where. The colonel was most pune
tilious In dressing his part and Meade
and Abbott were both scrubbed to
within an inch of their lives, but.
climbing about the bridge, their hands
were scratched. roughened. stained and
torn. Aside from that, Meade was GER
tainly most presentable, and old Alb
bott, in spite Of his Indifference to
such matters, looked the able and pow

The conversation at dinner was at
first light and frivolous.

"Yes," laughed Meade. I'VE should
have brought along our granite ware

from the dreadful fear that we are 60

others as to her. '1but this gives every
promise Of lasting its time."
"You know" observed Curtiss, "there
was some question in my mind about
these big compression members. When
first studied your fathers drawings,
I wondered II he had made the lacing
strong enough to hold the webs"
