“The Man
Who Stole
The Earth”
By W. Ihlt Whitt.
CHAPTER LXII.
The days that followed the hanging
of Schaur wore hu»v olio*, not onlv
for Strong, but th«* hondu or eveo
other govern men t of Europe.
Apart from this, he received I rout
Felice dally new* of Diana, lie learn
ed that ah** wah well, but greatly «b’-
pleased In spirit because of the » lose
confinement to which the cx-king sub-
Jerted her.
And In her own wav Felice urged
Strong to return and resrue Diana
from the oppression which waa weigh
ing on her spirits
And as the days went by the mes
sages grew more urgent. ’I he ex king
apparently was bitterly and remorse
lessly pursuing Ills pulley of making
out Pianu to he Insane. So success
ful, indeed, waa lit* In this cowardly
treatment of ins daughter that from
Fellre’a letter * It was e; to .»eo that
the princess was becoming tapluly
hysterical.
This greatly preyed upon Strong's
mind, but he wpn compelled to put oft'
any steps to release Diana irom her
Imprisonment and from the tortures
which she was suffering, beeauac the
times were critical, and his absence
from Bomberg even for a day would
have plunged him into difficult us with
which it would have been almost im
possible to cope.
Fortunately, the people look the ex
ecution of Schaur very calmly, and
toward the end of the week the city
had almost resumed lis normal aspect
except that building operations were
in progress ou every side.
There was. however, over all an air
of great uneasiness. News came
through from Berlin. Vienna, Paris.
Bn<l even from The Hague Itself, that
ill** sittings at the contercnco of the
powers there were long and acrimoni
ous.
And then came the news that it had
been decided to crush Strong, no mat
ter at what cost, even to the extent
of wiping out the entire population of
the country which he had compelled
to accept him as a ruler.
From Berlin, Parii. Vienna and
Borne came tidings of the mobilization
of troops, and the remains of tin shat
tered forces of the old King of Syl
van in had been again massed some
miles beyond the frontier, where they
awaited the arrival of the great arm
ies from Husain, Austria and Her
inanv.
Meantime, strong had lest not a run
ment In setting to work on ’he build
ing of other airship.'. Inuiglcy was
lodged on the balloon ground, and
there, with the best engineers that
Strong could procure- sont** at nis
bidding came from England he push
ed forward at top speed the construe
tlon of three more airships e.actly ou
the model of the Victor.
The work was comparatively sim
ple it was only a question of dupli
cating the different parts of which
ihe Victor was composed, and Strom;
felt pretty confident that to* 1 th r ei*
ships would bo ready within a fort
night.
, Dally the Victor anile I overhead,
and her presence acted a3 a constant
reminder to the people of Bomberg.
and of Buikania in general, of the un
limited power wdiich Strong wielded,
and so any desire to defy him was
gradually worn down.
At the last, indeed, the people even
accepted hint as u man on whom
had best rely.
Strong's life at the palace was sim
ple in the extreme. I!*’ rose early and
went to bed late, lie worked both by
day and by night, strengthening his
resources and generally pla< ing Bal
l-.ania in a position to withstand the
shock ol battle which must com*' when
the hosts of Europe moved to the at
tack.

