MED1T0JRD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. AVMDNKSPAY. AUGUST 3, 1010. Virginia of ihe Air Lanes A ROMANCE OF FLYING By Herbert Quick J C9rjto. 1000. by th Bob)- Mmu t-ompmy SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, inventor of an airship, rescues from a fugitive flying machine called a ielicepter, a beautiful young girl. II and III Carson is infatuated fey her and takes her where sho can communicate with her friends. IV Carson visits tho Roc, a Riant airship owned by Shayne, uncle of "Virginia Suarcz, the girl ho rescued, and, being coldly received, leaps from tho Roc, at a grcnt height, in u parachute. V, VI and VII Ho lands in the grounds of tho Slattcry Institute for Inebriates, where ho makes a friend of one Craighead, who plnns to raise capital to manufacture the new style airship Carson has invented. Thus iiey hope to rival Shayne, who con trols tho airship industry. . VIII Mr. Waddy decides condi tionally to capitalize the Carson Craighead project. CHAPTER IX. hk ntCEiTioN or "racxr. theodore." JP'JpiHEODORE'S mind, habituated to the airy ease of an unut- m tercd faith in his mastership of the n!r. felt the galling of '.reality as he walked westward from he station toward dilapidated Car- aon's Landing. Seated on a stump, be sought mental adjustment before entering -bU bouse. lie had had his chance with Shayne. """tho prince of the powers of the air," and bad thrown It away in hot words to Shayne, In n blow to Sllbcrberg and iy leaping from the Roc Into tho un known abyss of night. These were actualities. The broken deflector of the parachute ho carried proved that, as did the memory of his foolishness ever Shaync's niece, now happily for ever past Air. Waddy's money and Mr. Craig .acad's telegrams saved tho day. Tho first three yellow dispatches bad come in one delivery at Nashville, ad fceseed to "Theodore Carson, tho Illus trious Inventor and Thaumaturge. Care Conductor. Train 75." Theodore, the Illustrious, could not accumulate the courage to ask for them, but the wise conductor had pounced suddenly apon him and said, "I reckon you're .Mr. Carson." "Yield not to temptation, fear or cold feet," the first read. "Your Undo Ful ler Is at the helm." This was signed The Great Uncalled," with the first two words run together as "Thegreat" in a telegraph operator's effort to re duce to tho semblance of a name Mr. Craighead's nom de guerre. Tho sec cad ran: "Ilave no fear. Monopoly Is as clear in the air as on the land. Apologies to Sir Humphrey Gilbert. Kouo to any one else by a deru sight, Conspuez Shayne." This was signed ""Craighead, the Legal Bloodhound." 'An old Broom," ran the more niys- terlous next, "albeit minus one cover and dog's eared, nevertheless sweeps clean. He yokes tho whirligig to our car and sweeps tho howling skies!" (Signed) "Dandy Jim of Caroline Gray Ml." The fourth, delivered at Blr BQingham, was addressed to General Theodore Carson, M. A. ("Monopolist f tho Air"), and consisted of ten repetitions of "Kureka," signed "D. J. et C." The last came at Bay Minetto and was too astonishing to bo explained on any theory consistent with Craighead's sobriety and saulty, "Caroline's dad," It rend, "falls dead at unveiling of .Broom Idea.

And what In the uaino of all the gods at onco could a "Universal Nitrates and Air Products company" mean in an aerial navigation deal or tboso mys terious expressions about "surround ing" Chicago and Greater Now York? Well, Aunt Chloo was in there, shuf fling about, wondering where ho might bo, nnd here he was. looking on spec trally and unsuspected. With the com mon limnati Impulse to secret ap proach, Theodore walked on, conceal ed between the Spanish bayonets and a somber lino of red cedars, climbed the end of tho vernndn, scuttled Into the broad ball nnd up to bis room. Into which he stepped quickly, breathing n little harder. Ho opened the closet for a chauge of clothes and started back In wonderment quite as paralyz ing as horror, for bis clothes wcrv gone. Instead there sat a huge trunk with Its ltd back, its open tray full of silken hosiery, corsets, laces, gloves, handkerchiefs nnd openwork things of mystery and terror. On the hooks were many, many others quite as aw ful, frilled and tucked and ruffled and plaited garments, silks, dimities, cash meres, linens, cottons and soft light woolens, filllne his closet nnd spread against the wall for occult reasons con nected with keeping them in shape, and protruding from the trunk were more clothes, while In corners of the bcdroogi wen more truuks. A light step sounded, nnd bo froze to -a statue of panic and trance and paralysis. Some one entered. Ills heart bounded and theu stood still, for It was Psyche of the dunes. Shayne's niece. Virginia, entering Jauntily, maddeningly, like a real woman tak ing possession of his bedroom as her own! She had n little subjectively de rived smile on her lips, held In her hands a spray of huckleberry blooms, which she put to her nostrils nnd then stuck In a vase by the old mirror. "Psyche!" he stammered. With a little scream she darted to ward the door, ivcosnlzed him as h" emerged from the closet, noted his paleness, turned back, her hand ou her breast and n quick palpitation in the . i mt .w,,u. .nw luu uv... b ja ii snared robin. Yet she was the least excited of the twain. Her alarm ceas ed with her recognition of him. "My robber," said she in a half whisper. "Oh. I'm so glad!" .
