CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, inventor of an airship, rescues from a fugitive ffoing mnchino called a helicopter, a beautiful young girl. II and III--Cnrson is infatuated by her and takes her -where she can communicate with her friends. T'tsyche! Psycho!" he gushed. "Oh, Tm gladl And you are weir Mrs. Shayne called Virginia. "Pleaso come In said she. "It's wet out there." Mr. Carson gave Virginia his arm, and sho swept into the cabin. "Uncle Finley," said she, "I don't know how he happens to bo aboard. kut this Is this is my" "We know," said Mr. Shayne. ,rWe picked up your deliverer down in the woods, Virginia." OhJ" said she. "Then I" Tou were the only one. It seems, ta ignorance of Mr. Theodore's pres- ace. We have some business to talk rer. What's up, Wlllettr Wlllett, the pilot, appeared at the oor with a salute. "We seem to be breaking records," said Wlllett- "The Cktance gauge shows St Louis near- at, with low variation for headway. Indianapolis Is weak, right around a hendred and fifty miles, and we're getting Indistinct registry that's either Nashville or Chicago, depending on whether it falls off or Increases." "I want to see you a minute," growl d SUberberg and drew Shayne out upon the deck. Wlllett went back to his work; Mrs. Shayne bowed grandly to the empty air which her gaze indicated as occn ying Carson's position; Virginia, bog ging his pardon with her eyes, excused herself and followed her aunt, and Carson was alone. SUberberg was making it unpleasant for Shayne again. This fellow, he said, has been taking liberties with Miss Saarez, and be (SUberberg) would not stand it "1 tell you. Shayne," he urged hotly, "he must be put off! He must be paid and put off. If be isn't" "If he Isn't," smiled Shayne, "It wouldn't be a serious matter, would it, Maxr Tes," splattered SUberberg. "He Insulted me! I tell you. it's all over between Federated Metals and Aero Btatlc Power If I'm forced to take things like this." Shayne laughed heartily, but he seeded. Mr. Shayne saw real danger of a breach to which no obligation to Carson could have forced him and grasped Sllberberg's band warmly. "Max, old man." said be. "you're quite right We can't go down in this wind to let him land, but wo can send aim aft" Theodore was examining bis para chute as the pair entered the cabin. UI have decided," said Shayne. "that your neronef doesn't Interest me." "Very well." replied Theodore. "You are the sole judge of that, of course." "And you may consider the negotia tions off," went on Shayne. "I adopted that theory some time ago," repUed Carson. Shayne took out his purse and os tentatiously removed from it a num ber of bills. j" "I think 1 ought to pay you for your time." said he, "and your service to aiy niece. Please take these and be good enough to go aft with the crew." If SUberberg had not seen fit to indulge in a sardonic laugh at this exigency the explosion would not have occurred, but that sneering chuckle acted as a detonator for Carson's tern fr. Ha attack ghayne's extended hand scattering the bUls over the floor, tflaayne stood wka flaring nostrils and white with rage. "Don't notice tho fellow, Shayne," aid SUberberg. "He wants to keep ks hold on tho girl und" The speech was cut short by a blow from Canon's flat band delivered with Ughtnlng quickness and with stinging force. As calmly us though bidding SUberberg good morning Carson spoke to him. "Bo careful bow you speak of her." aald he, "or I'll throw you over the aide. Mr. Shayne, permit mo to say that you are a cur. 1 shall leavo this craft at once!" He started to go on deck, but as If reconsidering ho turned and rapped on tho door through which Virginia had disappeared. Tho girl opened it and looked breathlessly Into Theodore's face. "I am about to leavo tho Roc," said fee. "I could not leavo without bid ding you goodby." "Going?" said sho. "Have we de scended?" "Keep away from that mau!" screamed SUberberg. "Ho struck hip, and ho knocked your uncle's money all over the ship!" Carson stood aside for her, and they went out upon the mile high deck. She halted, aghast to note that they were still high among the clouds of tbe storm, plowing on through a wild wasts of r tossing vajport .while the honrso growl from tho enrth was so distant as to admonish her of tho gid mm e SBorrsD orr into tub ulack abtss. dy height from the