 The Dip and Finish
 Then comes the dip. A word of cau- tion from the pilot and you brace your self as the machine tips forward at a seemingly alarming angie, and you get a full view of the crowd immediately be- meath you. As the machine swiftly de- scends you see the people scatter in every direction. You feel again tlfat sinking sensation, but it passes as the aviator pulls a lever and you glide off in another direction. Then circling around like a great bird the aeroplane dips toward the ground and gracefully and easily descends and the trip is over

The pro- pellers slacken for moment or the mechanism of the steering gear sticks. the aeroplane tips downward and a sinking feeling steals over you. A sec- end later you feel the sure control of the steady hand at the helm as he pulls a lever backward or throws one forward and the squirnish feeling passes as you glide onward and upward m your aerial flight.
 The View
 As you ascend in great sweeping circles you see the beauty and grandeur of the great Jones valley as it lies beneath and around you. The landscape seems dotted with peaceful homes set in tue fragrant blossoms and emerald green of an early springtide.
 Here and there you see the clusters of houses denoting the many and prosperous suburbs of the great city,. ts towering buildings and churchly spires rising above the downtown section, while the palitial homes of the resident district seem en- veloped in a mantle of flowers and ex- panses of green.
 Like unto the points of a great star ~'na can see the smoke belching forth from the stacks of the giant industries lnat have brought industrial fame and material prosperity to this great district, and once in a while see the flares from the surrounding blast furnaces shoot up- ward in their operation.
 Then again as your eye leaves the scenes of industrial activity and city life, you see vast expanse of cultivated fields, where later the fleecy staple will ripen on It's slender stalk and rival the driven snow in its beauty and whiteness.
 All these things lie exposed before you. You realize as perhaps never before the bornteous manner in which kind provi- dnoe has lavished natural gifts on this favored section, and you see the many reasons for it's growth and prosperity.
 All this flashes over your minds eye much quicker than it takes to tell it. In gazing at the beauties of the land scape you see distinctly the upturned faces of the great crowds as you pass over them in your flight. By some un- known Marconi telegraphy you feel that they are more or less interested in your safety. and you would be less than human if the thought did not flash in your mind that you might be near unto the great divide
 This feeling soon. passes, however. and you cannot fail to admire the skill and

BOMB DROPPED
 IN WILSON CAMP

Trenton. N. J., April T.-(Special)-A bomb was dropped into the Wilson camp last night when Democratic State Com mitteeman Charles H. Gallagher of this city announced himself as a candidate for delegate at large on an anti Wilson ticket.
 This means a campaign against Gov erpor Wilson's candidacy for the presi- dential nomination and a bitter fight against his delegate at large. Gallagher is wealthy and popular. He was the first democratic leader in this part of the state to support Wilson for the gubernatorial nomination, but they are now estranged.

in San Francisco. But he liked the
ranch, and as soon as he got back to
the office he would open up negotia-
tons with Hillard.
The time passed, and he played on
at the game. San Francisco's atti-
tude toward Daylight had undergone
a change. While he, with his slashing
~buccaneer methods, was a distinct
menace to the more orthodox finan-
cial gamblers, he was nevertheless so
grave a n that they were glad
enough to let him alone. He had al
ready taught them the excellence of
letting a sleeping dog lie.

He had made no more o%vertures, dis
cussed no more books. He had no
active interest in her, and she was to
him a pleasant memory of what had
never happened, a joy, which, by his
essential nature, he was barred from
ever knowing. Yet, while his interest
had gone to sleep and his energy was
consumed in the endless battles no
waged, he knew every trick of the
light on her hair, every quick definite
mannerism of movement, every line of
her figure as e~xpounded by her tailor.

months or SO apart, he had increased
her salary, until now she was receiv-
ing ninety dollars a month, Beyond
this he dared not go, though he got
around it by making the work easier.
This he had accomplished after her
return from a vacation, by retaining
her substitute as an assistant. Also,
he had changed his Office suite, 50 that
now the two girls had room by them
selves. The more he saw Of her, and
the more he thought he knew of her,
the more unapproachable did she
seem to him. But since he had no in
tention of approaching her. this was
anything but an unsatisfactory fact.
He was glad he had her in his Office,
and hoped she'd stay, and that wSs
about ali.
Daylight did not improve with the
passing years. The life was not good
for him. He was growing stout and
soft, and there was unwonted fiabbi-
pess In his muscles. The more he
drank cocktails, the more he was COM
PEELED to drink In order to get the de-

no was glad to follow a friendly cow
path. This led him to a small frame
cabin. The doors and windows were
open, and a cat was nursing a litter
of kittens In the doorway. but no n
seemed at home. He descended the
trail that evidently crossed the can
yon. Part way down, he met an old
man coming up through the sunset.
In his hand he carried a pail OF foamy
milk. He wore no hat, and In his
face, framed with snow-white hair and
beard, was the rudy glow and n
tent of the passing summer day.
Daylight thought that he had never

How old are you, daddy?" he ouer-

"Eighty-four." was the reply. Yes.

for me. I've been right here In this

The old man chuckled, and Day
hight rode on, singularly at peace with
himself and all the world. 1t seemed
that the old contentment of trail and
camp he had known on the Yukon
had com back to him. He could not
shake from his ayes the picture of
the old pioneer coming up the trail
through the sunset light. He WAS GER
tainly going some for eighty-four. The
thought of following his example en-.
tered Daylight's mind. but the big
game Of San Francisco vetoed the

he had never seer so many books as
sembled in one place. Skins of wild

pine-board floor.
