Short Story Written for the Guardian by “Dan Casey.”

(Continued form Saturday.)

As this proposition had more of gen-

erosity than justice in it. I demurred a little ou that ground, but he easily per- suaded me thatit was necessary, that I,|his only confidant, should be the man to share the reward as well as the dan- ger of the experiment,aud so it was ar- ranged. We were to meet at his house inthe evening and test the machine. That was the first thing_to be done.

The hours ,that intervened between

then and sunset, were, I think, the longest I ever spent; but they passed and as the sun disappeared behind the western hills, we were ready for what 1 to each of us was the greatest event in our lives. Within the sheltering vines _ofthe summer house, we prepared our ship. The propeller, when spread out for work,measured ten feet in diameter, and was so adjusted that it could be folded like an umbrella. In about half an hour we had steam on the eug'ine,aud by a simple contrivance of hand-work-

ed fans, we soon had the ship, as we 1

now called her. above the garden shrub- bery, hosting higher and onward, until . we had reached a clear space outside the village. Here we adjusted the pro- peller, which until uow. stood out like a spar with a furled sail. Steam was turnfd on. and working slowly audi cautiously at first, we found she res.; poadi-d readily, not only to the propel- ` ler but to the steering ' gear. How `l anxiously we watched her eiery move- ment. turning her to right :rd l--ir., now l upward, now down ward, not a word I spoken! Breatblessly we watched her, i as more steam was turned on ! Away she sped. straight as au arrow, upward, onward. till the earth seemed drifting past us as if caught up by some mighty- whirlwind, and was being hurled away i into the night we were leaving behind i us. The' evening was perfectly Cll-281°. the stars shone with a brilliancy I had never sein before. Twilight was deep- suing in the valleys; the river, that heretofore had been only a muddy stream, was now a silver thread that seemed drawn by an invisible hand to- l ward-[the silv-r bay in the distance.'I`he village which we had left a few minu- , tes ago was now a °peck,its white houses , phd shining chui ch spires givin! it *hge

j reeled with the speed of our flight. And I still we had never uttered a word. Evans’ hand was on the l--ver that con

deepening twilight, first to our village

,was now fiually decided. He would

. get ready. Au hour of preparation found us with our valises on board, a well supplied larder,two good mariners’ icompasses and a week’s supply of coal. ` I need not enter into tho details of our llhome leaving. We both deceived our ,wives for the first time in our lives. telling them we were going to the lconutry for a week’s absolute hiding ip and rest. We justified the deception (with the thought that on our return Twben explanations would be possible, a few thousand dollars would mollify any heart-buruings that might follow.

About midnight we started, and when

abovethe obstructions of earth, We set ‘our course due east, and gave her he: lhead. Sho darted off like a rocket.

This system ot tiavel was new to us both, and I ea-'inot say it was enjoyable. Keeping her course at an attitude that' isecured us against obstructions of any kind we sped on in the dark. How dis- stinctly I remember the coming on of grey dawn, when off the Newfound- land Coast. its jagged and serried Capes whirling past us, still with that monster--like swr ep,still in the hands of a monsteillflut over the broad Atlantic, lying like a leadeu sheet awav down beneath us. onward we sped! Up rose the sun, streaking the sky with long patches of red and gold, and mirroring i.selfin myriad suns in the depths of the rolling ocean. Onwr-.rd,ever onward, ti l the roar of the air whizzing past us, seemed like a hurricane into the very teeth of which we were being driven by an irresistible force! Unable to bear the terrible strain any longer, I shouted to Evans,

"Stop her. for Goil’s sakel” He

backed the lever. She slowed up, and now we breathed again, breathed the fresh ocean air. Away in the distance to the south of us we could see a large ocean steamer speeding westward. Alittle- north of the course we were tol- lowing, a gigantic iceberg hove in sight. its tail precipitous sides bathed in i the rich golden hues of the morning sunlight, spires, pinuacles, crosses, inky caverus, giving it the appearance of a little city cut adrift from the world and floating out into darkness.

Again Evans pushed the lever, and

again we sped on through the air. The ocean. thousands of feet below us. spread out like a huge white sheet, not a ship, not a speck could we see any- where. From our dizzy height., with our maddening speed, it seemed as if we had ` become separated from the earth, and were rushing onward into infinite space. Wife and children now seemed a part of the life we had left. Would we ever see them again ?Would the voyage ever come to an end 5’ Could brain and mind stand this strain any longer ?

