At cue instant the ships would lie re I'lkd, immediately afterward they w uid lo attracted again, and thus they r. dragged hither antl thither, bat iirt r a! U to break from the invisible 1' i-a which the comet had cast upon tl.eiu. The latter was moving with n rn,' us vt hK-ity toward the uun, and f n- ..u. utly we were being carried la' k a-airj, away frt.m tho object of our M -iati. )U. with a fair prospect of being hs-t an d in Hazing vapors when the teinct had dragged ns, unwilling pris ' itito the immediate neighborhood ut til.- s. lar furnace.

Waxthis to uid it all. then? Was this the fare that Providence had in store for Vtre the hopes of the earth thns to lerisk? Was the expedition to be wreck - land its fate to remain forever un kaoxvn to the planet from which it bad t.ferth? And Vas our, beloved globe, wbicn had seemed so fair to us wfien we last locked open it near by and in whose defense we had resolved to spend our last breath, to be left helpless and at the mercy of its in; placable foe in the sky? At length we pave onrw-lves tip for lost. There seemed to be no possible way to free ourselves from the baleful grip of this terrible and ud looked for enemy. As the comet approached the sup its electrie energy rapidly increased, and, watching it wijtb telescopes for we could not withdraw our tasciuated eyes from it we conld clearly lit hold the fearful things that went en in its nu cleus. This consisted of an immense number of separate luefeorsof no very great size individually, but which were in con stant motion among one another, dart ing to and fro. clashing and smashing together, wfcile fountains of blazing me tallic particles and hot mineral vapors poured out iu every direction. As 1 watt lied it, unable to withdraw my eyes, I saw itapginary forms reveal ing themselves amid the flaming me teors. They seemed like creatures in agony, tossing their arms, bewailing in their attitudes the awful fate that had overtakt n them and fairly chilling my blood with the pantomime of torture which they exhibited. J thought of an old superstition which I had often heard about the earth and exclaimed, "Yes, surely, this is a flying hell!" As the electrio activity of the comet increased its continued changes of po tential and polarity became more fre quent, and the electrical ships darted about with even greater confusion than before Occasionally oue of them, seized with a sudden impulse, would spring forward toward the nucleus of the comet with a 6udden access of velocity that would fling every one of its crew from his feet, and all would lie sprawling on the floor of the car while it rushed, as it seemed, to inevitable and instant de struction. Then, either through the frantic efforts of the electrician struggling with the controller or through another change in the polarity of the comet, the ship would be saved on the very brink of ruin and stagger away out of immediate danger. Thus the captured squadron was swept, swaying and darting hither and thither, but never able to get sufficient ly far from tho comet to break the bond of its fatal attraction. fco great was our excitement and so complete our absorption in the fearful peril that we had not noticed the pre cise direction in which tho comet was carrying as. It was enough to know that the goal of the journey was the furuace of the sun. I5ut presently some one in the flagship recalled us to a more accurate sen so of -our situation in space by exclaiming : "Why, there is tho earth. " "hy, thrrc i the earth." And there, .deed," it was, its great globe rolling under our eyes, with the contrasted colors of the continents and clouds and tho watery gleam of the ocean spread beneath us. ' We are going to strike it, " exclaim ed somebody. "The comet is going to dash into the earth. " such a collision at first seemed inevi table, but presently it was noticed that the direction of the comet's motion was such that while it m ight graze the earth it would not actually strike it. And so, like a swarm of giant insects circling about an electrio light from whoso magio influence they cannot es cape, our ships went on, to be whipped against the earth iu passing and then to coutinue their swift journey to de struction. "Thank God, this eaves us," sudden ly cried Mr. Edison. "What what?" "Why, the earth, of coarse. Do yon not see that as the comet sweeps close to the great planet the superior attrac tion cf the latter will snatch us from its grasp, and that thus we shall be able to escape?" And it was indeed as Mr. Edison had predicted. In a blaze of falling meteors the comet swept the outer limits of the earth's atmosphere and passed on, while the swaying ships, having been instruct ed by signals what to do, desperately applied their electrical machinery to re verse the attraction and threw them selves into the arms of their mother earth. In another instant we were all free, settling down