CHAPT1B I Theodore Carson, iinvoutor of an airship, rescues from - S..lrtr flvinr, mnnhinn called 0. 'helicopter, a beautiful younR Rirl. II and HI Carson is infatuated y her and tnkes her -where she can feommunicata with her friends. j IV Carson visits the Roc, a Riant airship ownod by Shaync, uncle of (Virginia Suarer, tho girl ho rescued, mad. bein coldly received, leaps farom tho Boo, at a Rreat height, in u 'parachute. H V, VI and VII Ho lands in the i'jrrounds of the Slattery Institute for inebriates, where ho makes a friend of one Craichead, who plans to raise teapital to manufacture tho new style fairsbip Carson has invented. Thus ,they hope to rival Shayne, who con trols the airship industry. 1 VIII Mr. Waddy decides condi tionally to capitalize the Carson- Craighead project. IX Carson goes to Florida to complete a sample airship to exhibit to Mr. Waddy, and he finds VirRinia there. X He is in love with Virginia. Wizncr, a rival inventor, conspires to kill Carson. j Captain Bolger was a choleric gen tleman with whiskers like General Sherman's, much thinned by the In- !.,i.i , k it.- n j jBtabllshment or the foliage. He ad- .... . i i . ranced rapidly, with a blppety-hopplng rait, as if catching step with nn Imag inary companion very careless of tho sarch ; "What's this, sergeant?" he sputter ed. "Thl3 Is quite irregular, sergeant '-irregular. The parade ground! A II d thing with wings and V type fmgines! And no passes? Some one 1 Vill sweat for this. Highly Irregn- lrI" I "Pardon me," said Theodore. "My uamo is Carson. I miscalculated my meed. I know Colonel Krimnltz, and "Colonel Krimnltz. sir." said Captain iBolger, "is temporarily on leave. I am ,e officer of the day, sir. You will produce a pass for your confounded 'teronef or I shall order you" "I feel sure," said Mr. Carson, "that polonel Krimnltz" j "Colonel Krimnltz be hangedr re nted Captain Bolgor. "You can't nine the Krimnltz game, sir, whllo be fa on leave. Sergeant!" "Captain!" said the sergeant, salut off. '!gee what that thing is in the felJ ow's hand." pointing to Mr. Wnddy'a ,mera. "Tako it and If it's a bomb ixplodo It at sea. If It's a camera urn It over to me Instantly and coutlne ,hcso men. My compliments to Major i flat hers, and say to him that I have' Mufined three men who ran tho guard n nn airship, with bombs or cameras, is the case may be; that I have tho llrshlp under guard and await his In structions at headquarters." I And Captain Oolger hlppety-hopped 0 headquarters, followed by a soldier ,vlth a camera. The threo Interlopers vent Into tho guardhouse, whllo Cap sin Dolger's messago went to Major riathers, commandant in the absence 'f Colonel Krimnltz. 1 "I won't stand it!" Mr. Wnddysbout d. "I want to wire John n. Gunn! I vnnt to wlro Washington, I tell you 'ohn Q, Qunn, speaker of the houso! ile'll make somebody chow hay for ibis:" 'j Mr. Craighead began humming "It's jfweuty Miles to Vassar," evidently a Vest Point ditty, paced tho guard house, turning corners with military Teclsloii or stood accurately with cer kin lingers on certain scams of his rousers as precise as a tin soldier. "ho atmospbero had permeated his yeteiij, and when a corporal's guard ailed for them his stride might have een offered as a model. I Access to Major Flathers' desk was pened for them by orderlies described y Mr. Waddy ns stuto's prison look- ?' g fellowB, armed to tho teeth. The ajor was thin, solemn, bilious look pg, ns If ho had n bad liver from serv :e In the tropics; haughty, ns If tho jver had overflowed bis temper, I ""Who aro you?" said Major Flathers. ,"Who aro wo?" cried Mr. Waddy. Who aro we? American citizens, sir! Jltizens and taxpayers before you was ,Ver born, sir! "W'n John II. Gunn t Washington that Cyrus Waddy's nut up In Jail, an' you'll lind out! fou'll"- j"It would seem an economy of time, Ir. Waddy," said the major, ufter uelllng him with n yellow glower, uot to troublo Mr. Gunn or tho presl put, who might find It inconvenient ! Bttcud for purposes of Identification, rhat cau you say, sir? j This query was directed at Craig Md. jI'Most hlffli nud Illustrious one," said I he. The wuiWIS IHIIerita population Rome sixteen huudred millions. Of this considerable force wo aro but three. You nslc us, O serenity, to set ourselves apnrt from the others by brands nml marks. How con the thing bo proved? It Is n hard saying, and yet didst ever see that serrated uoso? Give me a pen, and let mo mark It Exhibit A!" The mnjor arose with pronounced absence of haste, adjusted a pair c rimless glnsses to his precipitous beak by a clnsp of special construction, ex amined Craighead's nose critically and Impersonally, as If looking at a speci men In a case, slowly removed the glasses and 'deliberately reseated him self. "I have observed such a nose In but one case," said he, "but Its Introduc tion in evidence does not establish Its Identity with the only snout of similar symmetry recorded. 'Exhibit A' will bo considered for what It Is worth as evidence. Proceed." "I will now render a song, which I beg this honorable body to receive as 'Exhibit n.' " Though this declaration made a dis tinct sensation among tho officers and orderlies, and though tho sergeant, who was a shorthand reporter, broke three pencils in his agitation. Major Flathers never let down. by even one degree the saturnine dignity of his presence. Craighead sang with a flno Independence of tune, but with an air and style of tone emission which reminded all hearers of a basso pro- fun do laboring in tho trough of the heaviest vocal sea. Oh. It's twenty miles o Vassar. and th Hudson for to cross I There's regulations to bo broke at both ends of the route. But Belinda's eyes aro like the sky, Be linda's hair Is floss. And Jim Is black and plagued with love and doesn't care a hoot. Ob, it's twenty miles to Vossar. But It's fifty smiles at Vassar. And It's 'other lovey-dovey things in hosts beyond compare I Oh. the love of dear Bellnder burns his heart Into a cinder. And Jim will be at Vassar ere the morn Ins! A slight redness crept up under tho ton of Major Flathers' cheek; a slight quiver of tho thin nostril betrayed the fact that Craighead's song had touched some spot that thrilled. Mr. Craighead asked If It would be necessary to ad duce more proof of his identity. "Possibly." said the major, with un abated dignity. "I shall hear the caso in private." The mnjor rose and passed out with out a glance at the Intruders. The squad took them to his quarters, where he received them In frozen stiffness , , .,.,.. ..i and stood aside to let them Into a 11- brary rather well furnished with books. The major sat like a graven Image until the receding footsteps were lost to tho ear. Then ho rushed at Craig head, shook him until bis teeth chat tered, laughing, slapping him on the back. "Craig! Craig!" said he. "Ton con founded old scapegrace! I've an In fernal good mind to throw you In for ten years! And that Belinda song you made up nbout me! And sober too! Introduce your friends!" "With Mr. Waddy's name," said Craighead, "you are familiar. lie Is the billionaire owner of Speaker Gunn " "Confoundedly sorry," said the ma Jor. "But If this reprobate," indicat ing Craighead, "had hinted that be was our West Point dlsgruco I should have Issued passes and" "And this." said Craighead, "Is tho Inventor and builder of our airship. Theodore Carson. M. A." "Quite so." replied tbe major, sbak. lng bands again. "But It was con foundedly Irregular to run the guard, you know." "We didn't lntend"- "Not a word!" said tho major. "Yon must dine with me. Mrs. Flathers will waive ceremony. She Isn't Bellnder. Craig, you disreputable old dog, dis guised as a sober man! Could be CHAIOIIEAD CAUOIIT TIIE0U0I1B AS II B STAtiOEKKD hanged ns a bpy! 'Twenty Miles to Vassar in headquarters! Nobody but Craig Let's write a letter to Bill Alexander In Guam." The major was as complaisant as ho had been unyielding. Tho party was allowed to depart. Mrs. Grayblll met them when they alighted from tho Virginia, with a let ter In her hnnd for Mr. Carson and a troubled looU on her face. Carson turned whltn nn Im fnrn It nnon nml remj.

