COLUMBUS, N. M., April 25.-A vivid story of the accident in the mountains of Chihuahua to the aero plane of Lieutenant H. A. Dargue and Captain R. H. Willis, and the subsequent trek of the pilot and ob- server to the eXpeditionary field base was brought to the border by avia- tors today. For forty-five hours the two men, half crazed by their in Juries and hardships, marched over two mountain ranges and through d desolate Villista- infested country.
 At five o'clock on the morning of April l9 the fliers rose through q thick fog bank to start on a specia. scouting mission. According to the story after flying through the passes and rocky defiles, of the Sierra Madres for four hours they found themselves confronted with a jagged mountain peak rising sheer before them. Unable to develop sufficient engine power to overcome the cuppy air and unable to land because of the nature of the terrain, they threw their plane forward in the air time after time, as a swimmer attempts tC | breast the waves, in a vain attempt l to climb the peak. ! Suddenly the propeller stopped re- volving and the machine fell. crump- 1 ling the plane on it's left wing ant l burying the two fliers in the debri, on the mountain slope 100 feet below How long they remained that way even the men themselves did no know. Finally they eXtricated them selves and found that their injuries while painful. were minor.

She sat down in the parlor of the
boarding house to think over affairs.
She was deep among her mental alb
stractions, when a CHEEKY hail caused
her to start up to face Ward Ridley.
He was a fellow boarder, a struggling
young newspaper artist.

desolate story. She had truly SYM

had gone Susie felt that she had at
least one good friend in the world.
Then came further distress for the
devoted Susie. She returned to her
old position, but only for week. For
q month poor Susie was down with q
contagious fever.
She was wan and debilitated when
the consuming fever left her. Her
pale cheek flushed as gradually her

KEEPING THE CHILD STRAIGHT
Wise Advice on the Subject 10 That
Given by Writer in Chicago
Newspaper.

When children are prevented from
having good time at home they will
go where their high spirits will have a
chance.
1t is up to you to make your home a
place where the children will have
their best time
If you do. you will find less desire
on their part to leave it.
1t may cost little money; the noise
may be annoying to you. but isn't a
little money and little noise small
price to pay to keep the kiddies
home?
When children are much on the
streets or in questionable company is
it any wonder that they acquire bad
habits?
To keep your children sweet, pure
and honorable should be your constant
aim.
Before you become parent you
should consider that you will have to
make many changes In your mode of
living; that you will have many vexa.

make up to you for all you must deny
yourself.
Nothing is so sweet as the heart of

Different Matter.

1t was the first night of the panto-
mime, and Jack took his seat in the
pit next to a lad about the same age
as himself
Say, mate, can you smoke in
here?" he inquired, when he had made
himself as comfortable as he could.
NO." briefly replied his neighbor.
A few minutes afterward Jack saw
others smoking, and. looking about,
discovered that there were no prohibit
tory notices on the walls, so again ad-
dressed the quiet one:
Il thought you said you couldn't
smoke in here?"
81 did not say you couldn not smoke
here. said l couldn't, for-here he
jerked his thumb towards the woman
on his far side, and whispered-"my
mother won't let me-"

All through his delirium Ralston
was family conscious of a woman g
face bending over him, with look of
compassion that TRANSPORTED it. Again
and again. as he came weakly back
from the fog of delirium into conscious
ness, he would realize her presence
and feel the cool hand on his burning
forehead
When at last he opened his eyes to
the realization Of his position he saw

not the face he had imagined.
Are you feeling better?" asked a
soft voice.
Ralston tried to answer, but he was
too weak to speak. And, lying there
he began to remember the circum
stances Of the accident.
He had gone West three years be.

FIGHT Patron Was Weary.

Billy Gibson, who conducted a small
boxing club. told of a bout be-
tween Montana Dan Sullivan, a
middleweight. and a rough. rug
ged fellow who was noted for
his punching powers. but who was
rather slow afoot. Montana Dan ap-
parently held his opponent in great re-
spect. He would approach the rough
lad cautiously, make a light lead at
him, and then skitter away to a far
corner of the ring. This went ON for
a short time. with the crowd watch
ing silently. until finally Dan reached
out a quick left and jabbed the rough
one lightly on the chin. That's right,
Dan," came a thin, piping and very
weary voice from the cheapest seats,
That's right! Antagonize him, Dan;

the charm of the peaceful country had
chung about him, and he realized that
nature had healing balm for his
wounded heart.
He had known that Mrs. Symon, a
widow Of culture, had taken up the
homestead adjacent after her hus-
bands death, preferring the solitary
life in the wilds to a struggle in
city; but he had not chosen to see
any woman, and on the rare occasions
when he saw her, as he rode past on
his way to the post, he only raised
his hat and turned his face away.
So he had lived three years, alone,
save for the occasional visit Of
neighbor, or the appearance of some
wanderer at his sod cabin. He passed
for a morose man, as, indeed, he was.
Nobody intruded on his life. Each
man had his own interests in that
wild region.
He had been riding to the post. ten
miles away, when his horse stumbled
and threw him. He had sustained in
ternal injuries, but no bones were
broken. The worst thing was severe
conclusion of the BRAIN and for three
weeks he had been semiconscious, liv-
ing in a world of delirium.
1t was odd that in the place Of the
woman who, till then, had occupied
his heart, he should have pictured
that face that bent compassionately
above him. The force OF the delusion
had gripped his heart; now. on awak
ening. he was almost glad to find that
1t was a dream; and yet he knew that
the image persisted. II was ex.
traordinary that he should have i'm
agined what could never be in the
face of Mrs. Symon.
For days he lay there, gradually
recovering his strength. 1t amazed
him that anyone should be so kind.
Ralston was thirty and Mrs. Symon
not too old for his expressions of graf
itude to bring a warm flush to her
face
Gradually the motherly attitude
seemed to vanish. In place of 1t was
very womanly sympathy, certain
equality that set Ralston thinking
hard.
After ALL man could not live alone
forever And this woman was very
kind, kinder than any he had ever
known. She would assuage his lone
illness. and something told him that
she was not Indifferent to him.
During the days of his convalescence
he told her much about his past, and
what he did not tell her she surmised.
1t was only when he approached the
subject which had begun to possess
his thoughts that she nervously
checked him.
do you know how old | am, Mr..
Ralston?" she asked, with laugh of
embarrassment. Forty"
1t did check him. as it was meant to
do, but only because he meant to
make no error this time. A wife ten
years his senior! Well. such things
had been. He resolved that he would
ask her.

