVE.
An Evening With the Family That Had
the Mania.

"'Twere well, Howard Hammers
ley" said the beautiful young woman,
"that you make good use of what re-
mains of this evening, for this is the
last time you will ever enter this
house, at least while l am one of its
occupants"
Strange words were these to be
spoken by newly engaged girl to her
lover There was catch in her voice,
and her eyes burned with deep emo
ton, or was it his Imagination? Her
beautiful figure was clothed in richest
silk. and jewels sparkled at her throat.
But this merely served to bring out
in more startling contrast the barren
ness of the room. The floor was un-
carpeted. the walls were destitute of
pictures. the only article of furniture
was an old fashioned davenport, upon
which she half reclined among soft
pillows. A meager setting this for so
rare a gem. She wore the appearance
of one used to more luxurious sur
roundings.
The young man seemed taken aback
by her words. He toyed with his
watch chain and nervously fingered
and turned the one ring he wore. 81
lently the moments glided by. but no
clock was there TO mark their fight.
Suddenly from the next room came a
muffled sound. followed by a blood
curdling oath.
The young man started violently,
and the girl half rose, but restraining
herself. sank back to her former po-
sition. She seemed waiting for him
to break the silence.
At last ne rose from the packing
case upon which he sat and swiftly
crossed the room To Il place on the
davenport by her side. His arms open
ed to receive her and. without resist
ance, she sank into them.
"Ah. yes, Adelaide" he murmuret
in deep voice. You are right
