Lucy Desmore settled herself CON-
fortably in the hammock back of the
arbor. She had many pleasant things
to think about in case she cared to
stay awake. But the breathing Of
summer winds in the maple boughs
and the sing song of bees among the
flowers soon soothed her to uncon-
seriousness. She awoke with a start
to hear voices in the summer house.

Lucy Desmore crouched among the

PeriIs Of ELYinq.

The roll of deaths in flying lengthens
steadily and probably at an increasing
ratio, but does not apparently diminish
the zeal and the temerity of new
aspirants. More than 100 names are
now in the death list, and these include
those of some of the most careful
and expert scientific eXperimenters.
When we take into account the COM
paratively short time in which at
tempts at aviation have been prac-
ticed and in which, therefore, the list
has been growing and the small num-
ber of persons who have engaged in
it, the total is appalling. 1t must far
exceed proportionately that Of deaths
in motor racing or any other compara-
BILE occupation. The new art, thus far
at least, is exceptionally dangerous,
so dangerous that only the most gen
uine advantage to mankind can justi-
fy the practice of it, and therefore it
should be confined to prudently regu-
lated experiments.

as If to look at him and his car hit
the ground and bounded and pitched
him out on his head.
He awoke to find himself famous
and to hear a voice crying: "Booter
aidge! ia, ia, Herr Booteraidge
selbstn'
He was lying on a little patch of
grass beside one of the main avenues
Of the aeronautic park. The airships
receded down a great vista, an i'm
mense perspective, and the blunt Prov
Of each was adorned with a black
eagle of hundred feet or so spread
Down the other side Of the avenue ran
a series of gas generators, and big
hose pipes trailed everywhere across
the intervening space. Close at hand
was his now nearly debated balloon
and the car on its SIDE looking minute
ly small, a mere broken toy, shriv-
eled bubble. in contrast with the gi-
gantic bulk of the nearer airship.
He perceived that close at hand was
a field telephone and that a tall officer
in blue was talking thereat about him.
Another stood close beside him with
the portfolio of drawings and photo
graphs in his hand. They looked
round at him.
"Do you spik Cherman, Herr Booter-
aidge?'
Bert decided that he had better be
dazed. He did his best to seem thor
oughly dazed "Where am II" he
asked.
Volubility prevailed. "Der Prinz"
was mentioned. A bugle sounded far
away, and its call was taken up by
one nearer and then by one close at
hand. This seemed to increase the ex-
element greatly.
An earnest faced, emaciated man
with a white mustache appealed to
Bert. Herr Booteraidge, sir, we are
chust to startr'
"Where am II" Bert repeated.
Some one shook him by the other
shoulder. Are you Herr Booteraidge?"
he asked
Herr Booteraidge, we are chust to
start" repeated the white mustache,

then helplessly: What is de goot?
What can we do?'
The officer from the telephone re-
peated his sentence about Der Prinz''
and "mitbringen." The man with the
mustache stared for a moment, grasp
ed an idea and became violently ener-
getic, stood up and bawled directions
at unseen people. Questions were ask
ed, and the doctor at Bert's side an
something about 'Kopf." With a GER
tain urgency he got Bert rather I'M
willingly to his feet. Two huge sol
diers in gray advanced upon Bert and
seized hold of him. "'Ullo" said Bert,
startled. whats up?"
ut is all right" the doctor explain
ed; they are to carry you"
"Where?" asked Bert, unanswered.
put your arms roundt their-hals-
round them!'
Before Bert could decide to say any
thing more he was whisked up by the
two soldiers. They Joined hands to
seat him, and his arms were put about
their neckS. "Norwarts"' Some one
ran before him with the portfolio, and
he was borne rapidly along the broad
avenue between the gas generators
and the airships rapidly and on the
whole smoothly, except that once or
twice his bearers stumbled over hose
pipes and nearly let him down.
He was wearing Mr.. Buttaridge's
Alpine cap, and his little shoulders
were in Mr. Butteridges fur lined
overcoat, and he had responded to
Mr.. Butteridge's name. The sandals
dangled helplessly. Cav! Everybody
seemed in a devil of hurry. Why?
He was carried jogging and gaping
through the twilight, marveling be-
yond measure.
There was a matter Of sentinels,
gangways and long, narrow passage,
a scramble over disorder of baggage,
and then Bert found himself lowered
to the ground and standing in the door
way of spacious cabin. 1t was per
haps ten feet square and eight high.
furnished with crimson padding and
aluminium. A tall, birdlike young man
with a small head, long nose and
very pale hair, with his hands full of
things like shaving strops, boot trees,
hairbrushes and toilet tides, was say
ing things about Gott and thunder
and Dummer Booteraidge as Bert en-
tered. He |as apparently an evicted
occupant. Then he vanished, and Bert
was lying back on couch in the cor
ner with pillow under his head and
the door of the cabin shut upon him.
He was alone. Everybody had hur-
ried out again astonishingly.
"Gollys" said Bert. What next?"

The Wool Report.

After several months of exhaustive
inquiry carried on by experts in all
lands where wool in large quantities
is grown or woven into cloth the tar
if board has reported on the wool
schedule. This report is Of historic
Importance for the reason that it inau-
gurates n new method of tariff revi-
sion. 1t also is of interest because the
president when he vetoed the three
tariff bills during the extra session
virtually promised that when the tar
iff board had time to report he would
join congress in bringing about re-
vision based on its findings. While
the boards figures do not show to a
mathematical certainty the difference
in cost Of production at home and
abroad, they probably approximate it
as closely as the fluctuations in such
cost from time to time and the vari-
ations in different countries permit.
