CHAPTER XIV (Continued).

-~ TRAIGHT as a bullet part Of

couldn't breathe up there,
Pete; though, maybe, after
all, we'll have to take our chances in a
3G.00O-foot altitude. l don't want to get
lost in the sky! It'll be like thread
ing q rusty needle to work our way
through those turrets, domes, and obe-
Nsks, among those snowpound canyons
and precipices. Remember, were not
fooling with common-sized mountains.
The valleys in the Himalayas are as
high as the top of Mont Blanc. while the
upper regions are-well-simply unap-
pToachable.'
ITO an ordinary tourist, yes-bur
why couldn't we sail directly over them?
1t isn't as if we had to exert ourselves.
Wen only have TO reach the proper alu-
tude, put the vessel on he" course, then
cover up and keep warm. 1t won't be
for long, and these sheepskiB rugs will
carry air enough from the valley TO get
US safely over. 1t seems to me that by
doing SO we wouldn't run the risk of
getting lost-provided, OF course, that
masery."
Gwynne laughed at my simplicity.
I'VE should be blackened corpses
long before straddling the highest ridge.
But, what's the use, we couldn't get
there! The machine has lungs as well
as wet"
And so i had to give II up.
After breakfast we oVerhauled the
machinery. 1t had stood the trip per
fectly-not a bolt or screw had been
strained. Not tube, cane' or rattan
ioosened.
He was winding up something that
moved a disk near the center of the
vessel. / asked what II was for.
ITO control her weight. l can make
her light as a feather or heavy as lead;
It's matter Of vibration. You We healu

We'll, there's similar principle in

What most concerns us is the tact tha'

There was no sign of life upon the
plain. We had built our fire out OF
brushwood, a kind of dwarf willow that
grew by the water. And there was noun
ing near to disturb II, we anchored
10 some of these bushes. and then
walked off to stretch our legs. The
grass was luxurious and II surprised US
that there were no animals TO crop II.
We had walked probably third OF
mile when we observed what seemed 10
be a group of large boulders on the
grass a short distance beyond. Their
size and appearance struck us as pecu-
liar, and out of place, and so we con-
cluded to go little further to inVestl-
gate.
Our surprise may be imagined when
we discovered that the supposed boul-
ders were a dozen or more large yakS,
standing perfectly erect, but stone dead
There was no indication of the cause,
or of how long they had been there in
that condition, neither was it apparent
why they had not fallen.
1t was a gruesome sight, and Gwynne
and / went from one to another, exam
lining each in turn and making sure
there was not living one among them.
They stood there motionless, and as
silent as carved images upon the plain,
their heads to the ground as if graz
ing, but without a show of life in any
Of them.

Bryan Tells Of An

Patriotism. unless backed up by IN

Thus William Jennings Brayn once
ended a Fourth of July address in Lin
coin.
'FThe man who has nothing behind MS
patriotism," Mr.. Bryan added, is as
nadiy off as a certain recruit OF Wnom

This recruit was being put through

Vas. sir; thank yo' SIR" said Mat
thew. but eff yo' has no 'jections I'd
rather sleep out with de hoss an p'raps
he'd like ter have me, too"
Matthew had a good supper, and then,
because Matthew insisted upon 1t, the
man let him sleep out in a fine stable
in a big box stall. where special
bunch of clean straw was put In one
corner for him. Before he went to sleep
he saw the horses foot all nicely ban
daged. and Just before he closed his
eyes he thought he heard the horse
make the tiniest kind OF little noise
that sounded almost like goodnight.
So you see that for two kind deeds
to his animal friends Matthew's frst
day was made a pretty comfortable
one. and next week / will tell you how
he got along afterward

there were thirteen at the table. I
went out and got the first man I could
