O IT WAS over torn of tht most ra iled and picturesque terrain of Franca, tbt Valley of the Rbona and th country lying on each aide of It, that the Graf Zeppelin fought her way recently, finally to find a hav en t the French tmval airport near Toulon, on the edge of the Mediter ranean. Of thlt southeastern region of France, Lyon la the interior metropo lis. Lyon night be called the New lork of France, a great manufacturing city, Ha heart on the tongue of land at the confluence of two great rivers, the Rhone and the Saone, and dominated at one aide by a towe.-ing palisade, on whose very summit rises the monstrous modern Byzantine Church of Four Tier. The people Inevitably suggest Americana the beautiful women (owned with taste and restraint; the men broad-shouldered, energetic and alert; the flocks nf pretty children well dressed and with charming manners, while what one sees of the life of the city Is as spirited and delightfully re freshing as the cool floods that sweep past Its long quays. It la a beautifully arranged city, which has taken full advantage of Its situation. Its twin rivers, spanned by 22 handsome bridges and dotted with battered public wasb-boata, are lined with superb, tree-shaded quays on all Idea, There are miles of other fine streets and many parks and squares. Imposing modern commercial and public buildings In no way detract from the Interest of the remarkable Cathedral of St Jean and Its attend ant, the Incrusted and arcaded Elev enth century Manecanterie, or Chor ister's house, or from the quaint Ro manesque Church of St. Martln-d'-Ainay, with Its Inlays ot colored stones and lta tower with acroterla, A su perb view from the balconies of the tower of the Fourvlere church sweeps a hundred-mile circle of city and plain, fenced In by snowy peaks, among which ML Blanc Is clearly visible in good weather. On Its southern trip the great dirig ible sailed easily over Lyon at great speed, helped by the southward flow of the Mistral, the famous wind of the Rhooe valley. But op the attempt ed trip northward, with engines crip pled, this same Mistral proved an en emy and the ship was sent drifting southward long before Lyon was reached. Nlsmes and Avignon. In Its battle to fly northward the crippled ship first sailed over the flat Camargue country In the delta of the Ithone; then over Mines. The latter city la the most notable of those In this region a big, healthy-minded, sprawling city full of languorous southern fragrance, rich In splendid avenues, and a park finer than any other In provincial France, and glory ing In the finest Roman ruins outside Italy Itself. Right throngb the smil ing, scented heart of the city runs the little walled stream whose source Is the cool spring at the foot of Mont Cavalier, that feeds the ancient Ro man bathe. Every art that man could wield has tolled to make the park and baths lovely beyond compare land scape architecture, sculpture, hydrau lic engineering, horticulture, and all the rest. With Its formal Eighteenth century orns, balustrades, statuary and arrangement, It Is not Roman now In anything save memory; but It Is perfect The great, shattered amphitheater tells more truly of Roman days, with Its terrific masses of masonry and Its suggestion of cruel sports ; and where two busy streets crots, among the ecunty remains of the form, rises the most brilliant of all the ruins In France, the little "temple of the for tunate princes of youth." It Is er qulslte a Jewel so rare that not even Its brummagem setting can dim the luster of the Greek spirit that infuses every detail of It, Romun though It he. A little to the northeast lies Avlg Don, city of the popes. It Juts boldly up from the plain on a great Isolated rock, from which springs the huge Fourteenth century papal palace, wonderful mixture of ptlson and for tress and pontlflclal residence. All about the town of the sunny, battle- mcnted walls seem entirely approprl ate, and the clattering trolley cars that dart through the now always opened gates an anachronism. The town is lively with color, and from tbt ittractlre park atop the rock tht In tht Rhont Vallty. view along tht great river, 800 feet below, and across the outlying country Is broad and brilliant wide fields un der cullvation, olive orchards and Bower-spangled meads that roll upward In gentle slopes toward the grim fort of St. Andre, that might be a walled city In Itself, and below, opposite the brok en bridge of St Benexct, the former defense tower of Pbllippe-le-Bel. a shaft of toney against the cloudless sky. But that view pales beside the one from the fort of the gaunt gray rock with Its white palace, that grows and grows as It Is looked upon antll It dwarfs the city and Itself becomes the only object In the great fiat plain a towering tombstone over dead ambitions. King Rene's Castle. Tarts coo means unlucky King Rene's beautiful square castle, that clambora op the rocks of tbt river bank, a soft-toned medieval picture. At Its feet the smooto green mirror of the