PROVED HE COULD “DO WONDERS” By Means of an Airship BY ARTHUR Copyright, 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) HAD oome to the conclusion thet single bleasedness is not a sine- and, after meeting my Ideal, to marry and settle down. But I encountered an obstacle which I bad to remove before I could gain the Object of my affections. So I went to work with a Dewey determination to win, as it was necessary for me to do something extraordinary to accom- plish a) dificult task. One afternoon, however, while ab- @orbed in a problem whieh promised @uccess I was interrupted by a friend, ‘who entered my workshop wunan- Rounced. “An airship?” he remarked face- @ously, as he inspected the cigar- @haped model which I had almost com- pleted. “In a correct sense {t is not exactly What one woull call an airship,” I re- turned shortly, “Although If It proves to be all that my tmagination pictures Tehall travel through the air at a rapid Tate.” @Qbarles Fields end myself were warm Papa’s Opposition. that Annthilated Space and W.

It would be of no importance for me to fully de. scribe my sensations while in transition —but I will say thie much, thet the Instant the powder exploded in the breeoh of the cannon I felt a sudden jar and heard a muffied road, which ‘quickly changed {nto a plercing shriek. ‘This sound annoyed me until I felt a series of jolts, then all became still as, death, Presently I heard a low mur-) mur and then a@ little valve, which Tj used for the outlet of alr, was opened | and Charley whispered, “All right, Tom?" I answered in the affirmative and @ moment later Cherley was helping mo out of my close quarters. It was posi- tively amusing for me to seo the astonished speotators as they stood in open-mouthed wonder. Major Wright, however, was the first to recover; hoe rushed forward, grasped my hand and proceeded to wring !t In a manner that plainly interpreted the nature of his feelings. “Brave boy, Tom," sald the old fel- low huskily, “you accepted my wltl- THE MAJOR SURRENDERS. “Yes, my boy.’ sald the Major, “you have convinced me that you are capable ® doing wonders.” He was one of the oficers uty {t was to Inspect the heavy ordnance of the different forts, and I ‘was the armorer at Fort B—. I was deeply in love with Major ‘Wright's daughter Mande, who prom- }fged to become my wife whenever I oould gain the Major's consent. But h was the rock which barred my way t happiness on the subject he utterly refused to equntenance anything of the kind "Go and perform some aeed or Invent @omething that will demonstrate the fact that you are a little above the ordinary man, then T wiil consider your Peat This was offered Tn a few days my invention arrived at Fort R——. whither I had gone with Charles and I had it conveyed to the armory. where I took my friend Charles te inspect the result of my tngenulty. He examined it critically, then looked in a puzxied way. AMhat's the matter tow?” 1 queried Jaushingly “How the dickens you expect to rate the thing Is beyond my com- ee he exclalmed at length. "Ye Iooks more like » shell fir one of the Rodman guns than anything else.” “You're right In your comparison this tiie, old fellow.” I sald, not wishing to keep him any longer In the dark, “and 1 suppose you'll consider me @ lunatic when [ tell you that T Intend to nde over the six-mile range faster than amortal has ever rode the same distance Afgunpowder can do tt.” ‘The next morning we ha’ the machine carted to the proving grounds, where, after weighing the shell Charley made ig calculations. as to the amount of *powder necessary to carry it a certain Gistance, Inside the shell we placed » weight equal to my own. He turned it over to the gunners with instructions what to do, and, jumping Into our wagon, ptarted across the “range” for the purpose of some observations Charley wished to make. On our arrival we lost no time In giv- ing the signal to fire, and In an instant we saw the white puff from the Rod- war, The shell fell a little short ard sloochetted for a hunured yards or snare b:fore It was speni. haste we ran to {hvestigate, And after a careful examination found everything intact, fuccess had crowned out first ‘experiment.

We had just aMxed the signatures to the protocol when the Major entered tho parlor. He rubbed his eyes and looked at us very searchingly. “Have you agreed on a settlement?" he asked eagerly. “Yeu,” Maude and I answered etmul- taneously Well." added the MaJor abruptly, "before I agreo\to accept your terms, Mr. Bright, you must prove to my satis- faction that I have not been the vietim of a hoax. 1 desire you to fully explain how you accomplished your alleged feat without disastrous reauite.”* “IT succeeded in this way: Firstly, by designing a steel cone eljht feet long and twenty inches In dlamoter that would chamber in a Rodmer gun In- aide of the cone I pla 4 smaller one in a manner that would 4) a free circulation of air arout a protec- tion from the heat of the explosive.

A Fam tly Counc] oe Two. DUSEKEDPING and happiness ought to be synonomous terms to every young married couple. No young man 1s justified in taking a wife unless he can give her a good sup- port. It ts not to be expected that a young man beginn'ng life can offer his bride a home as elegant as she has been to accustomed fn her father's house. But every young man should provide for his wife a home in which she may e: Joy the comforts of life. No man has a right to deprive a girl of a home with the comfort and protection the word {m- piles, by making her his wife. The new home need not be large nor luxurtous, It may be only a tiny flat with the simplest and fewest house furnishings. ‘With taste and economy the two young People can make it a little paradine. The gain to themselves in develop- ment of character and the growth in sturdy cqmmon-sense virtues, called Into exercise through the responsibility of making a home, will far outweigh Any possible loss from. the decislon not to board or “live on the old folks.” Don't take your young wife to a board- ing-house, I should like to impress the value of a separate home to every man contemplating marriage. Many, many are the marriages that are ruined by way of the boarding-house. The young wife having no pleasant round 02 house- hold duties to engage the day often fritters away her time in {dle visiting and gossiping, or else mopes away her health and prettiness through lonesome inactivity, The young husband's work lacks its best incentive, and the “‘sav- ing up" Is for no definite purpose. Often he tires of the one boarding-house room and returns to {t a little later each evening, or the boarding-house table grows distasteful to him. He leaves his wife to wrestle with it alone while, more and more frequently, he goes out with “the other fellows” for a club arrays herself in hei few moments before the named on h with her cards she takes hi husband just Inside the lor There she receives the ast! he may in receiving.
