Elderly Passenger In Airplane Waa i
Looking for Some Thrills for
HIb Good Money.
Last .summer Kokotuo, Ind., had tho
usual airplane pilot who took pas
sengers up for $1 n minute. Tho
pilot was approached one day by a
man who was easily within earshot
of eighty years. Tho pilot took him '
aboard and soared around In "straight 1
Hying," In order not to give tho order
ly passenger any thrills that would
be dangerous to his heart uctlon.
After the customnry fifteen minutes
ho slid gracefully to the ground and
motioned his piiHgeiigcr to nllght.
The old man compiled, and then
walked up to the aviator.
"Say," he exclaimed, "are you a real
llyer? What about Iininelman turns,
barrel rolls, Ioip-tIie-loops, nose
dive, tall wpln, falling leaf, pnucake,
and so on7 C'an you do any of those
things?"
"Sure," replied the avlutor, "but I
did not think you cared about nny of
those things. They are a trifle risky,
you know, and might 'upset your'
stomach."
"Well, I paid for a good ride and I
expected some of those things," tho
passenger countered, "and I wduld
like to get them. Give me all you
got. Tumble around in tho air llko
n porpoisejn the ocean."
Hie aviator told him to climb
aboard and he would accommodate
him. lie gave the passenger "all he
had."
"That's Unci" exclnlmed tho pas- I
senger, as lie climbed out of the
cockpit the second time. "That's tho
way I like to ride I" Indianapolis

VAST RICHES IN OLD MINES
Wealth Awaits Lucky Prospector
Who Can Find One, Though Many
Are Known to Exist.
Wo are all familiar with Sir Itldcr 1
Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines"
npr was ho by any means tho first to
put forward the theory, though in a
romance, that many old and hut half
worked mines might yet nwalt tho
patient toll of the searcher. Except
in cases where there had been long
continued use, It is not at all improb
able that there are ancient mines
ready to reward the Intelligent
methods of today. But now In Idaho,
wc are told, "the 'lost' gold mine of
the Upper Salmon river district" has
been rediscovered. A rich ledge had
been found by two prospectors and
worked by them a little ; then they fell
out and a Spokane pollcemun, who had
the secret from oilb of them, sought
the mine for 20 years; then he fell
out, and now it lias been found anew,
to enrich the finders, for the ledge
proper Is said to be from four to six
feet wide with a rich qunrtz streak
that shows the gold shining In Its
grasp. The gold has ulwnys been
there and somebody for many years
has believed It to bo there; It only
needed to ho found to add another
to the romances of fact.
Fine Home for Young Singers.
Appreciative of the contribution to

and desirous of giving them tho op
portunity to develop their art, John
D. Kockefeller, Jr., has placed at their
disposal us their home a line old
house nnd grounds on Washington
Heights, New York city, known as
Llbbyf castle. The house was built
25 years agd and Is now one of tho
landmarks of the city. Its architec
ture Is a combination of medieval Nor
man and Spanish. There are fiO boys
there now, runglng from ten years up
to seventeen. They have been recruit
ed from almost every state In the
Union and every level of society. To
gether with tho course In music they
receive a line academic education that
prepares them for entrance into ' the
higher schools and colleges, says tho
New York Times. Tho grounds
around Llbby castle also make It pos
sible for thciu tb get the proper physi
cal training.

Turtle Eggs In Chow.
Rolled turtle eggs are a novelty
which has been added to tho mess of
tho United States marines on duty at
tho naval station at Guatituuumo Bay,
Cuba.
Two 200-pound turtles were cap
tured recently by marines while sail
ing a small boat on the buy. When
they were killed more than 100 eggs
wore found In each.
Tho egg of the turtle when re
moved from tho body has a soft shell.
Tho egg itself Is about the size of a
lien's egg. Tho Inside resembles In
taste and appearance tho yolk of a
hen's egg.
The eggs are boiled hard, and the
shell Is pooled off like tho outer skin