Rhone, that has reflected so many a chlvalric pageant In lta day, holds op a quivering counterfeit of the stately structure, with every angle smoothed, tvery color softened. The view from the great stone bridge Is perfect, thl delicate tan of the stones cut clean against the bark ground ot embaying trees and asure overhead. And what a scene at sun set on the low bills of the opposite shore! Silhouetted black and spectral against the flaming orb that goes down behind Its slender, towering donjon keep, the storied castle of Beancalre pulses again with life, and one feels the gentle ghosts of Aucassln and Me olette hovering about the scent ot tbelr romance. On up the beautiful Rhone valley the great ahlp fought Its way past Orange and Montlmar to Valence where the dangerous drift to the southeast began. The danger lay in the nature of this southern region. A very short dlstanct east of the ribbon of the Rhone valley tht country rises sharply. This Is tht old province of Dauphins which hat been called an "Italian Switzerland" by the French them selves, for It has the sonny sklea and rich vegetation of the Mediterranean peninsula and the cold, stern, tnow capped mountains of the Swiss. The most characteristic feature of the province Is Its vivid contrasts; tre mendous masses of granite pyramids, bare and blasted and savagely deso late; long stretches of primeval forest, pines and firs of noble girth and height, from among which bert and there huge rocks leap op like uncouth animate of another age; smiling pas ture lands and farms, cut by profound gorges; stormy-looking peaks starred with glaciers; tiny hamlets nestling among the pines; milky roads and sky brushing sierras of needlelike peaks) deep. Irregular, narrow little gorget, escb with Its rushing, boiling torrent far down among the contorted rock! of the bottom. The engineering difficulties through' out Dauphlne are exceptional. Alona the railroad half the scenery Is blarK tunnels and stinging clouds of cinders, But one cares not whit for that when the train bursts from them opon spidery. Inspiring viaducts, and goet zigzagging up or down the mountain side In graceful spirals that deprive one alike of speech snd breath. Crsnobls Is Bssutlfut. A little farther north than the area which at one time threatened destruc tion to the huge airship, but character istic of the entire region. Is Grenoble, superbly placed at the Junction of the Isere and the Drac, in an exquisite plain, awept about on every side by range upon range of glorious moun tains that tower up 10,J0 feet, into the realm of perpetua! snow. Bas tloned, turret ed walls leap picturesque ly up to the forts on the top of the hill no the other side of the river. The Fifteenth century Palace of Justice, with Its hlkh-pltched roof, bold dor mers, and elegant chimneys. Is suld tn be the finest Renaissance building In the Vulley of the Ithont. The hand somely towered Hotel de Vllle has a very effective formal garden. Indeed, Grenoble blossoms with gar dens, and one of Its tree-decorated avenues runs straight as an arrow's flight five miles out Into the country to tht Drac, whert tht Seventeenth century Hurdle Bridge humps Its bark for tht leap across the stream, and gives an exquisite picture, In the rough frame of Its arch, of tht peakt beyond FLASH The Lead Dog By George Marsh Coe-mjta by THE PENN PVBUSH1NO CO. W.N.U. SERVICE CHAPTER XII 24 Th Battle) on the Carcajou All the niorulug the dog-team trav tied north. At noon the lukt nar rowed to Its outlet and shortly the boys wera following a rldgs which par alleled a headwater branch ot tht Carcajou. But, to their surprise, on Inspection, they found that the trail which followed the let of thlt little river, had not been used tn weeks. Still, the cautious Guspard held to tbt timber, rather than travel the easy river road. Once teeu from the hills, they could bt easily ambushed from tht shore, to the team held to tht hard and circuitous going of the thick scrub. All morulng they bad traveled un der a tusked sun. aud In the early afternoon tht north uufurleu Its lead hued banners ot tht coming snow, in mldafternoon, to avoid a circle of tbt I shore, Gaspard bad followed up the shoulder ot a high ridge from which the valley of the stream iieued before them tor miles. They stopped to rest tht dogs, for aven with the good go ing of thw bard crust, the live hundred pound load ot food, which would carry dogs aud men through to April, made rugged hauling on the hills. While Gaspard auioked a pips, Brock curiously examined through bit glasses tht unknown country to tht north, llow long and great a river was this Carcajou which flowed Into the bay to tht oortbwest of Caps Henrietta Maria, no one at U angry Uoust or Elkwan bad known. Whether they were now on out of Its headwaters, neither he nor Gaspard was sura. Somewhere to the wist of the Carca jou lay tht watershed of the great Wiolsk, This river they followed might swing to the west might, for all they knew, bt Wlulsk water. But of oot