C ) THEltE are few opportunities anywhere lo the world to see to ninny historic sttea Id half a down hours at during the brief airplane trip from Constantinople to Athena. The route ti pared with geography ; with history, which It geography In teracting with mankind; and with mythology. In which elemental geo graphic forces are given childishly hu man characteristics. Poet and historians, ladles and their Leanders, Argonauts and Anzacs, hare to mosaicked wltb meaning this age old route that the air traveler, com pleting It between breakfast and luncheon, would need that last-rain- ate-before-drowning clairvoyance to take In even the broad outlines of the picture on tiie rift between West and East, Europe and Asia, sailor and Bom ad. Greek and barbarian, between what was known and what was oft the map. The battleship Agamemnon, leading the allied fleet Into the Dardanelles, A. D. 1015, churned the very waters that bore to the siege of aTroy Aga memnon's thousand ships, launched by woman's face, almost as many years before the Christian era. Xerxes. Alex ander, and the Turks, their exploits separated by centuries, all crossed the Hellespont at the same point. The northeasters that cool or chill both Bosporus and Gallipot!, and the treach erous currents which Inspire gruesome gossip are the same that Strabo and Herodotus described. ' The plane Is fitted with pontoons nd rises from the Bosporus. Rehlmt the Genoese castle of Anatoli Kavak. only moment ago outlined ngulnitt the Black sea, has flattened out gainst a northern tip of Asia Minor. As a point Is rounded, with the pal aces and embassy gardens of Ttierapla below, the view extends to the Golden Horn. By the time the strait between Rn mell and Anntoll Hlssar Is reached the plane la so high alove Mohammed the Conqueror's "Cutthroat Castle" that the ground plan, said to be a chiro graph of his Arabic name. Is Just a comfortable tyeful. The ground plan of Robert College takes on rare symmetry. In Its center a football game Is being played by two tribes of rarl-colored ants. Now the Constantinople Woman's cnlleee Is reached. Its buildings aligned Into one Imposing facade. The coal-pockets that smudge the Tlew below Arnaot Kol sweep south toward the glittering Jewel-box mosque rf Orta Kol and the roofless ruin of Cheragun palace, prison, and parlia ment houae. Looking Down on 8tamboul. There Is u slight haze above Rlntn boul, the Seraglio palaces are visibly Isolated from the teeming city ; and the cornucopia curve of the Golden Horn despite Its fame, a mere nick In the east pro edge of Europe Is clear ly cut between close-rooted slopes, pork-marked by Are and mournful with cypresses rising above mnrtite keletoned cemeteries. The fuhled even hills unite Into one main, curv ing ridge. Now the plane la almost over fat domed rianrta Sophia ; and the six minarets of the fiultnn Ahmed mosque, o needlelike from the ground, seem tqust towers, The obellnks In the Hip podrome, Byrantlum's antique pleas ore center, have no height, but their shadows stretch wide across park the perfection of which was never be fore so evident One wonders when architects will begin to design struc tures to be beautiful from the air, as landscape gardening already Is. Outside the left windows the Princes Inlands bathe In sun-spread quick Silver and the Gulf of Ismid loses It self beyond. Off the right wing the landward wnll of Byxantlutn, starting Imposingly with the Seven Towers, dwindles away until Its battlements are lout behind hill overlooking the Sweet Waters of Europe. Now one looks straight down on the Island of Marmora, unexiwctedly lurge nd full of valleys. Around tiny liny In the north edge. mnrhle clllTs or slag dumps, white as chalk, describe linrseshoe curve. Now Euroie edges In from the right, With the ridge of Teklr Ihigli, empha sized by cumuli, stretching down to give backbone tn Onlllioll. What n pluce to study geography I The two on Constantinople, most famous straits of olden times, where Helle drowned and lo, Hera's rival, forded the Bosrorua, Now the upper entrance to the Hellespont has been reached, with Gulllpoll on the opposite shore. Just under the hull Is a level hill where there used lo he Turkish fort. ' A little further on Lapsakl comes Into view. It tased to be Lampsncua nd was famous for Its wine and i'rl aplc worship. The town, being made of mud and atone, may have moved about a bit, but the name hat hovered right there alnce the days when Themla toclea was Its nionarchoa and the Idea of hereditary monarchy was new. Lapsakl has its own little marina, but the main town stunds back from the water, Its reddish-brown roofs ar ranged In aeemlngly perfect squares. The Junction of land and water here Is of extreme beauty, the shoreline edged with a greenish blue breaking way to the royal purple of tbe deep er water. The ship seemingly Increases Its speed over ihe narrows where Leander swain to see Hero