I looked back at Evans. His hand

still grasped the lever. He was ap-

_way. Earth and sea and sky, were

floating away and we were breasting an p eternal gale which could not move us, against which we could not prevail. l Suddenly Evans shouted, “Land ahead, theres Ireland I" And away off I fcould see what seemed a shadow on the ihorizori. Gradually it took shape- 1 ;land. headlauds, rivers. forests, houses, villages; and now it was beneath our feet, and night was coming on again.

Looking backward, 1 could see the,

colors fading out of the Western sky. I The 'sun had disappeared, leaving only a bright, broad, triangular skimmer of

Again she slowed up, and again I was

able to breathe freel But the strain

ing flash. It was quickly followed by

and then to Evans` garden. The matter a terrific thunder peal. How it crash- int

ed and roared around us ! It seemed as

great electric cloud, sparks fl iw from the sides of the ship. The copper wire, the talisman with which our little craft could defy the hitherto uncoiiquer- ed law of gravitation, became a live coil. Sputleriug sparks flew out on all sides. The storm was now upon' us in all its fury. a violent gale, blinding lightning, and deafening thunder 2 We could not speak. We,or at least, I was was dazei, stunned, motionless. That horrible fear again seized me! What if the lightning should melt our wire ! I called Evans, but even as I spoke, the wire became red hot, turned White, parted, and our ship dropped like a stone ! Down through the thunder cloud, down through coils, rings, bars of living lightning,down into darkness !

Seeing nothing, knowing only that

in a few seconds we would b*iashed . to the earth, and all would b over, I i became calm. I was going to die; it would all be over in a moment! Home and wife and children-my whole life passed before me. Would they ever ’ know ‘what had happened? I should not have deceivedthem. This was my 3 only regret now. Could I only have blotted out that little deception, could I only send one little message to explain, could I only make them feel that I had ‘ never lied to them. I could die without , a ping. All this, and much more' passed through my mind, as I kept falling, falling. waiting for the crash that I knew must be near. At last it , came! We struck what I supposed must be a tree, glanced I off and btruck another. I was hurled violently against I the ship, my head striking against the

bottom. and all was over(

When I awoke I found myself in bed, ‘

with mv old doctor peering into my y face and holding my hand with his fin-N; gers on my pulse. I felt so faint, that it took all my strength to whisper: _

"I wasn’t killed after all 1” ‘-No my boy” he said. "but don’t

Increase the Subsidies.

Silt,-With all provincial govern-I

ments of this Dominion the great and important question is, how tovmako the revenue meetthe expenditure. 'During the past ten years nearly every prov- iuce has had io face a big deficit., The provincial debts are piling up. and the interest charges each year adding to tho burden. Over and above ihi subsidy \ received from the general government y almost all this revenue 'for provincial purposes must be raised by dircl taxa- tion. In a new country, such as this dirmt taxation is not popular. Cover- ing a large territory with a small popu- lation ours is a costly country to run. With four times the population the different provinces would cost veryf little more for roads or bridges. edu- cation, public works and administration of justice. That seems strange, but nevertheless it is true. Wouid our roads and bridges cost any more if there were four times the traffic on them? l Court hosues, jails. and all public build-p ings would cost no more than at present. i Some of our jails have to-day, only one prisoner and that one the the jailor,and you know our judges have not enough to do to keep them out of mischief. Our schools would not cost any more if they had four times the number of

“Water,” I whispered. And be gave

ouitft for $50 a box it lt could not bore-

ldirect taxation. Until our population increases we must have a different

ment. With a monopoly of the customs ,and excise the federal go .ernment finds no difficulty in making both ends meet, and can well afford to spend a portion of what they collect in duties towards the support of aducatio_n`,&c.&c. through the channels of the provincial govern- , ments. A compact, or partnership was entered into at confederation `just and I fair to each province, and it is useless for any one province to - ask for better

will 'only|mean $2,500,000 for tho feder- al Finance Minister to raise and it can very easily be done by indirect taxation, or perhaps the Ministers of Railways and Public Works might raise that i amount by practicing a little economy. Under this scheme P. E. Island would get an additional subsidy of 855.000 and Quebec about $700,000. and the, other provinces in like proportion. We take s can-ius every 10 years and it should then be decided what subsidyi should be paid during the next 10 years -it might be reduced or increased as circumstaucel demanded.
