Many Landings.

Whatever the route chosen, the dis
lance between controls east of, say,
Kansas City, will not be more than
Gus countries in the West the distance
between controls will be limited to be-
tween It's and 275 miles.
"The contest committee" says the
Aero club statement, proposes this
limitation for the following reasons 4:
To prevent excessive flying, making it
possible to every aviator to fly in this
initial long distance contest with safe
ty, and to approximate ordinary condi-
tons to be met In everyday practice.
In aerial training, carrying mall pas
senger carrying, etc.
ITO give larger number Of con-
trolls and enable the population of i'm
portant centers in different parts of
the country to see the competing aero
planes and become familiar with the
present possibilities Of aerial transpor-
tation.
ITO hold the contestants together as
Tar as possible.
Each competitor must expend a
minimum aggregate Of hours while his
machine is on the ground in the con-
trolls. These periods of II hours will
be called resting time No competi-
tor will be allowed to start until the
II hours resting time shall have
elapsed. A competitor may expend as
much time as he likes at the starting
control, but after once having been Of
ficially started from any control, the
whole time until he reaches the next
control will be counted as flying time.
Saturday, September 2.
"The contest will commence on Sat
urday, September 2, 1916, and viii fin
ish at latest on Saturday, September
80, at 7:3O p. m.
'The contest is open to competitors
of any nationality holding an aviators
certificate issued by the International
Aeronautical federation and the Aero
Club OF Americas yearly license, and
TO the militia, aero clubs, cities anC
any other organizations wishing t.
participate and who can enter a prop

Many Important Prizes.

Inc Aero CluD OF America, the
statement reads, "has offered first
prize of $4,000 to be awarded the avi-
ator winning the contest under the
conditions to be herewith described.
There will be about fifteen controls
Qanding stations) on the route, and
each city which is made a control will
give prizes, making a total of from
100000 to $150,000, from which fund
eight principal prizes and other spe-
cial prizes will be awarded-the first
eight as follows: First prize, $4,000;
second, $4,000; third, $4,000; fourth,
81, 500: fifth, $4,000; sixth, $500; sew
enth, $4,000; eighth, $500"
Special prizes will be given for the
best time between controls and for
the best demonstration with radio,
sending messages to land stations, for
the making of maps for the war de-
partment and Of Photographic films for
aeronautical maps of the first great
aerial highway.
The winner Of the Pulitzer trophy
will, of course, be the first aviator
who lands at the final control on the
Pacific coast. But when 1t comes to
the awarding the cash prizes certain
penalizations of time are to be con-
sidered for changes in the motor and
aerOplane parts of the machine dur
ing their transcontinental journey. A
set of these penalizations regarding
motor changes, repairs and alterations
has already been tentatively drawn up,
forming, as nearly as possible, con-
sensus of the suggestions Of entrants
and aeroplane makers.

at the most unexpected moments.
They may be blurred, they may be
clogged with the dust of neglect, and
faint from the rust of disuse, but they
are there like lines incised in marble,
to be deCiphered when the surface is
cleared.
So it was that John Doe, sitting in
the big library chair, peered and peer
ed into the dark places of his long
forsaken mind, until. at sudden turn,
he found two names: Jean! Tavy! 1t
was then that he raised up and gave
a great cry of anguish, and fell to the
floor.
He was Bow-Wow again when
Burke brought him TO, and he had
forgotten the fragments which John
Doe had remembered; but, later, he
sat up at his lonely dinner like John
Doe. Afterwards. in the lounging-
room, with his coffee and one of
Billy's cigars, he was stronger than
Burke had yet seen him.
why am 1 here?" he Unexpectedly
asked.
Il culdn't say. sir" replied Burke,
specializing on that false strength;
wondering how long it would continue
MIR. Lane brought you home last
night and told me to take care of
you until he came back"
Who is Mr.. Lane?"
'An engineering architect, sir. He

work. He's quite a young man: and
fine! You'll see him this evening,
hope"

gazed through the window at the long

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

Helen. what is it; l don't under
stand what you are saying. Knew
that you never quite approved OF
Carp, but l thought you knew that
there was no one else for me- ana ana
now that 1 can have him you don't
want me to be happy"
But 1 do. Frances, but it isn't
noble-it isn't big; he isn't your
he is bound to some one else, ana no
matter how slight that claim is, the
other woman has the law on her
side"
Frances stared at Helen mo-
ment. and then she suddenly began
to laugh and cry Historically.
"Oh, Helen: you thought that?
You believed that l was going away
with Carp without being married
Helen could not speak, but she
nodded. and then Frances pulled
Helen over TO the couch and the two
women had a good cry.
I'm not going to Carp that way,
dear" Frances said, softly when
the storm was over. Il am going 10
be his wife" She spoke the words
tenderly. reverently, and Helen
squeezed her hand spasmodically.
But l know why you think that
Frances went on, because l did al
most make up my mind to do 1t
once. and you blamed Carp for 1t,
didn't you. Helen? You thought he
how wrong YOU were"
Didn't he?" Helen questioned.
NO, he didn't want me that way
either. l know it sounds almost in
credible. but you don't know Helen,
what he has suffered and how
worthy he is of the best in life.
But he is free now, and we are going
to be married."
But Frances" Helen said softly,
'if you had that other thing in
mind. what happened to change you?
Something must have happened"
Something did happen, 1t was
Anne. That girl just somehow
made me want to be worthy of her
friendship, Helen. Isn't she
dear?"
And Helen. remembering how she
had fought against the intimacy be-
tween Anne and Frances, felt
strange twinge of conscience. If Anne
had not gone to live with Frances
everything might have been differ
ent, and as il was things were coming
out beautifully for everyone. And yet
theTe were some people who did not
believe in n divine providence.
