inventor of nn airship, rescues from
n fugitive. flyiuR mnchino called a
helicopter, a beautiful younp; pirl.
CHAPTER II.
HOiriTAIlLE BANDIT.
THEODORE CARSON stared for
a moment In amazement at the
prostrate girl, then took her
tenderly la his arms, carrying
lier toward the hidden cabin. At the
tcepost spot Captain Harrod overtook
blm. But the young man paid no
keed to offers of aid, wading steadily
o to the door, which the captain un
locked and opened, standing aside for
Carson and his interesting burden.
Theodore took her Into the largo sin
gle room and laid her softly on a clean
looking bed.
"She la dead!" said Theodore In a
kushed Tolce.
"Is her heart beatln'J" tho captain
inquired.
"I don't know!" cried Carson.
Carson laid his car lightly to tho
white blouse. Some fluttering ho
acemed to feel, but he could not be
certain. Harrod brought water In a
watering pot, which be seemed to hare
planned to use as upon a Illy or rose.
-Do It beat?" he asked.
"I can't teH." said Carson, "nor
whether It's my pulse or hers that
beats. Oh. I wish what do they gen
rally do. captain?"
"They's some paht o' they frock that
always has to be unrore. ain't they?"
Inquired the captain auslously.
"Captain," said Carson, the perspira
tion standing on bis brow. "I'm going
nt on the gallery for air. You do
what has to be done, captain or she
any die!"
"Put some watah on huh face, sun,"
Bald the captain. In judicious avoid
ance of extreme measures. "Ah don't
reckon this hyah's a case fo' vl'lent o'
oconse'TatiTe remedies. I'll oncork
that ha'tsho'n bottle!".
Carson pressed a wet towel to the
girl's face. The captain held a bottle
labeled "ammonia" to her nostrils.
She gasped, drew a quivering sigh and
opened her eyes. The older man was
looking at her In a fatherly way, and
the young one was sponging her fore
head, his face near hers. She sat up
suddenly.
"Ton haTe had a fall, madam," said
Carson, "and are shaken up a little.
But you are safe and among friends."
"Ob, thank you," she said, in a tone
sf the most correct formality. "It's
ever so kind of you, sir. I I I Oh.
I thought I was lost! I thought I
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! O-o-o-h!"
Suddenly, from the polite common
places of speech, she broke into hys
terical screaming. Captain Harrod
poured a stiff glass of red liquid from
a bottle, diluted It and took it to the
shuddering girl, who looked pathetical
ly up into bis face for a moment, swal
lowed It obediently and coughed as if
atrangled by It.
"And now," said Mr. Carson, "we
will lenvo you. If you will excuse us.
Please feel at ease. You are quite
safe, and the cabin Is yours. We arc
tn all ways at yo' service. The cap
tain here Is my friend, and we belong
to a race that sees a sister In every
helpless lady. I think you will desire
to sleep, and I hope you may awake
Tefreshed, after which we shall place
euroelves mo' definitely under your
command."
She looked at blm questlonlngly.
The softness of bis voice, bis little
Inconsistent lapses into dialect as he
uttered the old fashioned cblvalrlc sen
timents, won her trust.
"Ah'd He down, ma'am," suggested
the captain, "ontll that medicine gits a
chance to wuk. Goodby, ma'am."
Virginia lay back and closed her
eyes, but tho potion brought no drow
Blness. Her face grew hot. and she
knew her eyes would shine If she
opened them with a brilliancy quite
fascinating to the young man with the
littl black mustache. The fact that
ahe thought of this startled her. Was
abo growing flighty with fever? Why
this abnormal hilarity of spirits, in the
exaltation of which all anxiety depart
ed? She rose and walked out unsteadily
upon the veranda and saw Mr. Carson
and tho captain sitting Idly Just be
yond earshot of the cabin. They came
to her respectfully.
"I camo out to thank you, sir," said
Virginia fllgbtlly, "for your heroic be
haviorheroic, romantic, mediaeval
Behavior!"
"I beg of you not to mention It,
aaadam," urged Mr, Carson, with In
finite solicitude. "But may 1 not In
sist upon your allowing me to escort
you back to your room?"