Tlio mellow glinting sunlight flooded
pn.it the open dnnnvny of the forngo
shed and fell uiMifi a steeping figure
lying prone upon the straw, that of
a young man. Ills face was clear and
open, though marked with bruise and
wnitclieH, "d his clothing torn in
places suggested a recent scrimmage I
common to the lawless district lying
beyond Joel Dalton's ranch.
The Dallons, father and daughter,
had little to do with the rough and
ready groups. The Dnlton ranch hud
become a spot to avoid for the roy
sterers and miners when on u ram
page. A wayfarer might be given a
free meal, but old Joel watched him
suspiciously until he was clear of the
place.
"They are a swashbuckling, worth
less set," he told Kvnllne. "Drink,
gambling, and working the old worn
out diggings Instead of settling down
to respectable farming."
Land and its accumulation was tho
hobby of Dalton and his great dream
was to acquire the eight thousund
acres known as Grass Valley.
"Some day, this stretch will be a
perfect paradise," he predicted. "Once
real workers get to coining, the mun
who has the land wilt reap a royal
fortune."
Evalliii! had been sent for a hay
rake and the discovery of the stran
ger had startled and then Interested
her. Her father appeared abruptly.
"What's this, now?" he demanded.
Evullne Hushed, for her glance at
the hamfsonie intruder was intense.
She stepped aside with u certain de
gree of fear, for she knew her father
to be naturally harsh tempered.
"A tramp, eh?" he observed grating
ly. "Worse a rustler, or looks it."
"Father," ventured Evullne gently,
"don't be so rough with him, please.
He Is young and honest looking."
"He is battered up from a flghL
and probably sleeping oil a spree.
Here, wake upl"
The sluinberer struggled to his feet,
seizing a heavy cudgel at his side.
"You'll not get me again I" ho
shouted, "you rullhin crew!"
"Oh, excuse mo," he udiled Instant
ly, observing Evullne. "I fancied"
but he did not complete the sentence.
He moved unsteadily on one foot und
winced, and noticing that Its shoe
was bedabbled with blood Dalton un
bent a trllle.
"What's the matter with your foot?"
he questioned.
"Only a bullet," replied the in
truder. "He looks half famished," whisper
ed Evullne. "Be gentle with him."
"Since you're so taken with him,
give him a meal, If you like," grum
bled Dalton.
Evullne pitied tlio helpless condition
and apparent suffering of the refugee.
"Lean on my shoulder," she said, "and
get as far as the homo."
She got hlin to the shaded porch
where there was a rocking chair, then
going to the kitchen and returning
with a warmed up, but appetizing
meal.
She heard voices on the porch
alter returning to the kitchen. Then
her father came to her. "That stran
ger has a bad foot," he observed. "I
want sonte bandages and the tallow.
You can ix up a shake down in the
lumber room."
Evallne gladly sol about providing
for the comfort of their guest. He had
evidently told Dalton his name, for
the latter called him Hudson. At the
end of five duys the stranger was able
to hobble about with a cane. He was
pleasant, entertaining and helped
Evallne peel potatoes and shell peas,
set the table and altogether fell In
with domestic ways as If he had once
been a home body. Evullne mentioned
tills to her father. "Somehow he takes
great interest In my land Ideas," ob
served Dalton. "He'd ought to be on
his way."
One morning there drove up to the
house a party of four men. lloth
Evallne and her father recognized
them as members of the county con
stabulary force. "Looking for Arnold
Hudson," spoke up the leader.
"That's me," promptly announced
Hudson, stepping forward. "Bound to
guard me safe out of the district, eh?"
he laughed.
"Got orders and pay to do just that,"
replied the otnelnl, tendering a letter.
"lie Is a son of a big land man at
Denver," observed the otllcer to Dal
ton. '.'Worth n million In his own right,
was looking around for Investments,
got In the hands of a gang bent on
holding him for ransom, got away, es
caped and we are deputized to get
him back home."
A shude of disappointment and
loneliness was In Evallne's eyes as
Hudson left thoin. She watched the
little cavalcade disappear down the
road like a breath of romnnco out of
her life. A week later, however, Hud
son returned with his father and sev
eral others.
"They have come to talk business
with your father about a great coloni
zation scheme In the valley," Arnold
Hudson told Evallne. "I've come to
talk what's been on my mind ever
since I tlrst saw you."
"What Is that?" questioned Evallno
artlessly.
"Love," was the prompt response
"My heart Is right hero, where I lost
It to you, und I want you to say you'll
