yard. Other messengers, GREATNESS

where the council sat, and where the
old king. propped up In bed, waited
and fought terror.
His eyes, weary with many years OF
ruling, of dlsnppointments and bitter
ness, roved the room. They came to
rest at Inst on the photograph of a
young man, which stood on his G q
side table.
He was a very young man, In n uni

There was q dog beside him, and It's

old, and because there were few peo-
pie TO whom n king dares to speak his
Utmost thoughts, he frequently spoke
to the photograph. The older he
grew, the more he felt, sometimes, as
though II knew what be said.
"If they've got him" he said now

vested In n tightly twisted rubber. One
OF the wings was bent. Ferdinand
William Otto Strengthened 1t, and
looked around for the owner.
A small boy was standing under the
next gas lamp. "Geew he said In
English. "Did you see 1t go that

Prince Ferdinand William Otto eyed
the stranger. He was about his own
age, and WIS dressed In n short pair
Of corduroy trousers, much bloomed ut
the knee, q pair Of yellow Russia
leather shoes that reached we'll to his
calves, and. over nil, n shaggy white
sweater, rolling almost to his chin. On
the very back Of his head he had the
smallest cap that Prince Ferdinand
william Otto had ever seen.
"This Is the best time for flying"
ke said, In his perfect English. "All
the exhibition flights are at SHUTDOWN"
The boy walked slowly over and
stood looking down at him. "Yot ought
to see 1t fly from the top of Pixies
Peak !" he remarked. He had caught
sight Of the dcspised derby, and his
eyes widened, but with instructive
good breeding he ignored It. That's
!. Pixies Peak up there"
He indicated the very top OF the land
Of desire. The prince stared up.
How does one get up?" he querled.

Prince Ferdinand William Otto
stared with new awe ut the boy. He
found the fact much more remarkable

the strange boy to be his guest. But

The other boy laughed. "Oh. gee
You come with me. II won't cost any,

1 MOTORED PLANES
WILL CARRY 3,TONS
America To Send Fleet Of
Monster BOmbers to

BY HARRY Q. HUNT.

WASHINGTON. July s. - Monster
airplanes Of a hitherto unheard.of
powr and carrying capacity are being
designed by Uncle Sans aviation ex.
prts as the next step in our aviation
program.
These new planes, TO be used for
night bombing purposes, will be OF
500. 1900 and 1.60O-horse-power. and
will be able to carry up to three tons
Of high explosives. They will be driv.
en- respectively by two, three and four
Liberty motors each.
Work on the design OF these planes
may properly be begun now. as actual
production Of the Liberty.motored day
bomber Is now coming along In better
shape. One factory alone, in the last
wee kin June, averaged more than 20
completed De Haviland bombers each
day. the weeks shipments from this
plant numbering 14O planes. All went
direct to France, and each was com.
pletely equipped with Liberty motor,
synchronized and flexible machine
guns. bomb-carrying apparatus. etc.
This factory. which Is months ago
was not yet conceived, today is turn.
ing out more planes than any other air.
plane factory In the world. But its
output Is to be practically doubled by
another still greater plant that Is just
now getting into production. while a
score Of smaller plants will each turn
from ) to IL planes daily into our &C.
cumnlating alrplane reserves.
Already within year we have pro-
duced 5000 alrplanes in this country.
This numbr can be doubled, within
the next year.
10 addition 10 the larger planes for
night bombing work. we also are pre-.
pairing to tprn ont a great number OF
smaller combat planes. These will be
equipped with an eight.cylinder Liber.
" motor. instead Of the l2-cylinder
Liberty BY which our present two-seat.
or planes are driven. The Liberty
twelve Is now being produced In guam.
titles sufficient to meet all immediate
neds. and production OF the Liberty
