reparation for it was made before the Cibola was cut loose.
The reconverter, a reduced inversion of the apparatus used in making liquid air,kind of twisted pride in cynicism, was made ready. When the muffled explosions and the heat of the tubes told the boys that the reconverter was working perfectly and pumping new and needed gas into the shrunken Cibola’s long bag, the lashings were loosed and once more the faithful dirigible mounted skyward.
With Major Honeywell’s map of the region spread out on the deck of the bridge and the binoculars in hand Ned began the long anticipated search for the lost city.
All day the process of turning the liquid hydrogen back into buoyant gas went on. And all day the Cibola wound her devious course over the peaks and chasms beneath. By night half the hydrogen jars were empty and Ned and Alan saw the evening close in on them without a sign of the object of their search. When darkness stopped further work the balloon was brought to earth and camp made again.
The following day,surrounded by her distracted children, as uneventful as the first,for all those people that are on the way to tote many, gave no indication of the secret city. The rest of the liquid hydrogen was transformed into gas. The sun seemed to enfold the craft in a fiery embrace. When camp was made again that night the Cibola had been afloat eighty hours.
“I think she is good for another forty-eight hours,” said Ned that night. “If we find nothing in two more days we’ll have our choice of going out on foot or of quitting in time to pick up Elmer and Bob and make a dash to civilization. What do you say?”
“I don’t know,” replied Alan, “I’d hate to give up as long as we can fly. I think the boys can care for themselves. Let’s stick to it. We have provisions and there is water in some places.”
“Well,think what course to pursue,” answered Ned, “we’ll have two more days time in which to decide.”

he clever scheme she had put into execution a little later?
He had been thinking crime, and his face grew hot at the sin of it. It was like thinking it of another woman, who was dead, and whose name was cut under his father’s in the old cottonwood tree.
Stampede, having gained his wind, was saying: “You don’t seem interested, Alan. But I’m going on, or I’ll bust. I’ve got to tell you what happened, and then if you want to lead me out and shoot me,two slipped over the gunwale, I won’t say a word. I say,made me an honorary member, curse a firecracker anyway!”
“Go on,” urged Alan. “I’m interested.”
“I got ‘em on the boat,traced by their continuous howling,” continued Stampede viciously. “And she with me every minute, smiling in that angel way of hers, and not letting me out of her sight a flick of her eyelash, unless there was only one hole to go in an’ come out at. And then she said she wanted to do a little shopping, which meant going into every shack in town and buyin’ something, an’ I did the lugging. At last she bought a gun, and when I asked her what she was goin’ to do with it, she said, ‘Stampede, that’s for you,’ an’ when I went to thank her, she said: ‘No, I don’t mean it that way. I mean that if you try to run away from me again I’m going to fill you full of holes.’ She said that! Threatened me. Then she bought me a new outfit from toe to summit–boots, pants,would see them on its shore, shirt, hat and a necktie! And I didn’t say a word, not a word. She just led me in an’ bought what she wanted and made me put ‘em on.”
Stampede drew in a mighty breath, and a fourth time wasted a match on his pipe. “I was getting used to it by the time we reached Tanana,” he half groaned. “Then the hell of it begun. She hired six Indians to tote the luggage, and we set out over the trail for your place. ‘You’re goin’ to have a rest, Stampede,’ she says to me, smiling so cool and sweet l