The Crime of
i x ravagant Funerals
By DOROTHY DIX-
In no p'a»e on rarih Is the folly *u
1 ;*% lifun as bldcpui* as w hen it tuoc-ki
ns from the grave. One would limp;
t list In the an fill presence of deHtjo
human being. would blur th« ir vui -
Hj ihelr pretensions, tb**lr love of
dbplay swept from them, and fo
ot) <e, at o. on hi be simple and
t»in< ere.
This in far enough from bring Urn
ease. Grotesquely inappropriate as u
is, when one of it 4 loved ones dies 1'
tin very time that the average fantli:
)>• most filled wiiii emulation 10 ouido
Its neighbors ill parade, and so the
show funeral is just us common as ta -
shew wedding
In it* grief the childish human mind
turns to the *pe» larular for relief, and
so wo lay th< dead body In an or nut •
cas-ket. we heap costly flowers above
li, and with Mack draped hearae ami
horses with nodding plumes, and with
sable garments, ami all the expensive
pharapbernalia of woe wo carry the
poor clay to the grave, and give it
back to the earth whence It came and
to which It Is returning.
And we are mtghtly pleased with
ourselves because we gave poor Tom
01 Sally, or father or mother, a better
funeral than the Jonses or the Smiths
did their sister, «»r brother, or parents.
"Vanity of vanities" natth the
preacher, "all is vanity." Andi» has
no other such illustration as at u fu
neral.
Foolish and out of taste as an ex
travagant funeral Is *or 'he rich, it
becomes a crime among the poor. Yet
it is the common custom among people
in moderate circumstances to reck leas
1> run themselves, In debt whenever
any member of their family dies.
Entails Many Hardanipa.
To provide a coffin with solid sil
ver handles, to furnish tin* carriages
in which p >frsßlonal funeral goer",
get free rides to the cemetery. and to
buy new mourning garments often
means the Jeopardizing of the futute
r.f all the surviving member* of the
family. The already overworked man
must work harder to pay off the un
dertaker's bill.
Yb® tired, worn mother must scrimp
and deny herself even more. The lit fin
(hlldten must go without the food and
clothes they need. Often a talented
boy or girl must be taken from school
and put to work, and some aged mem
ber of the household denied, the com
forts that would make tlicir last days
easy.
Os course we *a\ that we spend
more than we rati afford in burying
our dead in order to .show our affec
tion for them.
If this is true there is no sight so
cynical as that of the poor, who have
never bad any luxuries in life, being
li«f<l on satin couches when their old
bones are past nil feeling, or ihe old
hands that have never held a rose :n
life being filled in death with costly
hot-house blooms.
If we have any money to spend to
show out affection for our loved ones,
surely it is belter to give it while
they are alive and can enjoy it. Post
mortem exhibitions of love and tender
Hess are of no value except for the
benefit of the neighbors.
So far ns the dead are concerned,
the funeral, whether gorgeous or bum
ble. cannot matter; but of one thin?
w» are sure, and that Is that the dead
who have loved us do not wish to add
to our burdens.
The mother, who has sacrificed her
self all her life to her c hildren, would
rol sleep the sweeter in her grave for
knowing thst her darlings had to go
cold and hungry to pay for the forty
carriages that adorned her funeral.
Tmi hard-working man. who has
saved up a little money, that was lit
erally blood money, for his wife and
baby, would have even the peace of
the‘infinite broken for him if he couil
know that the silly woman bad spent
he r little- Inheritance for a tine funeral
for bint.
it l> time that people learned to long
at this matter more sanely, and *o
I have the courage to put,, their dead
'cvj.y dcpntl) and simply, and with u
I flue regard to wliut they tun afford.
There should! be* n'o costly e-ottili, tto
joyptuelvo flower* no gaping crowd ui
curious onlookers.
Every funeral should be as plain
and private as death is Itself, and a
1 man should go to hi.i last resting pla> •
ace impanied only by thk two or three;
i who haw loved him In life.
That a family should Impoverish It-
I self to provide a show funeral for uu*
of it>- mt mhers is as barbaric- as for
an 111«11mn widow to burn herself upon
tin suttee:
I ife is for the living, not for tin*
dead, and our duty Is with those who
are still with us. not with those who
have passed beyond our reach.
Mourning Garb Unhealthful.
In the light of u broader knowledge
we should break away from the old
superstitions that fetter us to the
rave. Not only should funerals be
made simpler and cheaper and less
ostentatious, but the custom of women
shtoudiug themselves In crepe, when
any cine they love dies, should lie
' abolished.
1 The heart that really grievea has no
need to advertise its sorrow by flying
'h black veil, while' for those who wear
mo timing simply because it Is a con
vention ot iushlon, it becomes n paro
dy on bereavement.
Physicians are unanimous in saylug
that nothing could be more unhealtd
ful tot a dedicate, nervous, sorrow
stricken woman than for her to shut
I out the air and sunshine from herself,
by mean* of heavy folds of black, to
sa' nothing of tin* depressing «>ffo» t
•of tin- go Ib, which keeps her sorrow
» v«-r before he-r and stalls her with It•.»
1 n niembratu-e every time she looks at
i her gown.
Still, knowing this, hundreds of wo
men annually offer up their lives on
‘the altar of wearing mourning simply
tbecause they lack the courage not to
dc: it.
To the poor woman is added the
still greater burden of expense that
comes when she- has to throw away all
her good colored clothes and buy a
new outfli of black. Yet she dare not.
follow her own good eetise and in
clination. and wear her mourning
: within her soul instead of on her back.
Os all things 111 the world, nothing
crier aloud more for reform than our
• attitude toward the dead. If the wo
men’s club* of this country want to
really do something for humanity, let
them take up a crusade against the
extravagant funeral and the- eompul
! S ory w earing of mourning. For It Is
the women who an* responsible for
this folly, and the women alone who
! 1 an correct it.
Difficult Advice.
Charles (1. Gate*, the well-known
• financier, was discussing m the Calu
met club in Chicago the 55.500 bull
dog that ho had recently bought.
"Can one make money by breeding
such valuable dogs?" a Chicago man
l Inquired
"Perhaps one ran.’’ said Mr. Gates.
[He laughed. "To do so. though, would
be as difficult as to follow Mrs. Payee s
advice.
Mrs. Rayce, you know, was talking
to another young woman at a tea.
" ‘How much better off a man w ould
! he." said the other young woman. *il
I he would only take his wife's advice!'
“ ‘Quite true, my dear.’ said Mrs.
Rayce. Tve advised my George time
and iime again not to bet on horses
that don’t win. but he will do it.’”—

