 Editor Herald:
 have been somewhat worried my self ss to how the big shovel was to be gotten out of the hole but now l see how simple 1t Is; just attach a huge canvas bag to if and allow the hot air from outside the fence to run into it and the darned thing will float out of itself
 Your UNCLE DUDLEY. Editors Note--We shall have to discard this suggestion, it savers too much of the airplane scheme that was abandoned yesterday. The only diff ference in the two plans is the use of lighter air rather than heav- ier-than-air traction power. Besides. once having filled the bag and start ed the shovel in it's upward flight it might be difficult to get it down again. It might become a perman- ent fixture in the sky and one Big Dipper up there now is enough.

CHAPTER XIII.

Royal Blondin presently came to pay
his respects to Harriet in her changed
position. Nina had told her that he
had been forbidden the house, in De
cember; they had seen him only two or
three times since their return from
Bermuda. and then accidentally. Har-
riet was thankful to believe the affair
between him and Nina well over. The
girl was growing up now. there were
other men in her world, and for the
list of her eighteenth birthday party
she had merely mentioned his name
among others.
Three days before the garden party
that was to mark the girls anniversary
Royal drifted in with the assurance
that was quite characteristic of him.
He rarely accepted an invitation. or
waited for one. Perhaps he was clever
enough to know that half his acquaint-
ances detested him theoretically. but
were glad to have him about. Nina
and Harriet came In from an after
noon at the club to find him playing
with languid hands at the piano. and
he lnzily rose to greet them. While

dress early, so that they might have
a talk before dinner, sent the girl fly

more freely.

years! Roy, she wouldn't be happy

you. He said that he was glad the
affair had ended naturally; that you
were not the man to make Nina happy,

fer anything, and find out her mistake

and her money wasted, through sew
