COSTLY METHOD OF REVENGE

drew Carnegie of a Somewhat
Humorous Incident.

Andrew Carnegie, in a recent inter
view on peace, said to New York
reporter:
"A lad of twenty killed man and
woman in Sarajevo. All Europe is now
fighting to avenge this wrong. Eng
land alone is spending $4,000 a min
ute, according to Sidney Webb. on gun
powder.
well, this is such an expensive way
to avenge wrong that it reminds me
of the man at the banquet.
"a man entered the c1oakroom, at
the end of a banquet, and began to
smash in silk hat after silk hat.
Hold on, boss! What TO yo' smash
in all dem high hats?' demanded the
attendant.
I'm looking for my own" the gen.
tleman answered. It's an opera hat
collapsible, you know. None of these
seem to be it.

worked upon the aeroplane. Durand
had brought the dirigible almost to
perfection. And, at the moment when
he was about to see his invention
adopted by the French army, he had
committed murder-a foul, mex
cusable murder while under the in
fluence of absinthe, to which he had
become addicted by reason of the
mental strain he had undergone.
He was shipped to New Caledonia,
but, after serving three years there.
he was pardoned and disappeared
from the haunts of his associates.
That was year ago, and since then
nothing had been heard of him.
Il want to do something for my
country" Durand explained.

plane division" answered Lamarche.
Durand laughed quietly. 81 do not
wish to become private aviator"
he said. Il have a plan by which you
can capture Fort Gleichen."
What is it?" asked Lamarche i'm
patiently He had had a thousand
plans submitted to him during the
past three months.

blow away all traces of it."
IF there Is a thousand pounds of
melinite to spare in France you shall
have it, provided you can convince
me of the feasibility of your scheme"
the general answered.

COUP THAT FAILED.
BY n. NJ. EeBERT.

Copyright 1914. by w. G. Chapman)
It was not the shock of arms. but
thirst, that threatened to force the
devoted city into surrender
For months the enemy had hurled
their lines against the fortress, only
to see the gallant troops retire,
decimated, baffied by the strong earth
works that promised to hold out in
definitely. And until the city fell the
forward march of the victorious army
could not continue.
General Lamarche was desperate
He could not leave the fortress in his
rear untaken and continue his ao-
vance toward the capital of the en-
envy, for that would mean that his
lines of communication would be sew
cred. And behind those walls the en-
envy was reforming, ready to renew
the war in all it's pristine vigor.
But for months no drop of rain had
fallen. The springs within the city
had run dry. The river had been
damned and diverted by the besieg
ers. And there remained hardly three
days supply of water.
That the city was in need of water
General Lamarche knew; but he did
not know how near it was to surren
der. And every days delay was worth
a thousand men to those within.
1t was at this juncture that he gave
audience to the man who had begget
for an interview daily during the pas
month.
Let the fellow come in" he sait
reluctantly to his aide We'll. sir ?
he demanded, as the ragged, wild
looking fellow stood before him.
MY name is Durand," said the
man.
General Lamarche started slightly
"The aviator?" he asked.
Durand bowed his head.
Lamarche, like every Frenchman
knew about Durand. He had been on
of the foremost men to develop tn
dirigible gas-balloon. While other
