"Come tin here." be aald. "and take

Felton climbed to tbe small platform
on which tbe captain stood. Just be

he peeped Into It. Pictured on the

"But, say." answered Felton. "which
side are you on In this mix? -You blew
up the turret, you aay, and the air
shin destroyed her. But the crew of
that nlrsblp displayed mortal fear of
you and Jumped overboard at sight of
you."
"Exactly. They would have gone off

off.

"Tbo side of the Lord."

But you cannot deflect horizontal

the dome of tbe submarine. It looked
curiously like tbe dome aaaped roof of
tbe airship. "I know well," be went
on, talking aa waa bla wont among bla
