II nnd III Corson is infatuated by her and takes licr where she can communicato with her menus. IV Carson visits tho Hoc, a giant airship owned by Slmyno, undo of Virginia Sunroz, tho girl ho rescued, and, being coldly recoived, leaps from tho Roc, at a great height, in a parachute V, VI and VII Ho lands in tho grounds of tho Slnttcry Instituto for Inebriates, whoro ho inf.. n a friend of ono Craighead, who plr to rnUo capital to tnanufacturo tho now style airship Carson linn invented. Thus they hopo to rival Shayne, who con trols tho airship industry. VIII Mr. Waddy decides condi tionally to capitalize tho Carson Craighead project. IX Carson goes to Florida to complete a ontnplu airship to exhibit to Mr. Waddy, nnd he finds Virginia there. aim yet one tiny n slimy iiipIiiI u"i monster stuck a blunt nose out from Uip water at about tho llvo fathom contour line, opened n rectangular moutli and (licked a wpmro red tongue iiko an angry minkc until Captain liar rod on tho highest tluno opened a bril liant red handkerchief with a Chau tnuipm saluto and wiped IiIh noso chili orately. Whereupon tho sea monster sank beneath tho brine. What took place that night was concealed by darkness. If Captain Ilarrod was busy carrying pnekages ashore until morning ho camo by them honestly, no doubt. An examination of tho popular nov els or periodicals of the past any of tho era of that president whoso Chris jtlim uainu our Theodore bears-will bu rewarded by a realization of prophecy gone wrong as to tho Intlueneo on smuggling of aerial navigation. It must bring free trade, they said. Bhlps navlgnting tho air could land their cargoes anywhere. Yet tho air ships gave tho custom house people little trouble. Airships were so con spicuous; their loads were necessarily no light; the system of reporting them by wireless from Canada. Mexico and tho Islands was so elllclent. Ver. unexpectedly It was the sub marine that drove tho "revenues" wild pud tilled the law hooks with Draco nian statutes. No trade ever grow faster. The boat llsh dived beneath the waves and rose on home lonely coast like this by appointment with some Captain Ilarrod sitting (Ike a bowhls kered bit of wreckage on tho dunes. Ilarrod was nervous about the foot prints, and ho pereircd In a search until he found their maker lying asleep In a comfortable steeping bag In a nearby thicket. He rtkounUed him as Wlnier. Inventor of tho helicopter that was blown out to sea Ho wakfd Wlz iior, and the latter assailed Harred In itbuso which Included the absent Or son. "'You let my helicopter go out to ben," ho walled, "and It was worth a million dollars to nw." Ilarrod took pity on tho Inventor, and as a rosult Wlzuer stayed for weeks, sleeplug In hl bag on the porch or the cabin, and, to the cHptalu's In tense auger, tried eeral Union to vUlt GREAT STRIKE IS ON IN FRANCE cnAPTi:n xi.

She had taken lllght to Carson's Land ing and to shelter In the shade of the sole remaining branch of her family tree, full of confidence that she would llnd there n silver haired undo and n delicate old lavender nunt. redolent of tho old regime and ready to rccelvo her tenderly loyal to tho Carson blocd.

Sho begnn to wonder now whether ho wns a world's genius or only tho crudo product of n country college, with nothing to command a second glance except his sinewy erectness, tho pathetic, yearning In his eyes nnd the wonderful softness in his voice.

"Will tho bay bo rough?" asked Mrs. Stott as If confident that tho captain served out tho weather. "Dead ca'in. ma'am." "We'll go." said Mrs. Stott. The ladles hurriedly packed their duunnge and embarked. They were n gay jinny . Virginia was full or laugh ter.