The item had come to Susie while

as Of the presents and items as to the
honeymoon trip and the like. How
was she to know that the bridesmaid
and best man were almost perfect
hoax and it had cost Susie her posi-
ton.
She got a directory and found the
address of this Mr. Randall. There
was gloom in her heart, but she crap
pied with the duty Of the moment in her
usual determined, businesslike way.
Susie thought out all she would say as
she was shown into the office of Mr..
Randall. He was bright. handsome
young fellow. She had noticed that
at the wedding. He stared little
and looked perplexed and embarrassed
as Susie told her story.

trouble to explain the mixup." said
Randall "Of course some thought

be rare hoax to give in that false in
formation. By the way. a thought

deal. ! know Miss Armour must be
troubled and chagrined over the af-
fair. BY the way" and Randall bright
ened up under the influence Of quick
suggestion-"you couldn't clear my
skirts and make Miss Armour feel
right to me. that is IL she feels wrong
about 1t by calling on her and telling
her what you have told me, could

Why, Of course Susie would do that.
and the young man pondered. To the
observant Susie he acted little wor-
ried over what had been done and
evinced sort of delight in being able
to discuss the situation with Miss Ar
mour.
Il believe" he said finally Il be-
leve / will accompany you to Miss
Armour and will-er-introduce you.
So they went together and Susie
went over her story again to the
blushing young bridesmaid Randall
had learned of the penalty she had
been called upon to pay for the inser-
tion of that fatal line. He even asked
her address.
Il have some friends in the news
paper line" he told her. 1t seems
pretty hard that you should lose your
position for complication in no sense
your making"
Miss Armour was kind, indulgent,
almost sisterly TO Susie. She took her
address.
Il wonder IL l have suggested an
idea to those two" soliloquized Susie
with a whimsical smile as she wendell
her way homewards. Then her own
troubles brought a cloud of gravity to
her fair face.

Care of the Piano,

Half the pianos Of this country catch
winter colds exactly as we do They
get hoarse or have cough or a stiff
note or some similar complaint, which
cannot be cured by home remedies,
but which requires tedious and expen-
sive doctoring. In order to prevent
these avoidable ailments a piano
should be kept in a moderately warm
room. where the temperature is even,
say 60 or 20 degrees, the year round
not cold one day and hot the next. The
instrument should not, however, be
too near the source of heat. 1t should
be kept closed and covered with felt
cloth when not in use, particularly in
frosty weather. Always place the piano
close 10 but not against an inside wall.

Yet, with her woman's intuition, she
postponed the matter until Ralston
was convalescent, till ne was able to
hobble about the house. Yet each
knew that the other was acting part.
and that it was only a matter of time
until the words were spoken.

"A daughter" unused Ralston. He
had not thought of that Somehow, it
seemed mpossible-this sweet-faced,
youngish woman, with a child
"She has been living in the city
until l could make a home for her,"
continued Mrs. Symon. She has been
here once or twice, and she is COM
ing to live with me next week" She
laid her hand on his arm. Il want you
to wait till you have seen her." she
continued.
Ostensibly the words meant that
Ralston was to postpone his departure
until Lillian had come; but. actually.
he knew they meant that until then
nothing was to be said OF marriage.
Yet it was with difficulty that he
could restrain himself, for his love
had again given Mrs. Symon the as

he felt that he could with her attain

laugh.
Ralston drove to the depot, and
presently a fresh-faced young girl got
down from the train and glanced
about her. Ralston went up and stood
staring foolshly at her. 1t was the

word had been spoken Ralston felt his
heart leap up with ecstacy. She was
his. He blessed his stars that moth

knew-Lilian knew. He felt that with
perfect instinct. They were born for
each other, each was destined for the
other.
And the mother was forgotten, and
two young people drove along alb
sorbed in one another. Their glances
at first shy, became more ardent
Ralston put out his hand and closed
it on the girls warm fingers.

She nodded shyly.
1T was you, then. whom l saw in
my dreams?'
She nodded again. And suddenly
he drew her to him and pressed his
lips to hers. And all pretense seemed
ludicrously absurd In the face of this
elemental and overmastering passion
that had sprung up between them.
In silence they drove the last stage
Of the journey. When at last they
stopped before the cabin they de
scended like people in dream. Mrs
Symon was sitting in front Of the
door; she had seen and interpreted
the look upon each face.
AS they went in she said in a low
voice:
Are you not glad that l told you
to waltz
yes, am glad" he answered help
lessly. Then, with sudden pity:
And you? And you?"
"Oh, II" she asked, with shrug Of
her shoulders. Il have had my day

Taken on the average. the rate of
