Riding Like the Wind.

Picking his way down to the river,
Holcomb replenished his water supply,
bought meal of the sullen Indians, and
set out on his way to the west again.
AS he climbed to the plateau a chief
halted him with appraised hand-a tall
man with stern brown face and mar
row eyes.
"The stranger must not go to the
Three Spears" he grunted
Holcomb returned the hostile gaze
with calmness. He rolled husk Gig

Journey away and he was anxious to
reach them. At noon, when he STOP

the mouth Of the deflle which led to
the higher Businesses.
He was tightening the cinch of his
horse. for the trail ahead was steep
and narrow, when sound caused him
to wheel The Spanish girl Of the day
before was coming toward him.
Her thin dress was torn and her
moccasins were cut to shreds. There
were angry bruises on her bare arms
and she limped as she walked.

his arm. "No, no." Her earnestness
could not be mistaken. There is no

there. And the white man must not

Sailor Swan Fifteen MtIes.


Alfred Schurman, a sailor on tho
British steamship Bentmore, made q
remarkable record by swimming If
teen miles through the Gulf of Mexico
to shore.
The Bentmore steamed from Port
Arthur and was out fifteen miles In
the gulf when Schurman, who was en-
gagged at work on the railing, was
pitched overheard by 1urch of tho
ship and was not missed by his ship
mates. He struck out md after near
ly seven hours in the water finally
made shore
1t was a turbulent sea and Schur-
man was exhausted when picked up
on the beach five miles from Port Ar
thur and sent to a hospital.

WILL BE DEADLY FOE d:
GERMAN CLAIMS He. CAN MAKE
AIRsHIP INVISIBLE.
Proposed Terror 10 to Be 40 Large %
the Steamer Olympic and Able TO
Defy the Telescope at the
Distance Of q Mile.

The invisible airship has already
been patented by it's inventor Baron
Roenne. Baron Roenne is well known
in England as an airship and naval
engineer, 50 more respect must DO
paid to his ideas than to those who
try tnventing without any technical
knowledge.
Baron Roenne has submitted his
Idea to the officials at the Greenwich
Royal Observatory, and they declare
that it is based on scientific prtnci-
pies, and most certainly practicable.
They way this remarkable airship in
made invisible is as follows:
Take white wall and paste a white
sheet Of paper on it. At distance Of
a few feet you may be able to detect
where the paper leaves OF and the
wall begins. At hundred yards the
wall looks all wall. You would never
suspect the paper Of being there If
you did not known already. That ia
Baron Roenne's idea
The outside covering of his afrship
is made of metal, the composition OF
which is secret. It is almost as
strong az steel, yet it only weighs one
fourth as much. No hydrogen can
leak from a vessel made of it, SO the
danger Of an airship exploding from
that cause disappears.
It Is due to the discovery Of chro-
MUM. in fact, that the invisible air
ship is possible. Tho most important
thing about the metal, as far as Baron
Roenne is concerned, is that it pos
sesses a very highly polished surface.
This is covered over with thin
coating Of transparent varnish. The
whole surface Of the dirigible, In fact,
acts as mirror, and reflects the same
color as its surroundings. II the sky
is dull. so. is the airship. II the sky
10 blue, so is the airship.
The sides of the keel Of this new
airship are also rejecting mirrors.
and by an ingenious arrangement Of
them the darker shade reflected from
the earth is made lighter. The keel
will be no shadow on the bottom Of
the airship. In fact, it will be like
the chameleon, and always like the
color Of its surroundings. In other
words, it will be invisible.
Baron Roenne's new terror Of the
skies will be as large as the Olympic.
The Olympic, II it could float in the
skies, would easily be detected at a
height Of four or five miles. yet
Roenne's dirigible will be absolutely
Invisible, even to telescopes. at a dis.
lance Of less than a mile!
It Is designed to carry 400 passen.
gers, or their equivalent in cargo. and
1t will be fitted with Is motors, devel.
oping nearly 1000 horse power. Pat:
ents have already been taken out in
England.
What this new sky scraper'' will
mean in time Of war can hardly be
realized. It could carry enough am
munition to utterly wreck any city,
or blow the worlds biggest navy to
pieces.-Pearson's Weekly.

In ireland.

Hunting absorbs keen sportswomen
In Ireland, and it is seldom that a frost
drives the Irish follower to hounds
from the countryside. Irish women are
renowned for their fearless prowess
In the hunting field. where the terrible
obstacles to be negotiated call for
nerves of steel, and it is neck or moth.
ing in the distressful country. says the
London Daily Graphic.
The fearsome stone walls, some
times overgrown with turf and mask
ing brook, appal all but the stout
est hearts, and even the most hard
ened sportswoman is known to quail
at the commencement of the hunt
ing season, experiencing the sensa-
ton of the heart in the mouth when
called upon to face the stiff going.
She finds her nerve returning, how
ever, after a day or so in the saddle.
The late empress of Austria used
to hunt regularly in Ireland, where
her reckless and brilliant horseman-
ship is still spoken of. With the
late Bay Middleton to give her a lead,
she was always in the first fight and
stuck at nothing. The famous happy.
go-lucky hospitality that marks the
Irish temperament is exemplified In
matters sporting, and open house is
kept by those having accommoda-
ton in good hunting district
The Irish colleen will dance all
night at hunt ball and turn up at a
distant meet as fresh as paint with
out going to bed at all, full Of life
and spirit, with wit and repartee bub-
ling like font. The Irish country
brings out all the dare devil Irish
nature, and there is little searching
for gaps or gates when the blood of
Irish horse and rider is up.
Ireland is not overrepresented in
the matter Of hunting, and Irish
packs are not by any means numer.
GUS, and may be reckoned to number
a couple of dozen. Some only possess
quite restricted number Of couples,
and but few hunt four or five days q
week, though an occasional by-day
may bring the total up. The Meath
hunts five days a week and is one OF
the famous hunts of the United King
dom, and the County Galway, the
Blazers, has four days week.
