He proceeded to put back in its leather case a device about two feet are. It was made up of coils, a a recep tacle for sulphuric acid and a erank | ing attachment. This was his inven: : tion—compact, of demonstrated uti! | ity and decidedly clever. Ry starting! the sulphuric acid in motion by turn | ing the crank, within a few minutes’ time the quart of water in the con: denser became a solid cake of ice. “I built g0 many hopes upon it!" murmured Darrow. “Everybody at | home in the little country town wherae | Tllve encouraged me,” and the lmnust‘ blue eyes bore a trace of suupl(m\xfll moisture. “There's a sweet little girl will be the worst disappointed.

ATLANTA, GA, Almost famished and perishing from cold and exposure, the next morning at roused up to discern: that he was on a wild-looking, desolate stretch of coast. He found a cooling spring of water, some edible shell fish and some fruit. Revived and encouraged, he was about to line the coast, hoping to come upon some settlement, when with hideous yells thers burst from a near thicket a score or more of dusky, half-naked savages Ned was bound hand and foot, placed upon a litter and carried through what suggested an interminable jungle. After twelve hours of steady travel ing they reached a rude native village. It was composed of a thousand or more small mud huts and one large building formed of logs. This was the royal palace, it seemed. At least Ned was carrfed within the structure, where upon a gaudy throne sat a thick-lipped, greased and painted savage. From the hungry way in which this rubfcund monarch viewed him, Ned decided that he would soon be roasted and eaten. The curiosity and interest of King Obi, however, were next fixed upon the leather case that contained the ice-freezing device and which the riod. natives had brought along with their captive. | He ordered it opened. Then he be- gan fingering the cogs and wheels of the machine. The clicking as he turned the crank tickled his childish nature. He glanced at Ned, bobbed his head and grunted, as if to say: “What {s this?" Ned bobbed vigorously, as if assent- Ing to show the king what the machine could do. His bonds were cut. He set the device in position, fllled the acld receptacle and taking out the glass that held the water Indicated by mo- tions that it be filled with water. Then Ned turned the crank. All hands in the royal court watched him raptly. Their eyes bulged as at the end of elght minutes he drew out a pound cake of ice “Hoo! hoo!" shouted the king, as the ice was handed to him, and ho dropped the unusual gubstance from | his fingers as though it were a pleco of red-hot iron | | Such a thing as ice ! or snow had never even been heard of in that remote district | But once his royal highness cooled ‘Hl l\l\iH\\l CAR T - Prices on Ford Cars \ugust 1st, 1014 to Augustist, Lower Iffective 1915 and qllhmhul against any lmlmlmn AIl cars fully equipped during that time. i 0. h.
