 "EIectricity," was all the little man said: then he smiled at his fair pas senger, whose hand still rested on the wheel, touching his.
 Electricity? She looked around at the simple machinery in sight. How do you generate it?"
 Santos laughed at the shrewd auee- tion. we don't. At least, not much of it." Then he suddenly closed his mouth like one who has realized he is saying too much.
 The clever woman read his thoughts. She was quiet for short time, then her hand released the wheel and fell in her lap. She sighed deeply.
 Are you happy, MT. Duprel?" was her sudden question.
 Santos was so surprised that he gave an involuntary pull at the wheel that took them from their course. Why do you ask this question, count ess?"
 Because a man like you ought to be very happy"
 "A poor. lonesome fellow, such as me?"
 Are you lonely? I would have sup posed that genius, who could con- quer the air and save his country. couldn't be lonely"
 Santos Duprel put on the automatic lock and let the wheel go. His instinct was aroused; something told him that this beautiful woman was playing with him. and he. the brave Santos Du- prel. turned toward the bewitching en- emy with eyes lit up.
 Countess Rosiny! Why are you playing with. me? I am not great man. I am not an inventor and con queror; l am only simple workman trying to give my best to my master. Should you tell all this to him, to Ma but why do you speak to me this way"
 His appearance was changed. His tone was clear and strong. His round face was pale.
 The countess looked at him as if fascinated by his outburst Tears ap- peared in her eyes.

 Can you pardon me. MT. Duprelf Will you still be my friend, my kind hearted friend" She offered both her hands to the unhappy man.
 The control signal rang. Santos jumped to the wheelj He was excited. but automatically slackened the Hawks pace. It almost fell down ward and with a graceful curve settled on the roof of the Crystal Palace.
 Astra was awaiting Rositta's arrival. and Santos watched the two women as they walked toward the elevator that took them down to their rooms. "At eleven tomorrow night,"5 called Rosit- ta, with friendly wave of her hand.
 Santos felt the encouragement in her manner and happily took the Hawk to it's resting-place.

LIVING ADVERTISEMENT Glow of Health Speaks for Postum

It requires no scientific training to discover whether coffee disagrees or not.
 Simply stop it for a time and use Postum in place of 1t, then note the beneficial effects. The truth will ap- pear.
 "Six years ago was in very bad condition" writes Tenn. lady. 'I suffered from indigestion. nervous ness and insomnia.
 'T was then an inveterate coffee thinker, but it was long before could be persuaded that it was coffee that hurt me. Finally decided to leave 1t of few days and find out the truth.
 '"The first morning I left of coffee had raging headache, so decided I must have something to take the place of coffee." (The headache was caused by the reaction of the coffee drug -caffeine.)
 Having heard of Postum through a friend who used 1t, bought package and tried 1t. did not like 1t at first but after I learned how to make 1t right, according to directions on pkg, I would not change back to coffee for anything.
 When I began to use Postum I weighed only 117 lbs. Now I weigh 170 and as have not taken any tonic in that time can only attribute my present good health to the use of Pos tum in place of coffee.
 My husband says am living ad. vertisement for Postum."

 Regular Postum = must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
 Instant Postum-is a soluble pow der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious bever- age instantly soc and 50c tins.

