CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, inventor of an airship, rescued from fugitive flying machine called a kclicoptor, a beautiful young girl. II and III Carson is infatuated by her and takes her where sho cau communicate with her friends. IV Carson visits tho Roc, n giant airship owned by Shayne, uncle of Virginia Suarez, the girl ho rescued, and, being coldly received, leaps from tho Roc, at a great height, in u parachute. Tliat parachute," said Max. "could sot save two from death, even If they made a good drop. And In this dark ness" Virginia, having recovered her self possession and the control of her knees, rose and, entering her cabin, threw herself on her bed. She felt a fcorror of Sllberberg, a sense of disgust with the Shnyncs. To think that they could so insult this young man who bad saved her life and treated her so beautifully, no matter what ho was te offer him money, to send him aft like a servantl No wonder he had struck SUberberg's odious nose. Later , ibe rose, preened like a bird before the alrror and sat down to think. The voices of ber uncle and aunt and Mr. Silberberg came to ber ears from the maln'salon. Opening her window for air, she noted that the roar of the wind from the earth had ceased and knew that they bad reached tho calm area, of which Wlllctt had spoken, in the middle of the "low." They would probably have an easy landing In Chi cago. And then? One thing was certain she would aot live longer with the Shaynes. They were too sordid, too bard, too cruoL And she would not stay with them any longer! Ob. if she only had just one relative la the world save Aunt Marie! Stayl The thought struck her of her mother's father's people, somewhere in the south. Her mother had been dis owned by her family for a perversely contracted marriage, but they were southerners, and they would not see an orphan girl of their kin go home less. She would leave Aunt Marie a note of thanks for all her many kind nesses, take her really, truly own be longings and fly south. So there! So resolving, she became quite calm and walked into the main xalon in a Tery matter of fact way. Aunt Marie Save a shrill scream and fainted. Sil berberg said that be would be tor mented. Mr. Shayne stared blankly. "Well," said Virginia, "do you think X am n ghost?" "Oh. child." gasped Aunt Marie. "where have you been with him?" Virginia stood still, her eyes ablaze, ber cheeks burning. The Hoc was coming Into the Chicago garage on the roof of the Aerostatic Power build lng in a most beautiful landing, but aone of the party knew it. Sllberbers was gazing at the enraged Virginia In unbounded admiration. Her splendid anger bad won him back. Shayne spoke in foolish agreement with his wife, half believing for the moment that there was something questionable in Virginia's absence. "With a beggar!" said he. "A bandit," said Aunt Marie, "an assassin!" "A beggar!" repeated Virginia In lofty scorn. "Why, oven if ho were one, In raga and a hovel, he'd be worth a million like you! An ussusslu, a bandit! And, if he is, what are you? You rob by syndicate, assassinate by .general managers and superintendent and mnko beggars by votes of shares! 2 loathe you, and 1 1 I admire him as much as I toatne you. As between bandits like you and bandits like him give me the brave man rather than the cowurd!" Wlllett Interrupted the scene by an nounclng their successful lauding They passed constrainedly Into the tower and went down to the street and to Shayne's Chicago hotel In n motor car, all in silence. In tho mornJng a letter was taken to tho Shayne apartmeuts. It was short, tear stnlned missive of grntl tude, penitence and furewell from Vlr gluln to ber aunt. It ran: Tou hove been as Iclmi to me a any woman can be to a person she cannot love. You havo never loved mo, Aunt Marie, and you will never sco me fiualn J blush to be obliged by our unjust sus picion to say one thin:; more. I am not KoIiik to any one.

