CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, Invcutor of an airebipi rescues from fugitive flyinc machine called a kelicoptr, a beautiful younR Riri. II nni m Carson is infatuated by her and takes her where sho can eoinmunicato with her friends. IV Carson visits tho Roc, a Riant airship ownod by Shayne, uncle of Virginia Suarez, the girl he rescued, nil. home coldlv received, leaps from tho Roc, at a Rreat heicht, in a parachute. V. VI aad VII He lands in tho fiouuds of the Slnttery Institute for Inebriates, where he makes a mend of one Craichoad, who plans to raise capital to manufacture the now stylo airship Carson has invented. Thus they hope to rival Shayne, who con trols the airship industry. VIII Mr. Waddy decides condi tionally to capitaliio the Carson Craichead projecU IX Carson Roes to Florida to complete a sample airship to exhibit to Mr. Waddy, and he finds Virginia there. X He is in love with Virginia. IfPizner, a rival inventor, conspires to loll Carson. XI, XH, Xm and XIV Wizner with a submarine in a sensational manner almost accomplishes the death of Carson and Virginia and the destruction of the airship, a case of "devilfish versus bird." Virginia flees from Carson in tho Roc. XV, XVI and XVII Carson and Craighead pursue the Roc northward in tho Carson airship, the Virginia. They land at the Shayne home, Shayne's Hold, in the Catskill moun tains, at night. Carson talks with Virginia and is forced to flee. A big lawsuit is brought by Craighead to Rain exclusive dimonion in the aid based on tho rights to their air he has acquired from hundreds of land owners. Craighead argues in court. XVIII Shayne determines to vio late an injunction issued by the court by sailing in the Roc. The Roc is wrecked in a gale. "Just a little delay," said ho to Mr. Coryell. "You know how It Is last kisses of" bridesmaids veil askew rubbish but wo must wait" Mr. Coryell, with Craighead's money In his pocket, sufficient in amount to pay the entire expenses of his vacation study of Atlantic gasteropoda, waited smilingly, rubbing his hands. Mr. Van Brunt lighted a cigar and looked of ficially grave. Carson seized Craig, head by the throat In the privacy of the kitchen. "What do you mean?" he snarled. "What Insane thing is this?" "Explanations." said Craighead, ex tricating his throat, "are uncalled for. ( Ti ) ft liW fill J an i i i 11 UIP v Throw n lit on the rug, rip mi,, u , snort, weep, light, fivt, tear thyself, drink up olsel, cut a crocodile, take her In your arms, and luclilcntnll.v mention the fact that tho thing's a wntter of record and will lie In alt the papers. It'll work. Why, blast v,m' picture, It's got to work. If It doesn't I'm stuck for $7R for fees and corrupt tlon money!" Carson walked back and forth, torn with rago, embarrassment, and anxiety for the result with Virginia, thrilled with a growing realization of what it might mean to him. "I'm going In to tell her," said he. "Ami If I fall I shall come out and kill you, Craighead!" "I shall make no wlll,"snld Craig head. "Why, If sho were Caroline and I you" Carson walked Into the apartment of Virginia. The serving girl withdrew and left them alone. "Virginia," said he, "I'm going to take you with me!" She unshed rosily, but. woman-like, refused to take his meaulug. "I can't go back, uukle," said she. "You fulled iu your exams. 'You are marked away, away down as an uncle! But I've forgiven you." "Don't let's talk of that," said he. "I shan't even niologizo. I'm glad I deceived you! Glad, do you hear? And now you're going hack Psyche as my wife. Don't struggle and try to escape. Don't you love me? Don't you love me? Don't you love me?" She was past the struggle now, and In the new print gown of tho servant maid she lay In his arms, quite surren dered. The time passed much more rapidly for them than for Mr. Craig head. Ills voice grew hoarse, the roco co periods grew shorter, and at last he rapped on the door and called "Time!" The audience had entered upon the phase of impatience characterized by stamping in unison. "What do they want?' asked Vir ginia. "Us," said Carson. "Let us go out." "Out?" queried Virginia. "Out there?' "Virginia," said Carson, "did I not say I was taking you away with me now?' "Oh!" gasped Virginia, shrinking back. "You don't mean for me to un derstand" "The minister Is outside to marry us darling! Come!" "Oh. Theodore!" she gasped. The door opened. Craighead's voice came through In Inquiry. "All ready?" he asked loudly. "Then let the cortege move! After these nup tials we shall have the full music of the grand swee,t song. Like Prince Nglb of Gllbertlnn story "We will dUteentlr play On the zoetrope all day And blowthe loud pantechlnlcon all night! "Forward, march!" The wedding march from "Loho-j-grln" tinkled feelingly forth from the piano. The minister stood In the nar row cirque left open by the crowd. Craighead. like a new dufked usher, bowed grandly at the door to let them through. Theodore took Virginia's plump, print covered arm and whisper ed In her ear promises which Instinct told him would break down the last resistance. The short service went on as remembered by tho priest. "Who gives this woman away?" And who but FInley Shayne broke through the press to take her by the hand and respond heartily, "I do!" And when the ring was called for who but the captain of the life saving crow, true to the traditions of the service, came forward and took It from his chain and saved them? And when the minister asked, "Do you. Virginia, take this man to bo your wedded busbnnd?" and the dear old remainder of It who but Theodore Car son turned dizzy at the bride's pause before answering, and who but Vir ginia said sweetly and clearly, "I do?" And as for Craighead, that worthy gentleman would have been in still higher feather bad he known that within two weeks he was to succeed in persuading his adored Carolino to Join him in a similar ceremony.

Carson stood before Cralghend with clinched lists, furious at Craighead's wenndalous uso of Virginia's uaino In public. "Strike in duo time," sold Craighead, "hut hear! You told mo to do for you what I'd want dono In your pluee. You said Virginia loved you" "I said I believed ltl" answered Cur son, groaning, "Oh, Craighead, Craig head, yoq'vo ruined mo!" "Itulned your granny that is, of course, I disagree with you entirely. Faint heart never won tho money, I tell you tho wedding hells are now ringing. Go to, slrrah-go to her. Give her tho rush.

Twice In his career Sir Arthur Sulli van, after building up n small fortune, was placed In the same unenviable po sition as was Mark Twain when in 1895 his "rainy day" balance dlsap peared In the failure of a concern it which he was Interested. And tho fa mous composer met financial disaster with the same equanimity ns did the author. Uy far the greater of the two financial disasters which overtook Sul livan happened In 18S2, and the news reached him uuder very dramatic cir cumstances. In that year "lolanthe" was produced at the Savoy, and ns usual Its composer conducted the Drsi I performance. On tho day fixed for j tho production the bankruptcy was an nounced of tho firm In whoso keeping 1 Sir Arthur had Intrusted all his se curities, and the news of tho crash reached tho composer Just as ho was setting out for tho Savoy thcuter, "In a moment," says Mr. Lawrence, his biographer, "tho result of tho work of a lifetime and of economy had been swept away. From tho inonetnry point of view ho had to raako a be ginning nil over again; hut, unmoved by his III fortune, ho conducted tlt first performance of 'lolanthe' llmf night." London News.