The girl assented, and sbo was soon
asleep.
Tueodoro mado broth of one quail,
peeped la to see If his guest were
awake, served-the broth to the captain
and made more. The sun wore to the
west, the last quail was cookod, the
captain waa providently gorged with
alternate courses of bird and broth,

out upon the gallery. Cnrson shrank
bnck Into tho kitchen and shoved tho
cnptnln Into tho broach.
"How do you do, tua'ntu?" he In
quired solicitously. "Ah sho' hope yo'
betto' aftnh yo sloop."
"Much bettor, thnuk you." sho re
plied. "We have some pahttldgo broth,
nin'nm," ho went on, "with rlco, nntl
a baked yam, and a planked green
trout from the hike bnck hynh, and
some coffee. Sit down, ma'am, and
Ah'll suhvo It."
Tho little table was spread on tho
gallery, Its top made of tho head of n
derelict cask, Its logs of barnacled
sections of a boom. Virginia's head
ached in dreadful similitude to tho
traditional feeling of the morning after,
but tho coffee fragrance wns pleasant
"You arc too good." said she. accept
ing tho chair. "I shnll bo glad to cnt
a little. Where la your your frlcud?"
"He's som'eres about," replied tho
captain. "Ah really don't know, ma'am.
Won't you pleaso tako yo' cotteo?"
The coffee was black aud strong.
The broth was a temptatlou. and she
Blpped with Increasing appetite. But
tered yam and planked trout brought
the meal to a triumphant end. Yet
where was she. and how should sho
depart? Where was the Roc? Who
were these men? Tho guns, tho brass
Instruments that looked as If they per
tained to navigation, tho big window
lass shed, all suggested things nautical,
bold and nefarious. Tho. kindness and
courtesy of the rough looking fellows
reassured her as to her personal safe
ty. Yet If they were smugglers or
freebooters how could they safely re
turn her to the civilization of coast
guards and constables? It was dell
clously romantic but how creepy!
She turned to Captain Harrod with
an expression 'so agitated that he was
somewhat startled.
"I wish you would say to tho lieu
tenant," said she, "that I must see
him at once If possible."
The fisherman analyzed this speech
for perhaps a minute In absolute si
lence, then he said, "Yes, ma'am," and
Instantly produced Carson, who, so
far as Virginia could judge, bad been
within the captain's sight when she
bad been assured that his whereabouts
were unknown.
"You are," said the young man.
avoiding any reference to her recovery,
"doubtless wondering where your
companions may be and thinking It
strange that they have not returned?"
"It Is strange," said she. "Some
thing must have happened to the en
gines." "No," said Theodore, "not that
They all but blew out to sea. They
simply had to fight their way off to
ward Pensacola. where they must have
made harbor. It was almost half a
gale."
"And so they went and left me?"
"They really couldn't help it" urged
the young man.
"It shows the sort of man SUberberg
is," she cried hotly. "And now per
haps you will be so good as to help
me to some conveyance to Mobile?"
"I have a boat on the lake." said
Carson, "half a mile Inland. There la
a channel to Palmetto Beach. The
boat and crew are at your service."
"I should prefer to walk. If yon
please." said she.

NO FISH CARRIER
Ralph Woodford Returns From
Grants Pass mid States Sentiment
There Is In Favor of Closing Roguo
River to Commercial Fishing.
Ralph Woodford has returned from
a brief visit to the Ainout dam aud
Grants Pass and reports tho fish
way over tho structure fulfilling its
purpose in ovory way.
"For several hours I watchd tho
flshway," states Mr. Woodford, "and
I saw a number of largo fish mnko
their way ove- easily. Thoro arc
practically no fish lying beneath tho
dam.
"I was greatly surprised at tho son
tlment I oncouotored in Grants Pass
regarding tho proposed law to Btop all
commercial fishing in tho Roguo. Tho
residents there, for tho most part,
favor the move, as the? Btato tho
business brings little rovenuo to tholr
city. They also realize that tho Roguo
river as a trout stream v-ould attract
many tourists annually."