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Do Not Encourage Him.
Dear Miss Fairfax—! have been go
ing out with u young man very often
since the beginning of last summer.
I only cared for him as a friend and
thought he reciprocated in like man
tier.
After watching closely, for the past
few months the marked attention and
frequent visits he pays me, 1 atn con
vinced that he loves me and has seri
ous intentions.
I am twenty-three years of age, pos
sessing what i would terra, a fair ed
ucation; my parents' wealth has gain
ed for me a good musical education as
well.
This gentleman Is a few years my
senior; his financial condition is not
very good (a thing, whfch, caring for
him as I do. 1 would overlook) but the
great obstacle that confronts me is
the fact that he lacks, in my estima
tion, even a plain education.
Now, the vital point is. how am I
to act in this case? He calls occa
sionally and as he does not npproach
the subject I seem to have no voice
In the matter; I fear I am com
mitting a great wrong by leading him
on.
Ought I to take the initiative, or
what would you suggest?
TROUBLED CONSCIENCE.
It is rather a delicate question to
handle, but you should be able to man
age* it. If you are convinced that his
intentions are serious and you have
no intention of marrying him. you
should stop his coming to the house
so often. If you c are for him it may
be that you could help him to over

A Girl’s Whim.
Dear Miss Fairfax—About four
mouths ago I met a young girl two of
throe years my Junior. 1 became well
acquainted with her, and have askedi
her to the theater several times. Of*
late she has shown mo the cold shoul
der for some trivial reason I do not 4
know. She gave me one reason, but J;
do not believe it. She has given m®
back some Inferior trinkets, and I have
also don** the same. Would you
advise me what to do. as I hat® t®
loavo this girl und huvo grown quit®
fond of her D. O. B.
If she has really taken a dlslik®- to
you I am afraid that, you will And It
rather hard to renew the friendship.
It is possible, hoiyever, ihat her cool

may be able to straighten ni a Items out.
Why not write and ask her if she Win

A Laggard In Lave.
De*,r Miss Fairfax:
1 am 20 years of nge and have been
engaged to a young physician 13 years
my senior for several months. After
1 became engaged to him u young lady
of another dty Informed me she was
engaged to him for a l.ngth of time.
He ilid not deny this, hut said the en
gagement was broken. I cannot un
derstand hts actions Ho lives only
three Mocks awn: from me. Some
times he culls regularly and other
times Ids calls are so far apart that i
atn inclined to think 1m is disinterest
ed. He takes me out' about once m
three or four months. When he call*
he is very pleasant, and never makes
any special excuse more than that ha
whs busy. B. T.
The fft< t of his having been engaged
before he met you should not both; r
you. Tin only thing that concerns you
is Ms negligence as a fiance. Tla cer
tainly should show you more attention
than lie does. It might be a good thing
to have a plain talk with him. Tell
hint that yon foel that he Is not *att*~