Last Thursday 2000 eastern brook trout wore liberated In Ashland creek. liar ry Hosier and other Interested asso ciates had previously mado applica tion for tho consignment which in duo season was forthcoming from tho hatchery at Clackamnb. Tho dl rolnutlvo specimens aro llttlo beau ties about an Inch long. They camo by express In flvo cans, and out of this consignment only (lvo wero lost out of tho entire 2000. Truo sports men will watch with keen interest this effort at restocking tho waters of Ashland creek with an Idoal brook species and will see to It that tho young specimens aro given a chance to mature, says tho Tidings. Some 50,000 additional specimens aro expected hero In Soptombor or October, and all Interested should help out In securing and "planting" this big allotment, which means so much for the trout streams of this vicinity. Thero is quite an agitation among local fishermen to have Ashland creek closed to actlvo fishing for from three to five years In order to have Its wators restocked In nbun danco. Whllo tho agitation is on, now is tho timo to taico somo action In tho matter, and it remains to bo seen whether the anglers of this vi cinity will rise to tho occasion for having repressive measures taken or allow tho plan to go by default.

A. building for Central Point Is assured. Novor boforo In the history of this or any other llko sited town has thoro been such nn amount of onthiislnain shown in n similar cause. From tho tlmo the committees began work un til tho present momont thoro has been a spirit of optimism in tho nlr, which not only meant success for tho project but which Is also making tho work of tho commlttcomon more a matter of handing out subscription cards to willing donators than of strenuous and tlresotno solicitation. A mammoth clock dial waa placed on tho uppor front of tho A. O. U. W. building with nn indicator which at noon each dny Jumps forward to tho amount then subscribed. Mondny noon, after four hours' work, tho j "ono of tho doctors in tho city could amount Indicated waa $1600; Tucs-jbo found who had lost such implo day noon It Jumped to J30S5; and 'meats, and likely Clnrko will begiv- Wednesday noon It Indicated $4000.

Ono-fourth the required amount In four hours nml moro tfcnn half In a day and a i nair is going somo ror suro. Another phaso of the matter wor-, thy of mention and showing tho spir it of tho community, Is tho high por- i centngo of thoso approaclod who uavo suuscriocu, Aimosi yu per cent of thoso approached, Mr. Rhodes says, havo subscribed and of tho small number who havo refused sovoral wero persons who woro plainly una- blo to give and do themcclvcs and ' f families Justlco. !
