LILLY'S FORTUNE j
HO so cravcnly llies discomfort
oftentimes runs in)
V/%/ O to danger. John Hardy
I proved the fact when, in
an effort to escape the busle
if preparations for his aunt's (Mrs.
>r.".'jam's) big party, he took a tempto;:
wood path and cauae all unawares j
lpoa two pretty girls. One stood, the
m?: ai ana pattern ot nutiuueiice, iutr j
ti: t, half bent, was eagerly searching
bn.ugb the jjrass and t.tngle of the
>ai!iside, now parting its greenery
vit'i two slim white hands, now letting
he hands fall at her side, while she
itc?>ped lQwer, peering at some small,
>a;e space.
"I can't come, Betty!" he heard the
ea.-cher say, plaintively. ''You know
he bracelet's my mascot?Aunt Heln
said so when she gave it to me "
"A mighty poor mascot," Betty retortlu.
"I'd throw it away rather than
renr it?rubbish thing. It's ten years
iln>.-e you got it, and we are just the
iauie-rpoor as church mice, yet bound
o live up to tie Morris name. Besides,
lotliing but bad luck could hang about
hat little ugly cameo."
Hardy drew back embarrassed. E?iieurly
he was hearing things not meant
or stranger ears, jie was 011 me
>o!nt of running away, , when a cry
C triumph, turning quickly to terror,
irrested him. Instantly he darted forward?to
see the mascot's owner upight
and rigid, staring at a twig where
ler bracelet hnng just above the head
a coiled and hissing snake.
"How ever shall I get it?" the girl
lemanded, laying her hand appealingly
u his arm, while Betty looked on
igiiast. Hardy smiled down at her,
nade a stroke or two with his stout
ane, flung away the writhing reptile,
hen picked the bracelet out of its
rften ambush and held it toward its
wner, saying easily, "There. MioS

"Why, how do you know?" MiiUcenl

me?Billy's my cousin?I'm John
lardy at your service?and just now
eeking asylum from my natural or
nnatural protectors."
' Then come home with us. Ask him,
Jetty?Betty's head of the house." Mily
returned promptly. Hardy looked
utreaty at Betty, who answered it
6/pitably enough. Thus, five minites
later he found himself walking
eiween the two into an adorable old
flrden, and on a big, white silent
ouse, the very picture of restfulness.
"Yes, it is nice. I love it all?every
ticfc an<? stone and blade of grass,"
I illy said, when he exclaimed over
he charm of everything. "That's the
rouble," she went on. "I want to

No, you haven't." said Milly confiently,

"That is rather tragic," Hardy ad- J
litted. Then for live minutes he
tudied the cameo closely, and at last
nve it back with a face pale and preccupied.

[ en years back, after a phenomenal
J storm. lie had stood at the very edse
of the hungry breakers, watching them
rave and roar, when it swept tumbling
in?the brass bound oaken chest, full
| of gold and banknotes and precious
stones, unset, many uncut. There had
been no name, no mark anywhereonly
at the very bottom of all. wrapped j
in silk, a bracelet, a slemled hoop of j
gold set with a fanciful cameo, lie had i
half smiled over the pattern of it, even
though he knew some heart tragedy
lay back of SI.
He had not told of his find?search
for owners of such treasure trove
seemed so hopeless. He had meant to
ask his uncle's advice and be governed !
by it. Then that very night came the j
dispatch?the good uncle was dead. I
and Hardy his sole heir. Altogether j
Fate seemed bent on forcing him to |
keep what he had found. He had kept j
it. accounting for his change of estate j
by a true story of inheritance grealet j
than he had had the right to expect, j
Now, he knew where the bulk of his |
fortune belonged.
Almost he persuaded himself to hur- !
ry back to the city, take out the actus-,
ing graven stone and pound it to povr- f
der. Suddenly, somewhere high abovii i
his head a robin sang clear and gay. !
The souud brought back to him ;
a country church?himself a restlesd ,
little boy, sitting at his mother's side, j
and suddenly growing calm as to- j
gether they got to their feet and re- t
peated in unison with the rest the j
Lord's Prayer.
"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil." It rang in his ears :
likA a voiet? of a friend. He had flung j
himself face down upon mossy turf. I
Instantly lie was up and racing back
toward the Morris house fast as his
feet could go. There he burst in upon
Milly and Betty, wild eyed and white j
faced, but joyous, indeed, tokl them j
everything?making no reserve even j
over his temptation and how he had j
been saved from it. and wound up !
with: "Now my soul is at peace; I !
can dance and be happy. Let things
stand until to-morrow, please. It would j
be cruel, almost inhuman, to spring a |
sensation such as this, and eclipse j
Aunt Harriet's party."
"We would never, never do that," J
Milly said joyously. "She hates me j
enough as it is?because Billy likes me. i
She thinks, as I do, he is quite wasted j
on me. Indeed, she said to him when i
he told her we were engaged: 'Oh, j i
you idiot! Why didu't you take
Betty?' "
Billy asked himself that question
before the party was over. He got
home an hour before the guests assembled.
Betty was easily far and j
away the star of them all. A'll in fiiiny j

