How an Aeronaut
w as Captured
By MARTHA V. MONROE
Lieutenant Ben Harbeson of the I
United States aeroplane corps was call- '
ed to the telephone.
""Well 7'
"Mr. Uarbeson?"
"Yes, I'm Uarbeson."
"I'm Colonel Carrington. I've cnlleil
jou up to say that Jack is anxious to
go np with you for a flight."
"What Jark?"
"My .lark."
The colonel was laboring uiuler a de
lusion that Harlii'sou had been at his
quarters and was familiar with his
family. The truth was that the lieu
tenant had never been at headquarters
long enough to make ll.eir acquaint
ance. There was a pause l'i the dia
logue, Carrington expecting that his
■ubordinate would offer to take .lack
up with him. the lieutenant shrinking |
from the responsibility. Of coarse, the
former had no authority lo command
the latter to do such a thing: lie must j
volunteer.
"How old Is Jack?" asked Uarbeson
"Eighteen."
"Nervy?"
"Very."
"Well, I'm going tip this afternoon
for a short trip. I don't mind taking a
passenger."
"Thank you. What lime?"
"Three o'clock."
There were two goodbys and two re
ceivers were hung up. Uarbeson went
away muttering to himself lie dis
liked to take any one up with him that
ho did not know and as to whose nerve
he was Ignorant Indeed, he would
have positively refused the request had
It not been made by his commanding
officer. As It was he could not very
well refuse. He only hoped the boy
would not get frightened or dizzy and
bring about an accident
Shortly before 3 o'clock Harbeson
superintended the rolling of his ma
chine from the sheds on to the level
ground from which he proposed to
make his start and was examining Its
part# to see if everything was secure
when he saw a girl open the gate and
come tripping over the turf toward
blin. She came up with a smile and
saluted Harbeson In a very friendly
mnnner.
"It's awfully good of you to take me
up with yo*i_ Mr.. Harbeson.". she said.
"Take jou i p with iiieV" replied the
lieutenant w ai.oringly
"Why. res." rejoined the girl, some
what taken aback at his asking the
question ;:ntl li s manner. "Didn't papa
arrange it with you
"Colonel Carriiipton telephoned rae
that his sun ,l:i- ii wi-hed to go up."
"I'm Jaeii." rejoined the girl, laugh
ing. ".My n;t; s Jai-.Mielin. 10 very body
calls nie Jaek."
Here was a dilemma If he took the
girl tip with hitn a:id she should be
come patii' <:i ti he mk'ht clitig to
him like a drn*vnli g p-'rs -n and be the
cause of tile d< atii lioili of them. If
he sent her aw;:;, le inh-ht ofTepd Ills

moment, then gi.ve l:t to tin- girl. who

the sensation was as new to him as to
her.
Presently there came a gust of wind
that turned the aeroplane on Its beam.
Harbesou pale!, wlniu .lack caught her
breath. Hut the moment the machine
righted Jtscll she •' oped her hands
delightedly, e\ ' ii ning:
"Wasn't tli.it just too lovely for any
thing! Do it auain "
Ilarbeson. who*e heart was beating
like a kettledrum. made 110 reply that
could tip hi -d. 1': -ii■ !i lie remarked 'o
himself tli.:: if ever there was a fool it
was the girl I'e-i him Nevertheless
despite the sh.ieS •"Jnd received he
a I most Kinile I and colli.1 not help think.
Ing 1 hat .laek was a very delightful
fool.
The weather was a trifle gusty when
they started, and in the upper air they
found it more so. After having been
nearly capsized Ilarbeson started to
return. lie was caught in another gust
so severe that Miss .lack was this time
suddenly made aware that she was
likely to be spilled from a thousand
'eet up in the air
Both her fair arms went arouud the
lieutenant's n - !:

released him and covered her fn^ewith

Harbeson is now a captain and one
of the most experienced aero men In
the United States service. He Bay?
that he never Intended to marry and
probably nerer would have married
had he not beeu n«irly strangled a
thousand feet up In the air by a irfrL*
His wife's reply to the allegation Is:
"No such thing."
GLORY IN THEIR GLOOM.
These Pessimists Love Misery and
Revel in Wretchedness.
Vowing never to admit that passing
time has given the world any cause to
rejoice or that It has brought or ever
can bvlng any good to the human race,
Liverpool's "Pezzers' society" stands
out unique among the many organlxa
tions which have come into existence.
Its members are true pessimists, and tt
appears that the brotherhood was
known originally as the Liverpool Soci
ety of Pessimists. Later the name was
contracted to Its more academic pres
ent form. t \.v. 4, £• »
Curiously enough, the original mem
bers did not set out to be preachers of
gloom. Quito the contrary. They were
amateur social reformers and dabblers
In abstract science who met occasional
ly In an obscure coffee house. The ap
parent futility of their efforts to Im
press the world, which did not desire
to be reformed In any way. and which
evinced no taste for their abstract ad
ence, caused the little band to organise
to take what comfort it might In pes
simism.
None of the members must be cheer
ful on pain of Immediate expulsion.
They are only optimists about one
thing, and that Is their pessimism.
They revel In their gloom and are only
happy in their unhapplness. The soci
ety Is well conducted. It has Its rules
and Its officers. The greatest event la
the pessimist year is the annual "Pes
zcrs' razzle," when the members make
a gloomy pilgrimage, which, lasts
throughout the night On this occasion
they go forth in costume as nearly ap
proacblng sackcloth and ashes as pos
sible, and a dark, dismal night is chos
en. Supper over—and there is nothing
gloomy about the food—the tables are
pushed back, the cheerful lamps are
extinguished and the company sit
round the Are smoking churchwarden
P'i'es. , . , ,, J
A little later the hardier "reners"
embark on a gloomy tramp, which butts
throughout the night Down country
lanes, across the field* And through the
woods they go, never missing * grave
yard or anything really depressing. In
'.he churchyard of a very ancient par
ish they halt and remain for an hour
or so while Gray's "Elegy" is solemnly
recited by the arch-Pexxer and other
Pezzers less arch recite gloomy poems
of their own or some one else's compo
sition.
If the night is unusually dark and
they are able to lose themselves In con
sequence they are as happy as sworn
pessimists may permit themselves to
be. It is Uien that the society's torch
bearer is allowed to exercise his sol fr
aud rare—prerogative of lighting up.
The "torch" is a very ancient horn lan
tern stuck on the end of a pole and
containing a pessimistic candle. It Is
only to be lighted when the Peaiers
are utterly lost and cannot possibly
find their way without Illumination,
and when their bearings are ascertain
ed it Is promptly extinguished.—Argo

Alarlc, the lirst of the barbarian
kings who entered and sacked th« Eter
nal City and the first enemy who had
appeared before its walls since the
time of Hannibal, Is said to have re
ceived as the price of his departure
from the city (during the first siege, In
A. D. 408) 5,000 pounds weight of sold,
3,000 pounds weight of silver, 3,000
silken robes, 3,000 pieces of scarlet
cloth and 4.000 pounds of pepper. In
order to furnish a portion of the ran

came necessary to melt down some of
