Fogs and storms--which everybody knows about now, but of which nobody had any conception those days--lay ahead of her. Four days later, 1,000 miles east of Cape Hatteras, her crew brought her down near the water, cut loose the lifeboat they had swung underneath her, dropped it to the Atlantic with a mighty splash, and from the deck of a steamer that rescued them wat- ched her bag, almost empty of hy- drogen now, dritf away. For three nights and more than three days they had fought with wind and weather, Once in the dark and fog, they missed by inches the masts of a chooner, whose crew seeing the Am erica's black bag with her engine ex- haust pipes red hot, come at them but of the dark sky--were frighten. ed almost out' of their wits, Once she almost exploded. On the third morning the sun came out, the hy- drogen in her bag began to expand, and she shot up to an altitude of 3,- 600 feet, "They'd opened the 'air valve in- stead of the gas valve," Mr. Wellman Girl Guides of Ontario to Meet For First Provincial Conference MRS. GORDON RATCLIFFE District Captain of the Oshawa Girl Guides: who has been appointed chairman of the provincial Girl Guide convention which will be held at the Central Y.W.C.A., Toronto, on Saturday, November Sth. "We didn't get that gas valve open a second too soon. And then when we did open it, we were through, We had to let out so much gas that we knew that when the sun went down, and the gas contracted, she would no longer stay up. We were so short of hydrogen before that happened that we'd had to break up one of three motors, which was out of commission, and throw it over board." Since that adventure, Mr, Wellman has never ridden in any kind of air craft, He has never been up in an aeroplane at all, hut he believes in planes as the future masters of the said TRY TO SUPPLY MATE FOR TINY Giant Hippopotamus in Zoo Morose and Glum, Keepers Find New York ~Tiny, Central Park's most pronounced bachelor, is to have a mate, Tiny weighs over two tons, and is the pride of the Zoo because he is one of the few hippopotami born there, The hero of this story is 22 years old, For quite some time Zoo-keeper Bob Hurton noticed that Tiny was morose and glum, Mr, Hurton came to the conclusion that Jut feeding and transporting a mate isn't so casy. There are no feminine hippos in any zoo in this country of suitable Tiny needed a mate, age Tiny's attorney, the zoo-keeper, has just about persuaded the park hoard that a mate should be provid ed or hippos happiness will be af- fected detrimentally So, negotia tions are under way for provision of Tiny's happiness from the Hamburg 200 in Germany, where the nearest eligible hippopotamus is available, The difficulty is that it costs quite a bit to send a full-grown hippo half way around the globe, It is not like shipping a lion or tiger--simply cag- ing it till it arrives, Wherever hippo goes, its bathub goes too, Otherwise, he's likely to sicken and die, And to provide a hath for a hippo on tour is no mean task But Mr. Hurton just can't stand the idea of Tiny being unhappy, so a room and private bath will be en- ar, gaged for Mrs, Hippo, 20 Years Ago From At. | What to do? Would we could tell What we do is always well, wl obby Coon, Bobby Coon was running in a panie, This means that he was so frightened that he was running without any thought or plan, Be- hind him a dog was barking and Hobby didn't need to see that dog to know that he was running with his nose on the ground and that he was having no trouble in following every twist and. turn that he (Bob- by Coon) had made, You see Boh by's scent was so fresh and strong that the dog easily followed it by means of that wonderful nose of hie. And back of the dog was the dog's master and at Jeast one other hunter. Bobby knew this by the sound of volees which reached him, Do you wonder that he was in a panic? It {8 a dreadful thing to have to turn and run for one's life, Bobby's first thought was to run straight for his home, a certain big hollow tree, and 'he did head for it. By the time he was -near- ly there he had begun to get over his panic and to do some real thinking. "This won't do," by. 'No, sir, this won't do, If that dog were alone it would be all right, For that matter, if that dog were alone, I could climb any of these trees and laugh at him, for thank goodness a dog cannot climb a tree. Dut those heartless hunters can climb or they can cut a tree down, It will not do to let them know where my home is. No, sir, it will not do at all, Somehow I must get rid of that dog, but how?

Bobby made for a certain big hemlock tree and scrambled up, A little more than half way up a big branch extended and touched a big branch of a neighbowing tree. The two branches formed a bridge over which Chatterer the Red Squirrel had crossed many times, Bobby crossed that way now. In the thought By Thornton W.

Twill |He's up this tree! Murry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!" he was barking, and his master heard and understood, Presently there was a crashing of brush and two hunters appeared at the foot of the tree, "We've treed him, all right; but I fear it is going to prove a hard tree to find him in," sald. one, "I'll ¢limb it.

[I didn't think he would let those hunters come over here in the Green Forest, Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" Meanwhile, the hunter in the tree was climbing higher and high- er, As he climbed he flashed a light along each branch, "I don't believe that coon is in this tree at all," he called down, "Then he must he in the next tree," replied the other hunter, So the hunter in the tree came down and clfmbed the next tree with the same result, "I'll take the dog and see if we can pick up his trail, for he must have come down without our know. ing it," sald the other, Two minutes later the dog found answer letters." -Mrs, T.V.