only saved from making himself a

?she had read Hardy's face like an
open book while be waltzed with Milly.
So she managed it the four of

Baldwin's Airship
THE
New Baldwin Airship.
?<*+>?
By J. Mayne Baltimore.
*9081610** APTAIN T. S. BALDWIN,
of Oakland, Cal., is tbe rc&
C ? & cent inventor and construc
2* tor of what proves to be a
very successful dirigible
airship.
The first anil initial trial of the craft
was made from Idora Fark. Oakland.
Since then several other trials have
been made, all of which proved very
satisfactory.
No high altitude was attained by
the new airship. Captain Baldwin's
principal aim was to determine If tlie
movements of his ship could be controlled.
He ascertained this could be
done quite easily.
At a height of about TOO feet he circled
several ' times around the large
park, going both against and with the
wind, and moving at various angies.
After being up nearly an hour, Captain
Baldwin brought his ship back to the
starting point, and safely desccndc1 to
onrflv Tlmw trials wei'A witnessed bv
groat crowds of spectators.
Subsequent trials have also been
rpade, when it was demonstrated that
In every revolution of the large propellor,
and In every move of the steering
gear, and of the weights which
raise or lower the vessel at will, the
plans of the inventor have been carried
Into effect. The large propellor, having
two metallic blades, and nearly six
feet in diameter, instead of being
placed at the stern, is located at the
bow of the frame or car, as in most
recent airships of this type. In this
manner the airship, instead of being
pushed through the air, is pulled. This
facilitates the steering as well as raising
or lowering the ship.
The balloon, by means of which the
whole machine is raised, is somewhat
blunt cigar-shaned. It measures Gftyfour
feet in length and is seventeen
feet in diameter ia the middle. The
balloon is constructed of a very Gne
quality of silk, extremely strong and
flexible, ami with the reticulated netting
which attaches It to the car.!
weighs only ninety pounds. The balloon
is in3ated with hydrogen gas, and
at an ordinary distension pressure contains
8000 cubic feet.
To this balloon i?s attached the frame
which supports the propelling and
steering mechanism, this name,
Which is made of strong, light wood, is
triangular in shape, the three ends
uniting at n centre at each extreme.
This frame Is forty-eight feet long, and
is very securely braced and lashed. It
has been very thoroughly tested ar.d
will support 1100 pour.ds with safety.
The engine which drives the propeller
is one of the ordinary gasoline
type, furnishes seven horse-power, and
weighs sixty pounds. The transmitting
mechanism is so adjusted and geared
as to cause the propeller to make 130
revolutions per minute. Just what
speed can be obtained under ordinary
conditions has not yet been definitely
determined by the inventor.
The frame, or car, is placed directly
below the balloon?about twelve feet?
and weighs sixty-five pounds. The
total weight of the airship is 220
pounds, while Its buoyancy will lift
nearly 500 pounds. The rudder, which
is rectangular in shape, five by three
and one-half feet* is very easily manip-.
ulated from any part of the car; and j
the engine is regulated by a steel lever.
One person can very easily navigate
this airship. The aeronaut can sit
about midway of the frame, or he may
move about freely if necessary without
disturbing the general equilibrium to
any extent.
A weight, which can be shifted from
bow to stern, or vice versa, permits
the airship to be raised or lowered at j
will, a feature borrowed from Zeppe- J

