I1 Virginia was thinking of the victory 1 f Carson. He bad been great in work- ' bg out his creation, and now be bad hade war on her Uncle Flniey, tne i leer of tho Stock Exchange, in bis t 'cry den and won! But yet this last i Jctory was not like the first This ! as the old story of finding bow to iplolt the world by monopoly; that ' Jras doing, creating. Yet Theodore I pr of being bcr nncle. All was over .etween them. Yet she unatiy an i Jwered Sllberberg inconsistently. i ""No," said she. "I am not very sor j y. But I shall need my hand now to fold my dress out of the dew." ("Tell mo once more that you are not jorry. please," said he. 4 ' ..I .i.n .in oIia ranflunrojl him "In act i I am rather glad, Mr, Sllber ?erg." , "Mnx!" said ho unctuously. "Let It ; Max. your fellow prisoner!" i "Well. Max. then!"

At the same hour Mrs. Shayne burst to Sbayuc's den. her breath short. er face flushed, her attire and coif. ro disarranged. Shayne knew the Symptoms. "Oil. tell me it isn't true!" she cried. jTell me that I am not humiliated, ac ially controlled, by tbut bandit from Jie Alabama forest!" J Mr. Sbayne begged her to calm her' golf. I "It's only an Injunction," urged Mr. jbayne, "We can't use tho Roc be cause the court forbids It" "At that man Carson's requqst!" I 'II you. Flnley Sbayne, It Is a trick of JhV proletariats to lmmuro us here and fame at their leisure and kill us" "My 4r, ny dearl" urged Mr. Slinyne. "That U quite ItnposslhV Wo could go In tlio 'Roc rather tlmn be murdered." "You Imprison me nntl then Insult me. Coward! If going In the Ho- N so easy, why don't we go? 1 thought 1 was married to a in:ui!" Shnyno siimug to his fcot. "Mnrlc," said he. "tho Hoc will be ready In half tin hour!

Mrs. Shayne Knew better than to try flopping hint. lie yelled tueMsnges and orders luto telephoned Ho Issued hur ry calls for valets and maids. The forcofulness that had made hlui what, he was came uppermost. Suddenly Into Shayne's den burst Sllberberg, his face red,' his whole being simmering hot. "I'm done with you!" spluttered Sit. bcrberg. "Get me away from hero If you're a gentleman!" "If I wasn't I'd have you kicked, off!'' said Shayne. "You can't Jump op me, If you are my guest! I'll" "She's refused ntc In a way 1 can't stand." protested Sllberberg. with hands upllung. "She said 1 was dis gusting! I cnn't,Btay!t "Well." nnswcrwl Shayne. "the Roc sails at once." The other members ofthe Imprisoned party were at the garage before Sllber berg, Mrs. Shayne In the cabin, Vir ginia and Shnyno in animated debate on the platform. "Well." Shayno was saying to her, "stay, then, like a simpleton ! But how are you to get away? I don't kuow how long the courts will keep this up, and our running the injunction won't make it any shorter!" "It's blowing awfully." said Sllber berg. Nobody noticed him but the pilot "I know it, sir." said he. "It's fool hardy to take this gas bag out" "Shayne." said Sllberberg, "the pilot says it's not fit to go out" "Then stay," answered Shayne. "You're welcome to fhe house." "But Shayne." cried Sllberberg, "it may mean getting whirled out to sea or" "Out to scar sneered Shayne." "And' the wind southeast Stay If you're afraid. Virginia, Mr. SUberberg's go ing to stay with you." Virginia walked aboard with a look of disdain, the bitterest cut of all. The winches drew back the leaves of the great roof to let out the Roc. and the surge of the outer air filled the garage with windy tumults. Sllber berg suddenly resolved to go and leap ed to the gangplank. The drawbridge roof dropped down; the Roc, huge, steely and majestic, went out of her vast nest. Shayne sullenly gave orders to lay a course dead for Temagaml in spite of the .northwesterly wind back of the clouds. By waiting for the tUrn of the wind they might have made New York, but every mile of northing took them farthor from-the central "low" and Into a larger circle of the htfge whirl of the, gale. The pilot knew that Temagaml was out of the question, though the wind blew dead toward It nay. because of that fact, for a high wind never blows straight, but always In a circle i about tho "low." So Shayne, violating the rules of weather outside to make sunshine within, was not surprised when told that they were approaching the lino of reversal the turn of the wind. "Ilead against If ordered Shayne. "aud cross Lake Ontario before dark if you can." "It looks more than we can face," said the pilot "If It Is shall we run before It and try for a Pennsylvania port?" "Use your best Judgment" said Shayne. "Yes. Blr," said the pilot, whose best Judgment bad been to stay housed. "And you may want to know, sir, there's some sort of craft astern and overhauling us." "The devil!" ejaculated Shayne. "I'll take a look at her." The binoculars revealed an aeroaef perhaps five miles astern, with wide wings. In which he could see the shim mer of blades In rapid revolution. The exclusive rights of the Virginia, the singular swiftness and power of the flight of this aeronef aud tho shimmer In her wings assured Shayne that he was pursued by the machine which hud wrecked his mouopoly. They wanted to put him In Jail for breaking their injunction, he raged. The shame of it he. Flnley Shayne. a fugitive for sailing God's free air In his own ship! And the danger of It. too, for Canada and safety now looked utterly unattainable. The mountains slipped from under them, and the farms nnd villages took their places on tho moving concave- of the earth as tho big ship made speed toward tho Mohawk. Tho Roc was struck by an opposing gale; n suddeu hurricane smote her decks as her mo meutum drove her through tho north wind. She turned before It The great concave panorama below slowly reversed and began paying off to the north as tho vast ueronat drifted like a bubblo to tho south before the fiercest blow sho had ever dared en counter. Canada was out of the ques t!on. "If we reach an aerial harbor," said Shayne through tho speaking tube, "what do' you think of trying a land ing?" "Sho'd rip to strings," said the pilot "We'd bo killed." To tho pursuing Carson the Roc Foenied doomed to tho aerostat ship wreck n shattering falln landing or watery extinction lu t'to cpoii ei.
