A search is being made through
out Nye county for Frank Meg uire,
a miner of Tonopah, who disappear
ed a few days ago. He had been
drinking heavily and it is believed
that he wandered off and met death
from exposure. When he disap-
peared he had between $500 and
$500 in his pockets and it Is also
feared that he met with foul play.

PER|LS Of AIR
ARE DESCRIBED
FLYERS ON FIGHTING FRONTS
LEARN TO DODGE
MISSILES

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Dec.
8. - The anti-aircraft barrage is
today the most dreaded enemy
weapon which the airman has to face
in his flights over the lines. In the
midst of a sea of bursting shells,
the airplane bobs up and down like
a ship in a violent storm.
The conclusions which the shells
make in bursting produce a swift
succession of air pockets and air
bumps, and it is absolutely impos-
sible to keep a machine steady
through them. Meanwhile there is
the strain of knowing always that
the next instant one of the thou
sands of flying shell splinters may
reach a vital spot in either machine
or pilot.
Yet 1t is not possible to avoid fly
ing through a barrage at times.
The latest type of anti-aircraft guns
can place a barrage as high as 49,
600 feet, and it is not practical to
turn about and try to climb over the
barrage. 1t takes a very highly
specialized scout machine to climb
to $4,000 feet. and the heavier ma
chimes cannot achieve that altitude
under any circumstances.
The longer the airman hesitates
to u the barrage the longer he is
exposed to the fire. Anti-aircraft
gunnery at the front has now reach
ed a point where the range is calcu-
lated to a nicely almost instantane-
ously by processes Of triangulation
and, therefore, the flyer who hest
tates Is lost. The only thing he al
do is to take his chance, just as a
ship at sea takes a storm and &C.
cepts it's chances of w%eathering the
gale.
Next to the barrage, the most fear
ed of the ground defenses is the
"cluster." This is a group of six
anti-aircraft shells, sent up together,
and placed just ahead of the ma
chine, with one she'll aimed to burst
the tip of the fuselage, two on each
side of it, two on each side just
ahead, and one farther and direct
ly ahead.
The side-slip is the favorite pro-
lection against these clusters" The
anti-aircraft gunners get their range
nowadays SO accurately that the
slightest move out of range Is fairly
certain to get the machine out of
dangers way, unless the gunners
have anticipated this move, as they
sometimes do, by placing another
cluster at the most likely spot for an
expected side-slip.
The side-slip is produced by tip
ping the plane down slightly, and
while flying ahead ~slithering over
sideways and down, thus changing
the range without seeming to do
so, for the gunner looking up sees
as much of the machine as before
and is justified in estimating it's
height to be the same. In reality
the machine is a little to one side
and several hundred feet lower as
the result of his skillful slide-slip.
Below a height of 5000 feet anti
aircraft guns cannot be used to ad-
vantage, and machine guns and rifles
provide equally dangerous enemies.
A machine gun playing a stream of
500 bullets a minute is no mean
foe, eve though the bullets are not
explosive.

and eager, flew to that lighted wing
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 disappointments and bitter
ness, roved the room. They came to
rest at last on the photograph of a
Yong man. which stood on his bed

He was very young man, in uni

There was a Seg beside him. ana its

knew this. and because he was quite
old. and because there were few peo-

The old man turned his head. Just

Prince Ferdinand William Otto eyed
1.-THE stranger. He was about his own
age, and was dressed in a short pair
of corduroy trousers, much bloomed at
the knee, a pair of yellow Russia
leather shoes that reached well to his
calves, and, over all. a 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"
he said, In his perfect English. "All
the exhibition flights are at shutdown"
The boy walked slowly over and
stood looking down at him. "You ought
to see it fly from the top of Pixies
PeakI" he remarked. He had caught
sight of the despised derby. and his
eyes widened. but with instructive
good breeding he ignored 1t. That's

He indicated the very top of the land
of desire. The prince stared up.
"How does one get up?" he queried.

stared with new awe at tne boy. He
found the fact much more remarkable

cHApTER II.