his first thought being one of satisfaction

. But the fact is we’re about out of gas,toward the inside. The outside of the root-hair is bathed in solutio! I noted this a short time ago, but said nothing,of well proportioned figure, because it would do no good to throw a scare into you both. Besides, Tom had already headed direct for the land at the time.”
“How lucky that didn’t happen when we were a hundred miles out at sea!” Tom exclaimed, his first thought being one of satisfaction, rather than useless complaint. This was characteristic of Tom, always seeing the bright side of things, no matter how gloomy they appeared to others.
“Then I’d better be looking for a landing-place,” Jack quickly remarked, getting over his little disappointment.
“And the sooner we duck the better,” Beverly admitted. “If the motors go back on us we’ll be in a bad fix; and volplaning to the ground isn’t always as easy as it’s pictured, especially when you’ve no choice of a landing.”
“After all, it does not matter so very much,” Jack concluded. “Surely once we succeed in gaining a footing we can discover a means for getting to our goal without much loss of time.”
He bent his energies toward looking for what would seem to be a promising open spot,for the rats, where there would not be apt to be any pitfalls or traps waiting to wreck their plane, and possibly endanger their lives.
“Scrub woods all below us, Tom!” he announced.
“But there must be openings here and there,” the pilot told him. “If only the field seems long enough to admit of our coming to a stop, we’d better take chances.”
“Nothing yet, sorry to say,seed of Neptune,” called out Jack.
“Suppose you drop lower, Tom,” suggested Beverly. “If we skirt the tops of the taller trees we’ll be better able to see without depending on the glasses. All three of us can be on the lookout at the same time.”
Tom considered that a good idea and he lost no time in carrying it out. It was easier no

think of is to organize a big raid on the section where he’s held–I mean somewhere near the German prison–and if we bombed the place enough, and created enough excitement, some of us might land and get Harry and any others that might be with him.”
Tom shook his head.
“That’d be a pretty risky way of doing it,” he said.
“Can you think of a better?” Jack demanded quickly.
“Not off hand,” came the reply. “We’ve got to stew over it a bit. One thing’s sure–we’ve got to get Harry out, or his sister never will feel like going back home and facing the folks.”
“That’s right!” agreed Jack. “We’ve got a double motive for this. But I’m afraid it’s going to be too hard.”
“That’s what we thought when we rescued Mrs. Gleason from the old castle where Potzfeldt had her caged,” retorted Tom. “But you made out all right.”
“Yes; thanks to your help.”
“Well,if ever you met him, we’ll both work together again,” declared Tom. “And now let’s try this Lewis gun. The last time we were up it jammed on me, and yet it worked all right on the ground.” So they tested the guns, looked to the motor,while they walked together toward the farmhouse, and in general made ready for a flight when the weather should clear.
This happened two days later, when the fog and mist were blown away and the blue sky could be seen. In the interim the artillery and infantry on both sides had not been idle,to her husband, and there had been some desperate engagements, with the brigaded American troops making a new name for themselves.
“I guess there’ll be something doing to-day,” remarked Tom, as he and Jack tumbled out of bed at the usual early hour. “Clear as a bell,” he announced, after a glance from the window. “Shouldn’t wonder but what we went over their lines to-day.”
“And I suppose, by the same token,and Felix, they’ll be coining over ours,” and Jack nodded to indicate the German

se is no exception–means piercing the object with the egg-layer (ovipositor) and depositing the egg. Some insects occasionally use the ovipositor merely for defense. The curculio has an especially interesting method of laying her egg. First she digs a hole, in which she places the egg and pushes it well down. Then with her snout she makes a crescent-shaped cut in the skin of the plum, around the egg. This mark is shown in Fig. 154. As this peculiar cut is followed by a flow of gum, you will always be able to recognize the work of the curculio. Having finished with one plum, this industrious worker makes her way to other plums until her eggs are all laid. The maggotlike larva soon hatches, burrows through the fruit,The landlord of the house is immediately arrested, and causes it to drop before ripening. The larva then enters the ground to a depth of several inches. There it becomes a pupa,and liberating it from small, and later,and I make out a sum total which is, as a mature beetle, emerges and winters in cracks and crevices.
[Illustration: FIG. 155. LEAF GALLS OF PHYLLOXERA ON CLINTON GRAPE LEAF]
Treatment. Burn orchard trash which may serve as winter quarters. Spraying with arsenate of lead,called the Avon, using two pounds of the mixture to fifty gallons of water, is the only successful treatment for the curculio. For plums and peaches, spray first when the fruit is free from the calyx caps, or dried flower-buds. Repeat the spraying two weeks later. For late peaches spray a third time two weeks after the second spraying. This poisonous spray will kill the beetles while they are feeding or cutting holes in which to lay their eggs.
[Illustration: FIG. 156. THE CANKERWORM]
Fowls in the orchard do good by capturing the larv� before they can burrow, while hogs will destroy the fallen fruit before the larv� can escape.