thing they were sure. Tbt Creea who hunted this country knew the fate of Pierre Lecrolx, aud to learn what that had been, was the sole object of this wild adventure. Brock bad awung the glassea far down the little valley, when sudden ly, he exclaimed: "By golly, Gaspard) There's a dog team traveling north on the river trail I" Tht halfbreed sprang to his friend's Side. Brock banded him the glasses. For a space, through the fulling snow, Gaspard studied the black speck on tht river trail. Then bt re turned the glassea, "You keep on wld de dog," be suld. "I go have a look at dut tree." With heart pounding with expectan cy, Gaspard swung and slid and dodged down through tht timber on bit tnowsboea, for In timber the crust Is fickle and seldom strong. At the river shore, the halfbreed sbaudooea all caution and slipping out ot hit shoes, look to the Ice, for the team be followed waa traveling at a trot at least a mile below blin. Down stream ran tbt tireless son ol Herre Lecrolx through the fast thickening snow, rifle and suowshoet In bis band. At last bt approached a sharp turn, and, sure that bit quarry was near, cut directly op througb a shoulder of high short to obtain a view of the river helow him, (lurrying through tht scrub bt looked downstreaiM. 'By Oai 1" gusped tht punting boy. bit eyes widening In aetunlshiueut On tbt river Ice, hurdly 'hree bun dred yards below, two dog teams lay In trout ot their sleds In a group four men talked, their laughter clearly audible to tht hunter watering from tht Umbo.', "He meet deo. traveling upstream," muttered Gaspard. Then the deep-set eyes of tbt boy opened, as his lips framed tht name: Gros-I'ledl" Gros-l'led, Big-Foot, one ot the team of the missing I'lerre Lecrolx. bad risen and stood sniffing tbt sir, as tht heart ot Lecrolx' son pounded In bis chest Tee, It was Gros I'led There waa no dog marked like htm. with that black bead and that tingle wbltt sock, tie was In the team beaded down-river good I But where he was, Gaspard was In danger from the keen noses of tht huskies. Ue must mova back and warn Brock From whert bt lay lit could kill or wound them all, before they got to their rifles on the sleds, but be want ed sn nnhurt prisoner. No, he would cut back and find Brock i then. In the morning they would amhush the sled beuded south, with Gros-i'led, bit fa titer's dog. The light was going fust as the snow thickened. Brock would already be making camp back In the timber, op stream. Ue must find him. Tomorrow they would haves prisoner, and then- After four hours ot blind search througb tht timber below tht ridge whert bt had left Brock snd the team, Gaspard taw tht yellow glow of tht Art. At daylight tlx Inches of new snow lay on tht crust and, to tht boys, ont thing was clear. It they wished to overtake the Indian heading down river, they would have to abandon tin safety of the timber and tuke tht taut ard of the river Ice. So Gnspnrd went ahead to tht riv er, to rccounoltor, while Brock fol lowed with the ton in. lu a hall hour, aa the sun rose, lighting the forest, the halfbreed met Brock packing the uew snow uliead ot the toboggan. "1 saw dew start free, up-ilvlert; one, our uiiiu, go dowu-slroum. Ken Utile piece you twin out to dt let aud follow me. I go aheai, to head heeui off. Ue got no load, he truvul fust." With a wave of tht band, Gaspard was gout. Carrying hit loaded rifle, Brock traveled ahead for a half hour, then angled out lo the river, followed closely by fellow-Eye aud the team. Tht three ineu bound up-river should now be far m their way, he thought, as be looked out to the Ice where the broken suow marked the passage of sleds since the full of the ulght before. Stopping the team. Brock weut to the cover of some shore willows and looked up-stream. The freshly broken trail run for a mile and dlsupiieured be hind a bond. They were miles away by this time, so returning, be drove bla dogs down to the Ice and out to tht rive.- trail With tin. start of over ai hour the Indian In trout of him would be far down stream. Guspard would have to travel bard through fit bush to head him off. Brock was excited. At last they were In the enemy's country getting so'kt action. Any moment now, things might happen. Tbt safety of bis friend guvs him little concern. Gus pard had but out man to deal wltb a mun traveling with his gun cased In bis sled. Gaspard would get bis man, unhurt without a fight It was the safety ot the dogs and the pre cious load ot grub on the sled that occupied Brock's thoughts. Ue bad traveled for an hour, when. aa be approached a slsrp bend In the river, throwing the trail close lo a shore, thick grown with tcrtin, like the lasii of a whip a premonition of danger flicked bis nerves. With s fierce, "Uaw. fellow Eye I" Brock swung the team to the opposite shore, nd with a rough "Msrcfael" led them on tht run Into tht scrub. Ut had barely reached tht cover ot tht spruce when tht opposite shore roared with the explosion of r I ties. A cut spruce twig fell on bis shoulder.
