"(let the Major to tell you about the time he was carried across the Oernuin lines und back again all in one uight," said the young lieutenant, as we tugged at the end but the major was toe mod est. He said: "Oh, all right. I'll tell you about it after dinner tonight.'' He did not like to talk about his own exploit though he mentioned several of his men who had beeen the heroes of adventurers in the clouds. But I did not get to read the official report of the incident and this was the story. Shortly after miduight one night the Major, after carrying out certain ex periment at about n mile high, signalled that he was ready to come down. The winch on the big lorry in the road be gan to grind and at 12:17 a. in. the saus age was swaying just out of reach of the landing squad. Then "by an error 01 judgment, ns the report puts it, the winch turned a revolution too fur. The metallic V, where balloon 's short cord was spliced to the wire cable, wed ged iu the opening leading to the revol ving drum, or windlass, and the cable parted like a piece of sewing thread. With I bound that jerked the basket this way and that like a ball on the end of an elastic string, the balloon went skying. TJp Nearly Three Miles. At 12:21 a. m. the balloon was a mile high. The Major had not used Ma paMb cbnto, to which the harness about him was still attached, because the wind at mile and below, was away from the Herman lines which rnn some two miles away. Instead he pulled at the valve cord to let out gas in the sausage. .Still "valving". to use the vernacular of the game, the officer, at 12:27 a. in. found himself at above 10,000 feet or about 2 miles above the sarth. It was bitter cold and getting colder every instant- At 12:40 a. m. he passed the 15,000 foot mark. Though he had been keep ing the valve w ide open all the t inn-, the balloon still soured. How he looked downward. There were lights below, lights which flared up for a minute and then went out, great, white balls of light hanging in the air and il luminating the countryside beneath them. , ,, . The Major, in his sausage, was "cross sing the line," He knew iu tin instant what had happened. He bad risen to a high cross-current of air and was being swept over the German trenches into German territory. It was too late to jump now. If he tried the parachute and landed safely, it would be only to be taken prisoner by the nemy. Could See Nothing. So cold that his marrow seemed fro zen, he now set ab&tit to tear up his maps, notes and everything which might help the Hermans. Leaning out of the basket and peering down he could no longer see the flares sent up to light the trenches. The indicator showed that he was falling now, rather rapidly. Making sure that he had destroyed all papers, he waited. Still falling, the major threw out We Haven't a CAR in the House BUT When you get ready to buy a MAXWELL at $725 or a MITCHELL at $1265 Come in and see us We'll get you one Halvorsen & Burns Ferry and High Streets lunuMi the again by the air-currents ground- Ho as much as he could be husbanded his ballast and get his gas, jockeying the balloon like an aeronaut in an in ternational race, his prize for winning being his freedom.

"This record was as convincing proof that the Maxwell 'utility point' motor has a lot of speed built into it, as the nonstop run was proof of the Maxwell's endurance and staying qual ities.
