ance of Christ in Paris on the 14th day
of December, 1910, and His advent and
reception there from that time until De-
cember 25, His own birthday, when He
was again rejected of men and re-
quested to leave town.
The story opens in a puzzling way
Suddenly, on December II, all the
spaces devoted to advertising in all the
Partisan newspapers were discovered to
be blanks. The advertisements had
been accepted for publication by the
press, had been set up by the compos-
itors and had been printed by the
presses. and yet every day for three
Gays at least, these advertisements
were merely white paper So much
excitement did this phenomenon create
that they called it the white leprosy,"
the white terror But on the third
day, that is on December IA, 1910, Paris
felt itself stricken as though by light
ming
At last one of the newsboys spoke

about?"
for the papers. They were blank.
This time they were entirely blank,
except for the title on the front page,
but on the last page on the right-hand
top side of the sheet were a few words
printed in small letters These read:
"'The Son of God has no need of
| advertisement. He Is staying at the
Hotel des Trois Roi, in La Place de
fTtoile. He will receive from mid
, day to midday all day long this 14th
day of December and tomorrow"
Paris, wild already, went wilder still,
The promised reception took place. In
the aforesaid hotel there were 300
rooms. The unexpected visitor re-
ceived privately at one and the same
time in each room an interviewer, so
that there we're 300 interviewers talk
ing privately with Him at once. The
description accorded Him by each one
of these interviewers differed. In one
newspaper His hair was black, In
another gray, in another red. Some
said He had a beard, others that He

MARK LEE LUTHER, AUTHOR OF
"rhe Sovereign Power macmillan, n.
W. has adopted new method in f1n-
ishing his book. The last words in the
book are these.
IF he had flown less high, this Prince
Icarus-"
And that is all. Immediately preced-
ing this novel conclusion we have the
description of an aeronaut whose ma
chine took fire in midair.
And then as he watched and Won
dered, the end came. Amid the dark
mass of the fleeing aeroplane there
glowed a red point of light, but for an
instant only was it a point. Almost as
he perceived it, it became a leaping
flame.
Good Cod" he exclaimed, realizing
the truth, "the man is afire. Doesn't
he know"
appalled, at the disaster, Ann strove
to turn away her eyes. Rodoslav did
know and was facing death with all the
coolness of his greater self. Seeing his
peril at the outset he shut off his en-
gine and began to glide toward the
waters of the Adriatic. With
one wing and then its fellow ablaze, the
fame ever encroaching till the whole
aeroplane became outlined in fire, he
contrived to hold his course. Then
but Ann saw no more. She had buried
her face in her hands. Nor could Page
himself bear clear witness. Afterward
long aftefward-he told her that Ro-
doslav fell as a star falls and the I'M
agery pleased her."
Such is the finish of a very exciting
and very entertaining story. Oliver
Page was an American engineer, with
clever ideas but with little money. He
knew what his aeroplane could do II
he could only complete it in the full
ness of it's perfection When 1t was
finished Italy and Russia found out
that his faith in his own genius was
justified. Rodoslav, a nobleman with
the blood of kings running in his
veins, was also an aeronaut. His
business In life was to restore to him
self a Balkan throne. He stepped aside
| from his purpose to WOO Ann Milburn.
Ann, by all the logic of romance, be-
longed to Oliver Page, but she sue
cumbed to the appeal-to the mystery
Of Rodoslav. Perhaps the most strik
| ing figure in the whole story Is old
| Saccarello, the italian intriguer, who
so much resembled what in fact he
was-a bird of prey. The whole thing
reeks with international intrigue and
mystery. Besides this the aeroplane
scars through the book as the reader
| is bound to do, swiftly and from end
to end, almost without stopping.

PACT NO LONGER
INTERESTS FARMERS
Middle Western Editors and Politicians Bring Word That
Agricuturss Refuse to Be Disturbed by Reciprocity
Issue-Many Write Letters.
By JUDSoN c. wELLIvER.

That sentiment among the farmers is
becoming Modified with reference to the
reciprocity pact, is the claim strongly
urged by the supporters of the Taft
Administration, and there is consider
able evidence in its support.
That the farmers, as a mass, have
| comparatively little concern what be-
comes of the reciprocity arrangement,
is insisted on by various persons who
| lately have been studying carefully the
evidences of sentiment. Here are a few
expressions of opinion:
The publisher of a leading daily news
paper, strongly progressive, in Mid
die Western agricultural State, recently
| told President Taft his experience. His
paper has been supporting the pact.
Most of the delegation from the State
voted against it. Yet this publisher,
who has exactly the same constituency
subscribers were pleased. rather than
the reverse, with the attitude of the
| paper. Many thousands of them, too,
are farmers, getting their paper on ru-
! raj routes.
This is the experience of a Republican
publisher. 1t is closely paralleled by
the statement made by the editor of a
farm journal of national circulation.
This journal has from the. beginning
strongly advocated reciprocity; urged
the passage of the pending legislation.
The editor is in Washington, and has
| told his experience.
Our paper is neither Republican nor
Democratic" he said. 1T has circula-
ton in every State-over 100000 in all

I'VE have been for the reciprocity
treaty from the start, and have argued

view.
Anybody familiar with our day-by-
day mail for the last two years must