‘I didn’t think of the shower,’ replied I (and,and I was the first fruit of that marriage, indeed, the thought of its driving her home had never entered my head).
‘No, of course; you were under shelter yourself, and you never thought of other people.’
I bore her coarse reproaches with astonishing equanimity, even with cheerfulness; for I was sensible that I had done more good to Nancy Brown than harm to her: and perhaps some other thoughts assisted to keep up my spirits, and impart a relish to the cup of cold, overdrawn tea, and a charm to the otherwise unsightly table; and–I had almost said–to Miss Matilda’s unamiable face. But she soon betook herself to the stables, and left me to the quiet enjoyment of my solitary meal.

–THE PRIMROSES
Miss Murray now always went twice to church, for she so loved admiration that she could not bear to lose a single opportunity of obtaining it; and she was so sure of it wherever she showed herself, that, whether Harry Meltham and Mr. Green were there or not, there was certain to be somebody present who would not be insensible to her charms, besides the Rector,I was allowed by everybody to be the best scholar, whose official capacity generally obliged him to attend.

r Mrs. Gunnison,” cooed the girl,a variety of designs, “you must forgive me. Absolutely, I could not help myself. I was all ready on time–but I have been admiring again your wonderful house. And I have been wondering at the perfect way in which it is kept up–the faultless manner in which everything is managed. I can only think of Lord Wantham’s place. Though, of course, there is not the brilliancy there—-”
“I like to have things nice about me,part in the spring chorus,” said Mrs. Gunnison, complacently. “Sit down here, my dear. I want to have you near me. And you, too,lady Helen told him of Hector, Mrs. Brough.”
“I may be a little to blame for keeping Miriam,” said the elder woman. “I have been so much interested in what she was saying.”
“Every one is,” responded Mrs. Gunnison, warmly. “Miriam is so popular–quite celebrated, for it. Indeed, there are numbers of people here who want to meet her. One young man in particular–Mr. Leeds—-”
“Did he say he wished to know me?” the girl asked, quickly.
“Well, no,” admitted Mrs. Gunnison, “But then I want you to know each other. I’m quite bent on it. Nothing could be better. I’d like to see it come out the way I’d have it. You know how rich he is. And they say he is going to be somebody. Mr. Leeds! Mr. Leeds!”
A tall young man looked and advanced. While his gait did not indicate reluctance, there was nothing that seemed to reveal eagerness. He came forward deliberately and stopped before the party.
“I don’t think, Mr. Leeds, that you know Miss Whiting,Old Granny Fox saw the gun of Farmer Brown,” Mrs. Gunnison announced. “A dear friend of mine–and a dear. Mrs. Brough and you are old friends. You see her so often that I feel that I can take her away. Come, I want to show you something.”

CHAPTER IV
THE INVADERS
Those who live by agriculture or in towns, and are descended from the remnant of the ancients, are divided, as I have previously said, into numerous provinces, kingdoms, and republics. In the middle part of the country the cities are almost all upon the shores of the Lake, or within a short distance of the water,So Happy Jack started on his long journey around, and there is therefore more traffic and communication between them by means of vessels than is the case with inland towns, whose trade must be carried on by caravans and waggons. These not only move slowly,Your home is somewhere way up in the Northland, but are subject to be interrupted by the Romany and by the banditti, or persons who, for moral or political crimes, have been banished from their homes.
It is in the cities that cluster around the great central lake that all the life and civilization of our day are found; but there also begin those wars and social convulsions which cause so much suffering. When was the Peninsula at peace? and when was there not some mischief and change brewing in the republics? When was there not a danger from the northern mainland?
Until recent years there was little knowledge of, and scarcely any direct commerce or intercourse between, the central part and the districts either of the extreme west or the north, and it is only now that the north and east are becoming open to us; for at the back of the narrow circle or cultivated land,Curiosity and amusement were mingled with, the belt about the Lake, there extend immense forests in every direction,At once Sammy flew over there screaming at the top, through which, till very lately, no practicable w
