Planes in Air
 Only 55 Hours NeWY0rk to Nome

NOME, Aug. 24.-The four U. s. Army airplanes arrived here safely yesterday afternoon.
 The trip was made from Ruby without accident, although they were delayed there for a few days by bad weather.
 The actual flying time from New York to Nome was 55 hours, or less than five days of daylight flying. The distance covered is estimated at over 4,500 miles.
 The aviators expect to hop off in a few days on their return trip to New York. They hope to lower both their actual flying time and the elapsed time on the trip east, as they are now familiar with the route and their machines are in excellent working order, having been thoroughly broken in on the long trip west.
 It is freely predicted that the time will yet come, and will not be very long on the way either, when it will be possible to go from Nome to New York Tn 45 hours, actual elapsed time.
 In order to make trip of that kind it would possibly be neces- sary for the passengers to trans fer a half dozen times on the way. One plane would carry the passen- gers from Nome to Fairbanks; another to Dawson, a third direct overland to Prince George, the fourth across the Rocky Moun- tains to Edmonton, fifth to the vicinity of St. Paul or Chicago, and thence to New York.
 It has been said that simpler way to get from Interior Alaska to the Eastern States would be to continue due east from Dawson across the mountains to the Me Kenzie river country, and thence over a comparatively flat country to New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25. News of the arrival of the army air planes at Nome aroused much en- thusiasm among the members of the Aero Club of America here. Particularly were the members elated over the fact that the avi- ators had made the trip over a virgin country, untouched and in many places untrammeled by man, and without an accident of any consequence. The fact that it took the aviator somewhat longer than was originally antici- pated did not lessen their praise for it was felt that they had pur- sued the wise course in studying conditions we'll and in using every precaution to safeguard their lives and their planes.
 Tt was a remarkable epoch making achievement which fore- shadows better communication facilities, not only for Alaska but for other distant lands. We shall urge the Government to establish aerial mail routes to Nome," said August Post, secretary of the club.

Ghetto, charming young girl
wrote the name of a man, Gill
Iiatt, in the snow. Gilliatt, seeing the
name and knowing who wrote it, new
er forgot.
Gilliatt was young man of dc,abt-
! full, birth and unpopular disposityo ION
who lived by himself in an old wreck
Of "a house in st. Sampson in the isle
of Guernsey. He was fisherman /;
also a carpenter, a wheelwright, sort
of engineer when need be. He was
also a dreamer of dreams.
Deruchette lived with her uncle,
Mess Lethierrv man at once good
natured, intolerant, superstitious and
progressive. In his wandering days
Lethierry had befriended Rantaine, an
adventurer who repaid this kindness
by running off with 10000 francs of
Lethierry's, the savings of forty years
and intended for Deruchette's dowry.
However, Lethierry had still his
steamboat, the Durande. She at least
would not fail him. Other steamboats,
failed, but not his Durande-this be-
cause of her wonderful engines. The
master of the Durande was Sieur Gu
bin, who had built up reputation for
high responsibility. He was capable,
prudent seaman and wonderful swim
mer. Also he was man who knew
how to bide his time.
In one of his trips to the main land
Clubin encountered the thief Rantaine,
as he was about to leave the country
with a fortune of $4,000 francs. AT
the point of a revolver Clubin took
from Rantaine the $4,000 francs, and
at once, although it was foggy, set
sail in the Durande for st. Sampson.
The Durande was wrecked on some
rocks in the channel. Clubin disem-
barked his passengers and crew in the
long-boat. For himself. he would go
down with his ship. The passengers
and crew, arriving safely in st. Samp-
son, were loud in their praise of the
heroic captain.
All Lethierry's hopes for Deruchette
had lain in the Durande. He besought
men to go out to the wreck to see II
there was hope for her or if Clubin re-
manned alive. They went, Gilliatt first
of all, and returned to report that no
Clubin was there and that the Durande
was hopelessly wrecked. Only her en-
gines remained intact.
Her engines! The word reused
Lethierry from his despair. Her en-
gines! His engines, which he had de-
signed himself! They were the real
value of the ship! If he could but re-
cover the engines! But how? What
map could devise the means to save
them? The superhuman being who
could do that, why-he should marry
Deruchette.
A man pushed his way through the
crowd surrounding Mess Lethierry and
his niece. "You would marry him to
Deruchette?" said the man. 1t was
Gilliatt.

hand. 81 pledge myself to it in Gods
