Air Brakes for AeropIanes.

A highly ingenious device is about
to be embodied in a new British aero.
plane now nearing completion. A diff
ficult problem, which has always con-
fronted the aeroplane designers, has
been that of enabling machines to
land at reasonably slow speed and
yet fly as fast as possible. The neces.
sity of this provision may be gagged
from the fact that the modern aero
plane, with its full load, weighs the
better part of ton, and that the
usual flying speeds range from sixty
to eighty miles an hour. Accordingly,
Mr.. A. v. Roe, the well-known de-
signer, has adopted the expedient of
providing his latest biplane with what
he termed "air brakes" These con-
sist of flaps hinged to the rear OF the
planes, capable of being turned at
right angles to the direction of flight,
with the object Of enabling the pilot
to reduce his speed materially pre-
paratory to alighting.

And when l finally gave out, helpless
to advance another inch, my face came
down hard on slab of stone beside
the chimney. She uttered a low sob of
despair, and left me an instant.

NO, no-only you will need
strength; it will only take a minute
now. See, monsieur"
She gripped the fat stone against
which l had fallen, pryics it with the
broken blade of an Indian knife that
lay on the floor, until her fingers
found hold, and ended it up against
the chimney. A narrow black opening
was exposed. / stared down with lack
ulster eyes, startled, but unable to
realize the purpose. Driven by fear
she wasted no time in either explana-
ton or urging. Doubtless my face told
its own story, and made her desperate

CHAPTER XIII.
The Help of MademoIseIIe.


The sound of voice speaking, ap-
parently far off, was the first thing of
which l was dimly conscious The
language was French, and, for what
seemed long time, no word sounded
familiar. My mind was blank of any
distinct impression, although there ap-
peared to float before me, in recollec-
ton of some former existence, the
face of mademoiselle. Her wonderful
eyes were gravely smiling through a
strange mist that appeared to hide all
else in its circling folds. l could not
get away from their silent pleading,
their invitation. Then somehow that
speaking voice became hers, and
picked out a word here and there. de-
tached, meaningless, and yet recogniz-
able. l struggled to arouse myself to
her actual presence.
The struggle must have been ply
steal as well as mental, for l became
conscious of pain, sharp pang shoot
ing through my body, as If knife had
been twisted In a deep wound. The
agony brought me wide awake, my
eyes open, staring about, yet scarcely
realizing where dream and reality met.

To Strengthen PettIcoat.

Paste a piece of thin muslin the
same color as the skirt and about
IL inches wide on the wrong side all
the way around the skirt. Sew in
with rather large stitches, but firmly
enough to hold well. If stitched or
sewed too tightly, it might start
breaks in the silk. When the silk be-
gins to wear, as it does eventually, the
worn places may be darned to the
muslin.
