MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREO ON, WEDNESDAY, .JULY 20, 10.10. Virginia of the Air Lanes A ROMANCE OF FLYING ay Herbert Quick Copyright. 1909. by the Bobbi Merrill Company SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, inventor of an airship, rescues from n fuRitivo flyiuR machine called a .lielicopttT, a beautiful youuR jjirl. Captain nurroa tea mc way easterly alongshore to a spot where the shrub gnvr well down toward the beaten each. They walked bnck between damps of dark green rosemary, over a low place In the dunes, down to the dry, hard bottom of a former pooL They emerged upon a little Irregu lar hillock nnd looked forth upon a strange tarn of inky water, Its black wares, crested with foam, like white plumes on funeral crape. The shores ef this sinister lake were densely wooded by sullen ranks of pines nnd cypresses. Virginia gasped at sight of the somber mere. It seemed such an eery spot In which to be cast away "with these strange men who lived be Wnd closed doors and walked the Bands as to leave no footprints! "Hani out the launch, captain." "Why was the trim, speedy looking launch so completely hidden In tho tall cane? The pnldooa puddling In the reeds made sounds like prowling ac complices. Miss Suarez swept haughtily to her place In the boat. Carson, with his eye steadfastly flxed on his engine. quickly shoved off. "Evenln' to yeb." said the captain. Btlll with one foot In the wnter. like a heron. "Good evening." responded the young Jpcone, anil Carson folftbe puU'ofR ns they stepped ashore. "Can 1 do anything mo' for your' ho asked. "No, no; you must go nowl But thank you a thousand times," said she. "Psycho," said he fervently, "I shall never escape from the tolls you have lured mo into. Never!" lie carried her hands to his lips, kissed them passionately and leaped Into the boat. Virginia watched him atuazedly as ho darted away llko a f rlghtened tarpon, not toward bis cab in In tho dunes, but out through the cntranco of tho bayou and oft across tho bay toward Tolnt Clear. Ono more mystery to ponder over. I CHAPTER III. caksox's i-tsmxa. T hns always been a point of genealogical dispute ns to whether or not Theodore Carson's fnther was of kin to tho founder of the old Carson place up Fish river. General Carson In his lean years Used to sell turpentine to his name sake at the dingy ship chandlery on tho wharf near the Bslara street oys ter dock. On these commercial occa sions the general, when mellowed by juleps, with his foot on the brass rail and bis elbows on the liar, used to call the ship chandler "cousin." At other times, however, ho made no bones of his opinion that the Mobil Carsonses were daslfcd common people nnd branded as Impudent any fool claim of kinship between the humble trades man and the Carsonse3 of Marengo county. Theodore was a little bitter sometimes as be recalled the phan toms, the pursuit of which had ruined two successive owners of the estate the general's breeding maggot nnd his father's curious pride in a mere name whereupon he gave chase to a phan tom of his own. with what success we shall see, and followed what his friends called n rainbow with such true Carson enthusiasm that when he left Virginia Suarez on the dock at Strong's bayou, on that sandy, doll clously dreamy, southern shore of Mo bile bay. he steered through the night for a house very nearly dismantled, on an estate growing up to persimmon thickets, dewberry beds and palmetto slashes, the very title to which was about to pass to his creditors. His ignis fnruus was In the cabin among the gulf beach dunes, but neither that nor the precarious state of his for tunes could account for his alternate Joy and gloom as he fared north In the night. The sky maiden was the thing that really mattered. He wondered whether her people knew of the chance by which he and Captain Harrod had rescued the fair castaway. Probably they believed her lost The helicopter had scarcely paused when she struck the dune, but bad shot out over the gulf like a flying gnIL They must mourn the girl as lost, and be bad the girl's name to discover. Tho Roc came coasting back in the same tardy dnwn that lamped that Mr. Silberbcrg lighted and smoked count less cigarettes. Mr. Shayno nervously walked the deck and debated the ques tion of letting Mrs. Sbayne know of her niece's tragic death at once or of waiting for a personal interview. For the Roc had had no word of either the helicopter " the girl, and they saw no gleam of hope for her. She was n dependent and something of a prob lem for Mrs. Sbayne. Any ordinary circumstance that would have sep arated the aunt and niece would not havo been mourned lnconsolably by either of them. In fact, Mrs. Sbayne hnd expressed to her husband some wonder as to what Sllberberg saw In the girl. But to lose her like this, with all the unpleasant publicity of the ter rible affair! (To Be Continued.) THERMOMETER AT 90 MAN FREEZES TO DEATH As announced a week