NEW YORK BREAKFAST
IS AIRMAN'S LATEST

PARIS. - Paris-New York In q
night! A pipe dream? No, q sober
prophecy.
Henri Roget. the famous French
alrman, recently astonished the avia-
ton world by flying the $50 miles
between Paris and Lyons at the rate
Of 1876 miles per hour. Experts said
1t was impossible with any existing
machine. Roget took an ordinary
Spad--aud did it.
Now he has published the secret.
It is perfectly simple. The higher
you 60 the faster you go!
when they discover an aeroplane
capable of attaining an altitude Of
$4,000 feet and keeping there" said
Roget, "there is no reason why the
trip from Brest to New York should
not be accomplished in ten hours.
,''If ever q machine is built to at
tain $4,000 feet, the journey ought
to be made in six hours"
Well? What next?

Daniels Pays
Tribute to
Soldier Dead
(By Universal Service

(By Universal Service)
WASHINGTON High tribute to
the American soldiers who fought in
the world war is paid by Secretary
of Navy Daniels in Memorial Day
message to the people. It follows:
"The country that forgets its de-
tenders does not deserve a citizen
ship courageous enough to place
their lives in jeopardy to defend it.
The valour of the youths of our day
to the number of 100000, who
were ready in the world war to die
for America, teaches us that the
breed of heroes has not played out.
There are as many Nathan Hales in
hundreds of youths today as there
were in the revolution. This knowl-
edge gives higher appreciation Of the
soldiers and sailors in whose honor
we celebrate Memorial Day. We
think more of their sacrifice. even
unto death, than before this genera
ton had experienced what grim war
means. AS we honor the dead heroes
today let the people of the republic
rededicate themselves to love Of
freedom that knows no creed nor
race nor cline or ocean boundary
(Signed) JOSEPHUS DANIELS"

EvL times fell upon England in
the year 1348. when the great
plague devastated the land. It
was during this period that the story
Of. Sir Nigel takes place.
The house of Loring, like many an.
other noble family, felt the heavy hand
Of misfortune; for after the Barons'
War and lawsuits with Wayerly Abbey
the men Of the church and the men of
the law left nothing but the manor of
Tilf0rd for the remaining members of
the family, Lady Ermyntrude and her
grandson Nigel.
Nigel Loring came Of race of
heroes, his grandfather having fallen
at the battle of Stirling, and his father
in the sea fight Of Sluys. Nigel, his
veins thrilling with the blood of hun
dred soldiers, was filed with the de-
sire for adventure and combat; having
been trained at the desire Of his grand
mother in skill at arms, and courage
times fierce bitterness assailed Nigel
at the thought Of the wrongs done by
the Abbot Of Waverly, whom he be-
lieved had robbed the Lorings Of much
Of their estate.
On the first day of May, the Festival
Of the Apostles Philip and James, con-
sternation reigned at the Abbey, when
1T was found that large pike had
eaten the carp In Abbot Johns fish
pond. Nigel being accused Of putting
the pike in the pond. Abbot John and
the sacrist, Brother Samuel, were in
consultation upon the subject. when
they were rudely interrupted by buzz
Of excitement among the monks in the
clOister. A white-faced brother flung
open the door and rushing into the
room cried, "Father Abbot, alas, alas.
Brother John is dead, and the Sub
prior is dead, and the Devil is loose
In the five virgate field"
Now what the brother called the
"Devil' was great yellow horse, held
at the Abbey for the debt of his owner,
Franklin Aylward; such horse it was
said, was not to be found betwixt the
Abbey and the Kings stables at Wind
cor.
1t was sorry day that brought the
horse to the Abbey, for no one there
could be found who would or could
ride him or conquer him; he had in
deed nearly killed the Brother and the
Subpri0r.
Abbot John and the monks, intent
upon seeing, with their own eyes, this
terrible creature, hurried down the
stairs and gained the wall Of the mea-
dow, where looking over its top they
beheld the magnificent horse standing
fetlock deep in the meadow grass. Up
on this wild scene there arrived riding
his pony the young Squire Loring,
small Of stature, but with muscles of
steel, and a soul Of fire; his face,
though tanned with the weather, was
delicate Of feature. His whole appear
ance made him mark for The sight Of
any passer-by, but at the first glance, |
the brown face set in its golden hair |
and beard, and the daring light Of the
quick, reckless, laughing eyes, made
the one strong memory left behind.
The horse was at the moment tram.
ping his latest victim and Nigel, spring.
ing from his pony, was over the wall
and at battle with the creature, prov.
ing himself master. Some discussion
arose among the monks as to the kill
ing of the yellow horse, or the giving
him to Nigel as punishment; the last
suggestion finally won, and Nigel pro.
ceeded to further subdue the hereto |

was the Daily Express, the limos and
presses being out of commission for
two and hall hours.

ing down, the Western Union tele-

two hours, during which time no mes
sages were dispatched or received.