through the quiet atmos phere with the Atlantic ocean sparkling in the morning sun far below. We looked at one another in amaze ment. So this was the end of oar voy age! This was the completion of oar warlike enterprise ! We had started out to conquer a world and we had come back ignominionsly dragged in the train of a comet. The earth which we were going to defend and protect had herself turned protector and reachiug out her strong arm bad snatched her foolish children from the destruction which they had invited, i It would be impossible to describe the chagrin of every member of the expedi tion. The electric ships rapidly assembled and hovered high in the air, while their commanders consulted about what should be done. A universal feeling of shame almost drove them to a decision not to land upon the surface of the planet, and if possible not to let its in habitants know what bad occurred. But it was too late for that. Looking carefully beneath us, we saw that fate had brought ns back to our very start ing point, and signals displayed in the neighborhood of New York indicated that we bad already been recognized. There was nothing for us then but to drop down and ejolain the situation. TO BE CONTINUED. BUTLERS THIN SCHEME THE PROFFER OF FUSION ONLY A FEINT- They "Demand" Plenty of Offices What Skinnar Says Examinations, Explanations Chartered. RALEIGH, N. C, May 19. The last clause of the Populist resolution is: "Kesolved that this convention elect a, conference committee, which shall be authorized to confer with any party or faction of a party which declares its endorsement or the above principles and purposes axtd which favors co operation with the Populist party, to carry the same into effect upon such basis as will maintain intact the integ rity of the people's party and as will preserve to it not less than its present representation In both State and na tional affairs." This means a demand for a Populist Senator, five Congressmen and plenty of "pie" generally. Senator Butler says: "Our proposition is made in good faith. If accepted it w ill be carried out in good faith." Harry Skinner is perceptibly hacked. He said: "Butler got a majority of the convention, not squarely and openly, but in his Usual manner of indirection. I lost nothing in the fight." Otho Wilson, Skinner's first lieuten ant, said: "1 don't see that the con vention is for the best interests of the party. It may be, I hope so. I am not able to see it. The platform I heartily endorse. I think a mistake was made." Otho looked very sour. He and Walter Henry are both named "Mud." Dr. Kxum of Wayne said: "There will be no fusion with Uemocrats. What was done is merely a feint. Our party is strong enough to go it alone. There will be no fusion at all. The State charters the Appalachian Iand and Lumber company of Murphy, Cherokee county, capital $6,000, stock holders C. P. Koss and others. It will xvork the Hammond and other proper ties.

The War With Spain is Proving a Costly Undertaking. From the Washington Pst. The war is costing $l,0il0,0(H! a day. If it continues for a year it will involve an expenditure of over JIW.OOO.OiM). The appropriations already made, or esti mated as necessary for that period, are as follows: For the army, estimated Jltjn.OOO.OOO For the navy, estimated 7.1.UiMt,W0 Emergency defense fund, ap propriated uil.OiiO.OOO Army deficiency bill, passed. 35.KOO.OtM) Navy deficiency bill, pending 22.000,000 Regular army appropriation bill, passed 2:3,000,000 Naval appropriation bill, passed 8.000,000 Total $425,000,000 While a small proportion of the above ordinary army and navy appropriations would have been necessary even if war had not occurred, yet the fact remains that amounts given do not include many other expenditures that are cer tain to be contracted. For instance, the estimates for the army and navy were made before the acquisition of the Phil ippines. The retention and government of these islands will add materially to the expense of the war, as some 12.0011 or 14.HOO men are to be sent to Manila, and ships and supplies have been se cured at a large outlay. It may be questioned whether the war wilt last a year. U is the popular impre.-,.,;..n that as soon as the antici pated naval battle is fought and won. Spain will sue for peace and thus end the struggle. This optimistic view is not shared by Senator Allison and oth er Republican leaders, who may be supposed to reflect the views of the ad ministration. It is said that even should peace be declared in a month or six weeks, the Pnited States will have an expensive and lengthy task before it in establish msr a stable government in Cuba and effecting the occupation and I control of the Philippines. There is also a growing feeling that Spain s fleet will v not risk another comDat won me American navy, and thus the war will be indefinitely prolonged. He Caught On. From the Youth's Companion.
