KNEW THE PREPAYMENT PLAN
Teacher of Philadelphia Gives Lessor
on Aeronautics Following Flight
of Balloon.

When the balloon Philadelphia II
passed over the city recently the chill
dren in one of the public schools were
at recess. A teacher who took advan
tage of the opportunity to give thu
children a practical lesson went on
into the school yard, and calling thu
children together, gave talk abou
balloons. Among other things she
told them that what they saw coming
down was sand, which they threw out
to tighten the balloon 30 it would e
up higher.
After they returned to the school
room she asked questions regarding
what they had seen. Among othel
things she asked: eff the man want
ed the balloon to go up higher and
the gas in the bag was not enough to
take it up, what would he do?" A
little youngster said, very seriously:
'Why, he would put a quarter il tbs
meter and get more gas

leaping fame, Paul saw, with startling
suddenness, the head and shoulders OF
white-bearded old man emerge from
the obscurity. 1t was the astrologer
whom, hidden as he was in the
shadows, Paul had not at first seen
He was incredibly old, and his aspect
was incredibly evil In the deep fur
rows stamped into his face one might
have read the story of a life given up
to wickedness. Paul shuddered at the
sight of the man, but could not turn
his eyes from this hideous apparition.
Evidently there vas more than in
cense in the bowl. for the smell of
fragrant coffee now assaulted Paul's
nostrils, and the secretary, stepping
toward the Jam, proffered him tiny
cup of the liquid. The prince grunted
and began slipping noisiiy. The other
cup Ramchundra handed to Paul; in
the darkness Paul could make out a
meaning look upon the secretary s
face. The mans hand, too, shook as
he handed 1t to him. Despite their IN
derstanding Paul seemed to sense
nothing to be done now, nor any going
back. He had trusted himself to Ram
chundra and must follow the path on
which he had entered. He tasted the
coffee cautiously; there was no flavor
or odor of any foreign drug, and
hashish, he had understood, was in
tensely bitter. Smiling at his fears,
he set the empty cup upon an inlaid
table, and saw Ramchundra obse-
quiously take the other empty cup
from the Jam. And now there re-
manned nothing but to wait until the
drug took effect on the unstable ruler.
Presently Paul's eyes became accus-
toned to the darkness. He saw the
dim figure of the old astrologer clear
~ outlined now, and the Jam, seated
motionless in his chair, and Ramchun-
ORA at his side. The princes lethargy
seemed to indicate that the drug was
beginning to take effect on him. Pres
emily the astrologer beckoned to the
three men to draw up their chairs
They did SO. Paul had expected that
the old man would address them in
his own language, of which he under

to be a man in full possession of his
senses, he will in reality be nothing
more than an automaton''
Paul nodded vaguely. The dimness,
the scent of the incense, the uncanni-
ness of his surroundings had reduced
him, also, to lethargic condition. He
could summon no resolution to his
aid. He tried to think connectedly,
but series Of dream visions fioated
before his eyes, and for all his efforts
he could see nothing but the two apes
chasing each other along the house
tops and the slim hand that opened
and closed the shutter He heard the
astrologer's voice from afar off.
"Our friend is somewhat wearied,"
he said. Perhaps, if l were to show
him the events of the Durbar, as they
VIII actually occur, photographed up
on the crystal by the protective power
of thought, he will be able to concen-
trate better"
"a good ideal" exclaimed the secre-
tary. His highness, my beloved mas
ter, will not awake for little while.
And / believe" he added to the astrol-
oyer, that you can show our friend a
complete panorama of the Durbar, as
it will appear, during the hundredth
part of a second?"
thine is not measured by mo-
ments," answered the astrologer SEN
tentiously, and stopped and picked up
the crystal. He handed it to Ram
chundra, who placed it in Paul's hand.
Then, to Paul's utter establishment
cut of the clear glass flashed forth
figures of men riding, camels and ele-
plants, and white forest of tents. He
uttered an exclamation Of amazement,
and the astrologer's soothing tones
fell on his ear.
'Have no fear" said the old,
grooming voice. "This is not magic,
nor any device of the Evil One. It is
nothing but projection of your own
thoughts, mirrored upon the glass,
and is a trick well known In many
western lands. Look, now! Look
closely, before the prince awakes!"
'It is merely a series OF mind
images" said the secretary, watching
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1913-11-06