oro, says the Tidings, tho mayor and l'ivo council man, through Attorney A. K. Konmos, have caused restraining order to bo issued nnd served on tho city re corder, in which 150 referendum peti tioners are niudo defendants, from taking any notion in regard to tho referendum petition. This restrain ing order, being in the nature of an injunction, was issued by County Judge Neil, in tho absence of Judgo Calkins at Grants Pass, tho signers of the referendum petition having been given ten days in which to re ply. To further fortify their potition, tho mayor nnd council always ex cepting Councilman Cunningham, who is not a party to tho proceed ings have caused summons to be served on each individual singer of tho referendum potition. This serv ice was begun last week by Deputy Sheriff Thornton and is being finish ed up todny. The result of this gen eral restraining order nnd spocifio summons service is that the status of the remonstrants is somewhat changed, they being defendants when tho mntter is brought up for argu ment before the circuit court later on. The summons cites ench individual to answer within ten days and the result of tho citation will probably be that the petitioners will employ counsel to argue tho ense in their bo half when the question comes up for decision before the circuit court, which tribunal has jurisdiction. Attorney R. O. Smith of Grants Pass was in town last week confer ring with signers of tho referendum, nnd the conclusion is reached that he will appear in their behalf, in which event a local battle rovnl is looked i for over the issues of the question ! involved. JEALOUS FRIEND SHOOTS AND KILLS MAN SACRAMENTO, Cnl., duly 'JO.- -While washing his face at tho kitchen sink preparatory to going to work early this morning and within a few soconds after lie hud passed a friendly good morning to his pro fessed friend, .Manuel Francis, Joe Dunrto was phot by (ho former and almost instantly killed, Francis gave himself up to tho po lice and confessed the shooting, the polico say. , Francis' motive, according to his confession, wan jealousy.

Carson, steal tec look at her. saw the flush dying at upon her face and a smile taking -ftta place a dimpling, spasmodic smile, -accompanied by little quick dilations ef the nostrils, as If Miss Suarez was desirous of indulging In a laugh, but mw no citable reason for so doing. She waved her handkerchief at the captain. "Do you see," said Carson, pointing to the receding shore, ''that the little "Mil at the landing Is Just a mass of hells?" "Whv. so It is. I believe ." nhn or. ekdmed. "How came so many there?" I yunK somnambulist to his home. 'It's a prehistoric kitchen midden." aid this most extraordinary young pirate. "So many people lived there that they literally made a hill of the shells of the mollusks they ate." "Indeedl" ejaculated Virginia, and after a long pause she added, "How eddT Mentally her speech was, "How odd that this young outcast should know -about archaeology, or is It paleontol ogy?" It was easy to study him because .be looked so religiously away from ier. He was rather Interesting. He throw over the tiller to round .into a llttlo reedy core, but instead of running ashore be entered a narrow creek, which be followed through Hcb amazing tortuosities that tho sun, low In the west, was now on the right, sow on tbc left, sometimes astern and again dead ahead. Their talk was verging upon the per sonal and therefore to be discouraged. How keenly observing he must be to detect In her cosmopolitan English the Id home accent! She bad supposed "herself to be quite rid of It. She was cjslte recovered from her alarm and looked bewitching as they emerged from tho narrows and shot out Into the lagoon, the blue waves of which sad subsided Into round rolling short wells. "Goodby," cried Virginia, looking Iwclc Into the enchanted marsh. "Good ly! This Is the world again!" Carson' was looking the other way with less persistence now. There was something mysterious In tho charm of this girl's manner. Her goodby to the .narrows seemed a subtle rapproche aaent to him. Tbey were in the world, aad therefore, figuratively, she let him come closer. The lights of the hotels and villas alone tho north shoro swept by them 1b a panorama of fairy illuminations. "Wo have been very impersonal," aid be. "May I Introduce myself? My name Is" "Ob, please don'tl" sho exclaimed. rForgivo me, but I'd rather not kaow." "It Is mo' interesting," said be, with slow smile, "not to know, I shall always think of you as" "As the girl from Mars," sho sug CMted. "I caino tumbling down to you In a heap out of the sky." "Isn't there an asteroid named Psyche?" he inquired. "I'm going to assume that there Is and name you after that" "A purely telescopic star" "Because of Its distance only, Fsyche." The boat quietly passed out across the woven threads of light that web bed the water from a thousand points about Strong's bayou and gently came to at the dock of tho Jupon Hedge Sen.
