a bullet in some vital part He went
over the edge of the machine and
headlong through space.
The airplane, left without a guide,

above a group of trees. Adrian was in
desperation. He made a leap and
landed among a network of branches.
Scratched and hreathless, he saw
the airship drift free of the trees and
descend straight into the embers of
a campfire. Then thousand thun-
ders seemed to break loose. The ig-
nited bombs scattered flame and fury
far and wide and the airship was shat

miniature Zeppelin. 1t was of the
dirigibie type, but the aerilons, wings
and control mechanism were those of
a monoplane. When the operator had
finished the imitation of the gas bag
he carried out a dozen or more rough
canvas sacks and loaded them into

BEST TIME TO CUT ALFALFA
To Preserve Plant in Good Veor 1t
Must Be Cut as Shoots FOR Sec
ond Crop Are Starting.

1t IS very easy, in giving advice, to
see only one or two things and not
see how the advice might run counter
to some other important things For
instance, we notice in some OF our
exchanges the advice TO Lex alfalfa
that is intended for hay for horses
stand till it is well along in bloom,
says Hoard's Dssryman. Now that
may do very well for the physiology of
the horse but not so well for the phys
iology of the alfalfa plant.
If you are to preserve the alfalfa in
good vigor, you must cut it just as the
shoots for the second crop are start
ing from the crown. The reason for
this is that at that time the mower
will not clip the heads off the COM
ing growth. If they are clipped they

WILDING'S DEATH REMOVED DASHTNG
 TENNIS CHAMPION

The death of Anthony E. wildfng as the result of a bullet wound re- ceived in battle in the Dardanel1es marks the passing Of one of the worlds greatest tennis players. His ranking was, of courses a matter of personal opinion, some experts p1ac- ing both Brooks and McLouglin ahead of theSNew ZeaIander, but in recent years his name never failed to appear in the lists of the first three tennis players of the world. Wilding's record in the Davis cup matches alone stamps him as one of the greatest racquet wie1ders of all time.
 WiIding made his initial appear sance as a Davis cup player in 1905. being at that time twenty-two years Of age. From that year until 1914 he played in six of these interna- -tiona1 team matches. being an impaoftant factor in the court maches of 19O5-6- 7-S-9 and 1914. During his period Wilding played thirty-eight matches of which he won 1twenty-nine and~lost nine. Among those who defeated Wilding are Mclaughlin, Wright and Larned.