though these figures were those In q
moving picture show. And in all this
there was no atom Of unreality, save
that he felt constrained and as if
gagged. He was impotent among
these crowds, a passive spectator, I'M
able to move or stir.
He was one of the procession now
and following among the long line Of
watchers. A company of soldiers
flashed into sight; white-turbaned
Sikhs, with curled boards, spotlessly
clad, holding their rifles suddenly to
the attention as mounted general
rode past. He bore some message,
evidently, for a thrill seemed to pass
through the crowd, and then-then, in
cloud of dust, preceded by mounted
men and followed by whole coterie
of attendants, King George and Queen
Mary passed in their carriage, while
deafening acclamations rent the air.
Darknessi The scene had changed
AS in the picture show, when a new
film passes before the rays, so this
new scene flashed into clear precision
before Paul's eyes. He was seated as
he had arranged to sit, upon the top
most tier of the great amphitheater of,
wooden benches that rose from the
ground opposite the pavilion in which
the coronation was to occur. Around
him were thousands upon thousands,
all waiting in deep silence for the
final act of the great ceremony. The
king was crowned, with his consort.
and they awaited the approach of the
feudal princes to pledge their loyalty.
And slowly up the dusty carpet-decked
road which led to the royal dais there
came, one by one, the feudal prince
lings, and one by one they bowed low
before these rulers Of alien race and,
placing their hands upon their hearts,
they vowed submission.
Suddenly Paul became aware that
he held a handkerchief in his hand.
His mind rushed back through fog
of bewildering dreams. What did this
portend? This handkerchief-did not
an empire hang upon the fall of it?
He looked down. There, far under
him, he saw the commander Of the

Paul curiously. "Note them well, Mr.
Lane, for this is, to all intent, dress
rehearsal Of the ceremony"
Paul leaned back In his chair and
stretched out his limbs luxuriously
All sense of strangeness had depart
ed; he felt only blissful ease, min
gled with which was a sense Of
utter peace. as though all his fears and
indecisions had yielded to the knowl-
edge of some secret power within him
which made success a certainty. He
looked into the glass.
He saw the white city of tents, the
gathering spectators. How real they
appeared! He could even distinguish
the expressions of amazed reverence
and excitement as the elephants slow
ly numbered past, each with its ma
bout, and each clothed in trappings of
silk and gold, with silver tips upon
It's massive tusks. Through the long
lanes of people they passed, followed
by camels; then horsemen rode,
white-turbaned, black of beard, very
sedate and dignifled. There were car
riages of silver and artillery of the
same metal, plated with gold. Dust
rose into the air and the hot MONDAY
sun cast shadows over the crystal
ball. exactly as though Paul stood in
the sun and watched among the spec
tators. And this, indeed, he might
have done, for now he was no longer
conscious of the room or OF the astrol-
oyer and the secretary and the sleep
ing Jam, and the ball itself had ex-
panded into a dome, as of the sky.
The professions passed before his
eyes, coming into perspective as

stood not a word; instead, he began
speaking In excellent English, glanc-
ing at a glass crystal which he held
in his hand.
1.-THE heavens are favorable" he be-
gan, in a low, croaking utterance.
Your project is already assured of
success. Look into the crystal"
He addressed himself to the jam,
who mumbled lethargically. His Sec
rotary took the glass and placed 1t in
his hand. 1t lay there for an instant
and then crashed down to the floor,
rolling, with uncanny precision, di-
rectly to the feet of the astrologer,
and remaining there.
"Sir!" pleaded Ramchundra. "Will
you deign to look into the crystal?"
No answer came, except a stertorous
snore. The Jam slept in his chair, his
eyes wide open, his hands limp at his
side.
Satisfied that his ruler was COM
pletely under the influence of the
drug, Ramchundra leaped to his feet
and his face underwent a remarkable
metamorphosis. He struck a match
and lit a small silver lamp upon the
table, then turned to Paul.
"The first part of our task is &C
complished," he said briskly. Now,
my friends, we have no time to lose.
In a few moments the immediate eff
fects of the drug will wear off. 1t
will be your task to instil into our
sovereign's empty-unusually empty
mind the understanding of what his
duty is tomorrow. Address him in as
peremptory fashion as you please
and have no fear; though he will seem

to enjoy and wrangle over their booty.
The shutter closed and the hand was
withdrawn. How many secret lives
were spent thus, in the women's quar-
tiers in the upper stories of these Ill
smelling, unsanitary, secluded houses!
1t seemed a place of mysteries. In
stinctively Paul's thoughts went back
to the unknown woman who had
drawn him from America to engage In
this series of Improbable adventures.
Every fiber of his being thrilled at
the thought of her. But he must not
let his thoughts linger there. When
his mission had been brought to sue
cessful termination, then he would
have earned the right to convert his
oft-repeated request to Rosny into a
command. Till then
He followed the Hindoo into an
apartment on the ground floor and
stumbled into almost complete obscur-
ity, except for the glow of small
brazier in one corner, in which in
cense was burning. Somebody came
forward and grasped his hand. 1t was
Ramchundra, and he led Paul to a
large, ornate chair, beneath the small
aperture high in the wall which served
for a window. In the chair sat a fat
man in long cloak, now thrown open
carelessly. This was the Jam of Nag
shipur, and beneath his outer garment
Paul could see the brilliant uniform of
his order, which his religion forbade
him to cast aside when he left the en-
closure of the palace. The Jam grunt-
ed and, paying Paul no further at
tention, fixed his gaze upon the
brazier. And now, behind the tiny,