and set an example for Lord Byron and others. On bridge of boats Xerxes crossed here to Invade Europe. A century and half luter Alexander returned tbe compliment. Beyond the Gulllpoll peninsula one can see Buvla Bay and below la the old tower of Chanuk Kalesgl, until re cently ringed with modern forts. Across the narrow neck of water Is the trefoil fort of Kllld Bnhr, stalk less ace of clubs spiked down with tall central tower. And here Is Troy, Immortalized by Homer and Vergil, described by'stra bo, rain soaked, soggy plain, cut by mere brooks snd utterly without dra matic quality. The whole outline of Tenedos may be seen as one flies along. Its central portion cultivated, Ita shoreline notched by ways to which the Greeks withdrew, leaving the wooden hone outside the Trojan walls. The lilts of Greece. There are pifch-black clouds ahead, their lower aides festooned with wav ing wisps of rain like Spanish moss. The plune swoops down to lutaj feet. The long line of I -emtio nils the horizon at Ihe right and through the opposite window Lesbos (Mytllene) detaches Itself from the flunk of Ala Minor. Only Indistinct suggestions ol land lie ahead. Skyros shoulders her blood-red, craggy cliff toward the ship's path. When the flight has lasted three hours an Acropolislike plateau on Euboes shows Itxelf. For the first time the plane dives directly toward the la nil to find low, narrow pass above cul tivated fields, salmon pink amid gray rock and lush green and dotted with circular stone threshing floors neal the Gulf of I'etali. Then cornea the supreme thrill; fol there, sweeping round In perfect curve like t gold-edged scimitar laid against the blue, Is the Plain of Slur athon. Hoary-headed I'arnes looms be yond, and I'entellcus, neighbor ol Athens and mother of her marbles, suggests how short flight remains; yet how long that run for I'hldlppldes, bringing news that the Medes and I'erslana were In flight and that Milt I adea had won I A wheel of spokelike roads, cutting the fertile slesogulas, centers In Mark opoulon. At least -dozen pleasant villages are tn sight at once, pearl gray, amid crop and plow-stlppled fields pushed to the limit of man's en durance against the dull skeleton ol Attica. Now the Rnronlc Gulf Is hejow, opalescent tints showing on an oynter-shell-shaped beach. What seems td be tbe mainland to the left Is really the Island of Saliiuils. From Marathan to Sulnmls, ten-yenr struggle for the Persians, and the flyer can cover It In the sweep of an eye I A brightly tinted new town, Its. landscape gardening reduced lo the proortlons ol painting, grows be low as the plane descends. Little I.yka hettos spears up to the right, and the Acropolis begins to assume a fraction of Its wonted dignity, as tiie very heart and renter of Oreek life. There Is a bus terminus, and down the plane mines, flashing pact new villus and deserted piers. One final glance for the flyers at that historic plain between I'arnes and llymeltos, and down their ship splashes like duck, In I'hulcrou Buy, to the eust oj 1'lrueus. Cfie varoness Orczy WHIT. JffrvC9 Cbpyrifht Baroneiss Orczy CHAPTER V Continued Kay, morel There were many who positively asserted that lu some un explainable way the whole of the Peseze affair was connected with the rapture ol the English spy who was known throughout France as the Scar let Pimpernel. This spy had been il work In the district for tome time; every one knew that It was he who had dragged those cl devnnt traitors and arlstos, the Totirnon d'Arenays. out of Citizen Ijiuxet ' clutches, and CI i lien l-auxet was now having his re venge. He would capture the Scarlet Pimpernel, catch him In the act of try Ing tn effect the escape of the Peseie family, am' thus earn the reward ot ten thousand llvres offered to any man who would lay that enemy of France by the heels. Lucky Lauzetl Thus to have the means ot earning a sum of money inHictent tn keep man and his fare lly In affluence for Ihe rest of their ilves. And besides the money there would he the (lory, tool Who could gauge the heights to which man might rise If be brought about the rapture of the Scarlet Pimpernel? Well, La met would do HI Lucky l.auzet I He would, certainly do It ss serted some; those sort of men always have ill the luck I There were even those who asserted that the Scarlet Pimpernel was already captured and that Lauzet had got him. Lucky, lucky Lauzetl "You don't suppose,11 one man de clared, "that anything would be known of the affair unless It waa already ac complished Lauzet Is not one to talk till after thing Is done. No I Not Believe me, my friends. Lauzet has already got hla tea thousand llvres lo his pocket!' He wus wizened little old man from over Lanoy way. and now be dolefully shook his bead. "And to think." be went on. "that I might have laid that English apy by the heela myself. If I bad bad a bit ol luck like Lauzet." A shout of derision greeted this as