That evening Napoleon took Rositta to Ciryne, to his mother.
 She won the mothers sympathy at once. Her pleasant companionsh1p was a relief to the stately matron, as save the servants there were no other women on the island. It was she who watched over the precious plant dur ing the long and repeated absences of Napoleon.
 Notwithstanding the difference in their ages, they became good friends Rositta was anxious to see the manu- featuring plant, where the aerodro- mones were made, but she was not permitted to enter the workshop, as she had failed to obtain Napoleone permission to do so. He had promised to return for her within few days. or to send Santos. One balmy morn ing the two women were enjoying the sea breeze on the porch, when they saw the aerodromone approaching from the east. The great bird settled in its hangar gracefully. The two women went down the path to meet, as they supposed, Napoleon. But it was Santos Duprel, bringing two let ters, one from Napoleon to his mother and the other from Astra to the countess.
 Santos honest eyes glowed when he saw Rositta, who took pains to give him a friendly glance as she shook hands.
 Her letter said that Santos and the Hawk were at her disposal, and that Astra would be glad to see her again as soon as Mrs. Edison's condition permitted her to leave. She also in ital, but the mother knew that her son depended on her presence on the island, so declined
 Rositta expressed deep disappoint- ment when Mrs. Edison gave her req sons for not going back with Santos and the Hawk, but the chance to talk to Santos on the return trip suited her best. After some hesitation she decided to make flying trip to Wash ington the next day, assuring Mrs. Ed tson that she would stay only day.
 Santos received instructions to be ready to leave early in the morning. The little, round fellow was elated when be thought of the three hours alone with Rositta-
 His nights, since he had met Astra and Rositta, were restless. Rositta's many kindnesses especially gave him food for thought. He paid more at tention to matters of dress; he shaved his round. ruddy face every day. He even used perfume.
 It dazzled him to think of the trip to the capital with the countess for company.
 Early in the dewy morning Santos brought the Hawk to the cottage and waited for Rositta.
 A little later the wonderful machine leaped into the air and up and for ward with mighty flaps of the glitter ing wings.
 Countess Rosiny rose and went slowly forward to the man who was directing the flight of the great bird; the brain of the mechanism.
 She leaned over the railing that
 parated the cabin from the steering wheel and the various levers. How high are we now. MT. Duprel?" she asked.
 Santos looked at the aerograph: "2,527 feet, countess. Do you want to go higher?"
 "Oh, yes!"
 fThe Hawk darted up; turn of the wheel worked the wings, and electric sparks were seen in a steady stream.
 What wonderful machine this isl" whispered the countess in Santos ear. He had mastered his timidity

PREDIGESTED CORN

Moisture Essential to continu- ance of Fermemations That
 Make Fodder Palatable.

Why is it that when the corn plant Is cut up into small bits and packed in silo, perhaps with the addition of water. it comes out after while trans formed into a feed stuff essentially different from corn of the sams kind left outdoors, even though the latter may also receive an abundant wetting from the rain, questions Northwestern Agrtculturist. Why is silage succu- lent, mildly sour, and tender, while the plant outside becomes tough, dry and tasteless?
 The answer is that, as soon as the corn plant Is severed from the ground, and its life processes stopped, num- Der of chemical changes begin, such as the change of sugar into tactic acid the same that is produced in the sour ing of milk Air and light being ex- cluded by the tight walls and covering of the silo, and by the packing" of the silage under trampling and it's own weight, the moisture essential to the continuance of these chemical changes or -fermentations- is retained. heat fs generated, and the fodder under goes ripening process which. makes it palatable and easy of digestion In fact the shredded corn plant is, in measure, like the breakfast foods" which we enjoy SO much, "predigest- ed" The outside plant, on the con trary, exposed to sun and air, quick ly loses it's moisture, so that the chem ical changes cease, and it dries up" at last. almost to 8 point of worthless ness

LURBERMEK LOOK
FOR GOOO YEAR
Manufacturers Optimistic And
Activities In Building Lines ET.
pectsd-M Many Sssmllls To
Resume Operations

According to the monthly report
compiled a Jackson. Mississippi,
umbermer are looking tor a GOOD
wear IN 1914. In discussing the
situation at the Clpital City, lum-
bemen say;
A general resumption Of the mia-
inc industry IN Mississippi marked
the advent Of the Monday following
Christmas. Many plants that had
been shut DOWN for weeks steamed
up aeain. and even more will renew
operations in January.
IN spite OF continued dullneSS Of
market conditions, a spirit Of op,im-
ism continues to exist among manu-
iacturerS, and the general opinion
seems to be that 1914 is bound to
be a year Of unusual activities in the
building line. The bottom has
about fallen out Of prices, and any
change whatever is certain 10 be for
the better.
Considerable interest attaches to
the case OF the eastern railroads.
which are asking the interstate COM
merce commission TO grant them a
five per cent freight rate Increase.
The granting Of this increase will
put the railroads in such a financial
condition that they viii be enabled
70 make long delayed Improvements
in equipment and rolling stock and
funisha brisk humber demand from
somewhat unexpected quarter.
Stocks In yards through the North
and East are known to be low, and
a flood Of orders to I'LL present needs
would not be altogether surprising.
within the next few days.
Scarcely a one Of the big mills
which have been shut down will tail
to resume work January !, and this
Of itself is indicative Of the fact that
manufacturers consider better times
at hand. The long shutdown, ex'
tending in some cases from the mid
die Of November, has left stocks at
mills unusually low, and already d
scarcity is reported IN some Of the
cheaper grades Of material.
The car shortage has failed 4
figure longer in the situation.
