tree was a large oval mirror
whose deep reflections told
the gazer truthfully of the ac-
t;ons Of the beautiful ladies
and gentlemen so appropri-
ately gowned and aueustIy
uroomed. From the tour cor

were strung in streamers and

Cattle Market Is Better
Quality considered the market for
cattle may safely be considered frac-
tionally higher for the week at North
Portland. There was a smaller run
during the week and especially so on
Monday which is always the big
marketing day of the week.
While no sales in the cattle divis-
ion were made above 81 during the
week, the stuff that brought this
amount was not worth perhaps more
than $6.SO@6.85 during the previous
week. The stuff that brought 81 dur
ing the previous week was absent
from the trade. during the last six
days
Cattle supplies in the interior are
limited and it would not therefore be
surprising II values stiffened up some
what within the immediate future.

The Radium Flyer
BY CHARLES +. JOHNSON.

caught a glimpse of some stretches
of purple that | had never, or no one
on this earth, had ever seen before.
Il had invented a machine to travel
through space, which I operated by
radium rays. and in this l went to
Venus. I found it a strange, gloomy
world, covered with intelligent in
habitants. but who were rather primi-
tive. Strange to say, the poles were
hot and the equator cold. We'll, |
found that the purple stuff was a
iell-like substance that covered a wide
area at the pole ! brought some of
this home and found that il was a
cure for all diseases, especially brain
diseases, and that this cure was Won
derful. ! had brought so little back
with me that | diluted it. On the
real stuff l could recover the professor
in one week, but now / am all but
out of the stuff, and / cannot go and
get more. So what will l do?'
The boys were dumbfounded They
were. certainly surprised by the turn
of affairs, but they were equal to it.
Let Tom and | go to Venus for the
stuff" cried Larry. you game,
Tom?"
Eyes. I am ready to 60" answered
Tom, ''if the professor is willing"
Professor Turner arose, and a light
of pleasure was in his eyes. you
boys are sports,' he cried, 'and if you
really mean it, | will let you so in
my flyer"
1--WE mean it," answered Tom.
"We'll start now. if you want us to"
The boys were daring, it is true.
They were about to attempt a very
great task that would make even the
bravest man falter a moment.
Professor Turner told them that
they should start that night, and that
they were to be gone not more than
three weeks. and if they were, there
would be little chance for Professor
Ward. The rest of the day was spent
in stocking the professors machine
with enough food to last them a
month. The professor taught them
how to operate the Wizard, and as
they both understood the workings
OF the Mercury" Wards craft. it
came easy to them.
At o'clock that afternoon they
embarked and after having carefully
followed the directions of Turner,
they said goodby and started out on
one of the most amazing Journeys
ever thought of.
The craft was rather small. and
they would be cramped but luckily
the professor had installed "A heating
system. and he also had a little
dynamo to generate electricity and
a machine that kept the air in the
car pure and fresh. Venus had an
atmosphere that was almost the same
as our own, SO they had no cause to
worry.

CHAPTER VII.
The White EaIcon.

So summer faded into autumn, winter
came and went, and spring, after eX-
hibiting more than usual capricious-
ness was drifting again into summer,
AT last. on a certain afternoon about
the end of May. ! put the finishing
touches to the machine upon which l
staked my hopes of reaching the
pirates stronghold if 1t were dlscoV-
erabIe. She was a beauty built to
carry five passengers besides the
aviator. all white, and her planes
semi-transparent, so that l hoped TO
he all but invisible a thousand feet
or SO up in the air. Her motor was
almost noseless, and the Duvai-
Smedley rapid-fire gun which con-
stituted her armament was mounted
in such a way as to give the widest
possible range to her revolving point.
AS the last rays of the setting sun
gilded her planes, she looked ike
nothing so much as a white-winged
bird of prey, and then and there l
Christened her the White Falcon.
Stepping back to review my handi-
work, my breast swelled with all the
love and pride of the sailor Tor MS
ship, the inventor for the creation OF
his brain. She was the last word IN
heavier -than-air craft. and ! was her
creatori Her trial trip was yet to be
made, but not a shadow of doubt
about her air worthiness assailed me.
I knew, / knew; l could see 1t IN
every line of her; and though the
wind had been blowing a gale from
the northwest all day, and seemed to
increase rather than lessen as the
sun went down, | resolved that the
trial trip should be made that very
night.

Uncle Harry's Talk,
UNCLE MARRY EXPLAINS ABOUT ANcoNA

As Uncle Harry entered the front
room and reached for the light but
ton two figures rushed at him from
behind the hallway curtains and be-
fore You could say Jack Robinson
they had grabbed him by both legs.
Uncle Harry, his coat half off and
half ON. braced himself to withstand
the attack.
'IIcrc, here" he cried, what are
you boys up to?" And he laughed as
Ire wrapped his coat about their heads
and threatened to smother them. A
few moro efforts ON the part of the
boys and then all was quiet.
"Whew!" said Jimmy as he un-
wound himself, his eyes sparkling.
Let mo get breath of air." Joe,
too, was struggling to get out from
the folds of Uncle Harrys greatcoat.
What were you?" asked Uncle
Harry. "Assassins?"
No" answered Joe, between puffs.
Submarines"
Il see" said Uncle Harry, land |
suppose | was an ocean liner. You
forget | carry arms--and know how
10 Use them" His eyes twinkled.
But come on i'm the library There 5
something about submarines | want
to tell you. | want to explain the
sinking of the Ancona."
Good" said Jimmy. 81 want to
hear about that. The newspapers have
been full Of it"
THE Ancona." echoed Joe. "That
was the ship torpedoed in the Medi-
terranean, wasn't it?"
Yes" said Uncle Harry, zone of
them. According to reports the COM
mander of the submarine apparently
fired n number of shells at the ship
after it had come to a. stop and tor
pedoed it while there were still a
large number of persons on board. The
United States sent a vigorous note of
protest to Austria demanding that
Austria disavow the act, make rep
aration for the lives of the Ameri-
cans who were lost and punish the
commander of the submarine"
"What does 'disayow' mean?' asked
Joe.
1T practically means apologize
If a man steps on my foot in the
trolley car, he will probably say, I
beg you pardon. I didn't mean to
step on your foot That's an apology.
If a nation like Austria does some
act that offends another nation like
the United States, and wants to apol-
ogize. it sends a 'disavowal'
"What does PREPARATION for the lives
OF Americans mean?' asked Joe.
"It means a money payment to the
families of the persons who We're
killed.
.Then," said Johnny, "after the
Austrian submarine attacked the An
coma, the United States sent a note to
Austria asking Austria to apologize.
