photouraphx From the Air.

In Tasmania Photographic enter
prise has taken on a new form. A
Tasmanian photographer, determined
to Guido his rivals in getting pictures
of the most picturesque state in the
commonwealth chartered a recently
imported airplane, went aloft, and
obtained magnificent views. These
were exhibited in his shop window,
sold like hot cakes, and amply re-
waried him for his enterprise. The
cinematograph man will now be put
upon his mettle and the picture shows,
no doubt. will soon be showing their
audiences moving scenic pictures Of
surprising range and beauty. In time
pictures taken from the airplane will
probably be used to instruct children
In geography.

HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That They May

Generations.

History does not relate for the SAKE
OF relating; it does not paint for tha
sake of painting; it relates and psints
the past that 1t may be a living lesson
of the future. 1t proposes to inst uct
new generations by the experience Of
those who have gone before them, by
exhibiting to them a faithful picture
OF great and important events with
their causes and their effects, with
general designs and particular pas
sions, with the faults and virtues that
are found commingled In hlmaD
things. 1t teaches the excellence OF

and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
idle curiosity or a worn threadbaye

Friendship.

The loftiest test of friendship--un,
derstood as cOmpanionship-is the
power to do without 1t. And In this
world of external COMMISSIONS and sep
aratiOns, there is often such need
We do not yield the friendship, but
must fOrego the companionship. Then
comes the proof of our capacity for
sacrifice, our loyalty to the Highest
Of all. We turn our faces from each
other, but never our hearts, and walk
our opposite ways. Gradually the
heavens widen and deepen above us
we find ourselves breathing new, yet
strangely familiar atmospheres, sweet
with the breath of the old affection;
we see ourselveS-each sees the other

has never fOrsaken us-the presence

CHAPTER XVIII.

Colonel Pennington's discovery at
San Francisco that Bryce Cardigan
had stolen his thunder and turned the
bolt upon him, was the hardest blow
Seth Pennington could remember hav-
ing received throughout his thirty-odd
years Of give and take. He was too
old and experienced a campaigner,
however, to permit a futile rage to
cloud his reason; he prided himself
upon being fOeman worthy of any
mans steel.
On Tuesday he returned to Sequoia.
Sexton related to him in detail the
events which had transpired since his
departure. but ELECTED nothing more
than a nOncommittal grunt.
''There Is one more matter, sir, which
will doubtless be of interest to you,"
Sexton continued apologetically. Miss
Sumner called me on the telephone
yesterday and instructed me formally
to notify the board Of directors Of the
Laguna Grande company of a special
meeting of the board, to be held here
at two o'clock this afternoon. In view
of the impossibilIty of communicating
with you while You were en- route,
confoPmed to her wishes. Our bylaws,
as you know, stipulate that no meet
ing of the board shall be called with
out formal written notice to each d.

CHAPTER XVII,

Events followed each other with re-
freshing rapidity. While the crew of
the big locomotive on the crossing
busted themselves getting up steam,
Sexton and Jules Rondeau tofIed at
the loading of the discarded boiler and
heavy castings aboard two fiat cars.
BY utilizing the steel derrick on the
cOmpany's wrecking car, this task was
completed by noon, and after luncheon
the mogul backed up the main line
past the switch into the IAguna
Grande yards; whereupon the switch
engine kicked the two fiat cars and the
wrecking car out of the yard and down
to the crossing, where the distractions
were promptly unloaded. The police
watched the operation with alert inter
est but fOrebore to interfere in this
high-handed closing of a public thor
opghfare
To Sections annoyance and secret
apprehension, Bryce Cardigan and
Buck Ogilvy promptly appeared on the
scene, both very cheerful and lavish
with expert advice as to the best
method Of expediting the job in hand.
To Bryce's surprise Jules Rondeau ap-
peared to take secret enjoyment of
this good-natured chatting of the La
guna Grande manager. Occasionally
he eyed Bryce curiously but without
animus, and presently he flashed the
latter lightning wink, as If to say:
