II Is written that the elder Hero OF
Alexandria, Egypt, recognized steam
to be kneaded by the fingers into
devices to illustrate it's action as early
as 1870 B. G. 1t also was believed BY
some Of the engineering experts OF
the Nile valley that the vocal Men,
non. famous throughout the Medlter'
ranean countries, really had its marvel
from a simple steam arrangement, .py
which 1t fairly whistled Its way to
fame.
Numerous indications that steam
had begun to engage the vagrant
thoughts Of inventive brains before
the Christian era are to be found, but
Il appears that no one ever made a
model Of a steam-driven machine, to
run Cd wheels. until 1903, when a
Frenchman named Cugnot made such
model. His little engine, with a
vertical shaft forward for guiding
looked oddly prophetic Of the chassis
of a modern automobile. Cugnot's
engine was put In motion by the i'm
pulsion Of two single-acting cylinders,
the pistons Of which alternately acted
on the front wheels. The thing had

as though you were going anywhere,
as there are no horses hitched to the
wagon In which you are sitting
"Bow-wow," said the sheep dog, Pm
Just guarding over the house. I'm Sit
ting in this wagon, with my paws over
the seat, and I'm taking little dog
nap. That Is, I'm keeping one eye
open in case my services are needed"
Then they went along further and
they saw a wagon filled with beautiful
tomatoes.
"We're going to Market the toma-
toes said, land lady just passing
bought some of US. She said that the
very last time she came along this
road she saw wagon of tomatoes,
and that she was expecting to see US
today. Fancy being expected! She
expected to meet us In a wagon on
this road as though we were some
people she thought might be taking
a walk this way"
On they went to old Mr.. Giants
Cave, and there Witty Witch told
them stories Of the work of the Frost
Brothers who had made the autumn
50 much more wonderful and brilliant
because they had been out painting
so much.
The Frost brothers had made the
autumn a very, very red and scarlet
autumn, for when the autumn Is misty
and not SO clear and cold, the colors
are never so bright, but are paler and
softer.
Witty Witch told Of adventures the
Frost Brothers had had. And many
adventures she had to relate.
Then old Mr.. Giant got out the re-
freshments and every guest had a dish
Of fine winter-green berries and de-
licious cups Of Fairy Spring water.
Then each one was given a little
bunch Of Johnny-Jump.Up flowers, for
old Mr.. Giant said:
"These are the right flowers for Mn
Cnome and his friends. Peter likes
every day and thinks every day IS
nice. And these flowers like almost
every day for they're about the first
to come in the early spring, and tho
last to 60 in the very late autumn"
And then Mr.. Giant drove all the
guests home In carriages decorated
with wild asters and Michaelmas
daisies which were deeper and darker
in color than the wild asters. inc
carriages were handsome with the pur-
pie and the blue flowers, and as they
drove off Peter Gnome made a low
bow and said:
"Every day is nice, but this day has
been one Of the very nicest!"

Lund propelled Rainey forward q
few steps and then loosened his grip.
The captain of the Karluk appealed to
him directly.
"Mr. Lund is unstrung," said the
captain. "He Is under the delusion
that we deliberately deserted him and,
later, found the gold he speaks of.
The first charge Is nonsense. We did
all that was possible in the frightfu
weather. We barely saved the ship.
"As for the gold, We touched on the
island, and we did some prospecting,
very little, before we were driven
offshore. The dust In the poke Is all
we secured. We are going back for
more, quite naturally. ! can prove all
this to you by the log"
Lund had been standing with his
great head thrust forward as If con
centrating all his remaining senses In
an attempt to judge the captains talk.
The doctor sat with one leg crossed,
smoking a cigarette, his expression
sardonic, sphinxllke. To Rainey, a
little bewildered at being dragged into
the affair, and annoyed at it, Captain
Simms' words rang true enough. he
did not know what to say, whether to
speak at all. Lund supplied the gap.
IF that amt the truth, you lie we'll,
Simms," he said. But l don't trust

yards away, was, an the wind hadn't

blind, tucked in the bloody, freezln
carcass of a bear. Left me like the
cur you are. Why, YOU"
The rising frenzy Of Lund's voice
was suddenly broken by the clear note
of girls voice: One Of two doors In
the after-end Of the main cabin had
opened, and she stood in the gap
slim. yellow.haired, with gray eyes
that blazed as they looked on the little

demanded. "You?' And she faced

Captain Simms turned to her. Boo

His voice had risen again. Rainey

Rainey, on the hint, turned toward
the ladder quietly enough, but Lund
had nipped him by the biceps before
Rainey had taken a step.