At eight o'clock that evening the
Crown Prince Ferdinand William Otto
approached the palace through the
public square. He approached IL
slowly, for two reasons. First, he did
not want to go back. Second, he was
rather frightened. He had an idea
that tbqy would be disagreeable.
There seemed to be great deal go
ing on at the palace. Carriages were
rolling In under the stone archway
and, having discharged their contents
mostly gentlemen in uniform. were
moving off with a laundering Of hoofs
that reached from the vaulted roof OF
the entrance. All the lights were on
in the wing where his grandfather
the king, lived alone. As his grand
father hated lights, and went to bed
early, Prince Ferdinand william Otto
was slightly puzzled.
He was very dirty. His august face
was streaked with SCOT, and his au-
gust hands likewise His small derby
hat was carefully placed on the very
back of his head at the angle Of the
American boys cap. AS his collar lad
scratched his neck, he had, at Bob
by's suggestion. taken 1t off and
rolled it up. He decided, as he waited
In the square, to put 1t on again.
Miss Braithwaite was very peculiar
about collars.
Came Iull in the line If carriages.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto took
a long breath and started forward.
AS he advanced ne stuck his hands
in his pockets and staggered trifie.
It was, as nearly as possible, an ex-
act imitation of Bobby Thorpe's walk.
And to keep up his courage, he quoted
that young gentleman's farewell
speech to himself: "What d you
care? They won't eat you, will they?"
Prince Ferdinand William Otto stood
in the shadows and glanced across.
The sentrfes stood like wooden men,
but something was wrong In the court
yard inside. The guards were all
standing. and there seemed to be a
great many Of them. And just as he
had made up his mind to take the
plunge, so TO speak, part Of his own
regiment of cavalry came out from the
court yard with th1ndering of hoofs,
wheeled at the streeS, and elattered
off.
Very unusual, all Of 1t.
The Crown Prince Ferdinand Otto
felt in his pocket for his handkerchief,
and, moistering corner with his
tongue, wiped his face. Then he wiped
his shoes. Then, with his hands in
his trousers pockets. he sauntered in
to the light.
The two sentries made no sign
when they saw FerdiDand William
Otto approaching. But one Of them
forgot to bring his musket to salute.
He crossed himself instead. And
something strained around the other
sentry's lower Jaw suddenly relaxed
into smile as his royal hIghness
drew a hand from its refuge and sa-
luted. He glanced at one. then at the
other, rather sheepishly. hesltated be-
tween them, clapped his hat on more
securely. and marched in.
%The young rascal! = said the sec
ond sentry to himself. And by turn
ing his head slightly-for sentry

without twisting his neck-he watched
the runaway into the palace.

uls the stone staircase. Here and
there he passed guards who stared and
saluted. Had he not been obsessed
with the vision Of Miss Braithwaite,
he would have known that relief fol-

 Among the outstanding measures passed by the conference were the changes in the wording of the ritual from r'The Holy Catholic church" to "Christs Holy church.; granting of laity rights to women, and adoption of the centenary of missions programme. authorizing the sum of $35 000, 600 to be raised within the next five years for home and foreign omissions and church extension work The changing of the creed and the laity rights measures are to be passed down Ito the annual conference for ratification Further legislation affecting the church HTas the passage of law distributing the church into Episcopal districts; recom- mendation that the bishops. in so far as is possible, retain a district for four years; change in the law relative to the time limit making it possible for a min ister to remain more than four years in a passionate upon the recommendation of the quarterly conference and a majority vote of the presiding elders.
 Other important measures passed in cluded the change from the assessment of the various benevolent collections to a budget system and their apportionment by committee for the purpose.

 After declaring that the conference had mot only been progressive, but wise, Bishop Eugene R. Hendrix of Kansas City pronounced the benediction and the conference stood adjourned,
