Stevenson Planned Much Work.

Considering Robert Louis Steven
sons short life, he wrote great deal,
but he planned still more. A writer
who has been delvlng Into his record
offers what he says is hitherto un-
published list of "two novels and
tales" which Stevenson meant to
write, but never did. 1t runs thus |:
The Indian Mutiny, Saranac Lake,
1888; Cannanmills, probably Saranac
Lake, 1888; The Rising Sun, at Sea
(Pacifc), 1890; Dyce of Ythan, Samoa,
1892; The Shovels of Netwon French.
Samoa, 1892; The Beach, ombers, Sa-
moa, 1893; Sophia Scarlet, Samoa,
1903; The Owl, Samoa, 1898; Death in
the Pot, Samoa, 1893; The Sleeper
Awakened, Samoa, 1898.
Stevenson planned other work not
in the line of fiction. They were: A
Biography Of the Duke Of Wellington,
a Biography of Hazlltt, a history Of
the Indian Mutiny, an English Gram
mar, to be illustrated from the Eng
lish Classics. He also began and, for
sone reason or another, never complet-
ed these stories:
! The Great North Road, Bourne
mouth, 1884; The Young Chevalier,
1893; Heathercat, Samoa, 1893; The
.Go-Between, Samoa, 1893; st. Ives,

DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER
Aircraft Promises Such Swift and Easy
transportation That Peoples viii
Not Be Rooted In Soil.

If you went in the ordinary way
from the Italian city Turin to Eng
land, you would change trains three
times cross the channel by boat, force
yourself to be patient while locomo-
tives coaled and took on water, pas
sengers embarked or alighted along
the railway, and customs officers went
through their fussy examinations. A
proper allowance of time, we would
say, would be SO hours.
The other day, Captain Lauriat of
the Italian aviation corps made the
journey by airplane in II hours and
2 minutes. For him, there was no
such thing as frontiers, no delays ex-
cept those he himself willed, no Off
Gals in seedy uniforms to make a
mess Of his baggage unless he selected
to let them.
1t Is the idea Of internationalists
that Wen have a world state when
everything Is so mixed that there Is
no Strengthening 1t out by national
command, when borders can be
crossed as one would county lines,
when transportation Is so swift and
easy that no peoples can be or will
desire to be rooted in the soil. Well,
should this come about, the world has
the instrument which will compass it.
1t is the flying machine.-Toledo

CHAPTER XVI.
The Crash.

The several days following Dawes
unexpected call at Las Palmas Alaire
spent in delightful reverie. She had
so often wrestled with the question OF
divorce that she had begun to weary
Of 1t. She gave up trying, at length,
and for the time being rested content
In the knowledge that she loved and
was loved. A week passed while she
Rugged her thoughts to her breast, and
then one evening she rode home to
learn that Ed had returned from San
Antonio.
But Ed was Ill, and he did not APP
pear at dinner. 1t had been years
since either had dared invade the 9TH
er's privacy and now. inasmuch as her
husband did not send for her, Alaire
did not presume to offer her services as
nurse. AS matter of fact, she con-
sidered this quite unnecessary, for she
felt sure that he was either suffering
the customary after-effects Of visit to
the city or else that he lacked the
moral courage to undertake an expla-
nation of his hurried flight from the
ranch. In either event she was glad
he kept to his room.
When Austin made his appearance,
on the day following his return, his
hleared eyes, his puffy, pasty cheeks,
his shattered nerves, showed plainly

Sulphur and rheumatism.

One of England's most distinguished
physicians has just reported valuable
piece of information that he learned
from cosby old lady who was nd
dicted to the habit Of giving medical
advice to her acqualntances, says the
Los Angeles Times, She gave some OF
this advice to one Of the learned physl-
clans patients who was suffering from
rheumatism In the hands, suggesting
that the patient put sulphur In her
stockings" The patient took the ad-
vice and the rheumatism in the hands
disappeared; also n silver ornament
worn on the patients wrist turned
black.

enough how he had spent his time. AL
though he was jumpy and irritable, he
seemed determined by an assumption
of high spirits and exaggerated friend
liness to avert criticism. Since Alaire
spared him all reproaches, his efforts
seemed to meet with admirable sue
cess. Now Eds opinion of women was
not high, for those with whom he ha-
bitually associated were of small in
telligence; and, seeing that his wife
continued to manifest complete in
difference to his past actions, he de-
cided that his apprehensions had been
grOundless. If Alaire remembered the
Guzman affair ut all, or If she had sus-
pected him of completely In it, time had
evidently dulled her suspicious, and he
was little sorry he had taken pains
to stay away so long.
Before many days, however, he dis
covered that this indifference of hers
was not assumed, and that in some
way or other she had changed. Ed
was accustomed, when he returned ex-
hausted from debauch, to seeing In
his wife's eyes strained misery; he
had learned to expect in her bearing
a sort of plying, hopeless resignation.
But this time she was not in the least
depressed. On the contrary, she APP
peared happier, fresher, and-younger
than he had seen her for long time.
1t was mystifylng. When, one morn
ing, he overheard her singing in her
room, he was shocked. Over this phe-
nomenon he meditated with growing
amazement and faint stir Of resent
ment in his breast, Tor he lived a self
conferred life, considering himself the
pivot upon which revolved all the af-
fairs Of his little world. To feel that
he had lost even the power to make
his wife unhappy Argued that he had
overestlmated his Importance.
AT length, having sufficiently recov-
cred his health to begin drinking again,
he yielded one evening to an alcoholic

The Caroline war" was q border
