SYNOPSIS.
' CHAPTER I Theodoro Carson,
inventor of an airship, rescues from
a fugitive flying mnchino called a
helicopter, a beautiful young girl.
II nnd III Corson is infatuated
by her and takes licr where she can
communicato with her menus.
IV Carson visits tho Hoc, a giant
airship owned by Slmyno, undo of
Virginia Sunroz, tho girl ho rescued,
and, being coldly recoived, leaps
from tho Roc, at a great height, in a
parachute
V, VI and VII Ho lands in tho
grounds of tho Slnttcry Instituto for
Inebriates, whoro ho inf.. n a friend
of ono Craighead, who plr to rnUo
capital to tnanufacturo tho now style
airship Carson linn invented. Thus
they hopo to rival Shayne, who con
trols tho airship industry.
VIII Mr. Waddy decides condi
tionally to capitalize tho Carson
Craighead project.
IX Carson goes to Florida to
complete a ontnplu airship to exhibit
to Mr. Waddy, nnd he finds Virginia
there.
aim yet one tiny n slimy iiipIiiI u"i
monster stuck a blunt nose out from
Uip water at about tho llvo fathom
contour line, opened n rectangular
moutli and (licked a wpmro red tongue
iiko an angry minkc until Captain liar
rod on tho highest tluno opened a bril
liant red handkerchief with a Chau
tnuipm saluto and wiped IiIh noso chili
orately. Whereupon tho sea monster
sank beneath tho brine. What took
place that night was concealed by
darkness. If Captain Ilarrod was
busy carrying pnekages ashore until
morning ho camo by them honestly, no
doubt.
An examination of tho popular nov
els or periodicals of the past any of
tho era of that president whoso Chris
jtlim uainu our Theodore bears-will bu
rewarded by a realization of prophecy
gone wrong as to tho Intlueneo on
smuggling of aerial navigation. It
must bring free trade, they said.
Bhlps navlgnting tho air could land
their cargoes anywhere. Yet tho air
ships gave tho custom house people
little trouble. Airships were so con
spicuous; their loads were necessarily
no light; the system of reporting them
by wireless from Canada. Mexico and
tho Islands was so elllclent.
Ver. unexpectedly It was the sub
marine that drove tho "revenues" wild
pud tilled the law hooks with Draco
nian statutes. No trade ever grow
faster. The boat llsh dived beneath the
waves and rose on home lonely coast
like this by appointment with some
Captain Ilarrod sitting (Ike a bowhls
kered bit of wreckage on tho dunes.
Ilarrod was nervous about the foot
prints, and ho pereircd In a search
until he found their maker lying asleep
In a comfortable steeping bag In a
nearby thicket. He rtkounUed him as
Wlnier. Inventor of tho helicopter that
was blown out to sea Ho wakfd Wlz
iior, and the latter assailed Harred In
itbuso which Included the absent Or
son. "'You let my helicopter go out to
ben," ho walled, "and It was worth a
million dollars to nw."
Ilarrod took pity on tho Inventor,
and as a rosult Wlzuer stayed for
weeks, sleeplug In hl bag on the porch
or the cabin, and, to the cHptalu's In

She had taken lllght to Carson's Land

delicate old lavender nunt. redolent of
tho old regime and ready to rccelvo

Instead of stiver hnlr, Theodore, tho
audaciously false uncle, had the "lit

Of his Invention, snvo that it was In

with nothing to command a second
glance except his sinewy erectness,
tho pathetic, yearning In his eyes nnd
the wonderful softness in his voice.
"Uncle Theodore," suggested VIr

we'll go bnck with the captain If you

Stott as If confident that tho captain
served out tho weather.
"Dead ca'in. ma'am."
"We'll go." said Mrs. Stott.
The ladles hurriedly packed their

I'Jvcry Man nntl AVoman In Medfortl

About It.
In this, tho day of the war on the
FL.Y, every person la or should bo
deeply Interested in sanitation and
should endeavor to force cleanliness,
not only in their own houses and
places of business, but should insist
that at least all places handling

sanitary. One firm in Medford is
very particular and careful to keep
everything absolutely Banltnry from
cellar to garret, and from front to
rear.
This firm has the most complete
and only modern cold storage plant
run without the aid of Ice that can
be found in southern Oregon.
They nro very careful to slaughter
only tho choicest and absolutely per
fect cattle, etc.
Tho meat transferred from the
slaughter house to the cold storage
Iilant In air tight, dust proof Iron
boxes and kept always away from
tho flics or other Insects.
EVERYTHING SANITARY.
In tho entire plant and market you
will not find n corner that is not
clean, and Warner, Wortman & Gore
nro proud to state that they have tho
only cold storngo rooms in southern
Oregon In which a fly cannot live
nnd which wo will be prod to exhibit
to every person manifesting a desiro
to see.
We bellevo In absolute sanitation
and endeavor to keep everything out
of the wny of files, dust and other
things that ten to non-sanitation.
Our cold storage system Is tho only
kind that Insures perfect sanitation.