There was a Jostling at tho rear caused by late comers, at which the serious young doctors frowned fiercely. The lines moved for ward, and the men as they passed the physicians seemed to undergo some sort of operation performed by means of glittering Instruments, of which Theodore caught glimpses like light, nlng playing about those slltted shirt sleeves. Theodore found himself In the hu man current and drifted with It On closer view he saw that the doctors pricked the patients with little glitter ing weapons, but he reasoned that It could bo nothing very severe. Craighead passed on. and Carson took his place. The doctor looked searchlngly in his face, seemed puz zled and reached to another region of the tray for a syringe. "Tou should have rolled up your sleeve or cut it." said he sternly. "Roll It up." Theodore rolled up bis sleeve, where upon with an expertness quite star tling the man of medicine pinched np a bit of the brown flesh, shoved In the needle, pressed down the piston, and Theodore wns "shot" With a stinging In his arm and wondering as to the why of It all, though he knew by this time that be had dropped out of the night sky Into full membership In a drink cure establishment, be passed on. Dr. Withcrspoon met each patient with a standardized smile, clasped each hand with a grip of absolute uni formity and said, "Good morning, Mr. Bascom," or whatever the name might be. "And how Is the appetite this morning? And the tongue, please. Pulse regular, I observe. Have you had your constitutional this morning? Improving nicely, Mr. Bascom. Good morning." They returned to Theodore's room. Soon entered Mr. O'Grady, Mr. Evans and a slender person of about Carson's size, who at once began the coursing of Imaginary game on the wall paper, slapping his thigh and laughing at every failure. "This," said Mr. O'Grady, introduc ing the indoor huntsman, "is Mr. Wy lie, Mr. Carson." (To Be ContinuerY CRUDER, Spanish-Franco Frontier July 2S. Awaiting tho signal for a general strlko throughout Spain, 7000 well armed, desperate and tuoro or less disciplined Spanish exiles nro gathering near hero today prepara tory to an invasion of their own coim tiy. Tho general outbrotk and a big anti-government movement has been planned by revolutionary lcadors to tako placo r.t Barcelona. Invaders In tend to march straight to Barcelona to join with tho strlkors. Thoro Is every prospect that tho exiles and the Barcelona masses will clash with the troops that nro mobilized In Spain's industrial capital. Therel s every prospect of desper ate fighting in Bascelona and of dis orders throughout Catalonia. It Is bellved here that riots already havo occurred, but tho government cen sorship Is so strict that littlo naws comes out of Spr.ln except by cour ier. Dally tho Spanish officials glvo out "official denials" of minor af frays and tVo repetition of theso de nials adds to the belief that tho sit uation is moro serious than tho au thorities will admit. Senor Claremont, leader of tho ex iles, estimates that 20,000 men will re-enter Spain tomorrow. More con servative estimates are that tho num ber of exiles will reach 10,000. Whether Claremont and his aides can hold their men in tho ranks in tho face of a formidable showing by King Alfonso's troop! Is tho question wor rying the revolutionists. General opinion Is that tho exiles will stand the test. Tho main body consists of Catnlons, and most of tho men ravo seen service in the king's army. 3IARRIED. DAWSON-PEYTON At the bride's home at Peyton, Sunday, July 24, 1910, Elmer Dawson and Miss Myr tle Peyton. HnRWn for Hpftlth APPETITE FOR APPLES MADE MAN WEALTHY PORTLAND, Or., July 28. (Special.) An appetite for luscious, juicy apples made tho fortune of Professor J. L. Dumas. While teaching in Honolulu he frequently tried to get tho kind of apples he had been accustomed to in the north west, but without success. The only npples ho could get were small, shrivelled and tasteless. They sold for about 5 cents each, though, and that led to the thought that not enough apples were grown to supply the demand. Profes&or Dumas acted on his idea. He returned to the northwest nnd purchased 1-10 acres near Day ton, Wash., for $3000, which repre sented his savings for 20 years of school teaching. Professor Dumas has just sold his original orchard and 100 acres more he added to it, for $150,000. Besides, he has taken $12o,000 off tho property in apple crops sinco he bought it. Many a mini lias eoncumed his fortune in gratifying an appetite; few can suy thoy made one by doing the same thing.
