long since ceased lu be ashamed to con
fess t Iih t tbwy got scared and, that ?
panic of fear while In the air luay seize
(Itetu at any time. Why this lu so 1h
the subject of au article hi tin* l.oudnu
Aeroplane.
It appears that a flier with au Imugl
nation la Mover quite happy* es|iocially
on a long flight In < a)in weather* wheu
he has nothing to occupy his attention.
Ono pilot, who la ono of the flnest tilers
in lOnglaud, haa a habit which la most
disconcerting to hla passengers, how
over consoling It muy he to him person
ally. Ho will fly without a waver for
perhaps half an hour, then suddenly
the passenger will Imagine that a storm
has struck them, for tho machine will
stand Hint on ono wing tip and then on
the other, then It will dire terrifically,
and then it will almost loop the loop.
After that it will calm down and fly
for another half hour, wheu the per
forma nee will be repeated. After they
have landed and the imssenger has re
marked on the extraordinary squalls
which struck them when over certain
places, tho pilot will casually explain
that he waa merely looking round at
those Intervals to see whether bis tail
was still there and was testing the
controls to see whether anything was
trying to Jam.
" 'Cold feet' may lead merely to prop
er caution, or It may lead to complete
loss of nerve. A pilot may bate cold
feet of a certain machine and so fly It
with due respect for Its peculiarities,
or he may have cold feet of Hying al
together. In which case be had better
give It up. for If be does not he must
take to 'doping,' which js fatal.
"A particularly malignant disease is
'constructor's cold feet,' in which the
? victim, always on the ground himself,
watches every machine in the air In a
constant state of terror, expecting It to
fall In pieces whenever It Is moved by
a gust, and when a machine of bis own
or any other make Is on the ground, he
is always pawing round it, flnding some
spot at which it may break."
WALL STREET WISE ONES.
You Can't Fool Thorn by Losing Thing*

no sign of the gold could be found. He

"It will be some half baked. Idiot
who will pick that bar up. Tho wise
ones of this street will never do it If
they saw It on the street they would
think It a hoax of some kind and leave
It severely alone. These very shrewd
Wall streeters can't see their way a
quarter of a block without matches In

"Two years ago a bank messenger
dropped a leather bag with 110 more

of J. P. Morgan's ofllce. corner of Wall
and Broad. Was It picked up right

picked It up? Why a bunch of im
migrant h with packs on their backs
came up Broad street, saw the bag,
kicked It and then one of them, after
a furtive look around, dared to pick
it up.

FOUR YEARS TO SERVE
By JOHN P. ROC.
No. 774 had caught meaning glances
from the convicts at* they filed Into the
foundry. He knew their meaning; for
weeks a revolt had been brewing, and,
strangely enough, this time tye guard*
had no inkling of It The secret had
been well kept.
No. 774 was In for 20 years, and he
had served 16, At any time now he
might be paroled by the pardons,
board. Hut the spirit for freedom
was strong in him. He had long since
ceased to reason, to be tnivch more
than a dumb brute. H* knew the
odds were fearfully against him. Hut
? outside the sun was shining, and
the birds were building. A mad hun
ger for freedoni assailed him.
Only one man in the foundry was
Ignorant of what was transpiring.
That was little 1237, a boy of twenty,
serving a life sentence for the mur
der of the man who had lnftulted ills
sweetheart. He had been there only
six months. No. 774 could read him
like a book. He knew the sudden out
breaks of frenzy, the hbpelessness, the
longing to see the girl, the certainty
that she would forget him as life in
creased and memories grew fainter.
Poor little 1237!
The signal was to be the opening
of the outer gates to admit the pass
age of the trusties, with their carts
of slag. No. 774 listened intently.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
A simultaneous yell. The men ran
toward the doors, brandishing their
red-hot bars of steeh The warders
shrank away in terror. They were
hopelessly overpowered. No. 774 was
being carried along in the press. At
his side, caught also In the crowd of
men, he saw the boy.
He moved like a man in^a dream.
He heard whistles blowing, he heard a
revolver spit spitefully and saw a man
near him pitch up his arms and tum
ble forward.
They were in the outer court. The
gatekeeper, an old man with a white,
pointed beard, was trying to close the
gates. No. 774 saw a crowbar descend
crashing upon his skull. The gate
keeper fell forward. The men Were
In the open and racing down the'1 road.
No. 774 came to a realization of
what had happened, because, as the
crowd separated, he was no longer
thrust forward among them. He
stopped, gasping. At his side was the
boy. His long paralyzed brain began
to work!
"Down here!''- he gasped, indicating
a dry ditch besld? the road.
He looked back quickly. They were in
a little depression which hid them
from the prison, or anyone on
guard there. There was nobody in
sight. No. 774 dropped flat among
the tangle of briers, dragging the boy
with him.
"We're hidden here," he said.
"They'll never look for us so near.
And they'll get those other fellows as
sure as a gun."
Sowly out of the distance came a
freight train. It rolled at a slow pace
along the meadow banks. It would
cross the road that forked with that
leading to the prison, and that was
only a couple of hundred paces away.
They could make it unobserved l>7
running along the gully. And tl&re
was ample time.
No. 774 looked at the boy. Ho looked
like a striped caterpillar in Ills hide*
ous convict garb. He himself, as a
first-class prisoner, wore the working
garb of any laborer.
"Strip, kid!" he said.
The boy began suddenly to tear off
the stripes. In a few. minutes the
transfer had been effected.
"You'll make the town by night*
fall," said 774. "They won't catch
you if you jump off before you reach
the yards."
"But you?" stammered the boy.
"Four years more," answered 7J4,
easily. "I could do that bit on my
head. Hurry, kid!"
No. 774 watched him as he ran.
He saw the train approach, slowing
as it went up the incline, saw the boy.
scramble under a car. He held his
breath involuntarily. But nobody had
witnessed that sudden flash out of the
gully into tho daylight. The train
I went onr_ , ?
No. 774 sat still In the gully. Ha
watched the mounted men ride back,
shepherding their captives. As they
i came toward him 774 Btepped into
the road. A mounted man dashed at
him.
"Ah, put up your whip," said 774,
"I ran becauso I was scared.
been waiting for you."
He took his placo in the dejected
crowd. A few minutes later they
passed through the outer gate v where
an old man with his head in a ban
dage cursed them volubly.
No. 774 felt his heart leap in nis
breast. It was not murder, then! And
his only offense was against tho prison
rules. They could take away his four
years of "copper," but they could giv*
him no more. You cannot imprison ?
man for breaking the prison rules by '
changing, clothes, unless you can
prove ? but what could be proved? .
"The boy knocked me down and
took 'em off me," muttered No. 774. $j
He was back in his cell. Outaida
the birds were pouring out their eve
ning song. listened and looked at
the cafondaf^apon the wall.
"Pour years!" he muttered, and than
he thought of the boy.
"Ill do it on my head," he said,
and tvin!:ed, because hid eyos wera