soon to construct another frame that

crease the speed and facilitate the
steering.
So confident is the inventor and
builder of success that he has already
entered his airship in the $1,000,000
prize competition at Uie World's Fair.
Captain Baldwin expects to start soon
for St. Louis with his aerial machine.
In working the ship the propeller
may be reversed at pleasure, thus
pushing the vessel backward, whenever
the same is necessary or desirable.

A rather elaborate device for the
purpose of accurately aiming a gun

some time ago and attracted
considerable attention among the military
men of the world. A uiu-jh simpler
device to accomplish this same purpose

School For Emigrants.
The progress that is made-in <developing
colonial holdings depends almost
entirely on the intelligence of the inflowing

nations possessing colonies are anxious
to build them up rapidly, every effort
is bent to direct ambitious, well
informed young men to emigrate to
these lands. Germany has recently
gone so far as to establish a school foi

In Brussels every school child is medically
examined once in every ten days
Its eyes, teeth, ears, and general physical
condition are overhauled. If it
looks weak and puny they give it doses
of cod liver oil or some suitable tonic.
At midday it gets a substantial meal,
thanks to private benevolence assisted
by communal funds, and the greatest
care is taken to see that no child goes

SIEGES.
Modern Method* ?f Warfare Tend to
.Shorten Theb Duration.
"And they came and sat dowa before
the city," i* the way in which old
writers referred to that simplest and
most ancient form of warfare in which
one combatant penned his adversary
within a wall and waited for thirst
or starvation to force a surrender.
The siege is so old a part of the art
of war that it is almost instinctive.
?.fan may. indeed, have learned it from |
the lower animals, for any New Eng- j
land town can stili prcluce a dog
whose chief joy in life is to lay alese i
to a wooilchuck's hole, and when the !
prisoner grows unwary and makes a j
sally, to cut off his retreat and capture :
him by assault.
Nearly every considerable war has j
had its notable sieges, some of which j
have given birth to great literature and j
great pictures. To the siege of Troy j
we owe the Iliad and the Aeueid, and j
to the relief of Lucknow that story i
which will always stir Scottish hearts, !
of^tlie girl whose keen ears first caught I
ine notes or me uagyipes.
During the siege of Paris the usual |
sufferings of beleaguerment were ag- j
gravated by divisions and insubordina- ;
tion among the defenders. The tor- j
;ures of! famine, which drove men to i
fish for starving rats in the sewers. I
were followed by the greater horror of
the Commune. The defenders of the i
city greatly outnumbered the be- I
siegers; yet the city fell in four and .1 !
half months.
Plevna and Vicksburg will be re- '
membered, the one for t'.e enormous J
loss of life sustained in successive as- j
saults and sallies,?ninety-five thou- j
sand in all,?and the other not only for I
the cost in life, but for the extensive !
mining and countermining and the !
large number of prisoners taken.
Modern methods of warfare tend to
shorten the duration of sieges. The !
advantage, in the long run. is always |
with the assailant, and his ability to j
bring up great guns has cut off any i
possibility of such a siege as that of j
Ashdod, which, according to Herodo- !
tus, lasted, twenty-nine years.

That mental power helps to keep the i

rule, those who have attained great j
mental and moral development. They i
have lived on a higher plane than

weaken most lives. It was at the age i
of seventy-five that the Count de

and the yield per acre?twenty-three ;