ground. Beyond the Ulumlnatlou of the lights it was absolutely dark. "You must be going aft?" said she interrogatively. "I'll go with you." "No," said he. "I shall never sco you again, but I shall never forget you. Goodby.. Psyche! Uoodbyr That Instantnneous leave taking the trembling girl never forgot. Pressing her hands, he started forward as if to clasp her in his arms. Ie turned from the embrace already half beguu. step ped upon the rail and dnpped off into that black abyss of night and tem pest Like a stone he fell. lost in the mists. The parachute, so far as she could Bee, had not opened in the least when he vanished, and with palUd face sho stood there peering over into the un peopled space, her soul filled with hor rible visions. (To Be Continued.) It Is tho dcslro ot tho management that tho vegetable exhibits ho mndo a prominent feature of tho show. It Is tho plan ot tho Oregon Stnto Horticultural society, tho hotol mon ot tho city and the Portland Commer cial club to hold a big applo show ono year from this tall In tho armory or In other commodious quarters and innko tho affair as pretentious as tho National Apple Show of Spokane. Thero was eotno tnlk of attempting tho stunt this fall, but it was de cided to postpono tho big show for another year lu order to nllow tho farmers tlmo to grow tholr exhibits and gtvo the organizers plenty ot time to solicit subscriptions tor pre miums and completo tho necessary nrrnngemonts for to largo nn under taking. It is tho Intention to secure exhib its from all pver tho northwest for this show. The premium list will necessarily have to bo largo, but in each caso business houses and Inter ested persons in tho sections from which tho fruit Is brought will bo asked to furnish tho promlums. Agitation for the big show will bo started Immediately and tho work of getting out the premium list will bo under wny during tho applo show this fall. The prominent hotol mon of tho city and tho Portland Commercial club are very much Interested In tho proposition and sufficient backing is promised to make tho affair a big success.

The apple show to be given on No vember 30 and December 1 and 2 under tho auspices of the Oregon State Horticultural society will he the largest and most pretentious evor held in the state If tho plans ot the secretary, P. W. Power, and others interested work out successfully. For the reason that the show this year will be held two or three weeks earlier than last season's show was held, the chances are greater that there will bo no freezing weather to interfere, and henco the growers can ship in their exhibits without any danger of their being injured by frost. Last fall many growers in Medford and eastern Oregon points who had prepared unusually fine exhibits wore kept away on account of the inclem ent weather. Tho occasion will havo a double significance due to the fact that It is tho 25th anniversary of the horticul tural society. The exhibits will be by Oregon growers only. Cash Prizes Total $3000. It is expected tho cash prizes will amount all told to about $2000. Be sides this the horticultural society will offer 60 or 60 medals. Tho pre' mium list will bo out early in Au gust. Tho premium donations receiv ed so far are more numerous than was the cast last year, but several more subscriptions are still expected from various commercial bodies In tho Willamette valley and other busi ness towns. In order not to havo the prizes bunched on two or three kinds of ex hibits, Secretary Power with tho sanction of all the growers Is ar ranging the classification of all tbe awards. One new feature of tho show which It is expected the exhibitors will ap preciate will bo tho awarding to each ono winning a prize a beautiful diplo ma, Tho diploma will bo large onough to loow well In a frame. It is thought this stunt will bo a drawing card for many exhibitors who would not show otherwise. Last year only small slips with tho announcement of tho pre miums won were hsued. Prizes for Vegetables, Tho show will bo held on the fourth floor of tho Meier & Frank building, where thero will bo con siderably moro space for exhibiting than last season's show had, A num ber of prizes and medals are offered for vegetablo exhibits. At the last show no vegetables wero shown, but this time with tho fact known that prizes for vegetables aro up, it 1b thought the farmers will respond.