founding aasertlon. . "Von, pupa SargonT" om. of the crowd ejaculated with loud laugh. yuu. laying the English spy by the heels? That Is the best Joke I've heard for many a day. Will you tell ua bow that came shout T And pupa Ha r goo told the tale how lie and bis wife had visit from a sound ol soldiers who told him that they ere after bond of English aides who were known to be In that district The soldier asked for a night's shelter, aa they were weary after long day's ride. Papa Sargon had niMde them comfortable In Ihe big bum behind Ihe rottage; but the next morning, when he went to see ho they bud tn red lo the night, be found the burn empty and the soldiers gone Xnd papa Surgon remained convinced In his own mind that for the better part ol a night he had harbored tbe most bluer enemies of his country and II he bud only guessed who those -mpiMoed soldiers were, he might have informed the local commissary of po lice, and earned teu thousand llvres tor himself. , Now. tills story would not perhaps nave been altogether convincing to uo prejudiced ears, but such as It was. mil with everything that had occurred in Molsaon these last few days, Il aroused considerable excitement It went to prove that the Scarlet Pim pernel wns not nearly so mysterious or so astute ss rumor credited him to be, Ince he almost fell victim to papa and mamma 8argon. It also went to prove to the satisfaction of the com pany present' that Citizen Lauzet bad been alinr(ier Ihun papa Sargon and, having come scrims the Scarlet Pim pernel through some lucky accident he had laid hands on him and was even now conveying him to Purls, there a grateful govemmenl would hand hi in over the promised reward f ten thousand llvres. This notion, which gradually III l rated Into the minds of the company, did not lend to make Citizen Ijtuiet any more impular; and when present ly most of thai same company ad journed to Leon's for refreshment, there were some among the younget men who wanted to know why the) should not have their share In those ten thousand llvres. The Scarlet Pim pernel they argued with more enthu slnsm than logic, hud been captured In ihetr district The Iteseze fifmlly who were In some wsy connected with the capture were citizens of Molason; why should not they, citizens of Molsson. ton, finger a part ot the reward? It was all wild and Illogical, and It would have been Impossible for any me to any definitely who wus the prime mover In Ihe ensuing resolution which, by the wuy, waa curried utuin Ini-iiisly. that a deputation should set nit forthwith for Mnntet tn Interview Citizen lauzet and demand In the Mine of Justice, and for tbe beueflt , of Molsaon. -some share In the money prize granted by the government for the capture of the Bcarlet Pimpernel. Subsequently, both papii Sargon and I drover from Alnrourt were held to be chlclly to bliime, but as papa 8argon properly remarked, neither he nor the stranger from Alncourl stood to gain anything by the wild goose chase, so why should they have Instigated It? Be that aa It muy, soon after mid day meal, half score of young stal wart! climbed Into Ihe curt of the drover from Alncourt and Ihe party, full of enthusiasm and of Leon's ei cedent red wine, set out for Mantes They had provided themselves with miscellaneous collection of arms; thoet who possessed guns brought them along, then they borrowed a couple of pistols from Leon and two more from old Mltau, who had been a sol dler In his dsy. Bonis of them had sabers, others took sickles or acyibes which might be useful ; one man hsd t sow. another took a wood chopper All these things would be useful should there be a flghl over this affair, and most of them hoped that there would he a flgnt The first disappointment came on sr rival In Mantes. Here at the commis sariat they were Informed that Cltlsra Lauzet bad been gone these last two hours, lie had ridden away In Ihe company of his friend who had come from Parla some two days previously. The general Idea prevalent at the com missariat was that the two men hsd ridden away In the direction of Parla The second disappointment a eorrol lary of Ihe first, was that the dill gence with prlsnnera and escort hsd started on Its wsy less than ball an hour ago. It seemed In truth aa U the plot thickened. Lauzet and hla friend from Parte gone, the diligence gone I No one paused for a moment to reflect how this could possibly mean anything In the nature of a plot but by thla time spirits were Inflamed Unaccountably Inflamed. Every one .was an poor these dnys: money was u terribly hard to earn; work waa ae grinding, remuneration so email, that now that the Idea of the capture of the English spy with Its attendant re word bad seized hold of the Imagina tion of these young hotheads, they clung to It tenaciously, grimly, certain that If they acted quickly and wisely and If no one else got In Ihe wsy, they would succeed In gaining the golden prise.
